[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
The xoom can handle those, but only very specific versions of those. For example, don't try playing a 720p high profile h.264 video, because it won't play. So if you torrented a 720p video for example and it was an mkv file, not gonna play since they are almost all high profile h.264. You can convert them to baseline h.264 and it will play up to 1080p, but converting is annoying and takes time.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padanfain:
I am not sure what is out there on torrents, but I have some MKVs that I encoded and they have a bitrate of around 3mbit. According to this general tips section:

The Xoom is supposed to be able to play video as long as the bitrate is under 20Mbit. The post references this:

https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/330326#330326

which says that realistically as long as the bitrate is under 4Mbit you should be fine.

The MKVs that I am trying to play, which are well under 20mbit and under 4mbit, skips like crazy and is unwatchable.

But the playback remains fairly choppy. So all we need is the great devs at Rockplayer to stick the right code in for hardware decoding.

Presumably the native player uses hardware decoding which is why it is able to play video with framerates around 4mbit.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

Download that and after installing, open it up and drag your mkv file into the window. Bet you that those videos are high profile h.264 which is the reason for the choppiness.

The reasons your processor max out in software mode is that its using the CPU to play the file. It drops down using hardware acceleration because its the GPU playing the file.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padanfain:
I used mediainfo to get the bitrate, which is under 4Mbit, which is under the limit that is quoted on the Motorola website. The fact that they may be a specific "media profile" in whatever converter you are using makes no difference -- only the bitrate is important.

Also, as mentioned in my post, I understand that the CPU drop is due to the use of hardware rendering. We still have to wait for either specific Xoom GPU support in Rockplayer or optimized code changes in Rockplayer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] padanfain:
Also, it appears that the native movies app is able to play my MKV files. It plays them much smoother, but they are still too choppy and the sound doesn't come through. The audio track on this is an AC-3 48KHz, 384Kbps audio stream.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
No. You dont understand. The profile is everything. Bitrate means nothing. Tegra 2 is not capable of playing high profile hd h.264. The video you are trying to play is probably a high profile h.264 mkv file. There are various profiles for h.264 video. The Tegra 2 can play baseline profile. Almost all media is in high profile.

Do this for me, drag the media file you are trying to play into MediaInfo, and then go to View>Text. Then select the entire Video section and copy it and then paste it in here.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmd1970:
Thanks guys.

The sad thing is a cheap single core tablet with limited memory like the Archos 101 can play any video I throw at it without needing to convert them. The Archos 101 even plays DTS and AC-3 audio. Most of my videos are 720p HD and the only thing it doesn't play is 1080p. However, the Archos 101 is not perfect.

I was really hoping that the Xoom (or one of these other tablets) could at least come close to performing as well. How is it a company like Archos can make a cheap tablet perform so well (media wise) and these higher end tablets fall short?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modru2004:
software, honeycomb is buggy, its hardly optimized. no one really knows what the tegra 2 is capable of yet.

the facts are simple, there no tegra 2 device capable of playing high profile h264 right now.

tegra 2 devices are just now making it to market and its new untested unproven hardware.

secondly there are only two devices released or pseudo released(in the case of the adam) that even use this hardware. not alot of info to go on here.

at this point ask anyone here and they can't give you any 100% accurate answer, because we simply don't know. its ALL speculation at this point.

you have two camps on this issue. one camp, the hardware people claim that because both the adam and xoom use tegra 2 and can't play h264 high profile that its a hardware limitation.

the second camp takes the side that because this is new hardware, it needs proper software and drivers to handle the decoding and that this is the reason for the poor playback. this camp believes it will be fixed down the line with an update.

the second camp is the more feasible scenario. anyone that knows anything about hardware and software understands that hardware is worthless without good software.

let me give a prime example everyone knows video encoding takes time. if you want to encode a 20 minute video lets say you use handbrake and encode the video using your cpu in 14 minutes. but wait, whats this? you have a $500 nvidia graphics card in your system? its a big arse paper weight right now ain't it?

lets fix that, lets get the proper software and drivers and encode that same 20 min video by offloading to this powerful gpu. done in 5 minutes.(*actually times vary based off settings and actually hardware)

get the picture?

however, this does NOT mean that the tegra 2 is without fault. it could be the hardware and its simply not capable of high profile and never will be. we simply don't know, because we don't have any good information from nvidia or motorola or notion ink. we don't know what its true capabilities are.

all we know is that the tegra 2 with the current available devices and software cannot play high profile h264.

all the rest is speculation.

ill take him for his word when pigs fly out of his ass.

http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/tegra-devkit-features

its just hardware, no magical software to be had there. which means what? hes got the same software we do.

also id like to point out that there is a VAST difference between making android support another codec so it can play a video and making android offload to the gpu using drivers. key word there folks, drivers.

back to the cuda example, two things are needed to tango. first you need the proper nvidia drivers. and secondly, you need an application designed to work with those drivers in order to have it successfully utilize the gpu. xbmc can only proved the app to interface with what exists, they can't do anything else.

Is there like a cut off date for peoples denial about tegra 2's shortcomings? Like a year from now when it still can't play video H@L4.1 h.264, will people still be claiming its a lack of software?

Davilla did massive testing of the tegra 2. You think there were drivers from apple for the ipad? No.

Look, there may be a software solution if the tegra 2's cpu is powerful enough to decode hd h.264, but there is massive evidence that it will never hardware decode that video. I think its an important enough shortcoming to inform people about and not lead them on with some promise of future software.

From Xoom office website, we know that Xoom supports AAC, H.263, H.264, MP3, MPEG-4, ACC+ Enhanced, OGG, MIDI, AMR NB, AAC+. If u want to play video on Xoom, the video format and video coding must be correct.

So I suggest u convert your MKV files to Mp4 H.264 1280*720 for playing.

I did a test, and I can't find any diffirence between 1080P and 720P, SO I recomend convert video to 720P, and the converted file size is small. therefore, u can transfer more video to Xoom.

Freemake

I figured out how to get video on my Xoom before I found this, so here's another option.

I used Handbrake to get videos encoded for my Droid, but had zero luck for my Xoom (not having any information on the right profiles). So, I used FreeMake.

Despite the name overlap with a programming term, it was pretty easy to get video encoded for my Xoom. There might be other ways, but it's good to have a go-to quick solution:

Load the video in FreeMake

Select the 'to Android' conversion

Select 'edit preset' (the configuration gear)

Change the codec to H.264 and the size to 1280 x 800

Set the audio bitrate (I dropped it below 160kbps)

Give your preset a name and click OK

Give your file a name and click convert.

In terms of preferences;

Clean and minimal would be optimal, something that looks professional but not so flashy that your eye gets drawn away from everything else. Outside of that I don't have any other real "requirements".
