Guys we all know our phone is well capable of playing 720p videos and MX player can play only audio in 1080p videos... but is it possible to play
1080p video on our device?????
What's the point,really? We don't have enough resolution and the clips take awful lot memory from sd card in real 1080p. Just convert the clips to smaller res and be happy with your Ray

I used Mxplayer too, but only play films p720 with bitrate < 2000 kbps. So surprise your ray can play p1080
All ray can play full hd!!!
Maybe you should overclock or have a different Rom!!!
But only with mp4 container...
Quite difficult with others!!!

the best player for HD movies with no lags for xperia ray, is:
Dice Player
I test every players such az MX player, pot player, qq player and ... but the best one is dice player
What is the point for doing that. If you resize the film to ray's screen size

Ok for last couple of days i've been trying to play movies on my x10. I've tried many players from the market and so far the results are:
Stock Player: Couldn't start/play any of the file.
Arc Media: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
Soul Movie: This video cannot be played! Please contact to the phone maker!
mVideoPlay: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
QQPlayer: Starts but wouldn't play anything (Force close when trying to go back)
MX Video Player: Starts well, loads subtitles and goes on for 5-10 mins with a little lag (which is fine for me) then starts to lag like hell and then video goes out of sync.
The video I'm trying to play is a BRrip, resolution is 1280x528 and is in mp4 format. (HD music video's I've downloaded from youtube seems to work fine with any player which is in same resolution) Some other movies in .avi format and lower resolution would play in some of that player but lags like hell.
NOTE: I've tried to set different settings of different player such as hardcoding and softcoding but they didn't work.
Any suggestion guys??
So only that BRrip doesn't play? You say youtube vids are ok...
Try Vplayer Pro, it works smoothly in my phone, so far i havent meet lags when playing any vids.

Ough..BRip in MP4..you mean in MP4 extention, isn't it..
Try to convert it to 720p resolution and change the Video Codec to Mpeg4 H264..
Can't play coz the resolution is not support by the player/phone..I guess..

No need of any conversion buddy, install mobo player from Market. Its free app. It actually plays anything u throw at it. Using it for over five months now. Plays even youtube .flv HD files flawlessly (Make sure the resolution is 720 or less). All the best...
Convert it to the same res as the x10, rather than letting the x10 do it on the fly. Your bound to get better results.
Try Mobo player. Plays any format and supports subtitles in .srt format. It would be nice to have option to change audio tracks in dual-audio files but at least works flawlessly.

Ok guys I tried mobo player it works, I mean it plays the file but it lags and gradually goes out of sync. This time the file was even in lower resolution. But convert seems to work fine. Now im gonna try different movies in different resolution and check which works and which not. Then I'll let u guys know. But in the mean time can u guys suggest me some good converter for x10? And the settings for those converter. I use Avs converter but its slow as hell.
Oh and guys I'm on cm7, just so u know.

MP4 is a simple format and can be easily played on our x10 on 720p(1280x576,1280x720)
MKV is used in Blu-rays now a days...
It can have many audios like a movie in 2 languages...
I play it in my x10 dual audio 720p...
The main thing is use doomkernel and overclock to 1228Mhz in interactive mode use MX video player.
Sorry if it sounds noobish but how do I use doomkernel and overclock in enteractive MODE?

I've found doomkernel to flash but can u link me to overclock?

I'll never understand why people want to watch 720p on a non-hd device. It's only eating up your resources.
Whether or not you can play videos depends on bitrate mostly but there are other reasons vids won't play. Just because 1 720p movie works doesn't mean they all will.

I've seen some nice videos on Youtube from Sony Ericsson promoters displaying Xperia Neo devices HDMI-wired to large TVs and it looks good with photos and videos shot from the in-built camera. But I'd like to hear from your experience playing movies, not stuff you filmed on your camera.
Is it possible to watch HD movies from the SD card on the TV through the HDMI? Does the Neo plays most format to begin with? Does is play any decent format at all with subtitles? Has anyone tried this?
yeah you can watch 720p movies so you can also watch that through hdmi
I know I could watch 720p videos, what I don't know about is compatibility, performance, and if it takes special video playback software. The examples I've seen were with specially tailored mp4 videos. Some HD videos come in AVI or MKV... does anyone know if this would be a problem with the Xperia Neo?
---------- Post added at 01:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------
By the way, I didn't see a single video player installed on the Xperia Neo I tested on the store. I might have missed it. On the video examples I've seen they use the standard gallery app.
I played .avi video files using MoboPlayer. I think that using third party video players you can play .mkv too (did not test it)

Cool! HD video? What about performance?
Also, anyone ever used subtitles?
I have the neo and just got my hdmi cable. Have yet to test this either so would like to know as well. Don't have a tv with hdmi yet though. So can't test myself.

I'm gonna get the Neo soon (its only just come out in N.Z shops) I was able to get my hands on one today to feel the build quality and I like it..
I was wondering if the HDMI port also works for the normal phone screen.. What I'm really after is to be able to plug the phone into a hotel LCD screen to write e-mails browse the web etc with a BT keyboard... some phone only seem to be able to play videos and look at photos over the HDMI port.. how is the Neo??

Awesome! that's all I needed to know.. now to find a cheap Neo.. to replace my trusty but severely modified mini.. HD Video and Skype video calling here I come!!

hdmi cable works with video with not higher resolution than 720p (tested with diceplayer and mx video player soft decoding, hardware does not support divix or mkv)
with software decoding i tried to play Full HD 1080p and did it, but it wasn't smooth, and video and sound was not synchronized.
Tested on not modified Neo. I would be very pleased if someone tested the same on overclocked device and say if it helped.
Oh okay, will have to test this myself as well, wonder if overclocks do help or maybe it wasn't smooth because of the software?, or both... we need more testers of hdmi, speaking of which, my cable came the other day, but left it at home, which at the moment is close to 2 hours away so can't test it this weekend any-way.
My neo finally arrived and I took it for some serious video testing.
Anything going on the neo goes on the TV through HDMI, be it video or game or app, or anything. Now to video performance.
I tried several different resolutions and file formats:
- Apparently the native app will only run mp4 and 3gp.
- Using MX Video Player I got full compatibility with all file formats and subtitles I tried (with different encodings too).
- File formats I tried: avi (I think it was xvid), flv, mp4, wmv, mkv (it says x264 here), mpg.
- Resolutions I tried: several up to 720p (sorry, I don't have access to anything larger)
The thing ran all 720p mp4 videos flawlessly. Other formats, the best it could do was run a 540p flv very well. 720p videos of other formats ran choppy and slow.
I converted the 720p film (6000 kbps bitrate) I had here to a 720p mp4 (5000 kbps bitrate just to improve file size). It ran flawlessly. Now am converting my films to that size and format when I want to watch them on the tv.
I'm loving the phone, it's very snappy and does the job.
I tried some 1080p mp4 videos. They run choppy too. It'd be pointless though, since the HDMI output from the neo is 720p anyway.
So, apparently, anything above 720p is off-limits with the original firmware.
Youtube on Neo --> TV out via HDMI?
Can you open the youtube application on your phone, then watch it on your TV through HDMI from your Neo?

I'll try this at home, but my guess is that you can do this normally, as anything that goes on the phone (you can play 3D games and watch them on the TV for example).
The drawback is that the video quality of Youtube videos on the phone is not HD, even if you turn on the "HQ" button.
I charged at same time as using hdmi big mistake cooked phone won't do that again

not able to play 1080p videos smoothly by default player. i tried playing 1080p mkv .im getting video without audio??? any players to play 1080p? i think we can use dice player .Other than dice player???
Suggest me guyz
Thanks,
I'd like to know this too.. im aiming on getting a RZR and want to know what player plays .mkv files the best.. well 720+ videos atleast.. i tried on my TB and just stutters and plays like crap..
i had no problems playing 1080 mp4 music video in the stock player. the video's been downloaded from youtube. however.. there seems to be a problem with mkv audio so if you want to play mkv videos, use MX Video Player. it works just fine and it's free... it's one of the most popular video players on android and it has great performance. if you want to play avi files, you have to switch video to SW mode tho.
Using MX video player this phone is capable of nearly everything. The only thing swedroid had problems with was the bird scene from planet earth in 1080p high profile and ac3 sound.

mx player is a good choice
Hi!
The Best : MX Video Player !!! - is the first video player that performs multi-core decoding !!!. for dual core - performance improvement = 70% than single-core .......what you want more ???
these app store freeware video players are all heavily infested with spyware especially MX i would use VLC as its clean
Mx is good, but
For ac3 audio mx player is an answer on the phone. I usually watc movies on my full hd tv and videos with 624x352 reulution became choppy, They're smooth in mobo and bs player, but they can't use sw for audio and hw for video. In a forum on moto's website that they're working on the ac3 audio codec. That was on 9 november, last year.

If you are looking to play mkv files, there are plenty of those on the market

MXplayer is the best one.....if u r looking to play 720p movies.....also try to overclock to 1.2ghz ....it will run smoothly.....1080p will not run though
MX Player and MX Player Codec (ARMv7) in software play .mkv files perfectly for me.
Use Mx Player with SW Decoding now u can play 720p Smoothly:laugh: aswell as 1080p with some glitches
Galaxy S3 and S2 has Multi-Core Hardware decoding Capability, so we can't port Stock S3/S2 player in Xperia Neo/V:silly:
Anyone else find the Xperia U is total junk for playing HD? Using MX Player or is there a better app that works?
My 18 month old HP Touchpad just shrugs off 1080P videos no problem, my Xperia U can't even manage 720P without been a stuttery mess, surely it should be able to handle them no problem?
720p runs superfine for me
1080p doesn't even starts
Mali400mp4 can play 1080p wid ease bt not mp1
Odp: Xperia U, HD Videos fail?
720p in .mp4 always smooth, 720p .mkv with medium bitrate (for example 1,5h movie in 1Gb file) smooth, 720p .mkv with high bitrate (1 hour show at 1,5 Gb file) a little bit laggy.
