yeah,I'am already using mxplayer since the day I bought my phone.true,the player can play all levels,profiles,formats.using s/w 16bit decoder for upto 720p,videos may plays smoothly.but it's like turning off the bravia engine.the color decoding is worse.it looks like the colors are washed out.setting s/w 32bit decoder improves color,but going above sd videos greatly slows down the video playback,while the audio plays at normal speed.changing to h/w decoder is same as s/w 32 bit.then there is the h/w+ decoder from v1.7.7 onwards.it plays upto 720p with enough colors.but any more than level 3.2 the decoder automatically falls back to s/w 16bit,still slower video playback.I also tried 720p with 6 reframes.the default player plays videos upto level 3.2 with awesome colors.so you see there is no reason for me to use mxplayer than my default player.I use mx player for other than mp4 format playback.

may be.but I have to use maximum reframes it can afford cause my phone's only got 4gb user accessible memory.and I have to use all the x264 settings that reduces the size.

true!may be because streaming videos uses lot of I frames.
