Horrible H.264 decoding

I'm not sure that how many people at here know this fact.
Tegra 2's H.264 decoding is waaaay worse than Hummingbird(Galaxy S)
It cannot run any HD H.264 video HP.

Source?
Tegra2 can decode 720p at AVC HP and 1080p at AVC MP with reasonable/usually bitrates at 30p.
€dit: Just seen that u have the korean model, right? AFAIK the LG-Player isn't supporting the mkv-container,
allthough Tegra 2 would be up for the task (at 720p30 HP) as mentioned earlyer.

I think with VLC or RockPlayer you can probably see a difference

How does x264 perform?

I think its the same issue as Adam had with the video/audio desync. Its not a hardware limitation.

I don't get it. I've tried various videos and none of them work properly. However, the demo video files that were on the device (1080p) run perfectly. No frame-skipping at all.
Is there something I'm missing?

I was kind of baffled by this too.
Brilliant playback on the included 1080p files.
So i thought yay lets grab some 1080p trailers from youtube with tubemate.
But alass. not very smooth! Think its indeed the profile that does the trick. or in this case, doesnt.
Next thought. Ok rockplayer will help me out here!.
But i wasnt too impressed with rock on my galaxy s either!.
Loaded rock. but also very crappy. Which is when u think of it, pretty logical.
Why? No hardware support! Rock doesnt even remotely know what a tegra2 soc is. and in fact, NONE of all the video apps do.
So in stead of funky tegra2 hardware decoding, you get software playback.
Ive heard some rumors about nvidia developing an android video player for tegra but i dont know if this is true or not at all.
so unless someone makes a proper video playback app (which in my opinion is way over due already! no offence but theyre all crap if u ask me!) which supports hardware playback AND tegra2 soc, it wont improve very much.
My 2 cents
Ok some more info, apperently Tegra2 isnt very great with high profile encoded. baseline and main profiles should work. more testing to do. Also everything below 1080p high profile should kind of play properly. My eyes are on VLC for android and fingers crossed for them to bring tegra2 suppot and their own great codec sets

Check the Motorola Atrix forum, on XDA (sorry cant link from mobile app), they have basically given up on playing hd h264 files on tegra 2. Such a shame.

Yes indeed. It sucks ass. I have the same unit but then from T-Mobile Netherlands. Video included works like a charm (ofcourse) but own added videos look like they are in slowmotion. 720p, 1080p doesn't mattter same issue.
Extra added flaw? When your record video in Full HD it does not play back on Full HD TV's or BD players. I checked why and found that it actually records in 1920x1088p!!!! Yes 1088P people.
FOTA updates are also not working for the T-Mobile branded unit. Comes back with validation error.

Tegra 2 limitation
Some search on the internet revealed that Tegra 2 supports fully h.264 main profile, but for high profile, it is only 720p 6MB/s, which is then not suitable for a BD. Anyway, I don't have the intention to fill in my 32 GB of storage with just one movie...
Recording in 1088p instead of 1080p is a bit more annoying, you think there could be a solution for that?

Yeah MVK-files can be played with other videoplayers on Market but I've read in reviews that it's awfully "laggy". Saw a video where they tried to play mvk in RockPlayer, i think it was, and damn... looked like 1fps!

I tried to play a mkv file yesterday with the build-in player which crashed my phone.
I installed qqplayer and am pretty satisfied with the result.

What kind of mkv did you try? 1080p?

I keep saying its a software issue causing all these troubles, i have a Adam and since the latest update i saw a improvement on the video playback.
Once we get proper support for mkv it will be awsome

Do you have a video of the adam playing back mkv?

You can search in the thread @ my sig for " Notion Ink Adam Qi Vs Motorola Xoom by Inspiron41 "
I can add that any file that i have MKV to be played has to have the extension changed to AVI and only QQPlayer can run them, if the sound quality is high more than 2 channels the fps rate will be low this happens with either 720p or 1080p. But if i try to run a MP4 file with 1080p it runs very smooth with audio and video sync, so for me its a issue with decoding of MKV.
Oh and the Adam is running froyo no multiprocessor support neither the video apps do.

[Q] [9003]Playing HD videos in mp4 format

Hi
Sorry if I posted in wrong place.
I just bought Samsung galaxy sl with super clear lcd. I am facing some major issues with playback of high definition videos in mp4 format. The default video player in my phone is not supporting the playback of high definition mp4 videos. I tried downloading at least 6-7 different video players from the android market but again facing problems. Some of the players like rockplayer and V player are able to play the same video but at a very very slow frame rate. The sound is alright but video playback is very poor with extremely slow frame rate. Its as if the video is being played in slow motion. The sound comes earlier whereas the video playback falls behind with slow framerate.
So any idea how I could play hi-definition videos is my galaxy s 4gb lcd version ?
Thanx

Stock player plays 720p easily
Ders also a Summer Player wic i like
Rock Player hs sound issues in mine...

Yes this sucks really. I have both galaxy s and sl
And s play unconverted mkv flawlessly where my sl have lag on it and also I need market play. I hope any developer modified sl player codec with original S model.
I know our sl have good gpu n cpu to run hd unconverted movie.
I hope some one will modify default play and ported S player to our phone. Like touchwiz 4.

The stock player is able to play 720p if I convert it to .avi
But mp4 is not running. I tried a lot of players from Market but to no avail.
Was not expecting this..

same problem here.. most of the videos i downloaded were 720p.. but most of the time when I try to watch the videos, frame rates were to slow... but the audio was fine,.. hmmmm?!?!

Have you tried moboplayer ?

Download Handbrake and use it to convert your videos. Since it hasn't played on 6-7 players it's likely there is something wrong with the file format. Try converting to .mkv again with one of the presets.

720P or 1080P? please try to use 手机QQ影音(Android)1.0 Beta3(168) it will be OK!

I recorded a video at highest quality and 720 using SGSL but when played they play like scatched cd or dvd, video and sound doesnt match and sometimes the video skips.
Can someone suggest. The videos are recorded on external sd card.

Its due to you ext sd quality.most probably its class 2.you need at least class 6 sd for optimum result.

where can i find this?

I've researched a lot on this topic and found that its due to our omap 3630 chip set. Its not powerful as galaxy s hummingbird. It can play 720p mp4 but not handle 1280*720 mkv no matter what you do.
I have both galaxy s and sl.
And I recently flash both with best roms available with lagfix.
What I wonder to see that smartcine n quadrant score of both.
I. Cpu part they have little difference.
2. But in graphics u have seen nearly 60% more score of galaxy s over sl.
That is the reason sl sucks in this section means hd playback but.
But after flash xxdb3 n lagfix on my sl. I am able to score mkre than 1900 on quadrant where my galaxy s score 2700.
I dont think any player from market can play mkv in hd smoothly.

i9003 can't play mkv because it don't have drivers to understand this format in stock player. If you are using other player in not system mode this means that it don't use video aceleration at all.
IE we just need native drivers for mkv and other formats

[Q] hd videos 1080p freeze

did you install mx player codecs for tegra 2? (you have them on play store as well)

yes i installed MX Player Codec (ARMv7) these are the ones anything else i can't believe that i am the only one who is experiencing this problem

Nvidia tegra 2 cannot decode x264 or h264 formats @ 1080P resolution. Try converting the videos to MPEG-4 @ 1080 Resolution.

Yes, i do encode and decode movies. SO AFAIK, tegra 2 cannot decode h264 codec.

Tegra 2 can decode 1080p coded in low profile. Medium and commonly used high profile are not supported. You can google what choices you can set up to have low profile video. Very good SW for recoding videos is handbrake. I wish you good luck with searching best encode configuration.

i downloaded the iron man 2 trailer 1080p hd video here's the LINK
i'm using mx player, temasek final build rom and stefan final symbiosis kernel
the video is sluggish to play and the sound is not matching when stark open his mouth for now i didn't using ICS rom or cm10
i also try to play the video in different decoder included on the mx player but it doesn't work

You can run 720p or 1080p fluid.. spawndk from the eepad transformer forum:
"The Tegra2 chipset are designed as a mobile sollution chipset - to support web 2 standards. The highest encoding profile used here (Youtube 1080p) are 1080p baseline and this the Tegra2 chipset will both record and play with no troubles. As well as 720p baseline and main profile - but only upto L3.1 with some limitations. It doesnt matter which container is used (mkv, mp4, m4v, avi etc) and it doesnt matter if resolution are 1080p - its only a matter of the encoding profile used to encode the supported video format H264
Tegra2 will NEVER be able to decode High profile L4.1 encodes - it's not a software issue, neither in terms of Honeycomb or Nvidia libs, its simply a limitation of the abilities of the hardwaredecoder in the Tegra2 chipset and this will never change. It is also not a limitation in the Transformer specifically, but a limitation in ALL Tegra2 based tablets and mobilephones.
This is the same reason why some mediaplayers like the Boxee Box that was originally intended to use the Tegra2 moved on to an Intel chipset before launch.
In short the Tegra2 chipset will support playback of videos encoded in 1080p or 720p resolution, using the H264 video codec and AAC audio codec - as long as the video are encoded after the baseline profile standard
It will not now or ever - play 1080p/720p encodes encoded after the high profile standard."
So basically, you have to reencode videos just like on ipad..

you should reencode to low profile, high profile is for blu-ray device or PC. don't know maybe exynos 5 can play high profile [email protected] with handheld.

Thread moved. Please post all question threads here in Q&A in future where they belong.

[Q] Can HTC One handle 10-bit video ?

I have galaxy S3 and it can handle 10-bit 480p, but 10-bit 720p video runs slow
Is HTC one powerful enough to handle 10-bit 720p video smoothly ? Can someone test it ?
Note: The default media player probably won't play 10-bit videos. So, download MX Player from google play, and make sure you use S/W (software mode) for playing 10-bit video.
Also, you can easily find countless of 720p 10-bit animes if you use google. So, please someone test it for me.

Anyone ?

I doubt many of us are familiar with 10 bit video. Try asking the int'l One forum, they already have the phone available.

Lol full metal alchemist... love the anime... it play fine on my tab s 8.4 with bsplayer and its extra 7arm codec.
Mxplayer was ok last time but now since they lose some codec due to licensing issue some of the high quality video just play choppy since its use sw mode only.
Btw the tab s also lacking some codec. Dont know why samsung left out some of the codec although the device are capable.

HW wasnt supported. so it was SW.

It's working just fine on my tab 10.5 exynos processor. However i had to turn off all the codec codes and run on pure hardware acceleration for it to work. Goes to show the exynos processor can play videos just fine without any hardware codec or software aid.

I wouldn't know about the Mali GPU capabilities, but I also thought a Snapdragon800 should be able to playback Hi10p, hence I was interested on getting the 'supposed' Snapdragon version of the Tab S 8.4.
The new Mali -T764- though, seems to support 10bit decoding and H265/HEVC, so I was kinda hoping the T628 Mali would do also 10bit decoding...

I hadn't read you... so you got that Hi10p sample that CazeW posted playing back smoothly? which player did you use?

That clip played fine on my 10.5 thru BS Player but SW mode only. All my 1080p rips play in HW mode so not sure... This is still a great device for multimedia.

I use a media player that is banned by ios and android called xbmc or soon to be renamed to kodi. The best media player ever!
It runs great on either software or hardware accelerometer alone.

BTW i just bought a Tab s8.4 today, and tried the sample straight away using vlc, smooth playback, will try with the video I could not play with an galaxy s4, which is higher bitrate, if it plays back I would be officially in love with the thing.

No luck, tried a high bitrate video (with embedded subtitles), the same I used on the Galaxy S4, and it plays better but is still unwatchable Both with VLC and KmPlayer. I will install xbmc and BSPlayer tonight but I fear the results will be the same :/

Hi eousphoros, last night I tried with MX Player, HW+ mode did not work, but software&multi core mode seemed to play it back about fine, not absolutely perfect, but watchable, as soon as I flash a custom kernel a play with settings a bit I'm sure it will improve the missing -tiny- bit. Thanks for the tip. Will try also BS-Player&XBMC.
