As you know our phone isn't really equipped to play most videos we throw at it, so what video bitrate/resolution/framerate have you found to work the best on the Optimus one?
And please mention which software you use to convert.
THIS IS IT....
xvid codec 640*360 max with ~1Mbps and mp3/aac audio are played without conversion...(your Sitcom episodes)...
Havent TRIED h264 or DIVx playback ...on the box though it does say DIVX resolution upto 320*240..
files with ogg video(theora) and ac3 audio dont play without conversion
No 720p,1080p/i playback possible...FOR ALL HIGHER resolutions/bitrate u need to convert ..i have a personal converter favourite....hassle free and its just a GUI for the wonderful FFMPEG program...herehttp://miksoft.net
Really? Mine struggles to play 624x352 24fps .mkv files. Unwatchable.
Which video player do you use on your phone?
I use Handbrake for all my videos. Starting from the "iPhone Legacy" profile, here are the settings I use to create H.264 files:
- Video: 480 x 320, H.264 (x264) codec, 768 Kbps bitrate, FPS same as source
- Audio: AAC (faac), stereo, 44.1 KHz, 128 kbps bitrate.
Image and sound are crystal clear, but of course, you can find your own favorite settings (just don't mess with the advanced settings, our CPU only handles the basic H.264 profile).
I use RockPlayer (the free version) for playback, because it can render .srt subtitles.

Lol I m pretty sure its not mik's company and I never said I cud play mkv files ...that container is a ***** ..
Yeah it is. And thanks for that link, it works great.
I'm using the m video player. It is pretty good and plays with subtitles. Loving it. Just that the phone doesn't support higher resolution mp4 videos. Jus the audio plays and the video drags. I use demo player to play flv. Some videos play fluently while other drag and drag!!
Also ppl if you are into h264 (like masteryx is)
U could try "any video converter" here http://www.any-video-converter.com/products/for_video_free/
It is wonderful i m using it...At these setting
h264 778Kbps 480*320
mp3 48Hz 128kbps
in .avi container..Conversion is faster than handbrake

Hey...i am nt able to see any high resolution video sice past 10 days....i cud see those videos earlier bt nw whrnrver i wana play it gets stucked and then it sayd cant play video error 1,48...can u help me please?? :-(
I was wondering the same thing! *.mkv wasn't really a good experience on p500
Hi, hopefully you can help me with this.
I have been recording with my photo camera clip videos in AVI/Jpeg for several years, and I have a few of beloved clips on my desktop that I would like to watch on my galaxy S II. Dice and stock videoplayer cannot open the files, Mobo can, but the video is not good and the audio is not working at all.
I would like to know, if it is possible to install a codec or using a special videoplayer, or instead am I forced to convert the clips to another format supported by the phone?

Thanks for your replay. I tried rockplayer. Nice player, It works well for the video (software mode decoding) but the audio is totally corrupted. The audio format is PCM_u8 ([email protected]). The clip were taken with a Fuji F31, a best seller a few years ago, hard to believe it was recording audio in a so weird format that nothing can read it...

yeh..then mate u will be forced to change the format - convert the video(audio) in order to see it on SGS2. i am afraid.
galaxy s 2 supports such as MP4, DivX, XviD, WMV, H.264, H.263 video codec and MP3, WAV, eAAC+, AC3, FLAC audio codec. you need to confirm your AVI videos is one of them. both audio and video. if not, easier way is to convert them when player dont meet your want.
Video from Fuji F30
I've got the Fuji F30 with exactly the same problem: video playback somehow works -albeit jerky- but PCM audio doesn't at all. Is there a general problem with PCM decoding on android?
I tried both my Samsung Galaxy Tab and the Motorola Defy, both running gingerbread. I tried MoBo and Rockplayer. Stock player doesn't even open that video
It s an hassle having to re-encode your clips, but at least xilsoft or wondershare rippers worked well with me. Honestly the F30 serie cameras are out of date when it comes to video. Shame, because sensor quality is unmatched in a supercompact...
i have the TF101, which unfortunately only plays 720p and 1080p files very choppy (someone told me you you re-encode them for the tf101 but meh).
do you guys think the prime will bw able t play such MKVs with no issue? im talking about normal 72ßp/108ßp mkvs which you can dl all ovwer the net, not specially encoded ones.

Anandtech says it's amazing at playing high quality video. this was an issue for me.
http://www.anandtech.com/show/5163/asus-eee-pad-transformer-prime-nvidia-tegra-3-review/5
crap, guess now i have to buy the prime
Plus in the what would you like to know about the prime thread a member already tested this as he has a prime already. It was mkv and 1080p. Played flawlessly. He made a video on it. He has at least 3 you tube vids reviewing the prime hands on.
Check out his videos in that thread n you will see.

tegra3 has the ability to play high profile 1080p videos, the prime should do just fine with pretty much anything you can throw at it...
Tegra 3 may support 1080p and all, but question is, if default video player, that uses HW decoding, supports MKV format. My iPad 2 supports all kinds of HD, as long as it's in proper format. MKVs play very choppy if I use a player for any format other than iPad supported.

Default player doesn't even matter. Even if a format not supported, there are always 3rd party players which will. The member here that has a prime used a 3rd. Party player to play that 1080P MKV file. Which it played perfectly. No default player in any tablet plays all formats. That's the great thing about getting a good 3rd. Prty player that will.

default player plays the video fine, but for some reason theres no sound.
bsplay, mxplayer and rock player are all HD accelerated players.
When someone goes to play with a demo at gamestop, they should take with them a micro sd that has a high profile 1080p mkv and see how that plays on the prime. They should add other video players on the card and install them and see which one plays better with the high profile mkv. Yes I know that reviews have said this or that, but having someone that is not part of any review circle would be grateful to many.
I would do this but I'm not popping my head in that gamestop store after getting that dump.
this guy plays a high profile mkv in his review...

That guy posted two above you. lol
oh hahaha. wasn't paying attention i guess =P
I wonder how Prime will play avi files. I find that playing avi on TF101 is fine but the quality is very bad - I get a lot of artifacts - like it had a grid of dots over it. Probably because players use simplified decoding algoritms? Or maybe it's because Tegra2 lacks NEON? I also think it should be able to send 1080p signal to the screen even if the video is below 1080p (and different than 720p) - otherwise it will be scaled twice - once to 720p by the Prime and second time by the monitor itself - it will probably degrade quality. (well, but on the other hand I can just stick to 720p and 1080p videos which should be great)
Tegra3 does have NEON so no worries.

I had this same problem with a 1080p .MOV file off of my DSLR as well as a MKV file. I haven't tried mxplayer, but I will when I get home. I've been looking forward to being able to play MKV files without having to convert or manage with iTunes. Like Sinatra sang, "I'll do it my way!"
somehow I can't copy mkv to my asus prime... it keeps saying explorer error and it restarts the explorer
I have been playing around with my Prime for the last 5 days, especially in regards with video. Here are my findings:
- Not all files can be played back with HW decoding.
- mkv containers does not seem to be playable in the default player, only 3rd part, like mx video player.
- 720p mkv plays back almost flawlessly with some initial stutter in SW, 1080p does not.
- mp4 and avi seem to be HW accelerated by mx video player.
I am not entirely sure on what seem to be the problem. My initial reaction is that it is a problem with the container formats. However, I have not checked whether the videos, that I have tried to play, have some exotic encoding settings, which the software controling the HW decoder, does not recognize.
Perhaps mkw HW acceleration support broke in one of the updates I received, when I booted my prime for first time monday.
What are your experiences, especially with 1080p?

Will do when I get home. I will also try the same videos on my SGSII for comparison.
My hunch is that the hw decoder refuses to decode the video stream. Perhaps this is controlled entirely by the android system and not the video player app.
I put a bunch of videos on my new MicroSD that I got in the mail yesterday, and while all of them will run in Moboplayer (except for American Psycho which is in AVCHD in a .m2ts container), they all seem to stutter a bit.
So, I was wondering what is the most reliable video codec and container for the NT?
It says that it supports:
3GP, 3G2, MP4, M4V, MKV, WEBM, H.264 (Baseline/Main/High profile) up to 1920x1080, MPEG-4 Simple/Advanced Simple profile up to 1920x1080, & H.263
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
but H.264 seems to stop running every few seconds for me.
Quick edit: Just finished uploading an MKV file and it seems to be the best so far, although the subtitles are coming up even though I disabled them in Moboplayer.
Any other recommended video players perhaps?
i use mx video player personally
yea mx video player is most smooth IMO. If available SW Fast decoding provides best playback of HD files 720p or 1080p. Of course it drains more battery so yeah...
Just installed it and it's running much better than Mobo was for me, thanks you guys.
Any time. Btw handbrake is a great way to convert your dvd's to mkv or mpeg4 format. Blurays will be too large to play,but most dvd,s will be about 700meg. I also use anydvdhd to strip the drm. On the computer i also use media browser for listing the movies. Bluray dvd's i have are played with media player classic hd with shark 007 codec pack
I grabbed 2 Youtube music videos - one 720p and one 1080p - both mp4 files. They work with no issues with the B&N video player but mx video player installed from the market wont play them. I don't get any errors or warnings its just stuck there at 00:00 with no movement and a black screen with the video controls - all i can do is exit. If I am to install one of the codec packs from the market - arm6/7 etc - which one should it be? Not sure what the processor is!

I think its ARM7 you want to get.
Also, mp4 is only a container filetype. The codec used for compression is also important, for example HuffyUV, H264, X263.
yea i have a video thats an avi but it closes out any media player right away...just opens the player then closes lol

i have an avi on my NT and it loads fine. i think the previous poster was right about the codec. the codec is more important than the container. you might want to email the developers who made mx video player and ask them about it.
I need to run g-spot on it, it might have a weird codec or something
Been using Mx Video and it has worked with every video that I have thrown at it.
h264 codec is hardware accelerated in MX Video player. Even FullHD videos are played smoothly.
What container are you using? I can't get HW acceleration to work for any h.264 files in mkv, mp4, mov, or m4v. I use MX player and it kicks over to the SW decoder every time.
Here are my discoveries about HW video decoding in MX Player:
1. originally I uploaded some 1.5 gig MKV file downloaded from the web to SD card and tried to play it, but nothing happened - MX played it in SW mode.
2. Then, I created/converted some small video to MP4 (H.264 and AAC) and tried playing it with MX - and it worked fine
3. Strangely, but after playing hand-converted video MX started to play MKV, but with glitches...
So I think MX has some bugs when run on NT or it is not fully compatible with NT.
EDIT: ArcSoft Media Converter was used...
I'm using mx video player and it does a decent job on 720p and 1080p
Playback with soft decoding.
What Have u guys found? Can u recommend anything better?

Try BSPlayer (free on the market).
I've only found 1 video so far that it refused to play.
BSPlayer has played everything I've thrown at it.
i played a 16gig bluetooth rip of the matrix last night on my tab over my home network on my TV. it was glorious. this is why i bought this tablet
I use MX Player but still trying to find a player that will play 10bit 720p files correctly
Dice Player worked for me for 720 and 1080

No luck with MoboPlayer?
dice player worked for me. Loaded ironman 2 1080p into my SD card, and played flawlessly. Dice is only a HW player though so when I play my avi files, sometimes I usually need to use MX player.
What is the quality of AVI videos when you play it? I had problem with quality on original Transformer - a strange grid of dots all over the movie in most players (in one there was no grid but the movie looked like i had 100 colours at most).

Nope ill try again I was testing a ton of video players the other night lol
Just played three of my 720p high profile MKV movies using BS Player with no problems at all. My Xoom cannot play these. Very happy about this and was one of my biggest gripes about Xoom/Tegra 2.
I downloaded a 14gig MKV (the movie was 300) and played perfect on the tab with the file local on its HD. Streaming.. I need more bandwith for that
