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:
(good luck)

Also after I use mkv2vob it creates a folder and inside that folder is a certificate folder and a BD..... Folder now if I have Nero do I burn it data with those 2 folders?

No - burn video with the mpeg file. I'm not sure what the other folder is. I've never had that happen and I've been using mkv2vob for years.

Archer it makes this extension movie.M2ts? Opened Nero tried burning as blue ray video no luck then I burned it as DVD video... No luck any more ideas? They burned fine but the.blu ray play says cannot read files

You need to burn the mpeg as video, not data (UDF). Select bluray video or dvd video and you should be sorted

Try the free download. Simply drag and drop the video file into the conversion window, select highest quality/slow conversion from the dropdown menu, and burn.

[Q] Which video conversion app do you use for Note?

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.

Moboplayer plays everything. No need to convert.

Mxvideo player is the best and if you have big files just use mkvtoolnix (PC app), no reencoding, just split the file in 2 or more mkvs (under 4GB) !

BS player
Plays everything and smoother than MX with my HTC HD2 ICS

[Q] Best Movie Converter for the Note?

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.

720p video playback very choppy?

I downloaded a 720p tennis highlights video earlier today onto my phone so I could watch it later. However, it is lags unbearably on my phone; I use MX player to watch it. In fact, for some reason I can't use any other players to watch it.
I'm on CM10 nightly official, and the kernel is default CM.
Anyone else perhaps have information on this? Thanks.

use mediainfo first to show the profile, usually use profile High L4.1. HH can't handle high profile, you should rip again and change to Low Profile.
Code:
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

im using cm10 nightly only.......using mx player latest.....i can play 720p videos without ny glitch easily using s/w decoder without converting.....for 1080p playback i use h/w decoder it also plays pretty smoothly....i watch a lot of movies in my phone only LOL

It might have something to do with the fact that the video I downloaded was in 4 separate .rar files which I had to extract.

and what's the audio codec? dts or mp3 or what? i use mx player and cannot get the sound because it's dts. using CM7 and symbiosis kernel

Think about bit rate.
It may be to high. But I think it isn't so maybe container has Codec which isn't he supported.

yeah, I also think it maybe container has codec which isn't supported, the MKV, I would suggest you to convert the MKV videos to 720p MP4 videos.
Just get a video converter like formatfactory or Aneesoft online.

Mkv and mp4 are containers lol.
By conversing, chose mpeg2 or MPEG4. Also h264 is supported but it have very strong compression so it may be unplayable.

File converter

Can anyone recommend a good flv to mp4 converter? When using HTC media share to cast movies to my tv the play back on the tv is moving as if it's moving by frames very slowly. If anyone can suggest a converter can you also give me the settings for converting while using this feature for optimal playback? I'm using media converter from the play store but the movie just doesn't play well. Thanks

Best way to convert files would be via PC then transferring the converted file back to the device
