Hey everyone. As you may know already the Touchpad is limited to playing movies formatted as MP4. We can't really get around this right now effectively with apps or anything on the actual device. I however was pointed towards a windows program which does a fantastic job at converting all types of video formats to MP4 and they come out looking great. The program is called
Free Video Converter and is on the site www.any-video-converter.com. I have played around with it and it will convert a full length movie in about 20 to 30 mins depending on the original quality. I converted a 720p movie in about that time.
Give it a try and let me know how you go or if you have found any better programs
EDIT: Thanks everyone for your app suggestions in regards to playing vids on the TP. Here's a list of your suggestions
- Kalemsoft Media Player
- Air playit
- Touchplayer
and on pc

I use Handbrake which works on PC and Mac to convert to mp4, will try comparing the speed to the one you mentioned
ReplyDeleteok I'll give that a go and put it on the post as well. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI threw KalemSoft Media Player on and it handles all standard avi rips well (with HD mkv rips the video lags behind the sound)... I say that purely because it can be a right pain converting things when you just quickly want to put something on it to watch somewhere...
ReplyDeletehow about a free mp4 movie site?

ReplyDeleteI came across this online
??? the first thing i downloaded was kalem media player which supports basicly any format and just works fine for me .... if you overclock the tp you even can watch 720p smooth ...anything above that doesnt make sense anyways
ReplyDeleteUse air playit. And stream your movies from your computer
ReplyDeleteWhere have you gone? The new video of Android running on Touchpad is great news.
