Hi guys, i am new to this site but cant find anything on here regarding my device and problem, so want to see if any one else has any ideas...
I Have installed DivX onto my device to playback avi files, but even after converting them to 320x240 and 250kbs with DVD Catalyst...
I have installed TCPMP but that fails to run, logging things to "crash.txt" but i cannot find the log file to find out what is causing it...
So i am unable to play any avi file on my device...
Can any one shed any light on my problems?
Thanks

Get yourself coreplayer, you can try their trial before you think about purchasing it. it is an awsome media player, i dont even bother to convert my divx/xvid files to compress em down....they play with very few niggles!
I have read that the captivate is divx certified? Is this true do I need an app to make this happen or is this going to be added with froyo? I hate converting files after downloading..... Just too time consuming

The question to ask is, whats the container, whats the file size?
Generally a full length movie seven hundred mb or so, not sure what you mean by container but I am downloading from a windows vista or seven box to my phone

I've played multiple xvid files (each 300mb+) and they've run perfectly fine, so I'm assuming that divx would run fine also.
just download a media player app from the market. i think rock media player or whatever it's called can play a lot of different encoded files that the stock media player can't even recognize

no, the phone is divx certified AS IS. rockplayer isn't required. the default video player app will play xvid and divx by default. and I believe it's even capable of mkv 1080p files
i can verify that a 2.1 gb mkv file encoded in 720p runs perfectly
I've also had a problem playing xvid and divx files (each ~700mb).
they are all labeled avi's. I've tried 3.
I am having problems too trying to play Divx files. I am having issues with the Divx files that I made that are from my movie collection. Here are the characteristics of the files I have been trying to use but they just wont work:
AVI container
Divx Codec (used AutoGK)
AC3 audio (I tried MP3 also didn't work)
File size is between 1-2GB in size.
Can anyone tell why I can't play any of my Divx files? I am transfering these files to my memory card through Windows and then putting the memory card in the device. I would think since this is Divx compatible this should be a no brainer since the files work on a PS3 and Xbox 360 without a problem.
So far only Rock Player will play my files.
Divx doesn't work for the Captivate

Actually I have to disagree. Either I am doing something completely wrong, but there is no way this will play Divx files consistently. I have been tooling around with it for 3 days now and I get nothing but inconsistency. So here is the scoop.
All my divx files are AVI.
All files converted with AutoGK and Divx Codec
Some have AC3 sound others are MP3
Typical file size is between 1.2-2GB
The ONLY files I can get to play on this thing consistently are Xvid encoded files. I have tried Divx files with 2 audio channels, 5.1 sound and none of them work. Heck I even downloaded one of the Divx files from www.divx.com Big Buck Bunny (mobile version) and that didn't work. This did play an HD MP4 that I had but wouldn't play the sound I am guessing because it was AC3.
In the end I don't see how this phone is Divx certified if I can't get a Divx movie to play unless I use Rockplayer, which I don't want to use because that is all CPU and not GPU being used for playback.
For people who do get it working, are you putting the movies on the phone a special way or something?
I play divx and xvid files on mine fine with the stock media player. No converting....just copy and paste.
Actually DivX Plus HD certified
Actually, if you read the press release, the Galaxy S is DivX Plus HD certified. Hence it will play MKV/H.264 just fine. Why they support DivX Plus but not standard DivX, I have no idea. According to specs for Captivate on samsung.com, supported formats are MPEG4, AAC, AAC+, H.263, H.264. Xvid (AVI) seems to also work for most people.
Options for standard def DivX seem to be convert to mp4 or other supported type or use a non-stock video player that supports DivX.

What size are your divx files that you are playing? I am curious to see what the disconnect is with the content that I have.
Has anyone been able to get videos working? ive tried a bunch of different videos and a bunch of different players. Ive heard Act 1 is the best but i cant get it to play an avi file. any ideas? thanks in advance
RockPlayer is awesome. It plays movies I've encoded using Handbrake's iPod Touch preset almost perfectly.
I downloaded RockPlayer through the SlideME marketplace app, which is itself available to download at slideme.org.
I got RockPlayer working for local files, but what about streaming mp4 from the browser? I can't seem to get that to work. Any ideas?
I've had luck with VLC stream & Convert to play movies off my network.
Rock Player audio is out of sync for me regardless of video format. But I've had luck with the program here;

It's dead simple and worked pretty quick. After converting the file, it played nicely in the stock movie player on the Nook. I've only converted and tested 1 show so far so your mileage may vary.
I used RockPlayer to view some of my video files, but keeping a lot on my SD card isn't feasible. I have had some success using AndroStream to stream my .avi files over wifi. See the following thread for directions:

I transferred a mov file at first but that would not play so I compressed it to a wmv and it still won't play. I have 2 other wmv files that play just fine. It does not have a thumbnail so I moved the one I had along with the file but still no luck. I have tried saving it to the external sd card and to the android itself. No luck. I know the file is not corrupt because it will play on the computer...even from the phone when connected. Any thoughts?
I am running Cog 5 Beta 2.
You can't compare what will play on a PC running Windows with full codec support to what will play on a phone running a Google OS with limited codec support. Also, there are several different flavors of WMV and not all will play on Android. Your best bet is to convert it to a format that Android likes, like MP4 or just MPG. I have no issues with my videos in this format.
I have 2 media server, Dlink DNS-323 and TP-Link WR1043-ND and both of them could stream to my Windows 7 PC. But when i use allshare, all i see are files and folders but when i try to play any files it just say "this video cannot be played back". This are all normal avi files.

An AVI file can contain video encoded in a number of different codecs. If they're DivX / Xvid files they should definitely play. Check the codec using a tool like GSpot.
There're all xvid, they play fine in stock player but no allshare.
