Video buffering sucks for me.
If I do a comparison of the same video from youtube aapp im my Samsung galaxy s and Iconia there is no comparison. Galaxy S is soooooooooo much faster!!! dual core? Where did you go!! I'm waiting for you.
Well in almost everything Sgs performs better than Iconia.
Any thoughts or suggestions?

Come on? Noone else suffering from buffering issues????
It really annoys me...YouTube is practically useless like this.

I've only noticed problems with streaming video from sources like Youtube or some imbedded clip when the clip is a link to the video and Android asks to open youtube or another app to view the stream. Then it does take forever to buffer up or sometimes doesn't start player at all. Is this what you're experiencing?
Otherwise, I'm not having much of a problem with video. I haven't done any really extensive testing though. The youtube site and App seems to work ok for me.

i know this has been discussed but i think that it is freaking ridiculous that we cant play all video types on the so called worlds most powerful smartphone. it should play all formats stock
Okay. So did you have a question like, "Does anybody know of an app that will play ___ video format"? Were optimizing our devices here at XDA, not complaining about them.
I agree....thus I have installed arcMedia 4 my mkv's. Seems pretty good. Plays my 720p copies quite nice.....however...thru wehtop on a 42" with webtop mob the playback is slightly stuttered from time to time....still tolerable to me though.

indeed All formats are supported on the so called most powerful phone
(via third part player)
but whether it will be playing smoothly remains to be discussed
what is the best player? i tried qqplayer,no results
Qqplayer seems to play everything.

I can see it just fine searching for it on the market.
There is another thread talking about how to use handbrake to convert movies to a format that the atrix will play natively.
I followed it and it worked perfectly

Does anyone get choppy video playback on some videos? I have noticed it when streaming some videos from youtube and other websites.
No cant say i have, on the contrary video playback has been excellent
Are you using the stock browser or something else?

What rom are you using? I had this problem but its because the rom set the read ahead speed too large. Use sd booster from market if you're rooted and check what read speed is. It should be 128kb.

I'm using Villain rom 2.1 but I have noticed the problem standard firmware to. It does it on stock browser and tried a few other browsers to.
Read speed is 128kb.
Any particular videos?

wfi, 3g or both? does it get better if you reduce the size to 360p or are you view through the youtube app, if so try viewing though the desktop version to see if there is any difference, like other say it could be your ROM so search on the ROM thread for known issues.
I've seen it happen too on some flash video's site. I think it's all about the same site here . Nasty
videos up til 720p work fine, 1080p doesn't work at all for me

What rom you using ? and is your SGS2 with exynos and not tegra ?
I noticed it on this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIagVxNqQ4c
Watch with the youtube app on HIGH QUALITY its a bit choppy like its struggling to buffer. You notice it more when you skip through a few mins.
I didn't see any other threads relating to this - any else have video playback that pauses every few seconds? Seems to happen to me for just about any online video, youtube, etc.
Same here, no surprise another problem with the phone.
Same problem here. Seems to be more pronounced while the video is being downloaded. Once it is, the playback seems to be smoother.
I think it's an internet issue as downloaded videos play perfectly.

I'll disagree. There's a progress bar on most video/YouTube streams. I pause to let my crappy DVP buffer said videos and even when a video is half-loaded the thing will still stutter along until the download is COMPLETELY finished.
Personally I think it's related to WiFi as downloading over cellular data doesn't always result in the stutter.
My coworkers HD7 doesn't have the same issues while streaming videos over WiFi.
I have the settings to high quality on mobile but for some reason none of the videos I play are crisp. I tried the app the browser tried searching hd videos but everything seems to be pixelated to some extent? Anyone else having the same issues?

I thought i had that issue at first too. But i switched to Wifi and it came in clear. I dont know why, but 3g never gets videos clear for me. I had this issue on the SIII as well.
Videos play on "High Quality" over 3G. When on WiFi and I belive 4G also, video play in "HD". That is why it looks better over WiFi. There is a YouTube app floating around that has a setting that will allow you to watch videos in HD over 3G. However, 3G doesnt tend to have good enough speeds for solid playback in HD.

Could someone please test this for me. Make sure the video is playing in HD and look for every so slight choppy playback in the video. You will need something action packed.
Cheers!
mine is ok it depends on the speed of your connection.

Maybe I see it more then you do? Try using SmartTube from the app store. Plays a lot smoother and 1080p . It also allows you to set the video quality from 240p to 1080p and everything in between. Sorted out all my youtube playback issues.
Haven't encountered any problems.
The linked video also works fine (after waiting for it to load, slow internet connection).
Is it choppy for the entire video?
I.e. do you get this just for some videos, but then it's for the entire video, or does it happen just for part of the video?

Yeah all videos but heres the kicker. Using an app called Smart Tube I have no issues at 1080p playback. Perfectly smooth! Using the stock youtube app is choppy for me.
