[Test] 720p playback + Antibyte 848x480 video recording - Defy Android Development

Thanks to ={antibyte}=-
Works on T-Mobile US Froyo with stock player
Libs come from Android 2.2 Motorola MS2 and ={antibyte}
Install attached zip via ClockworkMod recovery.
Testfile 1280×720 (720p), 23.967 FPS:

As the Defy has a resolution lower than 720p, what would be the benefit of being able to play 720p video; Just not having to convert the video to a more suitable format, or am I overlooking a benefit I have not thought of?
*update* I see antibyte mentiones that video playback is not smooth on 2.1 - is it not smooth on Froyo with this package either?

No need for convert files.
Maybe later we need it if we could 720 Video record enabled.

Err, the description is not clear. ={antibyte}=- says his files are for froyo, and eclair already had 720p codecs. So is it from MS2 or eclair?

i read first that antibyte only test on uk 2.51.
@ 1200 Mhz it is ok. but i think the stock player is not the best will test some players from market.
I will test, copy video file to NAND.
UPDATE: Better video performance if file was copied to NAND

a player with buffering would be better, do you know one?

at least now we can play high profile h.264 videos with resolution 480p.

yes but it uses software decoding so it plays worse than stock player and is not smooth.

True, i have tried with vplayer, but now it is worse than stock player...
I remember that rockplayer had an option for choose between hardware decoding or software decoding. Im going to try this, could be better than stock.

It's only for froyo?

I have tried with stock player this video:
http://www.megaupload.com/?s=seriesyonkis&d=BQKM87PP&confirmed=1
And it runs PERFECT!!!
Details of video:
Resolution: 1280x720
Bitrate: 5827 kbps RUN PERFECT!!!
Format: avi
Size: 852MB
And details of trailer of serenity:
Resolution: 1280x720
Bitrate: 4822 kbps RUN VERY LAGGY!!!!
Format: Mp4
Size: 82 MB
WHY??????
I dont understand nothing :S

first file divx?

you beat me to it.
libs taken from uk2.51&ms2(that i have) have slight problems (random blocks).
I'll try your libs and report back in a few.
Ahhhhhh. Still the same, tearing and blockage on some clips (was fine on 2.51).
I'm gonn try replacing more libs later.

Imtoo HD is best for me, can setup 854x480 full screen.
Sed from my X10i @BKK
With Rockplayer from the Android Market you woun't ever have to convert a video again. It plays all formats including mkv out of the box!
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
I use SUPER ©
Yes use Rockplayer
After second "Rockplayer" - it really does away with having to spend hours converting "most" movies
somebody really still converting?
Yes, I still do it, because movies take less space on my SD card once they are in MP4 (with the right format) instead of original format.
I cannot change movies every nigth, I have to store 6 or 7 for the week... (and music, and pictures, and...)
thank you
thank you guys
i will try it all..
and yaa instead of direct copy i prefer to convert it becoz it take less memory on my SD card thats why
but you can save much time with bigger sd-card an the rockplayer...

So which media player is good to play HD video in MP4 format? Rockplayer or Super?
Guys,
I have tried handbrake to encode and Rockplayer, realplayer beta to playback the below video clip :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJPbozRomX4
With no success and the video become stuck when it reached : 2:44
Let me know if anyone can overcome this problem, thanks.

SUPER is NOT a media player, its a video converter to use in your PC.
on my X10i (unbranded) the SE Mediascape video player plays better than Rock player, the sound is in sync more than Rock player for example.
I have also used "IM TOO" but found it very slow. (1.5 hours to encode a 30 minute episode of Alan Partridge.
I now use WinX DVD Ripper winxdvd d0t c0m (no I dont work for them).
If this is spyware or whatever please let me know, but in encodes a DVD film in 45 mins (even a Disney one with all that special encoding)
My question is....
"what is the ultimate setting for encoding a DVD to MP4 for the X10i?
Please do not reply if you are just guessing, the X10i does not like frame rate 30 for example..
thanks
x2 on using Super as the video convertor. It's free and it offers more features than most other video convertors.
but with RockPlayer (and yxplayer for some files) I no longer need to convert. my 16gb only stores documents, some pictures, and videos but no mp3 since i'd rather listen to streaming internet radio than download mp3s.
the "best" video setting will depend on how you rate video quality. imo, for smoothness and when you are watching movies, i'd go with 23 fps or less, and have high bitrate but reduced resolution (above half the resolution of the lcd display).
video conversion speeds depends mainly on your video converting settings (format, bitrate, resolution, etc.) and your CPU power, not the software.. just fyi.
I am currently using xmedia recode.
I use the settings for the Motorola Milestone when converting, as for some reason the X10 settings mess the audio up.
Pretty quick, and audio/visual sync is spot on
It doesn't matter what to use.
for example, I convert films from my 720p/1080p hd collection, using parameters, such as 854x480 resolution, 160 kbit audio bitrate and 1000-1200 kbit video bitrate.
And it looks like I watch a real hd video! The picture is perfect! Enjoy
Oh, and I noticed, that it's better to use h264 codecs with *.mkv container than mpeg4 with .mp4 and .avi
RockPlayer is the best for my monster-like videos Avatar with 1200 video bitrate and near 2gb file size works without any lags. This is the power of nice program code (thx for RockPlayer devs) with the connection of Snapdragon processor

[Q] No More 720p Playback on Froyo ROMs?

Hi,
I just recently flashed stock leaked UK Froyo. When I tried playing my converted 720p (mp4 format), it's not working anymore. ALL my mp4 720p resolution won't work. When I was still on 2.51/ 2.59, they do play pretty good. No hiccups or what. I dunno why but did Moto removed video codecs? Please help. Thanks.
There was NEVER 720p Playback on any Defy froyos...
Maybe you flashed the 720p playback.zip before you updated your Defy...
If you want to get 720p Playback again just search on XDA itself and flash the .zip with Custon Recovery.

On stock Eclair (SEA 2.51/2.59 or UK 2.51), you CAN play 720p in mp4 format. I converted some videos to 720p mp4 format at a video bitrate of 2000-3000kbps and it plays very well. I have never flashed to any custom roms or updated playback.zip or anything. I only use stock.
Anyway, thanks for the post above. Will try it later.
Nice.already tried & it works. Thanks.

Playing 1080p MKVs over HDMI

How well does this operate on the sensation? How smooth is the playback of 1080p MKVs? Also, can I play this on rockplayer for example or diceplayer and connect it up to my TV and watch it over HDMI?
Thanks.
Really? No-one?

Well I'm not sure if you know this but there are currently no accessories for MHL that can be utilized in the Sensation. Therefore, it can't be connected to a TV yet which explains why nobody is answering your question. Wait for the MHL dongle to come out and I'm sure people will start saying something.
trying to play 720p mkv just on the phone and its dropping alot of frames.
Tried QQ player and rockplayer but still not enough power to decode the movie in software.
May have to convert the file to mp4 to allow the hardware acceleration!
will try over the weekend and let you know
As of yet, nothing can play MKV's properly I don't think even the SGS II can.

It can. I've just played a 720p MKV and it handled skipping, pausing etc like any other .avi file.
Sorry. Didn't read the title. OP was asking about 1080p. Not sure if I have any 1080p things to play.

I'll test this and get back to you later. I'm sure I've got a 1080p mkv somewhere on my PC.
I'm pretty sure the Sensation's software isn't optimized. I think when we see some custom ROMs (e.g. Android Revolution by mike1986) we may be able to play MKV's
I can play 720p and 1080p mp4 (h.264 High Profile at any bitrate + AAC) videos without any stuttering, using hardware acceleration.
MoboPlayer and DicePlayer can play 720p and 1080p MKV but with some little stuttering.

Just tried moboplayer with my 720p test MKV file and it does play alot better than rock player but still not at full speed.
This may be due to the bitrate of my MKV file though (5500kbps)
EDIT:
Tried the trial of diceplayer and it plays my 720p MKV file perfectly

Thanks a lot for testing that out, much appreciated. A lot more useful than the guesstimates made by others in this thread.
My Sensation was unable to play a 720P 60fps H.264 8 Mbit MP4 perfectly smoothly in the stock Movies application. Playback on the SGS2 was noticeably smoother, even from a USB key. I will try it with Diceplayer... VPlayer was even worse though.
EDIT: Seems to playback reasonably well in Diceplayer, and perhaps a little bit smoother in Rockplayer. This could all be placebo though!

your test file is mp4. so rock or stock or any other player works same way.
(using embedded media player module)
if you test MKV/H.264-High/DTS or Flac encoded files, you can find differences.
MKV is just a container for MPEG-4 in most cases. I don't see your point.

point is mkv container is not recognised by the sensation default video player, so although the video stream should be played back via hardware decoding it is not.
Most other players that do recognise .mkv files use software decoding, which is fine for AVI (DivX/XviD) or low bitrate h264 files, but at higher bitrates the frames start droping.
Diceplayer is good because after it splits the MKV audio/video streams it recognises that the h264 video stream can be decoded via hardware, this allows much higher bitrates to be played smoother and should consume less battery as the cpu is not thrashing its nuts off.
It may be that in a future software update MKV are supported by the default player, as it is on the SGS2
I wonder if Android Revolution HD or CyanogenMod could play 1080p MKV with Diceplayer or similar, on the Sensation. Would be utterly fantastic if they could!
I'd like to see playback on an OC'd sensation/gs2

Playing high resolution video?

Which is the best player to view video in high resolution without to convert them or stuff like that!
I already overclocked it on 1.5 GHz but i can not play 1280x720 videos fluently!
I heard that the SGS 2 can play 1920 fluently out of the box, dont know if its true!
I'm currently on 3.0.1! Is there a difference on 3.1?
Hi oaz1,
Did you make high profile video work OK now? I am also very interested to make at least 720p high profile video work on my Xoom.
Have you tried Tiamat Kernel with both CPU and GPU overclock? Are you using software or hardware video decoding?
FYI, I am running stock 3.2 image.

I've been using mx video player. It plays 720p files without a problem.
Buy dice player...
Install Mobo Player and QQ Player, and then buy Dice Player, it plays high profile 720p H264 without a hitch. You can also use XenonMKV to convert the audio in your high profile videos (without re-encoding video) and play them back in the stock player without issues. Takes about 15 minutes to convert and rebuild a 2 hour movie on my laptop, video is untouched in the process. I did that once, but it's much easier (and well worth the ~$5) to buy Dice Player.

[Q] Can someone upload a 10s MP4 format movie?

I am really desperate to get sensation next month.. My only concern is its recording in 3GP format which None of the HD media players support..
I want to play an Mp4 format movie on my HD media player. I heard Sensation car record in mp4 now after 2.3.4 update..
Just a short 720p and 1080p (5-10seconds) video is enough to test it..
Thanks
I just recorded a video at 1080p and it only does 3GP - no option to change to MP4
Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078414
Then why is it so that few members Here said they could record videos in Mp4 format?
Do i have to install a custom Rom to get that option?
Possibly, I'm using my own ROM based on the XE RUU and recording at 1080p does it in 3GP. Whether using lower quality uses MP4 I don't know
T-Mobile USA Rom has been changed to MP4 for recording format. I'll see if I can upload a quick video to mediafire.
There you go.

Hey thanks that really helped... Its playable on my HD media player..... Cant play those 3GP video ****ty formats... I dont know why HTC adopted that? they should have realized that we watch HD movies on TV with Mediaplayers. No on PC everytime...
Should I consider that the same codec will be ported to other stock roms aswell?
btw... u had to record a pixeled video of tv.. for first second i got scared that it has such a bad quality recording then my eyes fell on TV frame..
Is that an indoor video taken in low light? I know all mobiles mess up recording indoors... but I expect sensation's Video quality to be equal or maybe better than SGS2 atleast...
I know in stills sgs2 is better but Video looked quite the same in both sets in youtube video samples..
