I have downloaded some FHD Videos from youtube, when I play the files with the official player, FHD videos cannot be played while the lower resolution ones do.
and I have also try some 3rd party video player( mobo player), it can only be played under soft decoding while the quality is terrible (serious lag)
does anyone know how to play these files or it cannot be played smoothly at the moment?
Convert the 1080p file as MP4(Xivd) and 10Mbit/s. It play smooth on 2x.

Hi everyone, I have a Milestone with the Leak 2.2 Froyo ROM from GOT, and I have it overclocked @ 1GHz. I thought it could play flawlessly 720p .mkv video files , but no matter what video player I've used, none of them can play the video without "freezes".. RockPlayer is really "close" to achieve it, but it the video loses frames.. Sound and subtitles are played perfect though.
Is it possible to play 720p on Droid/Milestone, has anyone of you done it already?
All my videos are in .mkv form, and the Series I am watching come out in 720p versions. It would be really nice if I could watch them on Milestone without having to transcode them.
Thank you very much for your time.
For what's it worth, I could never get the Galaxy S (several iterations) to run 720p MKV files without crashing/freezing after 30 seconds or so. Everything seems smooth, and then, the videos just freeze.
They were standard 720p TV shows that you download from Usenet.
Incidentally, my iPhone 4 played 720p MOV files without any problems.
I suspect that the Milestone/Droid is capable of running the films smoothly after overclock.
is there a player that can now play 720p on milestone?
Try VPlayer.
Is there a way to play HD video (720p) on the Nexus One? I have tried some apps off the Market to play these videos but it comes up laggy. The file I was trying to play was an .mp4 file. The default Video app can't play mp4 files and the Market apps lag when playing it. Anyone successfully have HD video playing without lag??? Also, is there a recommended format/codec for the Nexus One?
It's not the resolution of the video per se, but rather the bit-rate that would be causing playback to lag. Bear in mind that 720 is unnecessary anyway as the phone is effectively 480 in landscape.
Use the free software Handbrake to re-encode to a more appropriate bit-rate and resolution.
Thanks. I will use FormatFactory to lower the nitrate.
I'm also a fan of Half Life 2 too.

Yes, It is possible to play 720p videos on nexus on. Actually its chipset supports. you can use mxplayer, it's my favorite player; also, you should convert your video to .mp4 and use H/W decoder. H/W decoder is not supported for other formats like flv.
High quality videos wont play anymore on my cdma htc hero. They used to work fine and very snappy at that. But now all i can see is usually a thumbnail or one or two frames and audio. This is for both youtube videos and normal videos that are stored on my phone.
Any help would be awesome.
thanks,

It's a hit or miss. Some videos on YouTube actually have their file encoded at 480x270. While others do not. Those files we can't play.
Yeah the Youtube app only has 2 modes, "standard" and "high quality." Standard can be 240p or 360p. Unfortunately "high quality" includes 480p, 720p, and 1080p. Our Hero is not capable of playing video at 720p or higher And it's not just in Youtube, the same thing happens if you try playing a video file from the SD card.
So if the video is only available in 480p at the highest, it will be fine in high quality.
Just updated my MX Player Pro (to the current latest version 1.7.19) which is arguably the finest Android media player - it plays everything you throw at it. I figured since the HTC One has the best full HD smartphone display with the industry highest PPI in the world right now, i should at least enjoy the maximum it offers. So, i played a full 1080p MKV video but it was lagging a little on my HTC One M7. I disabled power saving mode to unleash the full power of the Snapdragon 600 SoC, but the slight lag persists. By the way, i'm on stock Sense 5.0 with Android 4.2.2, never rooted and my AnTuTu score is 26511 so i doubt if my M7 is being slowed-down because of bloatware, defects, etc. I also closed all other running games and apps, but still the issue remains.
The specifications of the 1080p MKV video that i've tested:
File Size: 9.83 GB
Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x800 23.976fps
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 640kbps
Subtitle: VobSub [Subtitle]
My current settings on MX Player Pro: i'm using S/W decoding for both video and audio. I disabled H/W+ for video, audio, drawing subtitles and aspect ratio correction. Basically, i turned off H/W+ everywhere in the settings. But then, i also tried enabling H/W+ for video only, and then for both video and audio. But still, the slight lagging didn't go away. I also downloaded a custom codec ARMv7 Neon from XDA forums directly from the Settings of MX Player Pro itself. Still, no luck.
So, i want to know what are the best MX Player Pro settings that you personally use to achieve a smooth viewing experience (without lag) when playing the most demanding videos, like 1080p? FYI, i have zero issues with 720p videos.

Try playing MP4 1080p files..they just play fine
and may be its because for both video and audio (5.1) you need S/W decoding and this may be the reason for your lag too
Even with S/W decoding too it should work but causes a lot of battery drain
I reset the settings and using S/W decoding everywhere. I restarted my phone and now it's working fine. I guess a good ole reboot did the trick.
I'm also using RGB 16-bit. I tried RGB 32-bit mode and haven't noticed any slowdowns or noticeable differences.
The original video file was actually in MP4 format but i wanted to mux the subtitle into it to end up with only one MKV file (instead of an MP4 file and its corresponding .sub subtitle file), so i used MKVtoolnix to merge the .sub file into it. Maybe it's the .sub file giving MX Player some extra work. Usually, .srt subtitle files are much lighter in terms of file size and for decoding as well.

the solution to your problem is simple,... you should try to play with s/w decoder in your mxplayer and it will go fine, it also offers much more loudness adjustments compare to h/w decoder,. you will see the option in front of you! xD
Personally i use hw+ decoder for every supported format. It plays 1080p videos very smooth here. For all the other formats you should try sw with yuv instead of 16bit or 32bit rgb.

very nice, you don't read but give advice..., dude he said already use S/W
@topic i recommand use h/w instead and test with other video files also.
hw vs sw decoder?
I thought hardware is the only way to go and software is for last resort. My AC3s are playing back in stereo and now I'm trying to figure out why...
Thanks in advance...
Anyone facing video playback problem? If I try to play a 720p or higher resolution video, the playback is very choppy as though frame rate has dropped. The play speed also jumps by 2 seconds. This is in VLC player. If I play from the phone original player, same problem but without audio.
I have tried only avi format since that's what I get from torrent.
Am I supposed to do something for a smooth playback or should I dump this beautiful phone?
I had problems woth a LITTLE choppy videos in FHD only. How choppy are those u mention? Unbearable choppy or noticeably choppy? Also, is ur battery mode set on performance (which I think is on default) and are you on the latest software?
Have you tried MX player? I use it and don't have issues with 1080p videos. You can choose how MX decodes the video, HW, HW+, or software. VLC still isn't the greatest on Android.

Yes it is noticeably choppy. And battery has been set to performance. Latest software too. Audio of the video is ac3, i think.

Yes, I did try MX player but it seems to be worse there. The audio is not even supported. At least it did in VLC. AUDiO: 192 CBR AC3 2.0. Can it play xvid and avi well? I mean the phone.
Did you try software decoding?
