I've noticed movie lagging on HTC Inspire and Dell Streak but not on Archos. The larger the file the more likely it gets laggy. I tried RockPlayer, VitalPlayer, MxZing. Any suggestions? Thanks!!
If the bit-rate of the movie is too high the phone won't be able to play it back smoothly no matter what player you use. I'd recommend using the free 'Handbrake' to transcode the movie to a more managable size/bit-rate.

Thanks for the reply. However, Archos 43 can play the same video fine...

That's because the Archos is capable of HD video playback. It probably has hardware acceleration where the others do not.
Can Xoom play .mkv video files?
I have a lot of 720p .mkv movies. I was wondering if I can watch 720p .mkv movies on the Xoom.

i doubt the native player can but i wouldnt be surprised to see some to some support for it later in the app market. most players out of box dont support mkv i believe

I just tested Rockplayer and yxplayer on my CM7 Galaxy S and I can play my avi's now. It COULD work on honeycomb.
Prob not....
I doubt that the xoom will be able to play .mkv files right out of the box. But Im sure that there are other players in the market that will be able to. I used to have an iPad (but sold it to get the xoom) and that was one of my main problems, not being able to play .mkv, but the VLC app worked perfectly for me, the only problem was that the iPad wasn't powerful enough to run a 720p or an 1080p .mkv file. Kept lagging and the audio was out of sync. Hopefull with the tegra 2 processor and the 1080p support the xoom will be able to play my files.

I tested all of them on Dell Streak 5, Nexus One and Inspire 4G, they can play but with lags. Ironically, the cheap Archos can play the same file fine. Go figure.
just make sure theyre not more than 4gbs. damn android file size limitation.

Galaxy S has native Divx support and can play AVI and MKV through the built in video player. No need for any third party players. I doubt the Xoom will have divx certification, but it certainly should be able to decode 720P MKV files using a software solution through Rockplayer.

none of these have dual core either so the xoom will be able to handle high def mkvs, we probably just have to wait for a player that take advantage of dual core to smooth out playback.

I don't think it has anything to do with CPU as Archos doesn't have that issue (although it has many other issues)...

Not if you are running CM7 (as I stated in my post). CM7 = AOSP based.
OR u can use Handbrake to help u convert mkv to mp4 for playback on your xoom
Beware, that's not true. Xoom has limitation for what kind of video files it can play:

This has been discussed many times, all the forum threads are still alive.

But it will still be limited by the FAT32 file system. You can't play full length 1080p simply because the files are too big.
please stop spreading this nonsense. its not true. this is a horrible false news being spread way to much. i just dont get people.

my sentiments exactly, my Archos 101 can play every video file I thro w at it, I did purchase the $12 Cinema Plugin, the inability of the xoom to play some video files is what is keeping me from buying one, among other things

Oh, I have an Evo and I think the file system on the SD card is FAT32. Can Windows 7 read EXT4?
Motorola's official word is to use <15MBps video on 720 and it will be fine.

How about streaming them on Dual band?
My Tab 2 5113 with 4.2.2 ota update unrooted plays everything 100% flawless. I have played some 720p content with no issues but 95% of all my vids (.mkv .h264 .mp4 avi xvid divx) it doesn't matter it all has played without issue. This includes when on 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 too. I only use MXPlayer.
As far as Dual band... my Tab 2 5113 won't see the 5ghz band from my router so i doubt it has that radio.
720p yes, 1080p no ;]

Why are people complaining about not being able to play files? Please don't reply to this thread if that's the case. You can download players and codecs seperately. I assume the people who answered the wirelessly streaming question used a player or codec combination, anyone care to specify what hardware/software codec they used?
I use vplayer for large buffers and mxplayer for smaller buffers.
Dice sucks and is overrated.

Ummm As i stated before, mine does playback 720p and 1080p flawlessly. I have over 4TB of movies and TV shows from multiple sources and formats, (mp4, MKV container .h264 you name it) not a one is ever out of sync with audio, video and subs even if i skip ahead or back. So i'm sorry if yours can't. All I'm using is MXplayer with the MX player codec.(arm v7)
Also you do know that MKV is a container not a video format per se correct?

Eric are you streaming these? Wirelessly? What is your wifi connection like, what router are you using? Are you overclocking your tab by any chance?
I've been ambiguous about buying this thing for like a week now. Sigh. Inconsistent answers and just some straight up stupid answers about this.
Since 1080 is a complete waste on any hand held device save yourself the drain on battery and the bandwidth of downloading 1080. The eye cant tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on small devices held less then a foot or two from your face.

I'm using GT-P5113 stock. Not rooted on ota 4.2.2. My router was a dlink dir-655 but 3 weeks ago I replaced my it with a linksys ea4500 (n900). I'm streaming on 2.4ghz as the tab 2 can't see the 5ghz band. My tab steamed 100% fine on both routers.

Like I said I'm sorry your tab has issues with playback. But my tab running stock 4.2.2 ota has no compression issues, plays without hiccups and all sound and subtitles are always in sync even skipping forward or back. This is files on my pc. It also steams 1080p slingbox content to my tab 2 via the slingplayer app for 3+ hours without a single hiccup while I watched the eagles-redskins game on Monday night.
So again sorry your having issues but don't tell me mine is having flawed playback. In other words speak for yourself.

Then you have a jacked up tab 2 lol sorry about your luck bro. Should have changed it out. deal with it i guess.
Bah I have a quadcore note 2 and it has trouble on true 1080 playback. I have to switch to sw decoding when they get to large. I also have the tab 2 and it has trouble on true 1080 maybe not a fake 1 1/2 gig 1080 rip but a real 1080 flick will stop that tab in its tracks. Again 1080 just isnt worth the trouble on handhelds there is no difference between 720 and 1080 on that tab. So why make it struggle to playback anyways. To each there own but it really is a waste.

That's why I'm thinking to myself too...use my laptop (doesn't have dual band wifi) for it...chances are a miniaturized 'micro' dual band USB adapter will be out sooner and cheaper for my laptop than this tablet.
Use the tablet for 720, Youtube, Internet and E-book reading

I would also like know the answer.
On MIUI 9 it was possible, everything worked great. After update (I don't know which) to MIUI 10 it's possible to record only in 1080p 30fps or 4k 30 fps
Mi 8 , Poco and mix 2s will get 4k 60fps next month
