on my touch pro ive had no need for watchin super high res videos but with the hd2's screen i figure why not.
do free players support mkv files and do they actually play without stuttering?
I dunno about 720p files without studder but it might do it, depends on how well it was encoded.
On my Fuze I have played some MkV files on Coreplayer as well as FLAC and OGG without issues.
Easy answer - no.
If you want best quality, recode them to 800x480 MP4.
But if you're into series, the standard xvid versions already play beautifully.
double post, sorry...
I used Handbrake for encoding files into MKV and MP4 to play them in TCPMP. The best results i had with MKV, more sharp, more brighness and they´re running without breaks.
so for 800x480 what other video settings did you pick for mkv to have it play perfect? i got a bit of stutttering on the file i tried today
Sounds Interesting.
just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
Xvid is easier on the processor than H264 so you will get better results with it, just up the bitrate to 2Mbps+ and it'll look better than the the 750kbps H264, and it'll play faster as well.
CPU
did you know that even G4 Cpus cant handle 720p Perfectly!
also, there is absolutely no reason to watch a 1280×720 resolution file on a screen that is only 800x480.
it will give you no advantages visually.
no, but time advantages if it wasn't necessary to reencode the video ..
This phone should be able to handle 720P, I mean my old i8910 (600Mhz CPU, 256MB RAM, native DivX/Xvid support) could play most 720P I threw at it, so certainly the hardware isn't the main issue here...
m720p mkv's converted to mp4 using winmenc (and the audio sync fix to counteract the hd2's sync problem) and playing on windows media player looks great
hmm, do you have soo many 720p sources? i play normal tv shows and movies as divx or xvid DVD quality, and that plays perfectly....

No choice, some of us have moved to HD media for quite sometime already.

hehe...for sure you can't play 720p mkvs on the i8910.
Hi Everyone,
I want to know how is the video playback on Nexus 7 (720p and 1080p) and if possible can any one test out the result if i want to stream (720p or 1080p) video via wifi using any app.
as far as playback goes. 720p is good to go. Galaxy Nexus can handle it and i know the Tegra 3 can (at least on the other asus tablets)
Can't say anything about 1080 or streaming though.
I am only asking because I amusing Atrix (tegra 2) and it sucks at playing even 720p videos (only videos made from camera are rock solid) and i dont want to convert a video before watching it on tablet i guess quad core cpu with 12 core GPU is just a fancy bull ****
I've a Transformer prime so far and a consider changing for a Nexus 10. I just wondering if the dual-core A15 processor will be enough for playing 1080p mkv from my synology NAS via WIFI?
Exynos 5250 is the next generation of the exynos series, which will surely improve the hardware decoding dsps
The Exynos 5250 can supposedly decode 1080/60p which I have plenty on my DS211j from a Panasonic TM700 (in m2ts format).
"This SoC will have a memory interface providing 12.8 GB/sec of memory bandwidth, have support for USB3 and SATA3, decode full 1080p video at 60 fps along with simultaneously displaying WQXGA-resolution (2560x1600) on a mobile display as well as 1080p over HDMI."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos_(system_on_chip)
The GPU of the Exynos 5 is faster than the one of the Tegra 3... I'm pretty sure that it will play 1080p videos

we should be asking if it's gonna play 2560x1600 videos at 60p, hell 2k. Hell, 4k!
okay, then let's buy it!! wait until november 13

To be honest, if the Tegra 3 can do 1080p60 and it is much, much slower, I don't see why this thing shouldn't be able to do videos of that resolution. Not that they exist, of course - or do they? Is that what BluRay's all about?
Though really, I'm not sure you can fit a feature-length film at 1600p into 32GB.

do a youtube search of 4k test.
Make sure you're PC can handle it tho!:laugh:

If my PC can't handle it, then it's just another situation, like browser scrolling, where desktop software is inferior to mobile software. Considering I run games at maximum settings on here. But do you think the Nexus 10 could do it?

I honestly couldn't say weather the Nexus 10 could handle 4k. Depending on how old your PC is and your GPU, you may or may not be able to view 4k videos smoothly.
have you found an app who does support hardware decoding on our N10?

Depends on the format. For Mp4/h.264. Everything works. For h.264 in a mkv. MX Player will play HW video and SW audio.
For other format nobody seems up to date yet. The Exynos claims support for a lot of format decoding, but Google seems to have phoned in native support on the kernel.
Has its GPU support for decoding of such videos? If not, are four A15 cores powerful enough?

No and no, at least on the Snapdragon version.
Tried a 1080p vid now and a couple of 720p ones of varying bitrates.
The stock player only decodes the audio.
In S/W+ decoder in MX Player with 4-core encoding and only 16-bit colour depth the 1080p video still stutters, although marginally improved Vs last years hardware. Of the 720p videos the lower bitrate video was fine, the slightly higher bitrate one was again slightly improved Vs last years hardware and watchable if not completely smooth (watchable for me that is, YMMV of course).
Thank you. Sad to know that 1080p Hi10P isn't yet playable.
but 1080p videos coded like the youtube videos and such, are 100% playable, right?

Of course, otherwise why Samsung would've added the 1080p screen

So for the longest time, my Note 3 always lagged a bit with 1080p videos, but a few days ago when I just updated to the newest MX Player, 1080p videos now play perfectly.
A majority of my videos are encoded in 720p mainly because 1080p couldn't play right, but now I'm thinking of re-encoding all my movies in 1080p. My question is will it make a difference in quality? I can always tell the difference in quality when I watch on my 42 inch TV since there's some distance between me and my TV, but when I watch my videos on my phone, I usually have it in front of my face pretty close. Would a video in 1080p make a difference to a 720p video even on a small 5 inch phone? I can tell a huge difference between another one of my phone which is 4 inch (480p) vs my Note 3 (720p) when playing videos. I just want to know if there is no real difference, I was going to keep 720p because 1080p videos are damn huge.
Sorry for the long question. Kudos to anyone who has any knowledge on this subject.
The fact is 1080p will technically appear better than 720p. Whether or not you notice the difference will depend on how well your eyes are attuned to high pixel images. While I've never done a comparison on my note 3 I have clearly noticed the difference on an 8in tablet. I can notice pixelation on 4k images and higher but I've been exposing my eyes to them for years now. I honestly don't think it would bother you (or me) if watching videos, but if you are ocd like me and have the original files at higher resolution with the storage space I would probably make all my videos the highest res available based on the original (understanding that without high end video editing software there is no benefit to increasing resolution beyond the original).
Oops I forgot to mention. I actually never had problems with 1080p videos. It was always the ones that were encoded in 10bit + 1080p that lagged. With the latest version of MX Player, SW decoder can actually play the damn thing without much lag. And this is with the subtitle enabled which is pretty amazing.
My eyesight is pretty horrible so maybe I won't notice the sharpness of 1080p much...
Edit - So I tested a few videos. Looks like I overestimated the SW decoding. It's definitely come a long way because there isn't as much as lag as before, but there IS still lag. I actually tested some 10bit 1080p with insanely high bitrates and it lags like a mother still. The lag isn't as bad as before, but it is still there. Guess I will just stick with 10bit 720p for now. No matter how much better 1080p may look, it doesn't beat 720p with perfect playback and no annoying lags.
You brought up the one thing I forgot to mention about differences between the two, bitrate. When it comes to encoded videos (not on a disc), bitrate is almost everything when it comes to quality. My previous post holds true as long as the bitrate remains comparable. If a 720p video has a significantly higher bitrate than a 1080p video, the 720p will view better in almost every scenario.
I don't know at what point the Note 3 will be unable to support smooth playback, but depending on what format you have encoded your videos will determine the quality. What I do know is that bluray level bitrate if far too high for the Note 3. I would take a guess that somewhere between 3000 - 4000 kbps would be the limited to what the hardware could handle but I could be mistaken. What I do know is that using MP4 (or MKV with MP4 encoding) at around 2k kbps is close to the same visual quality (on smaller screens) as any container using H.264 encoding at 3k-4k kbps.

I encode most of my videos in MKV format which is why the bitrate is already high enough. Most of my 720p videos have a bitrate of around 2k-2.5k and that's good enough for me. Most of the 1080p videos are almost triple that amount so I guess it's not surprising that the Note 3 will have some hiccup here and there. Not to mention the size of the files are almost 3-4 times big which isn't really ideal for my small storage.
Anyway, thanks for the helpful reply. Wish I can do HW+ decoding with MX player, but alas that's not possible so I guess I will stick with 720p.
