Video playback is upside down - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This may sound stupid but when I upload recorded videos from the phone to computer, the video is upside down. Why? It's oriented correctly on the phone.
How can I fix the video without downloading some video editing program?

Is this also the case when you record a video while the home-button is on the right during recording?

I don't know. Haven't paid attention to that. I figured that either way the phone is positioned, the video shoots right side up. Guess I'm wrong?

I have the same problem, tried it both ways and the video's show correctly on the phone (autorotate with phone), but on PC (Windows 7) one is correct and the other is not. The weird thing is that when uploaded to youtube they do show correctly, so I am thinking there is probably some metadata information about the orientation the video was shot at that some videoplayers (WMP, VLC, MPC) do not take into account but youtube does.

Best video player?

What is the best video player that works pretty good on the atrix and plays a good number of different formats
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Mobo Player
Second that, free, stable and feature rich
mVideoPlayer. Never failed me.
Hi there, I think I might try out these recommended video players. But before I do, I wondered if anyone could let me know why the videos I'm copying across to the phone (divx AVI episodes of TV shows downloaded via BitTorrent) don't stretch to the full size of the screen?
I have tried RockPlayer and yxplayer and what appears to be the standard 'video player'. yxplayer doesn't appear to do anything (or can't play divx AVI files), the other two play it in the centre of the screen with heaps of space around the sides.
When I play the same files on my TV through my PVR, they stretch to fit my TV screen dimensions and look really sharp. Was hoping the same would occur on the phone, so I would have something to watch on tomorrow's interstate flight.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also try qqplayer which can actually play a 1080p mkv file. though it will run very slow it still tries at least unlike most players!
Anyone know of any player that can fill the screen WITHOUT stretching the picture (in other words, it zooms in to fill the screen). I had that on windows mobile but have never found an Android player that does this.

Try taking a look at arcMedia.
Mobo Player.
I prefer mVideoplayer because it will display the folders that I have my videos in. I have over a 100 tv episodes for 7 to 8 different shows and not having them organized by folder drives me crazy.

Try using the soft-decoding for the file or possibly re-encoding it.

MX player is the best. It is free.

Squashed YouTube upload after Video Maker

Cant find anything using the search, sorry if there is already something.
When I upload video to youtube from the phone it is fine. As soon as I edit the video in Video Maker and upload it, it squashes it at the sides.

use video converters found in this thread and use it to resize:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263350
the thread is for different purpose (ignore that). use the softwares.
I had the same problem, I had to add yt:stretch=16:9 to the videos tags on youtube. It stretches it out but still gives a screwy preview image.
I found that this problem only occurs when exporting the video on 1280720. All other resolutions are fine. Hopefully Samsung will fix this problem.
Just tested with latest samsung firmware (2.3.4). Problem is still there, your fixes still work. I will use the 720x480 res fix.
Thanks.

slightly laggy video playback

I'm noticing that videos recorded on the device are slightly laggy on playback. It seems to happen at some points. A restart helps, but I don't know why its happening. Other full hd videos play smoothly and I have tried other video players with no luck. Verizon galaxy s3.
Is it ones that you record? If so is it on1080p?

Yeah just in the videos that I record on the device. yes full hd 1920x1080. Everything is on default.
I'm having this same problem, any ideas?

Do you find them laggy on the stock video player? I find that they do stutter a bit on third party video apps, but they're perfectly fine on stock video player.
Yes, on the stock player. I took some video of my son the other day and when I played it back for my mom, it started stuttering at the end. But, I just played it for myself yesterday and it worked fine. Not sure what's up.

I've found a work around,it sucks but if you record in 720p the video that you record wont lag at all, I've called Samsung they said to try a factory reset. But I'm not going to I'm OK with my 720p. Hope this helps you guys out, if any body trys a factory reset and it works please come back and let us know.

I have noticed that ocassionaly the last couple frames stutter. But I've recorded a lot of 1080p videos and no other problems playing back on stock player. 3rd party video players on the phone are hit and miss tho (mostly miss).
I'm running into the same problem. It seems to be the player. When I upload the videos onto my pc they playback smoothly but when I play them on the stock player on the phone it lags badly.

Sometimes, you need to change the decoder method. You can either do that from the menu or from the upper right hand corner (although from there I believe it only changes for that particular video while changing it from the menu changes the default).
