I've read that the RAZR performs exceptionally when streaming movies from your device to your HDTV, but I get around 20 FPS on regular Xvid movies. FPS are much worse with 720p streaming. Have anyone else tried it, to see if they get low FPS? I'd like to know if I've just screwed up my device somehow.

My understanding is that the XDA2 BackPack has a TV output of 640x480 pixels, which compared to full PAL resolution of 720x576 (or 720x480 NTSC) isn't that far off.
I can encode a full length DivX movie from a DVD at 640x480 and it will fix on my soon to arrive 1GB Secure Digital card quite easily at superb quality. What I'm thinking is, will I be able to output from the XDA2, using the backpack, to the TV, and play a 640x480 DivX movie streaming from the XDA2? Or is the TV output restricted to applications that support it only? (Such as Powerpoint, etc)
Are you sure the XDA II can play a 640x480 movie smoothly?
Not at all; after creating this topic I've read multiple times that the XDA2 outputs 2-5fps via the backpack - I guess it only needs to create an output at that frequency when working with powerpoint presentations.
A little disappointing for a 400MHz processor, but I suppose it all comes down to the GPU, or lack of...
ya... I was looking at some benchmarks for the h6300 which included the XDA II; needless to say, the XDA II didn't do too well in the graphics benchmarks
Url ?
I think those graphic benchmarks focus on applications or games, otherwise I can't explain why the xda II is always getting bad marks. We shouldn't forget that the ati imageon chip is designed exactly for playing mpeg4, and if you got players like BetaPlayer you can see the difference when you switch the ati support on and off.
If the video is not much larger than 320x240, it can be downsized and is still running smoothly on the display. Sadly you have to reencode your movies, but it only takes one hour or so in virtual dub.
Now I think your 1 GB storage card won't be very useful when it comes to movies...
Another thing, I'm not entirely sure but I suspect the speed of the sd slot isn't fast enough to play movies beyond 800 kBit or so. So even if the cpu/gpu was fast enough, there would be no way to play most movies with variable bitrate, occasionally exceeding lets say 1200 kbit.
For those reasons, I think even if the backpack did it, I don't think you could watch movies on a big screen.
However, it's disappointing if even the 320x240 don't work, which run smoothly on the ppc display and are comparable to vhs quality. I can't test it but I get this impression from what I read here.
so is the backpack not a good investment if i wana play some videos on a tv/monitor? dose wmv make any diffrence? and would it work better on a xda 3? sounds silly but @ £60+ i wana know what ill be getting.

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.
Hi guys,
I have a doubt regarding the video playback of our galaxies... I'm checking the MHL output, and I have a couple of questions.
The TV reports 1080i, although I'd like to choose 720p, if that's a possibility. In the end the TV's native resolution is 720p.
Also, I'm afraid the video quality, although nice, isn't really hidef. I feel the video is downscaled to the resolution of the phone's screen (800x480), then upscaled to 1920x1080 for the MHL output (and then downscaled again by the TV to 720p). I'll have to say, the result isn't bad, but far from good. Do you know any way to play a video either at 1080p or 720p? Is there a way to choose the MHL resolution?
Thank you!
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

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.

Hi all
What is the general consensus for the best resolution for playing movies on the tablet considering the screen it comes with?
I am heading overseas shortly and so wanted to look at whether I convert some of my large movies to a smaller filesize and if I do what resolution is ideal.
That of course could lead on to the app people use for said conversion (but that is very subjective to each individual).
Cheers
Well since our screen supports 1080P i would say that is also the ideal resolution now I don't think that your movies are any higher resolution than that so it is also very subjective what resolution is 'optimal' it will always be a tradeoff between quality and filesize, personally I don't really see that much difference between 1080 and 720. With 480p I do really see a difference. But I would say that is sufficient for your trip.

The ideal format for the XPERIA Tablet Z (and well any other modern tablet) is h.264 .mp4 AVC. The tablet's screen is WUXGA (1920x1200), so itnis perfect for 1080p. Sony's official whitepaper states the device supports up to 20Mbps, somI recommend encoding your video to that bit rate for maximum quality. A bit rate of 15Mbps is also a good compromise if you still want high quality, while 11.5Mbps is still ideal. 7.5Mbps 720p is also suitable if you dont mind sacrificing some quality.
I have an eye for low quality, but if you are dealing with feature length live action movies here, handbraking them to 10Mbps h264 1070p should do.
I myself use 15Mbps. I can provide a screencap of a 15Mbps video on the tablet if you want one.
