Is it me or does youtube quality sux with the tab? I even made the default play at hq ans it still sux. Is there another setting that I'm missing?
Have you downloaded the latest youtube app?
Over wifi and 3g, or both?
I use Youtube Mate and the quality is fairly good over wifi, if over 3G it sucks yeah, unless if I download the video in hight quality format.

i only use wifi (don't have a 3g plan). i've seen similar threads on this but some people say their youtube hd is great.
im have'n this same issue... over wifi aswell... youtube on my evo looks way better
I am having issues on youtube as well.. But not the app.
When I play youtube using either the browser or dolphin hd,
They both play fine but if I press the full screen on the flash video that is
Playing, it would play in full screen but very stuttery. When I do the same on my evo
4g, it plays the full screen video from the browser just fine. No stuttery.
Both connected to wifi btw.
Any ideas?
it looks better on the evo because the screen on the tab is much higher resolution

but is the stuttering videos on my tab caused by resolution difference as well?
I think the stuttering is more an issue of adobe's flash being resource hungry than anything. I see similar behavior when playing flash video on most netbooks/nettops, some older desktops and even some modern low spec laptops. Adobe flash is just horribly inefficient with resources.
Hopefully with gingerbread there will be more options.
Are you able to try playing it in the browser instead of via the youtube app?
i seems to get better video quality when i go to mobile web site. instead of using the app

Yes i had smooth 720p playback from the youtube mobile site until now as well. But suddenly it opens up the video player instead and now the quality is horrid. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
Edit: it is still working in the stock browser and xscope, just not in miren.
seriously!
Are you guys totally blind?!...Or hired by samsung/google to cover up this flaw?
Yes, I'm talking to the people that actually can't see the problem.
We are missing out bigtime on video quality as long as this doesn't get sorted. And no living soul wants to be forced over to the stock browser for anything.
Follow 3-step procedure to get enlightened:
1. Go to youtube.com with the stock browser(yes, the stock browser sucks, but it illustrates the problem). You will be directed to a mobile youtube site, search for "720p" or something and find a nice hd video, now play it and watch it for a little while. You will see that it looks great! And it shows that the tab has some nice potential.
2. Open your youtube app(old or new version, problem affects both). Find the exact same video and start playing. Even make sure that you have the high quality setting on.
3. Compare!
Now you should come to this conclusion: stock browser actually wins and youtube app loses
If you can't see the difference you really really need to get glasses. Watching youtube using the stock browser is crispy clear, and the youtube app makes the screen look frosted in comparison.
My theory:
The youtube app is not made for such a high resolution screen just yet. While the stock browser is.It totally sucks and should be fixed asap!
It really truly looks 100% identical to me. Watched Star Trek 720p trailer from stock browser and youtube app. Look the same. Tmobile.

Are you 100% sure? Because it's a major difference on my tab. And I've tried countless videos. I can spot the difference from 2 meters away even
And yes, I'm on a wifi connection (don't really know if 3G is worse)

Before reading your thread I did the same experiment
Extremely disappointing... One more reason for me to be disappointed by the Tab...
Hopefully gingerbread will solve this
No offence intended to anyone, but if you cant notice the difference its because you dont have attention to detail, or an eye for quality, i cant stand watching stuff in the youtube app, it looks perfect in portrait mode with high quality, problem is its strecthing that resolution across landscape, if someone can some how edit the resolution of the video its downloading that could fix the problem, easier said that done i suppose
I just use jet video, download it and watch it in 720 :/

Hi guys, i just got my transformer and I love it but I have a little problem, HD videos in youtube app stutters!! t is not a connection problem, on my computer they play perfect, and anyway I let it load it the whole video to avoid connection problems.
The video still stutters, sometimes it plays full framerate, but the second after it is jerky!!
Anyone have the same problem?
Should I return it?
MP4 720p in video player just play fine...
PS: I also noticed i have some LCD backlight bleed problem... awwww man...
If hd flash is important it might not be the best solution.
Could wait and hope for a fix, but the tablet market is moving fast, always a risk companies will move on to the next gen product.
So far Tegra 2 + honeycomb seems not ideal, after all the hype?

Not got that problem. Does it still stutter for you via the browser as well?
Mine used to pause a few times when watching videos in the Youtube app but this appears to have been fixed with the latest firmware update.

No yputube app does not use flash, in fact i uninstalled FlashPlayer from tablet to be sure of that.
I have the same issue. Coming from a Xoom I noticed it almost immediately. If there is stock soon, I will go to the store and have it replaced. Otherwise I might just return it. There are things I can deal with, stuttering video is not one of them.
Better to wait for Tegra 3 devices in August ?

Or 4 more months after that, until 2012 and get something better! or keep waiting until 2014 and get the best one in their roadmap!

Actually once it can do 1080p high profile, I could care less what is coming out since it would be the complete package. A Tegra 3 device seems like it could be the one. Definitely selling my Transformer and getting a Tegra 3 tablet when it comes out.
I think the problem is related to the youtube app, i had a trip to a local store with an Iconia A500 and played with it a bit. It had the same problem, i doubt a replacement would do the trick. i suppose an OTA update with a revised version of the youtube app or some tweak should be enough.

If thats the case then I don't mind at all, but it's something that I'd like to know *officially*. It's not something that has to be fixed immediately, but I'd like to know that the issue lies with the app and not my hardware.
Edit: But, at the same time, I didn't think many other people were having the same issue.. ?
stuttering playback was an initially known issue with honeycomb. Like someone else mentioned though, the firmware seemed to resolve that issue. Might want to make sure you have the latest and greatest version.

ya mines the US version of the 20110423.. first thing I checked.
It just crummy because my buddy loved my Xoom, especially the Youtube app (hes got a relatively large presence on youtube) and when he went to watch one of his videos (G20 Battle of Toronto) it was stuttering. It's like it will be smooth for a few seconds then get choppy . The audio never skips a beat though.
Just noticed a flash update on the market. Don't know if it'll help you or not. Looks like its now out of beta or something. I didnt really read it all before i installed it. Version 10.2.156.12.
Edit: Bah the irony. Now I'm getting the stuttery video. I wasnt before.

I know i read somewhere that asus was working with google on it. Maybe they still havent completely ironed it out yet. Remember, its still early for honeycomb...
how do you set the youtube app to 720p? i only see an option for HD

Not the best video footage but its my first time using the camera and uploading straight to youtube. Pretty good for a damn phone.
(My theory behind the software bugs: THIS PHONE WAS PROBABLY INTENDED TO BE RELEASED WITH 2.3. Just competition and other factors may have pushed the early release. We are guaranteed an update, so just chill out. They probably just threw 2.2 on there to be safe and didnt give it much time for testing. And with CM7 and other stuff on the way why even worry? Go ahead and return the best phone out right now regardless of software bugs. More fun for me! /rant)
Also, can anybody get the embedding to work? The YouTube tags aren't working.

the stock player can play the .mkv wrapper. but not all .mkv's will be compatable there isnt just one .mkv codec. i plan to mess with transcoding some movies and report what works for me. the infuse has similar (better) hardware to the iphone so playback of similar files should be posible, that's not to say there isnt a difference in the os or player that gives the iphone an advantage.
.mkv files work and the built-in video player has full support for even L5.1 High profile 720p h.264 video (5.5Mbps, CABAC). Weirdly enough, I can't get FLAC contained in mkv to play and AAC-LC is a mixed bag (some play, others don't). AC3 works great though; I haven't run into a single failure.
Boo it won't work for me :-(

I also use rock player, when is vlc releasing their android app? Also I know the infuse screen is big and all, but do you really need an .mkv and HD on such a small screen? I'm sure an xvid encoded movie would look just as good a screen this size and the distance at which you watch it.

No, don't need the HD-ness, it's more of the fact that I download them for my WDTV live HD as MKV and it'd be nice to have a player that I can play them without having to mess with converting them.

No problems for me so far... plays everything I throw at it without issues so far.. including mkv files.
Moboplayer (ARMv7-Neon optimizations) is quite good, even in software decoding mode. Seeking can get noticeably laggy but overall it's a good experience, at least coming from Rockplayer and mVideoPlayer. Subtitles and audio (including FLAC) work well most of the time in hardware accelerated mode and software decoding is not bad for a single core 1.2GHz phone.

Dice Player. Yes, you have to pay for it, BUT the picture/playback and sound sync actually make the phone work properly (for me at least). I went through 10 players over 3 months to find it.

Yes, it is obvious. I'm just extremely disappointed that the stock video player is so bad, it can't even play some of the files that HTC states it should.

I purchased the Atrix 2, and tested out playing tv shows using various video players through HDMI mirroring and each video file on every video player resulted in jerky video playback. Plays fine on phone, even plays fine on original atrix using hdmi and video playback mode.

Guess the Atrix 2 just isnt as good as the first one. Unless your tv just cant handle that substantial upgrade you made, and now you are forced to upgrade your TV.
On a serious note now, try restarting your phone.. Install take killer and see how much ram you have to play with. Or you just might have to wait for a update from Moto. Could be some codec hardware/software issues. Good luck!

I demuxed the video files and the video plays 100% smooth with NO audio. I am converting the audio to mp3 to see if the video will play fine with that codec.
File with mp3 audio didnt even play but I converted the aac audio from 48hz to 44hz and that made a difference. File with 48hz noticeably had alot of frame jumps while file with 44hz still had frame jumps but it didnt have that many. Both files look fine on phone. Problem is while mirroring.

Ok so I just tried HDMI Mirroring and it works flawlessly granted you really need to reformat the videos to an acceptable format considering I tried to watch a non formated .mkv video and because of the compression of that video type it did stutter a bit. .avi has a slight issue with Not actually playing at least the one I attempted anyway. .mp4 played perfectly with no issues at all. Will let you know if I figure out any tricks for optimizing videos.
Edit: Yea ok so after playing with Multiple Videos it seems that it depends on the compression of the video as far as I can tell, considering I just got a bunch of Other .avi's to function with no issues at all. So yea seems video related.

All the files I tested were video files I already converted to work with my Atrix, which works on my atrix perfectly fine using the Entertainment Center feature of the original Atrix. The files also work perfectly fine on the SGS 2 mirroring. The files play perfectly fine on the Atrix 2 with the exception of mirroring, the frames jerk randomly. I removed the audio from the video file and it worked perfectly. I tried playing a low res divx and it still did the frame jumps.
