YouTube 1080p Lag

Okay, so I have been watching videos from the full YouTube site and they work perfectly on 720p. When I play the videos on 1080p, the videos lags, giving me something like 1 FPS. Is there a solution to this problem? Is it something with the phone or is it YouTube's problem? If anyone has any sort of insight on this problem, please post. If you are having the same problem, also post.

Your internet speeds aren't high enough probably?
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

I just checked it myself. I have the same problem. Maybe the device doesn't support 1080p playback. Which is odd, I thought it recorded in 1080p.

1920x1080 runs just fine on mine

YouTube 1080p runs in flash..what's you expect..also..why in the world would you watch a 1080p video on a 480p screen?

Try a different browser

Before we had root in the first days of the sgs2, i was able to watch 1080 videos wonderufully on YT also, epicmealtime fyi. I tried it today and the stock browser lags. =/

Why? Why do you need to see 1080P videos on a screen that only does 480P? And of course it'll lag it's running on flash on a website not optimized for mobile. Geez this is a phone not a desktop gaming rig.

It's not your phone it's youtube it's self. Youtube has always lagged on 1080p videos. My desktop has problems with it and I have 8 gig ram. Intel i7 sandy bridge with AMD Radeon HD 6990. Ever since youtube upgraded their interface it has been plagued with problems. My connection is 20 down 5 up.
The phone can run hi 10bit 1080p blue ray h.264 mkv videos with the lowest and highest encode possible with out losing frames. Which looks better than anything you can possibly stream. There is nothing on youtube worth watching in 1080p most videos are upscaled anyway. Which really isn't 1080p anyway.

I watch 1080p videos because they look much clearer and less grainy than both 720p and 420p. I have tried different browsers but the same problem arises.

I think you need a quad core processer in order to watch 1080p videos.., my tab 10.1 can`t play 1080p videos...... it has the screen for it which leads me to believe it`s the processer

that's your brain talking.

I bet if I had 3 identical gsIIs one displaying 480 video, 720, and 1080 you wouldn't be able to pick which one is which.

I think many of us are spec whores because we want a mobile desktop experience/replacement/all-in-one mega device and I don't think you picked up your GS2 without thinking the same.

Never mind. My logic was wrong but I watch CoD vids mostly so I can only tell the difference in such videos. But i hope you get my point. I want to maximize my phone's use.

[Q] Want to buy A100 for Son

Looking to buy the Iconia Tab A100 for my son. I have an Asus transformer and i love it, but wanted to get him something smaller. This tab seems to be a nice one. I wanted to make sure of the following things.
1) Movies work (avi)
2) Netflix works (without root)
3) any good "kid type" case reccomendations?
Thanks for help

Hello friend! I will do my best to provide relevant answers to your questions!
1) Most movies do work! Even in resolutions of 720p and 1080p. Of course, not all video files are encoded correctly. There can be wide degrees of variation in quality between video files; trying to play a 1080p avi movie file with an extremely high bitrate (much like how MP3s are in 128 kilobytes per second(kbps), 192kbps, 256kbps, 320kbps etc) will cause stuttering and jittery playback. But the Tegra 2 platform can play 1080p content. Perhaps an SD card with high read speeds could remedy this (or using SD-Booster to bolster the read-ahead value of the SD card) but I am not certain, as I have not extensively tested this.
2) Netflix works, albeit a bit jittery in operation (i.e. browsing instant play selections) but video works great. Being rooted does not affect its operation.
3) I have not looked into kid-friendly accessories, but browsing Amazon's selection of A100 accessories may yield a nice prize.
And by the way, I am selling my own Iconia A100 tablet.
Cheers!

Sorry mate, the tab has been sold already. I sold it because I found myself using it less and less after getting my shiny new Sensation.
Haven't tested sky video calling on it, so I cannot comment.

1080p on any tw rom on this phone doesn't work. It can only record up to 720p. Hax
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

It works in mine but I'm on GB not ICS.

Works for me too. 720 is less apt to drop frames in my experience.

Huh?? Overstew, are you drinking? Every rom for this phone is TW aside from CM7/9 and so far they all seem to be recording in 1080p. Though 720p looks much better IMO, I really hate that zoom on 1080p.

That's what I'm referring to. 1080p isn't true 1080p because the resolution in which it records is no different than 480p. 720p is true 720p on this device.

Oh I see. I've never taken the time to do it but are there the correct number of lines of resolution on the 1080p video? Regardless, it seems like a cheat to increase the resolution on a smaller field of view than to give us the full widescreen image at the same resolution. I heard it has something to do with only part of the sensor being used for 1080p (the inner portion) so while it looks zoomed, it's really not. The bitrates are higher - for what it's worth.

Eh, if it's "true" 1080p, it's outdone by the 720p setting, which defeats the purpose of advertising 1080p.

Technically 1080p, realistically, not what you expect from 1080p recording.

Anybody upload to PC both 720 and 1080 of the same scene and does it still crop the 1080 when viewed on the PC monitor ,for example maybe we are not seeing the whole picture and the edges that got cropped will return when viewed on a hi Res monitor .. just a theory I hope is true

I'm pretty sure that when recording 1080p the preview window shows the 720p or (more likely) WVGA square in the center of the actual 1080p video. My theory is that it might be a little too much to ask to both record 1080p at a reasonable frame-rate and to do realtime scaling for the preview at the same time.
....when viewing my videos on my monitor they sure don't look as zoomed in and wacky as they do when capturing.
edit: The 1080p really does look fantastic if you have great lighting and DO NOT MOVE THE PHONE AT ALL. The scene can be very high motion, just don't move the scene....the tearing/warping is horrrrible.

has anyone else noticed this **** happens hella often? the first person to volunteer to try something always ends not being able to try it because there's something wrong with their phone. and then they either forget about it, or when they do try it they never post the results.
not doggin on overstew, i just see this happen all the time, and everytime i'm like "man, comethefuck on, every time!!"

I'm want to record the same scene with maybe a pole or other object on the edge of the screen ,play it on the PC and see if that pole is still on the edge of the screen but I'm still at work

Thank you,about mf time someone noticed that.
720 is real nice with almost zero lag.While 1080p has ghosting/lag effect with moving objects.
I had 3 different epics and they are all the same-1080 recording is uselless,they probably included that option to market epic but in real life it doesnt work good.

Yeah,it is nice if you filming some slow moving robots but beyond that the tear is horrible.I wonder if there a fix for it or maybe someone will make a camera mod that can record with higher resolition than 720p but not as high as 1080.
I noticed the lower the resolution,the less lag camera has.

Coz that's the resolution the slow mo is available at, you can't set it higher than 720x480.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I did trim the video with the inbuilt trim feature in the video edit option it saved the video as 3gp could this have lowered the quality? Im not to clued up on this stuff but I thought it normally records in mp4 so either the trim option has converted it to 3gp or possibly slow mo is captured in 3gp to keep down the file size?
Ive just checked and the video trim has resaved the video in 3gp it was originally captured in mp4 not that this appears to have made much difference to the quality.
Im guessing at 8x slow mo it is recording at 240fps and because of the high frame capture there has to be a reduction in quality to make it possible.

It still wouldn't affect the quality of the video by much in the Note's screen.
It won't be good only when viewing in a computer or tv in full screen.

I hear people are not that pleased with the slow motion resolution but personally I think its great for a bit of fun. Sure not good enough for a professional production but its not meant for that. On the phone it looks fine... it was my favourite feature on an old LG viewty I had years ago and wow the resolution on that in slow mo mode was bad this looks crystal and very impressive in comparison. I know you cant really compare the 2 but it shows how nicely things have moved on.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

This feature is not meant for serious work, it's just a gimmick, a toy to enhance movierecording in the phone. If you really want you can bump up the resolution to full HD on the computer via thirdparty plugins in After Effects or Premiere Pro.

If you thought it would be different you had unreasonable expectations. A GoPro 2, which has a much larger sensor than the Note 2 and more dedicated hardware, can do 120FPS at 848x480p. $3500 DSLRs like the 5D Mk III can't even take video at more than 30 FPS! To think that a cell phone camera could take high resolution, slow motion video is just ignorant.

Whatever, I like this slow motion thingy.

Can you or any one else post slow mo videos somewhere else cause youtube is blocked in my country?

you guys need to get off the n2's nuts.
i didn't know it's so taxing on hardware for video to be recorded in slow motion. that is disappointing.
it's an interesting feature but it seems counter productive to the huge screen of the note2 since it can't be viewed in hd on it.

Here is my test on the slow motion function.
Have fun!
(Since I cannot post outside links yet, here is the info for the video
vimeo(dot)com(slash)62170068
Youtube(dot)com(slash)watch?v=TnMH_N2fSOA
Notes: When I was editing the video I saw some blur on the images, this makes me think that the camera don't actually captures 240 frames per second, but instead what it does is duplicate some of the frames and create a ghosting effect.
I need to do more technical tests to see the actual capture rate frame of the camera.

Can anyone try something for me? Can you grab the camera apk off the note 2 so I can try it on the samsung mega? The mega does not have, irritatingly so, the slow mo feature. Has to be the 4.2 camera app version since the mega is running 4.2. Thanks.

You can't adjust the Resolution at all.
It's always 720*480 for Note 2 and S4 Zoom; 800*450 for S4 and for Note 3; and S5, Z2, F7, K Zoom(aka S5 Zoom) and the newer ones, it's HD 1280*720p.

Looking for a high qualityHD video to show off the AMOLED.

I'm looking for a legal to download 1080P/720P HD video that I can download to my SD card to use to show off the brilliance of the GNII's display. There were some old links to come Samsung made HD videos that were designed to show off the AMOLED displays but it looks like all the links for them were to MEGAupload which of course doesn't quite exist any more. I'd love to find something simiar. I don't really keep HD movies on my phone but I do want a short HD clips I can play that will hopefully really show off the chops of the HD Amoled display. Anyone know of something that will play on our Notes that is legal to download on the internets that would make a great display demo?

I was hoping for something downloadable since 3G/4G coverage can be a little spotty around here. Plus Youtube HD videos aren't exactly the highest quality HD you can get.

You can search for hd movie trailers downloads. Maybe something like the Avengers cause they have colorful costumes. Those are hd quality and legal.

Why aren't 1080p videos on youtube the highest quality you can get? Actually, I think it's the highest quality your phone can display. I don't know you, and this is crazy, but I just searched for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 1080p on youtube, and found a ton of 1080p videos for you to check out. And if you want, use tubemate to set the quality you need and download directly to your phone.

Orrrr.... you can record a nice video yourself using the amazing camera on 1080p and show it on that beautiful display.

Google "Blender Open Movies" there are a few hi-res movies you can download for free that are gorgeous to boot. My favorite is Tears of Steel (youtube). The main site appears to be down Tears of Steel. Also check out Elephant's Dream.

Well, you could get the youtube downloader from the samsung store. I did, and it works just fine.
