HTC Droid Incredible
YouTube Video Playback Sucks?
I tried playing back embedded YouTube videos on various websites on 3 different Incredibles VS. same playback on MoTo Droids. When I clicked on the videos the YouTube player expands the videos to Full Screen. However,
the MoTo Droids played the videos back VERY smooth, and crystal clear, BUT the same videos were choppy & pixelated when played back on ALL 3 Incredibles (Similar to playback on Droid Eris). What gives? I thought the faster processor on the Incredibel would provide better playback not worse. Furthermore, the MoTo Droids version of Android gives an option for Hi Quality playback when I click on the menu button during playback, but I can't find this option on the Incredible. What's Up With That?

Hgh quality is there too. When the video is playing,hit menu,then more,and you will see an option to play in high quality
...
Thanks, I think I tried hitting what I thought was the MENU button, but did not find the MORE option. I asked the Verizon Rep, but he seemed bewildered by my question. Anyway the video played more smoothly even before I selected High Quality playback on the MoTo Droid. The Incredible's screen colors for the videos were more vibrant, but playback was choppy & pixelated compared to the DROID. I was really disappointed I like the Incredible in every other way.

I had the moto droid first and I prefer the picture quality of the incredible. I didnt have any playback problems with either phone,unless i wasn't using wifi,otherwise both phones played videos smoothly.

My side by side tests of Video playback quality was perforemed in two Verizon stores on the 3G network, and had the same results. Video playback on the MoTo Droid was sharper & smoother than on the Incredible, but yes, the color was more impressive on the Incredible. I only test the phone on their 3G capabilities Not on WiFi.

The Incredible is set to low quality as a default to save on bandwidth. You can set it to high quality like Dean said.
...
Thanks, this may be the root of my problem. Perhaps I am not purshing the correct button that brings up the menu with this option. Can you tell me specifically where to find the option to switch to Hi Quality?
