Hi there
I am having a choppy video playback in HQ mode on some clips, (using very good WiFi) and the video quality and resolution, seems to be not very HQ. I compared the HTC Sensation and iPhone4 with the same clip, and both of them were superfine in video quality(very noticeable), and flawless playback! The problem with choppiness is present only in 2.3.4 firmwares(everyone i've tried) not in the 2.3.3! Tried every Youtube version and flash player too, with no luck! Is it just me with this problem, and some solution ?!

Not here mate, running on Batista rom.
I'm currently running my phone SGH i777 on Unnamed rom v1.3.0, i'm experiencing some problems on video playback on my current rom. The video stutters while playing less than even a second but happens quiet constantly on the phone. I wanted to know is the problem with the hardware of the phone or does the problem exist on this rom.?

No problems here - but it depends on the video. Video that uses certain features that are part of H.264 High Profile can do weird things.
I am on UnNamed 1.3.1 and hadn't tried video playback since I installed so I pulled up Mobo player and tried some movies on my SD card. Movies with dolby digital and two channel AAC would sometimes close as soon as they started although they would play after I tried a few times. Video without dolby digital seemed to play first time. I looked at the Mobo options and turned on "soft decoding". I haven't got a close since then. Video playback is very smooth (32GB class 10 uSD card). My videos were encoded in Handbrake as H.264 using the AppleTV2 setting. I only use AAC for movies that don't have much of a soundtrack.
These were videos .mp4 that i downloaded using tubemate and played them on my phone..In software decoding mode the're working fine in HW dec mode stutter while playing, so does that mean that the default video player on this rom is unable to play back these videos with the support of the hardware..?
Hi guys,
Is anyone able to play 720p videos smoothly with the GT-P7510 running ICS? cause no matter what player I use.
The 720p videos lag way too much, but with Android 3.2 never really had such issues as the same 720p videos used to play fine.
Does ICS take more resources than Honeycomb?
Obviously would like to stick with ICS due to its features, but if it takes more resources than Honeycomb, that it doesn't even allow me to play 720p videos smoothly, then I will have to consider going sticking to Honeycomb, but 1st need your advice.
Thanks in Advance
Anyone alive?
Well, "720p videos" by itself simply isn't enough information to tell either way. What videos are you trying to watch (encoding, profile, bitrate) and which player do you use?
720p mp4s in standard h.264 high profile work just fine.
Well.. to answer that, all my 720p videos have been downloaded from youtube using tubemate.
Also as I explained before, these same 720p videos, play absolutely smooth with Honeycomb, but not with ICS.
I even installed the [Kernel] - 2.6.36.4 - OC-VFPv3-d16_FP 1.4GHZ - Galaxy Tab 10.1 (07/11/12), Overclocked it to 1.4Ghz, which became slightly smoother but the video was still laggy and noticeable.
Due to this, I reverted back to Honeycomb, and now all the videos play smooth again.

Try flashing to jellybean
I had the same problem with honeycomb.now totally smooth and totally cool.
The problem is with the tegra 2 chip inside.
It cannot play h.264 encoded videos.

Kill background running apps, then play the videos and see if it gets better.

Thanks for the reply guys, I killed all background apps, made no difference in the performance, also tried Jelly Bean, but has the same lousy performance as ICS, no difference.

Yes mate, I have also tried Dice player, with Hardware and software mode, also tried MX Player, no difference.
Ivan, can you post a link to a video that you're having a problem with?
No problems here so far, but I'll try one of yours and see if it plays ok here.

Now thats interesting, I have tubemate installed on my tablet that allows me to download any 720p videos from youtube, just do the same for a few videos, such as street fighter x tekken cinematic videos, also some music videos and test these please.
Let me know the results, and which rom, player and kernel you are using.
Thanks Mate, Much Appreciated
I had problems playing 720p+ mkv in both honeycomb and ics until i tried BS player. I'm hoping VLC will eventually surpass all the other media players. MX player works for me with software decoding enabled and DICE player works as well, with Hardware Accel.
all these players can't play videos properly ......I would recommend u to convert video into mp4 or avi using formatfactory for
PC .....once converted copy to ur tab and play using mx player or v player or stock ...........the resolution and bitrate
adjustments make videos look lot smoother and plays without any hookups ......always use high bitrate as it makes video more sharper and also vivid...........if u are a pro in video converting then use mediacoder hq for pc
HIT THANKS BUTTON IF I HAVE HELPED

then i play videos with MX player with ArmV7 decoder pack.
the play back result was smooth, no lag.

This is happening to me too. Stock and Overcome Honeycomb, many H.264 videos play smoothly. Stock Samsung 4.0 and CM-9-2012-09-30, hardware acceleration is broken--either slow, or full of random misplaced blocks. These videos were specifically encoded for Tegra 2 devices. Let's pick an unobjectionable one:
Code:
mediainfo -f bun.mpg
Format : MPEG-4
File size : 292 MiB
Overall bit rate : 1 203 Kbps
Duration : 33mn 56s
Writing application : HandBrake 0.9.8 2012071800
So far, so good. Now for the video stream:
Code:
Format : AVC
Format profile : [email protected]
Format settings : CABAC / 5 Ref Frames
Bit rate : 1 000 Kbps
Width : 1280
Height : 720
Frame rate mode : Variable
Minimum frame rate : 17.114 fps
Maximum frame rate : 29.970 fps
Writing library : x264 - core 120
Encoding settings : cabac=1 / ref=5 / deblock=1:1:1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 /
me=umh / subme=8 / psy=1 / psy_rd=0.40:0.00 / mixed_ref=1 /
me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 /
deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-2 / threads=6 /
sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 /
constrained_intra=0 / bframes=6 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 /
direct=1 / weightb=0 / open_gop=0 / weightp=0 / keyint=300 /
keyint_min=30 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=50 /
rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=1000 / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=3 /
qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:0.60
You will note the weightp=0 and weightb=0.
So, no weighted prediction, bitrate below 2Mbps, Level 3.1. These are the specs Motorola gave for the Tegra 2 decode capabilities in the ATRIX 4G (and indeed the video plays fine there on CM 7.2 in HW+ mode in MX Player and BSPlayer.)
What may strike you as a little strong about this is ref=5 and bframes=6. (This is from the x264 tune=animation.) On the Tab 10.1 on ICS using MX Player or BSPlayer, the video in fact looks like intermediate frames are not being rendered correctly; flip to the menu and back and you get a bunch of black blocks being slid around by the motion compensation code. So I'm wondering if some amount of video texture resources (or something) got eaten up in the ICS accelerated drivers for the Tab 10.1, and nobody told the hardware engines. Perhaps 2D acceleration scribbles on the textures used for reference frames.
This is as annoying as hell. I knew when I bought a second Tegra 2 device I was going to have video problems, but I thought I had them all figured out. Unlike the ATRIX which gained capability when updated, the Tab 10.1 seems to have lost it.

Same problem on the 10.1V after the OTA update.
Where 3.2 played HQ youtube videos without any problem, 4.0.4 manages to destroy it. Un-believable.

After staring at this a while, I've noticed some problems back on 3.2 A few thoughts:
The items up there are the most suspicious to me.
2pass does a good job of saving up bits for the hard scenes. Peak bit rate could be a lot higher. When Motorola said 2Mbps, it's possible they implied a peak bit rate too.
Nothing except BSPlayer likes Variable Frame Rate very much, especially the aggressive way it gets used in some animation. I'd bet toggling between 24fps and 30fps would be OK. Stuff filmed at 25fps and mauled on the way to broadcast at 1080i 60 fields/sec drives HandBrake kinda crazy, and I can't say I blame it.
One particularly brutal thing seems to be heavily motion-vectored scenes. Those could also be ones with high use of bidirectional prediction and multiple reference frames, so a symptom, not a cause.
Where the symptom on 3.2 is slowness, 4.0 is just broken. It's possible 4.0 on the Tab 10.1 actually did improve frame rate, but bugs in the code made it unwatchable--and somebody flipped a switch to put it back in software mode in order to have *something* work.
Audio Issues
Hi all,
I am running CM10 4.1.1 Preview with Pershoots Kernel 2.6.36.4 on my Gt-7500
Before I upgraded, I was using the stock HC ROM that came on my tablet.
Using Ultimate media server on my PC, and Bubble UPNP and and Daroon player on the tablet, I was able to stream DVD's from my DVD-ROM via my WIFI to the tablet, and all was working quite well.
But ever since upgrading to CM10 experimental preview, there is no Audio playback on the video. I can play mp3's the same way no problem.
Does anyone have any idea as to the problem? Perhaps some audio codecs were left out?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Hi All
my rom is official rom ICS build75
my question is why my movies ( 720 , 1080 ) are choppy in movie app and mx player and etc app ?
I test my movies in GB and JB and not choppy and are very smooth .
also my movie use HW for display but are choppy . SW is also very bad .
there is fix or tweak that my movies playback be smooth like GB and JB ?
Maybe that is an issue with ICS? Because it was doing the same thing on mine. The only videos that played smoothly were the 480p ones.
JB.400 xGO Rooted, Unlocked, Debloated, Greenified, Boot and Stuff by Munjeni
Nobody have'nt way to fix this problem in ICS ?
I Love ics 75 build and my only problem is video playback .
what is cause this problem ? Please Help

The cause of the problem is The ICS does not leave much RAM for processing the video codec.
The HD videos will make the playback choppy. You can try and stop back ground process and run the video file again.
But not much can be done.
Run videos of lower resolution and things will be fine
