Sample MP4 Videos for your Tablet/Phone

[dvdcatalyst]

To make it easier to decide what DVD Catalyst 4 profile is best for your device, and to give you an idea of what your device is actually capable of in terms of video playback, I converted a couple of trailers using different settings.


Besides selecting the actual device profile, I did enable “enable streaming” so you can just visit the link on your device, and the video will stream. Due to the high-quality settings used for the conversions, the files are a bit large, so I would strongly recommend using WiFi rather than 3G to watch the clips. 4G should be able to handle it, however, unless you have a real “unlimited” plan, WiFi would be better.


For all conversions, I used the 1080 versions of the trailers, but for a few samples I changed the resolution to match that of the intended video source to give you a proper comparison of the resulting quality.


The sources I used:




A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas - Movie Trailers - iTunes





The Amazing Spider-Man - Movie Trailers - iTunes





The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 - Movie Trailers - iTunes
Edit: For some reason, the forum doesn't like spaces in the actual links.

DVD Catalyst Profiles used:

Android > Droid Bionic
(Profile intended for DVD-sized content, so I changed the resolution to reflect that)

Index of /dvd_catalyst_profile_samples
("bionic.mp4")

Android > Droid Bionic (fast)

(Profile intended for DVD-sized content, so I changed the resolution to reflect that)

Index of /dvd_catalyst_profile_samples
("Bionic fast.mp4")

Android > Droid Bionic HQ

(profile intended for HD sources, so profile settings left at default)
Index of /dvd_catalyst_profile_samples
("bionic hq.mp4")

Android > Droid Bionic HQ2

Index of /dvd_catalyst_profile_samples

Note: The Bionic profiles work for many other newer Android phones, including the HTC EVO 3D and Sensation.

You are quite welcome Princess.

There are a couple of older threads of mine that contain similar sample videos that are more optimized for the Droids if you are looking for more videos.

I had to dig a little. Its been a while since I did them. I'm not sure if the links still work, my web-host has been complaining about the amount of space I use up, even though they claim its unlimited
