[Q] Smoothness of non-native video - Favor for Xoom owners.

[guardianali]

I am seriously buying one after doing my research of all the tablets coming out. Xoom still seems the best.

One of the make or break things for me is the smoothness of video playback.

On my evo, i use qqplayer, rock player, vplayer to watch tv shows/movies I converted with handbrake of my blurays and tv series. I stream these files over my home network. Some are plain divx avi's, some are 720p/1080p mkvs.When i feel like watching it on a trip or something, i just throw files on my phone to watch on the go.

Due to the small size of the screen, the phone plays the files as is just fine with no hiccups.

Can a Xoom owner, please install one of those apps mentioned, and throw both a sd video (divx avi like for a tv show episode) and a 720p and 1080p mkv (like the bd rip movies) and see how she plays them?
Any stuttering? Video/sound stay in sync?

I really do not want to reencode all my files to 'native hardware' accelerated support files. Hopefully the dualcore tegra is enough to run software decode via these players on the higher res screen smoothly.

Thanks

Did you search? There are a ton of 20 page threads already about this.

Honestly it's been done to death!

No, so far the Xoom will not play high profile h.264 files well.
