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.

Ok ill try that.thx

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?

LOL at mobile phone being faster than computer

Lol i actually have an m15x.the computer im using is an old athlon.ill try on my own i think.

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.

SGS doesn't play 1080p mkv files?

As a test I copied a 1080p mkv file and tried to play with the stock app but couldn't.
Can someone independently verify this?

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.

I'd output them to a TV, I've had mixed results, but perfect 1080p playback on a TV is highly desirable.
i converted a 1080p .mkv file into a .mp4 format on kies and it just convested to 1280x720 but it still runs Amazing good sound perfect picture

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.

Play 1080p Video?

I've tried MX player, rock player and the default video player to playback my 1080p videos but they all still lag and play slowly. All videos are in mp4. Are there any apps out there that would be able to do this?
Cheers
try out dice player, and overclock, if ur tf is rooted, should be able to play smoothly. anyway I believe there are threads ard discussing this, please go do a search for them.

Dice player is the best by far IMO, even gets rid of the home and back buttons illuminating.
It plays mkv files and I have files over 3gb which also play without any problems.

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.
Diceplayer works on most of my DSLR footage 1080 with 40-60datarate

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.

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!

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

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!
I've never been able to upload an MKV succesfully before!
Please help!
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).

Dave

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

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).

really??!....it is too bad news...
i can't play full HD on my tab 10.1
it is in .mp4 format and it just says video can't be played

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!
I've never been able to upload an MKV succesfully before!
Please help!
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!

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 :-(

[Q] Video playback on new Atom hybrids - OK or Tegra 2 syndrome?

As movies/films is one of the main tasks this device will have in my possession I want to make sure I will not run into disappointment owners of first Tegra 2 tablets run into.
So... Atom + this SGX... mkv 720p - OK?
How about BR rips in 1080p?
I got some clips (Full HD) from may handycam in m2ts format - will they work?
It's been a week or two since I tried. I remember being pretty disappointed with 1080p and some 720p videos. I'll load a few videos with VLC, Zoom, and KMPlayer and see how well it plays.
Off hand what I remember is mostly disappointment with 1080p videos, those that played, seemed to be dropping frames and have a slight jittery feel to them. Other higher bit rate videos would pixelate during some scenes.
I have some 720p MKV Anime subs and I think the mostly played okay, but might have had some minor frame dropping. I'll have to check them out again, my memory is a little faded now. I was disappointed, but it's not Tegra 2 bad, but not Tegra 3 good either.
I have a samsung ativ with atom.1080p mkv even at 40mps play very good. All you need is enabling dxva with mpc and haali media splitter or lava filters. Then the cpu will not go above 30-40%

Just saw new video and audio drivers today for the 500T. Just installed those, so really curious now if there is going to be some improvement when I test tonight.
Ugh, new video drivers didn't help. In fact it has gotten worse, not much. But in the high bit rate 1080p video I had tested before, I'm seeing it freeze up (it didn't do that before) and pixelate in more scenes. And the 720p MKV videos, the audio is slightly out of sync.
I think it's a mix between drivers and hardware. I dunno of the SGX545 is up to the task of doing 1080p or 720p MKVs smoothly.
If you guys remember video files used as test for Tegra 2 devices we were talking about I am just uploading them to my Dropbox.
Once they are that I will share the link so you can test your Atom W8 devices and report back.
OK?
Not to mention quite different opinion between you guys (gaetanolip & Ravynmagi)

Mine is not an opinion. In oorder to play 1080p level 4.1 at 40 mbs you have to enable hardware acceleration. I just did explain how , if you guys are not capable to do so please do not complain how new atom is not enough to play 1080p (h264)videos because new atom fully CAN.
This is the proof ( older atom but same gpu even at lower mhz than my ativ ). I followed the guide ( even if I used newer lav splitters instead of haali media splitters )

Test video http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/
I can easily play birds 40 mbs , very high bitrate

I do not have device just yet
I want to make sure it will play most or all popular video formats.
I will give you Dropbox link as soon as I get home

And let us know how is it handling them...
mate, GPU hardware acceleration will play it, ive had some insanely high bit rate videos playing on much older hardware, but as has already been mentioned you need to have a player that supports DXVA 1/2. MPC-HC will do it just fine, personally I use shark007 codecs that gets WMP doing the same thing (I prefer that because it allows me to use WMC to play videos as well)
On my old PC with Windows 8 but higher power than Atom I got k-lite pack of codecs and I am using WMP.
Does it mean that for W8 I should be using different (better?) codec pack like those Shark007 you mentioned?
Perhaps I would put less strain on my current HW?
Did I get it right?
look at it this way, if you try play a high bit rate HD video and your CPU usage is a sustained 80-100% then your not using hardware acceleration. Its been a while since I used k-lite as from my experience in the past it was full of crap you simply didn't need, Shark007 is about as lean and efficient as you can get. if you use MPC-HC you should see DVXA at the bottom left corner of the screen when in window mode.
if you are using hardware acceleration then id expect CPU usage to be around 5-20%
back in the day a 3Ghz P4 wasn't able to play high bit rate HD content by its self without dropping frames, THAT is what GPU hardware acceleration can bring
if you are going to use Shark make sure you delete ALL codecs you've installed before attempting to install it, most codec issues are conflicts

What do you guys use to playback 4k or even mp4 for that matter

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.
