[Q] hd videos 1080p freeze - LG Optimus 2x

hi i recently purchased my lg optimus 2x in general i am very happy with my smartphone the only issue i have is when i try to play hd 1080p videos either with mx player or mobo the videos go very slow i tried the same thing on a samsung galaxy s2 and the videos worked flawlesly any recomendations how to fix that issue?

did you install mx player codecs for tegra 2? (you have them on play store as well)

yes i installed MX Player Codec (ARMv7) these are the ones anything else i can't believe that i am the only one who is experiencing this problem

Same problem... Codecs are installed for tegra 2 but video framerate is catastrophic.

you're not the only one... 1080p lags on my phone as well (MX Player too)... but i rarely play anything thats over 720p so i don't mind...

Try to clear memory, hold home button then 'stop all'.

You made the mistake of buying this phone.
Anyway try Dice player, I find it superior to all other players

Did you try with standard LG Fotocamera? I never had fullhd problems with froyo/GB/CM7/ICS

Nvidia tegra 2 cannot decode x264 or h264 formats @ 1080P resolution. Try converting the videos to MPEG-4 @ 1080 Resolution.

No problems with fullhd videos, recorded on camera. We are talking about movies downloaded to phone i.e. mkv or mp4 fullhd movies.

Yes, i do encode and decode movies. SO AFAIK, tegra 2 cannot decode h264 codec.

Tegra 2 can decode 1080p coded in low profile. Medium and commonly used high profile are not supported. You can google what choices you can set up to have low profile video. Very good SW for recoding videos is handbrake. I wish you good luck with searching best encode configuration.

i downloaded the iron man 2 trailer 1080p hd video here's the LINK
i'm using mx player, temasek final build rom and stefan final symbiosis kernel
the video is sluggish to play and the sound is not matching when stark open his mouth for now i didn't using ICS rom or cm10
i also try to play the video in different decoder included on the mx player but it doesn't work

You can run 720p or 1080p fluid.. spawndk from the eepad transformer forum:
"The Tegra2 chipset are designed as a mobile sollution chipset - to support web 2 standards. The highest encoding profile used here (Youtube 1080p) are 1080p baseline and this the Tegra2 chipset will both record and play with no troubles. As well as 720p baseline and main profile - but only upto L3.1 with some limitations. It doesnt matter which container is used (mkv, mp4, m4v, avi etc) and it doesnt matter if resolution are 1080p - its only a matter of the encoding profile used to encode the supported video format H264
Tegra2 will NEVER be able to decode High profile L4.1 encodes - it's not a software issue, neither in terms of Honeycomb or Nvidia libs, its simply a limitation of the abilities of the hardwaredecoder in the Tegra2 chipset and this will never change. It is also not a limitation in the Transformer specifically, but a limitation in ALL Tegra2 based tablets and mobilephones.
This is the same reason why some mediaplayers like the Boxee Box that was originally intended to use the Tegra2 moved on to an Intel chipset before launch.
In short the Tegra2 chipset will support playback of videos encoded in 1080p or 720p resolution, using the H264 video codec and AAC audio codec - as long as the video are encoded after the baseline profile standard
It will not now or ever - play 1080p/720p encodes encoded after the high profile standard."
So basically, you have to reencode videos just like on ipad..

you should reencode to low profile, high profile is for blu-ray device or PC. don't know maybe exynos 5 can play high profile [email protected] with handheld.

Thread moved. Please post all question threads here in Q&A in future where they belong.

Horrible H.264 decoding

I'm not sure that how many people at here know this fact.
Tegra 2's H.264 decoding is waaaay worse than Hummingbird(Galaxy S)
It cannot run any HD H.264 video HP.
Source?
Tegra2 can decode 720p at AVC HP and 1080p at AVC MP with reasonable/usually bitrates at 30p.
€dit: Just seen that u have the korean model, right? AFAIK the LG-Player isn't supporting the mkv-container,
allthough Tegra 2 would be up for the task (at 720p30 HP) as mentioned earlyer.
You will find out when you get O2X
Sent from my LG-SU660 using XDA App
I think with VLC or RockPlayer you can probably see a difference
How does x264 perform?
I think its the same issue as Adam had with the video/audio desync. Its not a hardware limitation.
I don't get it. I've tried various videos and none of them work properly. However, the demo video files that were on the device (1080p) run perfectly. No frame-skipping at all.
Is there something I'm missing?
I was kind of baffled by this too.
Brilliant playback on the included 1080p files.
So i thought yay lets grab some 1080p trailers from youtube with tubemate.
But alass. not very smooth! Think its indeed the profile that does the trick. or in this case, doesnt.
Next thought. Ok rockplayer will help me out here!.
But i wasnt too impressed with rock on my galaxy s either!.
Loaded rock. but also very crappy. Which is when u think of it, pretty logical.
Why? No hardware support! Rock doesnt even remotely know what a tegra2 soc is. and in fact, NONE of all the video apps do.
So in stead of funky tegra2 hardware decoding, you get software playback.
Ive heard some rumors about nvidia developing an android video player for tegra but i dont know if this is true or not at all.
so unless someone makes a proper video playback app (which in my opinion is way over due already! no offence but theyre all crap if u ask me!) which supports hardware playback AND tegra2 soc, it wont improve very much.
My 2 cents
Ok some more info, apperently Tegra2 isnt very great with high profile encoded. baseline and main profiles should work. more testing to do. Also everything below 1080p high profile should kind of play properly. My eyes are on VLC for android and fingers crossed for them to bring tegra2 suppot and their own great codec sets
Check the Motorola Atrix forum, on XDA (sorry cant link from mobile app), they have basically given up on playing hd h264 files on tegra 2. Such a shame.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes indeed. It sucks ass. I have the same unit but then from T-Mobile Netherlands. Video included works like a charm (ofcourse) but own added videos look like they are in slowmotion. 720p, 1080p doesn't mattter same issue.
Extra added flaw? When your record video in Full HD it does not play back on Full HD TV's or BD players. I checked why and found that it actually records in 1920x1088p!!!! Yes 1088P people.
FOTA updates are also not working for the T-Mobile branded unit. Comes back with validation error.
Tegra 2 limitation
Some search on the internet revealed that Tegra 2 supports fully h.264 main profile, but for high profile, it is only 720p 6MB/s, which is then not suitable for a BD. Anyway, I don't have the intention to fill in my 32 GB of storage with just one movie...
Recording in 1088p instead of 1080p is a bit more annoying, you think there could be a solution for that?

Yeah MVK-files can be played with other videoplayers on Market but I've read in reviews that it's awfully "laggy". Saw a video where they tried to play mvk in RockPlayer, i think it was, and damn... looked like 1fps!
I tried to play a mkv file yesterday with the build-in player which crashed my phone.
I installed qqplayer and am pretty satisfied with the result.

What kind of mkv did you try? 1080p?
I keep saying its a software issue causing all these troubles, i have a Adam and since the latest update i saw a improvement on the video playback.
Once we get proper support for mkv it will be awsome

Do you have a video of the adam playing back mkv?
You can search in the thread @ my sig for " Notion Ink Adam Qi Vs Motorola Xoom by Inspiron41 "
I can add that any file that i have MKV to be played has to have the extension changed to AVI and only QQPlayer can run them, if the sound quality is high more than 2 channels the fps rate will be low this happens with either 720p or 1080p. But if i try to run a MP4 file with 1080p it runs very smooth with audio and video sync, so for me its a issue with decoding of MKV.
Oh and the Adam is running froyo no multiprocessor support neither the video apps do.

Does nexus one can playback 720p High profile videos?

LG's Optimus Q(LU-2300, only for south korea) has same snapdragon 1st gen 1ghz cpu. But it can play h.264 high profile 4.1
Both devices are using snapdragon.
It is possible that play high 4.1 videos on nexus one?
Sent from my Nexus One CM7 using XDA App
LG probably has licensed codecs and a modified kernel to take advantage of said proprietary codecs. I did a quick check online and couldn't find any mention of h.264 playback. The only mention of 720p is for the camera.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"There is built in hardware decoding for H.263, H.264 and MPEG-4 video"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_One
It can also be seen in device specs.
So yes, most chances that the will be some video player that will play h.264.
hi,i used modaco's desire port for nexus one rom,and it surprised me with playing 720p in realtime,and also great camcroding on720p,i tried to play some youtube's 720p videos(downloaded FLV file from youtube)and it played it really really great,smooth,realtime!

[Q] Galaxy Tab wifi Only dont want play any 720p video

Hi everyone.
I am a user of a Galaxy Tab Wifi only Euro version (gt-p1010).
My problem is:
I can't play any mkv/mp4/wmv file in 720p with the stock player or others (rockplayer, arcsoft, etc). I tried several files (more than 15 files).
It's very stange because in the box yo can read that it can play HD video (only 720p).
Can anyone have this issue in my model "wifi only"?
Thanks
Wifi tab's graphics chip is weaker than gsm/cdma tabs'. Try playing low profile videos

720p is actually quite generic. My guess, based on the picture you posted, is that it can handle 720p in mp4, like for example a 720p divx but not the most common type of hd video: h264. That one requires plenty of power, and so far no mobile device can handle it if decoded via raw cpu power, even the P1000 can't... and that's where hardware decoding comes in to save the day.

Thanks¡¡¡¡ You're absolutely right.
After your answer, I've tried to play some files in h264 ( resolution between 720p or lower and 720p divx / xvid).
The results have been very enlightening.
The "galaxy tab only wifi model" can decode 720p if the file is NOT H264.
With that compression the galaxy's stock player cant play any file(At very low resolutions they can play via software decoder in rockplayer at +-30fps).

In Quadrant, there is a part where it tests the H.264 decoding of the CPU (at least on my GT-P1000, there is)

Whereas apxf888's mp4 file works a treat.

YouTube problems

Hi all,
I started out with the stock 3.2 ROM, I quickly switched to Overcom ROM 3.2. I was happy with it for about 8 months.
Then I decided to go to ICS and later JB.
Every ROM I've used so far has the problem that HD movies on YouTube don't play very well. Every few second it will stop for a fraction of a second, it's really annoying. The audio is never affected though. It happends when the video is small and when it's full-screen. The moment I switch from HD to HQ the problem is gone.
I tried about anything, even overclocking up to 1.5 GHz. doesn't change a thing. I'm pretty sure it's not the capabilities of the tablet, if I play 720p trailers on the IMDb app it plays all video's perfectly. Also, when I use the 3.2 Overcome ROM backup the problem is gone as well! I can't go back to 3.2! I love ICS and JB too much!
Are other people having this problem? Or does anyone knows the solution?
I was wondering if this has something to do with the kernel, so far I used the A1 kernel and currently I'm on 3.1.10 Cyanogenmod+ kernel and CyanogenMod 10, with Android 4.1.2

Youtube HD is not encoded as it has to be for Tegra2 chipsets to play without stutters..

While I agree the issue was mentioned before (it's even on my faq ICS), none of your reply addresses the observation, made by several folks on this board, that certain (youtube) HD videos played fine in HD, but stutter in ICS. Or did I miss something?
I read a suggestion somewhere, that video would stutter less in ICS (correction: jelly bean) if developer USB debugging mode is off, but I didn't see a difference...

Well, i have to admit that youtube hd videos did not play fluently on HC for me. Therefore I think that the android version or kernel doesnt matter for decoding. I might be wrong though..
With that being said, i think that there is no solution to get it fixed.
Btw that USB debugging thing does not work for me as well

[Q] Can HTC One handle 10-bit video ?

I have galaxy S3 and it can handle 10-bit 480p, but 10-bit 720p video runs slow
Is HTC one powerful enough to handle 10-bit 720p video smoothly ? Can someone test it ?
Note: The default media player probably won't play 10-bit videos. So, download MX Player from google play, and make sure you use S/W (software mode) for playing 10-bit video.
Also, you can easily find countless of 720p 10-bit animes if you use google. So, please someone test it for me.
Anyone ?
I doubt many of us are familiar with 10 bit video. Try asking the int'l One forum, they already have the phone available.
