[SOLVED][Q] Sdcard filled???

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

[Q] phone will recognize micro sd card using NTFS?

Hi,
I have a question, is the phone will recognize a memory card with NTFS file system?
I'd use it to watch HD movies (Weighing over 4 GB) using the MHL adapter.
Thanks in advance

No it won't recognise NTFS.

So there is no way to watch 1080p movies that is larger than 4gb without manually splitting each file?

nope, anything over 4gb requires ntfs to play and ntfs is not comptainle with the Galaxy S II
yes, a 4gb or higher movie will need to be split into parts to play..

Maybe this will help:

[Q] How to move movies files 4gb+ onto microsd card?

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.

How to copy 4Gb+ files to One X?

With Media Link HD it will be possible to stream HD content to a HDTV. But how to copy a HD movie, for instance, to One X, if it doesn't support SD Card and internal SD partition doesn't support files bigger than 4Gb?
Any ideias?

maybe the internal 32gb partition comes with ntfs, is it possible?

According to Anandtech's review of TF Prime:
"Android File Transfer won't push over a file greater than 4GB so the first thing I tried was ripping a portion of A Quantum of Solace (BD) and sending over a 40Mbps High Profile 1080p MKV of it. (...) External NTFS volumes are supported and the sdcard file system supports files greater than 4GB in size, so I copied a 15GB 1080p Blu-ray rip of A Quantum of Solace from a USB stick to the Prime."

But the One X doesn't have USB host, as far as I know.

I think all ICS phones will have USB Host support but not 100% sure...

If only there was an acessory to plug a SD Card adaptor...

so basically we have a device capable of streaming 1080p HD quality video but it cannot support storage of such files due to the typical large size conflicting with internal storage system?

ok, so... am I being a dumbass here ? or am I reading it right:
"so I copied a 15GB 1080p Blu-ray rip of A Quantum of Solace from a USB stick to the Prime"
I do believe this means that he sent the 15GB file to his phone... therefore, it is possible.
About having usb host capability:
"All three handsets have a USB Host enabled micro USB port, which means users will be able to connect them to USB accessories and to an HDTV or monitor with the right adapter"

Thanks for the confirmation casca!
So basicly as I understand it he is saying...
When Phone is connected to a PC you cant transfer files larger than 4gb to it.
However when a USB Storage Deivce is connected directly to the phone via USB Host you can transfer files bigger than 4gb to the phone?
Seems a little wiered... I understud the limitation for transfering 4gb+ files to an SD card was due to it being formated with FAT32 but the internal storage in the phone wont be FAT32 will it?

That's not how I understand it. It could also mean that the phone itself cannot hold 4GB+ files but it can read or write them from an external usb device. So you can stream your movies directly from the usb drive over the phone.
But I might be wrong..

ok just tested with my Xoom running ICS which has a 32gb internal storage and a 32gb SD card in it.
I can transfer a 10gb file from my PC to the internal storage with out an issue.
I can't transfer a 10gb file from my PC to the SDCard. The reason being as I suggested above is that the file system on the SDCard (FAT32) doesnt support files bigger than 4gb.
So in conclusion unless the internal storage is using a file system that doesnt support 4gb+ files (dont see why it would be as it should use a Linux FS (ext2?)) then you will be able to transfer them to the device from your PC.

Nothing less, nothing more

Bit of a confusion here: on the Anandtech review, it wasn't possible to transfer a 15Gb file to the TF Prime internal memory, so it was transfered to the SD Card (NTFS) or to a USB flash drive, attached to the Transformer Prime's dock.

Oh...damn...i just red the user text on the previous post...according to that, the interpretation was it worked lol...
The internal sd memory is in fat32,ntfs or ext?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA

Internal memory should be ext4, i guess... it should work like the GN and can only be mounted as an MTP instead of USB drive. We'll know soon enough.

Ext4 allows 4gb+ files?

The ext4 filesystem can support volumes with sizes up to 1 exbibyte (EiB) and files with sizes up to 16 tebibytes (TiB).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4
Should be enough

The doubt is only if it is ext4 or not. We will find soon enough.

Google used ext4 as the default file system for ICS, so i can only assume the One X will use it too. You generally use fat32 on external storage like an SDCard, the phone doesn't even have one

[Q] How to get x264 encoded videos to my Note II?

I have a bunch of MKV files that when I try to copy them to my Note, it crashes Windows Explorer. I typically get the dialog that says "Do you want to convert this file?" with all of my MP4/AVI files (and I always say "no"), but I don't even get that option with these MKVs. According to MediaInfo, the MKV is using Codec ID: V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC and the MP4 is using "avc1".
I can, however, zip up the MKV file, copy it over to my Note, unzip and it plays fine...but that's a huge pain, IMO. I also don't want to have to re-encode any of my MKVs (all under 720p), since they actually do play on my phone via MX Video Player.
Is there any way to get my phone to just connect as a mass storage device, like with my SII, instead of as an "MTP device"?

Anyone? This is the same for the TF300 tablet as well.

Do you have all the right drivers? As well you could adb push and it should copy successfully.....I have done this before with a video but not an mkv before.

What I've always found the fastest method is to pop out my sd card, plug it into my computer, and transfer it that way.
I prefer to keep my media on my sd anyway.
swyped all these spelling errors fro card m my galaxy note 2

There is an app on xda called GS3 ums mount or something like that. Google it. It will let you access the sd card in your phone as a external drive when you plug it into your computer. You can then drag and drop files as you wish.
Format your sd card to exfat to copy files larger than 4GB. The built in player from Samsung plays mkv or you can try mx player.

Unfortunately, you need to be rooted to use that app...sounds like it's what I'm looking for though.
