Would anyone please be so kind to test this workaround with the following file?

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NFU871QV

it's from www.yibis.com and uses Soft-Subs. Unfortunately they now use variable framerate, so I'm not sure if the video will play at all. Thanks!

Thank you very much!
No problems cause of the variable framerate (out of sync or something like that)?

Well, well - that means I have to do some robbery to my banking account...
I envy you, cause you already have your phone and even the 16GB-Version. This one is unavailable here in Germany. Don't know why. Maybe Samsung thinks we are to poor and should save our money for Greece.

THIS phone is a BEAST with media playback!! its like a mini bluray player!!

yeah it does 720p movies with ease, but waste of space if your just gonna watch on your phone, i understand if you are gonna play it on a HD TV output,..

My method is Rip Bluray into MKV original quality with AC3,
reencode with Xvid4PSP to res 800x448 and at x264 High Profile 3.1 with all high quality settings eg: Cabac etc and boom light size file with SUPERB quality!!

Iphone 4 users will only wish to that they can play MKV on the fly without re encode :P (with 4" and Super Amoled no challenge here)

This is not actually a Show Stopper but I noticed that my Galaxy can't play your video well, there's a lot of skipped frames. I don't think it's the phones fault coz my MKV's (from Horrible Subs & Crunchy Subs) play flawlessly. I suggest you to try other subbing groups.

here's the MediaInfo comparison, hope someone can point out the problem:

bUt I'm still getting it anyway , since I see that ass an add on for when you go a friend house and want to play a movie you have in the phone on the tv.

there is the usual tv out from the phone from the headset plug.

The phone also supports DLNA out, so if you have a ps3 or xbox you should be able to stream things to you tv through that.

and DLNA..... but I haven't tried it so I don't know about the quality. Hope it's HD! :)

Frame rate mode : Constant

I think that's the problem. As I said, it has a variable framerate. That means the framerate goes up to 30fps under some circumstances (afaik when there are fast moves). If the player stays at 24fps, it will loose some frames each time.

I've been testing DLNA. It works actually pretty good. Just turn on XBMC on your pc, enable DLNA. Get your phone, open DLNA program, select to remotely play your files. Pick your file, pick your XBMC player as station. (must have wifi on off course). And off you go.
720p mkv HD with 5.1DD. Works absolutely perfect. You don't get a preview on your mobilescreen, it's just streaming so 1080 might even work. I have btw an upload of about 1.2 MB/s and download of 2.2 MB/s to my wifi. (3.2Mbit d and 0.5 Mbit up via HSDPA ).
The only thing that doesn't work properly is to view the videos that were made by GS. It only shows the first seconde or so before it's skips to the next file.

(DLNA works as well for music and photos)
