[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

[APP]MoboPlayer - best video player

Decent player although its surely another galaxy s video player ripped and feature packed. That said Rockplayer being the other galaxy s rip will likely copy all features found here.

Unfortunately, it doesn't see the video taken by my Nexus S....

It does you have to select the camera folder on SD card and will search for media files in that directory

Thanks. Best player!

Works the same as Rock Player for me. RockPlayer decodes 720p (mkv) fine but theres no audio. Regular .avis have sound
Definitely nice video player though, I'll keep it

As usual, can't play anime mkv videos without doing slow-mo. I think vlc is the only third party app that can compete with the galaxy player.

Can someone help me, I have installed moboplayer on my Nexus S and I am have a few questions.
1. When I connect my Nexus S to my computer what folder/directory should I be putting my video files in?
2. When I start moboplayer on my Nexus S, I am also confused about which folders I should choose. Also, when I start moboplayer I get "there's no SD card, make sure it is usable".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Highly recommend using dice player for best HD playback becasue it uses hardware acceleration unlike mobo, rockplayer..ect
But to your question
you manually select what folder you want it to scan i made a folder called Movies..also dont use the one in OP its now available on the market

You were really vague in answering my question though. I am not new to computers but I am new to this. Do I have to modify (root) my Nexus for this to work?
For instance I connect my Nexus S to my laptop and can get the "removable disk (H" option in my computer. Can I make any folder within there and call it "movies"?
OR is there a specific sub folder I need to be in?
Thanks for your help.

The folders as seen in moboplayer don't mirror what I am seeing on my computer. That's is why I am confused.

hey
i downloaded rock player but when i play the movie using rock player the volume of the movie being played is pretty less... is there any player which is better than the rock player and which has high volume?

MX Video Player is by far the best video player on Android IMO.
It was the only player that could play 720p MKV with subtitles without any kind of lag, problems with subtitles or sound. You can also change between audio-tracks.
It also got a the prettiest interface.

Galaxy Tab P1000 and 540p MKV problems

Hi guys. I have Galaxy Tab P1000 and I love it, because it has 7 inch display (yeah, 1024x600, that sucks, I agree). I tried to play NBA game 540p MKV rip and I had issue - sound was far behind video. I thought, that rip is ****, but no. In computer and LG Optimus 4X HD everything worked flawlessly. I tried MX Player, internal Video player - same **** (Android 2.3). Throw P1000 away and just buy Nexus 7?

Try BS player?

or DicePlayer as it supports hardware playback

Hi,
When using the MX player, you have to select HW+ decode.
In my tab, i can watch 720 MKVs without problems. 1080 is too much.
Also, it is a big difference if you use the internal memory vs the micro SD card. Micro SD card performance depends on the class of the card.
I hope it helps.

Addition to MX player case - some time you need to use HW or HW+ decoder for video, but keep using SW decoder for audio (icon audio on the right, unchecked the option).

hi all on xda, ive got a long trip soon and want to put some of my tv series from my pc on the external SD card of my phone to watch on the coach,my trouble is i got one on there which plays fine(mxplayer and vlc) but anymore i try and put on i get cant play video,ive converted to different formats and ones recommended for cm10 and samsung galaxy s but keep getting same error,im using a 32gig SD card,could anyone please help before i get bored stupid on my 9 hour coach trip thanks

Hi mate,
Download freemake video converter to your pc and convert them! It can convert just about anything and then simply copy over to your sd card always works for me Although mx player can play almost anything so that should just play them.....what are you format are u converting from/to?

Hiya,I get can't play video,the strange thing is I have 3 other videos I put on ages ago one is an avi,the other two are mp4 and they play fine. I've tried to replicate there format by reencoding using same settings such as frame rate bitrate ect but still no joy. I'm using imtoo ultimate to encode
Sent from GT-19000 CM 10.1. stable

Right. CM10.1 (in fact all ICS/JB builds) don't support .avis by default (not entirely sure why). Have you tried alternative video apps (and codecs if you need them)? When I used JB roms using other apps played my .avis fine...

I've used the default video player and mxplayer and vlc. What confuses me more is like I said I do have some videos on my phone already which play in all 3,Avi's and mp4. Can u recommend any good encoders at the moment I use I too video ultimate. Having tried any other but there so many. Thanks for your help by the way.

Easy, using 3rd party app, like MX Player
or you can try to clear Album cache and Movie cache and see if it working for you
My last suggestion, it's due bad scanning media, try to clear data Media storage and reboot
Also, I need to know, what the extension of video you played
