[Reviews]Watching 1080p MKV movies on Galaxy Tab 10.1/7.0/8.9
To transfer movies from Mac to Samsung Galaxy Tab (7.0'/8.9'/10.1'), you need more than Samsung Kies for Mac, because the Galaxy Tab will not play all videos thrown to it.
Here we list Samsung Galaxy Tab supported file formats for your reference:
Video format: 3gp, mp4, avi, wmv, flv, mkv
Video codec: MPEG4, H.263, Sorenson H.263, H.264, VC-1, DivX/Xvid
Audio format: mp3, m4a, mp4, 3gp, 3ga, ogg, oga, aac, flac
To transfer .mkv videos to Galaxy Tab/Galaxy Tab 8.9/Galaxy Tab 10.1, you need to convert the videos to .mp4 format first. Although the Samsung Kies for Mac tool includes a video converter, you'll find it support limited formats and converts videos forever long when come to use. That's why you need a Mac compatible Galaxy Tab converter app- for converting Mac videos to Galaxy Tab supported format before transferring movies to Galaxy Tab devices. Pavtube iMedia Converter for Mac is a best tool to help you convert movies to Galaxy Tab. Find a short guide below.
