You got new Samsung Galaxy S4 android phone. You may want to play HD videos e.g. AVI on your Galaxy S4. While, you may find that Galaxy S4 can’t recognize all the AVI files due to the different video codecs contained by AVI. As far as I know you can play DivX .avi on Galaxy S4 easily, but not the XviD .avi movies.

Well, it is yet easy to get AVI onto Samsung Galaxy S4 as long as you change AVI to Galaxy S4 most compatible file format like H.264 MP4. Below is the full guide:

First of, download aPubsoft Video Converter Mac app. Overall, the program can be used as an all-in-one video conversion app for Galaxy phones and tablets. With it, you can easily transcode AVI to MP4 videos for Galaxy S4 on Mac OS X(Include Lion and Mountain Lion) with high quality and fast encoding speed. Besides AVI, it can also help you transfer almost all 1080p/720p videos including MKV, VOB, MPG, MOV, TiVo, MTS etc. for Galaxy S4, Galaxy Tab 2 10.1/7.0, Galaxy Note 2/3, Galaxy S3, Nexus 7 and other Android tablets, ensuring smooth and HD playback.

How to Convert AVI videos to Samsung Galaxy S4 video formats on Mac

Step 1: Add AVI Video Files

Install and run the Mac Galaxy S4 Video Converter, clic “Add Video” or “Add from folder” to import your source AVI videos. Batch conversion is supported so that you can add multiple files.

Step 2: Select output format

Choose output profile for Galaxy S4. Here I recommend you “Android > Samsung Galaxy S II Video (*.mp4)” which is a format specially designed for Galaxy S2 but also works for the S4.

Tip: Quality-Settings

If you like, you can click on Settings you could easily set bitrate, frame rate, codec, channels, sample rate, etc to adjust parameters that affect video quality and file size for the video you prefer. Keep in mind that bit rate higher results in big file size, and lower visible quality loss, and vice versa.

Step 3. Start encoding AVI

Finally, go back to the main interface and click the “Convert” button to start converting AVI for playing on Galaxy S4.

Once the process completes, just click “Open” to find the Galaxy S4 playable MP4 videos after the conversion and transfer them to your Samsung S4 device with ease and verve.

Convert EOS 7D H.264 MOV footages to MPEG-2 for editing in FCP on Mavericks

As the best APS-C sensor-sized DSLR Camera, Canon EOS 7D makes an excellent choice for aspiring filmmakers or photographers looking to explore a new creative venue. It supports full 1080p HD-it can record high-definition, wide-screen video in 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution, at a frame rate of 24fps, in the Quicktime MOV format using the H.264 codec. All of these are great, till you find it is a problem importing the EOS 7D H.264 MOV footages to Final Cut Pro for editing. Even the raw video could be successfully loaded to FCP, the film will looks quite jumpy. H.264 is a delivery codec rather than editing code, and you need to transcode the video to a format more friendly for FCP, for instance, MPEG-2, Xvid AVI, etc. The following passage guides you how to convert Canon EOS 7D H.264 MOV to MPEG-2 for FCP.

Step 1.Import Canon EOS 7D .MOV footages to aPubsoft MAC Video Converter.

After connecting Canon EOS 7D .MOV to iMac or Macbook with USB cable, transfer the mov footages into the hard drive and run aPubsoft HD Converter for Mac. Click ‘Add’ button, browse to the footages and load them to the converter.

Step 2: Choose "Adobe Premere/Sony Vegas---MPEG-2"as the output format.

Click “Format” icon to choose “MPEG-2 (*.mpg)” as the output format in the “Adobe Premiere/Sony Vegas” section. In addition, you can choose the output destination folder as you need. Moreover, you can Click the "Settings" button and set proper video/ audio parameters. My advice is to set the video size, bitrate and fame rate to be exactly as the footages so that you will suffer least quality degradation. For example, when the video is shot at 1920*1080, 5mbps, 30fps, you could set Size-1920*1080, Bitrate-original, Frame rate-30. If you would like to use default settings, simply skip this step.

Step 3: Start Canon 7D H.264 MOV to MPEG-2 conversion with the best MAC H.264 MOV Converter.

Click “conversion” button to start conversion. The process of conversion will be incredibly fast. After a few seconds, the output files are ready for you to play and edit on Final Cut Pro.

1. Deinterlace- click ‘Editor’, switch to ‘Effect’ tab, find ‘Deinterlacing’ box, and check it.

2. Combine files together-check the files to be merged in file list and select all files and click "Merge".

3. Perfect and guaranteed video/audio synchronization, 2 or 3 times faster speed.
