Can The M8 Play 1280 x 720 Videos?

Like stated in the title can the M8 play 1280 x 720 videos or converting the video to a lower resolution is a must?

Thanks heaps

i have played samsung omnia HD video recording on my meizu m8 and it can be played but the video lag too much.

Not necessary, the video resolution is far beyond the M8's screen resolution.
As Gh-x says, it lags. So converting to MP4 or AVI will take more effect.(and it should take less space on the flash memory)
Somebody on this forum gave me one of the greatest converters, so if you don't know it yet: FormatFactory. (use google, download and install)
