[Q]Why can't SGS play 720p videos (not recoded from sgs) when it can record 720 video

Why is that? I loaded a few 720p trailers on my phone to test them out but all I got was the audio. Tried sone market video players but they were laggy.
Any fix/soloution for this?

Using Doc's Froyo 2.2 JPO full package. Had no lag at all.

i have avatar 720p mkv and it plays well on the default video player without any lags or problems when i was in eclair and even now on froyo

Im using stock rom and it lags with market players and I only get audio with stock player. That's with the cars trailer 720p. Any fix for this without using a custom rom?

TBH it worked fine on my stick 2.1 when i got the phone from t-mobile using the stock video player so i cant see a reason why you have issues. Could always try a full factory hard reset and see if that improves it.

I'm pretty sure a hard reset isn't the answer. I mean just to get those videos playing, it cant be. There has to be a simple soloution.

Is it on the internal SD or on an external?

720p MKV and MP4 worked on mine off external sd on both 2.2 and 2.1.
Could try re encoding the video with something like Hamster which is freee

Mine are on the externel sd card. N wouldn't re encoding the video change the quality?

i can confirm there is no problem playing 720 straight off the web downloas in the phone for movies, tv shows, anime, etc.
using mplayer to watch the videos

Hey Guys, I tried Almost all the media/Video players present in the MARKET
but those are unable to play some MP4 files on custom roms(almost all roms).
Only stock rom can play them
but i don't like stock rom. So please help or share your idea if anyone have?

Flash Player 11

Which Videos i can watch with Flash Player 11? Which Websites
Sent from my X8 using xda premium

In my tests... none (the browser crashes )

i tried with many video player. but the only one stable and usable is youtube set on 240p

Plays ok and no browser crashing
I been watching all kinds of videos. It is a lil laggy with anything over 240p. But to fix that kill all apps before watching a video and clear your cache regularly. I got a version of it from a website based in mexico i think. i have tried several that people have tweaked on. This one plays alot better then any other one i found. Here it is if anyone wants to try it:

Flashing Movies and How?

I need to know the best way and what people use, I'm using the latest MobyPlayer plus UTorrent but for some reason after it downloads and I go to play it back it says your device player isn't capable? If anyone could walk me through this or give a good link that would be great also used MXPlayer

i haven't had any problems with nay movies/videos...
Using MX video player (the free version) & it seems to play almost anything i want.

I think maybe cuz I don't have 1.7gb available but are all movies that large
Sent on my IncS with ICECREAMSANDWICH/7.0/4.0.4 by XDA Premium App

Maybe the player is telling you that it can't use HW decoding for video???
Sometimes using MXvideoplayer is uses SW decode, but as long as i'm not watching a hd movies it's ok.
It's a problem when you try to watch a 720p movies without using HW decoding..
It plays laggy; but generally it's a question of avi's codec that aren't decoded by our cpu..

Download qqplayer and everything will be fine.

Flashing Movies and How? Am I the only one who doesn't know what a flashing movie is?
Surely you must know if you have enough drive space to copy a movie across.
I use MXplayer to play vids. Works flawlessly even when the phones got tTorrent running which is extremely taxing. I rarely use the phone to watch movies besides on extended bathroom visits. Usually stream them to WDlive player using Twonky mobile if I couldn't be bothered copying them over. (All free versions btw)
@itsbeertimenow I tried qqplayer and was out of sync on mkv's.

I'm still trying to figure out the "flashing movies" bit

Video streaming not functioning - CM10

As the title suggests, I'm unable to stream video, this all happened after upgrading from CM9 to CM10. I've tried different apps, YouTube, TED, Netflix, neither work.
I can watch regular videos just fine, including 720p.
Any ideas what's up?

Did you tried those streaming videos on any other phones as well.

Yes, the videos work fine on other devices...
I am able to watch clips stored on my phone, regular files, and I am able to watch clips on other devices (watched some 720p videos from my laptop with MX Player)
I am unable to stream video whether they are in the browser, the YouTube app; TED Talks app; Netflix app, or anything else.
What happens when I try is the thing loads, the duration of the clip is shown in the progress bar, but it refuses to play, just goes in an endless loop of looking like the buffering is finished.

try vplayer and see if it helps

I don't think you understand.
I don't have a problem with regular video clips (which is what vplayer does), i have a problem solely with streaming video.

Hi. First of all, did you fix permissions when you installed cm10? Was it a clean install? If so, try to stream your videos over WiFi, not over EDGE network. A few months ago I was unable to watch you tube videos on my PC and on my phone over WiFi (over 3G network it worked) and I called my ISP after that, in 2 days everything was just like before. YouTube worked again. So, it may be a problem with your ISP too (if using WiFi from home although is less probable).
Ultimately you can try dalvik/cache wipe and reinstall cm10 or try a different ROM, maybe it's gonna solve the problem.
I hope this helps.

Naw it wasn't a clean install (when going from CM9), I did the usual dalvik wipe but that was it. I was going to do a clean install once CM10 stable came out anyway, so I guess I'll take your advice and do a proper upgrade now...
The problem is persistent btw, wifi or 3g doesn't make a diff, but lets see what happens after the wipe.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

So I did a proper install: full wipe, installed cm10 stable, and flashed semaphore kernel 2.6.0.
After restoring my backup, everything worked. YouTube, TED, Netflix, regular video playback, all good.
Then today, no go, video playback works, but streaming video in either apps no longer works.
The only difference between today and before is that I tried using H/W+ decoder in MX Player, could that have broken it somehow?
Before posting I fixed permissions and rebooted, no change.
Ideas?
