720p video playback ftw

---

I downloaded some 720p video trailers and downsampled them with ffmpeg to 2Mbps and I'm happy to say they played smooth and beautifully with the stock player and mVideoPlayer. Seeking was also very quick. I did try the trailers without any downsample (they were pretty high bitrate) but they wouldn't play, so I don't know if it was a bitrate issue or something else. Next test is 720p HDMI out as soon as I receive my type D cable from Hong Kong.

how's shooting 720p videos in the dark? Do the fps go down?

shooting 720p sucks ass and looks bad, i don't recommend it. plus it shoots in mpeg4/3gp format instead of h264/mp4 which is lame.

720p playback is all great and fun, but... will it play H264 Main/High profiles? As with my current nearly-dead Touch Pro I can only play H264 baseline profiles smoothly, Main/High profiles arent supported so CorePlayer has to use software rendering, which for 480p vid does only ~8fps

You can use mpeg4 or h264 in the settings.
