Yeah i know its a demo video that comes with omnia hd's.
But it works perfectly on our hd2's.
Nice video to show to your friends

YAY! Thanks a lot for this. I have seen this running on an Omnia Pro and it looked really cool. It really might be a great demo video to look at on the HD2.
One thing though: This is no 720p video. It's only 360p and it even gets upscaled on the HD2. If there would be problems playing such a small resolution source on the HD2 I would seriously doubt HTC until the end of all times.
I ran a benchmark test using a topaz with Leo rom Tess 3.9 + 2.5 sense,
video/audio information (according to VLC on laptop):
640*360, 30 FPS, mp4v
mp4a 44100 Hz
best playback in order
1. coreplayer (default settings, installed to internal memory)
2. wm player
3. htc album
coreplayer benchmark results;
avg speed: 77.10%
vid frames: 2995
audio samplle: 4393489
amount of data: 47521 kb
bench............- .................. original:
time: 02:09.487 ............... 01.39.833
frame rate: 23.130 ........... 30.000
sample rate: 33929........... 44100
data rate: 3.01 Mbit/s .......3.90 Mbit/s
conclusion: rather better sound with stuttering video than no stuttering video but stuttering sound (when CP ran test)
hope you enjoyed this little test, and lets see what the big league has to say about how it's supposed to run
on Toshiba TG01:
Average Speed: 194.17%
Benchmark Data Rate: 7.57 Mbit/s
Original Data Rate: 3.90 Mbit/s
^so Toshiba is 2-3 times as quick as HD2? lol
No its 2-3 times faster than a topaz running a leo ROM, which is to be expected.
I am downloading some movies right now in Mp4 format HD quality, 1280x720, i want to see how it looks on the HD2.
I dont think it should be a problem for this thing to play a 1.4 gb file, right?
BTW the Helicopter movie looks great on this beauty

Good luck , first of all i could not play those files.
Even coreplayer does not play anything bigger then 1008 pixels (program limit)
And second , it doesnt really make sense to play a higher resolution then the display can handle.
okay
what do you recommend?
i couldn't find a lower resolution.
convertion? with?
oh...ok thanks a lot for clarification.
I should have kept reading carefully.

No, but as some have mentioned -it would be nice if the HD2 COULD play higher resolutions as you wouldn't have to convert before transfering to the phone. I myself don't have so much of a problem with doing a conversion -but I can see the wish for just transfering what ever files you already have -and they'll be able to play..

watching movies on this thing in the car would be nice i think
i convert it, i try it, i watch it, i like it.
picture and sound on this beauty, is a beauty
thnx niknik76
thanks for the video however doesn't play well on my coreplayer. i played on win media looks great. on my other phone(vibrant) looks sick.

I downloaded unziped,didnt do nay conversion,its in MPEG-4 format already, it plays incredibely beautiful on my HD2 HTC default player both sound and picture,its almost like a 3D movie.Will keep it and showoff!!.
I'm new to this forum, so sorry if this has been asked loads of times before.
The HTC Desire cannot play most video files out of the box. What's considered the best android video player, with the most codec support?
I've managed to get two Quicktime MOVs to work but without sound (the rest don't, one is a 720p Robin Hood trailer, that looks amazing). The following don't work at all:
* AVI - Some DivX, some unknown
* FLV - Off You Tube
* RM - RealPlayer
* M4V
* MPG - MPEG1
The following work fine:
* 3GP
* WMV
* MP4
I particularly need a player that can handle DivX/Xvid and Quicktime MOV.
The best I can find is yxFlash. This supports:
# Supports mpg, avi, mp4, flv, mkv and wmv/asf files
# Mpeg1/2/4, H264 BP, Divx/Xvid, FLV1 and WMV7/8/9
# Mp3, AAC, WMA, AC3 and PCM
# Network Streaming (http, ftp, mms ...)
# Armv7 Neon Accelaration and Up to 720p DivX Playback for Cortex-A8 Based Devices.
Not Quicktime though (maybe some will work that are MPEG4). The free version only lets you play videos for 2 minutes long. It costs $9.90 (pricey!).
I'd rather find a free or cheaper alternative before shelling out nearly 10 dollars.
Thanks
I think there is nothing right now apart from yxflash which does AVI etc.
Its crap though this is what i think. Big down side of android is a good video player.
There is coreplayer being develop for android but it could be an other few years before we see it.

I'm really surprised that's the case but looking too and I cannot find much either. It's crazy. The HTC Desire has a wonder resolution. I read HTC plan to include DivX support in a future Desire firmware though.
I've just downloaded the English Wuzhenhua Player 4.1 from this forum. Maybe that's better.

Years! . They're losing money. Windows Mobile is on the way out. Thanks.
I've found yxflash to be pretty good.
It won't play any of my FLV files (contrary to what the site says) but it plays everything else nice enough. Sadly there is a noticeable lag at times though . Oddly despite the Market Place listing claiming "only 2 minutes of playback", I've had a video playing for over 3 minutes now, without problem.
Wuzhenhua on the other hand needs a lot of work. Sure it plays the FLV files (just about!). That's about the only good thing I can say about it. It crashes more than it doesn't. Thanks to the guy who translated it into English though.
The best video player is the one HTC ship with the Desire but it only plays .3GP, .WMV and .MP4. I guess the best solution right now is to transcode to .MP4 until HTC get around to releasing their firmware so the Desire can play DivX.
I find Act1 Video player to be the best so far.
Plays without hiccups 99% of the time

Yes WM is a different platform, As i've heard from betaboy that Android NDK is still not very good for coreplayer and until google will come out with good NDK there wont be coreplayer for Android.
Also coreplayer team is bit slow too as they were talking about new version of coreplayers for at least two years now.
Only Samsung Galaxy S is going to cover lot of codec in MKV.
Its a big downside of Desire as it cant play DIVX, XVID etc natively.

I've just installed that thanks. That is a nice player. It only looks to support the formats that are native to the phone though. So in my case .3GP, .WMV, .MP4.
Meaning it's not much different to the native HTC one really. I do like it can resume from where you left off though. yxflash has a neat feature whereby for .3GP, .WMV, .MP4 it defaults to the HTC Player for these formats and uses it's own interface for other formats. I like that as it's better.

DivX at least is coming:

The native HTC Video Player was able to play a Robin Hood (2010) 720p Quicktime trailer of mine. It looked amazing and played fine, no sound though. It was more luck than anything else it played.
rename them..
For your .m4v you can just change the extention to .mp4, and the desire movie player will play them back just fine.
It's not "out of the box" playback, but it doesn't take you long to rename them and the files doesn't change (like if you converted them to another format).
I did it with a couple of files when i threw a movie folder onto the sd card using astro. Not much hassle.
m4v's are just apple re-branded mp4's.

I noticed that after posting thanks. It turns out (using GSpot) they're MP4 files anyway. I'm pretty sure M4V and MP4 are the same thing anyway.

Thanks Hassan. Good tip. These are all just wrappers after all, with largely MPEG4 inside them. I'll do just that. It would be good to get some working 720p Quicktime trailers on my HTC Desire.
I'll have a look at Prince of Persia, thanks.
I have tried this with movies downloaded from itunes but although the file converted shows the movie reel icon when I try to play it says that the movie cannot be played. Were you simply renaming the .m4v to mp4 using astro?
Converted from what? To what? You'll need to rename it to .mp4 yes. Try this:
In ASTRO, choose "Open As --> Video"
Does it play now? I've found this. I have to "Open As" for it to work from Astro.
It works fine using YXFlash though and nicely still opens .mp4 files using the default HTC Video Player (i.e - if HTC Video Player cannot play the file, like DiVX it uses the YXFlash Player and if it can, it uses the HTC Video Player, all from YXFlash).

Speaking of old and beta's does anybody know what happend to coreplayer? I read sometime ago that it was in development for android, Best player from my winmobile days!
Rockplayer is the best, nothing can match it atm!!!
So I must admit, from a video playback issue, I've never owned a more frustrating device. That being said, because I love everything else about the XOOM, I've been willing to work to achieve good results. I have achieved great video quality with encoding times similar to what I saw when targeting my iPad, and file sizes that are totally manageable. I have attached the Handbrake profile I'm using. I hope everyone achieves similarly satisfying results. I am using Rockplayer.
OK, on to my new problem. Whenever I adjust the volume and it brings up the volume slider, the video slows though the audio continues, dropping the video out of sync. I have to jump ahead or back to bring the video back into sync. It is similar to the lag in video playback that happens when I first launch the video, but in this case, the playback corrects itself within seconds. Can anyone help with this issue?
I've messed with my XOOM like crazy since getting it, constantly installing and uninstalling applications and files. Could this be an issue?
Thanks in advance for your help!
While using RockPlayer are you using software or hardware decoding? Go to settings, scroll to the bottom and see if hardware decoding mode is checked. If not then check it, but please note you will have to uncheck the box when you want to decode non converted formats like Divx, Xvid, and MKV.
P.S. If all of your video files are properly converted H.264 videos with .mp4 containers you should be able to use use the gallery application to play all your videos, and if you don't like the gallery application for videos you can just use a file manager like astro or IO to select the videos from their folder and play them with the built in video player.
I personally use Total video converter & I have no problems with my video or audio.handbrake just wasn't what I was looking for.total video converter works flawlessly.

Some people have reported similar issues when using HB for various Droid models.
Personally I use the build-in Gallery for video playback, because it makes use of the hardware acceleration.
If you are interested, I have a few samples of 720p and 1080p video files on my website that play perfectly on the Xoom. Links on the site will stream as well.
Yes, I'm using hardware decoding in Rockplayer and I always used Handbrake for my iPad and Epic without issue. When I use the native gallery video player, the problem is worse, as the video starts to lag just from bringing up the playback controls. This is very frustrating. I will try some different converters and see how that goes.
Dvdcatalyst, I will give a few of your videos a try and report back.
Thanks everyone for your thoughts.
DVD Catalyst works great. I use the stock player and haven't had a single problem.
(Change the video quality to 1750 kbs in the Xoom preset).
i have no problem switching to DVD Catalyst but have one question...does it have the ability to monitor a folder? One thing that is so attractive to me about Handbrake is the ability to use Dropfolders to monitor my DVR folder, automatically convert recordings and dump them into my Dropbox. This makes all my recordings instantly available when I'm on the road.
Thanks

I tried RockPlayer a couple of months ago, and when it was still in beta, but I always come back to the default Gallery. I have never experienced sync or playback issues on the Augen Gentouch, Nookcolor, Droid X and the Xoom, but have heard numerous reports from people for all of these devices (and others) regarding other methods.
For the settings I use in my own software, for all devices it has profiles for) I make sure it plays as it should without the need of installing a different video player. Only for a few older iPaqs and Palm devices do I recommend the install of something else (TCPMP), but for Android, Gallery (or a player like Act1 which acts as a layer around the Gallery player to add new functionality) never gave me playback issues.
Sorry, when I use DVD Catalyst with the XOOM profile, the video comes out a stuttering mess. Here's the info on the files I'm looking to convert...

It looks liek for some reason the framerate of the created file isn't processed correctly.
I noticed you used a SageTV Recording, could you create a small recording and email it to me, or maybe PM me a download link for a small (1-2 minute) clip?

Additional detail
Additional detail regarding my problem - what I've discovered is that the video plays fine but it's only when the controls from Honeycomb are overlaid that the video playback begins to lag. In Rockplayer, bringing up the playback controls don't cause the video to lag, only the volume controls which are native to Honeycomb. Any additional thoughts? I'm thinking about wiping the system and starting from scratch to see if that makes a difference.
Thanks
thanks, I'll have a look at it in the morning. I am working on a small update that includes new Xoom profiles (the settings mentioned on my website) and will take this along in the process as well.

Thank you!
Shocked but I think I figured it out
OK, I'm shocked that I've actually figured out where I was going wrong. The files I was converting and having issues with were recorded using SageTV from a cable box set at 720p. 720p is 60 frames per second and Handbrake was set for FPS to be same as source. When I changed it to 29.97 FPS, I no longer experience issues with video lagging the audio when I adjust the volume or bring up the playback controls. I don't know if this is an important find, but I don't think it's a limitation limited to the XOOM, as I noticed my conversions using the iPad preset are also limited to 29.97 FPS.
I think I can go to sleep now
hi guys, whenever i try to record video with full HD settings, it records in 3GPP format... i have seen people here saying that they r recording video in their SGS2 in mp4 format...
i just want to know how to change the format from 3GPP to mp4... r they same ???
is there any problem with my phone ???
i am running lite pro 1.3 custom ROM rooted with CF root 3.7 flashed on top of it.
i see no option to change the format in the settings.... i am clueless... pls someone guide me in the right direction pls....
The phone says it's .3gpp, but it's recording in MP4
r u sure buddy ? why it says so ? being so powerful & best smart phone, it shouldnt derail us from the facts right ???
its kind of misleading, dont you think so ?
Under the settings page in the camera's video mode, change the video quality to superfine and that will get it to record in mp4.
ok i will do it. but what is ur phone saying when u record a video in superfine setting & when u see the details of that video ??? is it 3gpp or mp4 ? just asking out of curiosity...
It's MP4. Check it on your computer if you don't believe me
These formats are related. It is just container formats, what is important is the codec used to compress the video. Check wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GP_and_3G2
The 3GP and 3G2 file formats are both structurally based on the ISO base media file format defined in ISO/IEC 14496-12 - MPEG-4 Part 12,[8][9][10] but older versions of the 3GP file format did not use some of its features.[7] 3GP and 3G2 are container formats similar to MPEG-4 Part 14 (MP4), which is also based on MPEG-4 Part 12. The 3GP and 3G2 file format were designed to decrease storage and bandwidth requirements in order to accommodate mobile phones.
3GP and 3G2 are similar standards, but with some differences:
3GPP file format was designed for GSM-based Phones and may have the filename extension .3gp
3GPP2 file format was designed for CDMA-based Phones and may have the filename extension .3g2
Some cell phones use the .mp4 extension for 3GP video.
3GP
The 3GP file format stores video streams as MPEG-4 Part 2 or H.263 or MPEG-4 Part 10 (AVC/H.264), and audio streams as AMR-NB, AMR-WB, AMR-WB+, AAC-LC, HE-AAC v1 or Enhanced aacPlus (HE-AAC v2). 3GPP allowed use of AMR and H.263 codecs in the ISO base media file format (MPEG-4 Part 12), because 3GPP specified the usage of the Sample Entry and template fields in the ISO base media file format as well as defining new boxes to which codecs refer. These extensions were registered by the registration authority for code-points in ISO base media file format ("MP4 Family" files).[11] [12] For the storage of MPEG-4 media specific information in 3GP files, the 3GP specification refers to MP4 and the AVC file format, which are also based on the ISO base media file format. The MP4 and the AVC file format specifications described usage of MPEG-4 content in the ISO base media file format.[8]

i have the same doubt in galaxy s 2 camera recording. i post the problem in

Anyone else experienced this issue? if get idea, please tell us. THX
What exactly does the video format support by the 10.1? I tried installing .avi, .mpeg and I wasn't able to play the videos. Most of the .avi are Blueray copies. Or anyone know a good video converter for Mac?
use handbreak to convert your .avi files , i do know that the galaxy tab 10.1 plays nice with .mp4 files
good luck

I second this. You can stream .avi from your computer if you prefer.
moboplayer provides a bunch of soft-decoding codec ,which will take care of most video if hardware-decoding won't work. just try this app first and see if that helps .

You can also use rock player to play AVI files and such.

I've used both the stock & mobo (haven't tried rock yet, I'll have to give it a shot), & the stock player plays just fine with h.264 & mp4. In fact, I played the exact same video on both, & I thought the picture looked the best on the stock player. Of course, that requires you to re-encode most likely, which kinda defeats the purpose of having the avi encapsulation in the first place... up to you in the end--let us know how it works out.
Can somebody please test this clip?
I can play it perfectly on my 7" Galaxy TAB GT-P1000 but all the Tegra2 Honeycomb tablets I've tried it on will either stutter badly of not play at all!
I just can't imagine why a previous generation Single-Core CPU can play it without any problems using hardware acceleration and the Tegra2 Can't !?!

Download Handbrake then go to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
You can follow the directions or simply download and import the 720p high profile preset.
If you want to stream video, a combination of uPnPlay (free in market), moboplayer and ps3 media server has worked fairly well for me.

We don't want to re-encode! We want to play! Other less powerful devices can play almost everything without re-encoding! Why can't the Tegra2 do it?
To reencode is missing the point. It's a clip I encoded for a video survey in the Xoom forum. No Tegra 2 tablet can play it smoothly. You can blame poor NVidia driver, HC's beta-ness, or the crummy Tegra 2. That's just the way it is.
BTW, 1080p high profile is simply not in the Tegra 2 specs, drivers notwithstanding. If you want 1080p HP, buy another tab.
BTW, the entire suite of clips used for the survey is here. Tegra 2 (on 3.1) can play 720p HP and 1080p BP. On the Xoom, the stock player is hard-capped to 1080p BP. If you play MP or HP, the stock player will error out or crash.

That is something you'll have to ask Nvidia and Google, I don't know the answer to that.
However, transcoding will guarantee the video to work. And you can queue up files in Handbrake and walk away.
So, you can either complain on forums, or use the solution presented and watch 720p high profile video on the tab.

You don't need or have to convert anything really (maybe except mkv's) if you just use MoboPlayer to watch them.
If you prefer to use the Gallery to watch videos, then it's best you convert to mp4 files.
On my Mac i have a myriad of converters, from VisualHub (no longer in development), Handbrake (free), WinX HD Video Converter, my three regulars.
There are tons out there.
i've been having trouble with a 720p x264 file about 1.2GBs.
the video plays but it is very laggy/choppy and the audio isnt in sync with the video playback.
i've checked that the files played fine on my computer.
should i convert these files too?
Thank you all for your great tips. Will definitely try it out when I get the chance to this evening. Highly appreciate it guys! CHEERS!!!
Regardless of whats being said over at the Xoom fourm, the GST as of now can only play back 720p/1080p H.264 Base Profile, smoothly. So far from my tests the GST doesn't support AC3 Audio, so the stock player will not play it.

I started this thread and there is useful information in it in relation to H.264 playback on the GST.

HC 3.1 supports 720p high profile and I haven't had any problems using the Handbrake settings posted over at the TF forum.
In that thread I've seen people trying to solve some judder problems with certain clips, but tbh I'm not a video guru and the conversation is over my head. But as I've said, I have yet to experience that for myself even with movies with lots of action and fast camera pans.

I had just about given up hope trying to find the right combination of settings via Handbrake to encode my DVDs so they would play smooth on my GTab. I have come close but just hadn't hit it. I then downloaded your clip from your link - 1280 baseline - and was pleasantly surprised by not only the absolute smooth playback but by the picture quality.
I have since tried your VDisc_023 but the playback isn't absolutely smooth. It is close but not quite there.
So here's my question, can you supply either the change I need to make in VDisck_023 (I noticed it is set to High, perhaps just changing it to Base?) to equal your 1280_Baseline Avatar clip I mentioned above or the complete settings I can use in the GUI Handbrake interface? If I had my choice, I would prefer using the GUI but at this point, I will take what I can get!
Thanks so much for showing me I can get smooth playback with a terrific picture!
i use freemaker. much better easier and faster than handbreak give it a try

Tried it and was not happy with the quality of the output. I was seeing too much... don't know the technical term is but I call it blocking. I really liked the easy interface and how you can easily cut scenes to convert but...
