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.

Yep. Well i asked a person who edits videos and he said that it cant be hardcoded. Butt. thanks for the info. Although I really want sony to implement subtitles over MHL. And i mean there is no difference if i say HDMI or MHL. MHL is a convertor and it decodes colors different way. But it has aboslutly the same posibilities.

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.

Well, i think Rom and Kernel dont matter here, i just need to know if there is any chance of recording video (of what im right doing on my phone) and i said i know there is a program for it (called ScreenCast, but this programm doesnt work with Tegra2/3 devices). So my question is, is there any other way to record like that?

Tablets are different and your device obviously uses a frambuffer the o2x does not, however tegra 2 doesn't support NEON at all.
You may use Droid Explorer or Android VNC Server, for getting video by usb cable on your PC. But for this method frame rate is very low.
I use screen recording software to do that. It is not only able to record onscreen video, but also can take screenshots.
Movies play fine on the phone, however, when connected to tv via mhl cable the playback is extremely slow both video and audio! Any solution?

Nope, it will work fine without root. Just don't expect miracles with Fling. It can run mp4 videos fine but MKV's and AVI's are a mess. The transcoder used is complete crap and unless you are running a beast PC and don't want 1080p video you will be ok, otherwise those file types are unplayable as is. MP4 streaming works because it doesn't need to be transcoded. It's just being played natively on the Chromecast.

Stream local unsupport content yes. Mp4 files will work fine. So will Mp3's. Just not AVI's. I think AVI's are causing the most problems actually. MKV's can get playback but it's so laggy and quality of picture is very low. AVI's just seem like they wont play. Still this device has been out for about a month now. You can't expect hacked features like this to be complete. If you buy a Chromecast now you are buying it for what it will do not what it can do.

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.
