[Q] Question about movie format - HTC Sensation

I just have a quick question on movie formats and such for phones. As I've been reading for months, the HTC Sensation 4G is supposed to have a screen that is 16:9, which eliminates the need for the "black bars" in movies.
However, I've put two movies on the phone and both of them had the black bars, but played flawlessly. I was just wondering what I was doing wrong. Does the movie have to be a specific format to fit the phone perfectly (without just stretching it out to fit on the video player itself).

Maybe your movie itself has the black bars?

It depends on the aspect ratio of the movie you are watching. Many films are 2.39:1 and so you will have black bars. Some 1.85:1 films will fill the screen depending on how they were issued. All HD TV content is 16:9 and will fill the screen.

I have an issue with playing a movie on the Sensation...
Movie is in Real Media format.
During playback, it was slightly laggy...
Also after playing for a while, it quits itself.
No force close msg or watsoever just out of the movie.
Tried several players still the same.
Movie plays fine on PC and my other phone Incredible S.
Anyone got this problem also or any solution?

Problem with audio cutting out during avi videos

I'm having an issue with audio just completely stopping while watching TV show episodes on the sensation. But when I watch blu-ray rips, its perfect. Anyone else experiencing sound issues while watching videos. (the shows are avi formats, and the site says that the sensation supports avi)

not getting 30 fps on my video camera 1080p or 720p

when i use windows media player im getting max 22fps on all modes i just got my phone today! should i exchange it?
It might have something to do with the memory card. It'll probably work better if you have a class 10 card that capable of real time hd recording.
I'm pretty sure that's a wmp thing. Have you tried any other media players?

Yep. Try this: http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/
It is the only app which don't lag while playing 1080p MKV file. I have tried VLC etc. And yes, it will record 30fps.

MPC is great, you can check real time FPS by pressing CTRL + J shortcut when viewing video.
I'm curious to see actual fps, esspecialy on fast moving scenes or objects so please post results with info about SD card class...

Video Player

Is there a video player that auto rotates?
I prop my sensation up on my desk and I want to be abel to charge the phone while watching videos.
Dice Player is what your looking for.... Auto rotate and can play HD MKV video files.... Costs 4 bucks..... Worth every cent

+1 totally agreed

Any good FREE media player?

I want a good media player that can handle divx and MKV files. I heard about diceplayer, but its not free. Is there a good free player or thats the only option?
rockplayer works well for me, but there is a limit it can handle, i think 720p mkv is the highest...dont quote me on that tho, i dont watch a lot of HD mkv's on my fone, thats what my lappy is for
720P is fine for me.. thanks!
I really like Vplayer
I currently use moboplayer but I'm not sure if it meets your needs.
I heard mobo player is best. I have it as well

giving mobo a shot now, i really like the interface...lets put it through its paces
EDIT* wow..just wow...i stand corrected, go with mobo player, its f'ing sick, really slick interface, and the controls are superintuitive and unobtrusive
I use Vplayer because Moboplayer gives me audio issues on some MKV files.

try this one
MX Video player is great, is supposedly optimized for dual core and has hardware acceleration enabled. it has played everything i've tried.. u might like it. free version has ads but you won't see them if you have a modified hosts file

Vplayer was my favourite until the developer went against his original statement of it will always be free and then changed it to a paid app.
MoboPlayer has played every video i have ever had my my Sensation (and previously DHD) without any problems.

I had a couple MKV's that it wouldn't produce sound for. I wish it played everything I threw at it because the interface looks better than Vplayer.

Sensation Hdmi out

Sooooo I just bought the micro USB to hdmi adapter dongle so I could output video from my sensation to my TV. sadly the quality for videos and pictures is not as good as I was hoping; there's a little too much noise and cookies just aren't very crisp. Are there any drivers I can flash to increase the quality? Or, are the drivers in ice cream sandwich better? Any info appreciated

What resolution are the videos you're trying to play?
Just standard YouTube videos and such. even pictures alone there's that noise where the color just doesn't look quite right. Really hard to explain

I bought one and it worked great on my LCD tv. Netflix and games, YouTube, everything works well. But at a Hampton Inn, the tv kept resetting the HDMI interface. The phone kept playing the movie, etc. But the TV wouldn't play the video.
I suppose the interface of the TV is hosed 'cause its a hotel model and needs to fail if it's stolen.
