Hi all,
All of this talk about the video performance etc has me wondering.
I've tried encoding videos in the past to play on other devices, but I never have an appropriate time to watch them.
When do people watch these videos?
I guess whilst commuting?
I just never have the time for this, and when I do I'm at home so can watch on the laptop/telly.
Would appreciate some enlightenment !
multimedia
I think most people are looking for an all-in-one phone. I dont think one exists. Im like you and dont watch enough multimedia to matter, but some people do use that a lot. I dont feel like the HD is the one for all phone pda, but for me it does everything just well enough. I do agree if someone wants perfect playback or perfect screen or whatever, then they may not find it on the HD. I too would suggest a laptop to go along with the HD. To me, the HD does, (so far) a good job of everything, maybe not excellent in all areas, but it is approaching that. It all depends on what people want in a pdaphone. Im very happy with it, coming from a Touch Diamond.
I wouldl watch the videos whilst commuting yes.
I happen to travel through my city on average of 2.5 hours a day, sometimes even 3, and it just so happens that it's very boring on the bus and lately i find that with all the shows i'm watching, i just don't have the time to watch them at home, so an HD with smooth video playback would've been perfect for me, but HTC and Qualcomm had to ruin my dreams
Watched "Sunshine" on the train home today, was 98% perfect, avi was higher rez than the HD display and didnt drop a beat even in the mild fight seen...all good

Was it DivX and MP3 audio encoded do you know?
This is encouraging. I have also seen many clips on youtube, of what looked like great quality video playing fine on the HD. I'm hoping that the debates over awful video playback are concerning those who wish for higher quality content than I use on my phone. I ordered mine this evening hope to have it saturday !!
....IB a n e
Yer...twas a divx and i think mp3, played around with coreplayer a bit and now working smooth, will try an action movie and post my settings, tiz good though, really notice the higher rez next to a iphone...can barely see the pixels on the HD gui
Whilst commuting, on lunch/breaks at work/school... I hate the fact I drive now instead of commute to work - but at least I still have my lunch half-hour and two 15 minute breaks!
I don't see what everyone's problem with the HD video playback is though! I watched Wolverine And The X-Men fine!
Well as i know some of people want to show "what can my HD do" so... one of things which You can show off is playing High Quality videos. Im ataching You a link which is a trailer of a coming up movie: Planet Earth 2009, it is converted (by SUPER) from a HD trailer and sometimes its a bit laggy (about 3 times in whole video for around 2 seconds) so You can see what kind of quality im talking about. So if any one have any cool videos to show someone best quality of video which your phone can handle please share.
Omnia HD have that kind of videos just to show people what can it do, so lets dont be worse.... share some Good Quality show off Videos.
When You click the link on the previev is real bad quality,but its way better when You Download it to Your phone

Has any body tried to load a movie on there's yet?
I tried last night and because the file was like 5 gig it wouldn't let me copy to either the phone or the sd card.
Any body else got any input?
The filesystem is limited to 4gb files. I did try two videos, both 720p mkvs, worked flawlessly, if a little fuzzy. I am guessing its the rescaling effect.
Haven't tried 1080p as I don't see the point, but that's just me (1024x600 screen).
Gonna convert some vids to the native res and see how they look.
Yeah - Thats pretty much what I thought just wanted to double check. All my 720 films are over 4 gig
What about yours?
Have you converted and compressed them to make them smaller? If so which programme did you use?
Thanks in advance
720p TV programs are about 1.4GB. Samsung isn't limiting you, the FAT filesystem is limiting you.

Oh yeah - silly me,
Still though its not ideal
I put a couple of tv shows on there (South Park, Walking Dead, Ugly Americans). Max size was like 2.2GB.
I am converting them now to 1024x600 (should be 1024x576, but I figured the ever so slight difference should be ok)
However, I am at work now so I'll have to wait for a bit before I can check.
What programme do you use?
Try MKV2VOB. IT will change the files to AVI if you wish and maintain quality (or compress) as you wish. It also has within settings the ability to break up the files so that they don't exceed 4gbs for FAT32 formatted drives.... (Like what the PS3 needs )

Excellent. gonna give this a try when I get home.
I use mediacoder, works rather well for me, probably also has some setting to break the files up.
I got impatient, so I converted one file, South Park, from 720p mkv to 600p mp4, variable bitrate quality 50, came in at 61mb (lol) and yeah, sftp'd that sucker down, stuck it on and I have to say, looks good.
I am now gonna try something less easy (Walking Dead). It comes in to almost 600mb (from 2.2gb) so lets see how that looks. Will take a bit to d/l though.
Or I could just wait to get home.....but it's not like I have to watch the download take place.

Thanks for your help,
Im gonna do abit of downloading an covering later on to see what gets the best results. I think Samsung should have brought there own converter out specifically for the tab that would have been nice.
Wow south park looks good at 61 mb :O
I think you should upload it and send me a pm with a link so I can test

Test away. (you got PM)
Thanks dude,
The video looks nice and sharp especially at 60mb..
Id say the only thing I noticed was the audio seems abit quiet.

Yeah, the original was ac3. It always is a bit soft to allow for dynamic range. I will make a note to bump up the gain for my future encodes.
Come on kids. The tab has a screen suited for 480p. Anything higher than 600 pixels will simply be bigger than the screen.
When you use the HDMI dock, however, it should play xvid @1080p on your tv.

480 <- 600 -> 720
Either will get scaled (up or down). Also cool how they are both the same distance from each other (120 lines).
Personally, I'd rather have MORE info and scale it down than less and scale it up.
Plus I also said that 1080p is massive overkill. 720p works nicely, though reformatted for 600p is smoother (less ghosting of movement to my eyes).
YMMV
so is AC3 working fine, I dont want to recode all the TV programmes. If it can play mkv 720p AC3 then Im happy. I know up until recently it couldnt do mult-channel audio, wether it be 720p or 1080p
yes, ac3 works fine for me.
there should be an easier solution to watch 720p movies. Is it not possible to simply split the movie in 2 parts? There should be some mkv-split program out there, that does not need to recode, just create new headers...
(so far I am watching tv shows, and those files are 1gb)
Mkvtoolnix will do it in seconds on windows.
I downloaded a 7120p and 1080p trailer and tested and it workd awesome, except for the aspect ration wasent the best. I run tvshows and it works like a charm
Hello,
I was just wondering if it was possible for all youtube videos to play true fullscreen on the evo. Well, something like the iphone video resizing for all youtube videos. Is that possible?
Thanks
Turn your evo sideways in the youtube app.

I know that but some videos don't play totally fullscreen on the evo. The iphone has an option to make any video fit 100 percent to scale. Is there a way for the evo to do that
Oh I know what your talking about. Nope can't do that.

Its lame, but you can get the same result by actually going to view the video within the browser itself.
Just clico on hq and its full screen

Thats because the videos are 4x3, and you are watching them on a 16x9 screen. 16x9 videos will be full screen when you click the HQ button. 4x3 videos wont because that would be stretching the video and make it look awful.

It always astounds me how so many people would rather the video be stretched and distorted than have the black borders on the sides. Eh? To each their own…

lol me too. My best friend runs his PC to his tv and doesn't use the proper resolution so everything ends up stretched. He isn't even aware and doesn't seem to notice that everyone is extra fat, drives me nuts....
FWIW, the Evo's screen is actually 5:3 ratio, so almost any video content will need to be stretched or have some kind of black bars. Apparently the YouTube app doesn't support stretch.

Right? Almost no one in my family watches actual HD tv on our 50" plasma. It's such a waste IMO, and when I ask why they aren't watching the show in HD, they ask what the difference is and say they don't notice that the picture is stretched. Half the time, they say they thought they were watching HDTV. Or they say they don't care.
Seriously. There are 5 people living in my house, and I'm the only one who notices that standard definition looks terrible. WTF?
As for the black bars, some people think they're not seeing the entire frame of the video if their entire screen isn't filled. My dad used to insist on buying full screen versions of movies because he was convinced that the black bars in wide screen movies meant that the picture was being cut off, and he was only seeing half of it. As soon as I found out the real difference, I stopped watching full screen movies completely, but may dad still isn't convinced. Oh, well... What 'cha gonna do?

Its an upgrade form my 1st gen padfone. That was heavy but by the end I was aware of its build quality and it could take knocks and bumps in its stride.
Is the N10 a dainty ballerina that i have to wince every time I put it down? Not that I want to be rough with it but it would be nice to know that it can fall 5cm onto the flat of its back and not crack. (Obviously land on its corner is different etc etc)
Does the N10 do anything special or is it just a standard ,if rather lovely, tablet?
Tried playing 4k vid using MX and VLC player and it couldn't do it with stable frame rate. What's the highest rez vid it can comfortably play?
I'm still trying to find something to wow me with the the pixel density. The padfone1 was only 720p and I was expecting a more jaw dropping experience.

Hi,
For me Nexus 10 is quite resistant, it already fell from ~80cm with 3-4kg of books over him and didn't do any damage, but I guess it was most luck from me. But small falls I guess there's not much problem.
4K is too much. I can easily run a 2K video, though. Via MX player. The heaviest video I ran here was a 1080p video, with FLAC audio, 10 bit profile.
You can try some stuff like the 2K video (search for Timescapes), zooming in a huge resolution picture (I tested with a 3772x5156 picture), setting a huge resolution picture as wallpaper, editing a text (letters look super sharp)... That's all I can say for now hahaha.
