Hey
I've had my Acer from the 18th and not really watched any videos on it until today. I downloaded a 1080p to find it shuttered but the audio was perfect. But when I try a 720p it refusees to even load it. Even in rock player. Does anyone know off a fix?
Give moboplayer a try and download it from the website not the market. I use the medium version on my xoom and it plays almost everything I throw at it.

I cant get any 720p h.264 videos working unless I use handbrake and convert to mpeg4. From what I have read this is a tegra 2 hardware issue.

Its a software, not hardware issue. As a previous gtablet user I can tell you that tegra 2 can handle almost any format and profile you throw at it. All except for maybe 1080p HP. This narrows the issue to Honeycomb, not the hardware.

I am in the same situation right now. 720p h.264 movies does not play on my iconia. I have to use mobo player and select software decoding to play the movie. Video is smooth without stuttering but audio is not in sync with video.
I tried to play the same movie on the transformer. It plays perfectly fine using both hardware decoding and software decoding. What is going on here? both TF and iconia run on honeycomb and pretty much have the same hardware configuration. Why iconia can't play the movie while TF can.

That is truly a mystery. H264 720p stuff plays fine on my Iconia and they're both at this point supposed to be limited to the same formats. Maybe if we could compare somehow we can figure out whats going on.

Hmm, I can't believe this. I just had a chat with Acer technical support about the problem. He said that he can't help me with the problem because he does not know how to fix it. He wants me to contact pay per support for the problem. Why on earth should I have to pay for support when the product is still under warranty. I just bought this 3 days ago. Anybody contacted customer support for this?
I heard Acer support is a joke, u are the third person I have seen on the forum that has called and all they said was pay for better support, and I am thoroughly convinced that even the pay support won't be able to help.

Acer support is a fallacy. I'm pretty sure they are answering questions by checking the manual. Anything not in there and they give you the number for pay support.

I tried both moboplayer + rockplayer (for tegra2). Both refuse to play with hardware accelaration mode + both have a lot of issues with softplayer (sound + image)
The file i am trying to play is the last episode of HouseMD . Mkv format details follows.

Interesting, I too can't play 1280x720p [email protected] and overall bitrate over 3Mbps.
I'm reproducing your results with all my files that are full 720p [email protected], they're all running at an overall bitrate of over 3Mbps.
Oddly enough, here is another that won't play for me:

If we can spot the major difference(s), we may find the culprit.
Could it be overall bitrate or something else I've missed? Either way, I hope Acer sends an update soon. There's no way our tablet needs to be this picky.
Hi Neoprimal and texonex,
I recently bought the acer a500 two days ago and so far the thing that has disappointed me is video playback. I have many movies downloaded from net (.mp4, .avi, .mkv, etc.) which play well in VLC Player on my Win 7 laptop. With Mobo and Rock Player, I am able to play them on my a500 without any conversion, but on my iconia tab, somehow the video and audio gets out of sync. The audio is ahead of video and that is giving me a bad experience. You hear a dialog before and the person saying it appears afterwards.
Do you think the update coming in June would resolve this issue? NCIX guy told me I can return it within 15 days (which will get over before June comes) but really speaking I would hate to return this. The tab is perfect and has all the ports one need except for this bad video playback experience.
Please advice.
Regards,
Md. Irfan

According to Nvidia website, Tegra 2 processor can handle both 720p and 1080p HD video, but honeycomb unfortunately can't. This is how Tegra 2, honeycomb and applications interact with each other:
Nvidia Tegra 2 (hardware)<=> Honeycomb (operating system)<=> Applications (software)
By saying that, I don't think any application is able to hardware decode HD videos until honeycomb is capable of doing so. When you tried to play HD videos with Rockplayer or Mobo, you were actually played them using software decoding and everyone knows that it does not go well such as stuttering, video/audio out of sync, or even no audio.
I honestly don't know if google is going to release a fix for this; hopefully, honeycomb 3.1 will. Until then, we have to re-encode HD videos in a specific way so that our tablet or any Tegra2/Honeycomb tablet can play them smoothly.
There are many choices of video converting software on the market right now but I personally use handbrake to re-encode my HD videos. Attached is the preset that works very well on the iconia (rename the file to have a .plist extension) that I took from the transformer forum, or you can go here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
I hope this can help you with your decision whether or not to return your tablet.
@ other xda members, if I stated anything wrong about this matter, please feel free to correct.
Tegra2 can handle 720p BASIC profile and not HIGH profile. This is what i found out by reading this forum (and the net). So this is NOT a honeycomb issue but a Tegra2 issue and i do not expect to be "fixed"
Per nvidia, these are what the 250 can decode at 1080p:
H.264 mainprofile
VC-1 AP
MPEG2
MPEG-4
DivX 4/5
XviD HT
H.263
Theora
VP8
WMV
Sorenson Spark
Real Video
VP6
I am hoping the update in June (possibly 3.1?, just conjecture) will improve some of this decoding support...only time will tell.
sigh.
convert your movies using this handbrake profile: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVBpeQNWbEQ
yes, it works. i've converted numerous 1080p movies using this profile and while the file sizes are still sizable, the resulting conversions run 100% h/w accelerated in moboplayer (if it weren't, mobo would tell you to re-run the file via software decoding). i've yet to have any issues whatsoever.
Hmm so the iPad also has video playback issues? I was about to switch over to the iPad 2 so I do not have these issues but the video seems to indicate they also have that issue....
Hi guys,
I finally received my Asus Transformer including the dock. After a little scare when my touch screen stopped responding, it is now up and running. Updated it to 3.1. I transcoded a 20 min video file using Handbrake and the preset I found here in a different thread. However, that took me almost two hours on my old Dell laptop. The resulting file looked and played fine though.
Now I downloaded an hour long episode with the following characteristics:

Since transcoding the video would take ages, I'd like to just demux audio and video transcode the audio to AAC and then mux them in a MP4 file. I used multiple converters, such as Avidemux, GOTsent, Xvid4PSP 6 and Xenonmkv that were recommended on this and other forums. All give me an output file, but none of them play well. Funny enough, the original MKV does play on the Transformer, just without sound, so I don't think the video is too heavy.
Can anybody post me their method, so I can see what I'm doing wrong?
I have the same issues. The file that is produced by XenonMKV behaves differently depending on what player I use in Windows e.g;
VLC: picture freezes, sound plays well
Quicktime: completely white picture, sound plays well
Win Media Player: Picture framerate is too high (but good quality!) so it looks like its fast-forwarded. the sound meanwhile plays at normal rate.
When the MP4 is copied to the transporter it shows 1 frozen frame, the sound plays as it should.
I tried converting with handbrake, that does the job, takes alot longer though

Thanks for sharing.
So the best player to play M2TS video formats is dice player.
Tapatalked from my super smooth, ultra fast samsung galaxy s2.
hi,
just checked Dice Player on my Sensation. its really great app. showing 1080p videos almost flawlessly.
my question is, if dice is lowering the fps to show video more fluently?
Thanks

Well, if it looks fluid that means the framerate is high basically per definition. Low framerates look choppy, high rates to not.
sorry to bring up an old thread. I just got the dice player app and plays my mkv and m2ts files great. The only problem is that i can't seek when i play m2ts files. Is there a fix for it? Thanks.
Anyone tried mx player? Great on my transformer..

I don't have a video file to test, but MX has always worked flawlessly on my SGS2 with both HW and SW decode (SW decoding looks surprisingly good as well, but the phone gets very hot).
I have 700mb video files that I would like to trim down to 500-625 mb to fit more on my xoom before I go away to school soon. I don't have much knowledge in video converting so thats why I'm posting. I have an idea but I would like input before I leave my PC on all night to be disappointed with the quality.
Here is a sample mediainfo export of the specs of my desired video files. I would like to know how would I go compressing without losing to much quality.

Use my script, and set video recode to Yes. Video looks fairly compressible at 1550Kbps, as SD res is usually well under 1000, depending on content. If it's a TV episode (ie low-action), probably 700-800.
Assume 900Kbs for video + 130Kbs for audio, (900+130)Kb/s * 3600 sec/hr / 8 bit/Byte / 1024 Kb/Mb = 453 MB for hour-long vid.
You can further reduce size by using 640 res, or quality 22+. Using VerySlow speed would eke out another 10-15% size reduction vs Medium, although for mobiles it's not recommended.
hello guys, anybody tried to play 720p HD mkv or 1080p mkv?
KF can play this video format?
Best way to find out is to try it right
Sent from my Kindle Fire using Tapatalk
I haven't Kindle yet and can't try ... I want to buy it but I need to know how HD video works on KF.
Can't put link to HD video for test... need 8 posts... sorry...
Let try find 720p video on torrent/tracker etc...
P.S If you open a standard player does not work, please try the MX Video Player or Mobo Player and make sure that it is accelerating HW and everything goes smoothly...
Thanks.
I didn't hear anything about mkvs, but I did hear it can play 1080p and I read it did a solid job of it as well. Seems file size is limited to 2 GB max though.
maybe mx video player can play mkv on KF?
It will play 720p mkv's it gets a little choppy not sure if it is from streaming over wireless causing it or if the hardware is just not up to the task.
I am using Skifta + mx video player.
I used Moboplayer to play 720p mkv and it played like a champ.

Hi, How do you get moboplayer running? KF auto reboots once I tap a video in mobo.
I tried an 720p mkv of "The Art Of Flight" (amazing piece btw). using mx player and mobo. it runs pretty solid but not perfectly fluid. so it seems to vary from movie to movie, but once those apps get updated to be more optimised for the fires cpu/gpu we should be pretty save.
i have sent a 720p mkv of cars 2 quality is outstanding and plays with vplayer
I downloaded 720p anime trailer and sideloaded MX Video Player but it couldn't activate hardware decoding and thus played very choppy. Given the processor is the same as the Archos G9 tablets, they must have messed up on the codecs.
I tried 2 hours long 720p movie 3GB in size and it was playing decently, only in some fast action in was tearing a little bit.
Anyway I don't really see much sense in this as movie like this is taking up most of space available. Normal SD quality stuff is playing fine.
Ok this time I tested this 720p sample clip of the Californication intro (mirror here) and MX Video Player could only do software mode so it was choppy.
Has anyone ever gotten MX Video Player to use hardware mode on this thing?
My MX is saying that it's actually in HW mode in one movie that I tried.
On this one it's working

There doesn't seem to be that big difference between these files and yet it's working only on one.
EDIT: It appears that only H.264 mp4 files are HW accelerated.
Perhaps not ideal for everyone, but I keep my movies I'm my computer and use the emit app to stream/convert and download them at will to the kindle, it all works very well

i've tried mx player and vplayer and for both some audio delays apart from video.. any ideas?
Too bad this tablet does not have HDMI out. With the 1024x600 screen, it can't really play 720p/1080p videos, even if the CPU is up to it. I've heard that the CPU is more suitable to playing those videos than the Tegra2, am I right? because even with BS Player I'm having issues with some frames skipping on MKVs
I'm playing American Psycho at 720p, and its an mp4, works gloriously

But the first video you tried was MKV
mkv is a sort of container. Inside can be different video formats, including subtitles ...
More interesting would be to find out why the second one is not playing in HW, as used codec appears to be pretty much the same.
