Hi I’m building an application for Android tablets which basically is a sequence of pages (think of it as a book), but on each of this pages I have a looping video on the background.
The problem I’m having right now is that when you fling to change pages the transitions are very slow and not very smooth.
Since the heaviest part of my pages are the background videos I was wondering if there is a video format that is very fast to decode and possibly optimized for Android, even if it has a larger filesize.
Right know my videos have these characteristics (output from ffprobe):
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'tab0.mp4':

I imagine that’s your main problem
Use video content with a much lower bit rate like 750kb/s
