I just bought a z5 compact and thought the problem was with my z3 compact but the same issue occurs. When I am watching live streaming horse racing video on twinspires using either mx player or sony's movie app the video is chopped up. Is there a fix for this? My friend has an iPhone 6 and doesn't have the same issue.

There is a huge audio delay when watching Netflix. Is there another problem?
Same problem but not on Netflix. I'm watching television shows on Dice Player and MX Player and there is a pretty big lag. Very annoying.
I've always experienced stuttering HD video playback on all my devices. I've used dice player and Mx player. The hardware and software acceleration used with my gnex, never could I get HD video to play stutter free. Hoping for some better results with the GS3.

I've have watched a few 720p videos in the stock video player stutter-free. I even tried the pip feature, and the phone wasn't lagging when changing homescreens while the video was playing in a floating window on top. I have also streamed some hd movies in the plex app without any stuttering.
Playing 720p stutter free works on my 2 year old vibrant too. I guess you should check 1080p high profile videos with high bitrate video and audio. Also i wonder how sg3 handles multi channel audio formats like AAC, AC3, DTS etc
Sadly Snapdragon GS3 , doesn't handle HD videos to well , worse then my GS2 , specifically 60fps HD videos , it skips and stutters horribly ,my old International GS2 plays them smoothly. Kinda bumped about it , im guessing Samsung SOC has beefier hardware decoder.
But, if all your 720,1080p videos are only 23~30 fps you will be fine.
When I get it I'll mess around with encoding some videos to play well with it. If anyone finds a sweet spot with encoding videos with handbrake post some details please. Thanks.

I have a Asus tf700. It has a 1080p rez. like this Z. I bought it used from amazon for $300 but I'm returning it because video skips and It only gets 2 hr.s of battery life after viewing my mpeg2 1080i video. All my shows are mpeg2 since thats the way come off my Tivo. When I look at battery use in settings I see about %70 is my mxvido player. I'ts the only player I know that will play my mpeg2 shows. The next big usage is screen at about %20. This is with outdoor viewing so screen was bright. Can anyone tell me how many hours of mpeg2 1080i video playback you get? Id like to consider this sony if it can do better. Or wait for the The new Asus Memo Pad FHD 10 inch 1080p tablet. I dont game.
Already tried other video players like BS Player, Dice Player, MX Player, Archos Video??
It's very dependent on the decoder (and the kind of hardware acceleration) how battery-consuming and CPU-/GPU-intensive playing movies is.
I admit that I often are quite unnerved by people who rate devices by the pre-installed software. It's normal that the pre-installed apps don't cut it and that only with 3rd party apps a device can shine.

Dice player refuses to play. BS, like MX player will both work but only with software decoding and framerate is choppy and both kill my battery in 2 hrs. I installed Arcos player but says it needs $5 dollars for mpeg2 codec to playback the ac3 audio on my mpeg2. Does the sony z tablet's naive player playback 1080i mpeg2 videos? How many hrs. does it get? Does it use hardaware acceleration as no players seem to achieve this using my asus tf 700
No, you can download "Archos Video All Codecs" plugin for free in the play store, then the Archos player can play all formats!
Nor MPEG2 nor AC3 can be decoded in hardware by Snapdragons. You're out of luck here. On a modern format (H264 with AAC audio) you'd get much improved video playback times, smoothness, quality and compression.

Hi I am looking for a new tablet for video viewing and I am thinking about Z2. Ive got a z1 compact smartphone and its great, I wouldnt mind owing a sony tablet too.
Now my question is Z2 tablet capable of playing 1080p HI10P videos (mainly anime) ? my z1c can play 720p hi10p vids in software playback mode, which is ok.
Can anyone confirm this that it plays them or doesnt. Thanks

Just tested on mine. It doesn't play using the inbuilt Sony movie player. I can get it working using third party players (I tried VLC and MXPlayer), but only using the software decoder.

Use MX Player and install custom codec from here on XDA and not from play store
I had same problems on my Z3 tablet compact and I solved by this way.
