Never attempted before....what do I need to convert dvd's to the Galaxy Nexus?
This is a noob ? I have never done this and need all the best but easiest tools and advice.....and what are your experiences with movies on Galaxy Nexus...
You will need a DVD ripper and transcoder with the right settings (usually use MP4 for video and audio)
You can read about them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_ripper , but watch out - using software like this and ripping DVDs might be illegal in your country.

I have an unrooted HTC Desire locked to Virgin running 2.22.351.3.
I use Twonkey server on my laptop and Skifta or Imediashare on my phone.
What I would like to do is play avi files stored on my Desire over my dlna network onto my tv. But I understand I cant do this as the Desire does not natively support avi's, so the dlna software doesnt see the avi files. (something to do with "Android registry" not being set to deal with avi's). MP4's work fine as does music and mpegs.
My backup LG GT540 does work ok, as it natively supports avi's. Very frustrating!
Now, I love my Desire, so, before I go and buy a Samsung Galaxy S2 (which will work, apparently), is there ANY way to get avi's to work over dlna. (P.S. I dont want to convert the videos)
Many thanks in advance.
Apparently I need to update the Android Media Database so Skifta or Imediasearch will "see" the avi files.
Anyone know how this can be done? Is it as easy as an app?
So I use tubeX to download and convert youtube videos to mp3 on my galaxy s 4g for my music needs. However, When I use same app on S2, it won't play those files. Google music player and touchwiz music app plays those files fine in galaxy 4g but not in S2. I don't know why. As a result I am forced to use galaxy 4g when I have a brand new galaxy S2.
Any suggestions how to fix it?
Idk how tp fix this, but wouldnt it be easier if you just downloaded a torrent app from the market, like free mp3 music downloader, instead of making mp3s from YouTube videos?

Well Yes and No. I can speak 4 languages and Its usually easy to find english music online (I have mp3 downloader app for that) But its hard to find music in the other 3 languages. Its easy to just download youtube videos and change the extension to mp3 and in my any other android phone it works fine but not in Galaxy S2. Even though I use same apps and same android version on both phones. Weird!
Try tubemate, i have used that on my S2 and when downloading video select mp3 option.

Witch video do you want to convert, the one recorded with your camera and want to watch on your pc or tv? (don't need to convert, just use VLC player or install a codec pack like shark007)
Or you want to watch videos from your pc on your phone?
Please keep all question related threads in the Q&A section. Thank You.

Thanks :good:
I bought my daughters nexus 7's for christmas and took them out to get them set up and get some of their favorite games installed and load some of our videos on that they like to watch on my phone. I noticed that the stock video player on the nexus 7 doesn't play many different video formats, basically only mp4 files. The stock touchwiz video player on my galaxy s3 has played every file I have thrown at it with no stuttering and no problems. I was wondering if there was a way to get the video player from my phone onto the nexus 7, would it be possible to use titanium backup to back the video player up and just install the apk on the nexus 7s, or is it more tied into the touchwiz ui than just the video player apk? I know I can use mx player, or another one from the play store, but honestly, I have never found one that outperforms the stock galaxy s3 video player.
Yes! Thank you!

I agree 1000% percent. I have some free MKV files that came with purchased movies. I was able to copy them to my Galaxy S3, as well as AVI's, and it played them flawlessly, not conversion, just like I would play these on my Windows PC or Playstation. I too dont want to install some app from the market and additional codecs to try and get my MKVs to play. But I did try, and it doesnt work. This tells me there's something in the Samsung S3 VideoPlayer app that can play these videos, and that means it should easily be able to run within Nexus 7. I too am trying to find the valid VideoPlayer.apk to try and install it on my Nexus 7. Have you tried that yet? Let me know if you do get it to work. I really love my Nexus, but a few things irk me. No support for Adobe Flash, the video camera app is set to 480p but found posts where you can turn on the ability for 720p, and this, playing MKV and AVI files.
I just got the GN 10.1 2014 tablet. Looks great, works great.
I am VERY new to the video game. I want to encode some DVDs and Blurays and move them onto this thing.
Apparently the free encoding app called HandBrake needs specific settings for each model tablet?
Where do I find settings for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014?
A friend gave me a file he made with Handbrake that he encoded as an .mp4 for his Amazon Kindle Fire HD.
If I try to drag/drop copy that file from my PC over to the Galaxy Note 10.1, a dialog window comes up on the PC
saying that it will "convert" the file and take 2 hours. Why would it need to convert it, if the file is already a full HD
mpeg4? Or, is that the part about needing custom settings for each android device, to use in handbrake?
Ideally, I want to learn how to set the settings in Handbrake so that the completed file will SIMPLY copy over to
the galaxy note in a few minutes (normal file copy), and NOT be re-converted a second time.
Where would I learn about the settings needed for the Handbrake app?
I can see from google that several of the high-cost video encoder apps have already added a "profile" for this tablet.
But, Handbrake is free, if we can learn the proper settings.
Sincere Thanks,
Neal
Hi
Have a search on the internet for nexus 10 hand brake settings. Both tablets have the same screen resolution and the nexus has been out longer so the setting should be readily available. If you have a MPEG4 it should already play it on the samsung the only advantage of using handbrake is to reduce the file size whilst maintains the quality. Ripping your own DVD's and converting the for your tablet can be time consuming. I do not condone piracy at all but if you already own the physical DVD or blu ray to be honest you may be better down loading a digital copy. Someone else would of done the hard work of ripping and converting the files for you.
what i liked about the old galaxy note was that i didn't have to convert anything. everything played fine on it. this refresh doesn't support ac3 audio any more. you may be able to get by without conversion if you use mobo, mx, or buy archos player and us the free codec app. i know the archos has played everything so far.
