Hey guys, so I have some HD movies I wanna put in my Galaxy Note but the size is too huge. So I wanna convert them to a smaller size but still keep the 720p resolution. Is that possible? I have Super media converter.
yes it is possible you just have to lower the bitrate of the video, also try using Handbrake

Does that mean any compromise in clarity?

Yeah thanks. But how do I tweak the settings so the file remains as 720p but the file size is smaller?

If I understand correctly. Im supposed to download all of the links there and install everything and then create shortcut and just drag my file onto it and just convert then it will be optimized for android. Is that right?
I can play 1080p music videos (around 500mb each) with no lags without the need of reencoding for lesser bitrates. I also play 720p movies (2gb file size) with subtitles without any lags; also without the need for it to be reencoded.

The thing is, most of my movies are > 4gb hence I need to reencode sigh

Pretty much yes. Once you drop the file onto the shortcut, you will be presented with a menu. Very easy. All the explanation is in the thread and so far I found to be the best method to convert videos to Android. Speed and quality wise.

Alternately you can use mkvtoolnix to split the files.
Ah thanks. i hate some problems using VidsOpt for some files. Tried handbreak and it works perfectly. Thanks guys!
Sorry guys to butt in, just wanted to ask a question which relates to 720p playback and file size.
Why is there a limit in which anything over 4Gb in size cannot be viewed?
Basically a movie which happens to be 3.99Gb in size will work but a movie of 4.25Gb for example won't work?
There must be a solution or a way around this problem.
Say you own a 64Gb memory card, having several movies that are 5 or 6Gb in size is nothing and you could fit around 10 movies at one time on the card.
Would ICS have the same restriction with regards to file size?
I have several blu ray rips myself which are around 2.5Gb. However, most of them are 6Gb in size and some others 10 and even 15Gb in size....
Just use handbreak and set the file size to 3.7Gb, no fuss no added config needed.

Its a file system limitation, you can check for the NTFS mod so that you can use files larger than 4GB. search the forums.

Ahh, couldn't find ANYTHING with regards to the NTFS mod or how to use it.
Next week I'm buying the 32Gb Class 10 Micro SD card & will be copying over some HD movies.
Where can I get information of where to get the NTFS mod and use it with my memory card to remove the 4Gb limitation?
Thanks EarlZ

Thanks for the link. I will have to give it a LONG & HARD read as it seems a long & complicated procedure...
For all you mac users trying to get HD MKV's onto your Note, try Mkvtoolnix [had a link but can't post as I'm a new user].
It splits your mkv into parts (really quickly too) without quality degredation. You can even choose the size you want to split them at. A lot quicker than using Handbrake.
Hello everybody. I am going out of town next week for business and wanted to be able to take some movies and shows that I have downloaded with me to play on my tab 2 7.0. They are 720p MKV files and I was thinking about reencoding them to try to shrink the file size down a bit. I know just lowering the res will help do that some but any other thoughts on file type bit rate ect?
I want to maintain as good a quality as I can but lower the file size. The original files look and play great but are a bit big, I only have a 16gb microSD. Thanks for any tips, I'm sure some of you have some experience with this.
Thanks!
I use avs video converter. The filesize is about 800MB for 2 hours of non-HD video. It's easy and works well. You can start multiple sessions.
BTW - I have not used many others.
Are there specific settings you use? A profile for the tab?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using XDA
try out ripbot264 its a great free little app try the iphone profile
the tablet is pretty decent with media files although I prefer AAC audio for its efficiency at lower bit rates, we dont need 5.1
bit rate is a bit of a Q really, try CRF and try some numbers till your find a decent trade off between quality and size

Here you go.....See attached...
I use xVid4PSP 5 they have a bunch of tablet options, none specifically for the gtab 2 but you can easily pick one according to the res. If you dont absolutely have to have stunning clarity, the psp settings work really well, you will only notice the res difference if you look closely. Some movies I've been able to get down to about 300mb and still look good. But xvid does a good job of retaining clarity and reducing file size while not allowing it to be anamorphic. Just my two cents!
h.264 will give much better results than xvid though, best to use that if you can
may I suggest a better alternative?
get a 32GB microSD card. I just randomly looked on Amazon and they have
a nice Sandisk 32GB microSD for only $20, delivered.(assuming you have
Prime, if not add a couple of bucks for shipping) $20 is nothing.... it's
less than two movie tickets.
you instantly double your storage capacity without the need to waster hours
trying to shrink your 720p mkv files. (but if you still want to shrink them,
your new 32GB will hold twice as many movies!) At 800mb per movie,
that card will hold almost 40 movies! Probably enough time to circle the
globe in a 747.
better yet, if you can spare $69, you can get a Sandisk 64GB microSDXC
card that has been proven to work on the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I personally saw
it working on my friend's GT2 7.0. All he did was put the card in the reader,
formatted it to FAT32 via a PC, then inserted the card back to the GT2 7.0.
Now that's a LOT of storage for movies.
Since this isn't specific to phones, I'm moving it to off-topic to see if you can get any help in there.

Hello there!, i got a new Mi a2 with 32GB of Memory, (Yes, is very little) But, i see the space required for the System is a 12GB, well, someone know how recover more space? deleting Useless things from the System or changing ROM, in this case, Other Roms occupy the same space of the original rom? thanks!!
I wonder why Mi A2 lite takes much less space than Mi A2. In my family we have both, and, if I remember correctly, Mi A2 Lite system takes around 7GB while Mi A2 12GB.
That makes any sense? Both android one, both Xiaomi, both 8.1. How can the size be so different? It's almost double.
This happens because the phone has two system partitions in order to support seamless updates.
See:
https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab
https://www.xda-developers.com/list-android-devices-seamless-updates/
You can regain a few GBs by converting your A2 to a Mi 6X (read the forums and be careful). The 6X has no A/B scheme so the system will take just one partition, probably reducing the reserved space. I'm not sure by how much, though.

That is indeed a very good question since the A2 Lite also supports seamless updates and therefore has the A/B scheme. I also would like to know what is causing this difference.
Hello everyone, I'm wanting to buy a stereo for my VW Jetta mk6 2014 and I found this world of stereos with Android and the infinite possibility of doing things. The last cell that I played with roms was a Sony xperia Z1, so I'm pretty out of date with everything new.
First basic question: what is the difference between MTCB and MTCD ?
Second: they are offering me a brand equipment Witson V5808 8 Core, 4gb Ram ... Any reference ?
Third: can I make the button of my steering wheel activate the Google assistant ?
Fourth: what mods do you recommend?
Thanks, love to be back here!
Any help plz?

Wrong forum. This one is for Android Auto head units, not the cheap Chinese ones which run the Android OS.

1) MTCB is older, was replaced by MTCD/MTCE a few years ago.
2) That HU is an MTCD/MTCE PX5 by the look of it. They had good support here at XDA and you can run custom ROMs including Hal9K 3.1 which is brilliant
3) You can with FCC Car Launcher to assign buttons to apps
4) I definitely recommend Hal9K 3.1 ROM and FCC Car Launcher. Between the two it fixes all the HU's shortcomings

Honestly not much difference, software and hardware will be almost identical. Just look for the one that has the features and design you like

Roger that. I'm trying to decide between a similar to the one I mentioned before but 9 inches, very nice without physical buttons, Android 8.0 with PX5 processor 8 cores, 4gb Ram or bring me from outside something similar to Joying 8.1 with the processor also 4gb Ram and 8 cores but Intel, the issue is still not out Roms, but sure is what comes next. Will there be much difference in performance between the Intel and the px5?

I don't know sorry, I only have experience with MTCE PX5 - if you want lots of software support go with the PX5

Hi Guys,
I wanted to change my Mi note 10 Pro for something better with equal/better camera, but I am struggling to do so for half a year already.
I have bought mi 11 pro (which was not so easy considering that I am based in EU and it has not been introduced there) because it seemed that having the same camera sensor as mi 11 ultra, 5000 mah battery and a quick CPU would fit my needs. Oh, how mistaken I was ....
Once it came, I have installed xiaomi.eu firmware (I am using it on mi note 10 pro too) and shot couple of pictures on both devices to compare. Each picture was just: get the phone out of the pocket and take a picture of the same thing on auto settings. In my opinion there are only 2 pictures for which mi 11 pro bested mi note 10 pro. Please crop each image to see how grainy mi 11 pro pictures are. I am totally disappointed...
MI11pro_MINOTE10PRO - Google Drive
drive.google.com
What settings are you using on mi 11? Why there is no exif?? Mine mi 11 is taking much better pictures, why your photos are so small, they're resized and overcompressed?
I used app to batch remove exif data- I am uncomfortable sharing pics with exact location over the web. It seems that it compressed the images.
I don't have the original files, so I will have to take new ones, but I can assure you that I did not fiddle with settings on either phones. Those are just shot out of a pocket.

Feel free to check up the photos now. I have taken the whole set once again and deleted only location data from exif. The verdicts stays the same for me.
