Hi, i was planning to buy the Xperia j but i was wondering if it can play 720p videos using MX player etc?? Thanks.
Xperia Miro really lags while playing 720p.
As of compability it opens even 1080p MKV (But of course you can not watch anything because of lag).
J has only 200Mhz better processor
It will be lag of course
Based on my test, it only support main profile for hardware decoding up to 480P.
*My device is Miro
80% it won't lag but 2 to 4 seconds it lags here and there !:/

Hey guys i just want to ask if any of you have tried playing 1080p or even 720p videos on the nexus s because im running on slimbean 3.0 marmite kernel and I used bs player to play HD videos but it will not be a smooth playback... does anyone have any idea on how to make the playback be smooth? Poor maybe this is hardware limitation?

Use MX player. 720 is fine.

Try MoboPlayer

If you haven't come across any solutions, I'd suggest Dice Player.
I've tried VLC player and it runs HD videos smoothly and amazingly. It's still in BETA but it's amazing. I'd give it a try, it's free so you won't be losing anything. It also plays any format and you can use it to listen to your music. Another cool feature is it allows you to stream videos on it.

I don't know if BS Player has the option but use MX Player and while your video is playing, choose SW Decoding, since HW decoding makes the video stutter

Try diceplayer, it renders 720p decoding perfectly

And another issue.
Whitch kind of videos is best for the J??
Hd? Mp4 HD? Mp4 720p?
Becase the firmware video is awersome, but i cant find the same format for this quality.

well you can enhance the quality (not resolution). if you are interested see my thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2121645
Just share my experience although mine is Xperia Miro.
The device is capable to hardware decode PSP MP4 video(480P), H264 Main Profile @3.0.
720P videos that required software decoding are varies from case to case, it maybe smooth or lag if the video bitrate is high.

If by firmware video you mean the 'Xperia HD Landscapes' video, it was encoded at 854x480 resolution in baseline profile with a good bitrate.
In my opinion, the best settings are the same used in the landscape video.
Main profile skips frames at a high bitrate. So don't use the main profile.
And regarding HD videos, J relies on software decoding which in truth is not enough. So even if you try HD videos, go for a low bitrate.
Guys any one knows how to play 720p videos on xperia j ??

try mx player! last option is to convert the video!

Yup, this is the best video player I have ever used, just install the player and the codec from GPlay (all free) and it will play everything you throw in!
P/s: you may need to find some extra codec and copy them manually to your device to play some file (in my case, it's .mkv)

mx player will run 720p videos but i dont think it can run it smoothly there will be many lags while video playback due weak gpu
Forget all that. The video will play properly with the correct resolution (mine is tipo) so 480x320 mpeg4 at least 1600kbps aac Lc 48khz 128kbps is already looks so good. Why waste your microsd size just to show your laggy 720p? Better show off high quality properly converted .mp4 file. And if you want to watch movies, obviously that 720p video size is bigger.

What app are you using? Mx with proper codec works fine for me. Software rendering or hardware?
Have you tried both?

Can't say I watch too much 1080 video on my phone (do most of my video watching on my Note 8 tablet), but MX Player is what I use too.
The HTC stock player has always been a joke. Its not compatible with a lot of formats/codecs, I've never really made any use of it aside from watching the videos I've taken with the phone's video camera. In general, I've never been much a user of stock players from any manufacturer. There is always going to be incomplete format support and/or performance lag. I'm guessing its due to licensing of various proprietary formats/codecs. Good 3rd party players are the way to go on Android.
Why the stock player lags now on Sense 5, when it didn't before, I can't say for certain. Lots has been updated in Sense 5, but HTC seems to break as many things as they fix sometimes. So this may be one of those cases. I haven't read about this issue before, so there is likely no easy fix.
What plays major role in playing hd videos on smartphones. Is it the cpu , the gpu or the screen resolution. On a desktop pc the gpu plays a vital role in playing hd videos. But i dont know if its the same on smartphones. Playing hd videos on my lg E610 Is very terrible even using mx player. The phone is equiped with an 800Mhz cpu and an adreno 200 gpu all paired with 512mb ram. I dont know the screen resolution. So please what play the major role in playing hd videos on smartphones. Is it gpu, cpu or the screen resolution .

It's same with the Smartphones.
Probably you might be playing in SW decoder.
If your chipset supports hardware acceleration for the particular codec, It can be played with HW & HW+ (if supported). Both will be smooth. If your device don't have native decoders then it will try SW. In SW everything is done CPU. So, it may lag when CPU speed is not enough to decode.
Most of the modern devices can play 1080p video smoothly in HW & HW+.

So please in this situation of a smartphone being able to play 1080p videos what plays the vital role in hardware decoding.

Hardware decoding means it use graphic card. Adreno 200 can't decode 1080p video and your cpu clock rate is really low for decoding high quality videos.
Thank you so much . Well yiu right adreno 200 is a ****y gpu.
