First of all,
1. I know you can use Kies to convert your video files by dragging the video file through it to the Videos folder, but if you've noticed, all it does is it encodes it to mp4 leaving all the other settings the same, ending up with a bigger file size.
2. I know you can use players like MX Player to directly play the file but again, the file's size will be huge as it won't even be encoded.
In this small guide I will show you how I convert my videos and keep a decent quality with a quite low file size. Reason I made another guide is because on Any Video Converter, you didn't have the option to change the aspect ratio, leading to black bars.
To begin, let's download and install Freemake Video Converter - Click here to download.
Instructions:
1. After you have installed it, start it up and press on the "+ Video" button and choose the video you want to convert.
2. At the bottom you should see a "to MP4" button, click that.
3. When the pop-up appears, the preset is probably set to "Same as source", click on that and look for "Mobile quality".
4. Under it, you see a + button, a gauge, and a X. Click on the gauge to edit the preset.
5. Copy these settings:
6. After you are done typing in the settings click on OK, which will take you to the previous popup, then just click Convert and it will start encoding the video.
With these settings you save up some space on your SD card. That is all.
