Choppy video?

I was curious if anyone else is having chopping video performance on a 1080p video? I have 720p videos play fine but 1080p video's stutter every few seconds. Any ideas? Its hard to show off the screen when video playback is poor.

There is no difference between a 720p video and a 1080p video on this phone. The screens not big enough to make a difference. Convert your video to 720p or lower if u want to play it on your phone.

He is correct. Make sure you convert the video to the proper resolution and format for best performance. No need to make the phone work harder to decode video from a format you will not gain from.
Storing 1080p video would only seem to benefit if you intend to use an external display. Are you using an external adapter(usb to hdmi or analog) for playback?

Thanks for the replies. I knew that this was the case. When testing the video capabilities, I downloaded a bunch of random HD video samples. Some 720p some 1080p. The 1080p seems to work flawlessly if I taskill everything but I shouldn't have to do that. I guess I'll just stick to 720p unless I'm hooking up to a TV.

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!

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...

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] Recording Video Other than 3gp?

Hey everyone, got my Inspire 4g yesterday and love it. However, whenever I record video it is only in the 3gp format. Is there an option I am missing to have it record in a h.264 format? Any help would be great.

Old Threat but I am in the same situation. I wonder why my HTC Inspire only record Videos in 3GP format?

Find an app that supports recording in another format. There are a few apps that will record and save in different formats. Mind you the stock video player doesnt play all formats

Is this phone powerful enough to play Full HD videos? 1080p

Is this phone powerful enough to play Full HD videos? 1080p?
If it is, could you play smoothly YouTube 1080p rips? High bit rate .mkv files?
And what player you use for full HD playback?

dont think it will... altough i can play 720p mkv very smoothly with Diceplayer !! did test a couple 1080p which wasnt that smooth....altough i heard that converting into .mp4 results into much better playback because of native support

Of course it can play 1080p videos.
Using the standard Gallery, it can play the 1080p videos that the camcorder records, and it can (so far) play any 1080p MP4 video that I put on the SD-Card or stream from my media server.
There will be some file formats that it won't play, of course, but that's a problem with the format rather than the resolution.
It will also play 1080p MP4 videos through my Sony Bravia TV via DLNA.

abuserkadayf, sjgore, thank you.
sjgore, I see you got HTC Desire too. And it have trouble playing some 720p mkv, never been able to make it play any 1080p. MoboPlayer is the best all around player from point of format support, speed and UI. But there is like a dozen players that based on FFmpeg library around(VPlayer, QQplayer, VitalPlayer, RockPlayer etc...). Was wondering if new generation of hardware is able to support 1080p to the point that there is no need to **** mind about how fast particular video player and choose one solely based on convenience of use and price...

Never tried 1080p on my Desire. 720p was fine, including 720p videos taken using the camcorder in CM6 (720p wasn't in CM7 for some reason).
I haven't even tried any 3rd party players from the Market on the Sensation yet, everything so far has been achieved with what comes built into the phone (ie. just Gallery).

Camcorder 720p clip are H.264 720p Baseline. 1st gen. snapdradon ( QSD8260 ) can play 720p Baseline profile.
but most of 720p/1080p movies are H.264 High profile level 3~5.
If file format is MP4(H.264+AAC), stock player can play .
Many of HD movies are MKV/AVI format and audio codec is AC-3(5.1ch) or DTS or Flac.
ffmpeg base player can not play HD ( 720p/1080p ). Decoding & rendering need too much CPU power.
If you want to play HD(with DTS/AC-3/FLAC + MKV/AVI) clips, use diceplayer.

[Q] Problem playing videos from sensation over dnla to hd tv

Hello
I have a strange problem.
Yesterday I recorded a video(in 720P mode) with HTC sensation, came home, and played it normally on my samsung 40LEC650 HD TV over dnla(allshare), wirelles over phone.
Then I recorded some more videos (in all posiblle resolutions and sizes), tried to play them on tv, and error occurs - video codec not supported.
Then I tried again playing the first video, and it plays normally, just every other doesnt.
All videos offcourse in 3gp format.
What happened?? And what can I do to be able to play all videos?
Bor

I have the same issue. Samsung plasma tv. Video codec not supported on all but a couple of videos. Strange!

I think I ve found out what the problem is. Transfer your videos on to computer and check properties od each one. Check the bitrate and frames per second. It seems that tv doesn't play files with low bitrate or fps.
I ve recorded some videos, and those with bad sunlight (light from surroundings) have lower bitrate and won't play.
I think that's it.
Check YouTube user jemecb Video1- this one plays
Video2 (bad light) - my tv won't play
If anyone knows how to get past this please help
Greeting

There is a cameramod that, while it isn't widely agreed upon that it improves the quality of the image, does increase the bitrate quite a bit in the videos.
So if it's bitrate you need, then try the modded camera from the sensation development forum.
