To solve the AVI on Galaxy Tab 2 issues for the users, we did several tests, and the testing results show that Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 can fully support AVI files encoded in DivX, but if the files are encoded in XviD, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 will not handle it. I've tried with stock video player & MX Player but they'll only show the thumbnail (in stock the thumbnail won't move as the other vids;static).

In that case, to play these AVI videos on Galaxy Tab 2, you can use the professional AVI to Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Converter to help you reformat Xvid .avi to Galaxy Tab 2 supported format. Applying it, you can tweak the video, audio settings for Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 for getting a best quality output.

Step 3: If you like, you can click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc. as you wish. According to my experience, the file size and video quality is based more on bitrate than resolution which means bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa.

How-To: Download/Put DVD movies to BlackBerry Z10 (BB 10 DVD playing)

Summary: Want to play DVD movies on BlackBerry Z10? What's the best settings to rip DVDs for the new BlackBerry Z10? Here you will find the best answer.

The BlackBerry Z10 has a 4.2" LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 768 x 1280 pixels, which puts it in HD category. Throw in its battery life and obvious portability, the Z10 can be used as a great media player for watching movies. If you have some DVD movie collections and want to download the DVDs to BlackBerry Z10 for playback. You've come to the right place. The article here will help you better enjoy your DVDs on BlackBerry Z10. Keep reading for a brief how-to process.

The process is much easier than you may think. Below I will take Brorsoft DVD Ripper for example to show you how to rip DVD movies to BlackBerry Z10 supported video formats in just three step within clicks.

Overall, Brorsoft DVD Ripper (The equivalent Mac version) is easy to use for editing and conversion and makes great quality copies of my DVDs. It helps me rip and convert all the DVD Discs even DVD iso/ifo image files. The audio/video synchronization is very good, the size of the subtitles too. I tried several softwares and I can tell you that NO ONE comes even close to the simpleness and great quality that Brorsoft softwares deliver. The time it takes to convert in this software is almost half that in other.

Guide: How to Convert DVD to play on BlackBerry Z10

The quick start guide below uses DVD Ripper Windows screenshots. The way to encode DVD movies to BlackBerry Z10 on Mac is almost the same. Just make sure you get the right version according to your computer operating system.

Step 1: Load DVD Movies

Open the DVD Ripper for BlackBerry Z10, insert the DVD disc to your computer drive, and then click the "DVD Disc" icon on the interface to navigate to the videos you want to convert. As you see, you can also add ISO file, IFO file or DVD folder.



Step 2: Specify output format

Select the suitable output video format. Click "Format" bar, you can easily find the optimized videos for BlackBerry Z10 under "BlackBerry > BlackBerry Playbook Video(*.mp4)". The preset is specially designed for Playbook but the output videos could fit on BlackBerry Z10 perfectly and supplies full-screen playback.



What are the best settings to rip DVDs for output on the new blackberry Z10?

The supported resolution of BlackBerry Z10 goes up to 1080p, though video playback and most apps never break out of 720p. For watching videos on Z10, 720p with 1500~2000kbps is just all right. I find that bitrate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss (Click "Settings" to change the video encoder, resolution, frame rate, etc). Below is the best format settings per my experience:

Video
Codec- H.264
Resolution- 1280×720
Bitrate- 1500/2000kbps
Framerate- 24fps

Audio
Codec- AAC
Sampling rate- 44.1khz
Bitrate- 128kbps
Channel- stereo

Step 3: Start the conversion

When you are satisfied with all the settings, you can click "Convert" and let the software do the DVD to BlackBerry Z10 MP4 conversion. After the ripping, you can click "Open" to locate the converted MP4 video files and just transfer them to your BlackBerry Z10 without limitations!

If your movie isn't already in one of the BlackBerry supported formats or it's still on a DVD or a Blu-ray, you can get the Video Converter Ultimate (or the iMedia Converter Mac)which can help you rip Blu-ray/DVD, and convert various formats of 720p/1080p HD videos in MKV, AVI, TiVo, VOB, MPG, MTS, etc. to your BlackBerry PlayBook, BlackBerry Z10 or your Android/iOS/Windows RT(8) based tablets/phones for smoothly playing.

Transfer 1080 60p MTS files from JVC GZ-VX700 to Final Cut Pro without incompatible errors

Summary:To make it easier for editing JVC GZ-VX700 videos on FCP 6/7/X, you can use JVC AVCHD MTS Converter for Mac, which was a great Mac JVC GZ-VX700 Converter.

Have you got JVC’s new line of “WiFi-enabled” Everio GZ-VX700 camcorder? The VX700 isn’t the cheapest of JVC’s 2012 Everio camcorders, but it comes with a modest $499 price tag that makes it a bit cheaper than the competition. To keep the costs down, however, JVC included no internal memory on the GZ-VX700, so you need to add in the cost of memory cards to your total package price. The performance of the camcorder, as well as its cheap construction, also didn’t leave us that impressed— but that’s what we’ve come to expect from mid-range JVC models.

GZ-VX700 uses the most popular recording format AVCHD(MTS/M2TS), which can up to 1920 x 1080p/60 fps. As we all know AVCHD features almost twice the recording time in HD quality than the conventional Motion JPEG, so some GZ-VX700 users that are new to AVCHD are likey to meet some troubles for playing and editing on Mac OS X. From Googling, I found many users couldn't get AVCHD .mts files to Final Cut Pro(x) for editing. Here, I will take JVC GZ-VX700 video as an example and share the best way to transfer JVC GZ-VX700 1080p MTS files to FCP



In fact, you'd better transform MTS to FCP's native format- Apple ProRes first, thus you can put videos to FCP without rendering and incompatible problems. To keep the original video quality for editing, you need a top Mac AVCHD Converter to transcode footage with best video and audio settings. Below is the perfect way to help you do that.

How to chnage AVCHD to ProRes keeping best quality



Step 1: Import MTS/M2TS to the MTS to ProRes Converter.

Tip: If you have several JVC GZ-VX700 AVCHD files and want to combine them to be one file, you can click the “Merge into one” box so that you can play these files without interruption.

Step 2: Select an output format for FCP X and set the output folder. Click on the “Format” and get the dropdown menu, then move you pointer to “Final Cut Pro”. Under the sub list are there a few formats which are all compatible with FCP. Then you can set the output folder by clicking “Browse” icon as you need.

Note: If you want the files to be in smaller size, you can follow Final Cut Pro > Apple ProRes 422(LT)(*mov)/Apple ProRes 422(*mov) option.

Step 3: Adjust audio and video parameters in Profile Settings. You can change the default codec, bit rate, frame rate, sample rate and audio channel according to your needs and optimize the output file quality.

Tips:
1. Recommend: Video Size:1920*1080 & Frame Rate:30 fps(NTSC) or 25fps(PAL)
2. If your file is 1080i, you can click Edit and select "deinterlacing" in the Effect to deinterlace 1080i files.

Step 4: Tap the Green Arrow button on the main interface to start converting JVC GZ-VX700 1080p converter for mac for editing in FCP X. After the conversion, plaease click "Open" to find the converted video.

Copy video to FCP without Log and Transfer

Now, the video is natively playable for FCP. Run FCP and click "File> Import> files" to directly ingest clips to the editing software. You will directly and quickly import the file to FCP without rendering time and any error. Have a good time on waching and editing JVC GZ-VX700 videos.

However, most of users who are bundled with the Sony software package can easily connect it with the computer using Sony PC Companion, but sometimes it doesn’t work.

These new phones do not support mass storage anymore, but it does support MTP which allows you to add or remove files from your 16GB or 32GB of phone storage. MTP drivers are always included with the stock Android phone software — but could have been removed by Sony to include their own drivers. Here we show you below on how to download and install the Sony USB drivers.

Step 1. Download and install Sony USB drivers or PC Companion first for Xperia Z.
Step 2. Connect Sony Xperia Z to PC using that USB cable.
Step 3. Now wait for the computer to recognize the device.
Step 4. Several drivers including the modem, MTP service etc. will be installed automatically.

Once finished, you will see a new media device in My Computer. You can now easily put media and image files to Xperia Z USB memory.

Well, for the Xperia Z users, most of them would like sync video files to Sony Xperia Z from computer for smooth playback. In this case, the priority you need to concern is the Sony Xperia Z video format. From its specs, we know Sony Xperia Z video format is limited to MP4, H.264, H.263, WMV. If you want to take other videos into it, you need to change the format first.

If you have recorded some 60p MP4 footages and want to imput to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 or under for further eiting, you will find the files are unsupported by PPro no matter Windows or Mac OS X system. Because 1920*1080 60p is a nonstandard format, hardly a Video Editing Software works well with it.
