I just read the Phone arena review for the SGS2:
Here are the PROS and CONS:
PROS
Significantly improved Super AMOLED Plus display
The best handset for recording and watching Full HD video
The dual-core Exynos chipset meets and exceeds the benchmarks in its peer group
Future-proof collection of connectivity options
CONS
Design could be a bit more differentiating
Automatic screen brightness adjustments are not smooth
Motion sensor-powered gestures could see more practical usage
They gave it 9/10
However, they say this in the review:
The Full HD 1080p video is one the best we've seen from a phone, largely due to the fluid 30fps it's captured with, and the good amount of detail. Granted, we've only seen retail 1080p samples from the LG Optimus 2X for now, which shoots with 24fps. The Samsung Galaxy S II records video in the .3GP format - we’d rather have .MP4 files, but you’d be able to record just one hour of Full HD 1080p video to the user-available internal memory, not the hour and a half you can now.
Can the people who have got the phone confirm this? all the previous reviews suggested that the phone can record video in .mp4 format that too at a very good bitrate.
Can someone please clarify??
Thanks in advance.

Can someone that have the GSII confirm wether video recorded by this phone are in 3Gp or in mp4 format ?

Yep I second this, however when I look at the format of the video on my phone it says 3gg, but when viewed from kies it states it's a mp4. My phone also indicates that I have 1.5 hours at 1080p, so I can confirm that too.
To be honest you should use 720 res. The autofocus is a bit laggy in 1080 when moving the camera about.

For recording 16:9 the phone must be vertical or horizontal?

Mine shows as 3gpp.
Why are people saying it records in mp4, if you go to the details of the video it shows as 3gpp.
Ok this is weird, it shows as 3gpp on the phone but when I transfer it to pc it shows as mp4.
When I download a video from youtube though it shows as mp4 on the phone though
The recording is in Mp4 format

Anyone happen to know what the bitrate/settings are of the preloaded Avatar movie? I'm trying to convert my bluray 720p down to a 480x800 friendly size, but it keeps looking like crap. Or, it'll look great, but end up being about 3.5gbs. I played with a Vibrant at the T-Mobile store and the copy of Avatar was crystal clear.
I gave up and ordered a 16gb class 6 micro sd card. Problem solved!
Though, if anyone does happen to find out the details, I'd still love to know.

What are you using to encode? I personally use RipBot with a variable bitrate. I set the encoder to mp4/avc (h.264), res to 800x480,and the average bitrate to 1500. These videos have looked excellent for me and should be more than enough.

Awesome, I'll try it out. I'm using Any Video Converter free.
Xilisoft Video Converter has been good to me over the past two or three years. It converted from DVD to a format my iPhone would read. Now all the movies I buy mostly have a digital copy so I don't use the software as much any more. My Vibrant plays back everything (MP4/DivX/WMV/H.264/H.263)that plays on the iPhone so no need to convert either.

You can't use the digital that comes with it. Its meant for iDevices or Windows media devices. I just use Handbreak to convert my videos and use a custom preset with the resolution of the phone and an average bitrate of 1200 and its good.

I hope when you say resolution of the phone you mean 1280X720, because there is no reason to go any lower unless the original file was not HD.

When I say the resolution of the phone, I meant 480 x 800. Unless your gonna output to the TV via DLNA or a Micro USB to HDMI cable, there is no point to have a 720p.
As of right now I found no way to look at the stats for the avatar movie since its a protected file...except that it is around 1gb in size, so by that I'm assuming the bitrate is anywhere from 1500-2000 if that helps...and the size must just be the size of the phone 800x480

I recoded a 4.13gb HD movie down to 2200 bitrate and it turned out 1.52gb... that was 1280x720 though. Avatar is (or should be) 800x480 so it may have a slightly higher bitrate... avatar.dcf is 1.40gb.
The included trailer is encoded at 1300ish kbits so its safe to assume that Avatar is also encoded at this rate.

I agree. I can drop the bitrate to well under 1000 for a basic DVD rip and it still looks great.
Hm, that could be it. I'll double check.
Update: Yeah, I setup RipBot correctly this time and it came out perfect. Bitrate's about 1350kbps @23fps. 800x450. 1.6gb. I don't think I had the h264 mp4 option selected at the bottom the first time.

Hello fellow Android Bros/ Sis!
I was searching through google and XDA and found myself here. I was really interested in the outcome of your video. My question is:
1) Was this video a conversion from a Blu Ray movie or a regular HD movie/ file?
2) What were your Audio Output settings?
Short History: I have both the Captivate and the Vibrant, and wanted to see if i could just use my Blu Ray Movie of Avatar to Rip and Convert for the Captivate since my Vibrant already has it. Plus i also wanted to be more familiar with Handbrake myself (have converted dozens of HD movies so far), but Blu Ray is an issue for me. As far as video, i can transcode no problem. Audio on the other hand, is either slow-distorted-muffled or no sound at all. Regardless of which audio codec i tried.
Thoughts?
WHAT UP, NICE avtar, HOW DID U PUT G.O.W IN YOUR PROFILE?
Avc is a horrible encoder. I had a crystal clear 1.5gig avatar file in aweird format that avc'ed and it came out with 200 megs in the ****tiest quality ever.

since I see the videos uploaded on youtube, unfortunately the quality of video in 720p is very poor, it is the fault of youtube?, I see more in this sensation, we have no hope in the future for video on this device to 1080 p?
For me to have a good quality video is very important.
I do not know what to say. Depends on the video, although it is 720p, there are many factors that matter in sharpness.
I say it's youtube, I have some videos and I can say the video looks far superior on my device..

The difference between 1080p and 720p is irrelevant on anything under 50"
The video either sucks because you are not good at recording and correcting your settings appropriately or YouTube compressed your video,

Damn, that's impressive. The 3D doesn't come close....
So I picked up my tablet today and started fooling around with it installing apps etc. I read that this tablet has support for .mkv video files so I tried a couple of those but noticed that the playback was very choppy. I then tried converting a few into .mp4 which didn't seem to help much because those were also quite choppy.
Had anybody else experienced this? Are there any solutions for fixing this?
Thanks.

I'm assuming you're using stock video player, right? Why don't you try e.g. MX Video Player and then experiment with software / hardware decoding options? Since I've been using it I've seen no more stutters in video. The app is free.
I've downloaded 720P film 4gb and it plays smooth on stock and Diceplayer. I think it's the way it's encoded. But your best choice is to buy Diceplayer that uses hardware acceleration its totally worth it and its constantly updated...

I tried diceplayer but it didn't make a difference. How are you encoding the video?

Now why would you play 1080p on screen that does not support it? It is hd screen but not full hd.
720p will be easily playable up to 600Kbits.

Because it rescales the video and depending on the codecs and bit rates it can run just fine. Same reason why I play 720p on my Captivate. Because I can and it looks great and fits the screen nice.

Last i checked this tablet is supposed to playback 1080p videos no problem.
Another video thread and more confused people.
The Tegra 2 is NOT capable of playing most HD video. The video accelerator which decodes the stream (this is separate from the GPU) is too slow to decode most HD video.
People need to understand the encoding profiles to understand why. The Tegra 2 is only capable of decoding 1080p stream ONLY if the video was encoding using Baseline setting profile. The problem is NOBODY uses Baseline profile to encode h.264 video because its obsolete and offers poor compression.
So what do we have left? We have Main profile and High profile.
Tegra 2 can only decode 720p Main profile at LOW bitrate only. If the video is encoded with Main profile over 4mb/s bitrate you are out of luck as the Tegra 2 is simply too slow to decode it. You can forget High profile encoded video unless its encoded in super low bitrate.
So what the problem? The problem is NOBODY encodes in Baseline profile.
You have to understand Tegra 2 is a VERY old chip. Almost 2 years old now and the GPU and video accelerator is the same as the ANCIENT Tegra 1 from about 3 years ago.
The moral of the story is Tegra 2 is NOT fast enough to decode most of todays HD videos. The best you can do is re-encode the videos you want in Baseline profile. Ya, what a PITA....Thank Tegra 2 for that.

Oh god more troll nonsense, listen at the end of the day we have a fantastic tablet that plays back most everything ive thrown at it using the stock player and dice/mxplayer. Bottom line these devices are not designed to replace a media center, they are portable devices that are designed for convenience, and i think the Tegra2 is a fantastic chipset. The screen itself is 720p, there is no reason to be watching 1080p video on the device. It will give you a slightly sharper picture assuming the internal scaler is effective but nothing more. I dont know what this guy is talking about the tegra2 being an old chip, its probably the most advanced CPU/GPU combination on the market, considering we have 100's of people in the dev community continually finding ways to push every bit of power out of it beyond stock.
Stop trolling threads dude, people want answers not smart ass speculation.

I am sorry but your post offer no useful information. I checked the Limitless movie and its only encoded at 1840 Kbps. Thats pretty low bitrate and as I stated the tegra 2 can play that back in Baseline or Main. If that movie was encoded at 5mbps Main profile it would choke the tegra 2.
If you transfer files from a MAC with kies for MacOS then it corrupts videos and photos (it is a known problem).

Yep. I am all new to this but I noticed 1080p is overkill as well. I am running at 720p or BDrip x264 in 2gb to 4gb and detail is perfect. I converted most of my favorite movies to 720p and running with latest dice player. No issues whatsoever.
Cool,thank you.i will also try the dice Player when i am at home.

To anyone saying 1080p is a waste... of course it is on this device.
But people store their videos generally with 1 copy in the best quality. So I need to be able to watch my 1080p videos, even though it's overkill, because I'm not going to re-encode another 720p copy and store that somewhere. I'm going to store one 1080p copy.

I use handbrake. Depending on the source, but for the most part, I make sure the width is 1280px. I set the quality to 21, baseline profile, and then convert. My friends say the videos I've converted look great.

Handbrake is the shizzle.
so, is video the only reason you bought a tablet? I don't watch movies on little screens when I have an HDTV at home. I typically have a drink in one hand so holding my tab in the other would get old. Tab runs great for everything except 720 and 1080 movies apparently. If you want to watch movies on the go, by a portable blu-ray player, not a tab. Tegra 2 runs great! Tab runs great on task's roms BTW!

Yeah, handbreak is the best converter even if you use mac!
Been using MX Video Player with the codec pack for Tegra2. Switch it to the SW decoder, and it's not perfect but pretty good.

Its not really fair to say "buy a portable blu ray player". Samsungs site says it can play 1080p, which in some cases it can and cant. Most of the time it cant.

Question for anyone who already has a XZU - are you able to test the playback of a file created by a GoPro Hero 3 for example at 1080p and 60fps?
My Nexus 10 struggles to play back this kind of video file when I am away on a snowboarding trip and I want to watch back footage. I use it to copy the video files off the SD cards onto a portable HDD just fine but it sucks having to wait until I get back home to my PC to watch these things properly.
I am hoping with the Snapdragon 800, I'll be able to watch back the videos without slow down or having to slow the frame rate down - thanks.

The video file is in 8bits or 10bits? I suppose you're talking about 10bits since 1080p 8bit files runs fine with the Snapdragon 600.
I've tested myself, running a 1080p 10bit file on my phone, there's visible slow and frame skip at some heavy scenes. Just like how my Samsung S4 tries to handle a 720p 10bit file (Snapdragon 600).
Maybe when root is possible and custom kernel comes, maybe some performance tweaking, Snapdragon 800 can make it.
Thanks for the reply - I will check later if they are 10-bit, but right now I suspect they are.

Hmm, not sure how to determine if they are 10 bit videos but I can see the data rate at 30013kbps and the total data rate at 30141kbps.
So I now have an XZU and tried some 1080p 60fps video recorded by my GoPro - plays beautifully. What a device.
Does it play 1080p 60fps protune movies?

I don't use protune, I'm sorry. If I get a file from someone to try out I will post back here.
