1080p Playback on the Transformer Prime - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I've ripped some blu-rays without any converting, just in its natural state to the prime and it plays very choppy and laggy.....I have some blu-rays that I ripped to 720p for my Acer Iconia A500 and they play perfectly...Is that my only real solution to getting the best quality video I can for the Prime?

Are you using the native player? Have you tried Dice player? It's one of the best players to use. I haven't had any issues.

I did try Dice player last night, seems like the only available version is there AD version and it had choppiness as well....I'll try it again though after work and see if there is any improvement

I'm using BSPlayer. It works great and there isn't a big ad on the screen when you are trying to watch a movie.

---

mobo player is another good one also

---

Try MX Player, I have found it to be the best free player available.

Ill have to try that out, hopefully it works well, I see it has support for up to ARMv7 and the prime is Arm Cortex A9 but if its working great for you then its worth a try

---

Thanks everyone, Im going to end up trying them all lol Ill let you know which works best or if I have to just start converting to 720p to get normal play back

Also make sure they are using HW decoding n not SW. if you playback movies on prime in SW it will more than likely be choppy.
one of those apps should work well as there has been several who played back 1080P on prime flawlessly with no chop or lag.

I just use the free one. I haven't seen a reason to pay for it yet. Its called BSPlayer Lite

You do realize the native resolution of your Prime is 1280x800 right? Not much point in trying to play 1080 vids, brah. Just rip and encode to 720, you wont see any difference and your Prime will thank you.

You will if you hdmi out to a 1080p tv.

If were talking ripping and encoding blu rays your computer is much better suited to the task of 1080p playback. Tegra 3 may technically be capable, but that doesn't mean it's up to the task. With proper codecs I've gotten 720p out of a GMA 500 chipset on my old Viliv X70, fried it in the process though.

Get MX Player and the ARMv7 plugin. I use my Prime to play 10-20GB 1080P High profile Blu-Ray files (mkv's)

1080p
I've been doing video captures for my site that just getting off the ground and I use a mixture of 1080p and 720p encoded using H.264 and WMV. My bit rates vary from 8000kbps to 15000kbps and mine doesn't have any problems.
Like others here have said a.) check your player but also b.) try a lateral convert into a different file format. Not sure what you're using but something else may perform better. Lastly c.) You could downconvert to a lower resolution, which isn't ideal, but try just lowering the bit rate a bit. That may help as well.
Not sure the bit rates on Bluray.... 20-25000kbps?
Hope those ideas help

I streamed an 18gb blu ray rip of the fifth element from my laptop to the prime, played it through the hdmi out to my TV, and it was perfect. I used bs player.

>Not sure the bit rates on Bluray...
Max Blu-ray bitrate is 40Mb/s. BD ISOs are usually 30-40 total. Another factor is how well the player parses the M2TS container.
Teg3 should be sufficient for "normal" 1080p rips (10-15 Mb/s avg), but probably not ISOs. You can try and find out. Below is a video test I made for OMAP 4430, but should work as well for the Teg3.

Clips use MP4 to test solely for video performance, rather audio or container parsing. Use standard Android player to remove 3rd-party software variability. Suggest testing with 1080p_max and 1080p_master clips.
The max clip tests for worst-case 1080p rips. The master clip has original ISO BD video. Per bitrate graph below, the max clip will hit 30Mb/s in a couple of places, so should be a good test.
My gauge is that Teg3 should handle the max clip, with perhaps some frame drop at the 2 bit spikes. The master clip will likely cause more stutters.

Doesn't marketplace say in description only install plugin if the actual app tells you you need to? I guess you won't know until you try to play that file.

Just like e.mote said. You are probably trying to play a 1080p with high bitrate.
40mbs+. Convert and be sure its within reasonable mbs specs. You can play
1080p video fine you just need to be sure it is of the proper bitrate. TONS of
programs you can use. Handbrake is best to convert. I have an IPAD2 and
alot of my 10GB+ bluray rips I just use Airvideo to convert. I am lazy. and
airvideo has option to just convert any .mkv to m4v. with the Airserver.
Only android program that comes close is PLEX! It can stream alot of your
1080p on the fly without convert... just like airvideo. Try it if you want to
just stream without converting.
Of course quality is not going to be the best like using a converted 1080p
and using Diceplayer! Diceplayer is the best HW accelerated program I
have used. I tried all the rest. Be sure to install the Tegra 2 plugin as well.
that could be your problem. In this setup I usually use Estrongs file
explorer to pick a 1080p from my home network. STREAM a 1080p video
within the proper bitrate specs to Dice. Works fine. Works better and
higher bitrate 1080p if I convert using handbrake and download it to
a Highspeed microSD card... play on dice... GL

Tested both - max and master. For me both videos are smooth without any stutter.
