Hi guys,
first of all appologies for sounding naive well i saw many places about review of videos in 720p and 1020p hd wel but when i record something it just records i dont see any option of 1020 or 720p and my videos are recorded in .3gpp is that correct?i thought the extension should be .mp4
Sorry again to boder if its very silly
galaxy s2 android 2.3.5 non rooted
It's not 3gp. At least if you're using the stock camera, without some weird settings. Can't you change the resolution in the camera settings? It should be somewhere on the on-screen settings.
Yes i can c few optns of resltns max is 1920*1020 ok i so tats 1020p but dude my format is 3gpp not 3gp nor mp4 and all factory setings apart from upgrading to 2.3.5 i did nothing
Mine is also 3gpp. I've checked a video's detail info of an old one, my first video taken with this phone before doing any official update, and it's also 3gpp format. But if i remember well it was mp4 when i checked back then...maybe it'a a "video info" problem than an extension one.My question is,why is it bothering you since I ,personally,didn't notice any quality difference?

In my case I cannot stream video via Allshare to my TV as 3gpp is not supported. And no - I do not want the added hassle of transcoding something that worked before.

Hi everyone, is it possible to play 720p (1280×720) movie on X10 smoothly? If so then which program did you guys use to convert and which encode did you use? Because I did try both .mkv and MP4 H.264 encoded and it seems to be lag or super slo-mo alike. Really appreciate with any help from you.

Ya u could download the apk file called rockplayer.apk and install it and throw any file in your memory card and this app will play it smoothly
I did use Rockplayer to play but the result was somewhat unsatisfied. I got lag and slow motion video play
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
You could try yxplayer, but that's probably going to do the same thing...
So noone suffers the same prob as me? Everyone can play HD video smoothly. Can I ask which codec did you use? I used MP4 H.264 one
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I have the same prob.
Lag on rock player playing 720.
Just like lag in phone overall
Can I ask why you need HD playback on a none HD display? You would not see any difference from a 720p file to a 854X480 file regardless.
The Ironman file I encoded to the proper size plays perfect and I cannot tell the difference from source (720p). Encoded MP4 H.264 with Videora.
I just tried, and in mp4 format, it lags significantly (like it plays between 7-19 fps), but I converted the same file to DivX, picture and sound quality looked exactly the same and it plays perfectly fine at full frame rate.
Well, probably the 2.1 update will bring something to play HD video, since the X10 will be able to record HD video. At lest it is logical.but who knows, maybe we ll record on our X10 the video and watch it on a hd tv. i hope i am wrong.

Yeah. Hopefully you are wrong. That would be stupidity redefined.
Coming back to the playback issue. It's the same thing here. I got the best performance with rock player, which managed to play a couple of hd files.but mostly even rock player is too laggy.

My thoughts exactly. Unless we're able to output and watch these files on our HDTV's, whats the point of needing to watch a 720p file on a 854x480 screen that isn't HD? Makes no sense to me...but to each their own.
I recall reading the update info on SE blogs that we will apart from HDrecording also get wireless video out, i'm guessing we'll need to buy some reciever for our tv's for it to work.

Personally I want to be able to play 720p video on my phone because that's what format the majority of my video is and I'd like to be able to play it without transcoding
That said, If I remember correctly the snapdragon has a hardware video decoder capable of playing 1080p @ 30 fps so it is probably a 1.6 related issue.
hi mate i just got the phone today its amazing for i have a question whats XDA App that u use for transfer the file i guese??
My guess is that these video players do not have access to the GPU for hardware acceleration, which would mean the CPU would have to do all the hard work (don't forget, playing HD video IS hard work for any mobile device). Whether that would be an Android 1.6 restriction, I don't know.
anybody looked at the bitrates of these videos?
a bitrate of 8,000 in comparison to a bitrate of let's say 1,000 would make a bit difference... am I wrong?
Also, if you are using the stock CLASS 2 memory card, then playing high bit-rate files will be problematic.
I know that you guys don't want to transcode, but 720p really kills battery.
I haven't tried on my new 16GB class 2 card, but with the 8GB that came with the phone I got smooth playback with 720HD with these settings:
MP4:
ffmpeg
1500kbps for video
48channels or whatever it is
160kbps sound
1280x720 pixels

Does x10i plays full HD videos?
If yes then is.there any specific video player to play it?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Yes ofcourse it does, only with 2fps
Haha is there anyway to play it properly? Smoothly?
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Atleast with the 2.2.1 rom, it plays 1080p quite nicely. IF and ONLY IF, it can use hardware decoding, which requires the video to be in h264 or mpeg4 in mp4 container and even then, it's still some settings that needs to be set specificly and stuff but I dunno what those restrictions are exactly and from searching for several days, I have found noone that knows that. I've come to the point where basicly, I just try and see if a video works.. Sometimes it does, sometimes it dont. If not, reencode to mpeg4 using SUPER using "No change" as the aspect, and it works fine to play after that..
dude seriously why the hell do you want it to play full hd? your resultion is around
850 x 480
you really want to play a video with 1920x1080 ? if you got at least 10 gig of space on your sd card for one movie you can try it ... but be warned ... your watching a "high quality" video that gets shrunk so it can fit on your "tiny" screen ....
edit: just download Super (http://www.erightsoft.com/SUPER.html) and optimize it for your phone ... so you always have the perfect resolution (no scaling)
Yes it dose smoothly...use Vplayer....
I know a lot of you are thinking this has been addressed before but my problem isn't getting the video to play in entertainment center mode but the audio.....
But the thing is that it will only play sound in video's i recorded with my camera.
What im trying to do is play videos that i have taken from my computer and put them onto my ext sd card.
So like i say the video is just fine but it will not play back with audio.
Oh and they are avi and mpeg formats
Any ideas guys and gals?
The Tegra 2 seems to have crappy video/audio codec support. The samsung processor in the captivate I had previously played everything I could throw at it.
Thankfully, the T2 is powerful enough to do some software decoding. Try using various video players. I find that MoboPlayer can run all my HD videos so far.
Also, just because a file is .Divx, .AVI, .mkv.... doesn't mean that it will play. As far as I know, there are different encoding formats and levels for each codec. The T2 seems to be okay with any basic file, but none of the highly processed files such as movie mkv's.
If you try download another programe in market you would can see
But we can't do the dane for media center....so the better you can do for now is convert your vídeo tio an old codec

I've been using Handbrake and the settings from here:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/motorol...d_transfer_them_to_the_motorola_atrix_4g.html
The only difference is that I like to click the "keep aspect ratio" button in handbrake for the resolution. Tweak as you like, but I've found that if you use the constant quality setting, A/V gets out of sync. Biggest bummer is that I have to encode specifically for the Atrix...can't seem to use my "advanced encoded" videos from my media server. I have taken previously encoded 1080p HD movies back though handbrake with the referenced settings to the Atrix and they play beautifully both in MoboPlayer and the Entertainment Center.
Okay so I didn't really think I would have this problem with this phone. I put a mkv video on my phone and I went to go watch it but it stutters I'm not sure how to explain it but it's really choppy. It doesn't complete freeze though. I was using this in the stock video player. This was because I wanted to try pop up play. So I was bummed that I couldn't use the stock player which is the only one that does pop up play. So I tried mx player but it also has the same problem playing back the video. Wth can the s3 not handle mkv videos? I didn't have this problem on my note. Does anybody else have this also? Is there a fix or something? The screen is beautiful but it's not smooth playback its too choppy.

Need more information. MKV is a container codec, not a video or audio codec. What is the video and audio codec, and is it using something like 10bit color?

I've seen that happen on Epic Touch with most mkv format videos.
Try RockPlayer.
Yeah I was also having problems with certain video files. A couple of .m4v's that I tried to put on my phone would crash the video app if I put in or pulled out my headphones while the video was playing. Seems to be isolated to particular file types/codecs.
what is the res of the video you are trying to watch. what is the actual video codec on it and are there subtitles?
You could try VLC for android:

Try something for me , connect phone to your PC thro USB , and then try playing video on your phone , report results ?
I'm not sure how to see what is the actual video and audio codec, how do i check it?
The video files are mkv 720p blu ray rips.
I tried connected my phone to my pc via usb and tried playing video like you said and i couldnt really see a difference.
I think we need to wait for the video player app developers to produce extensions that work with or provide true hardware acceleration for our new hardware, the best player I've found right now for the GS3 is BSplayer lite.
Ironically BSplayer gave me the worst performance on the GS2.
anyway try BSplayer lite on your GS3.
720p bluray rips will kill most portable devices they are MUCH higher bitrate than a standard 720p movie. you need to downsize them if you want to play them smothly
Try MXplayer with their ARM7 codec pack.

I just converted a bluray movie down to 1280x536 with Handbrake and it plays like butter.

I also experienced problems with the 720p .mkv files I ripped my blurays to for portable use - but moreso with sound being out of sync with the video. I had the same problem with my GS2 when I upgraded to 4.0. I re-ripped my whole collection using the same compression rate into .mp4 and they all play flawlessly now. Anything I have that is .mkv simply doesn't play nice on both my GS2 and GS3 with 4.0.

MKV is not a codec...it's just a container format like AVI.
From my experiance/experimenting biggest culprit is always "stagefright" being enabled , screws up hardware decoding on many levels. On my ATT GS3 , it was enabled by default, i could not play my 720p 60fps music videos , i got "Blade Buddy" it lets you mess with some system settings easily (however i dont know witch setting specifically triggered it), after messing with it and doing soft reboot , my GS3 now performs as it should , can play even higher then 720p , latest one i tried was 1440x810 @ 60fps High profile H264 , all smooth and nice , [email protected] was to much though , all common <=30fps videos play problem free.
In Blade Buddy under Basic settings i toggled off "Compatibility Mode"
Under Advanced settings i toggled off stagefright , then hitting menu button clicking apply , and selecting soft reboot.
There must be something wrong with your setup or codecs or i dont know what because i have a NAS and i STREAM 720p blu-ray rips of about 5gbs a movie off my HDD attached to my router, i stream them and get 0 lag, even when i advance the movie, it takes 1/4 of a second to buffer and play the movie, and again i get 0 lag. i use BS player Lite
so its not the phone, trust me
I have played mkv videos and I have no problem ... the video format is hd 720 mp4
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
So it seems that some people can play 720 blu ray rips just fine with no problem while others can't and need to change the format. I find this rather odd. I haven't tried streaming these videos but ill try and report back but I think it would be worse because if it can't handle playing from the device the added pressure of streaming would make it worse. Somebody mentioned audio being out of sync, I don't have that problem at all. And it's not like the video is severely laggy its like it plays but it stutters as it goes to the next frame its so hard to explain ill see if I can record it and show you guys.

for a 720p bluray rip/hd rip movie, i still run it through handbrake to get the file size down. i set res to 1280xtakewhatevericanget from the original source. output as mp4 in that case (still h.264). i tend to crank the audio up a bit too, since it helps on airplanes or whatever with movie dialogue.
i haven't really tried dragging over a full on 4+gb 720p blu ray rip .mkv file...then again mtp sucks ass, so i'll do anything i can to get file size down.

Fat32 maxes out with 2GB files.
it's not the mkv that's causing it's issue, it's what's inside the mkv that's causing the problems. not just codec but bitrate and other small things could matter. Also, if it's software and not hardware like the ipad, even if meets the criteria hardware wise, it can cause an issue.

Hmm, the video is in 3gp format, but it really looks good in outdoors shots. The video is 3gp but the quality is excellent. I tried converting my videos with my professional video editing software to .avi and it really looked good, even on my Sony Full HD Smart TV. I am using the stock camera on my 2.3.4 GB and no, I haven't tried a camera app yet. Not sure which one to try...???

I apologize if I misinformed implying that recording was by default mp4--it does as you say record 3gp--could it be that mp4 was introduced with ICS? Mine is running the ICS update and records mp4, but I don't recall the options from back with GB.
Here's a quote:
"1. Some Android phones may provide support for additional formats or file types not listed in the table. Similarly, some video formats may only be supported by later Android versions."
From page:
http://www.wondershare.com/convert-video-audio/htc-video-format.html
I don't know if it relates. Maybe you can upgrade your phone to ICS with an official update?
As for apps, I haven't used any, though they're easy enough to check ratings and specs at the Play Store.
Can't make any recommendations, however a simple search turned this up, for example:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera
Some people have remarked about cameras in the forums, you can do a little poking around.
Good luck.
[email protected] posted this just today:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51089249&postcount=41
There is another way If you don't want to upgrade to ICS,
Recording your videos in .3gp, then converting .3gp to .mp4. Since HTC Amaze GB 2.3.4 supports MP4 format.
Here is also a quote:
"It's the wisest choice to convert 3GP to MP4 for playback on most popular players and devices."
From page:
faasoft.com/articles/3gp-to-mp4.html
In this way, you don't need to upgrade your phone OS, and also can play your 3GP files on your other devices.
I believe if you upgrade to ICS, the problem will be gone.
Since I had the very same problem
