[Q] Play high resolution movies

Hey,
has anyone tried to play 720p movies/clips on the DHD? It would make sence to be possible but so far, i've tried a lot of players and no luck there. Vplayer get pretty close but the playback is still jerky.
Ideas?

I use vplayer aswell but you have to change the vidoe quality setting from speed to quality. It smooths out the movie and runs pretty good

try rockplayer
im using it and its never lagged when playing 720p videos...

l tried playing 720p and the playback was alfuw everywhere, except in the build in video player Really, l tried every free video player, it can't play 720p smoothly (the format was mp4).

I've yet to see a player that can handle .mkv files.

Due to VPlayer becoming commercial (after the dev promised 'forever free') I will suggest QQPlayer.

[Q] 720p HD videos [solved]

Hi,
As you guys might know, playing 720p HD videos on the DHD is impossible. the video will be in Slow Mo!
Anyone has a fix or a workaround for that?
Thanks =)
p.s. i think is 1080 x 720 resolution for the video!

If you can play it with system player it should be possible because it uses hardware decoding (gpu renders the video). MoboPlayer or RockPlayer are 3rd party players with hardware decoding
If you use a player like vplayer that only supports software decoding (cpu renders the video) it's possible that it's laggy and out of sync.

resolution is 1280x720 and when I record them they play back perfecty in the stock player

actually rock player doesn't work. i download you tube videos via tubemate in 1080x720 format. it lags even on rock player

Rubbish! Desire HD extremely smooth playback HD stuff with stock player.
Stock player
.mp4 720p great
.avi 720p great
.wmv 480p great (i didin't try 720p)
.flv not at all ->SGS can great
.mkv not at all ->pity because SGS can great
RockPlayer ARMv7 depending on decoding mode
.mp4 720p great
.avi 720p good but big file has some lags
.wmv 480p great (i didin't try 720p)
.flv great but i've only checked 480p
.mkv poor fps, a lot of lags
It's pity that default player can't open .mkv files. A lot of HD movies has this extension... I don't know why HTC hasn't implemented this codec to the player when Samsung could. It's proof, it's possible.
If U want to download HD stuff from YouTube, try JDownloader ->it's great
DHD and even SGS won't playback full HD 1080p video clips. Probably it's software limitation.

Best Video player?

I have VPlayer Advanced and when I play an .avi video that is 624x352 it lags pretty bad...
I can't imagine watching a 720p or a 1080p video on this thing...
Anyone know a video player that is worth having? ???
(It must be able to play all formats like .mkv .mp4 and so on...)

Try moboplayer. I'm using it and happy so far.

Have you compared it to Modo player?
One of the comments says it can't play .mkv or .mov If not its not what I'm looking for.

playing .mkv simply is done if supported by device... i tried many but none could play mkv on desire hd flawlessly coz of hardware limitations...

modo player can play a 720p .mkv on my DHD mostly good. Not perfect but close!
The phone by default doesn't support .mkv if this video player doesn't support more formats than the phones default player then I'm not interested.

Greetings, I use and recommend "Best Video Player PRO (Summer Player)" is very good and lso read almost all video formats, only the interface is not very appealing but the rest works perfect.

Mobo player plays 480p mkvs perfectly without lag at all. Haven't tried 720p though

I Use RockPlayer. Plays everything pretty well, assuming you select the correct option for the file (hardware or software decoding).
I think you have to pay for it, but honestly I've had it that long I cant remember doing it.
Hardware wise, the DHD doesnt support much in the way of videos (or its awkward). Obviously, 720p 3gp, MP4, and mine is picky about WMV (it will play and then decide it can't play this file about halfway lol). it apparently supports AVI and XVID but I never come across any AVI encoded with MP4 ASP and MP3, hence RockPlayer.

MoboPlayer seems to struggle a little with MKV files I've noticed ... kind of lags. If the video has subtitles there's epic desyncing as well.
There's DicePlayer I guess, which could very well be the best video player on the market right now, but it doesn't support embedded MKV subtitles as far as I know so I haven't gone about buying it yet. Then again, I'm also a bit hesitant to buy it even with the subtitles working because I expect VLC to release their player in the coming month ...

there is nothing beter rockplayer. plays anything/

Rockplayer is the best

Ive been watching 720p movies using it and not had any problem. Not a single lag either!! Rockplayer works flawlessly!! Its the best you can find!

Yeah Rockplayer here to.
Been using it for a while now and it hasnt not played a file yet.
Not big on HD on the DHD so i dont really know about that.
Rockplayer for your videos and Poweramp for the music and your set.

Wish VLC would make a player for android. Worked great on my iPhone, but the iphone sucks.

old VIDEO PLAYER (not advanced) works best for me , better than rockplayer, at least on my phone

[Q] playing 1080P videos

hello.
I would like to play full movies 1080p & 720p on my Gnex.
I'm using mx player. before I play the video I'm shutting down all other apps via Advanced task killer.
still, the video is lagging, even with 720P movies.
what can I do to make it run smoothly ?
Thank you !

I use MX Player to play 720p and 1080p mp4 videos and they play smoothly. I haven't tried mkv videos yet, though.

From what I understand, these video players that allow you to play non-naively supported video extensions are constantly decoding the video on a software level.
You'll need one that supports full hardware decoding.
I don't really have a recommendation...but I'd google around and see if you find one that works for our phones.
I'd help, but I don't really have any MKV files lying around

Thank you friend.
It is very important to me.
(and yes I am talking about mkv files)

Try BS Player Free from the market. I also use MX player because I feel it outputs better sound but BS plays everything I throw at it Including 1080p mkv's and I even have a couple of very high bit rate 1080p m2ts files that play on it just fine.I'm on Trinity kernel (1536/384). Let me know how it goes.

I have had a lot of problems with the smoothness on Mx player lately. It used to play HD files fine in software mode but lately has not.

+1 BS Player free , good for HW decoding and also those mkv movies that don't appear to have sound with other players
