[Discussion][Updated on Nov.16 ]HTC HD2 video playback performance@Sample Video

---

[B]hi everybody, ever since i read RacerII's 720p showoff video thread, i found the original helicopter show off video. it's 1080p video can be downloaded on here.
part1.rar

part2.rar

i checked the RacerII's video the resolution is not enough, format settings is not good enough. I believe HD2 can play a further advanced video. so i use TMPGEnc.XPress converter and put up a higher settings for this video. HD2 plays this video very very smooth. you can see the settings below:

my moded video DOWNLOAD HERE


guys , strictly speaking, this is only the 480p video, i also believe that this still doesn't reach HD2's playback limit. would you have some ideas/advices,etc. Please post here , we can learn together.

continuing testing yesterday. use NVIDA Cuda (H.264) to encode my videos. HD2 has the ability of playing 800x480 with bitrate of 3900kbps 30fps(only on small file) it's very smooth, pretty clear. BUT! a complete movie(14gb's 1080p blue-ray ISO movie) will get as large as 2.33GB after the encoded. wmp or htc album won't open it, because its so large file?


Nov. 16 GMT+8

for the settings of the following is very ok to play on htc hd2 (even in large file)
resolution: 800x480
Container: MP4
Codec: H.264, 2-pass
format Profile: HIGH
format Level: 4
Bitrate: 2000kbps-2400kbps
bitrate mode: constant/variable both ok
CABAC: On
scan type: progressive
frame rate: 30fps

Nice , and it already looked very good.

This is great news. What software did you use to play this video?

Hi JohnQ, could you please encode/try a sample with Cabac on, you might have to play it with Coreplayer though as Album or WMP probably can't handle it, it will improve the quality of the video. Coreplayer should be able to play it smoothly, even without hardware acceleration.

CorePlayer benchmark was published already. What worries me a bit more is that they claim in that review that the hardware accelerated HTC Album doesn't support .avi, contrary to what xmoo here is saying.

i tried to enble the CABAC, HTC album and wmp performs better, but on core player, its so laggy

Hi JohnQ, thanks for your test!
