Hi,
Did anyone here managed to play HD videos of 1080p or 720p format? I only managed to play 360p on my phone.
Not possible..Im mean they will play in Rockplayer 1.5.5 ARm6...but will lag sufficiently and not allow you to enjoy movie smoothly...
I think about 620 p should be fine in Rockplayer..or yxplayer...not above that..you will have to resize them...
Even 720p is quite laggy with rock player. Processor is just not fast enough
Why would you want to when the screen doesn't have the resolution to show any difference?

@bullchicken: it's just that my friends had gave me lots of 1080p HD MVs but I couldn't played it. He is able to play all HD videos in his Samsung Galaxy though. Maybe you're right due to legend processor limitation but i'm wondering if there is any customized/tweaked ROM which able to support it.
Hello,
In version 3.1:
Is the video problem fixed?
Can I play videos in full hd?
Do mkv files work fine?
Have a good day!

I dont think the Tegra 2 can handle high quality 1080p files so no .....
If you check around there are plenty of threads detailing what will or wont play
As advertised by asus:
"NVIDIA® Tegra™ 2 1.0GHz dual-core CPU for excellent multitasking & 1080p video playback
Android 3.0 Honeycomb O.S. with Adobe® Flash® 10.2 support*2
Full QWERTY keyboard, touchpad input with Polaris® Office® for mobile productivity
16 hours*1 long battery life for all day computing with docking station
Brilliant IPS panel with ultra-wide 178⁰ viewing angle made from scratch resistant and super tough glass
One year of Unlimited ASUS WebStorage, two USB ports, SD and Micro SD card readers for easy sharing & storage expendability
3D stereo with max bass response with SRS premium sound"
So, 1080p playback is supported.
On every tablet (Tegra 2) forum there are thousands threads about this.
HD playback (specifically mkv h.264) problem is not an Android issue but Tegra 2.
Although advertised as above it has its playback limitations.
1080p only if it is BASE PROFILE
720p only if it is MAIN Profile or below.
99.9% of videos available to download are 720p. HIGH Profile and this is not decoded with hardware acceleration.
SOLUTION:
1. Reencode your videos to tegra 2 friendly format: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102922
2. Wait and buy next gen tab with Tegra 3 inside (or equal)
3. Wait for Android 3.2 or ICS - they will have support for SOC's different than Tegra 2 (like Qualcomm). Hopefully this SOC platform will not have playback limitations of Tegra 2.
Does the native player of Xoom also plays 1080p video files
ie. mp4, avi, wmv, etc.
If not, does other players like vplayer, mobo could make this possible?
I doubt as Motorola Web and Wikipedia say the Xoom can play
"Up to 720p video" but sure it's not quite enough as long as HDMI it to a 32" TV.
Therefore is it possible for Xoom playing 1080p video smoothly?
Thank You. And I'm from Hong Kong (although there's nothing to do with the question )
it can play 1080p but video stutter.

true. 1080p will trouble as much to bill clinton.
you can convert a 1080p mkv to mp4 format and it will play with no issues. or converting, i suggest DVDCatalyst.
See, the Galaxy Tab 10.1 states 1080p video playback
I wonder is there any meaning the video playback ability of GT10.1
has overpower to Xoom?
BTW I personally hate converting.
My ideal Tab is a replacement for netbook,
which with proper software and codec
almost nothing it won't play.
So if there's something tablet is incapable of
please let me know.
Thanks for all your replies, they really make a difference.
All the tegra 2 tablets are similar software wise.
The 10.1 won't play videos any better than the xoom. Return your android tablet if you expect it to replace windows.
I've surveyed many of the players on the Android market yesterday,
and most won't play a 720p x264 Mkv with ac3.
Best is qqplayer. Next best is vplayer, but really it can't either,
So only qqplayer. If anyone knows better, please speak up.
Otherwise, use plex it is the best transcoding streaming player around..

Galaxy Tab 10.1 can play 1080 video formats?
Sent from my GT-I9000B
Using Moboplayer (from market) with Tiamat 2.2, 1080p video will just about play, but its not ideal.
720p is fine.
I only play file resolutions up to 720p on the Xoom because of the native resolution. I use Mobo player for my .avi and DVD Catalyst converted .mp4 files but if I am in a rush and have a high bit rate 720p .mkv file, the Dice player plays everything I throw at it. I have monitored my usage of both and I really mainly use Mobo. Dice comes in handy when I just don't want to wait for a conversion because I am heading out on short notice and is the only player I have found to play high bit rate 720p .mkv x.264 files. I prefer converting because I can give the video files a color boost in DVD Catalyst since videos seem to lose their punch on the Xoom screen.
Dice player plays 720p no prob

I've had good results with BSPlayer.
One thing is beyond my understanding.
My past Samsung infuse with 1.2ghz single core processor was able to play 1080p itunes trailers but xoom tablet struggles.
Also Xoom has native support for .mp4 files and .mov/.mkv/.avi requires extra treatment whether extra player or software decoding.
.........................
on a general note (covers most mobiles and tablets and/or android os)
why companies release crippled products to market?
The end user is left to work out what is working and what is not.
Xoom is upper range product and it is not acceptable that it can't play 1080p files smoothly.

The Xoom does play 1080p but how well depends on the codec and player. As for why you would want to play 1080p videos on a 720p screen, I just can't comprehend. It will not look better because the screen resolution is lower than 1080p. If you played 1080p on any screen lower than 1920x1080 pixels you will not be getting the benefit of the 1080p resolution.

If you must keep the resolution at 1080p then the best thing for stutter free playback is at least convert into an .mp4 which DVD Catalyst does but again, there will not be noticeable quality increase over a 720p. If I had a 1080p .mkv that I wanted to play on the Xoom, that would be one of the times when I would prefer convert or downsize but for everything else including 720p .mkv, we no longer need to convert.

From my perspective you are badly missing the point - what use is a tablet that can play videos if you have to carry around a pc to convert them first. Its a pain in the butt.

I use Dice Player to play all my video. It is easily the best HD movie player out there and plays high profile 720p but I haven't tried 1080p. As I don't have a 1080p TV, there's no need. Check out the Dice Player trial.

Thats just the thing though, we need to be realistic. You don't have to convert any videos other than high bit rate 1080p which even if you were only using a desktop PC you would need to meet a system requirement to play. Tablets like these are new. Could you imagine a few years ago having a 1Ghz laptop with 1GB of RAM and being pissed it wont play my 1080p movie in 3D? The Xoom is one of the first of it's kind and was never designed to play high bit rate 1080p and you find that a bother. It's like buying an Ipod 8 yrs ago then saying what good is this if all my CD's wont play on it. You had to rip & convert everything or buy the file which was still then converted. The screen is 720p. Most shows on T.V. are 720p or upscaled 720p (1080i). Where are you getting 1080p videos from, Blu Ray and digital copies which all need to be 'converted' in order to become a portable file on any system unless you have a disc player or made a 20GB image rip. Its not a pain in the butt to have to only convert one file type. My laptop is very powerful but cant play movies in 3D yet my T.V. can, should I be upset? I should add, Dice player is still the way to go to play all files with no conversion unless you want to play high bit rate 1080p on a screen not designed for it.
I'm very interested to know how the N9000 and N9005 perform playing heavy settings encoded 1080p videos. And i'm interested to see if the snap800 will be better at it than the exynos model since it can record/play 4k.
Such as this 1080p sample. Even both the note2/galaxy s4, that i tried, can't play this smoothly. Will the note3 snap800 be able to and the note3 exynos won't for example?
I would love to have real live info from that video clip as opposed to synthetic benchmarks, can anybody download it to both note3 models and test the 1080p sample and try with a good video player such as mx player or something and see if it plays smoothly?
And just for extra curiosity, can anybody download to the s800 at least and try to play this 4k sample?

it does not play using default video player. used MX player to play the video. it played well.
Awesome, tks, finally a phone that can play that video clip, i take it you only tried the 1080p sampe? Anyway xD looks like it's time for me to get a new phone!
Hope to hear from the N9000 too ^^
It ran fine on my Galaxy Note 2.
Ran fine on my Note 3 (SM-N9005)
I tried it in MX player and it's 16 seconds (is this right?)
It seems slow, is it supposed to be slow motiony?
Edit -
4k video jitters in mx player..

I tried it when the note2 came out on a friends unit, and it wasn't smooth, maybe with the latest roms the video playback got improved?
But i also tried on a S4 when it came out and it didn't play smothly also, it had missing frames, so i didn't buy either phone, but i didn't try with updated or custom roms, maybe that's why.

ye, close to 17 sec.
I don't know if the video is in slow motion, but i guess it does kinda looks a little bit like that. The thing is that video is 108Mbps so if the note3 didn't play it smootly you could easily see it jitter/skip frames (as in my note1 ) probly the same thing that you see on the 4k video which is really high bitrate also.
Now i wonder how the N9000 copes at playing the 1080p and 4k clips, probly the same results no?
Bloody hell, 424MB for 17 seconds?! Remind me never to download an entire 4K Bluray...
Yes, the video is in semi-slow motion: It's a Time Lapse.
(I'm not entirely sure the 4K video is meant to run smoothly to begin with. It does the exact same freezing at the exact same point in the exact same manner every time. I'd take it apart in Premiere, but Adobe just took a look at the filesize and gave up.
Even my laptop, which is a 3.2Ghz i7 with 8GB RAM and a 4GB VRAM GT 740M, has trouble running it. (And by trouble I mean, "does this even count as frames per second anymore?") It can run TimeScapes 4K (the first ever official 4K Timelapse film @4096 x 2304) smoothly without issue...)
hehe ye, that 4k clip is just an abuse lol at 243Mbps it's a real task even for a normal pc, i just threw it there out of curiosity, normal 4k videos with lower bitrate will probly play fine (i hope...).
What i was really interested was the 1080p sample cause that clip is also very high bitrate for a 1080p, looks like the note3 can play it which means i can finally buy a mobile that play many of my high profile videos with 16 ref. frames and 10bit and etc, not even my standalone media player could play that one. Like that can use the mobile as a high end mediaplayer when out at friends house
have a couple more questions ^^:
1 - Now on the note1 when i used the mhl cable on tv i noticed that there was a bit of slow down compared to just playing it on the phone, also the battery discharged like crazy, i wonder if this will be the case on the note3 also?
2 - And, with this new usb3 and mhl2 combo, can we conect a usb otg cable to use an external drive and mhl at the same time? or it's still a no no? Either with a hub or Y-cable or any other method...

Unsure about your questions but:
Of course note 3 can play "some" 4k because it records 4k and so plays them back in gallery
Also, how do you acquire your high end vids?
I did notice mx player has an option for hardware decoding 10bit ....
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
lol poor thing if it couldn't playback it's own recordings hehe
I'm really not concerned about 4k cause i won't get any 4k media for years i'm sure (as i think maybe the majority of ppl) but curious since the 4k is part of the s800 package... but i bet that even standard 4k bitrates with some encoding gimmicks (which are not hardware supported, since the default video player can't even play this ducks 1080p sample) will be too much for the note3...
Ye, mx player and others can play 10bit, but playing them smooth and artifact free is something that my galaxy note1 and home mediaplayer can't do :/ Such as many of the 10bit anime and high 16 ref frames profiles released nowadays.
Still missing a N9000 test tho
Hope is last thing to die so will wait if somebody can give some positive insight on those mhl and otg things, but i doubt it will happen, don't think it's something that would be on samsung's list of things to do.
the internal memory on these phones or normal desktop computers aren't fast enough to play 240mbps videos unless you have ssd etc... so it is not the chipset's fault but the internal memory's
Is there any way to play 4k videos on Nexus 7? I had tried with different players (like MX Pro, XBMC etc.) but none of them worked. Some played only audio, some didn't read a file.

The Nexus 7 hardware does not support 4k playback
So what is the maximum resolution of video that Nexus will play? I have tried 2560x1440 but it still doesn't work. Is it "only" 1080p?
What's the point of playing a higher resolution? The nexus 7 is 720p, not 1080p. I'm sure it can play higher resolution videos, but you can't get a higher output than 720p.

Well i dose not support 4k
I just tested it with my note 3 4k recording
and all i got was a black screen but i got the sound from it
4K is too highe for nexus 7, compress your 4k videos in advance
Well... recording 4k-Video will be impossible because 4k is more than 8MP and the Cmaera-Module of the Nexus 7 has just 5 Megapixels!
But playing 4k-Video... - ?
I think the processing power is strong enough for 1440p but maybe it's to weak for 2160p!
