My understanding is that the XDA2 BackPack has a TV output of 640x480 pixels, which compared to full PAL resolution of 720x576 (or 720x480 NTSC) isn't that far off.
I can encode a full length DivX movie from a DVD at 640x480 and it will fix on my soon to arrive 1GB Secure Digital card quite easily at superb quality. What I'm thinking is, will I be able to output from the XDA2, using the backpack, to the TV, and play a 640x480 DivX movie streaming from the XDA2? Or is the TV output restricted to applications that support it only? (Such as Powerpoint, etc)
Are you sure the XDA II can play a 640x480 movie smoothly?
Not at all; after creating this topic I've read multiple times that the XDA2 outputs 2-5fps via the backpack - I guess it only needs to create an output at that frequency when working with powerpoint presentations.
A little disappointing for a 400MHz processor, but I suppose it all comes down to the GPU, or lack of...
ya... I was looking at some benchmarks for the h6300 which included the XDA II; needless to say, the XDA II didn't do too well in the graphics benchmarks
Url ?
I think those graphic benchmarks focus on applications or games, otherwise I can't explain why the xda II is always getting bad marks. We shouldn't forget that the ati imageon chip is designed exactly for playing mpeg4, and if you got players like BetaPlayer you can see the difference when you switch the ati support on and off.
If the video is not much larger than 320x240, it can be downsized and is still running smoothly on the display. Sadly you have to reencode your movies, but it only takes one hour or so in virtual dub.
Now I think your 1 GB storage card won't be very useful when it comes to movies...
Another thing, I'm not entirely sure but I suspect the speed of the sd slot isn't fast enough to play movies beyond 800 kBit or so. So even if the cpu/gpu was fast enough, there would be no way to play most movies with variable bitrate, occasionally exceeding lets say 1200 kbit.
For those reasons, I think even if the backpack did it, I don't think you could watch movies on a big screen.
However, it's disappointing if even the 320x240 don't work, which run smoothly on the ppc display and are comparable to vhs quality. I can't test it but I get this impression from what I read here.
so is the backpack not a good investment if i wana play some videos on a tv/monitor? dose wmv make any diffrence? and would it work better on a xda 3? sounds silly but @ £60+ i wana know what ill be getting.

Just wondering...else I have to convert to 480p
Yes it supports 720p (and 1080p) movies.
you guys have to always remember that what it supports and what it can do flawlessly are two separate things....
720p videos films are playable but not the smoothest.
actually,For me,720p and 1080p vids played quite smoothly (maybe a tad slower than my iphone4 but nothing notable really)
Interesting, I didn't even try 720p. Good to know it works, but really it generally would be worth your time to convert. Huge waste of space if you don't plan on deleting it right after viewing.

I assume you used Zune to convert it, if the end file ended up being bigger than the original.
A properly transcoded video would be significantly smaller: a 720p video has 921600 pixels per frame, as opposed to the resolution of our Titans; 480x800. A wvga video only needs 384000 pixels per frame. Therefore a 720p video is roughly 2.4x larger than it needs to be as our screens cannot display pixels it doesn't have (and that's not even taking bit rate into account). The quality will actually be slightly worse on a 720p video because it will have to be scaled down to play on the screen, whereas a properly transcoded video would be 1:1 with the pixels on the screen.
I mentioned bit rate; I don't really know what a good marker for bit rate is, but when transcoding to a smaller resolution, you don't want to keep the original bit rate: that has to go down too. Bit rate plays into file size significantly, so in reality any 720p video is much more than 2.4x bigger than it needs to be.
I guess one of these days I'll play around with a transcoder and make a thread about how to properly convert a video for WP7.
I'm considering buying a Galaxy Tab 10.1 however if I'm buying one I want to be able to connect it to the TV (a 46" Samsung* 1080p LCD) and play 1080p x264 (most likely in mkv container) smooth. I've been looking for information but couldn't find consistance, some say it's laggy and some say that it works fine. Also does it output true 24p?
So I'm asking here, does it work today and is it pretty much flawless or should I wait a little longer and buy a Tegra 3 tablet?
*Not an actual Samsung branded TV but it's a "designer brand" TV and they use Samsung hardware, not that it would really be relevant in this case.

Nope. Tegra2 doesn't do 1080p well, and if you want "flawless" you're getting a bit ahead of the tech. I don't know how Tegra3 fares; I've heard it's better, but not flawless. I've never seen it myself, though. I'd suggest just getting a dedicated media streamer (Roku or ?) or a PS3 for that purpose.

I've already got an Sandy Bridge HTPC for stationary media playback. To be perfectly honest I would probably not use it that much on my own tv but when I'm over at friends, etc.
Does it do 720p well at least? Thinking mainly of h.264 TV-Shows like the ones you can buy in iTunes and such but probably one and another x264 in matroska container as well. Now I'm not thinking much of playback over HDMI but rather on the screen (which is 1280x800 so 720p would be perfect for that screen). Would be nice to be able to put some movies in 720p on a bunch i 32GB MicroSD cards to watch on flights, train-rides and such (I frequently travel 3-6 hours and watching movies on the cell phone is horrible, laptop works if there's a table and proper space but I feel that a tabelt would be better for the purpose).
If it at least does 720p well I'll probably buy one and have until there are tablets which can handle 1080p flawlessly.

Thanks for the information.
The decision is pretty hard, I previously had an iPad but hated it for several reasons. Some of them being that the screen is 4:3 & only 1024x768, your stuck with the Safari Browser which got the Safari css-sprite bug, Mail.app is useless in comparison to the Gmail app for android, especially if you're a apps user with several addresses and I get past all those with the Galaxy Tab however there are still some of the things that I didn't like which precist such as not being able to use it to watch 1080p movies on a FullHD-TV over HDMI, 10" is kinda big, it's not much smaller then my 13" MacBook Pro (8" would probably be more suitable for me), it's hard on the eyes as an e-reader and can't truly replace an E-Ink device, the usefulness of an tablet is kinda limited since an laptop is a better choice in many cases and the cellphone in most others.
I have to do some thinking (I will most likely end up buying one anyway and replace it with a smaller but specwise beefier device when "premium" 7-8" tablets who handles flawless 1080p starts popping up).
What about you who own this tablet, do you think it's worth buying one today? Is it the best tablet?
I've been looking some one the Asus Transformer Prime as well which is about the same price here but with Tegra 3, better battery life, better connectivity, keyboard dock with extra battery included. However I don't quite like that device as much, frankly the entire semi-ultrabook thing seems a bit silly especially since I've already got my 13" MacBook Pro for all the needs the keyboard-dock would fill, it doesn't look quite as good, it's wifi only (wtf!). It's a great product for all those who doesn't own a Ultrabook or similar notebook (maybe not a notebook at all) and need that but it could never replace a notebook, I already feel that the MacBook Air and Ultrabooks are to limited to replace my MacBook Pro so to replace it with a Tegra 3 semi-ultrabook would be unrealistic. Still if the Transformer Prime looked like the Galaxy Tab and had 3G it would seem like a wise choice (even if you'd throw away the keyboard dock).
If you are in the business for HD videos, go for an Archos G9. (Which will most likely get official ICS way before the GTab101, btw =/ )
They have 250gb!! models and provides flawless 1080p playback for almost any video format known to man and has a native micro HDMI port.
The 3G dongle should work with AT&T.
There's even 2 USB-Host ports!!; one full-size, one microUSB that needs a microUSB male/USB female standard adapter.
Support for USB keyboards, mice, wired LAN adapter, Hard drives.. name it.
If you're into videos more than games, it is THE way to go.
Some try to push tablets in a direction they really aren't suited to go and for some of us it's hard to relate to that. It seems that you have a firm grasp of the limitations and how they affect you though. If it doesn't fit you it just doesn't fit you.
To me it doesn't make much sense to put a lot of emphasis on playback of 1080p encoded video on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 since it is limited in storage space and isn't designed (AFAIK) to do USB host at the same time as HDMI out. Just copying a 2GB file onto this thing takes much longer than it would onto a USB powered external HDD so why would I load it up with a bunch of files when I could have those on a 500GB USB HDD and play them off of a Roku or something.
I do understand though that most who ask simply have a sizable library of 1080p rips already and for those folks I say tread carefully because chances are those files won't play back properly.
I love my tablet though, and carry it around nearly everywhere I go. For web browsing, scheduling, email and basic media consumption this thing is fantastic. I have a few of my son's current favorite movies on it just in case he needs a distraction (720p rips off of bluray) and I have a collection of my favorite TV shows from EZTV that I follow. Mizuu is fantastic at gathering movie and TV show data and presenting everything in an XBMC like interface.
Mizuu seems fantastic, but how can I make it find the stock I have on my NAS, for example?
Would that be possible? Using a CIFS manager, for example..
Thanks for the EZTV tip too; (who said it was tricky to find good Honeycomb apps?)

I'm not sure if anyone else pointed this out, but the GT10 doesn't have an SD slot (or microsd). There is a dongle for USB-host, probably would take a flash drive (or microsd in a USB reader) but as far as I'm concerned it sort of ruins the whole purpose of a tablet to have things hanging off of it (just my opinion). If you need more storage you should stream wirelessly (I never put media on the tab; google music, grooveshark, netflix, and allshare FTW!). Otherwise, go with something that has a bigger HDD or built-in SD reader (or just put up with either lower-res or less movies). The Archos isn't a bad suggestion for your purposes. As far as I understand, that thing is made for media. Of course, it's not as nice as the GT10 as a tablet (none of them are, including the transformer prime), but if you just want something for movies on an airplane, might make more sense.
Oh I didn't realise that it doesn't have an SD-Slot, thanks for pointing it out. That's kinda a dealbreaker for me. It's not a big deal normally as I stream most my media via Plex and music via Spotify but streaming is worthless both on trains and airplanes, even if they sometimes do got WIFI the speed is always closer to dial-up then broadband and useless for media streaming, even surfing the web is usually horrible.
Hello!
I'm asking the same question in all forums for tegra 3 devices cause I can't find any information using google.
Has anyone when connecting the prime via hdmi gotten 1080 with 24hz on your tv/display/projector/whatnot, not only 60 or 50hz?
I want to know if the Tegra 3 chip can output that kind of signal so you can get true 24p when watching movies.
I have not tested it myself, but my understanding is that the Prime will output 1080P video via the HDMI connection, as long as the video is on the Prime or SD card. I would assume that you'd be able to get higher frame rates if your video file and player supported it, but I would also have to think that a 240hz, (I assume you mean 240hz, as 24hz is way low) 1080P video file would be absolutely massive once it's stretched out to a full movie length. I remember the early demo videos for the Tegra 3 showed it playing (I believe) a 4K video loop via HDMI.

Thanks for answering! I mean 24hz not 240. 24hz is the standard for movies (24fps) and modern tv's and projectors must be able to receive a 24hz (or anything dividable with 24) signal for perfect playback. I guess you're not that familiar with video standards, but anyhow, if you watch a movie with 24fps (actually movies mostly are 23.976) with 60hz you get whats called judder as it has to do a pulldown and skip a frame every 48 seconds (I'm not sure it is 48) and then you get judder. Most people don't notice it but I have an eye for details and always see when video doesn't play smooth.

I am right, there's really nothing to argue about here, read this if you want to understand how it works http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24p
i know what I'm talking about. Sure some tv's have a good pulldown system, but you always want to prefer 24hz when watching movies (or as said before anything dividable with 24)
i don't have any issues at all, I think you completely misunderstand everything. I run xbmc and vlc for video playback, it works awesome on my pc connected to my projector with [email protected]
and WHY I want to know if the tegra 3 can do this is because I might want to book an Ouya and it's the last week for pre-orders and I can't find any info anywhere about wether it will support 24p. XBMC will soon be released for android and if I can't use the Ouya as both a gaming console and a media player I can't motivate getting one.
why do you keep saying 24 hz?
its 60 hz, 120 hz and 240hz these are the hz frequency that modern displays use interchangeably and out of those 3, they all display 24 FPS natively unless the file source that's being broadcast (or played from disc) is streamed in a higher FPS such as 30 or 60. most shows and DVDs are in 24 FPS simply because it provides a more cinematic experience but that's it.
there is no 24 hz... you are using some terms incorrectly from reading too much online and not understanding everything.
that link you referenced us using the term 24p in reference to 24 FPS which has to do with how many frames per second display on your tv which is NOT the same as HZ.
really stinks seeing people argue like they know what they are talking about when they don't because they read on wikipedia and misinterpreted the information.

Unless you live somewhere not in North America, or anywhere that uses NTSC guidelines, no electronic equipment runs at 24Hz.
The stutter you claim to be able to notice just happens, and that's about all there is to it.
For someone that claims to know what they're talking about, your lack of knowledge of very basic power terms is saddening.
However... one thing that may work is 240Hz. It is both a multiple of 24 and 60, therefore A couple TVs can run at it, I don't know if the tegra3 can output it.
However, since very few TVs can run at 240Hz, I'm doubting yours can, and then since your TV can't decode 240Hz, there is no point in this discussion.

120 is also a multiple of 24 . Just about all so-called 100Hz TVs sold in Europe are also 120Hz sets and will therefore handle material fed at 24fps with no issues - at least none that are related to frame rate/refresh rate issues.

Lol and to think, I'm in second year engineering. Guess that's what happens when you don't have a calculator. Lol.
The idea though is that at 60Hz, TVs display frames for 2-3-2-3....4 cycles, and this is what he's referring to. He wants to get rid of the extra frames and such.
Since its all dependent on the power fed into the TV, at 100Hz there is no way to eliminate the 3:2 cadence.

Fundamentally, you can get one frame per cycle. However, if the frame rate is low, the display will show the same frame for multiple cycles.

Edit - sorry. Displays show one frame per cycle. If the frame rate of the driving thing, movie or game or whatever is lower, the display will show the same frame for multiple cycles.
Edit 2 - the op mentions his PC driving his projector at 24Hz, but does not mention if its over HDMI, VGA or any derivative there of (DVI)
Afaik, HDMI does not allow one to modify the frequency.
Thread ressurection "rise from the dead".
of course 24hz IS 24fps ON the screen you are viewing. but that doesnt mean that the video was filmed in 24fps (almost all movies are though...although Hobitt is 48fps).
To be clear. If I take my Blu-ray and play it through my PC output at 24hz to my Vizio TV which can indeed display 24Hz, then bingo! I get a 24fps movie playing at a matched 24hz TV image (which flashes 24 times second). This synchonisity creates a very "movie like" experience.
Now, can a Nexus output at 24hz and do you have a cut that runs from a player at 24fps? I'm not sure. But Blu-rays will tell you is they work at 24hz (like Blad Runner does) and if you blu ray player outputs 24hz and your tv accepts 24hz, then your 24fps movie will look like it does in the theatre.
My samsung galaxt note 2 has a power saving move which cuts down the screen hz from 60 to 30 (or something like that) to save battery...so I know hz adjust,ent is possible ON the phones screen...but I imagine that its the video player itself and the hdmi out that handles sending a signal out at a specific hz.
I'm gonna dig arouund and look for a hack.
Hi all
What is the general consensus for the best resolution for playing movies on the tablet considering the screen it comes with?
I am heading overseas shortly and so wanted to look at whether I convert some of my large movies to a smaller filesize and if I do what resolution is ideal.
That of course could lead on to the app people use for said conversion (but that is very subjective to each individual).
Cheers
Well since our screen supports 1080P i would say that is also the ideal resolution now I don't think that your movies are any higher resolution than that so it is also very subjective what resolution is 'optimal' it will always be a tradeoff between quality and filesize, personally I don't really see that much difference between 1080 and 720. With 480p I do really see a difference. But I would say that is sufficient for your trip.

The ideal format for the XPERIA Tablet Z (and well any other modern tablet) is h.264 .mp4 AVC. The tablet's screen is WUXGA (1920x1200), so itnis perfect for 1080p. Sony's official whitepaper states the device supports up to 20Mbps, somI recommend encoding your video to that bit rate for maximum quality. A bit rate of 15Mbps is also a good compromise if you still want high quality, while 11.5Mbps is still ideal. 7.5Mbps 720p is also suitable if you dont mind sacrificing some quality.
I have an eye for low quality, but if you are dealing with feature length live action movies here, handbraking them to 10Mbps h264 1070p should do.
I myself use 15Mbps. I can provide a screencap of a 15Mbps video on the tablet if you want one.
So I just bought a Homido to use with the nexus 6p. It's fun but the resulting image isnt too sharp. I think this is because demo movies are 1080p generally and since our phone is quite big, the resulting image isnt too sharp. I wonder if someone knows a source for 1440p or 4k SBS movies to demo ? I couldnt find any myself. Not youtube but real movies for download, shot in QHD or UHD. Please share if you've found something in this thread, thanks !
Actually I'm starting to think there's currently just *no* SBS content higher than 1080p, even on the torrents I can't find anything higher than 1080p, that's quite a bummer ... Still, if someone knows a demo or something >1080p, please do share !
Actually so it seems the SBS format only goes up to 1080p24 ... Just starting to look into this, but wondering now if there's a format that supports higher resolutions ?
*EDIT* also just found this article, the makers of the Oculus rift say that 8k resolution per eye is needed to truely get rid of pixelation: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/...esolution-per-eye-isnt-enough-for-perfect-vr/ and the article makes a point that you need even a multiple of that to get rid of aliasing.
Oh and 500 fps, hehe.
That seems still quite a few years away, lol.
Currently virtual reality is interesting but I understand now we're still quite a few (probably 10) years away from hardware that can generate a really good VR experience. 1080p24 just isn't it....
To answer my own question:
Full SBS = 3840 x 1080 which exists but requires specialist playback equipment
Half SBS = 1920 x 1080 which is very widespread and also of course broadcast-able.
So Full SBS is actually 1080p *per eye*, so our display cant yield true full SBS unfortunately.
