Hello !
Yesterday I was very much surprised when I downloaded all mp4 HD video from my SGS2 to the TAb and neither file couldn't be played on stock player. After hours of rush in the Internet I tryied almost all other known players but the bext I achieved was slow motion video in dice player. What is your expereience? Did anybody run smoothly HD videos on his device?
720p is fine. 1080p is not. You can grab bsplayer free from the market, very nice player.
I believe the only hardware accelerated codec is H264 so any video not in that format would have issues with 1080p. I personally played a 720p Xvid, over the network, using MX Player last night. DICE had speed problems with it.
In my experience DICE is better for MKV and MX is better for AVI etc.
there's discussions and recommendations about this in this thread

If there is any app that would do it if the hardware was up to spec it would be Dice Player. It eats all my 720p MKV's for breakfast but still can't do 1080p.
Hi guys im on ismobile rom everything great but hd vid playback sucks. Im using dice for playback but still its not like it should be. Anyone any thoughts?
Thank you!

Rockplayer maybe....
I use it for my movies
Send from my rooted 10.1v
MX Video-Player works as well.
Just give it a try
This tablet sucks hard on .mkv high quality videos . If you want to play them smoothly , you can convert to WMV using MSMPEG4V2 codec .
MX Player is a very good player.
Subject's been beaten to death in other threads. Basically boils down to specific supported codec settings when you encode your rips.
If you're trying to watch 1080p or 720p BD rips that you're pulling off of random torrents you'll undoubtedly have issues. If you're encoding yourself though you should be able to adjust your encoding settings to get smooth 720p playback.
My rips are done in Handbrake to MP4 format, I start with the Regular-High Profile and then turn off B-Frames, CABAC, 8x8 Transform and Weighted P-Frames. I then set my audio to a single AAC track at 160 bitrate and turn off all video filters. My video quality I set to ABR with a target average of about 3000 to 3500. My picture setting I set to 1280 width. Do this once and save it as a preset . . done . . Resulting rips play flawlessly in Dice and look STUNNING on the GT 10.1's screen.
I've even combined my MP4's into MKV files to add subtitles without issues.
You can thank nVidia for not including NEON in the Tegra 2's Cortex A9 to save money.

I'm using rooted official 2.3 rom. when I play mkv 720p movies , video plays at lower frame rate than usual and problem in audio video sync. I use mx player and hardware decoder is not available for mkv. can please anyone suggest me some tips to play 720p smoothly. and is there hardware decoding available in new adreno driver in dzo ics for mkv?
I m using bsplayer lite tha supports mkv.
720p on nearly 480p device?
Professionals can correct me, there are few reasons why it won't play in full speed:
1) .mkv files need usually the same space as .mp4, but it has better quality. BUT needs more power to play. That is the disadvantage of matroska. So if there is too high bitrate on the video, it lags/wents off sync. Overclocking might help.
2) 720p??! Really? This phone CAN record 720p video with good fps, but only in good light conditions. You can even watch them (because they are so low-bitrate), but if you have like 720p movie, it lags due to high bitrate it needs to look clear. BUT why would you want to play 1280x720 (16:9 ) resolution video in 800x480 (16:10) resolution screen? Shapes will look odd... I would prefer 480p (854x480).
3) I'm guessing that your movie is on your memorycard? If your memorycard is too slow, can that be the reason for lagging too. This can be fixed with faster memorycard.
4) Switch to Moboplayer. I don't have any experience of mxplayer, but Moboplayer can use hardware decoding for that.
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.
I have movies

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.
Wht is the correct ratio for viewing 3d hsbs movies in mxplayer?
Please share the ratio for both screen i.e. 16:9 screen and 18:9 screen
Set a custom aspect ratio to 32:9 (for 16:9) or 36:9 (for 18:9). Works well with mx player.
