Supported Video and Audio Codecs?

[dkmrules]

Does anyone know what formats the evo 3d supports?

I'd like to bump this to the top and add a bit of info, perhaps other know more.

Took some time to find that the Evo 4G (previous gen) suppoted .mp4 files meeting IMSA format standards and containing h.264 video with AVC Level 3.1 and below, 720p max resolution, AAC stereo audio. No AC3 or DTS.

This severely limits its usefulness as a mobile video player when traveling.

Got my MHL cable and can confirm that vids coded as above for the 4G also play on the 3D. They also work out the hdmi port to several tvs that I have tried.

Need to know what codecs the 3D can support. Recoding video to the above very non-standard set of parameters is a PIA. Surely this information is published somewhere....

And before any one else suggests rockplayer or V-player, the do not add ANY additional HD capabilities the built in player does not have. The phone will only play in HD what it can process on its hardware based decoder. Software decoders just are too processor intensive and don't work. Bought them, tried them wasted the money.

QQ player lets me see Avi files, Divx, xvid, mkv, etc. Want to try that out? It's on the market for free.

ogg vorbis seems to be supported as well. I used winamp to test, have not tried the built on media player yet.

Edit: vorbis works from the default media player as well.

Gave it a try. No go. Will not play 720p or 1080i video in either avi, mp4 or mkv files without skipping or dropping audio. Will not even play the 720p mp4 files I have encoded for the E4G so its a step back.

Now that you mention it, I did notice that it had a few hiccups. Does anyone know the native resolution for the 3D? Just searched, 540x960. Why would you put videos beyond your native resolution?

I'm going to do a few tests with Mp4's to see what will look better.

I'll report back here.
