A video player that doesn't lag?

[Guest rikuumi]

So the title speaks for itself! I have so far tried RockPlayer and some other random players including the stock one but I cant get flawless fps? Any ideas? And by the way I'm running Paul's Eclair r ROM

To play video on your blade you are advised to convert it to the native format of MP4 (with AAC audio).

I use Super Converter (it's free and super...).

Idiot's guide:

Open Super and drag the file/s you wanna convert into the window.

Select MP4 Output Container, H.264/AVC Output Codec, AAC LC Audio Codec

Video

Video Scale Size nochange (Unless source file is higher than 480p aka high-def films, you might wanna reduce this to a matching ratio around 420p)

note - I say 420p cos none of my sources have been higher than this, quality is good and playback smooth.

Aspect and Frame/Sec should match the source (Get source info by double clicking the file within super).

Bitrate should be no higher than source.

Options boxes - Tick Hi Quality, Stretch It, 48k Audio

Audio

Sampling Freq match source

Bitrate no higher than source

Press Encode! (And wait a while...)

For smaller file size - reduce the Video Scale size or Video bitrate.

ps if it's your first time using Super, it default outputs to the same folder as source. Change this by right clicking and choosing Output File Save Management

Even after this guide I expect questions.

Oh and one last point worth mentioning:

Now that you have your videos at native format DO NOT USE players that decode the video themselves (Like Rockplayer and others).

This will produce jerky as hell playback.

I recommend installing mvideoplayer cos it is amazing (Seriously.)

You can set custom brightness within the app and ff/rw through videos by swiping screen. You can also make your collection look professional by adding all the relevant posters!

Good luck,

Andy

UPDATE - After upgrading to 2.2 I can play avis pretty smoothly without converting (Playback using Rockplayer). I have not done extensive testing on this front and will continue to convert to mp4 because I find mvideoplayer to be a fantastic interface.

very smooth with froyo

Why is everyone using a Froyo? It's in an alpha stage..

edit: Which one would be the best?
