Happens that, in my Atrix with Stock Rom With the Latest OTA, when i download a 720p mp4 video with the Keepvid app, The system player simply says that it cant play it. if i download the normal version, without 720p it works. i've searched for it here and other forums and it says about of the video encoding being H.264. then they reached the conclusion that tegra 2 cant decode it natively... okey, but i went to the acer iconia tab of my brother who has the same tegra 2, and it played the 720p flawlessly, with the stock player! the same video! it cant be hardware if that worked.. do anybody know if this is just disabled in stock? or maybe a feature of Android 3.0+ ? Thanks in advance
Comeon people nobody ever tried this?

My first post on forum, my first tablet and first android device in general =)
First of all, thank you guys for all that great job.
Now the question:
I flashed my G-Tablet with vegan-tab 5.1.1 + supplement update + pershoot's OC Kernel 1.4 (set it with setCPU)
Tried to test HD video on youtube (720 & 1080) but it is laggy as hell (image stutter, audio/video asynchron.), tried stock browser and dolphin HD. 480p plays fine.
I know that froyo ROMs shouldn't have problems with hardware decoding or flash video is another story and all that is normal for g-tablet?
Thanks for quick reply
I don't think hardware acceleration will help with flash content. But I could be wrong.
thank you
anyone else?
I've been wondering about this myself. Is there a native YouTube app that has an option for HD playback? I know there are froyo/gingerbread "YouTube HD" apks floating around from a few of the EVO roms.
It seems ridiculous that a Tegra 2 chip wouldn't be able to handle downscaling 720p to our 1024x600 screen.
I have gtabcomb 3.3 on 1.1 and I have the same problem
Is there an hc from that work?
I currently have 'VEGAn-TAB ROM BETA 5.1 FINAL' installed as of yesterday and it's already crashed while I was watching a video. I know Gingerbread doesn't have video acceleration so I would like to avoid that if possible.
They're all pretty darn stable. And they're all listed at my site.

It may not be the rom that caused this...what video player was being used? what file format was the video in? when did you select if you were given the option of hard coding or soft coding? Where there are plethora of apps running in the background? What exactly was the "crash, forced reboot, lock up, video/audio distortion? Did the video file play properly on another device, ie your computer?
There are many players out there, some work well, some work kinda "eh." Some can't handle some video formats, some can play them, but not properly. Some vieo formats require decoding, hard or soft (I like hard when speaking of ice cream, but software decoding ususally works for my videos).
I'm using BC (the 1.2 version of VEGAn 5.1.1), and rockplayer to play video. I've been thinking of trying moboplayer, since it seems to have received rave reviews on this and other forums. I've been able to play .avi files with software decoding. MP4 files play fine, but the quality isn't as good..they're made for mobile devices with really tiny screens.
When I rip or download a movie, I almost ALWAYS make sure that it runs fine on my Acer netbook (same screen size) to get a general idea of what I can expect on the G-Tab.
in a nutshell, your issue may not be the rom at all...VEGAn 5.1.1 is probably one of, if not THEE most stable 1.1 based rom out there.

Thanks! I looked at the site.It is a darn good site.
I understand due to the lack of driver source code that Hardware acceleration will not work on our tabs past 2.2(froyo). But I am currently running Calkulin+Clemsyn 1.5ghz Froyo Combo VERSION 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1024120 and I have tried at least 20 diff videos and diff formats using hardware codec and not one video played. I know you can use apps to play videos with software codecs but when you start going into 720p and 1080p videos the video slows way down. So is there something I'm missing? I thought the tegra 2 could handle 1080p decoding? If there is another ROM that can do HD decoding better please let me know cause video playback is what I use my tab the most for. Thanks for any help and sorry for the wall of txt lol.
Will punch the thanks button!!!
Edit: Ok after several trial and error's on trying pershoot's kernel I decided to go ahead and re-encode my videos using Freemake video converter. It works and the quality actually looks better! This program is free and it has Android presets for our tablets so that you get the best video quality at our resolution! Now I would still like to use pershoot's kernal but I can't find any froyo roms that has his/her's kernel already packed into the rom. If some one could please help me with finding one that would be super! Thanks soooo much!!!

Hmmm....well I guess I'm gonna have to choose between video acceleration or a stable ROM? :/ lol is there a custom rom with hardware acceleration? Thanks so much for the answer
I used Calkulin's ROM along with whatever current kernel Pershoot had and I never had any issues with and HD videos. You might want to give one of Pershoot's kernels a shot.

Why not re-encode to a lower resolution? The GTab can't even play 720p without resizing, which is what's killing you.
1024x600 - that's the screen size. Re-encode your HD video to be under that. It will play like butter. And be considerably smaller.

Why would they say you can play up to 1080p video, if you really cant? lol Also does it matter if its 600x1024 or 1024x600? The reason I ask is because I see it different all the time lol And one more thing, What program would you suggest to re-encode? Thanks so much for everything!
Edit: Ok so I tried pershoot's newest kernel out and I love it! I get some video acceleration back and it also fixed some sound issues I was having. The only problem is that after I install the kernel it boot's up fine but if I reboot, it gets stuck in a boot loop. If I do a factory reset it will boot back up again. but if I reboot then it gets stuck in a boot loop again. So with that said I don't think this kernel is meant for this ROM. What is the best froyo ROM that includes pershoot's kernel? Thanks for everything!!!!
Hey all.
I have Quadrant Score up to 2825 @ lazy 1,4GHz - [email protected] / RieGo Kernel 0.5 without GPU OC
It runs really fast and smooth...
But my Tab is unable to play some Flash Videos (no HD... think 640x480 or less) in Fullscreen without stuttering.
On my SGSII (2.3.4 Stock) the Same Movie runs without any problems.
Honeycomb or Flash issue? Tab to slow?
Disgusting... :-(
Any Ideas to optimize the performance from the tab without changing the Rom?

Thats not tab's mistake. I m in china and they have one website called youku just like YouTube. Its big website and when i try to play video it stutters so much. But when i play videos in other websites like engadget its just flawless. So i think its problem of some websites flash or JavaScript. I guess so.
But the exact Same Video from same Website runs without Problems on my SGSII.
And its not a problem with the Connection... only with fullscreen it stutters! Without fullscreen it plays okay.

If these videos are HQ videos, then the problem is caused by the lack of OMX codecs for your device (armV6 on ICS lacks these codecs).

Thx for your earlier reply. So how can i upgrade that code or any solution for that?
the lag is because hq videos use divx codecs which is found on higher end phones........no way of upgrading it....google search for supported codecs for your device.it will be in spec list...then convert it the res supported by your device(also found in spec list) it will 320x240 like this....and choose your device's codecs using format factory or any other video converters...copy it to your device and enjoy

Qualcomm has not released the codecs for armV6 instruction set devices running ICS (because of incompatibility), so there is no way to update them.
