HW/SW Decoding, Pop-Up Player, Movie Controls

[BJ1200]

Hi All, We are paid customers.

With all the great settings it can certainly confuse the "Over 50" crowd. We are down to just 5 questions. This is our first attempt for outside help. Any help would be appreciated.

Q#1: Our Galaxy S3 phones came with two stock video players. Neither would produce sound with MKV movie files that had DTS audio. These movies now work with option #2 checked, but sometimes bog down/choppy . Selecting "Drop Frames" made no difference.
What selection should we make (below) for the "Decoding Mode" setting?
1) Software Decoding Mode
2) Hardware (BSPlayer Engine)
3) System Decoding Mode (System Player)

Q#2: What can we do to fix this? Our controls for movies enter the screen slow and choppy. This started after we installed BSPlayer. The time "slider" doesn't move smooth, has to catch up, clunky. Below are our Hardware "Codec" settings.



Q#3: BRIGHTNESS: Is there a way to have brightness, contrast, color controls like the non-android BSPlayers? It would be great if just had "brightness" that worked like volume...up to 200% of OEM setting. We are aware of the left vertical slider to 100%.


Q#4: The movie controls take up over 1/2 the screen in landscape. Can these be made smaller? In either rotation, they seem out of proportion....as if designed for a tablet size (see below).



Q#5: The tiny Pop-Up player is set to appear with a "Long Press" of the Back button. But it appears all the time, even with a super short press of "Back" button. Is there a way to adjust that sensitivity/timing? The white X in the upper left of the Pop-Up player is not very responsive so we get frustrated always having to close down this tiny player .
