I am using 2.3.5 official update.
720p videos are working fine with MX player with hardware decoding on.
But 1080p videos are not working with hardware decoding. It plays with a lot of lag with software decoding in MX player.
I am wondering if I overclock the device will it play 1080p videos with software decoding.
Is there any other way I can play 1080p videos on this device.

1080p videos are working well in MX player but with some slowness on CM7.2 (.32 kernel) and with overclocking to 1.8 Ghz. That's for me, maybe it'll be different for others.

Hello !
Yesterday I was very much surprised when I downloaded all mp4 HD video from my SGS2 to the TAb and neither file couldn't be played on stock player. After hours of rush in the Internet I tryied almost all other known players but the bext I achieved was slow motion video in dice player. What is your expereience? Did anybody run smoothly HD videos on his device?
720p is fine. 1080p is not. You can grab bsplayer free from the market, very nice player.
I believe the only hardware accelerated codec is H264 so any video not in that format would have issues with 1080p. I personally played a 720p Xvid, over the network, using MX Player last night. DICE had speed problems with it.
In my experience DICE is better for MKV and MX is better for AVI etc.
there's discussions and recommendations about this in this thread

If there is any app that would do it if the hardware was up to spec it would be Dice Player. It eats all my 720p MKV's for breakfast but still can't do 1080p.
Does anyone know if the 7.7" version plays back 720p MKV without any problems?
I have the original 7.0", and it plays 720p MKV perfect!
I also have a 10.1", but that one is struggling with 720p MKV in stock and other players. (on both HC3.1 and 3.2). Apparently the Tetra2 is not ideal for this...
This is my only deal-breaker for the 7.7.
Would really appreciate your feedback!

Because they forgot to implement the NEON chipset!
1080p/720p mkv's shouldn't be a problem on the 7.7 with MX Player or DICE.

Nope, no problem at all.
It can play 1080p, 8 bit , high bitrate movie with hardware decoding just fine( use mxvideoplayer with arm7 neon codec)
No problems playing 720p mkvs. Heck I can even play 10-bit 720p anime files using MX Player in SW mode. You'll notice a very slight fps drop during panning scenes and such but audio, video, and subs still stay in sync so it's quite watchable. Heard once you get ICS you will be able to take advantage of HW mode on all videos, even 10-bit.
I'm using rooted official 2.3 rom. when I play mkv 720p movies , video plays at lower frame rate than usual and problem in audio video sync. I use mx player and hardware decoder is not available for mkv. can please anyone suggest me some tips to play 720p smoothly. and is there hardware decoding available in new adreno driver in dzo ics for mkv?
I m using bsplayer lite tha supports mkv.
720p on nearly 480p device?
Professionals can correct me, there are few reasons why it won't play in full speed:
1) .mkv files need usually the same space as .mp4, but it has better quality. BUT needs more power to play. That is the disadvantage of matroska. So if there is too high bitrate on the video, it lags/wents off sync. Overclocking might help.
2) 720p??! Really? This phone CAN record 720p video with good fps, but only in good light conditions. You can even watch them (because they are so low-bitrate), but if you have like 720p movie, it lags due to high bitrate it needs to look clear. BUT why would you want to play 1280x720 (16:9 ) resolution video in 800x480 (16:10) resolution screen? Shapes will look odd... I would prefer 480p (854x480).
3) I'm guessing that your movie is on your memorycard? If your memorycard is too slow, can that be the reason for lagging too. This can be fixed with faster memorycard.
4) Switch to Moboplayer. I don't have any experience of mxplayer, but Moboplayer can use hardware decoding for that.
I bought me a Lenovo Tablet yesterday and wanted to try out to play HD Videos on it.
Sadly my videos are lagging and the audio is async... I tried it with MX Player and Mobo Player, both installed the ARMv7 Codec. What i'm curious about is, that the Tegra v2 Chip should to decoding of 1080p h.264 Material in Hardware (my video was h.264 720p in a MKV Container) and both players showed me that they decode the video in software...
Is there any player that can play my mkv videos without lagging around? Or do i just need to adjust something?

Try different players but it's def not capable of 1080 and even has issues with 720p main and high profile
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
mhh but the nvidia site says something different...
so the chip itself should take care of that... maybe its just a firmware issue?
The screen is 1200x800 so there's really no way to play 1080p on it. Even 720p is going to be cropped. The only way to do 1080p is over HDMI without mirroring but apparently that isn't very smooth so 720p seems like a much better option.
Tried a reboot and/or turning Wifi off/on again? It's worked for me.
Basically the chip can do it. The Tegra 2 has some special HW IP inside that will do the decoding. Most of the Tegra 2 tables are unable to use it because the vendors are not supplying the codecs and filters that make use of the HW block. So you are somehow limited to the codecs and resolutions that are choosen by the manufacturer/Nvidia. You can't change anything and as far as I know Nvidia also isn't distributing this part open.
I'm also quiet disappointed seeing that chinese pads with Telechips MCU (ARM11 single-core) can playback almost everything up to full-HD and the Thinkpad Tablet can't.
Dice Player.
It is the ONLY working HW accelerated player in my experience....
mkv files, everything plays well on it....
It seems like Samsung did try hard to make multimedia experience good out of the box for the S4. MKV files will play as expected in multiple apps including moboplayer, native video player. My nexus 10 and 5 wont play mkv files correctly unless i use mx player.
What really surprised me though is that i notice when playing back most of my xvid files, moboplayer would indicate hardware acceleration also. Is that really true? If that is so then S4 even beat the video card in my desktop .
Then again the outside of the box in the back did say DIVX HD...
Anyone else can second this?
So how is it that the S4 seems to play xvid with hardware acceleration. The nexus 5 appears to also play divx with hardware acceleration using mx player. So these new qualcomm chipsets can somehow play divx and xvid using hardware acceleration. Amazing!!!
