That would be extremely useful over any custom Rom in my opinion.....I'm actually considering returning my EVO based upon those issues alone and i doubt HTC will fix it during the next 15 days or so
nooooooooooooo

Grounding really affecting you at all? The screen works fine on my EVO grounded or not, curious to see some testing on stock and custom roms. audio recording will be improved by someone, whether it be us or htc first idk but it will happen.
Yes I'm having serious issues with my screen and the audio quality when rec hd video sounds like an extremely low bit

mine sounds ok, http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrono/4679553815/in/set-72157624101720673/
The problem with the audio is that it's recorded in 8KHz Narrowband AMR audio codec. Also, the video codec is generic MPEG4 at 6Megabits/sec which is significantly less impressive than H.264 at the same bitrate.
Any ideas why the EVO could not record directly into H.264 video and AAC audio codecs?

I'm betting HTC didn't want to pay royalties to use the H.264 and AAC codecs, as they are both licensed technologies and not open source.
We all know Divx/Xvid is capable with the TouchWiz, but is it the TouchWiz that allows playback or is there an underlying app that will allow Divx/Xvid to play?
Most of us are considering rooting and either loading the International Rom if its better or running some kind of stock rom to rid TouchWiz unless of course its not as laggy as reports have said.
I'm really digging on the idea of being able to play Divx/Xvid.
The T-Mobile Vibrant plays all the same videos the international versions do, no change to the video player at all. I've been watching 720p MKVs and various divx/xvid files on mine without issue!
I think the OP is asking if it plays those files without touchwiz being present or active?
yes you can disable the touchwiz and still have video playback in all formats...
Yeah thats what I was interested in. If we mod would it change the ability to play movies.
Have any if you try the divx video yet? It won't play on my vibrant for some reason. I was able to play 720p mkv,mp4 but not divx.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I didn't even know it had mkv/divx/xvid playback, this makes me happy lol..
I hope it does. All mose all my Vids are Xvids and Divx files. Just ordered mine so I couldnt' even tell.
do you just play the 4gig mkv or do you compress it somehow? I want to put some more videos on but dont know what size to compress them to/what program is best for my vibrant's resolution.

There isn't a file size limit persay, but it seems the Vibrant will reject any videos with resolutions higher than 1280x720. E.M. Total Video Converter HD seems to be best so far in terms of quality and conversion success rates, but if you're looking for freeware, Handbrake works very well. Set the profile to iPhone, and make sure the video resolution is 800x480 or less.

The international rom should be able to play the xvid/mkv video but if you flash on some other Rom (e.g. AOSP Froyo, etc) then it will lose the ability to play them unless someone figure out how to port the ability into the other Rom.
My vibrant wont divx, but play 720mkv perfectly. Yxplayer play divx but very choppy.
Didn't engadget somehow play a 1080p video on the Galaxy S when they compared it with the iphone? or do you mean the divx can;t be more then 720p?
And as for the rom thing...The video should be hardware decoded..so as long as the drivers are portable it would be possible on any galaxy s regardless the rom..or at least that is my guess...

Why the hell would they put specific hardware decoders in the phone for divx support? I would assume they just included the codec support with the stock rom. I seriously doubt that you can throw any rom in there and immediately playback divx video.
I'm not sure what you mean by asking if engadget played a 1080p movie on the galaxy S. Do you mean that they used a 1080p video and the phone auto-scaled it down to 800x480?

I remember reading it has the video decoder built into the Hummingbird GPU..but I don't remember where...let me see if I can find the source.
Edit: never mind the 1080p..I went searching for that article and they modified it since I read it to say they did it via youtube 1080p setting on the app >.>..but they dont even know if it was 1080p or 720p either..sigh

I went searching and found a review that states "Dedicated Graphics Hardware With Divx decoding" as a pro for getting the phone. I think they combined two things here (the Power VR gpu and the software support for divx). I see how it could be read to imply that the divx support is hardware based, but an earlier part of the article indicates that the divx codec support is built into the video player software.
Here's the article: http://pocketnow.com/hardware-1/samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-review
This is really a situation for Occam's razor. Would they go to all the expense of adding hardware divx support to the cpu design or would they just use already existing software solutions that cost almost nothing to implement? The press release from last year revealing the hummingbird doesn't have any mention of it. http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/newsView.do?news_id=1030

They do mention it..the ARM® NEON™ multi-media extension is it
Edit: Hardware video decoding is good because it saves battery life and more efficient over software decode...I'm researching the ARM NEON now..on their site it says it can decode ANY video but is not specific on all formats..only lists MPEG-4, H.264, On2 VP6/7/8, Real, AVS..... but the ... means there are more they are not stating

All I see is it says NEON does "video decoding" and I can't find a single mention of divx in the article or in the NEON link they provide. Every video card or gpu I have owned has had some hardware to decode and encode video but none have natively supported divx.

The article was to show that it does have hardware decode in general...
I can't say for sure about divx/xvid..I don't even have the phone yet to test if it is the case or not...their site does state ANY format
NEON enhances many multimedia user experiences:

That said Divx Decode was part of the ATI hardware decoder..at least in the 4XXX series
As for samsung''s reason to do this...we have to remember that the Hummingbird was meant to be scalable so they can use it for tablets..thus having it natively support the large array of formats is key.
Just got the Vibrant and noticed that it would not play some AVI files (simple TV show low res). had to DL rock player to play those files.Also had an mp4 play in stock video player but would not play the sound and in Rock player tried to play the sound but was garbled.
So not sure what the full support is and wondering if we just need to get a nice media player.
ANY results for ANY of these tests (using the official one or a good third-party player) would be much appreciated! I'm thinking of getting a GS2 but only if it has good MKV support - otherwise it's the O2X that interests me.
UPDATE: From my experience, Android video compatibility has notably improved with players like MX Video Player - try it if you have any doubt! Also a few of my descriptions below neglect to mention finer details e.g. Monster's Inc sample video has 6.1 surround audio that breaks many players. For full details check the link below.
I have put these six tests together, plus one from DesktopMan. All are just short samples (one minute in most cases) and as such qualify for free use under the DMCA.
The aim is to have a test for a player's flexibility and capability when it comes to MKV, which is an irritatingly versatile format. As such, I have tried to make this as comprehensive as possible. However, I am no expert (just a guy with a lot of video to play), and so would appreciate any comments

That's interesting. It seems the software support (especially for audio in MKV) isn't what I expected it to be.
I wonder if it could work if the GPU renders the video, while a software codec included with a player handles these less common audio formats (like DTS and Vorbis for 3 and 4 respectively)?
Maybe when VLC finally rolls along
EDIT: more tests would still be appreciated - especially sample 5
I have added a high profile h264 720p sample to my mirror, would be great if someone tested that as well.

Oh crap I tagged it wrong, you are right. It's very low bitrate though, and since it has vorbis audio it might throw some players off. So they're both good tests
@inteligo: Many thanks for your results! Moboplayer seems to be the most compatible so far.
@DesktopMan: Exactly, and it has a higher bitrate. Maybe I'll add it as a seventh test?

Hmmm judging from these early results, seems like almost everything that we throw at it, can be played. (Almost). Hopefully, our community and Android market should be able to fix whatever the SGS2 thinks that it cant play!

Very true, but I doubt they will ever fix it to work for the 40Mbit/s video. To hazard a guess, I'd say that was a hardware limitation - my PC's graphics card seems to struggle a little with it.
Hopefully the rest will be sorted in due time though
New test results, especially with different players, would be helpful!
The problem with other players is they either use the built in player (can add subs but no new formats), or use software decoding (only play sd).
I am not aware of any player that does container and audio formats in software with the video decoding in hardware, which will be needed for these to play properly, not just on Galaxy S II but on many other phones / tablets.
I have hopes for VLC but it's not out yet.

I wouldn't put it quite that optimistic. Out of the 7 samples only 2 has both video and audio in the stock player, with no subs.
Add a software player and you add 2 more (both of which with pretty low bitrate).

Or to put it another way, we have everything that was tested as working except two videos with abnormally high bitrates, and one that only offers surround sound. Glass 3/7 empty or 4/7 full?
EDIT: To make this clear, I made them varied and difficult tests for a reason - to push it to its limit so far the results are perfectly acceptable.
Other tests would be fantastic!

im rooting for coreplayer
One of my favourite things about the Tab 10.1 is video format support. My #1 use for the device is watching videos during my morning/afternoon commutes. I download some videos the night before, and drop them onto the SD card in the AM. The Tab was able to play all of the formats I threw at it in 720p no problem, in the stock video player.
The first thing I noticed when I turned on my TouchWiz-updated tablet this morning is that none of the videos on it work. They show up as thumbnails in the gallery and video player, but cannot be played. In Moboplayer, the 720p files struggle because it's now relying on software decoding.
Is anyone having different experiences, or have a work around? I really hope this is not an intended change, or I'm probably going to return it. Too bad as I otherwise really like the update!
The update broke 720p high profile support. 720p baseline still works fine and the difference in image quality is negligible imo.
I hope they fix it in the near future, but as it stands now you either take the improved browser in this TW update, or go back to stock 3.1 or one of the older TW leaks and get 720p high profile support.
That sucks! I am assuming it is a bug and they will fix it.
I apologize for the upcoming noobish question as I'm not particularly familiar with codec's, and don't know the different between baseline and high profiles. I'm assuming I can convert one to the other in one step with handbrake? And would the difference in size be substantial?

Yep use handbrake and the baseline profile attached to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
Just queue up your files and walk away. I think the files might end up slightly larger but I'm not 100% sure, either way it isn't a big difference.
I'm also assuming it's a bug as high profile playback was a feature that was added in HC 3.1

Can anyone comment on DivX/AVI support?
I picked up my GT10.1 today, and since it supports DivX out of the box, gave some a try. I was disappointed that the picture broke up and pixelated repeatedly on every AVI I tried. So, I installed Mobo Player and tried it in software mode, but got exactly the same results (which surprised me somewhat).
I also have an Asus Transformer, and those AVIs play flawlessly on the TF using Mobo Player in software mode (since Asus didn't add hardware support for DivX).
I'm wondering if this is related somehow to this issue, since my GT10.1 came with Touchwiz.
Regards,
Dave
720p High Profile H264 is indeed broken. Verified in Mobo Player and System Media Player.
How do I know they are high profile? I made them, and because I only encode in high profile via handbrake.
Bummer because the Tegra2 handles 720p High Profile H264 wonderfully prior to this update.
I have 4 video players loaded because the built in video player couldn't play all of the videos that I have loaded. Ironically I have the exact opposite experience of the OP, it now plays all the formats I have loaded.

This is extremely disappointing news because one of the things I love about the SGT is the quality of its video playback. My friend has a Xoom and he was blown away when I showed him some hi-def videos I downloaded.
I have a lot of high-def videos I downloaded straight from Vimeo, and they play flawlessly on my SGT without any conversions whatsoever. The thought of having to use Handbrake -- or anything else -- to convert every video I own is not very appealing to me. I hope Samsung fixes this problem.

I have mVideoPlayer, which I like the best. I also have ES Video Player which comes with the ES File Explorer. And, I also have VPlayer.
VPlayer will play anything I throw at it. I've never had it not play a video. I only downloaded it because it's required by Remote Potato. Remote Potato lets me play Recorded TV from my Windows Media Center cable card tuner.
To be honest, this is sort of souring the update for me. I'll be testing when I get home to confirm there is no problem playing back lower resolution files. Still, I like to keep a few high-def movies on my Tab and don't want to convert them all. I hope this is a very temporary problem, not something that gets fixed for the 3.2 build.
I don't know if this is related, but when I was trying out the new Kies app on my PC with my tab connected over Wifi, it (Kies on the PC) offered to download new codecs when I first tried to transfer a video over to the Tab. My PC shouldn't have needed new codecs since all the video play on my PC.

I filmed a band on my Note 3 twice,in different venues. I was actually really pleased with the captured sound ,very much so.
The problem is I've noticed,is that the footage is slightly out of sync, the singers lips are not moving in time with his lines for instance.
Is this a common problem? Its a shame as I was pleasantly surprised at the quality otherwise.

I've notived that hardware decoding results in this with .mkv files.
Software decoding has them in sync, but uses about 20x the CPU clocks

Thanks , so what's the answer for me? As it stands my footage is useless, so can I rectify it?

Have you tried MX player? I've been able to play every bitrate on every file type I've tried.

Havent tried a different player as yet, could that help play the clips in sync then do you think? I just use the stock player

For mkv's to run in sync you need to decode with software. the SD800 decoder isnt optimized for mkv's.
MX player is the most popular video player that supports mkv decoding.
You can expect your battery life to drop from 14 hours (with hardware decoding) to around 8 hours (with software decoding)
