Is Youtube 720p in HD? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I did notice that there were mods of youtube.apk that enabled 720p, but does anyone know if the Youtube app is 720p out of the box when the HD is toggled? It does have a HD resolution screen.

From what I have seen YouTube calls 720p and 1080p HD. 480p is listed as high quality HQ. 360 and 280 is just standard or low quality.
I have watched 720P HD on my N7 and Galaxy Nexus. Just depends if the option it shows you when playing a YouTube video is HD or HQ.

HD Video

So from what I am reading on this forum, my Xoom will not play HD Video? Or will not play it very easily? This is disappointing.

You didn't read very far.
It will play HD video. It just wont play all HD video or common encodes of HD video or high quality HD video. All HD video isn't created equal. The Tegra 2 is actually incapable of decoding above L4.1 h.264, so any video above that, which is all 1080p that you can download and a good 70% of 720p, wont play without being converted.
It was easy for me. I currently have Avatar, District 9, and Serenity in 720P on my Xoom.
When you don't have apple forcing you 1 way sometimes that is the byproduct

I was able to get 720p going very smooth but 1080 not so smooth.
Ok thanks

Even on my laptop the 1080p video is intermittent. Audio is OK. 720p looks normal.
One point re Xoom is that the Xoom is basically 720p.

You are correct, Motorola does spec that it will play back 1080p, not 1080i which is one of the two broadcast standards in the US. The other standard being 720p.
MEDIA FORMATS Android core media formats
VIDEO RECORDING RESOLUTION (MAX) 720p HD (1280 x 720)
VIDEO RECORDING FRAME RATE 30 fps
VIDEO PLAYBACK RESOLUTION (MAX) 1080p HD (1920 x 1080)
VIDEO PLAYBACK FRAME RATE 30 fps
LOUDSPEAKER Stereo
The screen resolution on the Xoom is WXGA (1280 x 800) so the Xoom screen cannot display 1920 x 1080 directly without filtering.

HD in youtube app?

There is only an option for choosing standard and high quality. I was wondering if it is possible to play videos in HD. I tried the full youtube site but at 720p flash playback stuttered in the browser.
unless you have 720p screen, it wont serve any purpose to watch 720p videos. you get best quality when the video pixels and screen pixels are 1:1, since vibrant is 800*480, i think watching 480p will give you the best results.
I don't think so but why would you want to play it at 720p? The size of the screen makes high quality look like 720p...
Most of youtube content is converted to h.264 for mobile device consumption. They've converted and downsized the vids twice. Sd and hq. No other option through the app.

Sorry for my english.
I have a big problem.
The Galaxy tab 2 have write to package that the recorder video is Full HD (1080P) and the manual pag. 67, reporting that the video is 1280x800; why?
I have speak with Samsung Italy, the response are: you are right, sorry, i send immediately a email to Korea.
Please you tablet records video at 1080p?

It doesn't say 1080P recording but playback. It says HD on recording, but not full-HD. My P3113 records in 1280x720.

Actually, it says full 1080p HD playback and HD recording. It could be misleading if you don't catch that.

Edit: The recording is in HD, just 720p...
Maybe if you posted it in English.
The box is technically accurate but misleading. HD is anything 1280x720 or higher resolution. It will play back 1080P videos but will down convert them to 1280x720 since this is the tablets native resolution. It cannot playback 1080P videos at 1080P but it does not say that. It says it will play back 1080P videos. It should note *at 1280x720 resolution*. The only way it could play back full 1080P is if the screen resolution was 1920x1080 which it is not. It records in 1280x720 which again, is HD. If your planning to record HD video on this tablet I'm afraid you are going to disappointed. Quality is not that good in my opinion.

Why in Italy have FULL HD and in other Country HD?
I have buy a Tablet Full HD, i am now a tablet is not full hd, because the screen is 1281x720.

P.s. post your image.
Do you have a tab 2 7" or 10"? The 7" has a 3MP camera and thus can only do 720p. I think the 10" has more MP and can do 1080p recordings even though playback won't be 1080p. If you copy the recording to a computer, playback will be 1080p. Does that make sense?

No, it makes no sense, but if you sell a product for 1080P playback and recording in, because I can not see it on my tablet?
Also, if records in 1080P, how can I see if the screen is 1280x720? This is called false advertising in Italy
My tablet is 10".

Not really false advertising if it says HD playback not specifically 1010p HD playback.
I'm not trying to be a ****, but is not the purpose of recording videos , to share them. Therefore the 1080p playback on anything other than YOUR tablet is the desired outcome.
The OP may be right. I don't have the 10" model and my 7" specifically says 720p with a 3MP camera. Looking at this, it appears the 10" model has the same camera and also records in 720p. Can someone else confirm?

Maybe you should complain to the store you bought it from and ask for a refund if you are unhappy with it.
For myself, my galaxy nexus does 1080p video (but my display is 720p), and it is much more portable and convenient to use for recording. If I record a video, I prefer to watch it on my computer or TV. For me, the tablet is more of a portable web browser, gaming platform, eBook, and media streaming box. I can understand if you made your purchase for other reasons though.

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 model GT-P5113 and the box states "HD Video Capture and Playback", it doesn't specify 1080p or 720p on the box at all. The included recording app will let you choose a maximum resolution of 1280x720 for video recording.
Edit: http://www.samsung.com/us/system/co...tsyxar/Galaxy_Tab_II_10.1_Spec_Sheets_v13.pdf shows 1080p playback at 30fps and says nothing about the resolution of recording video, only that it has a 3MP camera.
You can't tell the difference between 1080 and 720 on anything smaller then a 32 inch screen anyways.

I agree, however, the issue the OP has is that he was expecting Full HD recording, which the Galaxy Tab 2 is not capable of.

[Q] 4k videos on Nexus 7 (grouper)

Is there any way to play 4k videos on Nexus 7? I had tried with different players (like MX Pro, XBMC etc.) but none of them worked. Some played only audio, some didn't read a file.

The Nexus 7 hardware does not support 4k playback
So what is the maximum resolution of video that Nexus will play? I have tried 2560x1440 but it still doesn't work. Is it "only" 1080p?
What's the point of playing a higher resolution? The nexus 7 is 720p, not 1080p. I'm sure it can play higher resolution videos, but you can't get a higher output than 720p.

Well i dose not support 4k
I just tested it with my note 3 4k recording
and all i got was a black screen but i got the sound from it
4K is too highe for nexus 7, compress your 4k videos in advance
Well... recording 4k-Video will be impossible because 4k is more than 8MP and the Cmaera-Module of the Nexus 7 has just 5 Megapixels!
But playing 4k-Video... - ?
I think the processing power is strong enough for 1440p but maybe it's to weak for 2160p!
