Please tell me any question that you have, Looking forward to your reply!
I'm a little confused, the website for this program has a clock that says "time left 52 days". Could you elaborate on that please? Also, I'm noticing large amounts of clipping and distortion to the audio tracks of many videos.
the old version was not stable regarding video quality. in the new one the video is very good, but now i cannot get any sound.also is there an option to add subtitle?
PS: good work with the video...there is no more pixelated video
In order to stream various kinds of videos and movies, no matter MP4, WebM and MKV with incompatible audio or video codecs, or AVI, FLV, WMV, MPG, MOV, OGV, WTV, etc that are natively unsupported by Chromecast, the most widely used solution is to convert them to Chromecast recognized formats.
Faasoft Video Converter is a wonderful choice to complete the above job. Happy with it.

Friends,
I noticed that the video recorder uses .mp4 to encode video.
What free apps that are on the market these days can encode to other
formats?
I noticed there are only two options .mp4 and h.263
Please advise!
Thank You,

A program called "Super" will convert almost anything to anything! well worth a look.
Yep Super is a good tool, but the website to download it can be a real pain.
Handbrake is great if you have a Mac.
This looks rather cool too: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/
On the flipside:
The Free version of Any Video Converter hass a nice beginners user friendly interface:
http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
Input formats:
avi, asf, mov, rm, rmvb
flv, mkv, mpg
3gp, m4v, and vob
Output formats:
avi, wmv, mp4, 3gp
wmv and flv
MPEG-1 and MPEG-2
mpg (PAL or NTSC)
yah you are correct about 'super' being a pain..took me about five minutes to scroll thru all that mumbo jumbo!
i will try both products super and any dvd to see if this does the quick job!
what format is better to use: mp4 or h.263?
thank you,
tvos
super didn't convert the mp4.. ran into problems with that application and the other couldn't read it.

I need to find a program that can recode from .avi to .mp4/.3gp , resize to 320x240 and embed subtitles in the video.
I have tried several with bad or no result. If you know of such a program I would be very happy to know.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112 << try this. not too sure on embedding subtitles. never use them so far.
If anyone interested the solution is:
PocketDivXEncoder: Resize & hard-code subtitle embed from .avi to .avi 320x240
Yamb: Transform file format from .avi to .mp4 without recoding.
hello,I suppose you can try AVI to 3GP Converter.

With this free MOV Movie Maker, you can add subtitles and watermarks, apply transitions, change the video image, as well as attach music and crop the video.

This is an old thread. Nowadays there are numerous of apps that can do this like ImToo, Xilisoft video converter and many more. Also AviRecomp is great if you only want to embed subs and/or resize.

But I did not understand if there is a software to convert an avi to an mp4 or other extension compatible with ALL Android device
Handbrake is a good program for converting video's
Re: AVI to MP4
Hi,
I think you can search the "AVI to MP4" keyword in google, then the best choice will appear in the first page normally.
Refer to video converters, I often use Kvisoft video to flash converter to do MP4 to FLV conversion, AVI to FLV conversion etc.
With the video conversion software, I can convert videos of any format to FLV flash videos in batches for better online sharing.
Good benefits of Kvisoft Video to Flash converter:
1. Convert Any Video to FLV and SWF
2. Edit Flash Video as you like:
Watermark video with text and image;
Merge various videos into one;
Crop video size;
Clip video into smaller parts;
Adjust the effect of video.
3. NO quantity limitation, so batch conversion is allowed.
I wanted to see how an HD movie plays on the G. I tired to play an Apple Quicktime HD Movie trailer and no go. I also tried to play an HD Trailer from Yahoo movies and no go, it said "download failed".
Can the rooted G with TNT 2.4 play HD Quicktime movies? What's the best way for me to test this out?
From what I have read, the g-tablet has some very specific requirements for viewing 1080p files. I know for a fact that it will play MP4 H.264 so I just encode everything to that with Total Video Converter.
I haven't tried to play a .mov yet on it. I have a couple that I downloaded from the web that I should try.
Edit:
Just tried a 1080p .mov that I downloaded from youtube. It plays in Rock Player with software decoding, but really bad.
I suggest downloading hd content to a computer and converting to mp4 h.264 because we know that is supported by the tegra hardware.
I am really disappointed with the quality of video playback on the G Tab. With everyone jiving about the great hardware specs, I don't see great video playback. Unless I don't have it maximized right.
I downloaded a couple of converters and converted movies from mov to mp4, avi, and wmv. I also used Roxio Creator 2009. Nothin greally plays all that great.
What am I missing?
The best converter for the g-tab, in my experience, is Handbrake. I use the built-in Regular-Normal profile and change h.264 to mpeg4 (because tegra 2 has issues with h.264) and it plays completely smoothly at 720p and 1080p.
It plays .mov containers - the Tron Legacy trailers come to mind.
It has some trouble with mkv's and mulitple audio tracks, and HiDef h264 videos that are encoded in "high profile". That's been my experience.

There's no video player (that I know of anyway) at the moment that is designed to take advantage of the tegra2 hardware. Once there is it will fly. The G Tab doesn't seem to support a lot of codecs as well.
I've had success playing 720p x264 MKV's up to 4GB with Rockplayer and ES Video Player.
Excellent. Thanks everyone for the input. I'll check some of these tonight.

Well that didn't take long: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881835 - Rockplayer 1.5.x (Tegra 2 optimisations)
Has anyone sucessfully played a 1080p video?
I have tried mpeg4, mkv and h.264 and they play but the sync is off and they are very choppy.
According to Nvidia's website the Tegra 2 is supposed to have an on-chip h.264 decoder and encoder on it. But nothing seem to take advantage of it. Even the new Rockplayer with the Tegra 2 Optimization.
If anyone can let me know how you encoded 1080p to play on your tab I would be greatful.
EDIT:
For anyone else looking, I got 1080p to work on mine with Rockplayer 1.51 and hardware decoding. I donwloaded a youtube/vevo 1080p video and ran it through Handbrake. Normal profile, MP4 container and MPEG encoding. It plays FULL 1080p very smooth that way.
Searching for player which playes mkv videos including its subtitles without converting it into some crap. Tried Rockplayer and mvideoplayer but without luck.
Any suggestions or advice ppl?
am using vitalplayer and it's quite good with my mkv files....though i haven't really tried on a movie with subtitles.

Only phones with native mkv video format support can play .mkv videos efficiently. So, forget about mkv, it doesn't matter which player you use. But anyway, the best video player for me is RockPlayer.
Try Vital player. It supports SMI and SRT subtitle files.
But i don't try mkv files. It should work coz rmvb works.
..
QQ Player works great on My HD2.
Vitalplayer works fine.
Mediacoder
I think the best method would to just burn the subtitles into the encoded video...
Furthermore, MKV container can support a lot of different video (most commonly h.264)...
either way, it would be beneficial to convert to h.264 video and aac audio in mp4 container... Then virtually all target devices can play the file. You'll run 720p that way a lot better too (480p ideally to save space)
So, if you have a nvidia card with PureVideo2 I definitely recommend this method...(or a decent cpu)
mediacoder has cuda encoder bundled with it to make quick work of video->mp4
Here are some of my settings that I use in Winmo, plays back flawlessly on android too.
Video:
Avg bitrate - 1200 (you can set it higher if you want... you'll just get a bigger file size with marginally better quality imo)
Format - h.264
Encoder - Cuda (NVidia cards) , ffmpeg (cpu encoding)
Audio:
Format - LC-AAC
Encoder - FAAC
Avg Bitrate - 128 MPEG4
Container - MP4 (select it in both audio and container tab)
Picture:
Resize - 800x480
Aspect Ratio - Set pixel AR, 1:1
Crop - Disabled
Subtitle
Renderer - Default
Scale, position, outline, blur) - adjust for subtitle appearance
ID - 0 to # (set according which subtitle you want to use from the source video
These are just some loose settings to get you into ballpark range...
make sure you preview before you encode a bunch of files and make sure it works on the device.
I also think there is a "portable device" edition of mediacoder
Sorry for the long post.
mobo player plays mkv with subs but it isnt the best. good enough for the meantime till i find something better.
I'm finding that I can't cast .avi files with Allcast. Will there's be any support? Mp4 files are tye only vireo types I see. Further more, I've tried a lot of other cast apps for .avi files on my android nexus 7 and they just give a black screen and broken audio. Anyone had any success? Do tell!
Thanks.

Most AVI files do not contain MPEG-4 video (AVI is a container like MKV and MOV), so they would require some kind of transcoding which is heavy for a mobile processor.
AVI is well known as a multimedia container format and still takes up a large proportion among the famous video formats just like MP4, MOV, and WMV today. Unfortunately, such a popular format is unsupported by Android Phones or Tablets so far. According to Android Official Website, only MP4, 3GP, MKV, WebM are the compatible formats with Android. Is it impossible to play AVI on Android? No, of course not. There is still a silver lining - convert AVI to Android supported formats for playback with Mod Edit: commercial software removed.
.avi hasn't historically hasnt been the go to format for high quality or HD sources with h.264 or h.265 encoding. Besides mp4, mkv supports this so look for this format to become the norm moving forward, .avi is a bit of a dying format.
Not casting from local media on the device, but Plex Media Server + Plex App handles transcoding and casting of my old collection of DivX and Xvid encoded .AVIs (hosted on the Media Server) with no issues. Still slowly running them through Handbrake to a Chromecast native format though.
Steaming AVI through Allcast
I am able to stream AVI file from Google Drive without a problem. Why not be able to do the exact same thing through Allcast?
avi does work with this encoding
I was messing with this yesterday, I couldnt get a film to cast, I tried solid explorer cast & all cast & video stream from my pc (last 1 loaded but was unwatchable). I dont have root on the chromecast. So I found 1 .avi film worked and 2 didnt. Upon inspection of encoding of the video and audio INSIDE the avi files, I found it only appears to support x264. Also framerate below 30, bitrate below 6000 makes it watchable (that might be because i have an older ovation tablet). As for audio I was using aac (any bitrate upto 256). Also I had it set on high quality video, which in anyvideoconverter means lower compression and larger file size. Once in that format, it would cast perfectly from any app, pc or mobile.
summery:
*.avi
x264 encoding
<6000 (and inc.) video bitrate
<30 fps
aac audio
<256 (and inc.) audio bitrate.
low compression
I have found a free app that lets me cast avi from my phone. Search play store for Megacast. It can bug sometimes, but in most of the cases does the job nicely.
