[Q] convert videos for the [B]Asus Transformer Prime[/B]

---

Hi XDA community


In what format should I convert videos for the Asus Transformer Prime, for a good quality.............

I have a movie (1.25 GB avi.) -> (. 3.12 GB MP4) format.

Used program =
- Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate
- Profil Motorola Xoom / H.264 Video
- 1280x720


[Q]
- Is this normal (1.87 GB more)?
- Are there any conversion settings for the Prime (size, format, etc.)?
- Which program would you recommend?


Thank you for your help

You don't convert. The prime eat anything as long as you use a third party player like mxplayer.

Yup. This is one of the things that makes me happiest about moving from my iPad to an Android tablet.

You don't need to convert anything. You can play avi, mkv, wmv with a third party app.
I heard that Dice player is good. In my phone I used Mobo player or Mxvideo player.

thanks all

The conversion I'd like to understand is .wtv to playable on Android.

We've got quite a few computers in this household running Windows Media Center. They record OTA HD TV on a house server in .wtv (MSFT proprietary) format. But none of the players I've tried play .wtv out of box, yet.

And when the Win 8 slates appear, they WILL interoperate with .wtv and be harder to dislodge. So this would be a good time to source .wtv format files in a DLNA scheme.

I'm having issues playing WMV or M4V from BluRay digital copies.

Is there something that will play these types of files? MX Player does not work.

I don't have a wmv or m4v file at hand but you could try dice player. It's my favorite so far.

in the specs it states that it can run wmv and m4v

dude don't mess with that drm garbage. Even if it would work don't reward bad behavior (drm). My mom now hates drm because she mistakenly bought a couple movies on iTunes and now her reward for not bittorrenting it is they're now worthless to her in her tf101 (or any Android device). Just use tpb for what you need. Besides they can recommpress or remove drm in the time it takes you to poop. They're pros

These are heavily DRMed. If you did not get a Digital Copy version that is compatible with Android then you are screwed. The WMV is a heavily DRMed Windows file, and the M4V is for iTunes. Only a few BluRays were released that had an Android version too.

Honestly, if you have a BluRay player in your PC is easier to rip it to another format. Otherwise, you have to breach the DRM and convert it to a non-DRM version.

I hate the digital copy stuff, but the Ultraviolet stuff is kinda neat. At least you can use the Flixster (Movies) app to view them streaming on Android. However, only a few use it and its still a DRM nightmare.
