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.
Hi everyone.
I am a user of a Galaxy Tab Wifi only Euro version (gt-p1010).
My problem is:
I can't play any mkv/mp4/wmv file in 720p with the stock player or others (rockplayer, arcsoft, etc). I tried several files (more than 15 files).
It's very stange because in the box yo can read that it can play HD video (only 720p).
Can anyone have this issue in my model "wifi only"?
Thanks
Wifi tab's graphics chip is weaker than gsm/cdma tabs'. Try playing low profile videos

720p is actually quite generic. My guess, based on the picture you posted, is that it can handle 720p in mp4, like for example a 720p divx but not the most common type of hd video: h264. That one requires plenty of power, and so far no mobile device can handle it if decoded via raw cpu power, even the P1000 can't... and that's where hardware decoding comes in to save the day.

Thanks¡¡¡¡ You're absolutely right.
After your answer, I've tried to play some files in h264 ( resolution between 720p or lower and 720p divx / xvid).
The results have been very enlightening.
The "galaxy tab only wifi model" can decode 720p if the file is NOT H264.
With that compression the galaxy's stock player cant play any file(At very low resolutions they can play via software decoder in rockplayer at +-30fps).

In Quadrant, there is a part where it tests the H.264 decoding of the CPU (at least on my GT-P1000, there is)

Guys I'm having problems playing MKV files on my Galaxy Tab. If I use the standard player, Vital Player or RockPlayer the quality is absolutely OUTSTANDING, but no sound!
Whereas apxf888's mp4 file works a treat.
Any suggestions?
Ok i'm a touch confused and on the cusp of blowing my bonus on the 8.9!
Can it play back HD video content well? I'm not planning huge movie sessions but a lot of my tv these days is mkv 720 rather than SD and I will be planning to watch things in bed/on the train to work etc
Can it handle 1080 at all?
Searching the forums the answer seems yes & no. ICS and we should be onto a winner but my god I'm
I've got a galaxy sII and it's brilliant.
which 8.9 version do you plan on getting? If it is the LTE, this thread should clear up the video performance question.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422072
also, this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400657
I'm going for just the wifi version, when you say LTE I'm again a little confused is that the 3g one or a diff chipset on the wifi? Or is that the graphics chipset? The 7310 is the wifi correct? That's the one I'm looking at.
I'm in the uk if that makes any difference, looking at most of the specs on offer it's proving a nightmare to figure out via companies webpages which version it is! I've seen a few as 7310a...
Getting it with 3g seems a touch redudant when I can just use my galaxy sII as a wireless hub if needs be.
You'd never guess I'm normally good at this stuff, there jsut seems a tonne of differing information on this.
based on my experience...

Ok Shadey1, these are the differences:
SGT P7300/7310 = SOC tegra 2 = big problems with video HD (h.264) and BIG BIG problems with FullHD
SGT i957 = SOC Snapdragon = NO PROBLEMS with video HD (any) and I have yet to try FullHD (but they are very hopeful)
SGT P7320 = SGT i957
and again
SGT (samsung galaxy tab) i957 is USA version with 4G (or LTE) and new SOC snapdragon
SGT P7320 should be european version with 4G (or LTE) and new SOC snapdragon (for example, sold in Sweden but not in the UK)
SGT P7300/7310 is european (and others countrys) version with SOC tegra 2
P.S. tonight I check the compatibility of my i957 and FullHD video, so I update this message
Max
You sure the 7320 is the exact same as the 957?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
So I when you say that the 7300/7310 will not play h.264 or Full HD, but on Samsung's website it states:
"1080p playback, 3GP, MP4, AVI, WMV, FLV, MKV (Codec: MPEG4, H.263, Sorenson H.263, H.264, VC-1"
What videos are talking about that are h.264 vs above? Is it blu ray rips, self encoded videos, just trying to figure this out?
So in short if I want a wifi only version I'm stuck with Tegra 2, and the only way that's playing my 720+ files is if I root and ICS the thing...
Well I'd have ended up doing that anyway knowing me, so maybe i'm not that far up the creek.
Thanks for all the info.

i have the tegra version. (rooted, ics, overclocked) i can play most 720p material without problems. tried various different stuff and it all worked pretty well. even streaming over my homenetwork.
1080p is iffy. sometimes works sometimes doesn't seems to depend on the bitrate.
but as i said 720p works fine for me.
i've 7310 rooted with ics oc to 1.4
and tv shows on 720p plays fine but movies on 720p can get laggy sometimes.
frankly i am a bit disaapointed.
Sigh, I went and saw one in the flesh yesterday I really like it, but if there is such an issue with hd content it's really putting me off. Obviously it's the higher bitrate stuff that causes it so I doubt most of my tv stuff would cause issues but it's disappointing.
I have realized that this high profile issue seems to plague pretty much all Tegra 2 tablets, meaning pretty much most on the market right now. So it is either get a TF Prime(which has Tegra 3) or wait for something better to come along.
There is also the I957 option which in the US, is the Tab 8.9 4G version from AT&T. It is 16GB, but has a Snapdragon S3 and I have read it has no problems with video.
The only thing keeping me from going that route is the dev support, there is more with the P7300/P7310 than there are with the I957, there isn't even a ROM. Only root, kernal, and recovery, I believe.

If it's blatantly a tegra 2 issue I'm tempted to wait on the next 8.9 tablet, though if it works with ICS and little to no issues wehn oc'd i'm tempted to bite the bullet now!
I went ahead and ordered one from Amazon - 7310 32G for $419. It will be here tomorrow since I have "Prime." I'll try a variety of players once I get it.
Same here,i tried moboplayer,mx Player rockplayer and none of dem can get My mkv to work without lags.
In the rendering settings i only can Set sw-rendering, hardwarerendering isnt choosable
Hmm which ics Rom shall i take for.best playbackperformance?
One thing I've read is it seems to vary on the playback depending on the bitrate of the file, so 2 or3 different files and let them play out. see what happens then?
Galaxian Soup seems one of the best options from what I'm reading.
Any update AODfan?

This basically puts me off the Tab 8.9, I'm not so fussed about 1080 but 720 covers far too much of my tv rendering it uselss for watching on the train, in bed etc.

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

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.

Hi
Please somebody confirm is Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 capable of playing 1080p 10 bit (mostly anime) videos?
(please also include info what player you have used, mode of playback, hardware, sowftware, version of a tablet etc)
I am really interested in buying this tablet and the screen is just gorgeous but I am also an anime fan and would like to watch my anime in the highest possible quality on it.

I'm considering getting one of the Tabs to avoid carrying my -huge- laptop to watch stuff in other rooms. Also, maybe there's a difference between exynos vs snapdragon regarding video playback capability. Any input appreciated!
And just to confirm... from what I've been reading, T700=Exynos and T705=Snapdragon? there's no T705-Exynos based?

I have yet to see the first Snapdragon for the Tab S series, all of them have been Exynos, i believe that they might use Snapdragon in the NA models to come around november to Verizon and T-Mobile but right now, the LTE and WiFi versions T700-705-800 and 805 are using Exynos.
Video playback has been smooth on my T705 (lossless 1080 flac).

I tried a Hi10P video on a Snapdragon600 based S4 mobile and playback was very choppy -using BSPlayer-, do you know if there's 10bit HW decoding support on the Exynos running the new TABs?

What player were you using? SW or HW decoding? Prolly in SW decoding mode any of these won't be able to produce smooth playback and from what a quick reading on the specs and a couple of sites, the Mali GPU on the Exynos SoC would not support 10bit video decoding... so if I'm not wrong, there goes my hope...

There's no GPU, PC or mobile, that supports hi10p decoding. That said, I have a hard time believing that the Tab S wouldn't be able to play 1080p hi10p videos smoothly as my old Nexus 10 with a far slower CPU almost pulls that off and my Z1c with a Snapdragon 800 plays them smoothly (granted, it's a much lower resolution screen but still) with MX Player.
I've put a test video in the link below that people can try to see if it plays smoothly. MX Player is recommended.

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.

Where do you guys get these 10bit Anime series from. I normally stream them from Anime.fullfights so quality is never really HD (it says 720p but most likely a bit compressed)

General torrent sites or dedicated anime trackers.
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.
