S12 1080p Playback Is Horrible

I bought a S12 because of the Ion platform. I just received it today, and I loaded up a blu rip. It won't play smoothly at all and the audio is out of sync. I thought this netbook is suppose to play 1080p no problem? Whats the deal?
I downloaded KMPlayer and used the DXVA video codec. No good. Anyone got any hints? I'm thinking of returning this netbook.

Just out of curiousity, how does this look in 1080p?

ITunes 10.6/Quicktime 7 1080p playback issue/frame skipping

I have a playback issue with the 1080p videos on the recent version of iTunes - 10.6. I also tried playing the same videos on Quicktime where I was able to find that the videos were playing at around 20fps as opposed to their normal rate - 24fps~25fps.
I seem to barely meet the 1080p playback requirements on iTunes, but I know that I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Window Media Player(WMP) 12 without any issues. Aside from WMP, I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Youtube whenever hardware acceleration is enabled. I assume that WMP utilizes hardware acceleration as well.
The playback issue/frame skipping is probably caused by iTunes 10.6 not using hardware acceleration.

T410 i3, integrated graphics, 1080p playback

Hey guys,
Sorry if this seems to be a topic that pops up over and over on the internet. I've been digging around a lot and have failed to find any definite answers to this question. It seems like some review sites are saying that the T410 has no problem with 1080p playback but doesn't specify the exact specifications for the machines tested for video playback. There is also a guy on youtube who posted a video review of 720p and 1080p playback from a T410 i3 integrated and says that video playback was fine for 720 but choppy for 1080; however, when peopel recommended coreAVC, no response was given.
Can anyone here give me their experience with 1080p playback with integrated graphics on a T410?
And also another quick question, I'm aware that the displayport to hdmi will carry audio as well, but for the video, does it carry the raw HD content, or is it scaled down.
Thanks very much indeed!

1. The T410 with i3 CPU runs the 1080p playback fine, whether or not it is choppy depends on the quality of the encoding and what player is used. The integrated GPU is designed for hardware decoding of the 1080p videos in Blu-ray.
2. The displayport will carry the specific video size that you specify in the windows. It can support WQXGA resolution. But if you specify the output to 1920 x 1080 then it would do so at that resolution.

C2D 2.16 HD 1080P Playback

Waiting for my C2D 2.16 still(finally upgrading). I have a question regarding the power of the new MBP's even the 2.16 if they can play HD 1080P quicktime files like the ones at the apple movie trailers. I owned a PB 1.6 17" before and it could not handle anything other than 480p. I also tried CD MPB and 1080p playback was choppy. Thanks.

Playback may be smooth on the MBP display, but I should hope so, since no MBP can display it back natively (1080p = 1920x1080 resolution, 17" MBP = 1680x1050, 15" MBP = 1440x900).
Whether or not the MBP C2D can display the full 1920x1080p via DVI to a fully capable 1080p set is another story.
-edit-
One thing I can relay from the dark side (PC/Win) is that the video card (GPU and RAM) played a larger part in the ability to play HD video than a slight speed bump in the processor (and I do view the CD to C2D as a speed bump and not a revolutionary step).
I know the ATI x1600 is viewed as a pretty decent video card, but nowhere near top of the line. Maybe the 256MB flavor will play back HD video more smoothly than the 128MB, but that's just a guess.

Please enable 1080p playback in Belle models

I'm a Nokia 701 owner over 6 months now. It is a great device in almost every aspect. But it puzzled me why it can't play 1080p videos when it's hardware is more than capable ( Broadcom's BCM2763 with Videocore 4 engine). Was hoping the phone would get this functionality with FP1 update, but no.
Now, I paid quite an amount of money for this phone and I didn't go Galaxy S II way at the time (which is fully capable to play 1080p). Nokia 808 PV has the same hardware and no software restrictions for 1080p playback. It is clear that only someone's decision and software restriction is preventing 1080p playback on Nokias 603, 700 and 701.
I respectfully request that the next software update allows the same 1080p playback on these devices as it is done on 808 PV.
PS.
Before someone says that 1080p or even 720p resolutions are an overkill on phone's display (in terms of picture size, they are), I'll state that I have a 32GB mSDHC card and a lot of 720p and 1080p videos 100MB-1.5GB that I want to watch on my phone (I often travel) without having to reencode them.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Generally speaking volume isn't controlled in that way, for example it isn't usual to be able to control the volume of a movie from a DVD player.
That being said  have implemented volume control for audio content through the tv, although it should be noted that the remote keys used to adjust audio are used for other purposes when the tv is playing video. I therefore think it unlikely that they have the ability to add volume control for video in the way you suggest.

1080p footage looks horrible in 720p timeline

Hello! I have 1080p footage that i want to bring into a 720p timeline. When i bring it in, scale it to 75% and render, the result is horrible! What is a recommended workflow to use 1080p footage in a 720p timeline?
Thanks!
Kyle

"Horrible" is relative, a bit meaningless.
Since we don't know how much you understand about what you're doing, or what you expect as far as quality, or where you are viewing your results, try not to take this personally.
You are throwing away a full 35% of your pixels so, yes, it's going to look a bit soft. Additionally, you are squooshing all of those lost pixels into new mooshy pixels.
The only way to maintain a pixel-to-pixel relationship is not to scale you footage but to crop it. Anything else compromises the image quality because of the processing. You must be viewing your rendered output on a full resolution monitor suitable to the task before deciding your scaling or processing operations are really "horrible" or they just appear that way as an artifact of the presentation.

1080p playback

I have a downloaded several HD 1080p movies through iTunes and I am getting an error that the file is too big to play on my computer and to use the lower resolution. I do have an HDCP compliant setup between my video card and screen ( i cheicked my Nvidia settings) running with an i7 processor and 8GB ram. Any suggestions as to what I can do to run the 1080p files on my Windows 7 64bit machine. Current resolution i am running on my display, 1920x1080 native.

...I have to say I am not satisfied with the playback smoothness, even with SD content. My old mac mini 1.83ghz seemed to play movies better...
Wow. I had a 1.83 core 2 duo Mini that was replaced by the 2010 2.4ghz model and the new one is better in every aspect of video playback.
I see a slight stuttering that happens often though not regularly, especially visible during pan shots. It gives the feeling like the camera moves faster, then slower and sometimes hiccups.
I usually find that this is caused by the content. Especially when the person (or the software) who encoded the content into a compressed file format has not used the appropriate de-interlacing settings.
The stuttering varies from player to player though almost all of them are affected. The ones that work best are Plex and XBMC. VLC is a total mess on that issue .
Interesting. You might want to try deleting the prefs for VLC. It comes with an applescript that deletes them for you. I am frequently able to resolve issues with VLC by doing this.
I am still trying to pinpoint the problem: HD performance, RAM, conflicting codecs (perian?), TV refresh rate, underscan, need to reinstall the OS...
Yes, the refresh rate can be a factor. But OSX frequently does not allow you to change refresh rate when using "HDTV" resolutions (because technically it should always be 60 hertz).
If you are using the underscan feature, it definitely could exacerbate a problem such as this. Because OSX is having to scale the video output on the fly and that can only have deleterious effects.
Does your new Mini have less RAM than your previous one?
Did you migrate your user account from your old Mac? If you did, you might want to try creating a new user account and login to that and see if video playback is any different. I don't think there is a strong chance that this will make a difference, but it's always a good method of troubleshooting.

ITunes 11 Win7 64bit - 1080p Playback Lag

Specs are well within needs to playback 1080p content. Content works just fine in VLC and other media players. This appears to be an iTunes-specific issue. Other discussions have suggested Wifi Sync to cause the problem. I have no such devices. I have also set my sound card bitrate to the default settings as well. My video card drivers are up to date, and iTunes is up to date as well. Again, the content plays fine in any other application. Please let me know if (1), you are experiencing a similar issue, (2) what else you may have tried, (3) if you have a solution. Thanks everyone!

Inability to get 1080p playback

I have one of the new Intel minis (2.0 GHz Core2 Duo with 2GB RAM) and am currently using a Samsung 37A550 TV as my monitor. The Samsung has 1080p capability, but my mini does not show 1080p as an available setting, only 1080i. When I select the TV input to which the mini is connected, the TV reports that what is being used is 1080i. Is there any way that I can get my mini to use 1080p? Any leads will be gratefully followed.

Some googling revealed this suggestion:
http://blog.adamnash.com/2008/01/24/yes-you-can-get-1080p-out-of-a-mac-mini/
"How to Get 1080P, not 1080i, out of the Mac Mini. This is the tough one. When you go to the Displays control panel on the Mac Mini (Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5), you are given lots of video choices. However, the maximum resolution says 1920×1080 (interlaced) at 60Hz. What gives? I’m not sure, but it seems like a bug. The secret is to enable the checkbox that says “Show displays in menu bar”. If you do then, a displays icon appears in the menu bar. Click it to get a drop down menu of all display resolutions. Interestingly, there are now two 1920×1080 options, which are labeled identically. Choose the other one! You’ll now be driving full 1080P..."

Inadequate video playback from camera video

I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC FX07 camera. I took some awesome soccer video and was puzzled that I needed Quicktime to view it on my computer. I was sad to see that the video playback was horrible - all audio and jerky video. The video plays fine on my camera. So my first question is: (1) what's wrong with video playback? My second question is (2) do I seriously have to pay $30 to upgrade to Quicktime Pro just to save MY own video to my computer? I am obviously reluctant to do this if the free version of the software does not even work correctly. My computer is basic but I've upgraded the memory and other videos (streaming, my canon camera etc) work fine so please leave off the poor computer specs reasoning. Some honest feedback would be welcome as I am hopefully just not doing something exactly right. Thanks in advance!

I found a sample video from this camera on the web and it's working for me in the newest QT 7.6. I tried also mplayer and VLC player - both are able to play the video, so try them. You can also use them to convert video to another format (mplayer is just player, but it's shipped with mencoder that can do it).
If none of the players is working for you, try to post somewhere small sample video from your cam - I'll take a look on it.

HD QT Pixlet won't playback well on Intel based systems?

Hi all,
I've been using Pixlet for a few years with no troubles
on G5 computers at HD resolutions (1920x1080). I recently tried playback on our new Mac Pro and the playback is horrible.
Is there something which prevents Intel based Macs from using Pixlet at HD?

QT Kirk, you are mistaken. Pixlet is a great HD codec and was made for HD purposes. Been using it for years on many movies.
Bottom line, seems to be that there is some hardware in the PowerPC computers that is not in the Intel versions OR the code for Pixlet is not optimized for Intel chips yet and this prevents Intel based computers from playingback Pixlet at the proper frame rates if is is over 720x486 resolution.
Looks like we're going to hold on to our dual G5's for a while so we can playback 1920x1080 Pixlet with no trouble.

Apple TV and 1080p

I have a Apple TV (40 gig) on the way to my house. I know that the ATV can output at 1080p, but for what purpose? As far as I can tell the ATV can't do playback on any 1080p material, am I correct on this assumption? If so, does this tell us that down the road the existing Apple TV lacks the processing power to do 1080p playback when (in that land of Oz in the somewhat distant future) there are 1080p movie downloads available?

yes it just upscale the 720p to 1080
which is pretty much what a tv which run 1080 does too
if it run fullscreen that is
if the tv is bad at upscaling then maybe the atv can do a better job
but i doubt there is much difference
it's imho a popword for supported feature lists
it's kinda like the digital zoom of mediaCenters :P
not sure why it dont do 1080P video if it's the spcs which cant handle it
or if they felt it would be a strain on the network and
more so on the internet connection to have 1080P

Playback anyone? PLEASE?

I updated today so I could download one of the free million downloads of the ABC's season finales. Bad choice. My video playback is horrible, but my audio sounds perfect.
I deleted all kinds of programs taking up a ton of space, like Sims, and other computer games, and it came out that I'd deleted about 2000 MB all together, as far as it told me.... Did doing this help at all, or was it a waste?
Is there any other way to fix my playback? I've tried the given troublshooting links on the main support page.

FIrst goto the PC makers site and update your video card/driver (May as well install ALL updates that apply to your system while there)
Also update your directx from microsoft here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2da43d38-db71-4c1b-bc6a -9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

Jerky HD footage playback

New work system with a new 5,1 MacPro running 10.6.4 FCP 6.0.6
Started getting very jerky 1080p playback of clips in the Viewer not happening all the time though. This doesn't affect the clips when they are in the timeline though.

Exactly Mr Frog
I have also had problems wit the Viewer today...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2612742
I can appreciate your views on the sequence preset but when working on a new MacPro and producing 20 & 30sec commercials rendering isn't an issue and as I've mentioned there are other steps in the production line that would be impacted if the export from the timeline was to be a 1920x1080 QT file because I would then have to convert that to my desired format(s) in the rest of the workflow!
There is definitely something going on with the viewer display and how it is displaying clips and even the background viewer (see above thread)
Please note there isn't and has never been a problem with the sequence and playback of the sequence.
