[Q] is 720p video possible?

i think someone talked about this before but i can't find the thread in searches. is it completely impossible to get 720p video out of the milestone?

likely possible, just depends on how many frames you would like per second...
The camera seems to be high enough quality to capture the pixels you require but the phone may not be able to process/compress the video stream, given the frame rate you may desire.
I'm not totally sure, but I imagine that's going to be the overall consensus.

Cannot be done.
I believe the phone itself couldn't keep up.

No enough hardware for 720p on milestone

I believe once you root the phone and overclock the hardware, it should run video at 720p

is this true?
how would u go about enabling 720p video recording?
that would be awesome!
i have already rooted and overclocked to 900mhz

I don't know if is it possible since we can't even play 720p .mkv videos, which I believe needs less cpu/ram power than recording 720p videos in high frame rate.
Furthermore, Milestone's camera isn't that good at all, why you would want to record a 720p video with a bad camera sensor?

with camera.apk change this is possible?

Playing 720p files is perfectly possible, but recording, hmm maybe at 24 or less FPS so why bother I prefer D1 at 24+ FPS, than laggy 720p,

It should be 720p video recording min requirements are 30 fps rate. Nexus one at best have 25fps. Our phone runs from 30 without root even motorola has specs sheet.. I think it was Verizon who told Motorola not to add 720P video recording. Just to make users upgrade to Droid Incredible and Droid x . In the Froyo update to Droid Last Summer. Milestone will get 720 p video recording in the new update 2.2 os in Europe. You can always talk to Matt from Motorola to verified my statement.

Hi cry3200, could you tell me how do you play 720p .mkv videos??
It's the only thing I wish my Milestone could do and can't get it done. My videos don't play flawlessly whatever video-player/settings I've tried.
I only get 720p+ videos and I would love to play them in my Milestone without having to encode them in lower quality...

Hi there,
first off all i don't need this feature on my phone...
It doesn't make sense to me if the video resolution is higher than the display resolution.
Anyway, no doubt it is quite interesting thing from the technical point of view.
At least some things should be fulfilled:
- hardware support for 720p
- enough bandwitdh on the memory subsystem
- application to handle HD video files
So i took a look into the processors datasheet:
Code:
· XGA - 1024 ´ 768 VESA timings at 60 fps (pixel clock = 63.5 MHz)
· WXGA - 1280 ´ 800 VESA timings at 59.91 fps (pixel clock = 71 MHz)
· SXGA+ - 1400 ´ 1050 direct drive of LCD with minimal blanking at 50 fps (pixel clock = 75
MHz)
· HD 720p - 1280 ´ 720 CEA 861-D timings at 60 fps (pixel clock = 74.25 MHz)
Looks like hardware would basically supporting this.
From my point of view the rest of hardware should be powerful enough to handle it as well (at least it is a SoC with PoP memory).
There's also a high speed connection to the display.
Last but not least the CPU is very similar too the one used on beagleboard.
AFAIK you may play HD on this hardware.
IMHO there might be some trouble on the milestone because of the resolution missmatch.
Please correct me if i'm wrong!
Regards,
scholbert

Just use VPlayer, set the quality in options to Speed or High Quality, and experiment with the buffer for different container types, MKV files should not exceed your card speed I use a class 10 card but the stock is a class 2, but usually I use MP4 720p files that I encode from MKV 1080p, I encode on the GPU so by the time I drink a coffe and smoke a cigarette its almost encoded, original MKV 720p has some audio/video sync issues with VPlayer so I dont use them, but if you overclock to 1.2 or 1.25GHz the sync problems are gone, I dont really remember a bit rate to tell you for encoding, but try with 2000-3000kb/s and see if it works I usually use between 3000-4000kb/s with my card
Just experiment,
EDIT: Forgot to mention, not all of the movies encoded play flawlessly but I'd say that 90 percent of them work, but keep in mind you need to overclock to 1GHz minimum so if you don't want to do that it wont work, and use FroyoMod cause its the fastest and most stable rom available, Gingerbread has problems with VPlayer it just crashes; but the problem is VPlayer itself

Thank you for your answer.
- The only reason i wanted this to work out-of-the-box is to not have to encode, etc.. Just copy the files in SD Card and press Play..
- I am always in 1.1GHz, I will try 1.2GHz..
- I encoded a couple of 720p .mkv files in MP4 with excellent (same I think..) quality with Handbrake and they played absolutely fine in Milestone. I just want to avoid this encoding process.
I will follow your advice and see what happens. First of all I guess I have to change the stock mSD with one faster.

Thanks for all the replies regarding this. I just figured that since the camera sensor has the pixels it should be able to fire out the extra res. I'm not concerned with the screen mismatch as the videos don't get played back on device, they get put on my computer and youtibe, both of which will benefit from the extra pixels.

[Q] best video resolution ?

which is best video resolution can be watch on xperia x8...
currenly using minicm 7.
only can watch max 480p? or we can watch even 720p on youtube ?

480p, It is useless to watch 720p video on a 480p screen....
On youtube it is another story, the bitrate of youtube 480p is too low to be consider as "clear video"
But If you would converting a video, 480p & video bitrate between 300 (low) to 1800 is the range of our x8 without any lag

[Q] Can it play high bitrate 1080p videos?

I am thinking of getting this phone. I would like to know if it can play high bitrate MKV/MP4/TP/TS video files (like music videos of 1GB size). Anyone tried this yet?
I would also like to know if it can handle 10bit videos as well though I think this will be based on the app/player....
Thanks!
4sashi got loads of HQ music videos which you can try

Video quality in this phone is satisfactory. I'm playing some 1080 HD videos/movies with MX player and Movies app with no problems so far... Out of topic..can you give me a site which has HD quality pictures?

Sorry i dont have a site for that. Would you mind if you download something from the bluray mvs from 4sashi and try it out in sp?

cmon guys
need your help on this

The 1080p videos recorded by the SP are of 20mbps bitrate (much higher than most movies/tv episodes) and they play back just fine
I watched some game of thrones 1080p episodes, 2.2gb in size each and they played fine

Dude my internet is too slow to download blu-ray vids, but i downloaded some 1080p 60fps vids. I'll try it later.

thanks guys
will be waiting for more updates regarding the 60fps video you mentioned
i will also try to look for shops with demo units

You can play videos with 40mbps bitrate,
but 1080p 60fps videos are freezing and bouncing on stock player

i am really interested to know if it can handle music videos (1 gigabytes in file size)....
I have a couple of TS and TP files with file sizes of 1-2 gigabytes and based on media info, they have an average of 36000kbps bit rate. (note they are only music videos of around 3-5 minutes in length)
i am just too lazy to convert my video files thats why i am asking this.
even my e8400 is suffering from frame skips when trying to play them :cyclops:
anyways im off to check this phone for myself hehe

I played some 1920 x 1080 videos and it worked fine.
However, my phone can't handle the video with 1080p 60fps.The Audio skips and the video is quite laggy ..
The only phone i know that can play heavy 4k videos so far is the Z1

ok so i went ahead got this phone
it just cant play some of my videos hehehe
i used mxplayer by the way
oh well just need to convert them again...
thanks guys
still i am quite satisfied with this phone
now i need to root my phone..... and some other stuff

Plays 1080p
I have Xperia SP,I've tested a couple 1080p videos that I downloaded,ran them pretty well;no problems
---------- Post added at 07:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 AM ----------
I've had a Galaxy mini 2 and I rooted and unrooted it,but My new SP;don't think that I'm gonna root it

After a year using this phone...
1-Support 720p & 1080p up to 40Mbps bitrate(BluRay.ts using MX player with custom codec)
2-Support 720p at 60fps without lagging both on MX player or Stock player (Bravia might not working,Work only on first 10 second)

I'm surprised the Tab S doesn't play 4K files natively

Greetings all,
I played around with this tablet yesterday evening at the BB in Burbank CA. Very nice tablet, great design and of course the screen is to die for. With the venture into 4K, I want my next tablet to be able to handle 4K files natively with hardware decoding. I currently have the Sony Xperia Z tablet.
The Tablet S has the same processor as my Note 3 so there must be something in the code that doesn't allow for 4K playback (I transferred two 4K clips via Wi-Fi Direct to the table; one shot from the Note 3 and one from the Sony FDR-AX100 4K camcoder).
There was a post on most of the major phone sites that said Samsung was demoing a 4K panel in a 10" form factor tablet, with a possible winter release. I'm all over that!
Cheers.

Yeah, I also can't wait for smartwatches that can play 4K video.
Oh wait, no point.

4k on tablets will be very expensive, one they do arrive. But the video quality on such a small screen will not offset the price. It's not going to knock us out of the water. Just like you can't tell the difference in resolution, on small television sets, above 720p

Don't be a douche! I was sharing information that I discovered on a new product, if you didn't like the news, then you shouldn't have commented on it!
I have a 4K TV, 4K camcorder and my Note 3 records AND PLAYS 4K so there's a point for me and anyone else with a positive interest in newer tech.

Sure enough, it won't play them. I also downloaded an LG demo clip from You Tube (2300p !?!) and it refused to play as well. The Tab S recognized the file and correctly displayed the information but no go. Perhaps a firmware update can fix that. The demo Samsung supplies with the tablet is 1600p.

Wouldn't you need something like the Snapdragon 805 for 4k playback?
This is one of reasons I'm not that keen on the Tab S - the CPU spec is not that appropriate for the screen size

Why would you want to play a 4k video file on a 2k screen?

Because I can record it on my note 3, so of course I want to play it on my 2k display since I can't shoot 2k video.
Otherwise I have to watch it at 1080p on my tiny phone screen.
Why do so many people when they read a question immediately have to ask "why do you want to do that" or "don't do that it's stupid".

Lack of real-life experiences and not yet imagining the possibilities. I can understand the "why" question if it is followed by some comment that reveals a genuine interest in seeking knowledge.

The only reason I asked is because the tablet screen is only 2k and 4k won't look any better, but I now understand your dilemma of not being able to record 2k video on your phone.

Youtube now supports 4K video. Is there a way to play these from the native youtube app on this tablet?

The way I do it is download tubemate and it allows you to download YouTube video from 240p all the way up to 4k

4K Android Video Player
Try this app. It is expensive though. It is a player that plays the H265 codec.
Search for the Hoid P HEVC H265 Video Player.

You sure you have the Exynos version of the Note 3?
http://nerdict.com/enable-60fps-fullhd-video-recording-exynos-samsung-galaxy-note-3/
The main differences between the 2 versions are clock speeds and number of core. But there is one thing the Snapdragon version is capable of. It can record videos at 4k resolution (3840 pixels × 2160 lines) at 30FPS (Frames per Second), while The Exynos version can only record upto FullHD 1080p resolution (1920 pixels x 1080 lines).

The Hoid player stutters over the entire video on a 4K sample I took on a S5, For something of that price it performs similarly to MX player which also stutters.

I wad slighyly dissapointed as well it doesn't natively support 4k.
Since this is the only uhd device i own atm, i can just convert 4k to 2k.
But i do understand why you would want it.

it just missing the codecs required... wth samsung... codec also dont want to put on such a nice tab... since it can play the audio and logcat says it missing codec...

I am having same query. I hope Samsung will provide codec to support 4k playback in next firmware update.

Mx player pro reverts to software mode for 4k video. Hopefully there will be a hardware codec soon.

Try Android Video Player.
Works for me with most 4k videos, although it still stutters a lot with some of them.
I'm uploading two 4k videos downloaded from youtube

Edit: 4k plays with software decoding, so I really don't understand why 'cool tool' tells me cpu is at 90-95% but @ 1000-1300mhz (not 1900!) and still video stutters..
shouldn't cpu be at maximum mhz when video decoding requires it?
