Hi all.
My question sais it all.
I have been having the Tf101 for two years now and still am fund about it.
The only thing is....can't play my recorded vacation movies i made with my former Samsung S3 en current S4 phone.
Not fun when showing your pictures but can't play the film.
Now i was wandering...does the TF300T play my recorded vacation film?
Thx in advance

what video format does the s4 use for recorded videos? usually it's mp4 i think so the tf300 (and the tf101 too) should be able to play.
but that's just native support (hardware decoding)
just download a video player from player (mx player is my favorite), and it will play all video formats for you (software decoding)

Hi.
Yes it is indeed mp4.
But my Tf101 does not pay it properly.
The film stutters and sound stops.
Even with mx player and dice player.
I was hoping that the TF300t would play mp4.
Gives me a reason to buy it and the wife won't bother
Can anyone else confirm that TF300t can play mp4?

Try enabling the S/W decoder in your settings in MX Player. That always made my videos play better.

Boo. Well, I've played mp4 files from my Dropbox & I haven't had a problem. Hm, I'm not sure what it can be. I can't think of anything unless maybe you have apps open in the background, but I'm sure you've checked that. When you play the video files on your CPU, do they play well? I know I had a problem with my old phone where it would record mp4 files, but the video & sound were out of sync & the video skipped frames. It turned out to be a CM9 thing. So maybe it's the video file itself?

Hi.
I don't have any apps running.
I am running a team EOS Rom that's working fine.
The Rom before this also did not play mp4 also.
By the way...that was liquidsmooth.
Pc does play everything perfect!
Could it be the Rom?

I'm not sure what it can be. I just tried playing an mp4 file 2 minutes ago and it played fine on my TF300T. I'm running Paranoid Android. I had CROMi before PA, and it played fine on that ROM as well. I'm out of ideas. :banghead:

I think I found the issue.
By coincidence i opened a mp4 file that had a lower resolution then my vacation movies.
That plays very well.
But all my vacation movies are 1920x1080.
The TF101 and the TF300T both have a 1280x800 screen.
So I think they both won't play my movies

That's a very good possibility. It might be using pushing the device more because of it. I've never tried playing a file that big. If the smaller resolution files play well, then what you mentioned is a good possibility. Try converting the files & load them to you tablet again.

I think I will have to do that.
But it will take some time to convert all files.
Or buy a tablet that supports the files

i downloaded a few 1080p music videos from youtube and my TF300 plays them smoothly using the gallery app (meaning hardware decoding),
so i think it may just be because the TF101 for some reason can't handle 1080p but the TF300 can (maybe because of that tegra 2 chip instead of tegra 3 in TF300) [i think it's like the ipad 1 couldn't play 1080p either, but ipad 2 can]
i never like converting video files because it takes a lot of time and you don't get the "original" quality
so yeah i guess you should just buy a tablet that can play these files instead of converting,
but i don't recommend the tf300

Thanks for bothering to see if it works.
I wanted to ask if someone would download a mp4 1080p film to see if it worked. But thought that would be to much to ask
Ik don't like to convert either.
So your post helps me to decide what is will do.
I think I am going to look for a TF300T.
Thanks a lot.

i never used custom rom so i can't really tell but people reported with a custom rom it's fast,
but still you shouldn't buy it because right now it's already outdated imo,
i don't know which one to recommend but i think the NEW asus transformer pad infinity (not the old tf700 last year) is very good, and rumors say it's going to be $400, that's a good value, but you have to wait (like months), and i guess by the time it's on sale samsung and other companies probably will have a lot of tablets too.
so in short, if you really need a tablet right now, i don't know which one to recommend because most are kinda outdated.
for the best value you could get the nexus 10 though
personally i don't think i'll buy an android tablet again in the next few years because i like the ipad better (and i like android phones better than iphones)

Here it was about 1/2 the price of a Nexus 10 - nothing was in its ball park for price a couple months ago when I bought the TF300, it was more a choice between the Nexus 7 and this tablet.
Played a 1920x800 mp4 fine, even seeking was fast. Probably still not as strenuous as the file the OP was asking about though.

The Flash 10.3 Update that I just downloaded seems to make HQ videos run better in YouTube. Not perfect, but much better than the jerky starts and stops I got before. Anyone else notice this?
Just upgraded Asus update and the 10.3 flash... No better at all here on youtube, still have to watch normal mode... Really disappointed in this when got the pad 2 weeks ago played them fine... So what gives?

The iPad2 can't play flash video so why are you comparing the iPad playing it's native format (mp4 h.264) using it's native player to the Transformer running flash doing soft-decoding of h.264?
Any reason people aren't using the built-in youtube app?

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.

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

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.

Hi guys!
I'm planning to buy the TF101, but I'm not sure about a couple of things.
Can it actually play 1080p videos? Or 1080p YouTube videos? Is the YouTube app streams over 1080p?
Or we must open the browser if we want to watch it in high resolution?
How many hours it usually lasts with watching videos?
Is it fine with the stock ICS, or I have to switch ROMs in order to get a decent tablet?
I would greatly appreciate an input from those who have the TF101.
If u buying new, rather get something else, ics is a hit n miss on the tf101 at the moment, and asus don't seem close to fixing it honestly
I've got one, no serious issues with mine, I enjoy it
Not sure about the video playback

It will play hd youtube(720p i think) however the playback is not great, actual image quality is pretty good but as soon as there is any sort of fast moving action it starts to skip a second here, a second there Really annoying as it is a priority for me also. The last firmware update was supposed to have fixed this issue but seems to have made little difference. Have finally got round to rooting and am now searching for a rom that has sorted the issue. Its not a bad tab apart from this though and if you can get it at the right price there really isnt much wrong with it

I've had pretty good luck with it, but have only tried a few videos. I'm not a huge fan of the touchscreen skin they include, but its a start. I think the default skin almost works better. I hope they get the keyboard shortcuts working, as that would be nice with the dock (i've long had them memorized).
It will be nice if more people come out with android/touchscreen specific skins.
