Ok so I have .mkv's that I have ripped from physical Blu-Rays. I have converted them to h.264 mp4's using ripbot264. The settings I have are AVC high profile 4.0 progressive, 2-pass encoding, 4000kbps video @ 720p, & 2-channel audio AAC @128kbps.
With these settings, one would think that the Nexus 10 would have no problem at all playing the video back smoothly via the stock video app. Unfortunately this is not true, the video playback is constantly choppy and I am trying to figure out what the problem is.
Don't use the stock app lol. Try MX Player or BS Player.

I am having a lag problem playing some HD videos on my Xperia with Jack's 3.4 Med rom using Coreplayer 1.3.
Videos I tried:
Transformers 2 HD Trailer (852x355, 2643kbps, 23fps)
The Prodigy-Omen (1000x432, 2663 kbps, 25fps) (800x480, 1200kbps, 25fps)
The highest quality sample at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3045216&postcount=2
Plays all the regular videos/movies fine (Prodigy-Omen at 400x240, 644kbps, 23fps)
I tried directdraw and qtv with tytn II driver mode enabled.
How can I solve the HD playback problem?
Thanks.
EDIT: O MY GOODNESS!
I just saw the sticky on the top of the page...I feel so silly.
Thanks all.
If you are converting the video to mp4, than you should better use WMP, so that you can utilize vga's acceleration. Even with acceleration I really doubt that you can play 852x355, 2643kbps with no lag or missing frames. And if you use coreplayer, than you will get even slower playback performance. I can't even play xvid 640x352 800kbps without frame losses on coreplayer.
CorePlayer can't use hardware video acceleration...
IMO, the best way is to use TouchHD video converter to recode video and use Windows Player to watch them
Windows Player can use hardware video acceleration

I recode video with touchHD converter and use windows player
I can watch Iron Man ( 800*336, MPEG-4 AVC 0.7 to 1.2Mbps, AAC 2.0 128Kbps) with no loss frames and no lag
At CorePlayer you can change buffering under settings that help a lot
the x1 can hardly handle standard def
Ohhh, thanks for all the tips.
Used TouchHD video converter and did them into MP4 but WMP says it can't load codec, really aching my processors...
Coreplayer plays my videos more smoothly than wmp ever does.
Hiya folks since all of us are using the X10, I thought I'd ask for some help.
Recently I converted a bunch of videos to MP4 using the H.264 & ACC audio codec. At first they seem to play without a glitch but after 15-20secs into it, the visual side will pause and the audio continues. So naturally, I feel, I'm encoding them with the wrong settings.
Does anyone have any pointers here? What works for you and keeps the video quality at the optimal quality without those annoying pauses?
Hi - I'm using Videora Android converter.... selected the HTC Magic device (there wasn't an x10 option!).. and H.264 480x320 768kbs stereo/128Kbps profile..
Works really well.. great quality and no jerkiness.
I use SUPER to convert my 1080p files. Heres my settings
H.264/AVC
AAC LC
848x480
29 FPS
1584kbps Video Bitrate
Hi Quality
44100
Stereo
128kbps Audio Bitrate
I've used Super and TMPGEnc to try to convert some Divx files to MP4. For some reason the audio is always out of sync on the converted video when I play it back on the X10. I can't figure it out. I'm using different resolutions with a bitrate of about 1500kbps and always sticking to AAC LC for the audio. Is anyone see the same problem or have a suggestion to fix?
What video/audio settings should be used to encode movies/videos for the Vibrant, before I get mine tomorrow I want to encode a few with avidemux
Once someone provides the settings i'll update the OP for future reference
I haven't used any compression settings yet. lol. I downloaded a 720p mkv and it played PERFECTLY in RockPlayer and Video Player. Only issue was no way to change subs or secondary audio (in mkv's).
thats funny cause one some of the mkvs i've loaded i only get sound and a black screen.. is there codecs for android i don't know about? still a n00b >_<
Both Rock Player and Video player have the mkv container and h.264 codecs built in, shouldn't be a problem. Does the file give you issues in a desktop player? Specifically, VLC?
Oh yeah, Video Player will give you 5.1 sound also!!!!
so... will I be able to download xvid movies/videos that are non-hd and play them? lol that would be siiiick
Hello all I just got my E Pad and looking to load some movies onto it.
Can anyone tell me the best format to use for quality. I have an 8Gig Micro to use for videos. I also use DVDFab for converting.
Thanks

I'm wondering this as well. I've seen a few threads on here regarding 720p settings, but how about non-hidef? What would people recommend using? I copied some movies over to my TF when I first got it and the playback was horrible, regardless of what player I used.

Anything works for non-HD, just make sure you play it with something like Mobo Player, the default player doesn't support that many formats, nor does it play it as smoothly. In terms of HD, just look at the handbrake preset or install Mediainfo to check what profile your h264 video is at (Baseline, Main, High), it usually is Main/High. If it is 720p High, you may try playing it, but anything with more than 3 reference frames will lag.
something weard is i converted some movies they play but only at 2x they fly through.

I had this issue too. The file was an MP4 H.264 encoded file but the audio codec was not in stereo.
I re-encoded the movie using AVS Video Converter with these settings:
Frame Size: 1280x 720 (depending on movie format)
Video Codec: H.264/AVC
Frame rate: 24fps or match source video
Bitrate: 1500KBs video
Video Advanced: Multi-pass (first pass fast)
Audio Codec: MPEG-2/4 Audio 192KBS Stereo not 5.1
File type: MP4 PSP
With these settings, high def videos play awesome on my Transformer both on stock player and Rock Player with hardware decoding setting.
Hello,
Has anyone been able to play 720p movies with dts audio fine on there iconia?
I've tried several media players. DicePlayer plays the sound fine but video lags. Moboplayer & rockplayer struggle both with video & audio
Try MX video player using s/w fast mode.
thanks will give this ago and report back!!
Tried out MX video player. video is very jittery.. Probably better than the other ones i have tried
i guess we have to convert them
