Video converter

pinkice85 · Nov 24, 2010

Can someone please point me in the right direction for a really good video converter. The only movie that takes up the whole screen on my Tab is Transformers 2...

bud, you dont need a converter - you need a better player

look for vplayer alpha on the market, its my fav but theres a slew of others that both play everything and allow you to change fullscreen/ ar settings - only thing to watch out for is the 4gb limit of file size

I use Adobe Media Encoder to encode to h.264 1024x576 with stereo AAC and use the ipod mux settings
Occasionally I use Nero which seems to use all 8 threads of my i7

WinFF and Handbrake should work.

For player, have you tried RockPlayer?

I find Rockplayer is hopeless at playing .mkv files. They jerk, pixelate and the sound is out of sync. Even the default Video Player is better.

Thanks for the info on vplayer ftgg99, I'll give it a try.

i use handbrake and the default video app. it has an option of filling up the whole screen.

What presets and settings do you use for Handbrake?

Cheers... I'm busy trying it out and before I received your reply I set it to convert a large .mkv but I didn't use any presets.... So far it's taken 18mins and is only 32% done.
I'll let it finish and try it again using the preset you mention.

Thanks again.

Well I'm converting the video on a high powered Laptop with an i7-950 3.06Ghz processor, 8GB RAM and 2x640GB Hard Drives so speed should not be the bottleneck.

I guess it shouldn't take long then..
