Is there really no player avialable for N1 that can supports divx/xvid up to 1500kbit/s yet?
Im also waiting for this one. Have a 16gb sd card with a lit of space to put some divx movies in it. Always nice to watch movies in the train.

Google rock(divx)player. It is fairly new and handled my 900kbit/s avi fine, but my 720p 3000kbit/s movie ran at only 15fps (as expected).
Yeah, thats a start. But it seems that the rock-player is still a little slow, I was hoping there are allready solution that playes everything (sd) pain-free like tcmp or coreplayer on windows mobile. I know the coreteam is working on a port but there is no timetable yet.
Isn't it possible to just port the divx-player (or the entire rom) from the htc desire?

So yesterday I was playing around and tried to get some porn clips to play on the phone. I downloaded a video (using a greasemonkey script) and then I transfer the .flv to one of the cards.
It says something like: "filetype not admited" ("tipo de archivo no admitido")
Does it have to do with the flash version? I have stock jf3 root and lagfix app.
Youtube is ok, spankwire or xvideos, are not. You can see it's a REALLY SERIOUS problem
However, sgs media player is supposed to get along with .flv right?
Is there a way for this videos (or others .flv) to play on the phone apart from converting?
i had something similar happen to me
but of course mine was an almost 4GB file with surround sound all channels and HD but it was on 720 mkv, but it gave me the same message
now i loaded another similar mkv file but it was only stereo and that worked fine
seems like the phone can't support HD audio
I see. So it probably has to do with the audio then.
I can resemble this situation
Like all original, un-modded Droid owners, I was looking forward to Froyo and Flash player 10.1. Well, it finally got here. Sites now work, (e.g. Kongregate) and others. Works with Youtube and such. Does not work with .flv files, haven't tried .swf files yet, nothing seems to play from the device, AFAIK.
I would speculate that what we see when things do "play" on the device is the streaming variety of the media.

One of these days I will get around to rooting my Droid and my Eris. Someday....
I have similar problem. I´ve downloaded Megavideo application and when I try to play the video from app with stock player (and I beleived that Galaxy S stock player must handle .flv without problems) so it starts to play, but only with black screen and no sound. In Rockplayer or others it works just fine. Any suggestions how to help it? Thanks a lot
I think the best option is to just use RockPlayer for this.
I've tried using video converters but it's not worth it because audio/video quality can suffer or even get messed up badly. RockPlayer is just more convenient and simple.
I've installed RockPlayer on the NC and it seems to run standard def video (avi) that I've got in the 20-25 fps range while hd (720p) video is pretty much a slide show. What are the NC's capabilities video wise?
I ran quadrant and can see that the 3D performance isn't good compared to my Samsung Captivate but does that apply to video as well? I've played the same videos on my Captivate using RockPlayer and the stock video player and the stock player works much better than RockPlayer on the phone with much smoother playback. I've tried to copy the video player to the NC but get install errors every time so I'm guessing that it's incompatible.
Are there better video players that people recommend?
I am using mixzing to watch my movies. Works great!
Anyone else getting out of sync audio on... Everything? I've tried lots of sw player and not a one was in sync (avi, mp4, sd, hd). From what I've read, 2.2 should fix this, but bummer if it doesn't. I've got an ipad, and want to want the nook instead since the ipad isn't the laptop replace I thout it would be.
EDIT: Looks like MP4's are in Sync, so I assume it's the FFMPEG software decode that these players are using, as the MP4 should be done in hardware. Hopefully this thing'll get 2.2 before Jan. 3rd when my B&N return is up!

I'm having the same problem and hoping someone figures out why. I can't imagine it's a hardware problem...
What exactly is the point on watching a HD file in a non HD device? With the Nook's screen you can get away with a 480P video and it'll look fantastic. Lower resolutions will look pretty decent too. Pixels are all nice and good but there's a time and a place for everything... well, in this case only a place and that's your living room big screen TV
Using the stock player on the Nook I am having no issues with audio and video staying in sync.
Mixzing is great, but won't play avi files. I don't want to have to convert all my files just to play on one device...
act 1 video player works fine for me no sync issues

Per your post I checked this out and you are right...it does work great with more options while playing. I think the only way to "back" out of a movie is to use the "n" button though. ?
I have tried VPlayer as well as a couple others which I can't remember the names right now.
But nothing seems to work to watch movies on.
Can anyone suggest a good player that will work on the Streak 7?
i had the same problem, i now use coreplayer on windows mobile or rockplayer for andriod. both of these can play most files downloaded of the net and drag and dropped onto your sd card
I use Media Player Pro
Video Player
I have been using Vital Player. It is free on the Market.
+1 for rockplayer. My son watches his movies with it great player.

Rockplayer, software acceleration. all you need.
Hi guys, I have searched about the video playback capability of nook color.
I found information that has been posted since december but i am not sure if there are any changes since then. Can nook color play avi and m4v now? without the conversion?
And is adobe flash available for it right now as its already on 2.2?
I seems like I can't get information about it and all i got was about the flashing of nook color. and videos of nook color.
please enlighten me. i am currently so tempted to buy nook color.
Currently video playback is very limited, and hardly any formats are supported. As for flash, it is supported somewhat on the Froyo 2.2 builds for the Nook Color, however, it is still recommended that you run those from the sdcard as the EMMC builds are still highly unstable. With the current progression on Stock, Froyo, and even Honeycomb, we can only guess that flash and video support is right around the corner, especially once A3.0 becomes AOSP.
I use radtools or mcebuddy for batch conversion to vanilla mp4. Works great
NC via XDA
rockplayer in the market will play avi's and what not
thanks for the replies guys!
was thinking of buying it already but it seems like there are no stock on bestbuy.com .
stock seems to be available at B&N but bestbuy gives a free cover.
but bestbuy gotta wait for around 2 weeks! !
I use handbrake (free) to transcode movies to mp4 which plays beautifully on the nook
Alsos use mVideoPlayer which also supports import of subtitle files

i tried to get a nook color through a online store.
But: its out of stock everywhere: b&n, bestbuy, wallmart, booksamillion. even if they say that its in stock, it wont be until the 15.2.
you can try at ebay.com or amazon.com...,
Yeah, be careful with the online inventory counts from Bestbuy and Walmart. Sometimes they say they have units on hand and they don't. I've even heard about people calling into Barnes & Noble and the "kids" that work there said they had several and it turns out they were sold out for days.
guys, try this : VitalPlayer. It's free and it's the best one I've ever had in the market.
It can play avi, mkv,wmv,mp4 as such, the best thing is: its software decoding is SOOOOOOO good. If you just play some videos not in HD resolution, this tool can give you almost no lag, no sound delay experience.
Try it and you'll like it just like me.
I have tried Rockplayer, VPlayer, XYZ, and VirtualPlayer. With all of them my AVI files have the audio out of sync. I tried to convert the AVI's to MP4 with DVDFab and the audio was still out of sync. What program will definitely convert from AVI to MP4 while keeping the audio and video in sync?
Handbrake, without a doubt the easiest and best quality IMO.
I too have tried other video players and have seen audio sync issues with them. Using the built in gallery app on my stock rooted nook though video playback is perfect. I have bluray rips of a few select faves for my son on my nook, specifically coded at 854 pixels wide with constant quality set to 20 and they look fantastic on the nook's standard video player but skip and drop frames on vplayer or rock player regardless of what kernel I run (stock 800mhz or overclocked). I haven't tried playback using vplayer or rock in Nookie Froyo yet, maybe I'll try that tonight.
Same here - I have had no luck with any of the other media players.

Did you try your AVI in your PC? A lot of times, the video file itself may be out-of-sync. In that case, no matter how you convert it, it won't work.
The AVI files play fine on my Archos 70 using RockPlayer.

Played around a little more last night and confirmed that for me playback of my mp4 h.264 videos encoded to meet nook specs play flawlessly in the standard player in eclair and the nookie froyo 0.68 image. Playback in vplayer or rockplayer suffers audio sync issues due to dropped frames though I noted that playback of video in vplayer in froyo was much better than in eclair.
I'm really wondering how it is people are getting flawless playback in vplayer. I expected to see it in froyo seeing as I was using a clean SD card boot image (latest distro) .
Its not a huge deal for me since the stock video player plays well but it does mean having to re-encode my fave TV shows from xvid avi to h.264 mp4 before loading them onto the nook.

The Nook Gallery seems to be the only thing that will playback videos without a video/audio sync problem. I use VideoReo to re-encode my videos into a h.264 format for Android phones. They look great on the Nook. VideoRedo is pretty expensive (I use it for converting .tivo videos) but it is a Cadillac. Handbrake is supposed to be a good free alternative.
Is there any way to get the stock Google Gallery app from Eclair onto a V1.1 rooted Nook?
I'm running brianf21's 0.6.7 Nookie 2.2 image off of the SD card. Flash wasn't working in browser so I uninstalled Flash 10.1 in the market, rebooted, and re-installed.
Embedded youtube videos now working in the browser.
From his thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=922324) the only thing I could see was reported success with 0.5.9 so hope this is helpful.
Handbreak.
what I've tried...
-rockplayer 1.6.3
-qqplayer
-vplayer (unlocked)
-vital player
What I watch..
-mostly divx avis haven't bothered trying nor do i care about mkvs at this point
ideally, where I would play video from nfs/cifs mounted storage
-cifs is working via cifs manager
what I've noticed
-rockplayer doesn't want to play anything
-qqplayer plays things but its choppy
-vplayer doesnt want to play anything either
- vital player cant play anything outside of /sdcard and doesnt play anything.
by doesnt work i mean i see the file in the player, i select it, either nothing happens or it appears to load and just closes the app. (yes software decode mode)
as a side note I've also noticed adb push file.avi /sdcard is much slower than my old 32gb class2 microsd card in my evo, and slower than the internal 16gb storage in my nexus s. (1266 KB/s (732659712 bytes in 565.100s))
anyone else having as much trouble as I?
My avi's play fine with rockplayer universal
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
You know whats strange? This device can handle the mkv format just fine.. whereas my gtab cannot.. yet plays avi's without any issues what so ever.
My m4vs, at first, will blank with weird rainbow lines for first few seconds but play terrific on RockPlayer afterward. Every time I select a m4v file.
Didn't try other formats such as avi, mkv, wmv, ogg, etc.
Tried VPlayer Unlocker, QQPlayer, all no good.
I'm looking forward to either VLC or CorePlayer which I think will hit first, on twitter, it's said to be expected to go out by middle of this month. Let's hope.
i dont know why, but every time i try to load an MKV file onto my xoom, windows explorer crashes. anyone else have this problem?

But do you get audio?
Here's what I've found:
I suppose it depends on the audio that's muxed in. AAC should work in place of AC3 - downmixed to stereo. Though I actually haven't tried multichannel aac, I doubt it would work out correctly. Question is, do dts and ac3 pass thru work (thru HDMI)

I stated this in another post for video, so here goes again.
PLEX
I am working with the Android devs for Plex right now as a beta tester. At this very moment he is working on the video subsystem. Once the kinks are ironed out the next update will be pushed to the market.
I dont know about you, but I dont like having to encode my movies into another format just so I can watch them on my phone/tablet. Also having a collection closing in on 1000 movies makes that even more of a pain. I like the idea of having a server at home push my movies, NO MATTER the format to my phone/tablet.
Plex on my Nexus S looks near perfect, and there is early work being done to improve the video quality.
If I had to take a guess I would say the public is about two weeks or less away from an update that enables playback on the Xoom. Even better the interface will be tweaked to take advantage of the screen size and Tegra chip after that.
I will post in the forum the moment the official release goes live for our new toy.
