hi,
can i change the format of saving videos? which format is better in your opinion? 3gp, avi, divx .. ?
thanks
Which format really depends on what you want to record the videos for, i.e. playback on TV, playback on iPod, etc.
Current formats are MPEG4 and H.264 recording I believe. MPEG4, H.263, H.264, DivX, XviD, WMV for playback.
This is what's in the specs, but I haven't checked them all.
Use handbreak to convert it. It is an excellent app for mac and windows.

Just a quick question, I have several movies I have downloaded that are in the format of .flv , is the Archos 101 able to view these out of the box or do I need to download a plug-in or can I convert the .flv files to a different format?
You need the plug in
From the Archos site:
With optional plug-in (downloadable on www.archos.com): • Cinema: MPEG-2 (up to DVD resolution MP/D1, 30 [email protected] Mbps) With the above codecs, the device can play video files with the following extensions: AVI, MP4, MKV MOV, WMV, MPG, PS, TS, VOB, FLV, RM, RMVB, ASF, 3GP

Try to play them first. I was able to watch all my FLVs without buying the plugin.

Try first!
Do you have firmware 2.3.26? If yes you dont need the CP
And if not, try VitalPlayer Neon, that plays nearly everything.
I recently received an invite for playon later. It allows you to download tv shows and watch them later. I want to put these videos on my 10.1 but the files are a .plv which I had not heard of. Anyone know how to convert these or get them to play on my Tab?
I'm with you
Just signed up myself for playon Later. Since I went full time with Netflix I cannot get movies though Playon. I hear it has something to do the the app since other resources through playon work fine.
Anyway. the .plv opens in windows media player and I'm attempting to use one of my converter programs to convert the file. So far, the files cannot be open even after changing the extension to .wmv.
I know a professional PLV Converter and PLV Player. It can help convert PLV files to AVI, MP4, WMV, FLV, 3GP, MOV, FLV, VOB, MKV and other video formats. The nice PLV Converter can also convert PLV to MP3, WAV, WMV, FLAC, M4A, OGG, AU, AAC, AC3, AIFF and more audio formats. In addition, it can convert among more than 160 video and audio formats with HD even 4K video quality and fast speed. The PLV conversion software is also a nice video editor for you to merge, trim, crop PLV videos, rotate PLV files, add/remove watermark/subtitles, adjust audio channels, increase video and audio volumes and more.
Find it by google search "How to Convert PLV to AVI, MP4, MP3, 3GP, FLV, WMV for Playing with PLV Converter and FLV Player?".
.plv files are from a platform game Prince of Persia and are regarded as a great leap forward in the quality of animation. Sometimes PLV files can also standard for Digital Foto Maker File.
PLV files are not widely supported by modern devices. You need to convert PLV files to common formats with a professional PLV Converting Tool.
You may use Cicever PLV Converter. It can solve your PLV file trouble easily.
Hi,
I wanted to play a video recorded by SGS2 in .mp4 format, but it looks like nothing out there can support it. It plays without any problems on the phone, but VLC, WMP and even WinAmp can't recognize the codec used. My question is - what is the video codec and is there anything that can play/convert it?
The *.MP4 file is a wrapper that binds both the video and audio + subtitles file.
Depending on the resolution, it can also be a *.3GP file.
*.MP4 usually uses H.264 video compression and AAC for audio format.
*.3GP stores video streams of H.263 or AVC/H.264 format, and AMR audio format.
In Windows 7, H.264 is supported without requiring to install any codecs.
3GP however is not supported in Windows 7.
If you are using Windows XP, you not only need the H.264 codec, you also need a MP4 splitter. As for 3GP, you need a codec for that as well.
Haali Media Splitter is useful for both MP4 and MKV files as a splitter.
FFDShow is a great all in one codec package for H.264, x.264, H.263.

Video codec: H264 MPEG4 (AVC)
Audio codec: MPEG AAC (mp4a)
I have no problem to play my mp4 files recorded by using my SGS2 with VLC.
Maybe you should check for an update of your VLC media player.

I would like to know what others are doing as far as encoding video to play on the Nook Tablet. The consensus seems to be the H264 encoding for video? What file format, m4v, mkv?? Does it make a difference? What about audio?
I have heard discussion about HW versus SW playback, what does this mean?
What resolution do you keep your videos in? How large should I expect the average full length movie to be?
usually 720 since they're smaller
2.5gb and mp4 or mkv
using mxvideo
sw btw for mkv and hw for mx vid
hd movies will be about 2-2.5gig
normal dvd's will be ~700meg-2gig(avatar) for h.264 format mp4/mkv

huh? Sorry, still don't get it.
Most videos play fine without converting for me. I just drop it in the tablet and use MX Player.
Also, .mkv is not a video format but a container.
Does anyone know what codecs and audio bitrates are supported by this device?
I'm having a heck of a time getting some videos to have sound whatsoever. I continue to re-encode the audio but still haven't gotten sound.
I know that it supports lots of containers (AVI, MKV, MP4, etc.), but I cannot find specifics on what video codecs and audio codecs/bit-rates are supported for playback.
Any input is appreciated.
I copy directly from the Prime Manual.

Each player also uses their own codec, that's the thing about Android.
You can also contact the player maker, and let them know of your problem and ask them for implmenting codec or other.
With Mx video player you can set it up to play audio via software while the video plays through hardware. You should rarely ever need to encode when using that player.
Do your videos have sound when played back on the PC?
I guess to MX video player it is very good.
