When watching movie trailers from all three movie apps, Movies, Moviefone, and IMDB. All looks fuzzy. Moviefone will let you pick HD and it defaults to that but it just looks like standard def.
Am I missing something in setting ?
Help please
At the bottom of the product page on Acer's US site is fine print saying that 1080P playback is coming in an update by June of this year. You didn't state the resolution, and I don't know if it's exactly the issue you're having though.
Thanks, but is that 1080p output to tv or better playback for videos. We have have 720p, right. It still looks bad. Try it, play a movie trailer from one of those sites, when the green movie trailer logo come up it is fuzzy bad.
Anyone one else wanna help answer this. Watch a movie trailer and tell me what you think.
Are we getting HD playback or not in 720p. Also does it record in 720p HD
Thanks
I've played my own videos on hd on the tablet, an they play an look great.
As for the "movie apps, " if those videos aren't playing in hd, that would be something to ask them about.

I watched a couple trailers on Moviefone, and they are not in hd. The application doesn't say anywhere (that I can see) that the trailers are supposed to be in high definition. There is a high quality setting, but no high definition.

Thanks, you are right, it says HQ, anyway i was comparing it to my brothers ipad2 and his looked crystal clear on all settings and he could chose between standard, 720p and 1080p.
Is this update coming in June for 1080p playback on the Tab or output to the TV?

Acer said in Q2 of this year (May to August) for an update that will allow 1080p playback on both the Tab and when going to a TV.
Guys, After Google I/O I am starting to think that the update in June Acer is talking about is Honeycomb 3.1.
Ideas?
The gate is not Acer, but is Nvidia. Nvidia needs to farm out codec package support to Archos. Archos may screw up awful on their tablet specs, but they have GREAT codec support in their devices.
I still do not see much value in 1080p, since drains battery and takes up tons of space. Not to mention our tablet is "800p", so 1080p is overkill.
If referring to outputting to a 1080p display and perhaps as a media center, NOW I see the point.
I have posted on another thread that I have tried playing back a 720p movie with huge lags. I think this should clear with the next update.
There is only an option for choosing standard and high quality. I was wondering if it is possible to play videos in HD. I tried the full youtube site but at 720p flash playback stuttered in the browser.
unless you have 720p screen, it wont serve any purpose to watch 720p videos. you get best quality when the video pixels and screen pixels are 1:1, since vibrant is 800*480, i think watching 480p will give you the best results.
I don't think so but why would you want to play it at 720p? The size of the screen makes high quality look like 720p...
Most of youtube content is converted to h.264 for mobile device consumption. They've converted and downsized the vids twice. Sd and hq. No other option through the app.

I just got my Note in the mail from Clove UK. And everything is great so far, and I dunno if this is and Android thing (This is my first Android device) or a Samsung thing. When I play videos from You Tube or videos that I encoded the blacks are heavily pixelated. (Not sure if that's a word). Am I doing something wrong? What program and/or setting is the best to get rid of that black pixel issue? The test video of the jelly fish works great. Noob questions I know! Thank in advance again for your help.
My guess is that its not directly your fault.
There are several aspects to think of here:
- It may be that artefacts (caused by video encoded in low bitrate) are more noticable on a screen like that of the galaxy note than others.
- It may be that youtube just delivers you the low quality version of the video.
- The video on youtube may be in bad quality to begin with, try other youtube videos and see if it happens only on a few ones or many.
- Note: I see now you already tried the video, so that is probably not a cause. (Your screen itself may have some flaws. Check on that for instance by using a screen test tool like "Screen Test" or playing the video already supplied with the Note (Open the standard video player app that comes with it and select "lightness & slimmess"))
When it comes to watching youtube on a mobile device I recommend (if you have a mobile data connection with enough bandwidth, such as good umts or hsdpa or Wifi) to enable high quality in the youtube app (whenever possible, use the youtube app, and do not play it in the browser).
To do this hit the options button in the youtube app, select settings and enable the first option to enable high mobile quality.
Secondly many videos will allow you to switch between lower and higher quality with the HD button on the upper left (visible at the start or when you tap the screen while palaying) - if you enable high mobile quality this should be turned on to high quality by default.
When it comes to youtube thats probably all you can do to improve quality.
When it comes to playing videos in general (excluding youtube) the standard player can manage most formats. However if you have trouble with some videos you may want to give Dice player a try!
Hope this helps!
Ok thanks, I will def try that!
I belive this is coursed by the hight res/density of the Note screen and low quality of the video in YouTube app, I think the highest quality of video in the YouTube app is only 480P.
I also noticed this problem while streaming old TV shows from PLEX to my Note, this is less noticeable with my Tab 10.1 with the same resolution but its screen is about 4 times larger.
You could use the stock or most aftermarket browser and watch 720P YouTube using Flash on normal YouTube site.
simple solution is to not use the app and just use a browser. ive had no issues watching 720p videos in youtube on the browser.

can you post the youtube link so u can test on my Note.
I have also experienced this on other vids and am convinced it may a bit depth limitation of the Note screen... but need to verify.

I've noticed this too with the You Tube app. The blacks sometimes are blocky. A good example is the Avatar 1080p trailer, especially around 15 seconds mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2RCBa3l-g
If I view the same clip on You Tube via a browser (720p settings) it looks better, but the browser is a fiddly substitute for the app on a phone. It does seem to be mostly a bitrate limitation though, so maybe Google or a.n. other hacker needs to modify "HD" on their app to mean a higher bitrate, now we're defining 1280x800 as a mobile screen resolution .
[edit]
Actually, if I watch that Avatar clip in the browser with a playback quality set to 240p or 360p it obviously looks pixelated, but doesn't show the blockiness that's in the You Tube app stream. Looks like the app either is handling the stream differently (badly) or the stream itself is different to that which is sent to the flash plugin in the browser. Wonder if Google is using a different codec for their app. WebM maybe?
I did notice that there were mods of youtube.apk that enabled 720p, but does anyone know if the Youtube app is 720p out of the box when the HD is toggled? It does have a HD resolution screen.
From what I have seen YouTube calls 720p and 1080p HD. 480p is listed as high quality HQ. 360 and 280 is just standard or low quality.
I have watched 720P HD on my N7 and Galaxy Nexus. Just depends if the option it shows you when playing a YouTube video is HD or HQ.
