From what I have gathered the SGS supports a lot more video/audio formats than Nexus S out of the box (correct me if I am wrong). Will it be possible to port these codecs from the SGS over to the NS?
Video Player Nexus S
Helps. Need a video player for Nexus S. I switched from my G2 to this. With the G2, i used ArcMedia and it played pretty much anything without any conversion. Now all i get is FCs on the Nexus S. Sad panda i am right now.

[Q] How to play vidoes/movies on Nexus S?
So i was thinking about watching a movie this afternoon on my brand new Nexus S and started looking for some sort of video player under the appications. Is it true that the phone doesnt come with any kind of Video Player? How do i watch movies? What format to use for the movies? I download all my movies and they're all .avi. All the help, comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.
AVI is just a container. It can hold any kind of codec inside. I heard people reccomend rockplayer is good though. Try that and report back on how it works.
Rockplayer doesn't work. Lots of players crashes on the Nexus S right now. They all need to be updated.

You're right. Nothing works at the moment. Is it true our nexus came with absolutely no video player?

When I try to open a video file from astro, among the choices of program given to me is one called "movies"; this uses the same icon as the "gallery" proram, comes preloaded on the phone, and also fails to open most video formats.
Playing M4P via Meridian and it works great.

Let me look up meridian. I guess I am gonna have to convert from avi to the extension you mentioned.

Gallery is the video player.

So is the issue that the nexus s doesn't come with an xvid codec or that apps with software decoding of the codecs like rockplayer just need to be updated ? Sorry if I'm a little dense about this.
I guess the 3rd party apps need to be updated.

So is there a specific file type that the galley plays? I just created a movie folder with 2 avi files but gallery isn't showing anything other than pictures on the same storage.

M4P is a .h264 container. Most videos on the internet or torrents for phones come in M4P format. Best quality for the size.
Most phones can play M4P right out of the box. YouTube is a big supporter of the container.

quick question regarding the camera, how do you upload videos to picasa.
I went to the gallery and hit menu to get the option to share, but I only see the option there when its photos. I thought you can upload videos also.
I could not find a way to upload on mine. I have just used "Picasa Uploader" from the market. It's free and uploads video and pictures.

Yeah I know.
BTW did you check the videos you uploaded on picasa from your nexus?
I just uploaded one using the same app you said, and it seems that the quality is not the same than that which was taken on the phone. Its a much lesser one.
Is it just me or does the transformer have serious lag when playing high quality YouTube videos full screen? Just got my tablet yesterday and that is really my only complaint so far.
Thanks
yes but not only full screen. I'm getting lag in the smaller window as well
I noticed that there was an update to flash 10.2 yesterday. In the change log it said that hardware acceleration had been added, but requires an upcoming release of Android 3. Hopefully that will cure it.

Same here. I hope they get the video bugs worked out soon. i'm getting annoyed that i cannot watch any HD video in fullscreen.

Same here. Annoying and kind of embarrassing to show it to my friend that has an ipad 2. I hope the HD video will improve as wel.
Edit:
I'm not tying to compete which device is better. I just want to have a device where I can enjoy it.
Does anybody noticed that if you leave the screen untouched for several seconds, when you touch the screen again it won't respond the first touch?
I thought I was the only one, but apparently there are more people with this problem. I have it too in both the smaller and fullscreen window. If you don't touch the device a few seconds it gets better, but there is still at some points a noticeable lag. Very annoying!

Is this using Youtube.com or the Youtube app?

Youtube.com is using the flash player, and this will be a bit stuttery - especially for HD videos. But the App should be using h264 encoded video so playback should be 'native'.
I have had some videos be a bit choppy via the app, but most play fine.
the youtube website works fine for me when viewing up to 420p, anything over that is stuttery.
I'm sure Google will announce an update to HoneyComb in the next week during Google IO

I checked the same video on youtube.com and the youtube app. Youtube app displays the video perfectly well in SD, but in HD it gets a slight lag. On youtube.com it plays well on 480p but above that it gets unwatchable.
I get just a slight stutter in the first 5 sec then smooth HD playback for me on youtube. The "HD" is lit up.

i know what you are talking about.
although its not that it wont recognize the first touch, you just have to touch it .5 ms longer and it will respond. I think its either a power saving mechanism or prevent you from accidental touch on the screen.
It bothered me at first but trust me, after about a week you wont either notice it anymore, you simply get used to it.
could you guys check this video out and see if it lag too.

so which is it, hardware or software that is causing it? I'm tempted to go I pad just cause their ui and multimedia is so fluid. I like androids customizability so another alternative is to see how tegra 3 tablets will perform.
No stutter for me opened in YouTube app and browser HQ button illuminated, using Uk tranny with update.
This may be a more general issue affecting other android phones as well but for a long time now I've had issues playing mp4 format videos. The sound is perfect but the video plays back abominable slow so they are completely out of sync. I wanted to post here to see if anyone else has any ideas on this. I've tried multiple players including rockplayer, moboplayer, stock player, vplayer and many others and I just can't get them to play right. All other formats play without any issues.. flv ..mov ..avi ..xvid..mkv.. all are great.. just not mp4. Please if anyone has any ideas I'd really appreciate a hand with this...thanx!

im not sure if its just because of the hardware on the Thunderbolt but I have the same issues aswell. my workaround is overclocking as well as using good apps like MX Video Player & if you are playing 720P videos check out Dice Player.
Appreciate the response. I'll try out those players as well. What are you overclocking to? I'm usually at about 368 low end and 1.2 high end I think right now using the bamf tools to do it on bamf forever cubed rom.

regardless of the rom, I always set low to 245 and high about 1.2 if its an aosp rom and 1.4 if its sense based. I don't like to go much higher as I've had my battery get very hot and battery life goes down a bit also.

I can't go below 368 on mine or phone will do random shutdowns. I try to use my phone and it was powered off. As soon as I moved it back to 368 never happened again.

Bamf forever cubed settings won't allow me to overclock past 1ghz or very close.. going to look again... Are either of you using setcpu or some other app to overclock?

i use setcpu for all roms(even if they come with bamf settings, cyanogen settings, etc). if it's not letting you go past 1ghz then you'll have to install a kernal that will. i was recently using that bamf soab rom and they had an imogean(sp?) kernal for it in the same thread. you can either check bamf's thread for a specific kernal they recommend or check here on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1249328
Eh just checked setcpu and it does the same... Neither are allowing me to go past 1024000 and minimum is 245768. Not being allowed to clock it past up to 1.4 which is weird because I know I've done so on past Roms.. maybe it's just this rom? I'm using Bamf Forever Cubed with the stock kernel it came with. Any suggestions on why I'm being locked down to a top end overclock of 1024000?..
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium
Sorry just posted my response as you responded.. yeah I have the 3 optional variations of the Imoseyen kernel that works with his rom.. it was a stock, learn and 368 something... Maybe I'll switch and try them out instead...kinda odd being locked down to 1024000 when the phone can handle up to 1.4..

You are wasting your (cpu) time if you are playing anything more than 480p on it. In landscape mode you only have 480 pixels vertically, so playing a higher rez movie means you are making it scale on the fly and probably dealing with a higher bitrate on the source file as well.

personally, I download a lot of shows with my phone and watch them on the phone. Lots of times(especially lately) I will find stuff only available in 720P.
why no tv?... well, when you drive limos you can't always just go back home in between jobs & I don't want to get a big ol' inverter and bring my laptop.
Interesting. I convert a lot of dvds to mp4 format to watch on my phone and have never had any playback issues. Phone running the latest leak, rooted and debloated of coarse. Unfortunately, the AOSP roms don't have nfl network.
I also use system panel to kill all running tasks before playing any videos. All videos are played on Vplayer and I doubt any of them are 720p. Seems like overkill to me.

Currently I'm running Tweaked 2.2, EXT4, and 5/24 PBJ kernel. I'm generally not overclocking, but I've also tried 1.2Ghz.
Video playback on webpages very choppy and unwatchable (I've tried stock browser, skyfire, firefox, boat, opera,etc, etc) . Video's on YouTube play great.
Is it a lack of memory problem? Is everyone seeing the same thing?
Is it with Flash or a mobile stream? I found that Flash usually requires a higher clock speed to play videos efficiently. Have you tried a higher clock speed? What governor are you usong?

Flash videos play just fine for me. Smooth as butter.
Stock kernel, stock clocks, dolphin browser, cache to SD card (very important).

The newer (may releases) PBJ kernels never did work quite right for me. At least in my case, the cache to SD option in dolphin was the difference between smooth and not so smooth. But again, stock kernel, stock clocks.
It really depends if it was optimized for mobile or not. Some Flash content (e.g. Starcraft streams from TeamLiquid) will run very choppy with a painful frame rate (on full screen Flash sometimes complains of "not optimized" ) while other videos (you know what I'm talking about ) will run smoothly because they were "optimized".

Nope, it even said not optimised for mobile.

While i think you're asking a lot out of your hardware by attempting to play a 720p video at such a high bitrate considering the overhead that flash imposes, it got significantly better once the entire video downloaded. Still a relative slideshow for me though. A single 1.0-1.3 ghz processor isn't gonna cut it for a video of that quality without some kind of gpu hardware acceleration somehow. That video will never be completely smooth on this phone.
And when i said flash videos play fine, i clearly meant those that are optimized for mobile. I have realistic expectations for this hardware.
Hey guys, just recieved my tablet in the mail and promptly rooted it. downloaded screencast and when trying to play back a recording its just a black screen with a green stripe. I kind of need this because I run a YouTube channel that depends on screencast so I can do gameplay. I could wait for my GS3 but thats not for another week and a half.
Any insight onto this would help. would changing the build.prop fix this?
Thanks.
I can post screenshots if I need too.
BTW I'm running CM9.
i already opened a topic about this. it's on the 2nd page.
I also need screencast for work. I tried running it on several roms, including CM10.1, sungsonic and an ics based rom. I haven't tried it on stock. I tried with Force GPU rendering ticked and HW overlays disabled and all sorts of other settings combinations but always just the sound works and screen is black. Maybe you can try on stock rom.
Sorry, Like I said I run a YouTube channel so I need to upload videos weekly to the best of my ability.
