Um the The Nexus 7 with it's Tegra 3 processor is handling 1080p hi10p using MX Players HW+ mode with a few artifacts as linked previously. using 720p hi10p you can go with no artifacts using SW or HW+ with some artifacts, but it plays reasonably well. I popped into a staples that had a nexus 7 setup, downloaded mx player and the HOTD video clip (1080p hi10p) and confirmed it does play pretty damn well.

I can't comment on the Amlogic in the Novo 7 Fire.

Neko, if you can supply a 720p hi10 sample I would be happy to test on the Novo 7 Fire's AML8726.

Suppin, I will check the settings and see if I can enable HW+ as I recently updated MXPlayer and saw something about that in the patch notes.

I'll give you one to try.

the 720p file ran like a champ but the audio codec was not supported =P

I tried the 1080p sample again with HW+ enabled, frame rate was like a slideshow but at least there were no artifacts or blotches.

I am going to have to try both on my v6000 HDT!

actually that's quite good... 720p hi10p playback is ok... 1080p hi10p not good. There are forums talking about how to enable dts encoding in MX Player. it is simple to do (download a file and point to it from mx player).

right now the only thing that really plays 1080p hi10p is the Tegra3 though (though playback is not perfect...)

heh heh... not exactly android, but acer is releasing their Iconia W700 later this month. a 11inch Windows8 tablet with an i5 that should be able to decode just about anything you throw at it... all for the um... high high price of $900 usd.

Being a Software developer I am probably going to pick one up for um dev purposes yeah... not so I can have a tablet that can play anything.... um... anyone believe me? thought not... yeah it's a toy.

Too big and too expensive for what is essentially a media player. Maybe the next gen SOCs will have good support? What is the roadmap for Tegra4 and the Chinese manufacturers (AMlogic, Rockchip...)?

I think Rockchip announced that they are working on their next gen of chips and they will be quad core.
