video playback

[Guest gazza0210]

Does anyone have any issues in regards to video playback. I have some music videos that stutter or play but with no sound.

Also whats the best format to downloads videos in for the best playback.

Thanks as ever for yur help guys.

So far I've had the Vega (Corvus 5/SP1) playing 720p MP4 files (taken on my mobile), and regular Xvid (.avi) files.

Although I've had a few MP4 files that wouldn't play, the majority of Xvid files are absolutely perfect.

And out of interest, would definitely recommend the mVideoPlayer app on the market - truly excellent application, clean and effective interface, with a slick fast forward and rewind method.

The problem is twofold -

1 The Vega does not natively play audio encoded as AC3 - it doesn't have the codecs required. You can either remux the audio to a format which it does support such as AAC (using programs like Handbrake, Freemake, Gotsent or AVIDemux) or else play the videos in MoboPlayer which has the codecs as part of it.

2 If you are running Vegacomb, whilst it is a fantastic OS, hardware acceleration is not enabled yet. This means that videos will not play well. Using MoboPlayer in software decoding mode will fix some but not all of this.

I personally would normally recode videos to H.264 MP4 with AAC for the audio using Handbrake or Freemake. If the video is already in H.264 you can use these tools to only convert the audio.

Hope this helps
