Motorola recently released two new Xoom-branded products in U.K and Ireland. These two products are called Xoom 2 and Xoom 2 Media Edition which both run on Android OS. It is said that both of them are not hoped to ship the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. No mater comparing the price or any other parameters, Motorola Xoom 2 is hoped to be one of the best competitors of iPad 2.
The two Xoom products are nearly the same except for the screen size. The Xoom 2 comes with a 10.1 inch screen while the Xoom 2 Media Edition is in 8.2 inch size. With a larger screen and a HD image resolution, Motorola Xoom 2 seems to be a good choice to play videos or enjoy movies. And the problem comes that sometimes you are stopped from playing 1080p MKV, VOB, AVI, WMV, MP4, M2TS, MTS, MOV, TiVo, and FLV videos on Xoom 2 or it becomes choppy during the playing process.
That sounds bad since we prefer enjoying HD videos with its high video quality. Now, are there any ideas to play 1080p videos on Xoom 2? Don’t worry. We need to know why we are not able to enjoy 1080p Full HD videos on Xoom 2. With the H.264 video codec, the 1080p MKV, VOB, AVI, WMV, MP4, M2TS, MTS, MOV, TiVo, and FLV videos are defined to be the Full HD videos that need special media players for smoothly playing. The Xoom 2 does not have those advanced media play, so we have to convert 1080p videos to Xoom 2 on Mac.
