Video playback - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I'm using NAND gingerbread version that supports even 720p video.
But when I try to play even 360p video(360mb size) all players just freezes(I used a lot of these). But when I try to play 360p(150mb) it works perfectly.
How to fix this problem?
What's the problem, maybe my microsd card is too slow?

Try different video setting. Raw Frame Buffer works for me in most instance.

Video Problems

I've been using CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4 for a bit now and really like it. Got flash to work but will not play any of my videos either on stock player or media players from the market. The videos are all mp4s converted from handbrake and they all play on my stock Nexus 1. They're saved to my external SD card. Help?
Thanks
Rick
I believe that cm6.1 is not hardware optimized (yet). Tmk, it's a known issue.

Problem with playing video!Anyone else?

So guys,I have tried playing some hd movies on my DHD with no success.Mostly I used 720p,but also tried the native 480p.All the videos were encoded using H.264 mid-high profile with a size of about 1.8-2 gigs.These videos either don't play at all or play with severe lag,both on stock video player and rock player,making them unwatchable.
The strangest thing of all though is that said videos play super smooth on my "old" Desire ( ) and have awesome quality.The Desire doesn't seem to give a **** what I throw at it,it plays everything.What is wrong with the DHD?Does anyone have the same problem?Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
PS:Sorry for my english but it's almost 4 am here and I am really really tired!

i had the same issue, but i figured it out that DHD only plays several formats
such as:
.3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .wmv (Windows Media Video 9), .avi (MP4 ASP and MP3), .xvid (MP4 ASP and MP3)

Not the situation here!I think I even encode them with the same "specs" as the videos taken with the camera.Am I missing something here?

Are you using the same SD Card that you use on the Desire? (Are they the same movie files on the same SD Card?) If not I would recommend formatting the SD Card as a first step.

Same problem here. I tried several players like RockPlayer and VPlayer.
Videos are laggy and the sound is out of sync. Lags occur mostly on 720p MKV and MP4 files. I tried nearly every ROM and kernel out there, everytime the same results: laggy and out of sync.
Is there a fix for it?

on my computer, to play HD files i use QQplayer. so i thought, lets try looking it for android, and i was suprised they also have an android app... and i tried playing an .MKV and it's playing.. smooth on some parts, others aren't.. but i found it to be watchable

Yeah,it's the very same card(put the DHD's 8GB card in the Desire ) with the same file.Maybe it's because I used to have an ext partition which I deleted and then expanded the FAT partition on the space left by the ext one.Cause I also have problems with files becoming corrupt.Will try that,thanks!

[Q] GB2.3.3/2.3.5/2.3.6 HD 720p video problems

With the GSM/UMTS 2.2 Froyo stock ROM I could perfectly watch HD 720p 25Hz and 30Hz H.264 video material, even 1080p footage. The video footage either comes directly from a GoPro HD Hero action cam or from kdenlive (720p, 25Hz H.264 profile, 12000kb/s). As I wrote: no problems on 2.2.
I've upgraded to GB2.3.3 JQ1 as linked in this forum, doing a factory reset and cache wipe on the way. Now I couldn't watch my video footage anymore. The tab stutters and aborts with this video cannot be played (actually, in a different language, so I don't have the exact english words ready).
I've then tried the GB2.3.5 NL version -- again, HD 720p is stuttering, unusable.
Now I've tried the GB2.3.6 JQ8, again, still HD 720p video is unusable. I've reflashed 2.3.3 to try again and then immediately upgrading again to 2.3.6, factory resetting and wiping caches all the times along the way. But to no avail, video playback of HD material does not work.
What did I do wrong? What could I try to get rid of the problem?
Use mxplayer any file will work regardless of android version. Its free as well.

it's simple.. try to download a SD Card booster.. lower the value of your SD Cache to 128kb - 256kb..
and viola.. hope it helps

While I like mxplayer (I've purchased the full version some time ago) it does not help. The problem is that the decoding is too slow, the HW decoder has problems, as well as both SW decoders. Again, the video footage worked well on 2.2 FROYO.

I'm not rooting my Tab at the moment. Also, the cache size is already just 128kb. And then, the problem with playback is both with the internal Flash as well as the external SD card. And finally, my external SD card is sufficiently fast, otherwise my diving camera wouldn't be able to write its H.264 data quick enough. And finally, video playback worked well with 2.2 FROYO, but not with GB ROMs.
Gingerbread has obviously become slow ...
Now did a check with rerendered video footage in H.264 6000kbs: this works. So, the GB 2.3.x stock ROMs are definitely slower when it comes to video rendering compared to 2.2 FROYO ROMs. The FROYO ROMs can handle the 12000kbs video stream, while GB can't.
This is especially sad, as I used to immediately check my diving video footage on my Tab after a dive.
Dunno if it's gonna work..but u could convert ur filesystem to ext4 and also ur memory card( just for the experiment...with linux OS or any windows based utility). Let us know....
Actually, I noticed that 6000kbs footage only works from the internal flash, but not from my external SD card. Considering that that all worked without problems in 2.2, then 2.3.x is a big step back.
Alas, how do I convert the internal filesystem to ext4? I'm running the stock 2.3.6 ROM from the NL at the moment.
install a kernel, like overcome and go into recovery to convert to ext4

NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA No Hardware Acceleration Mx Video

Put the newest build i could find for this guy. Bought him off ebay for a cool 135 free shipping and has turned out to be amazing. Using him with my old Tzones plan running NexusHD2-ICS-4.0.4-CM9-HWA.
Everything runs great except videos. If I am streaming an MP4 its like an 80% chance the file will just be green and blurred like scrambled cable. Sometimes it will play just fine. Even crappy 240p files will be green in both the regular android player and MX Player.
Now I'm trying to see which type of 720p files the phone can play. After a couple of handbrake encodes it will play the 720p in MX Player but it will be frame ratey. The stock player wont even touch the file.
I check the decoding options in MX Video and only software decoding is enabled. Is there an ICS build capable of playing videos with Hardware Decoding.
Your thoughts guys !

Tried with Mobo Player and still the same error.

Install MX Player and install the Armv7 addon for MX Player (it will be in the related apps or something in the play store) and use software decoding. I have also found 720p playback to be atrociously laggy, but I tried Inception at 480p and it plays great.
Installed and it definitely seems to be working with the green videos but 720p seems like a no go...
Is it the rom or is it the phone ?

Hmm, 720p playback is usually listed as a working thing but I don't see how NexusHD2 is in any way inferior to the other ROMs, it definitely has a comparable performance.
