so which one os baseline among these two?
Total video converter convert video in baseline until u select Hd convert so select any profile.actually high profile refer to hd video and now days every video and movie have high profile that whay it is not play in over ph and we need to convert in baseline profile.

i tried both options still can't get them work smoothly
btw is there any other good converter which can convert 480p video in desired format,so that i can run it on O1?
I am using Handbrake.
1. Load the video file that you want to convert.
2. Select the "iPhone Legacy" profile, this will load the needed settings. It's the most compatible with our phone mp4 format from the list, but needs some tweaks:
- go to the "Picture" tab and adjust the resolution to the desired values;
- go to the "Video" tab and adjust the video bitrate. For 480x320 (full screen landscape) with H.264 you can go as low as ~750kbps ans still have crystal clear image.
- go to "Audio" tab and change Mixdown to stereo; keep the AAC audio codec, for some strange reason the mp3 codec doesn't work. AAC is better anyway.
- (optional) go to "Chapters" tab and uncheck Create chapter markers
- do not change any settings under "Advanced" tab.
3. When you're done, you can save this custom profile so that you won't have to make all the changes next time you use the encoder: use the "Add" button on the lower right.
4. Start encoding.

That might be true for you.
I wouldn't recommend a solution I haven't tried myself and know for a fact that it works. Also I wouldn't waste time explaining step by step how to... fail.
If at the end the result is a clip that freezes or stutters, then the problem lies somewhere else: OS, kernel, player.

the phone does not play x264 by default.
on default player it does not even play divx above 360p
and all this happens on official ROM v10e
with mobo player hardware decode, it can play divx upto 480p
x264 only works in software decode mode.

The built in video app works fine for me, but I prefer RockPlayer.
The built in player also works fine for me. But it really only supports MP4 video files, if I understand correctly. I use Handbrake and the iPod Touch preset to encode for my Nook.
That said, I actually use Act 1 Video Player because it has the nicest 'library' view that groups by folder.
I use yxplayer, no need to encode... plays avi files like a charm.
The built-in player outperforms RockPlayer, which has some audio sync issues.
I use the iPod Touch preset in Handbrake, but I bump the resolution up to 720 x ???, turn off Anamorphic, and set a constant video bitrate of 800kbps and an audio bitrate of 80kbps.
Works well for me. Speed Racer looks gorgeous on this screen.
from my very very few experiments, i concluded that once videos are converted to mp4 (h.264 / AAC) any player is the same (uses the hardware decoding).
with videos in different formats its likely that there will be problems
i agree with nooter on using handbrake's iphone preset modifying the bitrate setting it around 800kbps (for animated movies it can be lower 600kbps should be ok). About altering the size of the movie, only for reducing it (remember the max lines in landscape is 600)
rock player works if u have the latest universal player but you need to install add block because even if you pay for it you cannot activate it
I've found that all the players avail still play back xvid/divx avi's really choppy, going to have to give handbrake a try to take advantage of the hardware decoder...
I was just able to install vplayer from the market (a few days ago it wouldn't install)... some audio sync issues but there are some cache parameters to tweak... anybody had any luck?

Same experience with playing divx/xvid files, choppy sound and 21-24fps video playback. Take that same video and run it through handbrake to convert to .mp4 and it runs great.
Where is the built in video player located? I cannot seem to find it anywhere..
I agreed with vplayer beta from the market place. It's free. It'll play most video formats. I've tested 480p and 720p mkv and both play with high speed setting. 720p mkv video is slow but 480p play fine. It's great with cifsmanager and mounted shared videos.

So, what filetype does that create? What is the Extension? MP4 or M4V? Also, are there any other settings, other than the ones listed above that you use?
I am asking these questions because I am having issues with movies encoded this way playing in the default player. It doesn't recognize the video, so it will not play.
Also, VPlayer plays them, but there is a definite audio lag once you forward to about mid-movie.
Also, as an aside, I am converting ISO files (Direct DVD rips) using HandBrake. That is how I am generating these files. I do change the extension to mp4 from handbrakes default (m4v i think).
Thanks for any help.

There is no shortcut in the App drawer (or Gallery) for the stock video player....I just click the video file (in whatever file manager you use or the Nook Library My Files tab).
Personally I use Act 1 Video player as it will present a list of videos on the SD card and Nook. Although for some reason it list videos on the Nook twice.
Sent from my Nooxus One using Tapatalk
The Act 1 app seems to be the only one that can properly sort videos. I tried the trial version, and it seems to work great, but as intuitive as the in-video touch areas may seem, I just can't get my brain dialed in to use them in practice. I think the built-in NC player works just fine, it's the video file/folder sorting that's nearly impossible to navigate once you have 20 or 30 vids on there along with a few thousand photos.
The media sorting options on Android are surprising lacking, or I just can't seem to find methods to deal with 32 gigabytes of media on this device.
I just did a bunch of conversions from some 720p MKV's. I converted them using Xilisoft video converter.
The settings I used were:
720x420
800k bitrate
44.1khz 128kbps audio
H.264 codec MP4 extension
Plays flawlessly with Rockplayer. No desync on fastforward.
The Built in player IS the best
After many attempts and reboots, I have determined that the Built-in Media player is the best player for videos encoded as specified earlier in this thread...
I tried Rock, and VPlayer beta, but both had very bad audio sync issues.
The Built-in player played all my encoded videos flawlessly. The wife LOVED watching Salt on the Nook during our road-trip. The only downside is the audio on the nook--hardly any volume. Easily solved by a good set of earphones. We are very pleased with the nook.

Check out mVideoPlayer. I haven't tried it on the Nook, but its perfect on my Galaxy S phone.
As for encoding, go with handbrake. Choose the Apple TV preset. Set resolution to custom and width to 800 (handbrake should automatically choose the correct height based on asperity ratio of source material). Set the video quality to constant at 60% (70% is the max you want for HDTV). Under audio, select the appropriate track and select aac with Prologic II or stereo as the encoding. Use the MP4 extension as to avoid issues with different t players.
You can get way more detailed on settings beyond that. It just depends on the material and the playback device. Those settings should get you outstanding video on the Nook. May have to scale back a little if the video is choppy.

After much trial and error, I have to agree with previous poster who said the best player is the built-in player with mp4 files created with the settings mentioned. The other players all had issues with controls and added nothing if the file was formatted as described.
I also had a lot of trouble getting any player to play any file at first. I think installing some of the other players added some necessary codecs. Then after a reboot, everything started to work. Hope that helps someone else avoid some frustration.
Despite a few trials like this, I love this tablet! Thank you xda devs!
Sent from my rooted Nook Color using XDA App
I'm running the free version of Rock Player. It's not exactly the cheapest app out there on the Android market, but if it works well, not a big deal.
Whenever I choose an mp4 video that I've encoded at 848x360, for example, Rock Player seems to default the widescreen video to this resolution, assuming the Nook Color scaled resolution is 1024x600, which means that a high quality widescreen rip at the smaller resolution will default launch with black bars around all 4 edges.
I noticed that the video display resizing has 3 modes,
(1) the default mode as mentioned above
(2) zoomed mode which fills the whole screen, stretching as required
(3) scaled mode which allows the widescreen video to stretch to the left and right edges properly, while maintaining a proper aspect ratio.
So the simple question is, how do I configure Rock Player to default launch video files in the mode (3) mentioned above?
Can someone suggest good video encoder settings for Mini pro??
crop/resize to 320x240
video: x264 Level 3 Baseline profile --crf 20.0
audio: AAC 128kbit 2ch stereo
MP4 container
I think, this is best settings for x10 mini and its working with default video player
i use meninx encoder to encode video files...the only thing is that i have not been very successful in running my encoded videos on my mob using x264 encoder
which software do u use user35 ??
I use MeGUI

got this one
it is best so far it converts almost every format to Mp4 and you can change the quality from low, normal, to high
and its FREE
DVDVideoSoft
or
or you can use LG camera (free) from android market and encode directly in mp4 / don t use resolutions what are not recomended, the apps will crush.
As you know our phone isn't really equipped to play most videos we throw at it, so what video bitrate/resolution/framerate have you found to work the best on the Optimus one?
And please mention which software you use to convert.
THIS IS IT....
xvid codec 640*360 max with ~1Mbps and mp3/aac audio are played without conversion...(your Sitcom episodes)...
Havent TRIED h264 or DIVx playback ...on the box though it does say DIVX resolution upto 320*240..
files with ogg video(theora) and ac3 audio dont play without conversion
No 720p,1080p/i playback possible...FOR ALL HIGHER resolutions/bitrate u need to convert ..i have a personal converter favourite....hassle free and its just a GUI for the wonderful FFMPEG program...herehttp://miksoft.net
Really? Mine struggles to play 624x352 24fps .mkv files. Unwatchable.
Which video player do you use on your phone?
I use Handbrake for all my videos. Starting from the "iPhone Legacy" profile, here are the settings I use to create H.264 files:
- Video: 480 x 320, H.264 (x264) codec, 768 Kbps bitrate, FPS same as source
- Audio: AAC (faac), stereo, 44.1 KHz, 128 kbps bitrate.
Image and sound are crystal clear, but of course, you can find your own favorite settings (just don't mess with the advanced settings, our CPU only handles the basic H.264 profile).
I use RockPlayer (the free version) for playback, because it can render .srt subtitles.

Download a RockPlayer
And still use Format Factory and select the format MP4. Settings are set up as in the screenshot.

video codec- u can either use H264 or H263
frame size--320*240
frame rate-24 to 30
bit rate--400, increasing it will increase quality as well as file size
File type- WMV, 3Gp or MP4
Audio
frequency--44000Hz
bit rate- 128kbps

or you can just use Handbrake (google it) and use the settings for the iPod Touch.
MediaGo
you can also use MediaGo, launched from PC Companion, to import video clips from pc to your phone. However, I found that it will create a different folder for music/video you import, instead of the normal folder you are already using.
i have found that it can play 640x480 resol. mp4 videos smoothly..by default...use hand brake to convert it or u cn use winavi ipod mp4 converter.....suite urself..nd for avi files rockplayer cn play all resolutions of avi smoothly....unless u r using a custom rom...in which it might crash sometimes....and as far as flv files are concerned they r restricted to a resolution of 320x240 only, beyond it the player would lag......
or use MoboPlayer (free in market).
operate various types, including flv, avi and mkv with subtitles.

Your best bet at encoding for the gTab is here http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/download/FreeVideoToAndroidConverter.exe and it's free. When installing, pick custom install & uncheck ask homepage & toolbar (unless you really want those). The Free Video to Android Converter has a built in preset for the gTab and has 3 quality settings (Economy(.75Mbps), Standard (1.5Mbps)& High(2.5Mbps) and encodes in .mp4 format @ 1024x600 resolution. It also has profiles for other Android devices & you can create custom profiles that convert to other formats, quality & resolutions.

I'm running Calkulin+Clensyn Combo v6 (Froyo).
Video from my wife's Flip HD (1280720) converted runs great at 2.5Mbps.
I've converted DVDs @1.5Mbps (not using the free android converter since it doesn't do DVDs, but a separate free DVD convertor that you can get from DVDVideosoft.com) and they they look/play great. Converted DVDs look good in Rockplayer using software decoding but look a little better using hardware decoding.
Don't have any recordings to test @ 2.5 right now, but I'm converting a DVD to test now @ 2.5Mbps. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Encoded Soul Surfer @ 720x400, 2.5Mbps. Rockplayer plays it fine with hardware decoding but it won't play on software decoding.
So, you should be able to encode with the standard gTab profile (1024x600, 1.5Mbps) and play fine.
I finished converting and watched the movie! It makes the original .mp4 look way better. Thanks
Basic Profile
The key to avc h264 playback is to use BASIC profile. You can jack up the bitrate really high and it still works. Main profile with a low bitrate will also work, and high profile will never work. I would say just use a basic profile and jack up the bitrate for guaranteed quality and compatibility.

This is true on 3.3BL1.2Beta for me also. But the SW decode seems to be a smooth playback for me. I believe HA isn't working yet with this ROM, or Adobe flash with certain apps & browsers either. For now I'm accepting that as this ROM is running smooth for me with little but acceptable glitches for a Beta.
MX is a good player though.
