Anyone know a good movie converter. I have some .MKV files and would like a program that would convert them to whatever the note uses for HD movie viewing. Thanks.
Any Video Converter Pro.
I'm using it to convert videos, clarity is pretty fine, give it a try.

One question - i've downloaded a trailer, which is around 850mb. It is 1080p, but i guess i with higher bitrate, because it is with normal length - the normal size would be around 250-400mb.
The point is - do we have any constrains here?

ntfs can't support by g-note.
I'm trying to transfer some bluray movies over to my note. Is there free software that I'll be able to to use to help me accomplish this?
I prefer a free version but a paid version will do as long as it's not complicated to use. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
MPEG streamclip for Mac. I encode DVD rips to 1080 p mp4 and they play and look awesome!

I do not know what the actual max. bitrate for Mali 400 is, but it does handle both 1080p baseline-profile and 1080p high-profile 4.1 just fine. The maximum bitrate seems to be quite high as everything I've thrown at my own Note has played just fine and most of my files have quite high bitrate, including the 1080p HP version of Sintel.
Samsung doesn't make available all the details of the Exynos chip -- the most important stuff is under NDA -- so the only way to determine the maximum bitrate would be to test it manually, and that could take a good while.
You could try Handbrake. It is one of the more versatile video converters out there, but playing with the video output settings can be a pain the first time.

I have made a thread about Handbrake for the Iconia Tab A500 and included several premade presets there, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1184002
If you are going to be watching on the Note's own, small screen I would suggest picking the high-profile 720p preset and lowering the quality-slider a bit as you won't see the difference anyways, but if you're going to use the Note connected via HDMI to a larger screen then the 1080p high-profile preset as-is would be better.
I would go MPEG streamclip over handbrake that's just me. Read it handles mp4 better which is recommended for the note.

I can't play MKV movies.
Where do you put your movies? In- or external SD card?
And how do you copy these films? Do you put the external SD card in your computer or via usb mass-storage?
I hope you can help me so I can watch mkv movies on my note.
By the way I am on ICS LPY custom ROM: RocketRom V4 with Speedmod kernel.

Assuming you have a Bluray writer, and you have relevant burning software (Nero, or similar), convert to Mpeg using mkv2vob (it's free and BRILLIANT!).
http://www.mkv2vob.com/showthread.php?tid=1
It converts mkv files to Mpegs very quickly and you should be able to burn that with no problem.
Alternatively, update your codecs to include a mkv codec and you should be able to burn it with your current burning software.
Hope this helps
Off-Topic question !
Any idea how to compress mkv files ?
Recently I have ripped a DVD in mkv format using "MakeMKV", and ripping was actually fast, but no reduction in size. (No reduction in quality too, to be fair)
Actually I wanted those to be b/w 1GB - 1.5GB for ~2Hr movie file.

BD-r does not mean better video quality. Thats just the amount the disk can hold. If the file is under 8.5 you can use a dvd-dl, under 4.8 dvd and under 700mb cd-r. Now to play it, it would be nice if you tell us what codecs your player supports.
If I was gonna go through the trouble and expense to actually burn expensive Blu-ray disks, I wouldn't trust anything other than the following two best in class flagship products:

Hey guys,
Recently got a note but cannot find a decent video conversion app. What is the size I should convert the video files into? any reccomendations for mac/windows?
Cheers!
Don't have any answer for the question but with mx video player, you won't need to convert probably.
Just use Handbrake which converts to MP4 - you can change the settings to get better quality or smaller file. I've been using this program for all of my phones...perfect so far!!
To play on the Note, MX Videoplayer is your friend!
Unless the file size is larger than 3.9Gb I dont convert it anymore, I use Handbreak to convert it to 3.9Gb but for HD movie sources that are 15-20GB I split convert them into 3x 3.9Gb files to preserve the quality and just delete it after viewing.
For info, here is the link : http://handbrake.fr/
Thanks, I know of handbrake and will try it. Will give MX a go too without converting. Thank you all.
If you're quite technical and/or somewhat of a videophile (as I am!) then I'd recommend giving Mediacoder a try too.
Mediacoder lets your configure a lot more options than Handbrake, but it has a terrible GUI so is a lot more difficult to use.

Well. S4 is quite powerfull for our device and well. Its kinda useless unless you do something that requires that firepower. Well Sony has put a great H/W mhl chip and it can interpolate the screen to FullHD if you have proper cable and tv. Watching Hd movies is a pleasure but only sometimes. I know English and i dont need subtitles. But when i wana watch a film with my family. And its full HD. I cant. S/W decoding lacs and it shows subtitles. H/W is perfect and smooth but Sony didnt make subtitles to be shown over H/W decoding on the big screen. Have anyone found a way to show subtitles ?
So the solution is to download VLC for Android and enable Hardware acceleration in options. It plays 1080p uncomressed videos perfectly and supports subtitles over the MHL cable

And I believe it's got nothing to do with Sony, it's a limitation of the technology, because Dice player offers an expliciely stated experimental feature for subtite output via hdmi. I'd have to check if its for Samsung devices only though, I believe I remember the option saying that.
Side question: most fullhd tvs feature a usb port nowadays anyway, why not use that and play your stuff directly on the tv if the technology doesnt seem to be really there...?

Different connector, different wireing, different (altered) protocol. Nope, not the same.
Well it's not possible on your phone but you have a PC. There's plenty of tools to be found in the allmighty internet allowing you to easily overlay the subtitles onto your existing video. They will be a part of the "images" then though. Depending on the firepower at your disposal, such an encode takes somwhere between 10-30 minutes per movie for a typical hollywood blockbuster.

It's a double-whammy because AVIs are container files (it has nothing to do with the stuff stored inside), and the compression within AVIs tend to not be streaming-friendly.
A lot of commonly-used CODECs for AVIs store essential decoding stuff at the end of the stream. Not a problem for file-based playback, but horrible for streaming playback since devices can't forsee the future.
Unpacking the AVI container isn't too bad, it's the other stuff - and making sense of the FourCC CODEC identifier at the other end that's the challenge.
What is the best piece of software that will convert avi to mp4?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I could have sworn that I've streamed Avi files, the problem is the codec, which are usually not compatible.
You can even test this by changing the codec and leaving Avi as a container.

I suggest A's Video Converter if you have a newer Intel CPU or AMD graphic card, it utilizes them for fast encoding without slowing down the computer much. For a fast computer it could take 10-15 minutes to convert a full movie instead of an hour or more. It's a batch converter so you can add your files and let it run over night.
http://bluesky23.yu-nagi.com/en/AsVideoConv.html
You have to set up a few things in the app like set Encoder to AMD VCE or Intel QSV. Also the correct formats to be compatible with Chromecast (MP4 container, H.264 video, AAC audio).
If you have nVidia graphic card you can use CUDA for fast encoding, but most programs that utilizes it cost money, such as Badaboom.

RealPlayer Cloud is sort of like a "cloud Plex" - their SureStream feature makes sure the requesting device gets a stream that it can play - even if the source file isn't normally playable. tl;dr - RealPlayer Cloud does the transcoding for you - as long as the media is on their cloud.
