Galaxy Nexus Watering Hole

Morning everyone -- working from home today. I absolutely love that I can WFH at this job if I want/need to.

Gonna flash gummyNex 0.2.6 over my 0.2.3 in a bit -- the changes for 0.2.6 are awesome -- especially the 1% battery mod, although I do love my Circle Battery Widget.

BTW wifi power management is awesome -- this is left unplugged overnight.

That's about what I get if I don't touch it while on wifi, 1% an hour roughly
 
If anyone likes some nice classical/bluegrass fusion and haven't heard of this group, some nice morning listening. Picking up this album to get my parents for Christmas.

Sorry about the ad at the beginning.

Edit: Wish I had HALF the talent of any of these guys.
 
BTW people said they used DVD catalyst to convert videos for Nexus?

Anyone got a reminder of what settings they used? TIA.

Video player device = Galaxy Nexus for DVD, Galaxy Nexus HQ2 for Blu-ray.
If your are converting blue ray, Go into the globe settings and check Blu ray.

I left everything else alone.

And here is a link to help with the Galaxy nexus.

Good morning (now I can say it! :D ) Fellow Galaxy Nexus'ers! Mine will be here tomorrow... was hoping it was going to be here today but Verizon didn't ship until yesterday and as of this morning, it's still showing at the Memphis, TN hub. I can't wait to have this device in my hot little hands!

I'm very excited for you!

I'm using Galaxy Nexus HQ2, but have only converted blu-ray's. I converted an .avi file of "breaking bad" that a friend lent me, but it didn't turn out too good.

I don't get this paragraph (from the link):

If you convert HD content such as Blurays or HD MKV/M2TS files, use the Galaxy Nexus HQ1 profile for slower movies (romance/comedy) or HQ2 for fast movies (action/racing etc). For a mixture of both HD and DVD, you can use the HQXT profile, which sits inbetween the standard and HQ profiles.

What's the difference between the two settings? I'd like to know instead of being told what to do. A lot of the movies I want to convert are dramas with action in it (Star Wars, etc.), so it's not all breakneck-fast scenes.

I don't want to use HQXT because I want the best quality possible.

I emailed the dev and he said that the Thrive HQ mode I was using should work well for the gnex. Since i really only want to have one copy, I'd rather get one that'll work on both my devices. Keep in mind if you choose too high quality it may not look as goodas a lower resolution. Please see his site for a better explanation. I have not yet watched a movie I've converted, though.
