720p video issues?! - Xoom General

Hey guys, I recently converted my mkv inception 720p video to a avi which is a supported format for the xoom.
Aside from not having a dedicated app baked in for movies, it slows to a crawl in playing on rockplayer..both hardware and software decoding.
i need help if you guys can help, im desperatley looking to see how this bad boy plays hd video. jesus ill punch someone in MY OWN FACE IF I HAVE TO. thats right, ill punch someone...in my face.
thanks

Try encoding as MP4, let us know.

sucks that 1-1.5hr encoding is needed for this expensive slab. ffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

What audio do the video have? Stereo or multichannel?
My SGT can't play multichannel audio and perhaps xoom have same problem.
SGT plays 720p flawless as long the file have stereo sound. If the file have 5.1 or Dts it dont play.
Dont think that Android support multichannel audio, i was hopping that that should be fixed whit Honeycomb but maybe not.

The native Honeycomb video player won't do AVI, which is why you need RockPlayer. However, it will do H.264 and MPEG4 natively, so try those out, they should run just fine.

I just tried playing a MPEG4 @ 2100 kbps using the system player. It was choppy and there was no sound.

so weird how notion ink adam can play any video format i through at it without conversion. i wonder what's the difference between the two....

I followed this video on youtube and was able to play a video fine on my xoom..

Don't the Adam and Xoom have the same Tegra 2 processor? If so, that is encouraging news since that would mean it is not a hardware issue.

No one denies that converting videos will work. We just would like a tablet that handles video like its not 2006.

Native divx playback?

Can anyone confirm whether the DHD offers native divx / avi playback it does this require third party software such as rockplayer or mplayer?
It requires software codecs to play those file types

No great sweat. Rock player works well on the Desire so can only assume it will be excellent on the dhd!

Interesting to hear, thanks. I didn't think it supported such formats out of the box.
dont waste your time with rockplayer, it loses sync all the time now and the dev wont trasferre your licence when you change phones.
im currently using vplayer alpha - it free and tbh excellent app. ive not noticed any sync problems since loading it, and it handles 720p with no problems.
give it a try
Just to confirm that DivX/Xvid plays natively, however, I tried a high bit rate video and it lagged beyond belief. I suggest you try Rockplayer or Vplayer, both are very capable.... whatever happened to Core Player for Android!
Regards.

I agree, just tried the native player and I can feel the lagginess and the framerate is slow... Rockplayer played the same video smoothly...
I tried to play a 1,5 GB Xvid with the stock player, which wasn't a big success, then installed the free rockplayer from the market, which worked fine, excellent playback and the screensize makes it very watchable (gotta use earplugs though)
Playing 720p Flv videos with HTC Desire HD
Hi all! My main use of a smartphone is to play 720p Videos on the go. I've tried all of the last giants (Htc Desire, Sony X10, Hd2 with Android roms...) using native videos player,Rockplayer,Alphaplayer but my 720p flv videos did not play smoothly.Now I have a Samsung Vibrant, so far so good! All of my videos play with no issues.
My question is: does the Desire HD capable of playing 720p videos in flv format smoothkly (Ps:I'd like to buy it for the bigger screen and 8Mpxls)?
Thanks

why dont you just re-encode it to a file format that takes less powered to decode ?
Hi. Because I have more than 500 Go of movies, mangas and many things in 720p flv format so I don't have time to change them when I want to travel.
I might be wrong but I THINK the SGS is king when it comes to movie playback and the formats supported out of the box.
I can't speak for the DHD yet as I don't have one but I'm sure someone will be able to check this out for you.
Id also like to know were Core media player for android went.
Wonder if it ever will get released.

Is true, the SGS plays everything without problems. It handles full dvd 720p mkv`s like a champ, even with dts sound. I hope DHD can, as in terms of power it could handle them too.
Can anyone confirm if the dhd can handle the same as above?

No, it can't. The DHD (as stated in the specifications) does not play mkv files out of the box. It's capable of decoding the video stream (which is h264) but the audio is ac3 which is a no go with the stock player. I tried vplayer but the results are disappointing - it's like a slowmotion video. What you can do is reencode the files copying the video stream and encoding the audio to aac, and saving it in mp4 format. It takes a couple of minutes for half hour movie, so it's no trouble at all. Still you might be careful what bitrates you encode since the DHD has to have some limit on that.

Thanks all for the feed back! Now I think that it's better for me to stay with my Vibrant for watching my HD videos (even if I like the 8Mpxls and dual led flash of the Desire HD). However it's just impossible to have the perfect smartphone isn'it? My dream: I hope some day we will have an Android phone with 12Mpxls 25 mm wide angle, Full HD recording and playback in any formats (specially flv for me), 4,3 inch or bigger screen with 1280X720 resolution and MEGA AMOLED!!!

Can the tab play 720p .mkv movies?

I am a little disappointed in the Xoom for not being able to play 720p mkv files properly.
I have a lot of .mkv video files and I love to watch movies on a tablet.
So can the galaxy tab play 720p mkv files without problem?
Well i didn't know that whether Galaxy play or not but the new MacBook pro can play 720p video.

mkv is a container. If the video was encoded using h.264, the tab will play.
Wtf, why bother mentioning a macbook? Are you on pills, or did you forget to take them??
The Sgt plays all kinds of videos, even 1080p without any problems.
Yes, the SGT can play 720p .mkvs with no issue, it's something I do on a regular basis with mine.

The tab handles greatly hd video. For some reason it even supports mkv and external subtitles with the built in player. Aaaand my mid 2008 MacBook already plays with no issue full hd video, so it goes without question that a newer cpu coupled with a decent/good video chip will play a simple 720p file XD

Galaxy Tab is a good video player and play the most formats. Only if it has stereo sound. It cant handle multichannel audio.
And a sad thing is that most of the mvk movies has multichannel 5.1 DD dts etc. So you need to convert them ao you get stereo sound or it wont play the movie.
Galaxy Tab has a really good stock player. Rockplayer vplayer cant compare to the stock one that works great.
I belive that those who have problems whit playing movies whit xoom, have movies whit multichannel. Have not got any answer if android 3.0 can handle it. I now that android 2.2 Cant handle it and had hopes that 3.0 should play multichannel.

What version of the Galaxy Tab do you have?? (Sprint, Verizon, Locked / Unlocked etc..??)

[Q] lack of video codecs??

i know there is a converter and some people having problems with mkv and i know about h.264 and im starting use my atrix as multimedia i watch some movies in "dvdrip" i doubt since seems quality it lower, i try with an anime dvdrip .mp4 and i cant watch so im wondering wich software i can use to convert in the desire format without lose quality. i have any dvd converter.
so not sure how to convert and what settings. this start annoy me since my n1 play several formats. sorry if this was covered but i didnt find the right solution.
thanks a lot
I would appreciate an answer to this as well.
I have found that the Affix will play most of the .avi movies that I download. I haven't had any luck with the few mp4 or mvk files I've tried.
If anyone knows how to convert any format to something the Atrix can play, please let us know..
Thanks!!
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Instead of converting just install a player that can decode all of these files. There are a couple of good ones out there. I've read good things about Meridian and VPlayer.
I try rock player no luck ,i download from youtube the google io in hd 60 fps 1280x720 and .mp4 and surprise I can't play.
My one year old nexus one do fine stupid motorola y try convert with any dvd and was awful the video was so fast not sync with sound,i guess because 60 fps and max van convert its 30 fps any more tips? Thanks

The issue is not codecs, it's Tegra 2 cannot handle high profile HD decoding (at least at the moment)
If you stick to Main profile and no B-frames you will likely be ok. Which also means you are likely having to re-encode your video.
More info here
Handbrake preset here
qqplayer works
If you add the video with motorola media link (think that's what its called) it will convert it to play on your phone.

If you just want to play files on your phone, try Moboplayer. I use it to watch XVIDs and it works perfectly. It is also free so worth a try.

Enjoy Your Video. The best video player on Android! Watch any of your videos on a phone without conversion, anytime and anywhere. We feature the best playback experience and quality.
Our video player supports:
All video formats (need to choose "software decoding" mode in most cases)
Popular subtitle formats such as SRT, ASS, and SAA
Subtitles built in MKV, MPV, MOV, and others
Multi-audio streams and multi-subtitles
Playlists and continuous play on same type files
Videos streamed through HTTP, RTSP protocols
Media libraries and sort videos by type
Thumbnail displays of videos
strange dude, my atrix plays all formats, i think that have one, that only comes audio, but this video was 1080p(HD) and i dont made even 1 update in my atrix
it's not that simple.
just because you can play one individual 720p h.264 file doesn't mean you can play them all. there are different profiles / bit rates etc.
For h.264 Tegra 2 supports main profile but not high profile. Xoom owners have done all kinds of tests on this. To date no video player has been able to overcome this.

[Q] Full hd video playback

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!
And even xoom plays full hd vids!

FullHD 1080p wmv works and probably the same with some mkv's but audio will not ... it will just scale the video to 720p..
you can try mkv's with "Astro filemanager" -> Open As -> video
and the mkv will play, if not already loaded automatically..
this also works for other formats..

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.
Another thing is can we play flash game in facebook with 3.0?

Try using an app called 'dice player' from the marketplace.
There is a trial version available, to see whether your device is compatible. It's hardware accelerated, basically meaning that it should play without lag. I know this from experience as I had the same issue using my advent vega running vegacomb 3.2
If It's on YouTube or iplayer, you have to let it buffer - all you really can do
Hope this helps

+1 for Dice Player.
Works on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G, it plays mkv's without any problems. I downloaded 1080p youtube windows in MP4 format and they play fine. You can download the 3 day trial + the Tegra 2 plugin and test it!!
Another +1 for diceplayer
I bit the bullet and purchased it... very happy with it so far. Rockplayer and the other well known media players very much so pale in comparison to DicePlayer for the galaxy tab 10.1. Not that I had issues with Rock Player on my old Epic, just that diceplayer plays very nicely with the tegra2.
I have been using it with UPNPlay and MediaTomb on my server in my room and it makes video playback very nice in my house. (except that my N router doesn't buffer the high def stuff well)
Copying to the device though, i have never had an issue with anything i have thrown at it.

Unfortunately it is still no go for me. Downloaded Diceplayer Trial + codec and still give me choppy 1080p video playback (better than other player) so I'll hold my card for a while and waiting for other recommendation.
What make me really frustrated is my friend old spec tab 7" can play it with no problem whatsoever.. wtf is wrong with this so called dual core marketing bull****
You can always use Handbrake or something to convert it down to 720p, since it will look exactly the same on the tab. All of my 720p vids work great
first you are totally right my galaxy tab7 0n anndroid 2.33 plays 1080 videos much more smootherthan my other tab 10.1 , but remember the humming bird processor in the galaxy tab 7 had a very strong GPU compared to the nvidia tegra gpu so dont consider the galaxy tab 7 a low end device also the galaxy tab 10.1 had to scale for resolution (1280x800 ) while the galaxy tab 7 scales for only (1024 x600 )which is a bigger load on the galaxy tab 10.1 Gpu
second there were a similar problem in the motorola xoom forum and they reached a conclusion that the problem is in the honeycomb compitability with nvidia drivers in some videos extensions not all 1080 p videos lag but only some and may be fixed by a second update or by the release of icecream sandwitch so try to

EDIT: I also bought DicePlayer from the market! This is an excellent app! If I remux 720p MKVs into MP4s and downsample AC3/DTS to 2channel stereo AAC files. The quality on the player is great! I can see a lag occasionally though! It's most definately a drivers issue!
I've never tried to play a 1080p MP4 though.
I've had some success playing 1080p VC1 video files though aka WMV (Windows Media Video) files on the native video player without any issues! The video is silky smooth!
can I just ask why you want to play 1080p video in the first place? the gtab 10.1's resolution is barely over 720p so you will see no quality difference when playing 1080p, if anything it will be worse as it wont play as smoothly.

The usual answer to this question is because they have loads of 1080p videos already, and don't want to re-encode for the GT10.1.
Simple answer though is that the Tegra-2 SoC doesn't support 1080p in hardware for anything other than baseline profile, whereas the Hummingbird SoC in the GT7 supports baseline, main, and high profile (nothing to do with the screen size).

The point is that it is easier to put movies directly on the device instead of converting it to 720

Then this problem can't be fixed by only drivers modification ?

Guess not since all Tegra 2 devices have the same problem with 1080p.

Hi! How do you get your MKVs onto the Tab? My Windows Explorer crashes everytime I try to upload an MKV file onto the Tab 10.1! It's so frustrating!

Reposting my original question, since no one answered (most likely cause it appeared at the very end of page one)....
anyone can help with transferring MKVs to the tab in the first place?
renaming/removing the extension doesn't help!

I guess your windows is broken since I (and other) have no problem transferring any files to my tab. You can try using alternative explorer such as directory opus or xplorer2

Really? So in which area this dual core can perform better than original tab single core? This is much disappointment for me since this is considered high end tablet :-(
