4K video - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Guys ! Note 3 can't play 4K videos ? I downloaded some videos and it's saying "unsupported video codec"

It plays 4K video recorded on it fine (Snapdragon that is), but I would guess, either the downloaded video was recoded with different codec not supported by your phone, or maybe you have Exynos version and that one doesn't record 4k, so maybe it can't play it, but I don't have Exynos, so can't say for sure. Maybe you should try different player, like VLC, it has better codec support.
BTW Note 3 doesn't have AC3 audio codec, so it won't play audio encoded as such.

Can the Galaxy Tab play high-profile .mkv files flawlessly?

Can the Galaxy Tab play high-profile .mkv files flawlessly?
What I am talking about is 720p .mkv files with high bit rate ( 4,000+ kbps ) without DTS sound (just AAC sound) flawlessly?
The Xoom is having problem in this department.
Also, what player do you use? Default, or Rockplayer or others?
Standard video player plays 1080p and 720p without any problem...

i use mVideoplayer, like it that it can extract subtitles from mkv.
Stock video player has played everything for me fine
swyped from a galaxy far far away...

High bit rate 4mbps? Compared to what, a cellphone video? XD
I got the tab to read PERFECTLY a full hd beast peaking roughly at 40mbps. H264, obviously. Was an mp4, but i doubt that a container will make any difference, i did watch several 720p mkv on the tab anyway.
Oh, i almost forgot: all this with the built in player. Using rockplayer in software mode, that 1080p beast ran at 2-3 fps.

I have played 720p MKV file. But no player seems to play it smoothly. And most of them does not play the sound audibly.
Worse, the stock player do not even recognize the file type. H264 videos are flawless.
any suggestions for the MKV player?

I watched like 6 episodes of Panty and Stocking with the stock player. MKV with subtitles (i had to convert them into srt and put them outside the MKV container...) in 720p and clearly with h264 video and aac audio.
There is maybe something wrong with your player?

I've got some mixed results.
Most files play fine, 1080p or 720p, but it has problems with some files with only DTS or AC3 sound included.
While the galaxy tab is the best media playing tablet I've tried (not tried the archos 101) it failed to play a 720p blu ray rip with 9 reference frames I think it was encoded with matroska libraries later than 1.0
Stock Player is amazing. I cannot stress that enough. It can play 1080p and 720p high profile mp4 h.264 videos flawlessly. Only gripe is the non-support for > 2ch audio, but this can be easily remedied via an audio demux with Yamb -> downmix to stereo -> mux new audio with Yamb.
I don't even watch movies on my HTPC anymore, I just downmix the audio, leave the video alone, and paste the file unto my device.
That's.
how.
good.
it.
is.
I found that using Rockplayer universal with hardware decoding mode plays just as well as the stock play but with the added function of allowing you to choose which audio track to use. However if you have an integrated sub title track mvideoplayer is better. However what the device can play isn't limited to profiles, as I found the tab can play high profile but content encoded with some of the newer matroska libraries, it struggles with.

Buy or not to Buy?

hi,
i am thinking of upgrading to Galaxy s2 from Galaxy s
the most important thing i am looking forward to is 1080p video
especially the streaming part
so i am asking wether MKV streaming is flexible and achievable
i am currently using Diceplayer to play HD Videos
but i am not sure if it will decode 1080p
what do you think?
Says on DicePlayer page "Samsung Galaxy S2 : 1080p H.264 [email protected]/MPEG-4,1080i AVCHD MTS." I have diceplayer also and with or without it, plays 1080p mkv w/ subtitles fine except you can't use stock with flac audio unlike Diceplayer.
how about streaming 1080p?

[Q] HD Video is lagging

I bought me a Lenovo Tablet yesterday and wanted to try out to play HD Videos on it.
Sadly my videos are lagging and the audio is async... I tried it with MX Player and Mobo Player, both installed the ARMv7 Codec. What i'm curious about is, that the Tegra v2 Chip should to decoding of 1080p h.264 Material in Hardware (my video was h.264 720p in a MKV Container) and both players showed me that they decode the video in software...
Is there any player that can play my mkv videos without lagging around? Or do i just need to adjust something?

Try different players but it's def not capable of 1080 and even has issues with 720p main and high profile
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
mhh but the nvidia site says something different...
so the chip itself should take care of that... maybe its just a firmware issue?
The screen is 1200x800 so there's really no way to play 1080p on it. Even 720p is going to be cropped. The only way to do 1080p is over HDMI without mirroring but apparently that isn't very smooth so 720p seems like a much better option.
Tried a reboot and/or turning Wifi off/on again? It's worked for me.
Basically the chip can do it. The Tegra 2 has some special HW IP inside that will do the decoding. Most of the Tegra 2 tables are unable to use it because the vendors are not supplying the codecs and filters that make use of the HW block. So you are somehow limited to the codecs and resolutions that are choosen by the manufacturer/Nvidia. You can't change anything and as far as I know Nvidia also isn't distributing this part open.
I'm also quiet disappointed seeing that chinese pads with Telechips MCU (ARM11 single-core) can playback almost everything up to full-HD and the Thinkpad Tablet can't.
Dice Player.
It is the ONLY working HW accelerated player in my experience....
mkv files, everything plays well on it....

Hii everyone ,
I have some movie in hd format which I want convert to watch on my galaxy s4,I know I can watch them as it is after I watched the helicopter video which came preinstalled on my galaxys4 I thought why not watch every video or movie like that.
So any particular converter I should use and what settings should I use ,, like for the video height and video width.
the bits per second and audio settings.
The movies I have have are of 7 to 10 gbs each and of very very high quality.
thanks.

Just buy an SD-Card and play them natively with MX Player, or Diceplayer. No need to convert anything.
Totally agree! Can't beat MXPlayer for functions! I missed the samsung player for a while on the S2 when I used a custom rom, but then I found MXPlayer. Now I even gotten myself the 'PRO' one to support further development

Dude I know that I can play them on mx player or even the default video player.its juts that I wanted to know what setting I should use if I wanted to convert the videos for the default s4 resolution,cause normally theres always black areas below and above the videos or u gotta zoom in which causes a bit of the frame to cut out .
So if someone could just get me some good converter settings..

You want to convert a 2.35:1 video into 16:9? Why not just scale it? You are going to introduce clipping if you want to get rid of the black bars, and re-encoding only results in a loss of quality. I don't know what exactly you are expecting if you already know that scaling cuts off a bit of the movie.
Try xilisoft video converter. It has a conversion option for galaxy phones

Your movies are in 2.35:1. They will always have black bars, it's intended to be that way. If you play those movies on an 80 inch television you will also have the same borders. Either zoom in, which degrades the quality, or watch them as they were intended.
Or, simply only download 16:9 movies. Problem solved.
Here are the video settings supported by Galaxy S4 from Samsung's official site:
Video
Codec: MPEG4, H.264, H.263, DivX, DivX3.11, VC-1, VP8, WMV7/8, Sorenson Spark, HEVC
Recording & Playback: Full HD (1080p)
So you can convert your video to 1080p H.264 .mp4.
Why Convert Video to Samsung Galaxy?
Have trouble in playing MP4, MOV, MOD, AVI, SWF, DIVX, MPEG, FLV, MVI, MKV, 3GP, WTV and more video files in Samsung Galaxy phone including Samsung Galaxy S5? Why?
Reason one: Though Samsung announced to support FLV, 3GP, WMV, AVI, MP4, MKV, DivX, Xvid, etc, we still encounter issue when play them in Samsung phone since these formats are container formats which may contain codecs that are not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Smartphone.
Reason two: Samsung Galaxy doesn't natively support MOV, AVCHD, MPG, DV, ASF, SWF, MOD, etc as input formats.
How to Play Video in Samsung Galaxy?
Convert MP4, MOV, MOD, AVI, SWF, DIVX, MPEG, FLV, MVI, MKV, 3GP, WTV, etc to Samsung Galaxy video formats with Faasoft Video Converter.
