hi everybody
I hope I can find my answer here
I have problem in playing wmv and mp4 movies ( I have CorePlayer). when I play them they have kind of crashes while playing. I think the bitrate is the problem. plz tell me what bitrates my VIVA can play without problem? or can I do something to play high bitrate movies on my device?
Hello Community,
so I gat the following problem:
The phone should show and record 1080p and 720p videos. No problem with recording, but I gat a problem with playing a video. Every 1280x720 / 1680x1050 / 1920x1080 video is constantly laggy, but the sound works perfect.
640x360 videos are working perfect, no matter what codec.
The sample videos in 1920x1080 are working perfect, so I think it's a problem with the codecs, but all videos are H264, so what's the problem here?
I hope you can help me!
Thanks,
Max
ps: found no topic about that thing, I hope it's not already existing!
I think tegra 2 doesn't support it (yet?)
Sent from my Optimus 2X using XDA Premium App
aren't they in mkv container? if that's the case, then it's normal... no mkv support yet
sorry but you both failed at my answer.
The LG P990 does support 1920x1080! As I mentioned above the sample videos are working perfectly, but other videos in 1920x1080 are laggy , even when it's the same codec, so what's the problem here?
what do you mean with mkv container?
For all who have the same problem:
I gat the answer now:
The H264 Profile of the video files must be baseline, otherwise your video will lag
You can convert to h264 baseline for example with the program SUPER
Regards,
Max
the problem is the encoding profiles used to create the videos you try to play
You dont mention where these videos come from or if you encoded them yourselves, but video are much more than just the codec.
When videos are encoded there are many different encoding settings that can be used, settings like bitrate, resolution, macroblocks, cabac, reference frames, b-frames, etc. etc. - for H264 these different settings is arranged into something called profiles and levels. Levels go from 1 up to 5.1 and profiles is called baseline, main and high
Each level and profile describe the set of encoding settings that can be used.
Read more details here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC
Different types of content for playback on different kinds of units allows different profiles and levels, like HDTV specifies a maximum profile level to be used and Bluray another maximum profile level to be used. The idea is then that manufacturers of Bluray hardware decoders design their hardware codecs to support up to the maximum profile level for Bluray (which is High L4.1)and the content creators can encode their Bluray videos to the same specifications and thereby ensure that the content can be played on Bluray players.
The Tegra2 chipset support recording and playback of content up to 1080p, but that is only a specification of the resolution - you also have to know which maximum profile levels of encoding specifications it support before you can encode video properly for the Tegra2 chipset. And since it isnt designed for Bluray but for mobile use, it doesnt support the same high encoding specifications as Bluray but only a lower profile level.
The maximum supported profile level for the Tegra2 is 1080p Baseline L4.0 or 720p Baseline L3.1
If you download pirated HD movies, then most of these are encoded with similar or even higher specifications as Bluray movies - these will not play on a Tegra2 chipset.
And if you encode yourself, then you have to ensure that the settings you choose in the encoding application does not exceed the specifications supported by the Tegra2 chipset.
In short - if you download movies you can never be sure it will play because you have no control of how it was encoded. If you want to make sure videos will play, you have to encode them yourself and make sure to use the correct settings.
The videos you have that doesnt play right, will have to be reencoded with correct settings to play.
Edit: I see you found an answer while I was writing this
thanks for the answer
just something to add: The baseline things just getting important when the resolution is higher than 640x480 , my LG P990 can display all videos with all codecs and baselines with 640x480 but 1920x1080 for example will lag So these films are not a problem, because mostly they are 640x480 for mobile phones and not higher, that your Card isn't full with 2 vids
so what program would be best to convert a video to, as stated above :-
The maximum supported profile level for the Tegra2 is 1080p Baseline L4.0 or 720p Baseline L3.1
I normally use Total video Converter but cant find any of the L4.0 ect setting on it.

Hi,
is there any chance to play smoothly full HD movies? I don't mean the vids, that are made by the phone, but full HD rips.
I have many movies in full HD, I convert them to mp4/mkv with video bitrate 1000-2000 Kbps.
I have tried many players: mobo, mx, dice ... and no success. The videos are running very slowly.
I'm running now CM 7.1.
Is there any chance to play these movies eg. with overclocked CPU or wiped RAM?
Or is the phone not so "strong" to play such videos.
Many thanks for your replies
Roman
That's a tricky one but already asked several times ^^. You need to reencode the videos into Baseline Profile 4.0 If am I not mistaken.
yes, I know, that the phone normally doesn't play vids in High profile (default by full HDs). but I would to ask, if somebody was successfull with replay of full HDs without reencoding with OC or wiped RAM or something else

Some things first: High profile is not necessarily the standard for full HD movies. It's used with blurays, HDTV-streams and youtube.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you won't be able to watch those videos without reencoding because of the Tegra's hardware limitations. It's possible to watch 720p with a Tegra 2 @ 1.4 GHz (but you need a player that accepts those files and has Tegra 2 optimized codecs, like MX video player or Mobo player).
1080p isn't even playable in main profile with the Tegra 2. You have to use base profile options.
hay everyone,
Can anyone tell me how to remove video lag while playing mkv videos of resolution 670x260,it's even not hd but it still lag in ace-i.
I am using mx player ...plz reply if anyone know to solve this problem...........
Only H.264 videos are "fast" on this device.
It should play that resolution normally on h264
Hello everyone,
I'm new here, I don't know nothing about what you are all talking about here ^^ BUT a friend told me that the new update allow the O2X to play MKV files > Is that true ? He told me trough an email.
I happy with the version I have right now and if it supports mkv with the new update, I will definitely install it.
Thanks for reading me.
I think we could always do it with certain programmes because the mobile can process it. But according to wikipedia, 4.0 reproduces mkv natively so yes, it should.

Hi friend,
Yes the latest V30a ICS update allows MKV format to play on native video player app.Also flv video format is also supported by the native video player.Checked on my O2x.Just that 1080pi full HD videos are not supported yet.So have fun watching vids or movies without the inconvenience of converting

Thanks I will definitely update ! Mkv + hdmi on the O2X make it a good device.
:good: for the flv, my friend didn't know that
The O2X has been able to play MKV's since Gingerbread...but only to a low profile level. MKV's downloaded (tv shows etc) are all 720p HIGH Profile and the phone could not support that as the Tegra chip couldnt handle the HIGH profile.
Are you saying that our phones can now play 720p HIGH profile MKV's...because, if it can, I may actually update!

i try using mxplayer, with 720p High profile @L4.1 still the video lags and not smooth using s/w decoder. i think with handheld, it can't play mkv with high profile. only use low profile and it's playback smoothly
Thanks to Ncyde47 on another thread here...a much better explanation....
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..

Friend,
As you said that O2x was able to play MKV video format since GB but in a low profile level.But after the O2x was updated to latest V30a ICS upgrade the native video player app is supporting more formats and can play 720p high profile MKV video formats.I tried to play 720p BRRIP x264 dual audio.mkv movie and it played smoothly, without any audio delay as experienced in GB.Only problem that i faced with native video player was that i was unable to select the preferred audio language in dual audio mkv file as there is no option to select audio language.Other wise native video player is superb:good:.
Thread moved. Please post all question threads here in Q&A in future where they belong.
Thanks
AvRS
that is great to know. love mkv.
L3.1 can be called High profile yet and O2x can handle it with 720p. sometimes i find some video that physicaly gets over phone posibilities. its played with HW decoder and its not very smooth.
if you want to made 1080p videos, use handbrake and set the settings with tegra decoding possibility manual. But i dont know if something changed with ICS, but i was not able mount SD card with other FS than fat32 and there is not posible to have file with more size than 4GB and its not enough for 1080p movie in low profile

You attached thumbnail indicates that what you were sucessfully watching was indeed an MKV file (a 720p rip) but it does not indicate the profile of the file.
Most downloaded high definition MKV video files, especially tv shows, are MKV files (at 720p) encoded to HIGH profile level 4.0 or above. In Gingerbread these files would not play unless they were converted to mp4 at a lower profile than HIGH (I used BASELINE). This is a limitation of the Tegra 2 chipset in the phone.
Your Cloverfield file is an MKV, but I strongly suspect that the profile of the file is lower than HIGH (the file size is too small for a high definition, HIGH profile encoded movie with that runtime)
Sadly, im still not convinced the phone will play an MKV high definition file encoded at HIGH Profile 4.0 or above. And I dont intend to risk upgrading to ICS (with all the problems that could bring) to find out.
However, I would love to be proved wrong....
