I am currently using Handbrake to convert my videos to Andorid High and lets say the quality is not that great compared the the original MKV file. Does anyone know any particular settings? Or an alternative software?
Thanks
I Suggest Xmediarecode! I get really good looking results with it, but it takes some time if you want really high quality videos. It also gets updates about every 3rd week, i think handbrake is dead or something.

Because my movie is about 8gb and it wont let me transfer it as its too big. Sony have locked it so you can transfer a file greater than some amount.

It's about the sd card fat32 partion that only allows 4gb file size max.

What format have you encoded THAT to? Sounds far too large a file for even an HD video. And ... as another has said, that 'lock' isn't Sony, it's the format of FAT-32.
I use Miro and Handbrake to convert. Handbrake is the more flexible software (the new version [0.9.6] has an 'Android High' setting that should serve most people).

Anyone happen to know what the bitrate/settings are of the preloaded Avatar movie? I'm trying to convert my bluray 720p down to a 480x800 friendly size, but it keeps looking like crap. Or, it'll look great, but end up being about 3.5gbs. I played with a Vibrant at the T-Mobile store and the copy of Avatar was crystal clear.
I gave up and ordered a 16gb class 6 micro sd card. Problem solved!
Though, if anyone does happen to find out the details, I'd still love to know.

What are you using to encode? I personally use RipBot with a variable bitrate. I set the encoder to mp4/avc (h.264), res to 800x480,and the average bitrate to 1500. These videos have looked excellent for me and should be more than enough.

Awesome, I'll try it out. I'm using Any Video Converter free.
Xilisoft Video Converter has been good to me over the past two or three years. It converted from DVD to a format my iPhone would read. Now all the movies I buy mostly have a digital copy so I don't use the software as much any more. My Vibrant plays back everything (MP4/DivX/WMV/H.264/H.263)that plays on the iPhone so no need to convert either.

You can't use the digital that comes with it. Its meant for iDevices or Windows media devices. I just use Handbreak to convert my videos and use a custom preset with the resolution of the phone and an average bitrate of 1200 and its good.

I hope when you say resolution of the phone you mean 1280X720, because there is no reason to go any lower unless the original file was not HD.

When I say the resolution of the phone, I meant 480 x 800. Unless your gonna output to the TV via DLNA or a Micro USB to HDMI cable, there is no point to have a 720p.
As of right now I found no way to look at the stats for the avatar movie since its a protected file...except that it is around 1gb in size, so by that I'm assuming the bitrate is anywhere from 1500-2000 if that helps...and the size must just be the size of the phone 800x480

I recoded a 4.13gb HD movie down to 2200 bitrate and it turned out 1.52gb... that was 1280x720 though. Avatar is (or should be) 800x480 so it may have a slightly higher bitrate... avatar.dcf is 1.40gb.
The included trailer is encoded at 1300ish kbits so its safe to assume that Avatar is also encoded at this rate.

I agree. I can drop the bitrate to well under 1000 for a basic DVD rip and it still looks great.
Hm, that could be it. I'll double check.
Update: Yeah, I setup RipBot correctly this time and it came out perfect. Bitrate's about 1350kbps @23fps. 800x450. 1.6gb. I don't think I had the h264 mp4 option selected at the bottom the first time.

Hello fellow Android Bros/ Sis!
I was searching through google and XDA and found myself here. I was really interested in the outcome of your video. My question is:
1) Was this video a conversion from a Blu Ray movie or a regular HD movie/ file?
2) What were your Audio Output settings?
Short History: I have both the Captivate and the Vibrant, and wanted to see if i could just use my Blu Ray Movie of Avatar to Rip and Convert for the Captivate since my Vibrant already has it. Plus i also wanted to be more familiar with Handbrake myself (have converted dozens of HD movies so far), but Blu Ray is an issue for me. As far as video, i can transcode no problem. Audio on the other hand, is either slow-distorted-muffled or no sound at all. Regardless of which audio codec i tried.
Thoughts?
WHAT UP, NICE avtar, HOW DID U PUT G.O.W IN YOUR PROFILE?
Avc is a horrible encoder. I had a crystal clear 1.5gig avatar file in aweird format that avc'ed and it came out with 200 megs in the ****tiest quality ever.

You need to use KIES. It'll chop up the file into two parts automatically when you move it over.

So I did use KIES to move it over, first used the "transfer to device" option in the KIES library, then instead used the "sync" option in the connected device panel, both will only give me half of the mkv file, instead of two cut parts, so could you explain a bit more in detail? Thanks
Why do you want to put a 1080p movie on your phone? You realise the res of the screen isn't even 720p? Just convert it down to 720p and you wont even notice a difference.
There's a huge difference between SD and 720p though obviously. 720p to 1080p is largely unnoticeable on the phone though and just a waste of space.

yeah you have a point, but sometimes 720p movies do come with a size bigger than 4GB as well, then someway of proper transfer is still needed...
Honestly I'd say if you're going to convert the video anyway, why not convert it to the screens native resolution. Same quality, less processor usage so better battery life, and then you don't need to split the file (since i dont think any 800*480 resolution video file should reasonably surpass 4gb )

Anyway you can use "mkvtoolnix" or any other similar program to split the mkv video and then put in the phone.

Hey guys, Currently upgraded to a HTC Titan and im wanting to put some of my DVD's ive backed up on my HDD onto my titan.
Ive saved most of my 720p movies as AVI / AVCHD as my PC is also my media centre using XBMC and obviously Zune doesnt recognise them. What im wondering is the best Encoder to transform these into mp4 to play. And what settings i should use to get the most from the movies. Iv'e read i can use Windows Movie Maker to do this. There are 4 main options.
Save as
Windows Phone (large)
Windows Phone (small)
Zune HD
Zune Small
Im a bit torn between which setting, as i want to keep them as HD as possible. I would of thought Windows Phone large, But will this still be 720p? And the Zune HD says 720p but this has a 3.2inch screen doesnt it? Im clueless on this atm. Any advice is brilliant.
NOTE: No files are Warez, they are backups from original Bluray Discs and DVD's. This is mainly to take to bed with me at nights or on the train so i can keep occupied.

Why even convert? Just drag and drop on your phone using Zune. And let Zune do the work. It will convert to the best for the phone, which is always good as crap in my opinion. Plus it saves you the process of encoding.
Zune takes forever to convert stuff for me.

Can anyone provide the best Handbrake settings for ripping DVDs?
I'm interested in opinions as well on this matter.
-
Back when I had my Captivate I used these settings:
http://capfaq.com/w/Transferring_movies_from_DVD
I put these movies on my Note and they're all still excellent quality. I was assuming that the quality my suffer due to the Note's large size, but it's still great. And with these settings, I'd say about 75% of the movies I encoded were less than a gig and most less than 900MB.
Am I missing something? What does this have to do with the Note?
The note...being sent down to us by the gods (why...what gods you ask? Ill tell ya...the AMOLED gods, the robot gods, and the HD gods...and they frown on crabbiness.) and being so well endowed, is quite the media consumption device. What the OP was trying to figure out...was how he might best take advantage of such a wondrous and surely godly device.
And the movie industry...being ungodly as they are, makes an all-hands-on-deck effort to obfuscate and obscure any clearly delineated path to enjoying popcorn-tasting-finger-licking-goodness on the go. For this is their only purpose in life..besides, making movies, of course.
I might add...high profile is. Lovely. On the same subject... I've only used CIFSManger and allshare in combination with TVersity to play media...i use Netflix on the go. But Im curious as well...does anyone know which format and container is required to play native HW decoded video on the note? Does the container event matter? I know i can usually find a video player that can play any video file, but i have issues with .Mkv the most...and the pseudo-5.1 audio and the native player is nice....real nice.....really really niiiiiiiiiiiiiccccccccceeeeeee.
HW decoding is always a plus. And its easier on the battery too.

I was just wondering if anyone had encoded any of their DVDs to play on the Note. I've used Handbrake previously to watch movies on my Captivate and thought someone might have played around enough to have optimal settings for the Note. Using the settings I had for my Captivate, the picture/sound quality is pretty great on the Note.
I use MakeMKV for both blu rays and dvds. (correct me if im wrong) as far as i know, it's like flac. Compresses the video with no loss of quality in both video and audio.

I doubt you will be able to get NTFS to be recognized by Android. Maybe try EXT3. Then the hard part is getting Win 7 to recognize the EXT3. Should work in a VM or possibly with ext2fsd (maybe install and run in XP mode)?

why dont u stick the microSD to ur RAZR, and as long as the RAZR recognizes it, plug ur phone to ur Windows PC USB, select "USB Mass Storage", and drag-n-drop.

5GB is WAY too big for a movie, period. I have 2 TB of full length feature films and NONE of them are over 2GB in size and I watch them on a 60" LED TV.
So you need to re-encode that movie and any other movie you have to something more "NORMAL" for your intentions.
use a program called HandBrake, encode to .Mp4. If you're not familiar with this area of expertise I go read up on it.
another poster was right, FAT32 is 4GB limit. You can't format a MicroSD to NTFS.
Regardless, no video should be 5GB, unless you've combined all three Lord Of The Rings movies into one long 9 hour film, into one AVI container.. lol who would do that? >.>

I disagree. I have 2TB loaded up with Blu-Ray Rips (that I share on my network using PS3 Media Server). I rip then re-encode them to x264, 1080p, keep original frame rate, AC3 5.1 audio, in a MKV container. My file sizes are 8gb (so I can fit them on a dual-layer dvd that can be played and saved on a PS3). I found this to be the best final result. I have used Handbrake but I found better results with XVID4PSP.
If you can't see a difference between your rips and an original blu-ray then that's great for you but I'm sure most people would see a huge difference. There's no way to compress a movie that is 30gb in size to something smaller than 5gb without a huge drop in quality.

Some people don't want to reduce the quality by recompressing, or spend the time doing it. Storage is cheap, at least to me. Period. Exclamation point.

First if all this is a waste of time. There is no reason to play this file on your phone. Code the file in the resolution of the qhd display. You are not losing anything in the quality of the movie when it is displayed on your razr.

Bummer, think I remembered wrong, its only supported on android tablets.
Think there is a thread though to make it supported somewhere on XDA....
Anyways, if you want to watch it on your phone then rather re-code...but if you wanna movies on TV through an HDMI cable...its gonna be tough with fat32
I tried exFat with ICS on the Razr and it still doesn't natively support it. Shows the Damaged SD Card and prompts to format.
Bringing this back from the dead, did anyone find a work-around here? The 4GB file size limit is a bit of a pain for those of us doing 1080p rips to display via the HDMI out. I could put these files on the Nexus no problem, and this may be an area where Razr loses out big time.

I thought the razr HDMI out only supported 720p res, so While I agree with the concept (as I have several 1080p rips around 8 gigs myself) 1080 is simply more then the phone will output thru the HDMI.
I understand the problem, but I'm still a bit unsure as to *why* it's a problem. Why on Earth are you using your phone to output 1080p files to your TV? You spent $200-$600 on a phone to do something like this when you could spend under $100 to get a device that does it better, easier, and more effectively?
Get a cheap Roku or WD Live player. Hell, get an AppleTV and enjoy it. There's no way around the FAT32 limitation (none...at all), so look for another solution.
how about trying wireless transfer over wifi? (dunno if the 4gb limit still applies..) or perhaps a better way would be to try a file splitter n split it into half n once both parts have been transferred to memory card to join them back again??
hope it helps!!
I saw somewhere in RAZR forum ntfs.ko module to mount NTFS partition, I'm not sure if it's working with SD-CARD. It's compiled for 2.3.6 so I'm also not sure if it's work with ICS.
Just search for ntfs.ko
