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

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

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.

Thank you very much guys, at least now I know I'm not the only one who suffer. Maybe I will try different codec like DivX for example

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

Hello Guys,
Just wanted to know if Dell Streak can play 1080p or 720p Videos or not?
I tried playing mp4/ avi files using Rock Player, they worked with lag, is there any work around?
Have you enabled the hardware acceleration in the build.prop?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
I convert them to .mp4's to watch on my Streak.
The Streak is only 800x480 so theres no point trying to play a 1280x720 video.
A converted 720p .mkv file is soooo much better quality than its .avi counterpart.
I use the Touch HD Encoder, a very simple and effective program.
Can I ask what program u guys use to convert the video files?
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
i use Rock Player from Market to play video files; i try 720p and 1080p mkv movies with subtitles and works perfect 100%, like on computer with hd video card .
there is a great program in the forum called "Encoder" - I have used it to convert videos to mp4 for all my previous phones to play without any lag.
I use arc media player, not come across a file yet that it wont play, everything from avi, to mkv to mp4, in any definition. Great apparently and its free!
Sorry if this is OT:
I am having issues getting my DVDs converted to digital on my desktop. I was trying to use handbrake, but it always came out funny (jagged sound and large rainbow pixels across the screen). I assume this is some kind of copyright protection.
Right no I am desperate to convert my library to digital back ups that I can toss on and off my devices at will. Any insight on how to solve my problem would be great.
I used Handbrake without any probs - did you choose the best settings? I used Presets Normal, Video Codec Mpeg-4 & Picture Size Custom - I resized using Aspect Ratio.
I followed a couple guides online. I m not even talking about it getting to the phone, it won't even play on the desktop.
So far I ve used these settings:
720x480
264
mp4
EDIT: Just for clarity. Should I be using VLC since Handbrake does not decrypt? (I read this after a google search please inform me if I m wrong).

Hi
Can you let me know how you got this to work
I tried to use the Dice Players directions

I get as far as trying to backup the original codec module and keep getting a Permission denied message
Any help would be much appreciated
Many thanks
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.

I apologize beforehand if my questions could've been posted on some of the other video threads.
I was wondering how well the NT plays divx/xvid and mkv files. From what I understand certain people have had issues with these files. Can someone please elaborate? No subtitle or multiple audio support on the stock player I'm assuming...
Also can it play both normal profile and high profile h.264 videos?
Also can you stream locally shared video files without using a sideloaded app?
Hi,
I am trying to find out following: I would like to find out if I can use Galaxy Tab 10.1 to play video on my HDTV (Full HD via HDMI adapter). However almost all the apps that I have seen seem to produce dropped frames or problems with sync with audio/video during playback for number of mkv/mp4/avi media files. Only few full HD videos played properly while most of 720p/1080p had poor playback. So I am looking for an advice:
1) Will updating to ICS/JB (now only custom roms available) as compared to original HC help with video playback?
2) Are there any apps that you found that can play most of full hd videos? Friend of mine have tried almost all the popular ones but could not get any of them to play properly most of the full HD videos?
3) Will overclocking help with decoding? I saw several posts that indicate that some custom roms support overclocking. In some cases I got SW based playback to give almost good playback (HW based decoding did not work in all cases).
4) What is proper approach for mounting external drives that are in formats such as NTFS/exFAT? I am looking at this as some files might be bigger then 4GB limit of FAT32.
5) Is there a device that I can stream to 1080p from Galaxy Tab 10.1? Of course assuming that Galaxy Tab 10.1 can stream 1080p...
6) Do you have any other advice?
Kind regards,
Bo
This device does not have the processing power to play back most HD videos smoothly. By most videos I mean the HD x264 mkv/mp4 files which people watch these days. Overclocking will help but it's not guaranteed to make it play most HD videos smoothly.
Now there will be posts saying "Well I can play HD videos on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 just fine". This may be true but these people are likely not watching sufficiently high bitrate content that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 can't handle. On top of that they probably have overclocked the device as well.
Don't forget the term HD has become a broader and broader definition. So one person saying they have no problems with HD playback could be referring to HD Youtube app videos which are crap quality. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 can most definitely play this content just fine. On the other hand this device will struggle with most of the x264 HD television and movie files. The truth is most of the decent HD content out there today is beyond the capability of this device aside from the low bitrate and low quality stuff.
This device will not suit your needs if you plan on watching HD x264 mkvs or mp4 TV / movie files. You will not be able to play most of these files without having to re-encode them. I don't use any of the streaming services so I can't comment on that. Maybe it does work fine with Netflix, Hulu or what have you.
Decatf hits all of the key points. For taking HD content with you to play back anywhere your best bet is going to be encoding your files in such a way as to ensure smooth playback. You can play back 720p files that are encoded with the proper settings (basically as has been said the decoding capability of the Tegra 2 is limited) but don't expect to play back any HD file you download off the net perfectly. There are threads on the forum that talk about the proper settings in Handbrake to ensure smooth playback.
I haven't tried it but for playback at home perhaps a WD Live Media Hub would be a suitable companion whereby you control the device using their remote control application available in the Play store. Reviews on both the app and the device itself seem to be hit and miss so I'd carefully weigh them given your circumstances before buying (for example some reviews state that NAS support of the WD Live Hub is not great).

Only thing you have to be careful in case of h264 files is that they MUST be encoded in Baseline profile. This is a limit of Tegra 2!... I play very smoothly Full HD mp4 movies with this setting. In order to check the profile level, you can use the tool MEDIAINFO you can download freely from Internet.

Try overclocking the tab. A1 Kernel for example, has a bit GPU overclock and you can set CPU at 1,6GHz, try it at this freq and performance-cfq (governor-iosched) temporally.
Try the hw + option in Mx player
As per below in Mx player.
How to play HiDef movies/video on the Tab 10.1:
Install Handbrake
Download and install XOOM profile found here
https://sites.google.com/a/dibona.com/www/www/filestorage
or this one:
http://jccorporation.net/downloads/All 720p HD.plist
Rencode with this profile
Play
(rince, repeat)
Yeah as the above posts mentioned... It is the limitation of the tegra processor. I use my tab for watching movies. I had the same problem with the hd videos. Spending so much for a device like this and it wasn't able to play a good hd video.
Now I'm using Cm10 jelly bean build. Seriously man this is serious sh*t. Now I'm able to play almost all the 720p videos and this is more than enough for me. When a 1080p comes, I just avoid it....
Try flashing the jb rom. But with the latest build, you won't be getting the mic to work.

for NTFS you can use Ntfs Mounter, which can also mount Ext2/3/4 partitions on your tablet. You can also use Paragon NTFS & HFS+ or some other app to mount NTFS partitions but I don't remember the name

Yes, it is the limitation of the tegra processor, so the solution could be, as I said in previous post, in freeing the limitation by overclocking the tab. 1,6GHz with performance governor youtube HD videos works fine.

Is it that worth to over clock the tab to 1.6 GHz just to watch a video? Long overclocking can the fry the chipsets ryt? 1.6 GHz is bit too much for the tab and battery to handle I think when combined with online streaming of YouTube HD videos.....
Just felt so...

Thread resurrection!
Is there a way I can get the tab to change the max cpu when I load YouTube and then drop back afterwards ? Maybe by using tasker or similar?
It's a real pain to keep manually changing the cpu speed.
