for some reason the 8gig sdcard is only allowing files under 2gigs. anything bigger it says there isn't any room. i checked it and it is formatted fat32. that is really weird.... anyone have any suggestions? i'm gonna format the card and see if that helps. trying to watch an .mp4 movie. cuz nothing any bigger will fit GRRRR
That's because the card is formated to fat32 which only allows 2gb file limit. Sorry. Ntfs like ur pc has a bigger max size for 1 file

i looked it up and it is 4gigs... what is the best player and file format to play on phones then? since .mkv are over 4gigs.
Split the file in 1.99gb files

You don't need a 4GB movie for a phone. Seriouslly, on that screen you could transcode it down to a decent sized mpg or avi and never know the difference.
Also, I have ripped my entire DVD collection to m4v, and none of the files exceed 4GB using handbrake and look the same on the TV. Most are less than 3 GB, some are below 1GB (Aeon Flux for example). What are you using to make the m4v?
what zephirus said - the avatar movie on the vibrant isn't but 1.43GB and it played fine on my 62" screen tv
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.

Correction: 4gb is the limit.
Another thing you can try is to format your sdcard to EXT3 (EXT4), you won't be able access it from windows though, without special tools..
Or maybe...[HOWTO][exFAT][WORK IN PROGRESS] Mount exFAT formatted drives and cards
And finally, perhaps next time you convert that BluRay disk (yeah, right..), use h264 (x264) codec and mp4 container versus mkv, they tend to have better quality-per-mb rate
Guys, I have a question about types of SD Cards LG Nitro HD supports, but I don't want open a new topic, so I'm gonna ask it here.
I bought SanDisk Micro SDHC 32GB Ultra HC1, but it make me some troubles - crashed unexpectedly when I listen to music or watch the movie (Always with the same damn error, that I'm trying to use unsupported format. I'm talking about .avi and .mp3 files).
Anyone have any idea WTF is going on with this card or phone?

Just curious, have you tried EXT(3/4) formatted sdcard with our phone? Does it work?
As a pure storage I haven't tried, however in the past I did partition SD card to have ext3 partition along side of fat32, back then a rom I used (on atrix 4g) was able use that partition as additional storage for the phone.
You can try serveral ways.
1. Copy sd-card to computer via micro-sd adapter, format/partition it with cwm on your phone and then just copy the whole content back to sd-card to use for storage. At least this will eliminate future problems with the card, since it does not come formatted for your phone, it is formatted for cameras etc (i.e. sxt-fat/fat32).
2, Convert the movie into a smaller format, h.264 mp4 or whatever your video player happens to support and plug-in phone to the usb port for transfer, or again, use micro-sd adapter, whichever you prefer.
3. You may want to check out the movie file for the sound format that it is recorded with, since some players only support a certain amount of channels. Keep in mind, blue-ray, even when converted, sometimes forces to much data into the player which will most likely result in a crash/force close/or even lock-up your device.
But as for your original question, go with the first suggestion and give it a go.
I see loads of people talking about watching HD movies on their One X's. Just wondering how you get them. Is it a case of downloading them on your pc then transferring to the phone, or are they gotten from htc watch or something?
And if its the former, what formats are supported by the phone?
Well i don't think hatches started selling true hd content yet...but its easier to get them on your pc and transfer them to ur device. And download a app called mx player and it will pretty much play any codec and format with ease...

I copied one .avi format movie from my pc to the phone, it was a BDRIP.
Did not have any problems running it on default player, and the quality was awesome as well...

What size file out of interest. It seems we cannot copy files over 4GB because of FAT32
Just split the videos if they are bigger than 4GB, if you output the split files directly to the mass storage of your One X, you even wont lose time doing it.
Anyone got streaming over wifi working? Can stream ok between xbmc machines so my network is clearly up to it. The one x claps out after a couple of seconds tho when streaming 720p. Using Es file explorer to navigate to smb shares, could this be the problem? Any alternatives?

One question!
I have put a 64 gb memory card in my phone, no matter what videos I put on it, won't be displayed, if I go to search I will then find them by file name but still not be able to play any of them, this picture will explain what I see, is this normal as we can't put anything to sd card? Or do I have a bad memory card? Many thanks for your help guys.

I personally never heard of a glg and lvl extensions. Maybe you need to rename those to the correct extensions. Samsung probably has the best stock video player out of all the other manufacturers including apple. It will literally play 99% of video files. The only time I had issue was with audio not playing on a file with dolby dts audio for which I downloaded BS Player to play. (BS Player visual quality sucks though compared to the Note 2's player) Good luck!
The problem is 64GB Card most likely ... they are still not perfected and you will get bad apples a lot !
Plus support on kernel side is flaky at best

Can you play the default video from the gallery? Perhaps try mx player from play store? Also try recording a video and see if that plays. the extensions in ur screenshot are not familiar to me.
ghl is usually temporary file and lvl is game video file, you may not open with PC too.
I think some fixer are available to repair such file
Thanks guys, I have mx player, the videos work fine before I put them on that memory card,
