Forgive me cause i'm new to this forum, but I have an HTC Touch (don't know about the ELF part). My provider is Alltel.
I'm using Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate which has lots of presets, choosing windows mobile 6 wmv format and using the 320 x 240 resolution results in some really choppy playback on my phone. Trying a smaller resolution of 176 x 144 results in smoother playback but looks blurry compared to the other resolution.
I've googled and read that these phones have a 200mhz processor and thats why the video playback is choppy but when I go to Device Information under System I show a QUALCOMM 7500 (400MHz) processor.
Surely 400mhz is enough to play a small wmv file at 320 x 240? Does anyone have any ideas why my video playback is so choppy? Checked the encoded file on a few different pc's and it works fine with no play back issues. Just seems like the phone can't handle the task.

sounds like you have a HTC Vogue not Elf. IF you have GPS than you have the Vogue - If you have WIFI then you have Elf. I use Pocket Divx encoder to convert my video files for playback on my elf with a slower processor and the video's play smoothly. This question has already been asked several times - I have answered to this question personally before so I know. You need to make sure that you use the Search feature before posting questions.
Pocket Divx encoder is free - Just google it and you should find int rather quickly.
i did search and about all i can seem to find is that most think wmv is not a good format and to use a different player. i have just tried tcpmp and encoding as mpg and 3gp and not only does it still play slow, it plays slower than before using those formats and that player. it would not play wmv files because of something missing, i'm assuming to get you to buy coreplayer. i dont have a problem paying for it just hate to use it without knowing if it will solve my problem or not. i am going to google the software you mentioned and give it a try and see what happens.
on a side note - you guys should be careful about crawling people's asses over searching. i searched for the terms video and choppy and choppy video together and since nothing useful popped up i started my own with the intentions that if someone in the future came through and searched that they would have an easier time finding it.
no go on Pocket Divx encoder either, it doesn't even attempt to play the files in windows media player and using tcpmp still results in choppy playback.
i'm gonna keep reading up anywhere i can find some useful info but i'm thinking this phone will probably end up going back. my last phone never roamed but this one roams 24/7. besides the touch screen, the ability to play videos was why i bought this phone in the first place.
ahh well, time for bed. i got to go have a hernia surgery tomorrow so maybe by the next time i log in here someone will have posted with something enlightening.
thanks anyway for the suggestion hotrod

I was not crawling up your ass - If I wanted to flame you for not searching, I would not have answered your question. I was only giving you some advice, and I was stating a fact. You may have done a brief search. Searching the term video should have brought up these two results

Two completely different threads asking basically the same question you have asked. You just need to search deeper sometimes then the first couple of results.
Go ahead and take a look at what is suggested in both of these threads. You may find some useful information there.
On a side note: Ask any moderator about the importance of searching. They will remind you every time to search if they know the answer to your question is already out there. Multiple threads asking the same questions results in a lot of clutter in these forums, which is why it can be so difficult finding the information you are looking for when searching and the mods are on a mission keeping the forums clear of clutter. Read the sites and forums rules about posting and if you want to, ask any moderator.

Sorry man, it won't work. All HTC devices with Qualcomm 400 MHz CPU (Vogue, Kaiser, Polaris) haven't got video acceleration. There aren't any alternative drivers, ROMs or something. You can read more about this problem in Polaris wiki.

Good to know. I didn't know about this problem with the Qualcomm 400 MHz processors. Glad I have an Elf I guess, I have never had any problems watching videos on my device. Once converted, they all play really nice, smooth and clear.
oh man that is weak... i guess the phone goes back.
man that is ridiculous!
thanks for the help and thanks for showing me those results hotrod, i'll admit i was in a hurry at the time
problem solved
I hated to give up on my phone and spent an entire day at work searching and I have found a solution for my problem.
mobile.divx.com - site seems to be down right now but using their player my videos are playing fine. doesn't seem to play .wmv but using the mentioned encoding software and encoding it for divx and it works great. no studdering or peeling and very sharp picture at fullscreen resolution. sound seems more like a mono/stereo hybrid but i can live with that.
hope this thread helps another in the future
Hi guys, it's about a week that i'm tring to create a flawlessy working HD video for the Iconia, i've tried a lot of config but no one works, so i tried with Up downloaded from iTunes and it works like a charm, with a very good quality in about 4GB with the native Honeycomb player. So i take my Tron Legacy BluRay and tried to create a MP4 with HandBrake with AppleTV 2 preset but when i play it with every player i've got on my tab (native, Mobo, VPlayer, RockPlayer, Vital and Nemo) it's like fast forwarding and i cant slow it down to normal speed. With MediaInfo i compare the downloaded Up m4a and my rip of Tron, they look the same (same ref frames, same b-frame and all) but the iTunes one works, mine not. Obviously on PC everything it's ok.
So guys, what do you use to convert your videos to playback on Iconia?
I took the advice from this post and was able to get a 720p conversion using Handbrake from a 1080p mp4 rip of Shaun of the Dead, using Loose Animorphic setting and 1280 Picture width. You have to go to the Advanced tab and set Maximum B-Frames to 0 (from default 2?) and Preferences/General/Output Files, uncheck "'Use iPod /iTunes friendly (.m4v) file extension for MP4'". Also a good idea to make sure the Audio's set to no more than 160kbps, I think that's the Honeycomb maximum audio rate for video files atm.
Oh, the 720p file ended up being ~2GB, looks good but not great picture (occasional blur artifacting on hard scene transitions.)
Thanks, did you use AppleTV preset?
I'm going to try with your settings (i thought i used the same, but probably i'm wrong), tomorrow morning i'm coming back to update.
I've been using this preset: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVBpeQNWbEQ and have had no problems
That preset works perfect.. Thanks!
I use normal and no b-frames and i got a playable videos but very choppy. I'm going to try that present, thanks Bootup.
I've used HandBrakeCLI under Linux to convert HD MKVs for use on my Iconia. It definitely works ok for 720p video but not yet tried any 1080p.
I've written a couple of scripts that convert a single mkv file and also a directory full of mkv files, they can be downloaded here: http://db.tt/Fq7knIr
Usage is simply: "mkv2iconia.sh inputfile.mkv" or just "bulkmkv2iconia.sh" for a full directory. They will both produce "inputfile.mp4" that can be played via hardware accelerated system player
Requirements: a linux command line, HandBrakeCLI, and a lot of time/patience.
Hope this is useful to someone.

I'll give it a try if the preset posted before wont work for my rip of Tron Legacy.
I've been using a Windows application called DVD Catalyst 4 (tools4movies.com) to convert video. It had a lot of buzz about it on various forums, but I was skeptical. But it has a group of settings specifically for the Acer A500 (fast, HQ, 1080p) which make it easy to use and the new beta version works with DVDs or Blu-Rays (even copy protected ones if you have AnyDVD installed). I've done a few movies as tests and it seems to work very well.
And I was a user of Handbrake and RipBot264 previously.
I'm ripping a DVD now to try this process. It's getting good feedback,but I'll be able to decide for myself once I get it on tab. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...rum/14292-ripping-videos-dvd-acer-solved.html
Update: Just transferred the movie onto my tab (Tangled @1.05 GB) and all I can say is wow!! You guys definitely must give this a try.
@DJ_Jedi
At the risk of sounding stupid, how are you using videos downloaded from iTunes on your Acer? I thought they were DRM protected.
Do all of your videos that you have encoded come out a bit choppy? Like skipping frames all the time.

I just take it, renamed to .mp4 and copy into my Movies folder, it said "Could not work, copy anyway?" i said yes and it works.
But great news guys, used the Xoom preset posted on the previous page and it works great! Picture quality it's not the best, a little bit lower than on my previous tries, but definitely good, i'm gonna try 2 ref frames and target size 4GB and not avg bitrate 3500.
i use rock player... it plays pretty much every video file
Here is a guide for ripping high quality DVD to a500. Read to the bottom, as video conversion is discussed as well.

Been using DVD Catalyst for a long time now. I usually rip in a Divx encoded AVI wrapper, but the Iconia Tab d/n support AVI files. So I did a couple rips using the Apple TV HQ HD settings and that is working peachy. I didn't realize it had a specific device profile for the Acer (doh!).
I like this tablet, but the poor media file format support will keep it from being my main entertainment portable go to device. That will remain my Archos 70IT (250GB) for the time being.
I think i'll stick to Handbrake + Xoom Preset downloaded from here, good quality and about 3 hours conversion with a 2.1 dual core mobile CPU, guess how much it takes with an i7, because i'm going to buy a new PC this summer and i'm waver between i7 2600 and new AMD's Bulldozer...

I don't know what version you have but my dvd cat 4 is a retail copy and i do not see anything on the a500 . I do see the xoom but thats it. No Iconia a500
I am having problems playing back 720p move on the device. They stutter with rock player and qqplayer. Any suggestions?
Transcode them to different profile - like mp4 or avi. Or still mkv but main or base profile (I suspect that your movies are in High Profile) that is not supported by Tegra 2. :-(
This problem showed up with release of Xoom and everyone with Tegra 2 tablet has the same problem. As all Honeycomb tablets on the market are essentially the same it is not possible to see if it would be OK on a different CPU/SOC. :-(

That's dissapointing. My epic 4g can play 720p mkv straight withou conversion. Is this a problem that can be fixed in the future or will they always need conversion?
Vplayer, maybe? Try the 7 day Trial version first, though it's just about 5 usd. It seems to have more coded emmbedded too.

3.1 brought the update to be able to play certain high profile 720p movies in a mp4 container, which was a big step. I'm not sure how much further it'll get since it's a Tegra 2 limitation. This is why Boxee Box dropped the Tegra 2 chipset. We'll have to rely on the devs of market players to take advantage of the 3.1 release for high profile MKV support (not sure if any of the players are capable yet as I haven't been reading the Transformer or other tablet forums. There's at least a couple threads on 720p playback in each tablet forum). Hopefully they can also incorporate the lights out mode instead of having the whole home task bar on the bottom. These limitations are also another reason why a lot of us are very much looking forward to Kal-el.

Is there a official source for this limitation?
The limitation that every android Tegra 2 tablet owner is experiencing is official enough for me. When I said I'm not sure how much further it'll get, I was more talking along the lines of 1080p High Profile.

I really don't think we'll ever see any 1080p high profile playback from Tegra 2 based devices.
I've watched many full length action movies in high profile 720p h264 on the XOOM under HC 3.1, and 720p playback is much improved, but still not perfect. The video will seem flawless for a while, and then when you come to a scene with a lot of heavy action, particularly where the camera pans across the scene, the video will sometimes fall totally to pieces. Slowdown, stuttering and skipped frames - a real mess. These occurrences are very brief and infrequent, but seriously annoying when they occur. For full length action films I've gone back to transcoding the video to baseline profile.
The Tegra 2 handles high profile 720p video only well enough for casual viewing in my opinion - TV shows, comedies that sort of thing.

Anything over 480p will just be scaled down to the 480p display and look, at best, the same as 480p.

Because it's convenient not to have to transcode 1080p material that one may have in their media library just to watch it on their phone.
I deal with this all the time... I have a huge media server (10TB) with mostly HD content on it these days, because I watch the stuff via CIFS on my HD tv's using the LG BD570 bluray/network player.
I also use CifsManager (see Market) to mount these same shares from my server to easily access my library on my Epic4G around the house. I have ORB set up, but it' considerably less convenient and more cumbersome to use, so I only go that route when I'm away from home.
So, there is a very legitimate usage model where one might want to watch 1080p content on their phone. In addition to the network share (CIFS) method, one might simply want to copy 1080p media from their server to their phone for a trip, and not have to go through the hassle of transcoding.

there's an app called "Emit" on the market, which has server counterparts that will do server-side on-the-fly transcoding for you. The author posted some stuff about it on reddit and it was generally well received, but I haven't tried it out, really. Free version has ads, paid version doesn't.
I download 1080p content all the time, then stream it to my ps3 with an app or copy it over.

No. He's absolutely right. I just downloaded the video and wantes to watch it. Without downscaling or any of that crap. Sometimes you want to do things the easy way. When you get a gs2, the outcome will be same. Same display resolution. Point is, I wanted to watch a damn video at 1080p lol and the hummingbird cpus in these phones can do it.

Man, the Epic 4g was gimped from the getgo because of the Evo.
The OG specs for the Galaxy S Pro wouldve stepped all over the EVO. Sprint couldnt have that considering the amount of marketing they put in the evo to just have this random samsung phone come out of nowhere right after they launch their most heavily marketed phone with better specs because then people will be complaining that they paid for the evo and a much better phone comes out right after.
idk. just my theory. i like connecting irrelevant dots

I think you're going to have to be transcoding. If you got this video off of the web I'm willing to wager you're working with a long GOP codec, which is processor intensive. Add in the scaling required (if it's widescreen the 800px width is the limiting factor, not the 480px height) and you're looking at a fairly serious task.
If it's worth anything I can put 24 cores worth of Intel i7 (48 if you count hyperthreading) one one transcode from one RAID-5 to another RAID-5. If I'm going from a codec that's all I frames (like Animation or ProRes) and go to a long GOP codec (like H.264 or some mpeg variant) with scaling and a mild sharpening it takes about 1/2 of real time. For a mobile to decode a long GOP codec and do a similar scale in real time - what took 24 i7 cores half of real time - impresses me. Somehow the Galaxy S II seems to be able to. Rumour has it the Epic Touch is a few weeks out.

Are you sure it is playing 1080p smoothly? Every time I try a 1080p file, no matter the bitrate it will disable hardware encoding, therefore playing choppy. Some 1080p files play OK, but never at the full framerate, at 1.6ghz it is fairly close, but still not 100%.
So far I've had the best luck with MX Video Player. MVideoPlayer works fine, but does not always display subtitles properly, and won't even play 1080p (Sorry, this video cannot be played) most of the time.

I figured I'd revive this thread since a fair amount has changed in the past 14 months. With new (and hopefully better) software decoding files using Android 4.0 and 4.1, 1080p video will at least run on an OG Epic 4G running CM9. However, the frame rate is still laughably low. That said, I was wondering if anyone has come across a configuration (overclocking or otherwise) that allows for a "relatively" smooth 1080p mp4 playback (really, minimal graphics movement, just so long as the audio and video sync). Yes, MX Video Player seems to be the best at running this high-resolution content (having used about 6 video players now), but not even HW+ and/or SW+ decoders can work fast enough.
Any insight is always appreciated.
I cant seem to find any good screen recording software to record my nexus 7. Screencast which for me would be an epic application doesnt even support Tegra devices. Something to do with NEON technolegy and frame buffers ect. But I searched around and it was said not to be in tegra 2 devices but was added to the new tegra 3 processers. Ive tried [email protected] but that is MEGA slow. around 10 frames PER MINUTE it just takes pictures.
I would SO appreciate an app like Screencast that supported tegra 3 devices. around 30fps no jitters. I've even tried an app called zrecord but that fails too.
Thnx for any help.
There are a few threads about this over in the apps section but I'll save you the trip.
At this point there isn't an app that will do a screencast recording like that for Tegra.
I was looking forward to using my N7 for app review videos so I hunt around once a week just to see. I haven't seen anything even mentioned as in development.
