I dont have the tablet yet but I'm going to buy and doing some research now,

how if we dont convert the file format ? is it possible to watch or is it laggy?

does the sound and the screen match?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] gogol:
Why would you do that?

The screen resolution is not even 1080 pixel height.

Don't you know that?

It's a waste of resources.

Try to get 720p instead.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nakedninja42:
Let me know what your research shows. I've been converting blu ray and mkv into 720p mp4 using DVD catalyst 4, real simple setup. From what I found out, mkv files do not work on any tablets because mkv is a container. If you convert it to mp4 then any tablet can handle it, including my phone galaxy s captivate :). Takes me an average of 3-4 minutes per TV show and 10-20 on a movie. I stopped encoding at 1080p because there was not much difference other than size of file.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dcc22:
they work but not with high profile settings. you need to reduce them.

you can google what high profile for mkv is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoodoomagic:
The answers you are looking for: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060825
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
mkv is not a format, its a container for H.264 format.

You should be asking "is it possible to play 1080p H.264 in the galaxy tab 10.1?"

The answer is yes BUT (and a BIG BUT) you can only do so if the H.264 file is encoded in the old H.264 baseline profile which nobody uses anymore.

Tegra 2s video accelerator is way to slow to play H.264 videos that are encoded in the popular Main/High profiles which everyone uses today. Yes its unfortunate but you have to recode all your videos to baseline profile if you want to watch on ANY tegra 2 based units.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] hoodoomagic:
The tab, along with every other Honeycomb 3.1, tegra 2 device plays H.264 high profile 720p and main profile 1080p video just fine.

Although given the screen resolution, playing back 1080p video of any profile is pointless.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 5thElement:
Correct it CAN play them back but at only very low bitrate and 1080p is not pointless since you can hookup to TV or monitor via HDMI
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] e.mote:
I did some testing on bitrates for the Teg2 at 720p HP here,

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15054949&postcount=250

it does OK at 6Mb/s, and chugs when bits hit 10Mb/s. 6Mb/s avg is about the ceiling for most 720p videos, so one can generalize that the Teg2, at HC3.1, will play a fair number of 720 H264 HP videos (in MP4 format). Ruminations are that HC3.2 will speed things up a bit further.

The clip, along with others, are here if anyone wants to try them:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Metzenw:
I've played with h.264 video on the Gtab, Use Baseline profile for best results. I've done some encoding in High Profile, and baseline, and compared screen captures, and you can't tell the difference, it has mostly to do with Compression, the higher your Profile (Ref Frames, B Frames, CABAC) the smaller your video file will be without suffering Quality lose. Just that higher profile requires more horsepower to decode, which Tegra 2 does not have.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ph00ny:
hmm samsung should have gone with the SGS II guts. It plays pretty much whatever you throw at it
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Danstek:
Honeycomb only supports Tegra 2 CPUs. HC 3.2 brings support for Qualcomm CPUs. I could only wish this thing had the SGSII CPU.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Croak:
Yeah, much as I like my Tab, I always feel like I'm taking a step back when I use it after using my SGS2...both in speed and display. I'd queue up in the pouring rain for a week to get a SAMOLED tablet.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ianken:
Which explains why I am playing 720p24 high profile h.264 with no problems. Oh. Wait. No it doesn't.

Tegra 2 can handle high profile fine at 720p as long as you avoid wighted p frames. However the stock player does not. Enter diceplayer, built on the NDK and supporting all T2 decode capabilities. The stock player is totally borked.

1080p however is another problem. But you'll probably hit the fat32 4GB file size limit with those anyway before you encounter issues with high profile content. None of my 1080p MKVs will fit on the device anyway due to the fat32 limitation, so transcoding it pretty much a given. So I tend to go to 540p or even 480p just to save space. The screen is small, and while I can tell the diffeence between a clean 720p encode and 480p it doesn't bother me in this scenario. And if you drop down to 480p weighted p frames work again.

So, essentially Mr. Element, you don't what the hell you're talking about.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ShannonAUT:
I can only support what ianken said. I can play 720p hig profile just fine with Diceplayer.

Here is a test clip to see on your own. http://www.multiupload.com/CJU6YB5JC3

It is in High 4.1 Format
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bilsmaks:
just thought id let you know it does play 720p mkv files just fine (tested on my galaxy 7" with no skipping or slowness at all) assuming since it works on the 7" the 10" wouldnt have any issues with it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ph00ny:
Not entire true since manufacturers can add their own drivers to the OS

I highly doubt gingerbread is tailored to a single platform
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] krips2003:
I'm can play 720p high profile without any issues on Galaxy S Captivated. Gtab 10.1 and other HC tablets are using tegra2, that has some issues playing mkv high profile 720p. So far maker of diceplayer are the only one who have figured out how to make use of tegra2 to decode high profile 720p.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Akerfeldt:
So it is effectively possible to play 720p high profile H.264 format in .mkv files on the gtab 10.1, hardware decoded, with dice player, at fair bitrates, but not with stock player. That's the conclusion on this thread?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] crushedlizard:
Thanks! I'd tried quite a few players and had given up on 720p mkv support.

I just tried Dice Player and it was a bit choppy. Cleared up some memory and tried again and it was as smooth as an mp4 conversion!

And best of all, it hides the menubar just like the stock player.

Superb app. I strongly recommend people download the trial version (3 days) to test out their mkvs.

This tab is so good!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ShannonAUT:
Yep you got that right.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] anniemayday:
;)yes, I have converted my dvds to videos with mkv 1080p format via the Brorsoft DVD Ripper and played all of them on the moboplayer. They can be played well with full screen when your audio channel is changed to stereo. If you find your videos can not be played very well, you can try to convert them via the Brorsoft Video Converter which I have been using and proved fine.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ShannonAUT:
But I doubt that it is high profile. :-)

Could you post the settings of the transcoder? Like bitrate and such.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] anniemayday:
That's ok! Here goes my seetings:

video

Codec:h264

Size:1920*1080 or 1440*1080 or 1280*720(you can choose as you like or take the limitation of your player into consideration)

Bitrate:high quality or medium quality

Frane rate(fps):30

Audio

Codec:aac or ac3

Channels:stereo or 5.1 channels

They are all high definition profiles, I think.

Does anyone know how to play .DAT files in android I tried with mobo and some other but no chance
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
Hi all,

I am so excited now, can't wait to tell all you guys that news :p

Maybe someone know that I have upgraded our kernel to the newest kernel tree from nvidia's git and waiting for it to be stable for daily use. However, I found it can't boot in the newest ACER's stock ROM yesterday. After one full day hack, it finally can boot in the stock ROM now.

However, the last function I can't confirm is HDMI support, so I want some volunteers to test HDMI support and the stability. If you use vache's Taboonay 0.9.x and are interested in it, please PM me :)

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] vache:
I can test the stability, but not the HDMI output.

P.S : Nice to see you here roggin ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] daveid:
I can test hdmi, only 720p, but at least I can verify that.
[Acer Iconia A500] Johnny0906:
What kernel is it? If I may ask.

Can it OC?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Nvidia's kernel is the ORIGINAL kernel, all others base their continued work on, so Acer use these updates as reference..
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
Can you check up on the bluetooth issue on this kernel you make..

I know tiamat/xoom kernel is really close to stock nvidia kernel too (or fully supported with drivers). so maybe something dirty needs changing..

havent had chance to fix..

problem for now, seems to be it can scan, but seems to timeout on transmitting, so it suddenly cannot see new units after some minutes. maybe worth doublechecking.
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
Hi vache,

Coooool, it's so nice to see you here :D

I have pm you the link, please take it a try :p

Thanks for your help again
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
sorry, I haven't added OC code in it, but I will add it when it stable enough :)

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
Hi Dexter_nlb:

I have tested the bluetooth function in this kernel, it works fine in my kernel :)

If you are interested in it, I can mail or share a link of my kernel source for you

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] PhilipZ:
Hi Roggin,

I play with versions and can test HDMI 1080P with Taboonay 0.9.1. Please send me the link to kernel. Do you make also modules, especialy for 3G?
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
please do :) i would love to play around with it "internally" and testing...

im little occupied atm, so hdmi can be tested, and regular use for now..

I can probably make you the oc add-ons and see how it turns out with your work and send you my diff back.. (don't know git commit)
[Acer Iconia A500] snickle:
I would be willing to due some stability testing with the acer stock rom.

Let me know.
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
Hi Dexter_nlb,

It's a big big help that you can help me :),

I am not releasing kernel source is because I don't want to brick someone's tablet, but It's ok for power developer like you.

I am uploading the kernel, I will info you when uploading done :)

Thanks for your help
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
Hi snickle,

I think it's fine using Taboonay's ramdisk in stock rom, but not sure :p

If you can help me for test, I will pm the link for you

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
If they know how to compile it, then I guess they can enjoy their brick :) :P

Just be careful not releasing the source code, as it is under a open licence. I'm pretty sure that's why thor2002ro's kernel thread was deleted by moderators off fo this forum. I don't want to see another Kernel development go south because it wasn't public :).
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
I think the usage of ramdisk should be optional, because it might not allow to encrypt your device, and as you hopefully know, encryption is necessary to allow exchange activesync connection for email push, except if somebody finds out a what has to be modified to use activesync without encryption.

I also join ShadowXVII concerning the kernel source, if somebody wants to brick his device, it's up to him, but be carefull not to get removed because you did not publish the source.

otherwise well done my friend.
[Acer Iconia A500] themono:
You only have to publicly release the source if you publicly release the binary - he's only obliged to give the source to the people he gave the binary to. So there's no problems :)

On that note: I've just flashed Taboonay and am happy to give your kernel a try. I don't have a dev environment set up these days, but if you can send me the boot.img I'll take a crack at it.
[Acer Iconia A500] ShadowXVII:
Cool, thanks for the clarification. Just being cautious as I'd prefer Kernel development wasn't hindered at all. That being said, a public source may promote development as opposed to ending up with several different kernels by different developers. I'm all for collaboration, and it's great to see some within this thread :)

On a side note, any Kernel developers that may be able to shed some light onto this thread would be appreciated -- in particular, the kernel requirements for networking over USB; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15452414#post15452414 :)
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
Hi all,

It's not I don't want to release it. It's almost 300+ patches between older and newer version, and include some regulator voltage patch. I want to sure not damage any part in all functions. :)

Give me one more days, when I collect all necessary response from tester, I will release it

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] Dexter_nlb:
I did exactly the same on the tiamat kernel, waited and hoped to had time debugging the bluetooth issue, but got modarator complaints on not publicing any source :(

anyways, as long as no binary appear in this thread, i think you're safe from any mods attacking you on GPL issues (or do like thor200ro move it offsite, if you feel like breaking GPL)

Talk is just talk for now, no mods can argue against that for now..
[Acer Iconia A500] thor2002ro:
my kernel doesn't have any bluetooth problems...

PS: roggin careful patching too much will create serious problems...
[Acer Iconia A500] roggin:
Hi thor2002ro,

Yeah, I know, thanks for your advices :) , so I am carefully dealing with these patches and conflicts :p. And it's works fine for now

Thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] bonzer2u:
Lookin forward to your release.....
[Acer Iconia A500] _motley:
Thanks to a couple tips from thor and roggin;), I now also have an alpha kernel running with the official 3.1 Acer ROM. I started with the Acer 3.0 kernel base and my intention is to only change what needs to be changed to properly support HC 3.1. I haven't had a chance after staying up late last night to do much testing, but it is running smoothly for the most part (wifi, touchscreen etc.), but, I the following major issues that are likely interrelated. At first glance, it seems it is likely a some sort of crypto/release keys mismatch or something between the HC 3.1 base and the kernel.

Known issues:

h264/omx libraries issue, can't play any video, playing youtube vid in the browser causes FC.

camera/camcorder force close when entering app.

Any ideas on where to look?

P.S. I agree, once you try to merge one fix from Nvidia, it becomes a slippery slope...a wild chase through the dependicies of other prior fixes. Having fun, but it is very tedious! I won't likely be releasing any binaries or source unless I get to the point where I think they will beneficial to others. This is mainly for my own learning experience and I know we have more experienced devs here. I am a quick learner though, so you never know!

[Vega Android Development] Zebwen:
This is an extremely simple ROM modification to the standard Advent Vega 1.10 system image that only alters a couple of things. These are as follows:

/system partition size increased from 128mb to 155mb. (The reason for this will be explained below)

su and SuperUser.apk added - You can use root apps as standard now.

ClockworkMod Recovery built-in.

Added Pauls simple recovery reboot app to get into CWM recovery.

That's all! No google apps, nothing else, just these simple changes. This isn't intended to be used as an everyday ROM (although there is no reason why you couldn't).

The main reason for this, is to be used as ROM base for VegaComb (and any other ROM you wish to use). I have been struggling with the Vega's default partition sizes while trying to port Honeycomb, and rather than spending tons of time trying to make stuff way smaller than it was ever intended to be, this seems like the better option.

So, flash this in nVflash recovery mode (exactly the same as the stock 1.10 image) and off you go. Done. No need to do anything else. You can use this base with any ROM, the ONLY downside is that 30mb of storage has been re-allocated from /data to /system, which most people won't even notice.

ALL future versions of VegaComb will require that you use this modded system image as a base (as they will require more than 125mb of /system space). To return your partitions back to the way they were, just re-flash the stock 1.10 image from www.myadventvega.co.uk (this is the ONLY way to restore your partition sizes, restoring from a Nandroid backup will NOT change your partition sizes back). You DON'T have to return to stock when you want to switch from using VegaComb, all other ROMs should work perfectly fine on top of this base, including Corvus5 and CM7.

Also, it's handy to have this in case you brick your Vega as CWM is pre-installed :P

AS ALWAYS MAKE SURE YOU NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING ANYTHING!

Is there a version to be used with rom manager? :confused:

[Vega Android Development] Logseman:
You need to use your PC because this ROM changes the partition sizes in the internal memory, and you need a PC program (nvflash) for that purpose.

Currently using vegacomb 0.6, i want to nandroid backup, install the new Rom base, then nandroid restore, and then upgrade to vegacomb 0.7 via the upgrade patch, in order not to loose all my settings.

So I would like to do a Nandroid backup, but being Android illiterate, i havent found how to do it in vegacomb 0.7.

Thank you in advance. :)
[Vega Android Development] Stransky:
Hi

Switch off your Vega.

Connect it to the PC with the USB Cable.

Hold the power button on the Vega for 2 secs

Hold the back button while still holding the power button for a further 2 secs.

Release the power button but keep holding the back button for a further 2 secs.

You should now have a black screen and the Vega should be recognized on your PC (check in Control panel under USB for Nvidia Harmony or Shuttle)

The above assumes that you have installed the drivers.

Then open Modded Stock v1 or 2 which you should have already downloaded to the PC and it will install on the Vega (Vega will show NV Flash mopde across the top of the screen)

Once Modded stock is installed go to the apps menu and the recovery app is there. If you have already downloaded and put on your SD Card, the Vegacomb 9n Rom run the recovery and it will put you into CWM.

Wipe data, cache and in advanced the Dalvik cache.

Then select install from SD card and select the Rom and it will install.

If you continue to have problems Google Vegatools 4.1 and download and install

and it can do all the hard work.

Hope this helps
