Hi
Soon i will get 32GB sd card so i want to have some HQ movies .
I was able to test best video settings for this phone
well size is 800x480, data rate is 4000K ( using that data rate all pixels will be clear,it's best to test it on HD animation ( like South Park )
but if i try to convert whole film like 2GB output, i get notification that i can't watch this.
but why ? i am using right format, not high frame , right size..
Maybe player have some size limitations ?
just a wild guess, maybe it's about fat32, it doesn't recognize files bigger than 4 gigs?
NO, output file is about 2,6GB.
Hm, mp4 doesn't work, but wmv works quite well
Try mp4 files encoded with H.264 video and AAC or mp3 audio at a bitrate big enough,just so that file size doesn't exceed 4 gigs.I think it should be okay.If it doesn't work try another player like mVideoPlayer or Meridian.

well, i was using right codec (H.264).
My bet is that file can't go up 2GB, because wmv was 1,8GB in size and it was working. also mp4 was working in split mode (like 100MB for part)
Hello everyone,
I just got a MHL adapter and I'm trying to move some 4gb+ 720p mkv movie files so i can watch it in the big screen.
However, when i tried to move them on the sd card or internal storage, it says it can't do it.
Now the filesystem on the sd card is fat32 and i know there's some kind of limitation. What would you guys do? Maybe I can reformat the microsd card to another system like NTSF or EXFAT?
Thanks Guys

yes, ntsf is going to be your best bet for gettin 4gb+ files on it, saw this same quandary over on the ASUS transformer prime forums. i heard exfat wasnt working, but that may just be on the tablet, idk. just passing along the knowledge!
You could always try formatting the card as either NTFS or exFAT, either one supports file sizes of 4gb+
Barring that, you might be able to make use of a DLNA app (AllShare maybe) to stream it over your network to your phone

just did some quick googling and people say android won't recognize your sdcard once you format it as NTFS.
I think the only thing you can do is split the video into two parts and then play

NTFS doesn't work, our device only recognizes fat32. The file size limit is approx 4.1 gb for the E4GT so I just take the .mkv file and reconvert it if it exceeds. Use AVS Video Converter or Freemake Video Converter. You won't notice the difference if you compress the file a little unless your bit rate is too low. Converting to .avi/divx/mp4 while keeping the bit rate around 3000kbps and min frame rate @23fps still looks amazing on our device, and most of the time you're still retaining a 720p image(depending on the tweeks). Hope this helps!
Doesn't seem to work. Over 2.5 GB'ish video files won't be able to play completely through. It will freeze after about the 10 minute mark or so into the video.

On stock video player? File possibly corrupt, did you convert the file yourself? I've had no problems playing avi/divx/mkv/mpeg...

On stock player, mx video player, and moboplayer. File is not corrupt as it will play through my WDTV media player. I have gotten files that are 2.2 GB to play all the way through but not those over 2.5 GB.

I'm looking to watch the movies the HDTV not the phone.
Do you think converting the files will have the same quality when watching on the HDTV?

Only if your resolution closely matches that of your tv. Too small of a res will make your set expand the picture.

Have you tried different cables? (when transferring from computer to phone) The one shipped with our device should realistically be used for charging only, not good for data transfer.

I personally use multiavchd for everything blu-ray. its the best software i have used for hd content. i have 8 tb of blu-ray movies, so i have had experience. You can set file limit for when to split. I would set limit at 4.0 gigs so that once it hits it splits the file, then i can burn to 2 regular dvds instead of a dvd9.
Hi guys
I've quite a lot of mkv videos, and I'd like to convert them into avi I can watch on my N2, possibly reducing their size a little bit, but I'm not sure how far I can go without deteriorating the quality of said video. So, here's the question: has anybody figured out yet the best ffmpeg parameters to convert a video for the Note 2 without quality loss? Or, as an alternative, any suggestion on a good video converter with proper settings for the Note 2?
Thanks a lot
You don't need to convert anything on Note2 it has one of the best hw decoders available.
If you have a file that can't be played by native video player just install BSPlayer or MxPlayer.
But the problem is with the files size, not the player.
How much we can shrink mkv's without quality loss, and what software use for that. That's the question I think.
Am I right?

The conversion has a double porpuse :
1) Make the files easier to read for the Note 2 : I tried to play a couple of .mkv files with VLC and a 4-5 of times each, for 2-3 seconds, the image was quite bad ( huge pixels in some random position of the screen), while I had no such a problem playing them on a computer
2) Make video files smaller : I know that most people has a 64GB microSD that partially solves the problem, but I travel quite a lot, and while on the train I really like watching movies. If each movie is 2-3 GB, I can't bring many with me Plus, I'm quite sure that a 720p movie is an overkill on the Note 2 : you only need to have as many pixels per frame as the Note 2 screen has. Every detail over that is just a waste of precious microSD space
So, back IT ... has anybody found the perfect conversion parameters?
+ MxPlayer
Don't use the ffmpeg after got the aneesoft, it works fine for me on almost videos conversion.

I use handbrake. It's free and has presets and works very well under 64bit.

mmm... Why are you suggesting against ffmpeg? I'm kind of a command line lover, and ffmpeg has been for me the fastest converter I've tested so far ... Plus, a lot of other converters ( just like HandBrake, the one suggested the post above this one ) uses it
PS: I'll try handbrake , thanks
PPS: On handbrake, "Android High" is the preset to use to get the best results for Note 2?
I'm using "Any Video Converter" to convert my mkv's, but you don't have to.
The settings I usually use are:
Video Codec: x264
Bitrate: 1000 (You can play a bit with this one to greatly reduce the size but be careful because you'll get pixelated video)
Video Framerate (you've got to be careful here, keep original framerate to avoid frame stutter.)
Frame size: 1280x720
Audio bitrate: 128
Sample rate: 44100
Here are some comparisons:
Original mkv:
size - 331 MB
Converted to mp4:
Bitrate: 2500
size - 461 MB
Bitrate: 1000
Size - 198 MB
Bitrate: 256
Size - 66.9MB

Thanks, I'll try this one out too. I've played a bit with the other suggested converter, HandBrake, but it has so many option that a video/audio noob like me feels completly lost. It would be great if it had a preset just for the Note 2, but I guess that's too much to ask
Anyway, I'll see how AVC works. Thanks for your suggestion !

Using the preset for a device with a different screen size and resolution wouldn't mess up the video quality?
Has anyone tried a true 720p60 (with high-motion) video playing back on the Note 2? I'm curious if this can be handled. Likewise with 1080i playing back with high-motion intact as opposed to being deinterlaced with some method that throws away half the temporal resolution. Any info would be appreciated.
For that matter, has anyone tried a straight-up Blu-ray rip of any kind (1080p24 or otherwise) that has not been reencoded but maybe just remuxed to MKV or similar?

Why did you reencode to a much larger file-size here?
I have a GN-7100 international GN2. Running JB 4.1.1 I could copy .mkv files from my PC to the GN2 SD card and play them with MX Player Pro. There would be a warning that .mkv was not compatible and the device might not play them, but the files always copied and played. Yesterday I upgraded to JB 4.1.2 and now the same warning comes up when I try to copy and when I tell it to proceed it starts to copy and then refuses to continue. When I look at the GN2 video directories on my PC the folder are there but the contents show as empty and the .mkv files are not visible. Using the GN2 file explorer the contents are visible and MX Player Pro plays the files just fine.
Other forums say the files need to be converted, using proprietary and expensive video converters, from .mkv to mp4, because the GN2 will not recognise .mkv. My experience is that the device will play them once they are copied to it. Today I removed the SD card from the device, copied the .mkv files to it from the PC, reinserted the card in the phone and the files are seen and played from the SD card using MX Player Pro.
So my question is: does anyone know how to get .mkv files to copy from a PC to the GN2 with the SD card installed and for the files to be seen on the PC? I guess having to remove the SD card to copy files to it is cheaper and less pain than having to convert them first, but it would be nice to be able to do it without any hassle.

Are you transferring through KIES? If yes then try to transfer just by copying and pasting in the memory card folder directly.

No, I removed KIES in case it was part of the problem. There must be something in the Samsung usb drivers or JB 4.1.2 that prevents the PC from seeing the files. It occurs to me that downloading directly to the phone may solve the problem, but it would be good to be able to just copy and paste without removing the SD card from the phone.

Is there a way to properly play this type of videos on Android, furthermore our Nexus 7? The video is 1.7GB heavy, when playing in MX Player, it lags, VPlayer crashes, VLC lags as well. I'm thinking it may be too heavy. Is there a player, kernel, kernel with OC which could help here?
Thank you!
Btw, to convert it is too much, just so happens my external HDD is full of videos encoded this way. Playing it directly from HDD (mounted with OTG and StickMount) and playing a copy on device's memory gives the same result.

Have you tried Diceplayer with the tegra 2 plugin?
Free from Google Play.
I have had it running a few decent sized mkv's and avi's with no problem, and at the end of the day its a free app so nowt lost in trying it.
I just download videos (multiple formats) 720p/1080p and play it via mxplayer over wifi or usb otg and have yet to find a clip that didnt work. I download movies from torrent so most of them are properly ripped with decent bitrates.
Please ignore my spelling mistakes. English is not my native language.

Try Archos Video Player with all plugins installed.
if VLC doesn't do it then I'd try diceplayer with the proper plugins...

I really am out of ideas with this one. How about if you play straight from the link above without downloading? Still not playing? Does it give an error?
You haven't told us the codec?
.mp4 is just the file container. Also the bit-rate.
Rock Player used to be the best all round, able to play unplayable files within software using the CPU. If the GPU can't decode it, you're gonna have to turn off hardware acceleration.
You might even have to 're-encode to H.264 or similar to get it to play.

Movies for different sources?
What exactly happens when you try to play the video? I've tried a great many video formats for lots of sources with MX, and have yet to encounter one that will straight-out not play. The worst that I've seen, it plays choppy, and I switch to the HW+ or SW decoder mode and it starts to play smoothly.
