Please take a look at the screen resolution between each device... there's your answer.

I dont think its that simple, if the video is encoded at 720p and is of a large size and bitrate it should still be as challenging to play, even if its not using all of the reso.
The bigger question is who is playing it? Is the app really optimized to be running on the dual core tegra? I havent had a chance to because my TF isnt arriving tomorrow but I handbraked some 720p files that i have run through my Evo with no problems so we shall see how the recoded videos work with the stock player compared to MKVs through a 3rd party player.

Also are both running off the same SD card.

Because Exynos is superior to Tegra 2.

Still blows my mind that they're going to use Tegra 2 in the Galaxy 10.1 tablet.

Samsung said they couldn't produce enough Exynos so even some of their SGS2 phone have to switch to Tegra 2. That's why the 10.1 can't get the Exynos

I dont know about the sgs2, but my Epic has built in Divx codex for playing video. The Tf may not have the same codec pack or asus is usiing some proprietary software that isnt utilizing the tegra well.

Its not about the res I think tegra 2 is a joke cuz its really slow if u compare it with sgs 2 prossesor I wish samsung change its plan with there tab and make there new tabs with better cpu

The tegra 2 is a joke? Well, mines sailing along at 1.6ghz right now and makes all the previously mentioned look bad. Unhappy with your transformer or galaxy tab?

It would take more work to decode a 720p video and reencode it at a lower resolution on the fly. It's the tegra 2 and honeycomb combo. Tegra 2 can handle 1080p just not high profile h264.

I saw this in a YouTube review. The TF had studdery video and the Xoom did not. They both have Tegra 2 processors so I don't think these the problem.
I'm personally hoping its software related and crossing my fingers that HC 3.1 will solve the problem.

optimus 3d vs galaxy s2 Comparison

here a Comparison between these two giants - but i have surprised when he played the flash clips on both - look at the 3:01 and give your opinion why it's too choppy on O3d ??

yes it's smooth but why would you want to play 1080p videos on a phone?

Can't be smooth at 1080p, only GS2 can, at the moment

Owning a GS2 also I have tried lots of 1080 and 720 and really on such a small screen you really can't tell much difference in quality.

you can't notice difference between 480p to 720p and 1080p on the phone

Of course the screen on our phone is 480p (800x480) so any higher is a bit useless

Did you try it yourself? Cause I did, Big Buck Bunny 1080p and Avatar 1080p trailer both run smooth as silk. There are video's on Youtube showing the O3D playing high profile 4.1 720p mkv and 1080p mkv which is pretty impressive in my opinion. Haven't tried playing 1080p mkv myself yet but will today.
The GS2 is an incredible phone but not the only one that can do incredible things anymore.

yes...we are all referring 1080p IN FLASH CONTENT,SO DURING THE NAVIGATION WITH THE BROWSER...Not with a dedicated player...

Largo79 asked "@ik911 Are you able to play Youtube 1080p vidz smoothly?" to which ik911 replied he could and then you said only GS2 should be able to. Now I could be wrong and you didn't directly reply to ik911 but I got the impression you did so I just told you Youtube 1080p content does play smooth on my O3D.
NO NEED TO SHOUT LIKE AN IDIOT over something like that...

you are an idiot instead..

Right, you clearly have no idea what I was replying to so I'm not gonna bother having this discussion with you.
I have no trouble playing embedded video, playing more than two at a time like in that review does make the players choppy which could be a Froyo vs. Gingerbread issue or just a raw power issue but who would play multiple embedded video's anyway on such a small screen (or any screen for that matter)?

Someone asked whats the point of playing 1080p on a small screen? Well when u have ur phone connected to an HDTV then it comes in handy being able to play 1080p or 720p videos

[Q] Hd 1080p movies dont play smoothly

I want a video player or a tweak that can make my optimus 3d play 1080p without small stutters.
Te build-in cannot do this, although its close.
I use hdmi to view the video on tv and the stutters are really noticeable.
I have a genuine class 10 microsd card, so i dont think its the card.

I dont know exactly but this phone cant handle 1080p 3D natively, i mean cant decode video 3D at 1080P, just simulate that 3D...
And wait for Gingerbread or overclock kernel, maybe you get better performance.

yes he can... played lot of 1080p 3D mkv and was so smooth...

Its not 3d. Its a regular 1080p movie.

tell me the bitrate

Probaly quite high. How can i check this on the phone?
I only download quality

put the video on pc,download mediainfo and check the bitrate.

Il check it tonight but isnt there a app that has a bit more accelerating power then the stock video player?
Because im not going to convert my videos.

Try V-player.

Mine plays very smoothly on my phone and computer,no lag at all,maybe your phone is faulty.

i tried rockplayer and it has desame performance as the stock player.

[Q] HD on Fit ?

Is there a player that can play hd 1080p or 720p on fit? I ask because I installed Mobo Video Player and realised that it plays video via processor, and not via GPU. Is there some player that plays video via GPU?

Nope. Fit has an adreno 200 gpu which basically sucks.

What is a good enough processor for HD Movies

Hi there,
What processor should I get if I want my tablet to play most of Full HD movies out there, in any codecs? How come a FHD video file can be played flawlessly on a PC with dualcore processor, but cant on a tablet?
Thanx

I'm guessing because of screen resolution. What tablet do you own?

Hi,
Sorry for not being clear, I am going to purchase my 1st tablet, so I need to ask this question
I will likely purchase a tablet with high res screen (approximately FHD).

I can play 1080p 3D video fine on my mk802 which has a single core arm cpu running at 912 mhz using ice cream sandwich.
Maybe better option would be to give an idea of how much you can spend and what sort of uses you want from a tablet (eg gaming) and then people could recommend the best featured tablets that suit your budget?

Hi,
Thank for your suggestion. My main usage is as follows:
Watch 1080p movie in various formats and codec, source is shared via network driver (DLNA or streaming using VLC), output to TV.
A good audio output and screen with 200+ pixel density
Checking email, facebook, read news etc.,
Video Chatting with my family.
Game and other apps (no need for hardware-killer games)
Price as low as possible, of course
