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.

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

Anything you'd recommend mate?
And do you think the videos I have mentioned look bad due to them not being optimized?
What I can't understand is why the i4 videos are so stunning clear yet these aren't when there isn't much PPI difference
that's the problem of the super HD devices
regular videos optimized for the web are too low quality for the phone
you will need at least videos optimized for 480 if not 720 for it to look good
so in youtube you need to select 480 if 720 is not available
that means you will also eat a lot more DATA if you are on 3G / 4G
this is one of the many reason why GN wasn't so appetizing to me
specially when 3G & 4G networks are not as fast as they advertise them to be

download jetvd, a google search will do. then view it in 720p or you can download it to your phone in 720p
As for YouTube are you watching from the browser or the app itself?
I compared an HD video in the youtube app between the Galaxy Nexus and the SGS2 and the Nexus wins hands down... the detail is far superior because of the newer youtube app on the nexus. When the SGS2 gets ICS and/or the same youtube app as the nexus then maybe it'll be closer.
For large MKV files the SGS2 will win because samsung supplies codecs to view almost any video you throw at it, where as the nexus is constrained by the codecs that AOSP supports, which isn't nearly as expansive.
I have no clue what the **** the OP is talking about.
Check out the 2012 trailer in HD (should be the first in YouTube when searching for "HD 2012 trailer"). And make sure it actually has the "HD" icon in the vid list when you get your search results.
There is a little frame stutter... but hell, my $2000 i5 + ATI 6990 triple monitor gaming system also has frame stutter with YouTube (nature of FLV). The clarity on the other hand actually surprised me. It's just as good if not completely equal to 1080p MP4 videos (like Kanye's 'Lights') which also play awesome.

What do you guys use to play MKVs?
The SGS2 has its own codecs, when I used other ROMs I would use Moboplayer.
But Moboplayer won't download any codecs on the Galaxy Nexus so it's basically useless. Next I tried Rock Player, with hardware decoding I get good video but no sound and in software decoding I get good audio but suttering video.
So what to do? Re-encoding is a pain...

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.

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.

The default for h264 1080p is 12000000 (12Mbps). From a quick search it looks like the bitrate for the iPhone is 25Mbps.
Two values need to be changed:
Bitrate for 1080p in camera 0 section and the max bitrate of the h264 codec lower down in the file.
Setting it to 25 crashes the camera. 20 works and is confirmed to be working when checking video properties in Windows.
The quality improvement is questionable. Still looks like **** compared to iPhone 1080p samples I saw on YouTube.
The 1080p videos on the Nitro almost look like they're interlaced! Anyone else notice this?
More importantly we need to fix the spastic focus asap!

I just noticed that when selecting 1080p, it creates videos with the wrong resolution - 1920x1088 (instead of 1920x1080). Perhaps there is some wonky scaling going on in the vertical resolution which is what is causing that banding effect.
And yes, I am also seeing the same "interlacing" effect in videos I take with my phone. The effect does not appear at 720p or 480p.
The framerate is so abysmal at 1080p, I don't know why I'd ever use it anyway. 720p seems pretty good though.

From what I read it is able to play on MX Player, BS Player, Dice Player but I am more worried about performance. Some devices I hear have issues playing 10bit high action scenes so I want to know how it does. And if anyone has any experience with this?
I don't know but the nexus decodes 1080p video at the hardware level due to its chipset, not software like many phones. So it handles video playback like a champ.

I don't think any phone can do hardware decoding of 10bit video. 8bit video even a 1ghz single core hummingbird can play back 1080p with hardware decoding. But I am more particularly interested in 10bit which is more then likely decoded via software.

Can you point someone to where they can download a 10bit video and test it for you? (Maybe just a short clip?)

OK I found some samples online:
There are 2 10bit 720p samples here:

And there are some hi10 1080p samples here:

Downloading one now I'll let u know.
OK, those are mkvs and the stock video player can't play them.

try vlc beta or mx player. H/W decoding might not work with these files but software playback could be fine in theory.
MX Player can decode 720p 10-bit (Hi10P) files using its software decoder but it's very slow. You'd better off reencoding them using Handbrake.
PS: Even without action scenes, 10-bit files lag on the GNex.

Yes, stock won't play them. It would need MXplayer, BS Player, Dice Player or etc.

Well I am able to play back 10bit 720p on my Droid Charge so as far as playback it should be able to do it, the problem is performance. the droid charge isn't powerful enough unfortunately.

Well if I am going to transcode then it kind of eliminates some of the purpose. Have you tried in MX Player to set it to use both cores? fast mode? 16 bit color depth? overclocking the phone? None of the above would help?
10-bit H.264 is pointless. The screen (most likely 6-bits per channel with dithering) can't even display that many colors.

There are other benefits to 10-bit. The compression gives higher quality and smaller file sizes. Also the screens last I checked are not crappy TN panels. Super AMOLED is more then capable of displaying all colors. Even the IPS screens on phone these days are Super IPS (not to be confused with eIPS) and should be capable of displaying 10bit color.
That the format of the video is what it is and transcoding is not an option. Hence why I am interested in performance.
Don't expect anything but horrible performance. 10-bit H.264 streams can't be hardware decoded by anything on the market and probably never will.
Most S-IPS panels are also 6-bit per channel with dithering. Very few are actually 8-bit. Now, as far as monitors go, unless you're willing to spend 10 times the price for a non-consumer model, you will not find anything that supports 10-bits per channel natively. The story holds true for phones, too. I don't believe there are any 10-bit screens and I'm sure there won't be any for years to come (again, unless you're spending thousands for a phone).

First of all Super AMOLED has full color support because its not an LCD. The only thing you need to do is calibrate the screen so its not saturated. If you take OLED decay asside OLED can give you perfect color reproduction batter then the best IPS screens. Of course overall 10bit ends up being converted to 8bit because the hardware needs to support it like ATI Firepro
Now for SIPS, name me one monitor that is 6bit. The low end monitors that are 6bit are eIPS which use FRC. S-IPS is at minimum 8bit.
But we are getting off topic here..all I want to do is playback 10bit content. I am well aware of the limitations and that the decoding will be software which goes back to my question. Is the nexus powerful enough for the job.
Just tried one of the sample vids with MX and VLC. VLC was stuck on the first frame and MX played it but what seemed like 1FPS. I overclocked my phone to 1812MHz and have FrancoKernel with 512MHz GPU. Set my governor to performance and still no go. Tweaked settings on MX and still no go.
Sorry OP but I'm pretty sure the GNex can't play it.

Which samples did you try, the 720p or the 1080p?

With those Specs sounds like you're trying to cook your phone lol. Higher isn't always better. Example, I installed Batman to my Transformer which was overclocked to 1400mhz and it lagged like crazy. Once I put it down to 1100 it ran a lot better. Maybe you might have to find the sweet spot for your phone.
Is it possible to play 4K videos on Xperia S? Yes it is, with MXVideo player but it is very slow maybe because of hardware but I think that a player created for 4K videos will play them, if you know any software please tell me. By the way, what I've seen on my phone 4K video looks stunningly amazing !!!!
why would you play 4k video on 720p screen you won't even notice the difference between 720 and 4k on xperia s
No! You really can see the huge difference between 720 / 1080 / and 4K ! Video looks super sharp and super amazing. If only not that damn lag...

1080p, 2K and 4K videos will look the same on a 720p display
Anyway sxs's video decoder can't handle video bigger than 1080P
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Trust me it doesn't look the same you can try it yourself, it looks really cool. and it's very sad that SXS cant handle 4k ( Thx for qwk reply)
Our phone can record ip to 1080p and play it smoothly on 720p screen...so,don't know

How did you fitted a 4K video on 26 Gb of SD? You can only fit 20 min of 4K video in 64 Gb...

Sadly its just a placebo... (google that too, to find out how strong can be a placebo :good:..)
4K video sample was 4 minute length and was about 900mb. And for those who this its placebo try it yourself you will see much more details

So it wasn't trully 4K... Or was REALLY compressed. A 4K camera has a record rate of around 45 Mb/s. That times 60 seconds, or 1 Min, is already 2700 Mb.
And even if MX Player couldn't play it smoothly, that has an awesome hardware render tool, then no app will be able to do that.
