I have my Droid 3 days ago, with OMAP4430 it has a very strong video playback ability, rmvb/H.264/WMV all could be done by HW mode.
But I notice that it's very disapointing to play online flash video, not smooth and with a poor resizing effect, seems like it does not use GPU accelerate at all. (in HTML5 mode not smooth too.)
I also did a test on Atrix 4G with Tegra 2, it plays perfectly even without Neon.
Do I need to change a ROM or ... Just because Droid 3 is not full supported by Flash ? ( http://www.adobe.com/flashplatform/certified_devices/ )
Odd. I have used flash before and it seemed to run well, a lot better than my OG Droid with a 1.1 GHz OC.

Oh, Maybe I need another ROM...
HW decoding on D3 looks like a joke atm, I use rockplayer that let you choose between HW and SW mode to play videos, and sw mode is waaaay smoother than HW mode

Hi i bought my DS7 a while ago and I upgraded it to HC.
And I've noticed that under HC the video playback in internet browser i really choppy it used to be like that on Froyo as well but on HC it's even worse.
Sometimes video just stop for about 5-7 seconds and just skip forward after a while. The sound is fine.
I'm watching a normal quality 360p/480p straight from the webiste.
While I'm using YouTube app everything is fine even in high res videos.
Everything is smooth.
What may cause it ? Any ideas ?
My internet connection is 14Mb/s.
And I always connect via wi-fi cause I've got the wi-fi only model.
I really like that tablet but the choppy video playback is killing me.
And I don't want to sell it just because of that.
What websites are you watching off of?
Flash on android can accelerate some types of video, but not all.
I dont have any issues streaming 480p / h264(avc)+aac to my s7.
I would assume it could take up to 1080i/p if it wasnt for the fact the screen cant display it at all IF the video is in a format that can be accelerated.
Youtube switched over to h264 a while back as the iphones couldnt render vp6(or whatever it was) at all; so all but the oldest, unupdated videos are h264 which is accelerated.
Other websites can use whatever codec their flash video player allows, which potentially means you're watching a video in a codec that isnt accelerated on android = choppy even at low res.
I'm reading lots of websites.
Mostly www.gamezilla.pl, www.ppe.pl, www.gadżetomania.pl, www.ps3site.pl
These are polish websites about games and gadgets.
Could anyone try them on yours DS7 ?
I hate iPad and other 9/10 inch tablets but when I go to the mall and I try one of them with my favourite websites and it's always so super smooth I think more and more about buying one and selling my precious DS7 ...
If it's Android's fault or tegra's 2 then all I can do really is to buy a new tablet ;/
Can you provide a specific example?
I opened a random video and it works fine, it's also 720p
http://gamezilla.komputerswiat.pl/filmy/2011/39/guild-wars-2
Generally if it doesnt work on android it wont work on ios either as android supports more stuff (mainly via flash, non flash is equal)
Bummer ... Maybe I've got to much trash on my device.
I'll try to reset the whole thing to factory settings and I'll try it on fresh and clean setup. If that won't help then I'll look arround for different device I guess.
Thanks for trying anyway
If you can find a working example odds are it wont work on any tablet.
If that's the case only thing you can really do is yell at the website because they're using codecs that arnt favored by any platform (pcs can get-by by brute forcing their way though)
Let me see.
I watched this news today and it was really choppy all 3 YT videos :
http://www.ppe.pl/news-12500-PlayStation_Vita_wyladowalo_w_Japonii.html
Hmm strange, it's slightly choppy if you watch though the miniplayer.
But if you click the youtube button it loads and is completely smooth, so it's not the video itself. There's a possibility it's the miniplayer not behaving.
The youtube site player is a HTML5 one i believe, so it might either be flash or the player itself that's the issue. In this one example i'd say to just watch it though youtube, but that's not applicable on other sites if they're also giving issue.
From what I know if this happened on ios you simply end up with no video at all if it doesnt have the HTML5 version available. Assuming you dont watch it though the youtube app (which would still be recommeneded for both platforms if possible)
The reason i like to watch straight from the webiste is that its much more easy, less taping etc.
Just one tap and after watching I can carry on reading the news.
Thanks for help.
Have you tried Dolphin Hd browser. I stopped using the stock ds7 browser for the same reason

Hi
I am about to buy an optimus 2x, but before that i have to know once and for all-
does 720p mkv work with dice player/mxplayer with hardware decoding at least decently?
i sold my i9000 to replace it, how are the video capabilities of the 2X if you compare it to the i9000?
i'd appreciate a fast answer- the deal is supposed to be done tomorrow
thanks
The o2x can only hardware-decode a very limited number of 720p videos (some tv shows you "find" on the internet works, other do not, most movies lag), however with software decoding (for example with mx player) it can play another bunch of videos, still not all though. Do not buy this phone for it's video playback capabilities.
wrong forum
Guys.... this is wrong section for you...

Really?
Haven't had a problem yet.
720p with dolby digital (software audio decode mode), DTS (software decode mode).
MP4 with CABAC and 3+ ref frames, shouldn't be possible but it works fine and in hardware too.
HDMI output is clean and has no issues, even with 25ft cables.
Maybe I'm lucky, maybe ergoen wasn't...
I really haven't found a movie that I can't play, I even stream them from my PC/router by mounting the drives in cifs manager and playing them in either mx player or quick pic player.
640x480= 480p
Screen Res= 800x480
SD space=limited
Hardware mode seems to get better battery life,software decoding a 720p movie used around 95% battery over 2 hours with airplane mode on
Hardware decoding a 480p TV show used 25% in 50 minutes, airplane mode on.

specifically, hardware acceleration was working now doesn't
it was working perfectly fine, then, sometimes it would switch the sw mode, and going back to hw mode freezes mx player
updated to latest player
now, hw mode isnt even an option anymore
(on a2)
What type of video file is it. I know this happens with .wmv but other files like .mp4 work just fine when you changebetween hw/sw decoder.
Same issue. Stops playing when I use HW acceleration. It's a 720p .avi file...not sure what codec it is (probably .h264?)
Just tried it with the latest nightly (I know it worked a few weeks ago) and it seems to work sometimes.
hmm ok. Will try updating. Does it also work with mkv files? (for some reason
Same happened to me. Switched to Dice Player and it plays all my videos in HW mode.

yes, i just discovered this 2 weeks ago
shame, mx player is alot better, it can actually full screen a video
I'm having troubles with stuttering when I'm trying to play 1080p blue ray content over HDMI. I have tried stock 2.3 and CM7 both with similar results. I noticed that when I overclock to 1.4ghz stuttering is less. My question is how is possible to play without stuttering?

to me it worked with no problem
i have a friend who works in a service shop who tested it for me
he tested on an LG TV
maybe it`s because of the TV?
i also put a video filmed with the phone on my Samsung TV worked ok also
Well I think "1080p Blue Ray" is too much.
I usually convert my vids to 720p mp4, it plays flawless that way. The phone is not a dedicated video player
O, wait, I'm assuming you're using the stock video player, no? Cause if you're not, that may be the issue.
Other players in the market use software decoding, while LG's stock use hardware decoding. Given LG has full access of the Tegra's code, it allows the player to make full use of the chipset's power.
i think i might know. it`s stuttering because the amount of data needed to be processed by the phone is too big. since you said it`s blue-ray.
also the vid is probably big. more than 8GB. since the standard format used by the phones is FAT. you probably converted it to NTFS or exFAT?
I m trying to play 720p mkv videos with my LG optimus 4xhd. The performance is mostly decent in terms of both audio and video but there is sometimes little lagging and twitch in both audio and video. I have tried many different video players and MX player with hw acceleration has offered by far the best performance. It would still be desirable to have lag free video experience so, I would like to know if there is any way to do this with optimus 4xhd, or do I just have to accept that having a PC like flawless video experience with tegra 3 device just is not possible?
I am currently on CM 10.1 RC2 rom and have rooted and unlocked the bootloader.
Thanks for your help in advance.

It's probably ROMs bug, try some newer nightie. I'm on JB and i play 1080p with absolutely no problem so it's not hardware associated problem. I use BS player.
I would like to stick with RC versions since at least since I last checked about a week ago, there was some gps and bluetooth audio problems for me with latest nighty version at that time. In RC 3 and 4 I on the other hand lost IMEI and could not make phone calls, but if there is no other way, I guess I have to give latest nighty version a shot, since if I remember correctly, I had this problem with both LG stock roms as well.
And I have also tried BS player, but still in some parts there is slightly noticeable lag sometimes.
