The Kindle Video preset produces H.264 MP4 files specifically formatted for Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet line running Fire OS. RMVB files use RealVideo codecs that Fire OS cannot decode natively — unlike stock Android, Fire OS has a more limited media framework. This conversion is particularly relevant for users in Asia who have RMVB collections and use Kindle Fire tablets as their primary entertainment device.

Kindle Fire tablets cannot play RMVB files, even with most third-party video apps (Fire OS's app store has fewer options than Google Play). The Kindle Video preset guarantees playback through Fire OS's built-in media framework with hardware acceleration, avoiding software decoding overhead on the tablet's modest processor.

FFmpeg decodes RealVideo and RealAudio, then encodes to H.264 Main Profile Level 3.1 with CRF 23 and AAC-LC at 128 kbps stereo. Resolution is capped at 1280x800 to match Kindle Fire display panels. The MP4 container uses faststart for instant playback from local storage.

MX Player (available on Amazon Appstore) can software-decode RMVB, but performance varies. Native H.264 playback is faster, smoother, and more battery-efficient.

Yes — Fire TV devices share the same Fire OS media framework. The converted files play on Fire TV Stick, Cube, and Edition TVs.

Standard Kindle e-readers (Paperwhite, Oasis) cannot play video at all. This preset is for Kindle Fire tablets and Fire TV devices only.

At CRF 23 and 1280x800 resolution, a typical 2-hour movie is 600-900 MB. A 32 GB Kindle Fire (with ~25 GB available) can hold approximately 25-40 movies.

Yes — connect the Kindle Fire via micro-USB/USB-C, copy the MP4 to the 'Movies' or 'Video' folder, and it appears in the Gallery or Videos app.
