Hi there,
Please some one can help me how i can Play 720p and 1080p .MKV movies smoothly with my Gtab 10.1???
Because with a simple samsung galaxy S 1GHZ CPU is possible to play a 720p MKV movies smoothly no problem, but the Galaxy Tab have Dual Core 1GHZ TEGRA 2 with 1GB ram, and not have to possibility to play it, i don't see this normal
Short:
- 720p: h.264 [email protected]
- 1080p: h.264 baseline

Ok thank you very much for your help, Dice Player Work great for the 720p
The tab chokes with 1080p smh.

DoubleTwist works pretty decent with mkv's. 1080p though is a no go. Who needs it though on a ten inch screen?
Agree.. 1080p is overkill for 10" screen .. you wont notice any different compare to 720p .. plus its such a waste storage

Yep. I am all new to this but I noticed 1080p is overkill as well. I am running at 720p or BDrip x264 in 2gb to 4gb and detail is perfect. I converted most of my favorite movies to 720p and running with latest dice player. No issues whatsoever.
Cool,thank you.i will also try the dice Player when i am at home.

To anyone saying 1080p is a waste... of course it is on this device.
But people store their videos generally with 1 copy in the best quality. So I need to be able to watch my 1080p videos, even though it's overkill, because I'm not going to re-encode another 720p copy and store that somewhere. I'm going to store one 1080p copy.
What puzzle me is that I can play 1080p mkv using the built-in player on my SGS II without any problem.

in short, Tegra 2 is a disappointment.
Tegra2 does dissappoint . Im ready to upgrade to kal-el, like now.
Just curious, what programs are people using to convert/make/etc 720p movies?

MKV is container not codec. MKV can hold virtually anything...
Some 1080p can be played, some NOT, it depends what inside is.

I use handbrake. Depending on the source, but for the most part, I make sure the width is 1280px. I set the quality to 21, baseline profile, and then convert. My friends say the videos I've converted look great.

Handbrake is the shizzle.
so, is video the only reason you bought a tablet? I don't watch movies on little screens when I have an HDTV at home. I typically have a drink in one hand so holding my tab in the other would get old. Tab runs great for everything except 720 and 1080 movies apparently. If you want to watch movies on the go, by a portable blu-ray player, not a tab. Tegra 2 runs great! Tab runs great on task's roms BTW!

Been using MX Video Player with the codec pack for Tegra2. Switch it to the SW decoder, and it's not perfect but pretty good.

Its not really fair to say "buy a portable blu ray player". Samsungs site says it can play 1080p, which in some cases it can and cant. Most of the time it cant.

New Transformer Prime owner. Just about to take it out of the box and get up to speed on this device. I'm a media nut who has tons of videos in 720P and 1080P mkv format. Was wondering whether it was worth waiting a few days for ICS to be available so the default video player could play them with HW acceleration or if I should install one of the ad-supported players like BS.Player or DICE?
I can wait the 3 days until the 12th so no big deal there. I have a lot to learn on this tablet but look forward to discovering what it is capable of.
How obstructive are the ad-supported features or DICE and BS.Player? Would prefer to not have to deal with ads.
ICS is supposed to have HW acceleration and MKV support if I'm not mistaken, but let me know your suggestions.
Thanks.
Was it necessary to post this in two forums?

would be enough.
I really don't get the point of this thread, basically, you're asking if you should install a free app or not ?
To answer you, HW acceleration won't change your video playback, it will eventually improve your window drawing (so make your device probably feel smoother). ICS might, not HW acceleration.
Hi,
Just wanted to know the best settings for Handbrake while taking advantage of the Primes specs. I used google but came back with settings for the first transformer. Thank you!!
You need BSPlayer, and that's all, no need to reencode your movies, It's not Tegra2 but 3!

This is pretty much true. I have not yet had the need to transcode anything on the prime, using BS Player also.
If file size is your concern and you're only watching one the prime, transcoding to 1280x800 or the 2.35:1 equivalent will save you a lot of space.
Hello! I will be updating this thread on video playback capabilities of the Nexus 10, particularly on high-end resolution. The new software update is out and under testing at many sites, as well is it is shipping worldwide, so I'll try to share as many information about the multimedia capabilities of the Nexus 10 as possible, you can help out too. Discussion should cover

Still on pre-release, but AndroidCentral points out that background tasks and fullHD video cause some lags, killing those tasks makes it smooth. For me to be able to play properly coded videos water tight on a $500 device is essential, if it fails to do so I have little reason to prefer this over the Nexus7. We shall see results soon.

Yeah this kinda does worry me, as a big part of why i'm looking at this is to play movies while a travel, he does say its only with HD rips of blue rays, but would be nice to see if it does it with HD movies downloaded via the playstore etc.
might have to wait to see what happens when people get it in their hands.
Of course there are some 2600k videos too to get the maximum out of the Nexus 10, mostly gaming. Anyone with hands on the device should check this out:

well hopefully this isn't going to be a result of google having to beat the retina, if thats the case then i'd much more want a screen of the 1920x1080 res that is really good, and that the processor isn't running at 100% trying to run.
I'll post some 2560x1440 (not upscaled) clips shortly for folks to check out their new toys, along with same clips in 1080p BD bitrates (35Mbps) for comparison testing.

The reviewer said he was trying it on ripped blue rays, does that mean it would be playing a video on 1920x1080 and stretching the image? standard blue ray def is 1920x1080 right?

He said he was downloading things in the back. I think a lot of devices lag when you're downloading things.
>The reviewer said he was trying it on ripped blue rays, does that mean it would be playing a video on 1920x1080 and stretching the image? standard blue ray def is 1920x1080 right?
Original BD is 1920x1080 with avg bitrates of 30-35Mbps. Rips can keep the 1080p res or be downscaled, but bitrates are inevitably lower (for smaller size) as they're intended to be downloaded.
Many devices now can handle 1080p of the "rip" (lowered bitrate) variety, but fewer can smoothly play "remuxed" (original BD bitrate) 1080p content. So to say that a device can playback 1080p is relatively meaningless unless the bitrate is specified. Anything from Youtube would not be a good test, since YT stuff are highly compressed (very low bitrate relative to resolution), and fidelity is substantially compromised.
My expectation is that N10 should handle "normal" 1080p rips (10Mbps), given it's the latest-gen SoC, and that video playback is a staple use. I'm more curious about performance with BD-bitrate content, and 1440p content, hence the pending clip uploads. Admittedly, these would be more for curiosity's sake than for practical use--there is no 1440p content, and BD ISOs won't fit through wifi pipes, HT40 or no.
Subscribing as videos are the #1 thing I use tablets for. There was one video posted in the general section last week that takes advantage of the N10's resolution. A quick browse back a few pages and you'll find it in one of the threads talking about the screen
Playing back laggy HD video is a major concern. Not that I would watch movies on it myself but the last thing Google and Samsung needs is more ammo against them. This being the only somewhat major issue though, unlike the fake issues like no SD, plastic construction, and tablet specific apps(the ipad ones really are not that much better than the iphone ones, except games with HD in the title).
That said, my core 2 duo chugs during some streams so i am guessing if it chugs on the PC, Nexus 7, ipad 4, tf700, it will chug on the Nexus 10 and everything else that isn't an i7.

What kind of streams are you running against your C2D? I find it hard to believe it's choking on even 1080p 24+ bit-rate streams. Are you on some ancient video card that doesn't have acceleration, thereby forcing your CPU to brute-force the decode?

My guess it has something to do with my home group connection or wifi connection in general. Playback through a USB drive or internal storage never chugs though. Although some files still have artifacting.
I would be interested in knowing if this can play 10bit MKV files.

There are many tweaks that can be used to slim down a loaded system, but regarding games & videos, I would set the heapsize to 512m, to start. The next place I would look is swappiness. Usually when running one big app and not task switching, you'd want to increase this so that other processes are cached to virtual memory, freeing ram for your main process. With 2gb ram, though, the opposite might be better, as some apps will periodically wake to check for email, news, chats, etc. In this case I think it would be better to keep those processes in ram so that they don't cause a hit to disk to wake from virtual memory.
In other words, I would definitely try tweaking swappiness, but I don't know which way would be better. I'm going to sub this thread; please post whatever results you experience.

I'd never heard of a 10bit MKV until you brought it up. So I downloaded a sample to see it.
For what it's worth, I just tried it on my Galaxy Note 2.
The gallery player didn't play it (audio only) but it worked OK with MX Player in software decoding mode.
Since this resolution is so high on this device, is the Nexus 10 the 1st. "ULTRA" high resolution mobile device/tablet? Doesn't ultra start around this resolution or so?

Bsplayer is slightly better. Mxplayer will lose audio. But it can get pretty bad even with my note 10.1. Audio n video gets way out of sync.

I've not had any issues previously using MXplayer. However since this video was animated and in Japanese, it might have been completely out of sync, I have no idea
Just an FYI
According to Tech Support on their official forums, MX Player will add more Nexus 10 support with their next patch.
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/mx-videoplayer/D7JQchq9I2s
Hopefully full HW+ support.
UPDATE (2013-09-02):
Now available with HW+ support. It is not stellar. WMVs and some AVIs are still SW only.
Too little, too late. BSPlayer plays everything I've thrown at it perfectly. Consequently I see no need to go back?
Yeah, I bought BS Player as a way of thanking them for the Nexus 10 support, but I still like MX Players controls about a thousand times better. If they have decent HW+ support I will probably start gravitating back to them.

try play the 1440P Timescape video on MX player and compare it to BS player.

First off, I never said anything was "completely unreasonable". I implied that the posts about how much better BS Player is were starting to sound like a broken record. Yes people can find useful info here about what they could use, but it doesn't have to be repeated 4 times in 7 posts.
Secondly, this thread is not "about hw support". The title and OP is in regards to MX Player specifically. Though this isn't that big of a deal since the HW support is the biggest issue.
Sorry about being snarky but you guys are making it seem like MX Player is inferior when the OP clearly states that the devs are working on the app to support the Nexus 10. Now that could definitely be misleading to new users. I personally think the UI on MX Player is far better than BS Player in terms of functionality, ease of use, and general look and feel, as I stated earlier. But that's just my opinion. :good:

Hoping HW+ will be perfect on 1080P and 1440P. Although SW is also okay with most videos now.

Actually, I base my chooses on things when opinions are repeated multiple times. If one person says try an app or accessory but he's the only one, I may not try it, but if multiple people say try a diff't app, I may go with that. While, in your opinion, it may sound like a broken record, it could be helpful in making a decision for someone else especially if they were on the fence about something.

I understand that, but the topic of this thread is not "which player is the best". It is about support coming to a specific player. This point of this thread is also not to debate, so I'll just leave it at that. BS Player and MX Player are clearly two great apps and people can decide which one they enjoy more. :good:
they got me the sound back was the biggest gift to me.
For those who don't have it installed to see the update, MX Player is now patched and has HW+ Support on the Nexus 10.

I will say the opposite. I dislike BS Player. I have always used MX Player & I purchased the Pro version in support. On 99% of devices, MX Player Pro is the hands down best media player in my opinion.
That said, the HW & HW+ support for the N10 is still sub-par on the Nexus 10. I would like to think it is just a matter of the N10 being under-powered for the resolution, but having tried BS Player, it seems to me to still work better *IF* you are using HW decoding, not to mention that it seems that MX Player does not really play well with HW decoding on any of the Exynos devices, whether the Note 2, Note 10.1 or the Nexus 10.
Overall, I still prefer the layout & control of MX Player. It has great features & I am certain at some point it will once again surpass all other media players, but right now, it has a ton of dropped frames when using HW or HW+ on any of those Exynos devices.
I know people seem to love MX Player, but I've never figured out what it does better than say...Diceplayer, especially with HW deconding. I've tried each, seems to be roughly the same battery drain, picture quality, etc. Anyone able to explain what I'm missing?

The interface looks tons neater. That's probably why I prefer MX Player over any other player. I use other players when MX Player fails to play something.
New update seems to correct issues for hw+ decoding. Very hi bitrate 1080p mkv and mp4 videos play without any dropped frames even with greater than 30fps video.
