Guest jlgmax Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I just got my Skate the other day and im running Atomic 8 overclocked to 998mhz and it is performing quite well. Ive downloaded Rockplayer but my old mp4 720p videos which I recorded using my previous Sony handset wont play (I get audio and a static frame which changes to a new frame every few seconds). I also cant play the mp4 720p videos Ive saved off youtube either. Is this just a resolution thing which the Skate isnt capable of handling or is there a better player to try ? Im also assuming that if it struggles with mp4 then .mkv is out of the question ?! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ipecac9 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 I use MX Video Player and I have nothing to complain about! Handles most codecs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Redstarr1 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 MX Video Player should play just about anything, I remember Rockplayer being definitely more sluggish. In MX you don't have advertisements or a watermark in the video (if you're using the free version). I put a 720p MPEG4 mkv on my Skate, and MX plays it, but it looks like a slideshow. I don't OC my phone as much as you do, but i don't think an extra 150 MHz will make it run so much faster that you could watch it. If you really want to play those 720p-files, I'd convert them using Handbrake or whatever video converter you like, to 480p h.264 mp4's. That would save you battery life and space on your SD-card because your videos would shrink to almost half the size (just a guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no point in 720p videos on the the skate or most phones at that... the screen is only 480p so it won't make a differance past that, anyway its just a bigger picture the higher the resalution gets so I don't think it would make any differance on a small screen Like phones have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest razzmataz1478 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 On MX, make sure you are using the H/W decoder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest oscar-mark Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Atleast .mp4 should work flawless in MX Player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
