Seems like some people managed to play 1080p on iPhone 4.
SGS has almost the same CPU with better GPU and option for overclock.
What is the reason that is preventing us from playing 1080p? Not good enough app or something else?
1080p on a 4" screen? no thank you.
We just seems to be needing a good codec to play 1080p. So it should just be a software limitation unless the GPU is capped at 720p!

I would never watch 1080p on 4'' screen (even though some people would)
I'm just curios about the hardware.
@Prankey,
I guess SGX 540 can play 1080p if SGX 535 can.
I'll make a wild guess here:
iOS has all the software needed for full hardware acceleration while Android don't.
How is this a development related question?
And I thought galaxy can play 1080 without problems (didnt try though, as its very stupid).
so iPhone display is 960 x 640 pixels?
1080P is 1920 x 1080 pixels
unless it can output HDMI, seems pretty pointless to me.
The screen resolution is 800x480 anyway so the extra resolution does not benefit you at all. It's just a minor convenience to avoid converting the video but you're wasting battery power to decode the video and a lot of space. 720p is enough of a battery and space waster.

1080p isn't even listed as a file which can be played. You can't even upload it via iTunes, so there is no official hardware acceleration built in for 1080p.

I guess it is a development question, because it may be related with codecs, drivers, etc.
But no, it can't. I have tried it, even though I'm not about to watch full HD on my SGS

We can use microUSB to HDMI and we have DLNA. So it would be useful to us. Anyway, as I've already said my interest is about hardware capabilities not watching full HD on my phone.

You still have to convert the video though for these devices still cause h.264 codec support for mobile devices don't support all of what the codec can do. It's also wasted bit rate as well. It's better to have a lower resolution video with a decent bit rate then it is to have a video with a massive resolution but not enough of a bit rate to smooth out artifacts. this resolution race for videos on mobile phones is a tad stupid.
Rock player plays 1080p for me.
The Video I tried was a bit choppy though but acceptable.
(I guess about 15-18fps). I only tried one Video wich I accidentally loaded on my device.
As far as I now Rock player does not use any GPU acceleration though pretty impressive what this little CPU is capable of.
Definatly plays full hd better then my atom netbook.

agree it's simply over kill
all the extra processing is wasted on a 4" screen
actually iphone4 is only 3.5" not even 4"
720p is more than enough on the 4"

I wasn't talking about hardware accelerated 1080p playback. I was talking about how everything in iOS is adapted to support as much of the hardware features as possible, while Android is not adapted to support the SGS hardware in any other way than Samsung just tossing in (semi)working drivers.

1/ there is no point, resolution-wise
2/ with iphone there is a VERY limited range of file formats you CAN actually play, so you will spend half your life converting to a format that apple can control. Most my 1080p movies are mkv format, a format that works on Galaxy S but not on iphone. All my SD movies are Divx and Xvid, again, not compatible with iphone.
Mark.
Well actually we can! Rockplayer can do it so please stop spamming this forum!
You apple fanboy

just ****ing stupid! 1080p on 800x480, wtf? even 720p is higher than the screen-resolution! also a movie in 1080p has ~10Gb which would almost fill my 16gb card. STUPID and completely SENSELESS!

well apparently the people with iphone4 are too rich and too <insert what you think here> to care about that.
they probably think they have super wireless and can stream a 1080p movie and watch it over the air

And why not? 802.11n is more than enough for that...
Anything that can be done on the iphone 4 can be done on the galaxy s, just needs the right software to be made.
The only difference between the iphone 4 and the GS is the software, the screen, and the galaxy s having one generation newer gpu
Anyway what's the point in this? sd cards have a 4gb filesize limit, 1080p would waste so much battery for no benefit over a 720p file
technical spec yes
real life usage, not so great
wireless N is what i use for my home teather, yes it "works" but load time is horrible, as well as the random cut offs, then waiting for the load time again.... it's a pain in the aussie
it's much more convenient to first copy the entire movie into the hard drive via wireless N, then watch it
but that defeats the entire purpose of streaming a movie
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

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!

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.

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

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.

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
(viewing directly from youtube you get only 1080p)

shouldn't cpu be at maximum mhz when video decoding requires it?
Hi
Please somebody confirm is Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 capable of playing 1080p 10 bit (mostly anime) videos?
(please also include info what player you have used, mode of playback, hardware, sowftware, version of a tablet etc)
I am really interested in buying this tablet and the screen is just gorgeous but I am also an anime fan and would like to watch my anime in the highest possible quality on it.
Thanks

Bump!
I'm considering getting one of the Tabs to avoid carrying my -huge- laptop to watch stuff in other rooms. Also, maybe there's a difference between exynos vs snapdragon regarding video playback capability. Any input appreciated!
And just to confirm... from what I've been reading, T700=Exynos and T705=Snapdragon? there's no T705-Exynos based?

I have yet to see the first Snapdragon for the Tab S series, all of them have been Exynos, i believe that they might use Snapdragon in the NA models to come around november to Verizon and T-Mobile but right now, the LTE and WiFi versions T700-705-800 and 805 are using Exynos.
Video playback has been smooth on my T705 (lossless 1080 flac).

So T700 is Exynos-wifi, and T705 Exynos-LTE.... if they finally roll out Snapdragon based TABs, there should be a new model number, right?
I tried a Hi10P video on a Snapdragon600 based S4 mobile and playback was very choppy -using BSPlayer-, do you know if there's 10bit HW decoding support on the Exynos running the new TABs?

What player were you using? SW or HW decoding? Prolly in SW decoding mode any of these won't be able to produce smooth playback and from what a quick reading on the specs and a couple of sites, the Mali GPU on the Exynos SoC would not support 10bit video decoding... so if I'm not wrong, there goes my hope...

There's no GPU, PC or mobile, that supports hi10p decoding. That said, I have a hard time believing that the Tab S wouldn't be able to play 1080p hi10p videos smoothly as my old Nexus 10 with a far slower CPU almost pulls that off and my Z1c with a Snapdragon 800 plays them smoothly (granted, it's a much lower resolution screen but still) with MX Player.
I've put a test video in the link below that people can try to see if it plays smoothly. MX Player is recommended.
http://www.fileswap.com/dl/4GAia6Pop/
Lol full metal alchemist... love the anime... it play fine on my tab s 8.4 with bsplayer and its extra 7arm codec.
Mxplayer was ok last time but now since they lose some codec due to licensing issue some of the high quality video just play choppy since its use sw mode only.
Btw the tab s also lacking some codec. Dont know why samsung left out some of the codec although the device are capable.

HW wasnt supported. so it was SW.
It's working just fine on my tab 10.5 exynos processor. However i had to turn off all the codec codes and run on pure hardware acceleration for it to work. Goes to show the exynos processor can play videos just fine without any hardware codec or software aid.

There's no GPU, PC or mobile, that supports hi10p decoding. That said, I have a hard time believing that the Tab S wouldn't be able to play 1080p hi10p videos smoothly as my old Nexus 10 with a far slower CPU almost pulls that off and my Z1c with a Snapdragon 800 plays them smoothly (granted, it's a much lower resolution screen but still) with MX Player.
I've put a test video in the link below that people can try to see if it plays smoothly. MX Player is recommended.

I wouldn't know about the Mali GPU capabilities, but I also thought a Snapdragon800 should be able to playback Hi10p, hence I was interested on getting the 'supposed' Snapdragon version of the Tab S 8.4.
The new Mali -T764- though, seems to support 10bit decoding and H265/HEVC, so I was kinda hoping the T628 Mali would do also 10bit decoding...

I hadn't read you... so you got that Hi10p sample that CazeW posted playing back smoothly? which player did you use?
That clip played fine on my 10.5 thru BS Player but SW mode only. All my 1080p rips play in HW mode so not sure... This is still a great device for multimedia.
I use a media player that is banned by ios and android called xbmc or soon to be renamed to kodi. The best media player ever!
It runs great on either software or hardware accelerometer alone.

Where do you guys get these 10bit Anime series from. I normally stream them from Anime.fullfights so quality is never really HD (it says 720p but most likely a bit compressed)

General torrent sites or dedicated anime trackers.
BTW i just bought a Tab s8.4 today, and tried the sample straight away using vlc, smooth playback, will try with the video I could not play with an galaxy s4, which is higher bitrate, if it plays back I would be officially in love with the thing.
No luck, tried a high bitrate video (with embedded subtitles), the same I used on the Galaxy S4, and it plays better but is still unwatchable Both with VLC and KmPlayer. I will install xbmc and BSPlayer tonight but I fear the results will be the same :/

Hi eousphoros, last night I tried with MX Player, HW+ mode did not work, but software&multi core mode seemed to play it back about fine, not absolutely perfect, but watchable, as soon as I flash a custom kernel a play with settings a bit I'm sure it will improve the missing -tiny- bit. Thanks for the tip. Will try also BS-Player&XBMC.
I've been pondering if I should get a Note 3 or Note 4. Playing with the Note 3 at the store I realized the youtube app doesn't support 1080p and I´m assuming Note 4 is the same and no way in heck for 4K(downscaled to QHD) for the Note 4, is that about correct? Is it the same if I go to youtube in the anrdoid browser and not in the youtube app? If so there is pretty much much no easy way to watch full quality new trailers without some hacked youtube apps, correct?
LG G3 seems to be the only one where youtube supports beyond 720
The YouTube app does support 1080p and above regardless of what phone you are using. You just need to select a video that is uploaded in the resolution you want

You won't be getting a lot of 4k streaming content anytime soon. Plus, the amount of space it would take up on your phone would be crazy. You will get the clarity when using apps, some games, etc.

If I´m just streaming it and not storing it, it shouldn't take a lot of space should it. YouTube has quite a few 4K vidoes. But it's more not even being able to see any 1080p videos and trailers that I find absurd.

You can select res in YouTube.
BTW, watching HD1080P stuff on the Note 4 still looks sharp, just watched a bunch of vids I took with my S3 and S4.
Checked a bunch of videos on the note 3 on the YouTube app, none go above 720. Checked them on my laptop and had options of 1080p.
The old YouTube app supported 1080 and 1440(I'm using it just now) however it appears to have been removed in the newer versions of the app. You can uninstall the Youtube updates in the applications page and then install the old app version which supports 1440 (it's on the XDA forums somewhere,I think on the G3 forum). I'm sure Google will sort it out soon as they have the QHD Nexus 6 coming out.
I'm using the latest version am I have 1080p option on both my note 4 and note pro12.2.

1080p is available in the latest version of YouTube on GS4.
Very odd. Note 3 exynos international is the version.
Can someone maybe please post a link to a YouTube video that you can get in 1080p and I will can see what the phone does?
Go to anything by mkbhd

Some of the latest versions have a lot of the resolutions (including all above 720p) disabled for some strange reason!
You can uninstall and reinstall an old version of the apk if you want to get them back.
