Video playback in WP 8.1 is pathetic.

How is that so? You don't see more than 480p on a 480p screen.

More than 1 pixels combine to get viewed on 480p screen. Just imagine how Lumia 1020 or Nokia 808 captures 41mp shots even if their processors are not capable of that. Only snapdragon 805 is capable of processing that many megapixels.

Pureview 808 has a dedicated processor for imagine. Lumia 1020's processor obviously can take 41MP but it's just slow.
 
You can not view things in 1080 on a 480 screen its impossible. Your hardware is not capable of playing a resolution it does not support.
 
not sure what's wrong with your phone. Tried with my brother's 720 and it working just fine. it even played 2GB MP4 movie without any hasstle using Moliplayer.
