[Q] Samsung stock video player lag? Video/audio sync issues - Captivate General

Anyone else having issues with the video and audio not syncing properly when watching video? I tried the many video programs including the stock Samcung Video Player and everything seems to lag.
Tried transferring video files through Samsung Kies and simple drag-and-drop...and both have same results.
Wondering if it's my phone that is defective?
Thanks!

I've been using the Video Player with a ton of downloaded content and in general I find at the best of times the audio is off by a fraction of a second.
Yesterday I had a giant lag in an episode of Mad Men that was working just fine earlier that day.
I loaded up the task manager (Froyo build) and killed everything, restarted the video player and it seemed to improve.

Blank screen when using Windows Media Player

Hi there --
I'm trying to help my wife with a really strange Windows Media Player problem.
She has four videos on her phone (T-Mobile MDA). One video is a WMV recorded using the camera, in mp4 format. The other three are MPEGs converted to WMVs using Windows Movie Maker in WinXP.
To a first order, all the videos play fine. However, if she plays the captured video, THEN tries to play one of the converted videos, she will get a blank screen. If you go to the "task manager", and kill WMP, you can play the converted videos again, until the next time you play the captured video.
The symptom is a completely blank screen. Sound plays fine, and the cursor moves across like the video is playing, but no video.
Has anyone else seen this symptom?
Thankx!
imho them wmp is not a really good player
i would try winamp if that also do it
you can narrow it down to
a codec issue
or a video card driver issue
This does sound like a codec issue. Personally I don't recommend using WMP on your phone or on your desktop.
Instead download the free TCPMP. It supports many formats and has a wide verity of options to control playback, performance and memory usage.

codec?
I'm definitely going to have my wife try the other media player, thanks.
A codec may be involved, but there clearly has to be something else at foot: the problem arises across individual playing sessions. All the videos play, if you start from a fresh WMP. The faulty interaction only comes up if you play a video *from the phone* first. Totally weird.
So it sounds like no one else has seen this...

[Q] Problem with YouTube video playback

Hello,
Suddenly I have a problem with YouTube video playback. The videos start streaming ok, but the appear small (not fullscreen) and very low quality. It used to work fine. The locally recorded videos play nice even in 720p. The problem is with the streaming video player.
I installed the LagFix (which works miracles) at somepoint earlier. Do you think that this could cause this problem? Any one else has seen it? The device is a Samsung S.
Thanks,
Michael

[Q] Video playback

Hey guys,
Trying to setup my GFs phone with some media to watch while at the gym, and I can get everything on there fine and use different players to watch it, but I noticed no matter the player there's a significant frame drop/stuttering in the playback, especially when compared to my S2.
Anybody else notice any choppiness when playing back media? Only tested with divx TV shows downloaded from the web (playback from phones camera seems to be fine.)
Thoughts?
Hrmmm. Not sure. I use MX video player for playback and have been happy. This is mostly for flash video and camcorder on phone, but I haven't tried any divx. For the most part everything is fairly smooth.

I use handbrake to knock mine down to the proper size and have zero issues, I also use mine on the treadmill. Beats the heck out of the TV. I use realplayer
I use mx video player too. It works great but sometimes the video freezes and you have to hit back and select the video again. But that's only on software decoding.
If you convert the video to MPEG you can use h/w decoding which fixes that and seems to make the battery last longer.

MoboPlayer works great for me.
Mx player is great,set to sw fast decode and it run very smooth. It support subtitle,interface is nice and easy to use.

mkv video playback lags

Hi, all. I own xperia Neo V, recently rooted. I use MX player for video playback. There seems to be a lag at random intervals during video playback, especially playing mkv files. During the lag, audio continues to play while video displays as a still picture and then delayed video gets played back at a very fast pace. Then video playback continues fine and then lags with similar issue at another random interval. The lag happens for 5-8 seconds . I would like to know if any workaround for this problem? Does anyone face similar issue?

Hi! What is the resolution of the video? Because the Neo and Neo V screen resolution is only 720p and it won"t play full hd videos, but 720p videos is working well. I have Xperia Neo and it's not playing the full hd vids with any player! The sound goes as it should, bat the screen freezes. Reduce the video size and it will work...
The resolution is 576*432
I tried BSplayer, QQplayer too. all lag at random intervals
I use Moboplayer (the one with a "green triangle on a grey circle" icon), and it plays everything, except full hd vids. The max reslution is 1280x720, but even Quickpic plays too. So i dunno what the problem is... What rom are you using and kernel? Maybe you run out of free memory during playback... Have you download the codec for MX player? When I first install it, it's need the MX Player Kodek (ARMv7 NEON)...
But now I probe one video (1280x720) and Quickpic plays it, I'm able to scrolling too...
I tried Mobo before. One thing that I love about MX is that it's HW acceleration feature is excellent which boost your volume twice, and all other players including Mobo can't match this boost. That's the only reason stopping me to use other apps. Anyways, thanks for hinting Moboplayer, will try it out again. Regarding Quikcpic, I use it only to view my pictures, new used it to play any video.

[Q] Sound lagging in videos, skype, youtube and while playing songs but not in games

A strange problem... bought the GT-P5113 few days ago. It has developed an issue where sound of any audio file or video is not playing properly. Video is playing at a slow rate and audio is just too sluggish. Moreover, the same issue is experienced on youtube app, streaming videos on native browser, playing files through storage, even on "TED" app and during video or audio chat on skype. However, the audio of games I downloaded (Fruit Ninja and Temple Run) is playing fine. System sounds are playing well too. I tried 4 different video players and 3 different browsers. Performed factory-reset twice but still the same issue. Any help? THE "Samsung" support is not doing anything. No rooting performed and no custom roms were installed. At first i thought it was the slow internet speed issue but same problem occurs when playing multimedia file through local storage.
Any help would be much appreciated...
