is there anyway to get my videos to play smooth again? everything was great before froyo came along...both avi (rockplayer) and mp4 videos (stock player) were very smooth...then froyo came along and everything is choppy. I have tried multiple roms/kernels...does anyone have a fix???
thanks!
Kill some background tasks, and OC as needed. I have yet to have any issues playing AVIs and even RM videos on Rockplayer. Are you trying to watch an HD video or anything like that?

thanks...i will try that. ...my videos were not hi-def, just dvd quality converted with handbrake to .m4v ...at 65% quality (now the sizes are b/w 800mb and 1.2gb per movie)...they used to play great and look great. Now, they only look great, play choppy. ...really jerky...as my first attempts at hi-def were before froyo came out. thanks for the help!
I have the same problem. It was fine on a non rooted eclair and i did the ota update to froyo the video was choppy. I rooted the ota 2.2 and went back to 2.1 and it was all good, then i tried the 2.2 roms and the choppiness is back. Froyo has its bugs like google navigation working with pandora, and pandora sounding like crap.
**EDIT** sorry, my cpu froze...double post.
MODS PLEASE REMOVE
I was having choppy video even with 2.1 (stock).
After I changed the SD card to class 6 I videos play smooth. This is with 2.1/2.2 both stock and with CM6.

On websites and forums where there are youtube videos embedded on it, the playback is not very smooth. It jumps slightly.
How do I fix this, or this normal?

I am running the Modaco Froyo ROM.
Just to double check, can other froyo users see if they have this problem.
To test, there is a video on this link. Could you play it and tell me how it peforms? http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e6...0-bi-kompressor-twin-supercharged-800-hp.html
Thanks
I have no problems with vids from YouTube usually however I notice that the vid you linked to is 720p and is a little jerky. The standard def version of the same vid works fine tho! I think it is asking a lot to be able to play 720p vids smoothly within a browser window on a phone to be honest! My laptop can struggle sometimes!
I'm sick of waiting for them to fix these issues... All my music collection on my phone is encoded into aac+ (he-aac v2) with parametric stereo. Now it's useless because the decoder has a bug since the froyo upgrade it sounds like crap!
Youtube is also crap since v2.2 update. It's impossible to watch a youtube clip because it crashes almost instantly or after a minute or so. Incredibly annoying.
I think these 2 features are VERY important to fix asap because I can't recommend anybody upgrading to 2.2 or even buying a Desire before we know it gets fixed!!!
Sad...
Don't know about the music thing. However Youtube works perfectly for me on froyo 2.2. Though I ma running a custom ROM

YouTube works fine for me as well . Try factory reset and don't restore backup . In general froyo does feel sluggish to me as well
youtube and music works for me
i use mp4 audio too (AAC)
Youtube is working perfectly for me and im on stock FroYo. Dont know about "aac" music playback though..

So I've recently started watching shows again and I've wanted to find a great MKV player that works well on the Dinc. Only problem I'm having is the actual playback, is the Dinc not suited for mkv playability?
When I use Rockplayer, its really choppy on the different files. And the sound doesn't seem to sync up all that well, a bit on the laggy side. I know the hardware isn't really suited for video playability but it seems to do pretty well on avi's and mp4's and the sort. MKV seems to be the popular type among others, but it isn't handled well by the phone.
Should I just convert my videos to the "lower" format? Does anyone have a good reccomendation for an MKV player or settings of the sort?
Thanks in advance!
I tried RockPlayer today, too, and was disappointed in it. Seems that I'll be transcoding my files to AVI with h264 or some such. It might help to remove unnecessary language tracks, subs, etc. If you don't plan on using another screen to view the files, downsizing to 720x480 would be a great help, if the source files are larger.
Have you tried VPlayer? it is in alpha right now, but I haven't had a problem with it playing anything. Although I haven't tried a HD movie file.
When I had the Original Motorola Droid 1 I used both RockPlayer and arcMedia.
When I tested .mkv files with arcMedia, it played really smooth.
Look for arcMedia in the market and let us know if it works out better for you.

VPlayer seems like the closest possible. Once it gets better I'll definitely use it. But right now, its not so good because its pretty choppy. For one of my dual audio files, it plays a screechy sound, but it'll get better. I'll leave the creator some feedback and such but, I like it.

It works somewhat well, but when I play videos, they're still choppy and the sound isn't synced either. Better than Rockplayer in terms of playing mkv files but maybe it might also be the size of the file itself that is causing the problems.
500mb does seem like quite a bit to process. But...a contradiction lies with the fact that Rockplayer and others can play large avi/mp4 files? Gah, I guess I'll just wait for updates or something, convert some of my files. >_>
Check out CorePlayer on Twitter. Their tweets indicate that it will be released very soon.
I've been waiting for this since I made the switch from Windows Mobile to Android. It should be extremely stable and play everything.

mkv files are a problem in general. Most of my files are in .avi. I have a 1.4 gb dream theater concert that runs fine on arcmedia, but again its not an mkv.
We have VLC Mobile to look forward to early 2011 lol

Wow you're able to play 720p movies? I get lag with each video player out there. Rockerplayer, vplayer, arc.. but dvd quality runs perfect.
CM7 nightly 20 oc'd to 1.4ghz.

^Did you get that from the pirate bay? Shame on you.
Try an overclock it should help some. I stream 720p flash movies and they actually perform quite well at 1.516Mhz performance, but it does overheat after a while. If you are not rooted and OC is not an option, You might have to convert the file to 480X800 to get it to play smooth. Be warned though that this can take from 20 minutes to 6 hours depending on the speed of your computer, and results in image quality loss.
If you ever get out of sync issues, just jump back a few seconds and it will resync itself. For flash movies I usually resync it every 15 minutes or so.

You can try Act 1, I have had it play a few formats the others wouldnt...I like Rockplayer, Vplayer not so much. Meridian is another good video player.
Try arcMedia

ya arc media is pretty good
If anyone is still looking for more video player choices, Vital Player seems pretty good. Either pretty new, or I just haven't found it before. Good interface, seems compatible with lots of my videos, and automatically selects software or hardware decoding based on the video (without having to select or toggle like Rock Player). I've seen some complaints in the Market reviews about the free version showing ads during video playback. But I haven't seen this. I have AdFree running, so it seems to be doing its job. Also, Vital Player is not yet compatible with Gingerbread, so it doesn't work on CM7.
Since I've switched to CM7, its Rock Player for me. It plays almost everything I've thrown at it, without lag. vPlayer lagged like crazy for me on some videos. ArcMedia has lots of things I didn't like about the interface, and lagged on some WMV files.
I've been using the stock video player since day one when I got my G2. I play all my videos at 720P after converting to .mp4 using handbrake. No lag issues at all.
Hello, I am having issues playing all sort of video files on a t-mobile defy with stock 2.2.1 , very low resolution videos play fine, but when the video has a higer resolution than 480X320 i get a ton of lag, video and sound are of sync and pixelation. I tried killing all apps and it somehow help. I tried vplayer (the best so far-but paid), movoplayer, vital player, summer player and nothing seems to work as it should. Does anyone had this same issue and found a solution? Does rooting the phone will help? Any assistance will be appreciated

Hello, I had the same problem, I have a Defy Rooted with Pays ROM, I think is not neccesary to root your phone to get quality videos playing fine.
I solved the playing issues with rockplayer, you can found the Rock Player Lite version and test it, is working great for me, including 720p videos !
Hope can help you
Sorry for my bad English
Try mobo player...............not much lag
