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

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)

Hi,
I'm going on hollydays tomorrow but I would like to see "Touch" episodes while I'm away...
I'm playing the episodes with mobo player, mxplayer or qqplayer but none of them plays smoothly as it should... Dunno ifour ace can do it, but I would like to try.
I'm running on 799mhz, apocalypse with non ovc firekernel.
Cheers
This player plays verrry smooth as long as it is not more that 720p

Tryed it and it plays the same way the others I mentioned...
Damn, I really would like to see this but I guess its because of the video quality.. I can only find hdtv quality, that's why
Ahh yes it's cuz the quality is too good for the ace processor....
---------- Post added at 10:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------
Convert them to a lower quality with some software...
U know any software to do that?
Video editing software would work best like sony vegas pro 10 or after efects cs6 but cost money so try Googling hdpi to sd video converter
Also there are apps that convert videos for ace spesifiekly Google
If you are using MX player,select sw(software decoding) for files other than mp4.
SOLVED:
Downloaded xilisoft hd video converter and converted to a lower quality (still great quality), mx player is running it now!
Thank you both
I have galaxy S3 and it can only handle 10-bit video @ 480p
However, 720p 10-bit videos runs slow and laggy.
I wonder if Xperia Z can handle it without any slowdowns. Can some here test it ?

I should be able to answer your question in one hour. Stay tuned!
EDIT:
Unfortunately, when I tried to playback 720p 10bit video standard video player refused to play it and mxplayer opened it in software mode, refusing to use the H/W and H/W+ modes. In software mode I'd say it is watchable but is not perfectly smooth.
played a 10bit mkv through standard player, no lagg, smooth, while this was lagging using stock rom.. im now on tuddzrom , not sure if that fixed it lol but smooth nonetheless
Ok thanks guys
Galaxy S4 is supposed to have faster CPU than Xperia Z , so hope it will play it 10-bit 720p video smoothly.
5.1 channel mkv?
Guys,
On my Note II i can play 1080p mkv no problem, but the DDS (dolby digital 5.1) audio will not play.
I am switching to Z on Monday and am wondering if the 5.1 audio plays on mkv formats as well. Could u check that?
THanks!
1080p FLAC works flawless depending on the bitrate
720p no problems at all
Problem comes with 10bit. I think we all know that we want to watch our anime along the way. Most episodes are Hi10p.
I am not sure but how different is the Nexus 7 CPU against the Xperia Z? I can use the HW and HW+ decoder for 10bit episodes and they run smooth. But somehow the XZ refuses to use the HW/HW+ decoder. Might be, cause it's still new? No real HW support from MXPlayer yet?
I have no idea tbh.
Use MX Player's latest Test Build from here : https://sites.google.com/site/mxvpen/translation/test-build
It's a huge improvement.
Now my XZ (on 4.2.2 official ROM) can play 720p 10 bit anime very well

I can confirm this, for example I tested

and everything except the ass styled karaoke worked flawless. Huge improvement in my opinion.

Very nice to hear.
I just tested some Blu-Ray/Hi10p/FLAC files, only 720p were playing fine. 1080p is still no go, but I guess that's fine

I guess 10 bit 1080p is asking too much :laugh:
If we talk about Xperia Z hardware capabilities to decode 10-bit encoded video, the answer is no, it will never allow it. Currently there isn't any smartphone being able to decode 10-bit enconding.
On the other side, software decoding is based on how well the algorithm is developed rather than the device itself. It's pure CPU processing power + how optimized in the algorithm so that might change with time. And from what I've seen reading this post MX video player is working on it.

I don't care if it's only software decoding. Even on PC, 10 bit video can't be played with hardware acceleration, right? (CMIIW) ^_^
Yes templa, from YouTube and torrents~

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.

Okay, I take it back. There are still some frame drops, mainly when panning, but in general it's pretty good.

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...
720p works for me..... thanks...

You should give us link to try.
I found something on YouTube and if you meant on something like this YOUTUBE LINK then YES it can and it's very smooth.
If you have link for short movie to download, send me PM and I will try for you.

Stock Player can't
What he is asking for is if the Z1 can play Hi10p encoding. This is the latest encoding using 10bits instead of the normal 8bits (you can google for the rest of the features). You can go to doki.co or bakabt.me (BBT usually has larger files since it's full series, but if you're afraid of getting called the P word, everything in BBT is unlicensed in the states) and get one of the episodes there. The episode name will have 10bit or Hi10P or H10P in the name.
I don't watch movies on my device, but I have a few downloaded and waiting to be transferred off. I tried and the stock player and ES media player can't play these videos. I'm not sure if there are any 10bit player in the play store either.
I'm sure Z1 can handle that video but the question is do we have software and codex for that.
I really don't know that - so sorry - can't help here.
Sent from my Z1
Also watch a crapton of anime, Z1 plays 720p Hi10p videos fine using MX Player.
Struggles with 1080p Hi10p, but the file I tested had a very high bitrate and it was streamed from my PC.
Only works with software mode though, so battery takes a bit of a hit.
