Hi, I've been trying to stream from ice stream app to my evo/tv via mhl adapter the video quality on the phone is great but on my 40" HDTV its really pixelated.
I've tried different Alps like mx and mono player but all seem to compress the video. Is there any way to not loose the stream quality from phone to TVs
Thanks

Chances are its the source and not the connection or player. The evo's screen resolution is less than hd, so it would look better on the evo than big tv if the resolution is smaller. Try a local file to compare and make sure it's not really a connection issues.

Have had the best luck with serviio (free) and videos etc streaming from PC on 51" panasonic (not the best TV) are as good as anything else out there IMO. Just easier to transfer to PC and run from there...quality is MUCH better

I think its the 3d or maybe the mhl adapter/cable coz when i try to mirror a HD video (1080p) on my tv it lags and looks pixelated too....it lags on evo 3d as well.
Same video looks great when played through a pendrive on TV.
I think when using MHL the refresh rate is 24hz hence less fps.
But dont know what is the video quality issue here.
I play netflix, 1080p & 720p locally stored files, YouTube and various other sources. Locally stored content plays perfect. Netflix is watchable but not same as hd from computer to tv. This is bc some sources stream lower res/lower bit rate to ur phone bc its a phone. Not an hdmi mhl issue

Anyone know what settings to use to convert a DVD to a video file to play on the EVO3d at the native resolution?
http://www.knowyourcell.com/htc/htc...deos_and_transfer_them_to_the_htc_evo_3d.html
I only partially agree with the article. When i convert the files i keep the source resolution. Even my Evo 4G could playback .mp4's that where natively 1080p. And before you start the "its screen cant playback above a x b resolution...", think about this...u can output upto 1080p via MHL/HDMI or DLNA. Additionally if you convert them to the maximum of the Evo 3D screen, what are you gonna do next year when your next phones resolution is higher?
Second, while its true it will playback .mp4 or .m4v...use .mp4, as DLNA streaming wont see .m4v files (old ones can just be renamed to .mp4),
Also, avg bitrate can be fine for some movies, but especially in action movies, it tends to leave slower parts of the movie in poor quality imo. I usually use constant quality and play with the setting til i get about 1.5GB or lower files from 1080p Blu Ray.
The above has worked out well for both my Evo 4G and Evo 3D

Damn it's great to see you here Myn!!
Well i'm curious, what CBR do you end up using? 1500kbps?
Reviving this old thread since I can't seem to find a newer one that discusses HandBrake output for the EVO 3D.
I just received my HTC MHL adapter, and it works quite well. However, I've noticed that my video quality tends to vary quite wildly by video when displaying on my Sharp Aquos 37", despite looking fine on the phone.
I'd love to know what HandBrake settings people are finding work best for MHL output.
how will the prime handle audio if i want to play a movie/tv show from the transformer on my tv?
i'm probably going to get this cable
http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10253&cs_id=1025301&p_id=7327&seq=1&format=2
but how does it do the audio? i know that hdmi can handle video and audio so will a single hdmi cable output the video and the sound from the transformer when i plug it into the tv? i think when i used my laptop i had to get a cable with a 3.5mm jack to go into the headphone jack on the laptop and on the other end were rca jacks to go into the tv but my plasma doesn't have rca jacks. i think that's where i'm getting confused.
Yes that cable will output both audio and video to your tv simultaneously.

And now the big question, will the tablet be able to output higher resolutions than the screen res? Tf101 : only 1280x720: pretty worthless for hd movies or for using it as a desktop replacement connected to your 23" screen ...
Tegra3 can do it... but can the tf2 do it too?

I have Xperia Neo with HDMI and the audio and video @ 720p couldn't be handled any better IMO
All I can say is more than likely 1080 will be released maybe as official update or as mentioned above devs will do it
HDMI support is an essential for any tablet in the current market
I am really considering this as my first tablet
1080p Video File Size
1080p hdmi out would be great. So we are talking 1280 x 1920 output, yes? I am getting old and I have a hard time seeing the difference between 720p and 1080p.
If I am worried about 1080p out, then I'd also be concerned with having 7.1 audio out also. Might as well experience the "full" movie experience.
What about file size this 1080p video is going to be? Even with the 64 GB Prime what's the biggest file size I can dump on the drive? Are sd cards used with Android not limited to 4GB (aka fat32 format)? Any word on ICS breaking this barrier?
I cannot see a 1080p movie being within the 4GB limit. It's a challenge to get a 720p movie within the current 4GB limit.

You should not worry about this part. Yes it will.
The HDMI out video playback power is a task of the CPU/SoC, regardless of the actual display on the device. The Nvidia Tegra 3 SoC is well capable of playing smooth 1080p video.

This is the most concerning part with using the TF as your portable media watcher/tv-hookup-thingie.
From what i've read and seen today i think the Transformer Prime's hdmi output still sends out 720p, so no 1080p.
This is a real bugger since i want to use this thing as desktop replacement (hooked up to 23" 1080p+ monitor). 720p is way to low (big letters, small working area , blurry fonts when zoomed out)
Tegra3 as said can handle more than 720p.
Question is is there any hardware limitation?
Like the HDMI out, could that limit to 720p?

tegra3 can output resolutions way higher than 1080p... however, the TF2 device clones its own screen when connected to hdmi, which means you'll stay at 1280x800 or 1280x720 actually (minus lower bar)
But that could rather be software and by this changable if it really is the case.

it's like this. One's hdmi is connected its clones what show on Primes screen and that would be 720p when you are on homescreen,browsing, apps, games.
But when you start a movie and are connected to a screen with hdmi it will output the resolution that the video file have, if the movie is 1080p it will be 1080p if your screen will handle that resolution. The picture is only showed on the connected screen and on Primes screen you only have to media controls like play/paus seek and so on.

Is this true? I didn't find anything about hdmi.
It's supposed to work that way on normal Transformer too (since some update) but I never had time to test. Someone claimed that it works though - 1080p movies play by HDMI as 1080p not 720p.
I would like full 1080p desktop but I doubt it will be there. Not in HC for sure. Maybe ICS will add sth like that?
Per Anandtech, Prime supports ext NTFS volumes, and 4GB+ is allowed. This assumes you also buy the dock, since Prime has no USB.
"External NTFS volumes are supported and the sdcard file system supports files greater than 4GB in size, so I copied a 15GB 1080p Blu-ray rip of A Quantum of Solace from a USB stick to the Prime. I had to use DICE Player to get audio but otherwise the clip just worked."
Per TheVerge, reviewer reports HDMI output on 52" TV "felt like I was watching a Blu-ray movie." The implication is that it's 1080p output, although it wasn't explicitly stated.

The day when tablets gets 1080p screens and a OS that is setup for that you will get 1080p on the external screen even when you just use the homescreen,browser,App.
movies played on transformer when hdmi is connected will be shown on external screen in their native (correct word?) resolution.
480p will be 480
720p video will be 720p
1080p video will be 1080p
Homescreen and all other places in the UI will be clone to the big screen in 720p because primes screen is 1280*800

would been a good option that you could choose to clone the screen in 1080p and when you plug in the hdmi primes screen turns off and prime start acting same way like a computer that out put the picture to a screen and u use a mouse/keyboard to navigate

I forgot a word. I mean i didn't find informations about hdmi playback. I never tried it with my Transformer.
As per thread title, Im wondering how good the Transformer Prime's screen is for video watching?
Does it also handle MKV files w/o any issues?
During my short time with it, yeah it's great. The performance is great, you can even play HD footage on power saving mode, and the screen is one of the best LCDs I've seen. Tried the only 1080p footage I have (trailer for source code) and it was lovely. Streamed some 720p footage via DLNA over wi-fi too (louis ck standup) and that was also fine. I have noticed that with some videos, audio won't play using the standard player though. You'll need a player that lets you decode audio in software if this is case, such as MX video player.
Thanks for the feedback, anyone here with a Galaxy Note or and S2 that can provide feedback.. I understand that a 10.1" screen vs a 5.3 or even 4.29 might be an odd comparison.
looks clean to me, i had a br rip of transformer 3, looked amazing on the prime.
on my sgs2 look the same, but smaller, i have a screen protector thats all scratched up, but it looks great other than that.

I have the Galaxy Note and as far as the picture quality, it is slightly better in my opinion on the Prime. Then again, it's hard to really judge in comparison to the Note due to screen size. The biggest difference to the playback is the fact that the Prime is easier to see when outside or in a bright room. It has a screen boost which significantly boosts the backlight. Drains battery fast, but looks great. Hope that answers your question
All my HD movies play fine with built in video player after I extract the mkv, convert the audio from ac3 or dts to acc, then put into an mp4 container.
Great, the no issues at all.

MX Video Player plays MKV videos great, I play all my AVI, MP4 and MKV with no problems and they look great @ 720p
Last nite i streamed a full bitrate bluray rip (mkv @22 gigs) wirelessly to my prime via es file explorer and bs player lite. Performance was great, and quality was stellar, even during very busy scenes (the page flip at the beginning of every Marvel movie, for example).

Maybe stream quality is not good?
not sure if it works for all tvs but on samsung tvs there is an info button that will tell you about the resolution and hz. the resolutioiin you probably know about but the hz is also important. hz indicates the maximum framerate of the input. it should be 1080p @ 60hz.

Can anyone achieve full 1080p over MHL with their DNA?
I have tried two different MHL cable/adapters (A red Skiva aftermarket cable and the PNY MHL Smart Adapter w/monster cable HDMI cable) and I can only get 720p. I have tried this on two tv's (50" Pioneer Plasma and a 42" Visio LCD) that support 1080p.
I know what the hardware is theoretically capable of, however I wish to know if anyone has personally achieved full 1080p HD output.

As far as I can tell videos play in 1080p but everything else only shows in 720p. Pretty disapointing because that's one of the reasons I got this phone, I assumed everything would be 1080p but as it is there's no difference between the output of this phone and the one x on mhl .
I have a 46" Toshiba LCD and when I plug in the mhl adpter I got from monoprice.com. The tv shows a 1080p signal whether I am on the home screen or watching a video.

Just as nrage, my rocketfish MHL adapter from Best Buy is always displaying 1080p, no matter what screen is showing on my phone.

Yes my tv also says "1080p" up in the corner when I connect the phone through hdmi, however the quality of what I see on the screen is most definitely not 1080p. Looks more like 720p when I'm in any part of the OS or even the browser or most other app, and when I fire up the Netflix app it looks like 480p at best. Now when I play a HD youtube video or a personal video shot in 1080p you see it right away, BIG difference! Crystal clear picture as if I was watching a blue ray. So technically its on 1080p but for whatever reason it looks degraded except for youtube and videos. This is exactly the way the HTC One X acted, 1080p on youtube and vids and 720p or below everywhere else. The thing is that the One X has a 720p screen so I didn't expect to see 1080p in the OS or regular apps cause it's just mirroring whats on the phones screen, the DNA as you all know has a 1080p so it was a bummer to see the degraded quality in hdmi out. Who knows, maybe it's my cheap ebay adapters fault but I doubt it cause if that was the case then it probably wouldn't show youtubes in good quality either.
