Not tried but I dont think it would as it records 720p so I would think that its the max until new phone comes out.
He plays 1080p files only with other players, with fps around... 2.
This is something I was going to try tonight, so far I have played a 720p xvid which the phone breezed. What was the video bitrate that you tried?

I've also had tried to play one with the stock app as well with no success, retrying 2 now...yeah, I get unsupported file type, I think that stopped me from loading more onto the phone. However, I have successfully played these onto my TV through DLNA.
Maybe I'll try to load more later.
i'm quite sure if you use rock player you could
but it'll be slow as hell
To be fair the specs always said 720p playback
what's the point in playing 1080p content on a 480 x 800 screen?
I'm curious, does any other phone play 1080p without being very slow?
Not really a complaint just an observation as I was planning on putting some of my kids movies onto the phone for the rainy day and I have some 720p as well as 1080p movies.
Just means that I have to alter those before I put them on the phone

at 1080p you wont be able to keep many movies in your SD card
you'll have a better luck at 720p
I managed to playback this 720p @ 60fps flawlessly , not 1080p but damn it is awesome.

Hi i successfully got a working ubuntu on my microsd class 10 32 gb card
i used a samba fileshare to mount the huge partion (ext4) on my sgs
if i try to play a 17gb 1080p file its always jerky with any player.
i also got successfully connected thru otg adapter my usb harddrive (with an usb hub) formatted to ext3. (can be connected to any windows pc via ext2fsd btw)
there are fullhd movies also on it and sgs2 is still jerky while playing any movie
its OC to 1600Mhz ... GPU also tried to OC to 400 Mhz still out of luck.
so i wanna watch fullhd (1080p) movies over my phone streaming via the mhl adapter to my tv 42".
booth wont work microsd card and usb hdd ... CPU and GPU OC wont help either.
Asking a bit much I think. I was floored at how flawlessly it can play 720p in the first place.
Get an SGS2?

Emmm.... this is a SGS1 (I9000) thread and not SGS2 (I9100) thread.
I heard SGS2 could play 1080p movies that have bitrate up to 24mbit, you should check that in your own forum.

With SGS's only option being RCA with the max resolution of 768x576, I would also like to know why would you want more than 1080p.
And for all the other that are wondering why your SGS doesn't play 1080p movies, the answer is very simple:
Too low hardware!!!
1080p movies need at least dual-core CPU.
So, get over it, it ain't gonna happen, so stop asking!
/thread closed!
Actually afaik it's GPU support that would be needed. The SGS would choke on 720p if the GPU didn't handle the decoding. Want to see trying playing it in something like rockplayer rather than the stock video player. Slide show without GPU acceleration.

For encoding, try Handbrake. It works really well using the iPhone preset (just make sure to adjust the video width to 854 pixels).
A Blu-ray rip of an episode of Dexter I have looks amazing.
what is handbrake?

http://handbrake.fr/ it's a free Windows app that allows you to re-encode video files.
Anyone try and encode an HD movie on handbrake ?
I convert a 8gb 720P movie, set the bit rate at 1500...The vid took about 8 hours convert, and ended up being 3gb when done...set at 854x480...I also tried designating the output file size to 1.5gb, still took 8 hours...Been using Handbrake for a while now, quite familiar with the "advanced" settings, but taking so damn long to convert 720p movies. Love it none the less...

Technically, it's not playing 720p. The 720 refers to horizontal lines of resolution, not the vertical lines. 1280x720 is the resolution of 720p.
The X10 is capable of playing what YouTube and other sites call "480p", which is pretty much what DVDs are encoded at.
this is great guys. thanks alot, im going to try to download handbrake and convert my mpeg movie files
i agree, x10 can play some really HQ files though i find little use of it, a "normal" 350mb episode or 700mb movie will do fine when coverted to .mp4
it's a pitty x10 doesn't have TV-out capability...i had X2 and it worked pretty nicely
is there any way that picture from the x10 could be sent over wireless or am i just talking nonsence maybe an app that would show on your PC the screen which is on X10

This is incorrect. Yes, the X10 is capable of playing 480p, but you make it sound like it can't play anything above that resolution because the screen itself is 480p.
If you play a 720p video on the X10, it will be downscaled to 480p, but the X10 is still decoding the full 720p video which takes quite some horsepower. I used Handbrake to convert a 1080p Youtube trailer to 720p, which the X10 plays, but not without some stutter. Maybe my bitrate setting were a little high and the X10 could play it smoothly on lower encoding settings, but the fact that it plays a perfectly fine quality 720p even with some dropped frames is still pretty impressive.
And no, it's not really usefull to playback any video with a greater resolution that the X10's native screen resolution, but it's fun to play around with IMO. I do wonder if the media player has GPU acceleration. If not, that these results are all the more impressive.

So you recorded 1080p video on your SGS2, and it won't play properly on your PC?
Sounds like your PC is too slow, or it's not hardware decoding. Try Media Player Classic or KMPlayer if you're on Windows.

LOL, yeah, this should go in the PC section, not SGSII section.
To OP: Try updating your codecs too, other than that... get a new computer!
I had the same problem with my sony vaio FW31J. Should be good enough to play it, but it was jerky and images stopped sometime.
I have no idea why but it would only do this when my laptop wasn't plugged in.
When I was on battery it had the problem. And no I did not have any energysaving module on.
installed these codecs:
http://www.cccp-project.net/
the right click on file and choose open with, choose media player classic, if this isnt very smooth then get back to us.
What generation of gfx card do you have, gerforce, ati, 5,6,7, 280,460 etc
Google CCCP to get Media player classic (for your PC) and make sure you get DXVA enabled. Every Windows versions has a slightly different setup, and only about 2 year and younger video cards (AMD/Nvidia)can take advantage of DXVA. Can someone say if any integrated Intel video chipsets can do DXVA?

As much as people think it might be a pc issue I experience the same thing on my i5 750 @3.9GHz. Op I think it is due to 1080p video recording not being as many fps and smooth as 720p. I've watched other peoples recorded 1080p as well and it's the sam whn the phone camera is panning. Some people may not notice it as much or choose to ignore it but I just use 720p for now. Maybe with some overclocking it can push out a steady 30 fps 1080p.
What are the specs of your computer? I've played plenty of 1080p videos from my phone on my comp without issue.
Like mark 2222 says plenty of power its actualy a p4 2.9, with 2gig ram.old but should suffice.720 plays back smooth

P4 2.9GHz is obviously not enough if you can't play it back. I've tried dual Xenon 2.4GHz (about 8 years old) and it had problem playing back 720p content so don't expect your 2.9GHz to play back 1080p. Buy a new graphics card, or a new computer, or don't try to play 1080p content.
It's often not the processor that's the issue. We can see that the SGS2's and Tegra 2 processors are fine, but much slower than an i5.
The problem is often the graphics card. Don't blame the processor or the phone until you're sure you're using your graphics card to render the videos, not the processor! That's what they're for! It also needs to be capable of hardware decoding 1080p.
1080x1920 = ~2 million pixels
720x1280 = ~1 million pixels
1080p has more than double the number of pixels as 720p. It's a big step up!
lets just be clear here, this is NOT a pc spec issue, I can play hd movies on my 6 year old laptop which has a crappy celeron cpu onboard and an ati radeon 7000, this is a codec issue or something to do with the way the video is recorded. I will do some tests on my rig and report back.

Haha, no way. That is not powerful enough. I had a P4 3.2 and also a graphics card that had hardware acceleration of 1080p wmv files.
When playing back normal 1080p video files (xvid), the framerate was low at about 5 fps. When playing 1080p wmv files, the hardware acceleration from the GPU got it up to the 30 fps rate of the video file.
That's also the reason why the I9100 can play back 1080p with no issues. The Exynos chipset has hardware acceleration of the scaling of 1080p to the screen resolution. Tegra2 on the other hand does not have this, so it struggles with 1080p videos.
That's more than powerful enough. I played back 1080p AVC video perfectly on an old media box running a craptacular P4 @ 2.4GHz or somewhere there.
Your graphics card needs to be able to decode it, also try another decoder/codec pack meant for HD video. CCCP is ok, I swear by CoreAVC. It's not free, but you can find 'free' copies floating around google, try and buy. It's worth it if you're on a crappy computer and don't want to upgrade your hardware.
I've tried playback of 1080p video from the phone and it's fine. Buttery smooth. Most likely a problem with your computer then.
Is the file copied from the phone to the pc or are you trying to run it from the phone attached as mass storage? Could be the usb port being slow to transfer if this is the case. Maybe try downloading a test MP4 from the web and see if it is ok?

rubbish, a pc of that spec will tear it to bits with the correct codecs, my ageing P4 with onboard intel graphics runs it smooth at work, like i said this is not PC spec issue, I suspect we are not being given all the relevant info here from the OP, we are missing some vital information which will ultimately turn out to be the cause.
I justried to play full HD videos through my pendrive......the default video player says file cannot be played and when I try to play through mobo player the audio and video is out of sync....I thought this tab plays full HD videos.....guys some advice!!
AFAIK it doesn't. 3.1 should have Full HD support but 3.0.1 doesn't have it.
I could be wrong though.
3.1 as far as we know will not play 1080p videos only output them via HDMI.
Currently only 720p can be played.
I hope im wrong about the first thing.
But in the tabs config it was written that it plays full hd videos!

you can try mkv's with "Astro filemanager" -> Open As -> video
and the mkv will play, if not already loaded automatically..

its not stuck at 720p.. but if you think about it, your native tablet resolution is 1280x800 , which is natively projected/mirrored to your telly and if you want 1080p which is then going to happen with it?
its gonna scale it...
if your video of 1920x1080 should be played on a tv without mirror, it could work, but i doubt it got the videomemory to have 1 fullHD and one scaled at 1280x1080 . which is the problem right now..
but i know Atrix4G have something like that, as i uses 2 separate displays at the same time. so it might be we get that function..no video on tablet, but fullHD on telly.

I dont think so, because have a checked topic for this problem. And some files is played fine, except 1080 i though have some problem with the Tegra2 decode, not because of OS.
So confuse about this problem, if can not play smoothly 720 and 1080, so HDMI output for nothing.

not sure about 1080p that's going to be hit and miss especially if you have big file sizes.
I'm using revolver 3.2 at 1.3 and can confirm 720p playback with file sizes of 3 gig or so play perfectly with dice player.
This can play back 1080P files just fine....DEPENDING on the bitrate. It's a limitation of Tegra 2. If the bitrate is high, it will have problems. Just like 720P files with really high bitrates have the same limitations.
Honestly, why does it matter? If you're outputting through HDMI to watch things, then I can kinda understand, but the screen itself only supports 720P. Why bother with 1080P?
Just out of curiosity, does overclocking improve video playback?

Bitrate, uh?
How much is "really high"? 10mbps? 16mbps? and why the lower the resolution the higher the bitrate it can handle, if I got your post right?
Nah. I have a 1080p file, 16mbps. Plays well without overclock. I have another 1080p file, 10mbps, dosen't play well even at 1.6ghz. 720p file, still 10mbps, needs overclock (even 1.2ghz is enough). The difference between them? the kind of encoding. All this with Diceplayer, not the horrid Rockplayer, mind you.

How much is "really high"? 10mbps? 16mbps? and why the lower the resolution the higher the bitrate it can handle, if I got your post right?
Nah. I have a 1080p file, 16mbps. Plays well without overclock. I have another 1080p file, 10mbps, dosen't play well even at 1.6ghz. 720p file, still 10mbps, needs overclock (even 1.2ghz is enough). The difference between them? the kind of encoding. All this with Diceplayer, not the horrid Rockplayer, mind you.

I'm struggling with 720p encoded @L4. 1.. Mostly all L3. 1 plays nice in diceplayer.

If I remember correctly, movies encoded in High Profile will not play back well. Main Profile is the best this machine can handle. I believe it's a Tegra 2 limitation in general.

not sure about 1080p that's going to be hit and miss especially if you have big file sizes.
I'm using revolver 3.2 at 1.3 and can confirm 720p playback with file sizes of 3 gig or so play perfectly with dice player.

Let me comment on that:
LOL
Without OC, DICE player (and transformer itself) can only play Level3.1 content and it will slideshow on 99% of internet standard (scene) releases. If you think 'plays perfectly', then you're brain and eyesight damaged.
With OC, you can play play simple 720p content (think WebDL releases) with decent quality (though they will still drop frames in more complex scenes), but more complex releases (think blueray rips) will drop frames on most scenes and slideshow totally on more complex ones.
You would have to be really lucky to find a 1080p movie that will play. Many won't open at all, rest will be dropping frames constantly. When ASUS said that 3.1 update make 1080p playback possible, by playback they meant rendering first frame of the movie.
Dice player is the best
go for it
As mentioned on the other posts about HD playback, the hardware decode of 720p or 1080p H264 with AAC is currently broken in 3.2. Worked fine in 3.1, then got broke. Asus are aware of it and have promised a fix.
If you have such files (e.g. BBC iPlayer HD content) then no player will be able to play them back smoothly as software decode simply can't handle them. Only option is to either transcode or downgrade to HC3.1 to get hardware decode back.
Let's hope the fix is not far off now.
bro just play 720p. trust me you THINK you can tell the difference between 720 and 1080 on a 10' screen but you cant......unless your not human

Well, there cannot possibly exist a difference between displaying 720p and 1080p on a 1280x800 screen, since all 1080p content would be scaled down to 720p. Where 1080p would actually matter is if you often connect to a big monitor or HDTV that is capable of 1080p, such as I do on a regular basis for when I want to watch movies without having to boot up my desktop computer. There is definitely a noticeable difference between 720p videos I've converted with Handbrake and the actual 1080p Blu ray movies, but it's not really a big deal for me.
My suggestion for those truly concerned about high quality 1080p playback would be to buy a netbook equipped with a Nvidia ION or comparable video chipset, as I have had no issues playing Blu ray from my own ION-equipped nettop.
yeah my MX player would lag like crazy. Dice is the way to go!

ah i see. then YES. there would definitely be a difference. I just assumed you were watching directly on the TF. my mistake
I tried playing my videos on my computer using Windows Media Player and it won't play any of my videos. It said something about not having the codec for it, but I need to find a reputable place to either get that or a better playback option where I won't get a virus on my computer. Any suggestions or links?

So I downloaded it but when playing 4k its very jumpy and freezes, do you think that its my PC that just can't hang with it? I have a old Dell m1330 xps laptop, 3gb ram (haha same as my phone, I love that) and 2GHz processor on windows vista.
Second question, is it possible to burn this to a DVD or can you only playback on a bluray or something like that?

Oh yeah, that computer can't handle 4K video. You need a really modern computer.
My laptop has a 2.4ghz amd with 4gb ram, it's 4 years old, and it can't play back 4k either, very very choppy.
Here is a video I shot. While on youtube, try it 1080p, then try "original" resolution. You should see that 1080p should be smooth, but original (4K) will be very choppy.

Well there's your problem (actually my problem)... Yup, even 1080p playsback like crap on this laptop. Damn.
Now to just save the videos, I can save them on a thumb drive and eventually we can burn them onto bluray or a similar technology right? I mainly ask cause I wanted to record the kids in 4k, and eventually five or ten years down the line buy a 4k TV when they are affordable, but it would be nice to have some home videos shot that way.
my laptop has 3.4 ghz i7,12 gb ram, and a 1 gig nvidia gforce gts 360m and i can play them just fine
I have an Atari 800XL an they play just fine
Potplayer x64.
Plays every video that I have thrown at it. Have a geforce gtx 460 with 1gb ram. Plays fine. 4k resolution thru Youtube always stutters for me. I have read that it is a prob;em on Youtubes side.
strange i have intel i5 4200u with with 12gb ram 2 video cards intel hd 4400 and GT720m both are 2gb youtube 4k plays fine no lags but media player classic and vlc stutters on 4k videos
It is difficult for most players to afford 4K videos. You can download VLC player to have a try or downscale your 4k video to 1080p first before playing.
I use vlc for pc and mx player for android.

play 4k videos smoothly
for the 4K videos, not only about the powerful computerbut also the code that you may also has the influence. If your computer not such powerful, then I suggest you to downscale your files then have a try.
