Hi all,
is there an app that can play quicktime movies?
Even better is there a way of being able to play the movies directly from the gmail app so if someone send me a movie from an iphone I can play it straight away??
Cheers
bryan
Dunno about the email part, but look for Rockplayer to play quicktime movies/clips.

Just bought my wife a fascinate and sold her iphone. She had videos on her iphone she is trying to play on her fascinate however the player doesnt support the format (.m4v) I know I can recode the videos to a avi or mpg format I just dont want to spend that kind of time.
Is there a video player out there anyone can reccommend that plays other formats outside the fascinate's select few?
M4V is acutally already encoded in MP4, the only difference is the extension. Have you tried playing these files on the fascinate? what specifically are these. videos captured by the phone? Downloads from itunes? i've never had an iphone, but i used itunes to download a video (the free music video fo the week) and put it on my fascinate and it played right away. what is the exact issue you are having? Please be specific.

Here is a link to a player that plays just about everything.
http://www.filestube.com/ef8b1189a5cca0f903e9/go.html
Soul Player (Free)
mVideoplayer (free)
using cifsmanager allowed me to use the stock player for anything. I had(ve) many of those file types left over from airvideo.
jatilq is right those will work. I just had to add that I've found doubletwist player to play everything I've thrown at it and if you are really desperate, rockplayer.
I tried everyones suggestions and they still are not playing. To be more specific one of the movies was a digital download from itunes that we recieved with the bluray version of the movie and another was a movie that was purchased through itunes. I guess I will just have to recode them.
files were in .m4v which is a mp4 file type.
Thanks again for everyones help.
Forgive me for being new at this, but aren't there liscensing issues with itunes videos or the digital copies that come with some dvds? I have doubletwist & it works great for importing playlists from itunes but when I try to play any itunes videos it tells me playback is not authorized.

Correct. M4V if downloaded from itunes store is encoded. The easiest way around is download a program that rips the video why you watch it. Ill post a link in a little.

Subsonic streams audio and video, using ffmpeg to covert video to flv and audio to mp3.
With flash support released yesterday I've been using subsonic to play both SD and HD movies on my xoom. The HD quality is obviously not as good as converting the video and playing with the native app, but it's still pretty good. If you are lazy like me and don't want to convert, it's perfect.
Visit subsonic.org to download the software that runs on your PC (or if you have a readynas there is an addon!). The software is free, but you need to donate any amount for the video streaming. Then grab the free app on the market and you're set!
*yay*

Subsonic kicks ass. It's definitely worth the donation if you get it set up properly.
for music subsinic is awesome. But for video I hate not being able to fast forward easily. Only gripe but still a fantastiv app!
you can fast forward by selecting which minute to start playback at... not perfect but works very well
Any way to play a video in a player and not a browser?
Hi
Just got my nexus 7 today and trying to drag and drop some xvid movies on to it but they won't Play! Does anyone know what format the movies have to be before I can drag and drop files from my PC on to the nexus?
Cheers

Just download MX Player or something similar and it should work.

Thanks chaps - MX player works well but couldn't get mono player to work!
VPlayer and VLC Player work great for all types of media

I downloaded a 720p tennis highlights video earlier today onto my phone so I could watch it later. However, it is lags unbearably on my phone; I use MX player to watch it. In fact, for some reason I can't use any other players to watch it.
I'm on CM10 nightly official, and the kernel is default CM.
Anyone else perhaps have information on this? Thanks.
use mediainfo first to show the profile, usually use profile High L4.1. HH can't handle high profile, you should rip again and change to Low Profile.
Code:

im using cm10 nightly only.......using mx player latest.....i can play 720p videos without ny glitch easily using s/w decoder without converting.....for 1080p playback i use h/w decoder it also plays pretty smoothly....i watch a lot of movies in my phone only LOL
It might have something to do with the fact that the video I downloaded was in 4 separate .rar files which I had to extract.

and what's the audio codec? dts or mp3 or what? i use mx player and cannot get the sound because it's dts. using CM7 and symbiosis kernel
Think about bit rate.
It may be to high. But I think it isn't so maybe container has Codec which isn't he supported.

yeah, I also think it maybe container has codec which isn't supported, the MKV, I would suggest you to convert the MKV videos to 720p MP4 videos.
Just get a video converter like formatfactory or Aneesoft online.

Mkv and mp4 are containers lol.
By conversing, chose mpeg2 or MPEG4. Also h264 is supported but it have very strong compression so it may be unplayable.
