I have the 8.4" and have noticed that some of my videos (.mov 1080p movie trailers) seem to be a tad bit laggy, especially when they first start. Has anyone noticed the same? I have downloaded a custom codec but it doesn't seem to make any difference. I have also tried both hardware and software playback.
yes, same here, I bought MX player Pro in hope that it will dissapear but unfortunately there is very very noticeable lag. Stock video player plays same video with no problems...
I've had no problems with it on my end. Crosses fingers ✌

Not sure what is up with your mx player, but check out Dice Player and also check THIS link on how to add the DTS capabilities.
I used to be a mx player user, even bought pro, but since using dice, I haven't looked back once. It does all mx does, plus you can pop the player out and multitask with ease, I even use it on my note 3!
I'll check it out.
My videos seem to be smoother now when using software decoding for the video and hardware for the audio, but I know there is still something weird going on because the menus lag so much when you're scrolling up and down.
Yeah. That's weird. Mines still working flawlessly.

This is a great place!
I have been reading all the threads that might have anything to do with video playback.
I've installed those 3D drivers and graphics were improved on that hologram thing and "light 3d"
Still, video playback is choppy and im grinding my teeth seeing it!
I have converted videos in all kinds of formats in all kids of FPS and KBPS and kept VGA resolution and still no use.
Have i missed something?
thanks!!
what media player are you using dude? ive been using TCMP for the longest time and i have no problems on playing my videos/movies...
i tried using the built in windows media player, coreplayer, and i have used tcpmp once but the bottom taskbar was black so i didnt know what problem that program had.
anyways, the tcpmp didnt play smooth. maybe i had a bad version?
Have you tried viewing some other content other than your own converted files? try using the attached sample avi with all 3 players and see how that goes.
ive tried the videos that came with the phone.
windows media player handles videos much better than coreplayer but still no smooth video.
this is weird, on other ppc's that ive had (a few) coreplayer/tcpmp played videos much better than wmp.
over here its the exact opposite.
how come?
what ROM are you using?
original ROM that came with the diamond.
in my case its 2.o3
israel orange
help? anyone?
I don't know anyone here who is on the same ROM. you could try upgrading the ROM??
what ROM should i use?
can i extract the hebrew that comes with the ROM currently on my diamond?
i kinda need it
well of course that the built in WMP will play the video smoother than the core player. It`s because only WMP can use the hardware accelerator in the phone.
still the core player don`t have the proper drivers to access to the GPU.
ya it plays smoother, but still not smooth.
and theres all this tearing.

make sure you use qtv
With TCPMP set Video to GDI.
i installed tcpmp and when i ran it it came up with a message "crashed"
and it won't run.
i used Qtv with the coreplayer and it was still slugish
Be sure you use the version on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519543&highlight=TCPMP
It works great on my Diamond.
Ive installed a tcpmp from another thread from this forum.
It works and plays videos but its still slugish.
Is there a patch or a fix i was supposed to install?
Smooth video playback
Hi all,
I was having problems with jerky video playback.
I did some searching and found this link-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
It works a treat really smooth and in 640 480
WELL DONE
I saw this too...
It doesn't play smooth on my device.
still, this is the program i use to convert video if i wanna play something on my diamond
even tho it stinks (the diamond not the program!)
Hi idandavid,
PM me your email and I will send you a mov video of my Diamond playing a smooth video.
Or send me a video, I will conver it and try playing it on my Diamond. I can then send you the converted file to compare on your Diamond.
Hope this helps

I'm very disappointed with video playback on the N1. I thought it would handle video well, i mean this thing has 1ghz of processor after all.
Video player I've tried so far are arcMedia, mplayer, rockplayer, nemoplayer and of course the build in one. All of these does very bad job. They either don't have the codec to handle videos, playback but with grayish overlay, only sound and if the video is small, i can see pixel on the edges. Non of them can smooth smaller video.
My last 5-6 phones were all wm and with coreplayer installed wm can handle these vga or wvga video as if they were qvga. Plus, coreplayer can smooth out smaller video.
I really love the ui on N1 but if the video playback is this bad i may have to go HD2. So help me, I'm willing to try anyway anyway. thanks.
Oh I've googled for ways already with no luck and i know coreplayer is coming to android. I don't i want to wait. thanks again
Sorry for the long post. I've also kill every app and please don't tell me to convert all those video.
Interesting. I've used some of the apps you mentioned, and have always been happy with the playback quality...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Always great to see fast fast replies. what are your file type? what resolution? Mine usually are mkv with 500 to 800p. any help? anybody?
I use VPlayer beta for playback + Handbrake for encoding (using stock iphone/ipad preset) and I get mostly good results. What bothers me is sometimes the phone will stutter and not play back but other times it plays the same video fine. I have mostly long concert videos (1-2 hrs created from a ts_video) and if it stutters and stalls I'll pause it for a minute then when I hit play the audio goes fine and the video will be in FF for 15 sec or so then sync up again. Sync is not great overall but I'm not going to worry about it.
VPlayer beta works for me .... could you be running too many widgets or not killing enough programs in the background?
Come one people could you not see the tears next to my question? How about paid app then? Is there any good one?
I was using Rock Player until I read about VPlayer Beta over here and installed it. Personally, I felt that VPlayer Beta is more feature rich and configurable then the Rock Player
Ah nice guys thanks so much. I would have never found this vplayer if i hadn't post this Q here. Although i hope coreplayer will be here soon.Anyway thanks again.
if you're trying to get a decent picture from a smaller sized video, it's going to suck. i usually rip dvd's with mencoder or handbrake, transcode to mp4 @ 800x480 (or whatever) and all the dvd's play back beautifully. sound is great (with passive cancelling earbuds) and the isn't a shimmy even when a phone call/sms/gmail interrupts with a notification sound.
maybe you have something heavy running in the bg ? sync messed ? dunno
VLC for Android coming soon

BACKGROUND STORY NO ONE ASKED FOR FIRST:
I was using MX Video Player for awhile, but was kind of annoyed at how it would drop a frame every now and then with some of my video files (even using the Motorola sanctioned x264 encoding options of no CABAC, no B-Frames, no weighted-P or 8x8 DCT) and wanted to look for a new video player.
I was turned onto both Dice Player and BS Player. Both of these players seemed to play back video much better than MX Video Player, with no stutter or frame drop in my 720p files, so I was mostly happy. However, both of them had an issue I didn't like. Dice Player's software was only available in Trial form since their checkout account was suspended. BS Player wouldn't seek in some of my MKV files.
I scrapped Dice Player as there was no workaround for the BIG ASS CLICK HERE TO BUY BANNER AT THE TOP OF THE SCREEN at the moment, but I started to investigate why BS Player wouldn't seek in some of my movies yet seek in others. (Dice Player seeked no problem, same for MX Video Player.)
My investigation concluded with BS Player having some sort of seeking problem with any movie file that was over 2GB. (That's 2,147,483,648 or 2,048MB.)
Other than that and what some say an interface that needs to be worked on, I think it's a great program. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone who uses this player or is looking for a good movie player the quirk I found with it...
Most of my encodes with the proper baseline profile at CQ 22/AAC 160 are usually under 2GB, but I s'pose for the 3 movies I have that have issues, I'll try for CQ 23/AAC 128 and see if it is under 2GB and acceptable quality.
Hope this helps someone!!
Yea man - I agree. I was having issues w/ my MKV files - found Dice player and it worked fine - went to buy it but nogo. Found BS Player - works great as well.
Interface is a bit clunky - but I can live w/ that!

I'm stock.
New version of this app in the Market today. Fixes my quirk plus adds ICS support. What what!
I must issue a warning... don't download the latest update to this software. Although it fixes seeking in files over 2GB, it breaks hardware acceleration so videos now play back in slow motions.
Very disappointed.
EDIT: Attached the old version as well as the old plugin for those who upgraded and didn't have a backup of it!! Old version works nicely minus the >2GB seek bug.
Will give it a try thanks.
Luckily I bought the Dice player before the market went down. One thing that is not mentioned a lot about it though.
I work in Africa every other month, no wi-fi. So after two weeks Dice player stops working as it cannot call home. This annoys me.
Hey all.As the title says,i have been experiencing video playback problems.When I play any video it lags a lot.
I have tried other video players as well like mxplayer but the problem also occurs.I was using stock. 205 by dipesh and today i flashed existenz ultra 4.0 but the problem still persists.
Thanks.
Local video on the phone, or remote video online?
I find mxplayer with custom codec playes everything I try, including 1080p60 files.
Both.Even in facebook app,video lags a lot

Try Dice Player from play store, it comes with all codecs and will stream good video either offline or online really awesome player.
RAM related?
How much free RAM do you usually have when doing nothing with your phone?
Problem is fixed itself.I don't know how but it is fixed.
Anyone facing video playback problem? If I try to play a 720p or higher resolution video, the playback is very choppy as though frame rate has dropped. The play speed also jumps by 2 seconds. This is in VLC player. If I play from the phone original player, same problem but without audio.
I have tried only avi format since that's what I get from torrent.
Am I supposed to do something for a smooth playback or should I dump this beautiful phone?
I had problems woth a LITTLE choppy videos in FHD only. How choppy are those u mention? Unbearable choppy or noticeably choppy? Also, is ur battery mode set on performance (which I think is on default) and are you on the latest software?
Have you tried MX player? I use it and don't have issues with 1080p videos. You can choose how MX decodes the video, HW, HW+, or software. VLC still isn't the greatest on Android.

Yes it is noticeably choppy. And battery has been set to performance. Latest software too. Audio of the video is ac3, i think.

Yes, I did try MX player but it seems to be worse there. The audio is not even supported. At least it did in VLC. AUDiO: 192 CBR AC3 2.0. Can it play xvid and avi well? I mean the phone.
Did you try software decoding?
