    Lousy idea to re-encode your video just to play it on your Samsung phone.

    Newer Samsung Phones play MP4 files without conversion.  Otherwise, you can get any number of Android apps that will play back MP4 files

    Yes, that’s true, but not everyone have or able to buy newer phone so this kind of tutorial is most welcome to them. If you are using newer Samsung phone with Android OS make sure you subscribe to our How-To tutorials because we will continue to have a lot of useful advice for those phones too.
