Video playback on Xoom - Xoom General

I know that most videos cant play when thrown on xoom and must be converted and what not
but i wanted to ask has anyone tried playing untouched vids (mkv, avi) etc..
on Rockplayer or QQplayer (from market) does it work? (even 720p ones)
EDIT: Ima answer my own question here using an atrix 4g (same processor)
and its no (atleast for true 720p video, around 4 mbps bitrate), it stutters
the players arent optimized yet.
HOWEVER, converting in baseline profile for the xoom/atrix, you can do ANYTHING! (using badaboom)
even a 10mbps, 1920x1080p video, plays flawlesslY! what a beast (vid is below if you wanna test)

720P MKV on GS?

Has anybody tried to test it yet?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=700644
i tried play smoothly but no audio output
i got audio on my 720p clips.. and they look awesome by the way
-TB-
It depends on audio coding, from what i tested, about everything is supported except for OGG.
80% of my media collection works flawlessly on the SGS, videos look awesome.
Still haven't met a 720p file I've downloaded that didn't play flawlessly

Curiously every episode of a tv show by ctu displays no video, just sound. Everything else plays just fine. Anyone else noticed that?

Hi. I also used other players. Some, like rockplayer play the ctu videos but with such a low framerate as to be unwatchable. Maybe it's a codecs problem? Has anyone found a video player capable of playing everything?
Flawless on mine too

Mine plays 720 MKV file withaudio only and Rockplayer plays file with video but some smearing and audio out of sync.
The Samsung sample files that are avi 720 not MKV play really good.

Have you tried ctu tv shows?
Ctu releases are definately not working. But Dimension releases do.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Some will be DD, MP3, AAC, etc, it'll all depend on the codec, check it with TSMuxeR, it'll tell you what format it's in.
Also, my MKVs have all played fine, v good quality, audio is fantastic too. Even though the screen isn't a 720 screen, thus kinda pointless, it looks great. Damn sight easier than re-encoding them for the correct resolution at least

Gotta disagree on the "pointless" comment. You point out a major plus, re-encoding. Other purpose, video-output, I want to be able to serve my 720P content to computers and TVs, I would suffer a worse resolution or have to keep two files for each movie/video I *might* want to serve. 720P playback is a near God-send (IMHO).
The problem is with videos like ctu releases with 448 kbps audio. I've already sent an email to samsung to report the problem.

The thing it's that this ctu videos worked flawless on Samsung Wave.I hope this will be fixed in future firmwares.

[Q] Camera video recording only in 3gp?

We have a lot of size options when recording but I only see option to record in 3gp format? Or am I missing something?
Edit: Plus the PDF from T-Mobile does not have an HD option listed on there...
Hey I up this one,
i'm also wondering if it is possible to record in some other format than 3gp, like they can on the DHD for instance.
Reading 3gp is a pain, i can't plug my phone to my TV to watch a video I recorded, and it's hardly watchable on a random computer without installing an other player.
Nope, that's the only format that the camera is capable of recording to on official ROMs. Not sure about custom ROMs though. I wish I could record in WMV, AVI or MP4.

Virtuous unity is mp4 720p max.
Apparently virtuous doubleshot is mp4 1080p for the Z. No lag if you OC @ 1.7-2.0 ghz!
Eww that much OC is not necessary for me, neither I need to record 1080p.
But that's a good news !
I will switch to Unity then thanks !

Be careful here, apparently, of what a member told me, its a 1080p upscaling method. The hardware is the limitation.
Yup, it is a hardware limitation. The sensor just can't record 1080p.

It's ok, I'm currently using Virtuous Unity, and it records in 720P .mp4.
The mp4 part was the most important for me, as I can now plug and watch on my tv.

I just realized that the ROM I'm running on, meXdroidRom actually records in MP4! In the m4v container~

[Q] Best Method to Get Video

Looking for opinions on the best way to get videos (tv shows/movies) on the SGT.
Primarily looking for non-streaming options to view on a flight.
.mp4 works best with the built in media player and will play full hd, i used handbrake to convert some apple trailers to 1024 width and the necessary height pixels with auto aspect correction. They play perfectly. I encoded at 2500kbps. The built in player is really good. Doesn't support 5.1 though. For avi and mkv, rockplayer is the best. Won't play hd though but hopefully the dev is working on it.

Default player is great. But if you want to play everything else then use vplayer.
Sent from my T-Mobile Tab
for $10 bucks catalyst is great for dvds you own to convert them into all kinds of formats it has a SGT preset makes it super EZ.
Or handbrake can do it for free if you have vlc

Rockplayer is free and plays about everything including flv.

HD videos on atrix

oK is it just me or we all have the same problem, downloaded HD videos from youtube and it wont play. Anyone??
??? anyone?
Try a different video player. If that doesnt work then there may bot be the correct codec available
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium App
Try Mobo Player. Also, Atrix hasn't had 1080p update from Moto, so if your videos are 1080p they likely won't play if I am thinking correctly.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app
I believe your attempting to play baseline or highline x264. Unfortunately our nvidea chip will not run that. But, I'm not sure if it is a problem that can be fixed through software. Anyone?

i have done some research on this matter, yes the tegra chip won't play any high profile x264 HD movie (either 720p or 1080p). you have to convert it to main profile x264 and it will play fine.
u can try "handbrake" to convert it and our beloved Atrix will play. you can make a google search to see the tutorial for converting using "handbrake"

Yeah man, very desappointing news... Althought I still have hope that we will be able to do that. After all, we have "Atrix - The world's most powerful phone"
Try using arc media player, out is available on that market for free. Let me know if out works for you

I have not come across a video, hd or otherwise, that I could not play on my Atrix. If one player doesn't work, I go to another one.
The best player for atrix is moboplayer with codec pack.
I can play most of my movies without problems in HD but I have great news for HD mkv viewer.
Power DVD are developing a application which can play HD mkv movies and more.
I read it on androidpit.de

So I tried mob with all it's codecs avail on the market, also tried arc both of them are lagging as if im playing HD video on some low end cheap phone. Man o man what a disappoinent e'h. So much hype for the qhd but really its crap.
Try it for ur self I downloaded and tried to play transforms 3 trailer and metallicas nothing else matters hd. And they both played like crap. Dunno about you fellas but I never expected these results from my attic they are calling this the most powerful phone.

So,
just watched the difference between my HTC Sensation and this tab, the Sensation plays almost every video, (well actually just every) way better then this tab.
Any recommendations (mods, kernels etc. )
Still have to wait for my replacement (pixel topic.. ) so i want to test any improvements before i'll flash the new one
Use MX Video Player.
