720P playback! Samsung H1/ Omnia HD can, why N900 Can't??? i can't find anything relevant... ( i searched )
 

My 3 last phones OmniaHD > Samsung H1 > Motorola DROID > Nokia N900.


All this phones have the same CPU

OmniaHD = Omap 3430
Samsung H1 = Omap 3430
Motorola Droid = Omap 3430

and obbiously, nokia N900.


All these devices can play successfull a 720P files, ( samsung H1 the best of all )

But why nokia N900 at the same speed, can't?? maybe the codecs, or maemo??

PLEASE DON'T SAY, why you whant to play a 720P if the resolution is 800x480!! i don't care..

YES I KNOW IT, but:
1- I don't wastle time converting a video.
2- sometimes, the movies come in 720P.
3- I prefer to play 720P i can "feel" more detail than standart 480p.


So.... what is the problem? drivers, for sure right? or hardware?

thanks everyone to make this excelent forum.

I think it is only software problem, because i can see mkv at 720P on my n900 in nitdroid...

I don't know about you, but my N900 can play a 720p video smoothly. Even 1080p videos, but not so smooth and only if Keanu Reeves is not acting in them...

Install VLC player and you will get 720p.

The N900 xvideo output driver won't play files with a resolution greater than 854x480. This is not a hardware limitation, but a missing feature, specifically either the N900 firmware doesn't implement the videoscale GStreamer plugin, video scaling is not implemented in the OpenMax IL layer in the DSP video codec or this functionality is implemented and is just not exposed in the xvideo driver.

You can always use mplayer to downscale your video but since it's not hardware accelerated it's going to be slow. Example :

mplayer -sws 0 -vf scale=800:-2 video.file

why the developers doesn't try to implement it???

I think the same with the 720P recording ( not 100% sure than 720P playback )

Here in this forum, the developers are doing anything? or maybe on another N900 forum??

but to play 720P files without HW acceleration, isn't good...
