When I play mp4 videos, I see strange artifacts appearing randomly on the screen using WMP or Media panel. They are horizontal and they look like short white dashes. It happens when I watch youtube videos too and it tends to appears more on higher resolution videos.
I really hope someone can shed some light on the issue. Thank you all just for any comments because this is really bugging me and seems to suggest faulty hardware.
Got this test video from somewhere.

No one else encountered this problem?
This device just doesn't handle video very well at all, at least thats my experience. Especially video with higher bitrates. And yes I sometimes see artifacts, mostly "residue" of clips I've played just before like stuck frames at the borders of the video.
I have the edge problems too
But the artifacts/streaks of tiny short lines are appearing randomly in the screen area, not the edges. I am worried about having faulty hardware. I don't know how pda hardware function, but I have several desktop GPUs dying on me before.
Please guys, I really need more insight into this matter because if it is a hardware problem, I will be going down to the service centre soon.
Please just play a mp4 video and report your observations. I know it means nothing but I will be very grateful.
Have you tried running the vids through CorePlayer?
Have you ensured that the files aren't too big (res or framerate)?
Instead of posting vague information like "do you get artifacts" how about some real info about the files you are using.

I specified I get the problems with mp4 files on WMP and Media Xperiance Panel. The files are DVDs encoded with the tool from "[APP][REF]Full HD (800x480) video playback with acceleration" with the recommended settings(which I believe wouldn't be too high). Also, they lag horrendously with CorePlayer so I used WMP or MXP where they played smoothly EXCEPT with white - - - (dashes) appearing consistently but randomly. It occurs on all the videos I encoded this way when played on MXP or WMP.
In case you want some more details, one of the files played have the following details viewed with CorePlayer's Media Properties menu,
Video: AVC aka H.264
Video Size: 640 x 480
Frame Rate: 29.970
File Size: 20370KB
I thought I would not need to post much details because I believed people here would have at least tried playing videos close to the native resolution of X1's screen.
It seems the problem is only with my device and no one else here is having any problem I am having so I will head down to the service centre.

anybody? no one willing to help test?
I find no problems -am on stock UK Vodafone X1i and encode DVD's onto the SD card regularly (watch on train commute)
No problems with original FW and none since updating to RA2 via SEUS
Have just tried your posted "test" mp4 (crysiswarhead?) and definitely no white --- artefacts at all
It plays OK but is a bit laggy (only just noticeable)
The res is 800x480 which may have something to do with it (bit too high) ... I have been using 480x272 which works great and looks awsome (I use a commercial DVDripper -Aimersoft)
Good luck at the service centre!!!
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunate for me though, I always hate service centres. =(
More input please. =(
Same problem here.
Don't think it's a hardware thingy.. it's just not the ideal encoding for this little machine
I'm already happy I can play a normal mp4 / xvid / 'specially' encoded file on it.
Unless it's all over your image I do not think there is any succes in returning the phone.
they'll tell you it's not the 100% right codec format for the phone and will kick you out.
at least.. that's my thinking
Thanks mate for the response. I love this device and can live with this flaw, but I don't like the idea of having a defective hardware on the *inside*.
I can live with the problems I'm already having, scratch keyboard, wobbly slider, black paint dropping off but the fact that my x1 is havinga defective processing chip inside scares me so much.
Heading down to the service centre now...
There are videos that I encoded that play SMOOTHLY but will white flickers popping out all over. The service centre I know have a demo set, I will try playing videos on thatt and compare and hopefully convince those guys.

Hi,
Got my Xperia X1 the other day, I have got Coreplayer Mobile as well as the WMP on the phone. I have copied the videos I took with my Nokia N95 to the memory card Ive got in the Xperia.
However when it comes to playing them WMP will play them but it stutters alot with the sound being ahead of the video. In coreplayer there is no video only sound.
Any of you guys got any suggestions to get the video playing smoothly. The videos are .mp4.
Thanks
Try to set in Videosettings QTv Display, here I get a picture and it works ok, not the promissed 30 fps but arount 20 fps with a HDTV Movie.

Then I don't have any more ideas. Perhaps it'll help trying TCMP instead of Coreplayer?!
Found this on Coreplayers website:
CE/Windows Mobile/PocketPC/Smartphone

Is anyone running Coreplayer? Is there anything better?
I've tried to find a resolution/bitrate which gives me smooth video without stuttering and dropouts. I've tested on CorePlayer with DivX and native mp4 codecs.
With a resolution of 400x240, 25fps, 1100kBit/s I get a picture without dropouts and a benchmark around 105%.
If I go higher in resolution I start getting dropouts.
I've set the CorePlayer to Microdrive mode and doubled the size of the buffer to increase the speed when reading from the memory card.
I've tried to copy the clip to the phone memory, but with the above settings I see no difference.
My conclusion is that if you want a smooth picture, don't go above the mentioned resolution. It won't give you that crisp picture, but I get more annoyed when the film is stuttering than getting a HD resolution on a 3" display.
I have no problem seeing mp4 on the CorePlayer though. But if I uncheck the "TyTN II driver mode" in QTv Display settings, I get only sound, no picture, despite the MSM7200 chipset . Don't know if the Nokia's format differs from the one I have used (Cucusoft Ultimate DVD).
Is there anyone else who manages getting a higher picture quality without any dropped frames?
Got this from the Coreplayer forums:
'We are on the verge of the v1.3 bug fix release that addresses many of the current issues including those diamond users running WM 6.1...... however it does not address the QTV issues since there is nothing we can control there other then to express our dismay to both HTC and Qualcomm for not opening up the GPU.
Hey... we've been here before.... lets hope for a more open solution soon enough.'
I wonder what SE's position is on this? Apparently it's meant to have a decent GPU but what's the use if we can't use it? I know one or two people here have contacts with SE - anybody wish to find out?
Praying for hardware supported video playback...
but they said that X1 uses ATI GPU not Qualcomm!
Another lies from SE?
Hey guys, i know this is abit off topic, but has any of you guys had the problem were you install core player, then play a video, and then you exit and go back into it and you the the message "cannot validate the serial number/user ID"? i have uninstalled and reinstalled heaps of times, tried different serial numbers, but it happens all the time use it once, and then the message comes up when you go back into it.

Says who, I haven't seen any info about it, any links please.
Of course the qualcomm chip has indeed 3D hardware acceleration but I don't know if it is ATI.
unbelieveable how unprofessional are they! 1st the RAM debate, and now this; not to mention that bad launching and availability.
It is rather disappointing. Even the fish panel is hardly super smooth, leading me to wonder if even that uses the GPU acceleration.
I really do hope SE allow and encourage developers to tap the GPU of the X1 otherwise its little better than all the other WM phones.
I have hope that someone with a reputation like SE will see the sense supporting the developers. The "write something for the panel" is not good enough. The radio is a panel and as the panel is like the home screen, anything on it is turned off when I navigate away from it including the radio.
I really do hope they do not turn out to be as bad as networks like T-Mobile which can't be bothered to support HTC rebranded phones even if its got their name stuck on them.
after using it for 3 days it is now clear that the panels just use low res screenshots and no live data. They dont even update them, i live in germany and when accessing panels the screenshot says New York etc until it finally updates.
So for the panels just being low res screenshots (that must be only some KBs per panel) the performance is horrible and laggy. Cant believe they use any form of hardware acceleration for that either.

If the video is encoded in H.264 it's going to be lagging full on. Half of the frame will get dropped. Playing 720x400 24FPS at 1Mbps encoded with XviD on the other hand is smooth and not a single frame is dropped. I've tested this with TP.
Does anyone know how to change the default streaming video player to Coreplayer?
It's very annoying when browsing and the Streaming Player kicks in rather than Coreplayer. I've associated 3gp, mpeg4, etc. with CP but doesn't seem to make any difference.
I've been using the TD2 for almost a week now. Really really happy with it,but I haven't tested any videos yet,though it was one of my major priorities behind buying this phone. Actually I am bit concerned after some reviews of the phone by some websites,they stated the Video playback is not up to the mark(Like-Skipped frames,Sound cracking etc.). If this is true then the large 3.2' screen will make no sense and I would be very SAD. So please vote and input your comments.
BTW-By Video I mean AVI files(either .xvid or .divx encoded) for PC playback(VGA or above quality),please don't say anything about .mp4,3gp and Conversion of videos. Maybe CorePlayer is the option,I don't have it as it's not free.
Thanks in advance.
IME the device on its own barely plays any video formats and doesn't even play them so well. I bought CorePlayer and it plays most things and quite well too. Sometimes you just have to pay for stuff. Shame the UI is a bit ropey though.
convert the video first to smaller resolution..it will be better..and yes coreplayer is my favourite player too..
Without saying anything about certain formats we've been asked not to mention , I have converted some films (they had to be converted, they were DVDs to start with!) and have got to a place where I'm happy, extremely, very slight lip-sync issue, but watchable, and on the 3.2 screen they look great, no issues with Video, just need to get the Audio-Video sync sorted.
BTW-Haven't used an existing files, converted films specifically for TD2 (the ones converted for my XDA Orbit were a bit on the small size due to the screen size.
PS Only use HTC Album to view, WMP doesn't seem to want to play anything I give to it.
I have excellent quality with PocketDivxEncoder to make my movie smaller.
On my TD2/Topaz i use CorePlayer because it's WideScreen.
TCPMP won't run on my phone and WMP doesn't have the codecs.
Ok,so I got one thing-A conversion is a must for higher qualities. But I will not see high qualities/resolution on my TD2,I'll rather choose my 22" HD Dell monitor for that,but I thought I atleast can watch the DVD rips(the popular xvid encoded <=700mb)on my TD2 by Core player or else when I am on the go..haven't had a clear idea about it..anyways thnx for voting.

I'm guessing you are looking for a bit more clear answer, so I will try to give you one. The answer is - YES, you can easily watch DVD rips WITHOUT any conversion, on the go, by Coreplayer of course To me personally, any conversion at all is a misunderstanding. Sure, a phone isnt a PC, but if I pay so much for it, I demand that it can handle unconverted videos. And Topaz really does that very well As an example, I can tell you that I watch a lot of my favourite TV shows and series on the go without any compression, I just download my show (which has a resolution practially the same as DVD) and put it on my SD card. As far as You do not want to watch videos with more than 700x... resolution, you dont even have to convert anything. All in all, I'm very satisfied with my Topaz's video playback capabilities
oh and to be even more clear - all <=700MB xvid encoded movies running superb smoothly, WITHOUT any compression

Just to be clear, the ripped DVD can't just be a standard file, it has to have been converted first, even if that conversion keeps the resolution and size intact, even Coreplayer can't play vob files.
Coreplayer also doesn't support AC3 audio which is a huge limitation and disappointment This means that any video files with DD are no go.
watched the pilot of Caprica. The file was downloaded for PC viewing. was a Xvid encoded .avi file resoloution 624 x 352 and encoded with 23 fps with a data rate of 133 Kbps (It says 133kbps for audio as well, so I assume that is the total ofr both streams).
Played perfectly on Core player
Thank you guys for voting and commenting. I decided to test the topic by myself. And I am so unlucky to say that I got stunned by it. I copied a .xvid encoded .avi music video file(71mb),24fps,640*352 from my Desktop Pc to the TD2,played it with the CorePlayer 1.30(6213) and the result was TERRIBLE. It just didn't play anything at all. The sound was there but the video lagged all the way. So,what to do now? Huh,I decied that's it,as my major priority was watching video without any conversion has failed and failed so badly,so I am selling it. But except all this I liked it.
Thank you guys,bye.
I think 1.3.2 build 6909 is the current release so maybe the version you are using is a bit old. It should play xVid avis no problem at that resolution. You could alos try the free TCMP from which coreplayer was derived. http://picard.exceed.hu/tcpmp/test/

What was the data rate? My version of Core is older (1.25) and the same res file flew for me. It was a 700MB file for 90 odd minutes of video.
I tried two videos(music),here are the detail:
The First one,(a Taylor Swift video),72mb
The details from my PC- Time-4 mins 37 secs,Resolution 640*352,Audio format-Lame MP3,Audio Bit rate-192kbps and Video Frame rate-23fps/sec, Video Date rate-2099kbps, Video Sample size-24bits, Video compression-FFDS
Now when I tried to play that by Core Player 1.30 on my TD2,it didn't run at all,
Now the details of the Video by Core Player-
Video- AVC aka H.264,Codec-Core AVC and I played it for first 30 seconds and it played 67 frames and Dropped 985 frames,the rate was 1.527
Now the second music video,98.6mb
Resolution-512*384,Runtime-18 mins 57 seconds, Frame rate-23fps/sec,Data rate-710kbps,Video sample size-24bits,Video compression-XVID
Now Core player played this video well,very well infact,the Details by Core player,
Video-MPEG4,Codec-Core ASP,I watched it for first 6 mins and it played 744 frames and dropped 7,Played FPS-23.88
Thanks
I'm guessing that You copied your file to the memory card. If so, did You install SDTuneUp drivers? It looks like they are a must have.
Sir,I don't know what is SD tune up driver and where to install from. BTW-I don't have a memory card on my TD2,it didn't come out of the box and so lazy to buy a seperate one.
hi, I am wondering how the performance is watching football (soccer) highlights from youtube or www.footytube.com , does anyone have any ideas? I have tried this on sony Ericsson w995 and the ball is invisible :s
I know it has been mentioned before but converting using he HTC Touch HD ‘Encoder’ program works well using HTC Album playback on my stock ROM TD2 playing back from the SD Card.
I understand that some of you are resistant to converting files and do not want to go this route but I thought it might help some of those reading this thread that smooth HQ playback from the SD card is absolutely possible without paying any money if you spend the time converting files on a PC (or Mac).

Same lag and stutters overhere. Any solutions out there allready?
Default mediaplayer suddenly stopped working on my TP2, though the quality was way better then the core player's. Too bad it doesn't work no more.
can anyone help with this after paying for core player it wont play anything with out stuttering along
everything used to lag for me in coreplayer, including videos but if i switch the audio settings to higher priority for mp3 files they play without a hitch. now if only i can find out how to do the same for videos
Add me to the list of VERY unsatisfied results with Coreplayer on the TP2... it absolutely SUCKS. BIG TIME. Laggy and crappy... how is a man suppose to watch all those great videos stuttering!
I had the same issue (laggy, ...) a couple of months ago. I sent an email to CorePlayer support and got this answer back :
"Hello,
This is a known issue and we are working with several people on trying to track it down and are hopeful to have it included with the next release. I can offer you a full refund if you would like.
Regards,
CoreCodec Support Group"
They expect to release the new version by the end of this month.
Just have to wait...
Hope it helps.
Are you using DirectShow? If not, try it.
Great on TP2
Coreplayer is running great on my TP2. Watched 2 movies today and the video looked great and frames were solid. Honestly its the best thing i did for my TP2 yet. I dont believe it will handle 800x480 but a little bit lower resolution should still be fine and the video scales very well. Check this review on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uONMuEeTo7A&feature=related
Watch near the end when he shows how Coreplayer runs.
REFUND!!!
So I just sent my refund request for Coreplayer. It has a bug with Tv-Out causing it to show a blue flicker. Also it has no real hardware support yet. The best thing I found was the Touch HD gui encoder program. It puts your videos into formats the built in players can use and those do have hardware support. So while coreplayer is a great app its not for the TP2.
Disable DirectDraw in TCPMP. Use GDI mode.
I am not sure if the following has any effect when DirectDraw is disabled, but this is the way I have it:
Select Options\Settings, then click on "Select page" and select DirectDraw.
You will see three options. Only select the one that says "use blitting instead of overlay"
This worked for me...
Does anyone have issues with video playback? It seems that every file I throw at the hero seems to have audio and video synchronization issues. Specifically, video lags behind audio, you hear something and see it later. I've tried HTC's player and Meridian. The files play on my pc just fine and aren't huge files.
Are there some recommended bitrates for Hero? I'm using an iPod/phone converter (videora) to get my files encoded which has options for bitrate. Bit disappointed that the Hero can't keep up with iPhone again though.
EDIT: Good News, scroll down for my conversion settings.
Hi, there are multiple threads on this subject on this forum. Just open the Hero main forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=508
... and do a search for "video" from the "Search this forum" -tool to the right.
In short, the Hero has massive problems playing mp4-video without a glitch. The best I've acchieved is smooth video that slows down a bit and then becomes faster to catch up with the timeline every 10 seconds.
This can be done by using an exact set of conversion options with one of many many encoders. Some say it works perfectly for them, but I suspect their eyes are just not as finely tuned as mine
Main thing seems to be the target resolution can be no higher than 480x360.
Try encoding/downloading psp video files its not 100% but very close

Cheers dude, I did look but I can't find anything about synchronisation, my videos aren't dropping frames (or at least that doesn't bother me), it's just that the audio is constantly out of sync with video. Makes everything look like it's dubbed, when people talk their lips don't match the sound. You see an explosion (for example)and hear it later.
I'm going to do some experiments with bitrates and converters today.
How exciting!
4 hours later, 3 different converters and no good news.
Has anyone got any settings and a converter to recommend?
Dude try using psp settings. I was having the same issues with avi's & mp4's but now I'm using psp settings its almost perfect

Could you post what the settings are? I tried a load of things earlier and it was all rubbish.
Resolution, bit rate for video and audio as well as file type would be grrrrreat!
Well, I -THINK- I've cracked it.
There are some dropped frames still but image quality is good and the sound is in sync. Here are the settings when using Handbrake http://handbrake.fr/?article=download to do the conversion:
If I don't give a value for it, then you don't need to change it.
Format: MP4
Crop: Automatic
Width/Height: 480 / Blank
Anamorphic: None
VideoCodec: Mpeg-4 (FFmpeg)
Framerate 23.976
2 pass encoding: Check
Avg Bitrate: 750
Audio Source: Automatic
Audio Codec: AAC
Mixdown: Stereo
Samplerate: 48k
Bitrate: 128
That's the best result I got after HOURS of experimenting but I'd be interested if anyone has anything better.
I see you already went ahead and did your own tests... Here are some relevant threads:

I myself, haven't been able to get Handbrake working with any settings. Audio always stutters like crazy, so the video is basically unwatchable.
What does work for me is Videora, which has a bunch of free converters bundled for a specific platform, so you can get a Videora iPod -edition and a Videora HTC-edition. There's a general edition as well.
The GUI is horrific and loads weird web pages into a huge box inside the program (presumably to allow advertising whilst using the program), but I did manage to get the smoothest playback out of it of all the converters I tried. I think I even went with default settings for HTC G1-video.
The video plays ok, the sound and video are in sync, but the video slows down and catches up every 10 seconds or so.
Hope you get it working! I am pretty hopeful that the coming update will alleviate the problem...
Thanks, will have a look at those threads. The Videora converter didn't work well at all for me, I'm wondering if there are certain files that retain characteristics that the phone doesn't like. IE that you may get a better result with converting from divx to mp4 than, for example high quality mp4 to something the hero can handle.
So I want some videos on my X10. I used ones I already had on my PC (MP4's) and put them on my phone. The quality is fine, some need to be made bigger as they have black areas on the sides. The problem is, there is lag. I'm talking about a second behing on music videos etc. I have tried about 4 conversion softwares now and they all produce the same results, some better than others however. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I have used Mobiola to convert my videos and they paly well on the X10.
You need to create a special profile for screen resolution and save it.
you just need to double tap the screen to full size the video and get rid of those black borders
Forget the conversion apps and just get the divx app.. Works fine without the hassle of converting!!
Hope it helps!!

Simr, I have the exact same problem and I can't seem to fix it regardless of what conversion program I use. I've read on other forums that other phones using the snapdragon proc are having the same prob. What's weird is that not everyone seems to be having the same issue. My temp fix has been to use the Rock divx player. Divx stuff plays in sync so I convert other formats to divx. Hopefully a firmware update will fix this.

on the stock video player? how?
Guys, i have an early beta version of player, which plays .avi, .mkv and other popular formats without any conversion, just uploaded 1.4gb avi movie from my pc, and it plays flawless, ~25fps. Does someone want to try it out ?

umm, when the file is playing, i just tap the screen twice - like how you would double click the mouse on your computer to open stuff
i was also going to suggest that maybe your video files are originally laggy before you put them on your x10 but according to adamupnorth, it sounds like a different issue, very strange...

this is because android 1.6 does not support hardware acceleration in the x10 ,2.1 will bring better video playback ,it will be 720p playback
