Hi, does anyone know which ROM is currently best for video playback?. I am currently using davi-duck v5 rom with TCMP onboard which also has the ac3 playback plugin but as this is an early version of COREPLAYER the playback is fairly poor for all my dvd rips. COREPLAYER playback is better but doesnt support the AC3 codec, I wonder if someone can port the AC3 plugin for TCMP to COREPLAYER as it doesnt look like they are going to.
I also wonder what playback will be like when we get android working on the HD, coreplayer are due to release a working model for android soon, or will the G1 have the same driver issues as the HD (being the same HTC hardware)
[email protected] i purchased Coreplayer and it is great for re-encoded video, however is i plan to do that i may as well reencode for winmo player as it has hardware acc?
WMP, MP4, hardware acceleration= near perfection!
Your thread is unclear and probably not appropriate for ROM Development section.
mp4
Like most people i do not want to re-encode all my vidoes to mp4 if we can get decent performance another way.
I understand your frustration
Yeah right!
Yeah i bought my Coreplayer on the Mininova website
Very bad

If people like you don't like to purchase a relatively cheap piece of software and insist on warez then how on earth will they ever want to or have the resource to develop it properly and include make all the correct optimisations.
This is the wrong forum for comments like that - if a MOD sees it your lucky if you dont get banned.
Go buy a licence it is dirt cheap the people at CoreCodec deserve it!
Yesturday I downloaded from Market YXFlash app, which is a kind of codec for XVid and a few more video formats. My question - if mobilesoft done it, I mean comiped xvid codec for arm on Android, can you - Android hackers do the same and publish here? I would like to say, that YXFlash works fine on my N1.
That would be amazing! Someone has gotta know how
Unfortunatelly I do not know C-family languages at all, so I can not do it my self... I was very sorry of xvid codecs lack in G1, but I understanded that is result of G1 processor limit (MSM7201A), which doesn't support this codec. According to QSD8250 specyfication - it should be possible to do it - to create codec (for coding and encoding) in other formats then h.264.

my TPRO can play divx with coreplayer and tcpmp with msm7201A so its not do with the processor.

Yes, you are right, because I read that mentioned app works also on G1. I think, that thanks Snapdragon support divix/xvid playback should be smoother and faster and not so processor-power consuming (read battery-saving).
This is a pointless discussion.
The codec (enCOder-DECoder) is HARDWARE -- built into the same package as the CPU.
XVid is more properly known as H.263, which is FULLY SUPPORTED by the hardware codec, not only for GN1, but also for OTHER android phones all the way back to and including DREAM.
There are two things *definitely* standing in the way of just playing back an "xvid" video file: 1) Demuxer applicable to the container that the video is contained in, i.e. ogm, avi, mkv, etc., 2) FOURCC -- when using the xvid h.263 encoder, the fourcc will be (incorrectly) set to "XVID" when it *should* be set to "H263". Regardless of this, the chip doesn't care what the FOURCC is, just the media player (which needs to know the stream details in order to set up the decoder chip).
There can be other issues involved in playing back the file... bitrate/resolution exceeding codec limits, audio encoding incompatible, etc.
On a side note the excellent core player should be coming out on android soon enough,they seem to be in testing stages now.
I would be shocked if coreplayer was out for android this year. The s60v5 version has been "in the works" for over a year now I think, and porting from s60v3 should be cake. Coreplayer 2.0 is the DNF of mobile apps

Is there track record that bad ?
They didnt do the iphone because they were shutdown by Apple.
They keep posting progress including screenshots for Android.

They already got sound and UI done, hinted that progress was going better than expected. As for YXFlash... it sucks for certain videos and after 2 minutes, BOOM! tough actin tinactin!

Released more than 3 months ago.
So... What's the hold up?
Yes i was wondering that too!!!
I mean when i copy an .avi movie to my phone, the only player that manages to play the file is the yxflash with awful perfomance...so what in the heck ?
There is 1GHz cpu behind this device!
Coreplayer for android is still in the works so we all just have to wait on that.
yxflash plays xvid without any problem in my nexus one

From everything I've read and heard, your experiences are definitely in the very very small minority, as you can see clearly even from this very thread, just two posts above

When you compile crap it is still crap. Even if you run it on a Snapdragon.
CorePlayer was very good on WinMo, so let's hope they bring it to Android soon.
Coreplayer FTW!
My understanding of the "no Divx" issue, has more to do with Android OS not supporting the codec.
The reason why Coreplayer isnt out yet is exactly this reason. Once theres a codec supporting HW accelleration, then Coreplayer will be released.

Yup, and if you go to coreplayers website, they have a blog/forum discussing this... in it, they point out that they have been working very closely with Google on improving the NDK and SDK so that it has native support. Following 2.0/1 being released, they announced it had the graphics and framework, and that they were hoping the next version would/will have the codecs... it also seems it is possible the NDK just needs to be updated, not even the entire OS itself, although that might be a bit dirty for such a huge increase in codec support.

android 1.5 wasnt capable of it due to a crappy SDK.
2.1 with the new developers tools should get the job done, but who knows

VLC needs codecs too. Its developers just decided to include the codecs with the app instead of relying on the OS's codecs.
That is exactly what the CoreCodecs team is doing btw.
Very easy workaround
This a very quick and easy workaround to divx and xvid.
Download avidemux from here http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/download.html
Then re-code the file, but here's the secret - keep the video as it is "Copy". Change the audio to aac, and re-save it in an mpeg4 containter (m4v). The whole process take about 3 minutes for a full-length 800MB movie. The resulting file can be played smooth as silk in the stock player.

Tried this just now (previously tried with other tools in Jan). Was hoping....but it didnt work
src: XviD(BVOP/Packed Bitstream)/mp3, AVI
dest: (copy)/AAC(FAAC), MP4
The new file plays fine on my PC but only the audio plays on the n1(default movie player and act1 player)

That's too bad.
But then again, even if it does work, the whole point is that it would be nice to play our videos WITHOUT having to re-encode like Spica-owners can do.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/17/samsung-galaxy-spica-grows-up-to-android-2-1/
The Spica is now 2.1.
What in the HELL is the hold up?? DivX should have been ported to ANY other Android device ages ago
In addition to changing the container, you also have to change the FOURCC. That is just a 4-character code identifying the video encoding. Your phone won't recognize any stupid crap like DIVX or XVID -- it will only recognize the CORRECT fourcc, which is H263
The hold up is that codecs are part of the framework, and almost all Android video players just use the frameworks video playback facilities. To add DIVX playback you'd need a rooted device.
Additionally, I'll bet the Spica's divx playback is limited to a max resolution/bitrate like Android's h264 support.

I think a lot of people who would want this have root already or (would be willing to) anyway. Plus, there are already plenty of apps on the Market that are root-only.
Will nexus s have Divx support is know you can use rock player and stuff but I think on the galaxy s line phones All run 720p Divx formats far better than rock player.... what do you guys think?
Sent from my SGH-T849 using XDA App
I hope so but I doubt it. Nexus One can't do it.
i really hope sou. That is my main selling point. Galaxy s could perfectly play mkv. and divx. in 720p, even with a subtitles. If nexus s cant i would be very disappointed
i dout that will be installed, maybe try to extract that that from Galaxy s?
Will probably need the whole touchwiz framework along with the corresponding apps (video player, divx etc) for it to work. Haven't tried CM 6.1 Beta 3 for my i9000, but from what I've heard, it doesn't work on there.
I don't see why it wouldnt. The other 9000 galaxy s variants all play it. Why wouldn't this one?

Because its pure Google and previous android dont have the proper vid and audio codecs.
But im confused on how codecs work on this phones because I think the galaxy s line are all hard coded were other none supported devices use crappy software acceleration
I'm really hoping its supports all the great codecs the galaxy S line did but im not getting my hopes up. If not this is going to be my first request from developers ill make a hefty donation to get this avi, xvid .mkv and ac3 working again
those codecs were built into the system of the Galaxy S phones.
The Nexus S will not have any of them so we'll be forced to use other apps.
However, with any luck some good developer may be able to hack them out of touchwiz and add them into a custom stock rom, i wouldn't hold my breath though.
Basically your gonna be using rockplayer, or convert your movies to something othe than divx.
Use RockPlayer or VPlayer! Both are good apps, the latter one is free.

yeah, but with does two apps everything with a little higher quality is more like a slideshow instead of movie. Only thing they can play are low quality divx. Well, we still have converting but then again whats the purpose of that. We are all trying to avoid converting because its boring and takes time. Comon google, bring some codec support
Yea i used rockplayer back with my N1 garbage only software rendered
better off using handbrake and re-encode to mp4 and use android default player
Galaxy s is hardware rendered and run and look fantastic on SAMOLED esp when running 1280x720 HD avi, mkv files
I can look past everything else taken away but IDK i really like my video support on my vibrant
=
That's like the one thing Samsung did right with the software, was include a very good media player.
Can anyone, from those who got one today, confirm if it has DivX or not
I have a Nexus S and I can confirm it has no divx support. I can also confirm that vplayer beta is not supported on the Nexus S and will force close when attempting to open a video file.
Is Rockplayer the only option?
no divx but can it play mkv ?
How does Rockplayer work with HD videos that are not 720P?

Rockplayer force closes as well with divx.
Rockplayer, vPlayer and all other DIVX players i tested from market are force closing as soon as you try to play a movie file.
Anyone has found a solution to play all the media files(mkv, divx) on the Nexus S? RockPlayer & VPlayer both don't work. I think they need to update the app for 2.3..

Hi guys, im having problems playing HD videos on my device. I tried using a variety of players known to support wide range of codecs but none seemed to work. I tried players like rockplayer, advanced Vplayer, mobo player and all of them that i can get my hands on ,none seem to work. The problem is that these players play the videos but there seems to be no sync between audio and video. The audio plays fine but the video lags behind. Anyone who has found a solution to this? pls help me.. im heavily disappointed on the audio and video playback front on this phone. I also would like to know if switching or updating to gingerbread with the roms available here would solve the issue??...pls help..Thanks in advance.
This is an already addressed problem in this forum . You must be talking about mkv 720p files .
There is a definite lag in stock ROM's ... rex4u has tweaked his phone so his dont lag.. but for the rest of us ... we're in the same boat...
The thing is there are'nt proper driver support for mkv 720p files for our phone even though our hardware can support it... so hoping and waiting for samsung to do something about it!
This has been discussed before here...

Thanks for the info bro... And can u also tell me how the audio is?... Its not upto the standRds if u ask me.. The headphones doesnt have that wow kinda effect...or is it that I need a better player or something? I use poweramp but cant tweak the equaliser it gets distorted wen I tweak..any suggestion?.. Thanx in advance...
