MKV and H264 level ?

---

Whoever has one can you check some things.

1. How high of a encoding level for h264 does it support , for comparison Nexus one does Baseline 3.1 anything higher then that will not work , main will stutter/crash and high woun't even start.

2. Can it playback h264 in MKV container ?

3. If yes to MKV is it full support with subs or some partial video only ?

To answer my own question it seems person at samsunggalaxy forum managed to run.

720p mkv Format profile : High@L3.1 with CABAC on.

Effectively makes Galaxy very awesome Video player

I wonder how well it does with re-encoded 800x4xx sized files. Also native AVI and AC3 support ftw!
Probably gonna watch more movies on my phone than on my projector.

720p mkv plays great.

So does re-encoded video files...i migrated all my HD2 encoded files over without a hitch.

the only sad part is that it doesn't have mini hdmi output like the EVO 4g.
bUt I'm still getting it anyway , since I see that ass an add on for when you go a friend house and want to play a movie you have in the phone on the tv.

Wow, this thing can play .mkv files and supports ac3 audio. I am excited...

yes.. the Galaxy S can play 720P MKVs flawlessly.. but it cannot read the embedded subs. I'm searching for an application that can play MKVs with subs..

I posted this at the Themes and Apps section but no one replied.

try mVideoplayer

UPDATE 2:
mVideoplayer v2.2.0 now support embedded subs from MKVs (only for SGS)

UPDATE 1:

mVideoplayer v1.6.7 above suports .ass (Sub Station Alpha) subtitles. Download mVideoplayer in the Android Market.
