[Q] [9003]Playing HD videos in mp4 format - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

That one is best of all the players.. But still lagged playback..

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] Galaxy Tab wifi Only dont want play any 720p video

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)
Takes my device about 6 seconds to finish @ 1400mhz

Galaxy Tab not only can play h.264 720P mp4 files, but also can play 1080P h.264 mp4 videos.
this is my test video file: http://hotfile.com/dl/115124852/a85f679/1080p_30000bitrate.mp4.html

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?

[q] video laggy and stutters

Is this a common problem with all the Tab 8.9's or is it just me. I have a bone stock new Tab and when I try and play youtube or other videos, it stops every couple seconds and lags ... Wallpapers all look pixelated no matter what resolution I download ...I love the Tab so far, but things that should operate without too much tweaking or manipulation seem to require a lot of work to get working correctly. I hope I dont regret the decision of not getting an Ipad
Im sorry to tell you, but all Tegra 2 devices are unable to play 720p or 1080p videos without stutter. Even with an OCd Cpu it wont (some people say, but theyre desperate just like all of us..)
Other dual cores can because they have something integrated, that we call NEON. So its not about the cpu speed at all, its about a missing function, to decode HD material (overall video material, but the cpu can handle low resolution vids).
Some codecs on the market (for ex. BSplayer) can help but it'll still be a bit laggy.
EDIT: It is possible to play 720p or 1080p videos. You have to convert the video to H.264 Baseline profile. With that, it should work.

Try mxplayer. I found anything I recorded on my S2 would stutter like mad when played back on my tab but since mxplayer upgraded and added the hw+ decoder it plays perfect. As for youtube this problem has come up since the ICS update and not much you can do about it sorry

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
Same problem... Codecs are installed for tegra 2 but video framerate is catastrophic.

Did you try with standard LG Fotocamera? I never had fullhd problems with froyo/GB/CM7/ICS
Nvidia tegra 2 cannot decode x264 or h264 formats @ 1080P resolution. Try converting the videos to MPEG-4 @ 1080 Resolution.

No problems with fullhd videos, recorded on camera. We are talking about movies downloaded to phone i.e. mkv or mp4 fullhd movies.

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.

I only recently started watching movies on my phone. DVDrip avi files work smoothly and have pretty good quality too. The 720p mp4 files don't work too good. The audio lags and sometimes the video too. Only minor lags but its still irritating. And you probably wouldn't even notice the difference avi and mp4.
i cant but no problem for this
720p video play well in 844mhz and performance governer but 1080p video lags a lot... but able to play all video... but lags hd...
