Does nexus one can playback 720p High profile videos?

LG's Optimus Q(LU-2300, only for south korea) has same snapdragon 1st gen 1ghz cpu. But it can play h.264 high profile 4.1
Both devices are using snapdragon.
It is possible that play high 4.1 videos on nexus one?

LG probably has licensed codecs and a modified kernel to take advantage of said proprietary codecs. I did a quick check online and couldn't find any mention of h.264 playback. The only mention of 720p is for the camera.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"There is built in hardware decoding for H.263, H.264 and MPEG-4 video"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_One
It can also be seen in device specs.
So yes, most chances that the will be some video player that will play h.264.
hi,i used modaco's desire port for nexus one rom,and it surprised me with playing 720p in realtime,and also great camcroding on720p,i tried to play some youtube's 720p videos(downloaded FLV file from youtube)and it played it really really great,smooth,realtime!

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.

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.

[Q] Does the Z1 support H265 / HEVC

Hi,
I was pretty sure the Snapdragon 800 has support for HEVC/H265 decoding.
Now I googled a little and some articles said yes and some said no.
Playing back a HEVC Video with MX also used the software decoder, so does it really not support it?
Regards

Do you have stock kernel and stock ROM? Have you try in mx player "h/w", "h/w+" and "s/w" decode for video and audio too?

Yes, you are right. I thought I've tested it long time ago but maybe I'm wrong. Now I was testing 60 fps video and they don't play well on my phone.
I think the Snapdragon S4 Pro is a bit old and can't deal with that. The T2 ultra has a "worse" processor but more modern:
Sony Xperia Z vs Sony Xperia T2 Ultra
maybe this is the reason but I really don't know so if someone knows the real reason he is welcome.
I've tested the same videos in an Android stick and it plays them better but not perfect. The processor isn't very good but more modern than the SXZ one.
I'm sorry because I can't help you much more.
whts ur android version? cuz i think that the newer update can play better (4.4.4)

I think bcoz the t2 ultra has preloaded decoder to play such type /format videos... And our Z is old so it don't have preloaded decoder of such type...
Don't tension its just a software issue... That's why video player apps are there which provides decoder to play any type of videos if the hardware ia capable of..
