Hi,
I'm trying to watch alot of divx movies I have.
Some of them are played correctly, but some cannot be played, and the player shows a "file not supported" message.
All are .avi xvid movies (those that can be watched are also the same type).
ANy reason for that?
none of them are HD.
the computer shows them just fine.

I've searched around in the forums and the wiki and can't find a codec to play videos encoded to avi in Windows Media. I installed wmvcodec.dll, and the video will sort of play in TCPMP, but it's seriously choppy. And WM still says it's unsupported. Is there any plugin for Windows Media player?

I use the Core player and it plays avi format flawlessly.
There is a setting in TCPMP, I think its in options, its called Raw Frame Buffer, enable this and it should work. Hope this helps.
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;
http://www.convertavitomp4.com/
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 downloaded vplayer beta on my Evo and it works great. Tried it on the nook and it doesnt work. Anyone get anything done???
I used Zimly to get around this on my HTC. Just tried it and it does not work with wma files.
I have used mcebuddy to transcode mediacenter tv programs to generic mp4. it works with the nook stock player, but not zimly...

I have Vplayer working, but cant seem to bring up any menu while video plays.
I check email on the book and get alot of emails that have attachments so i just wanted to be able to open.
Sent from my Nook Color using XDA
I have successfully played .wmv with yxplayer. It's not free however.
yx has very mixed reviews... how is it on your nc?
Sent from my NC using XDA app
It works ok. But I only have 1 wmv file.
just tried winamp... that didn't work either, though at least it could read the tags. yx has such terrible reviews that I don't want to go there.
RockPlayer
The best media player I have found to run on my Nook Color is the RockPlayer. I have not tried .WMA or .WMV files on it but it is very good with .AVI, etc.
A brief description of a recent release, that I found on the web, reads as follows:
"RockPlayer is a powerfull media player for android phones, it offers support for a wide range of video formats which includes AVI, MKV, RMVB, MP4, FLV, 3GP, MOV, WMV, ASF, RV40, DivX, Xvid, and H.264."
I believe I downloaded my copy from The Android Market.
Rock player works for many different formats. I have played .avi files perfectly almost as good as my home dvd player. However .wmv didnt work correctly. I redownloaded Vplayer it seems they did a little tweaking and I played 2 .wmv files that were email attachments that i downloaded to the nook perfectly....
I just ordered one without appreciating this (duh). Most of my movies are in MKV and some are MP4. I have no 3D movies, but reports so far are very positive with 2D. Just ASSumed more than MP4 would work. MKV in particular.
Added: Can you use other video players too or just the VR software? Seeing some post in Ritchie's Room on Youtube they are using other players. Seems you would need the VR interface.
Edit: Removed a question about copying the card files since already answered in another thread.
Still no response? Either not many devices yet or not movies fans
I have searched the web and no answer other than 3D MKV files apparently work. Sadly not apples to apples though for playback compared to 2D MKV files, so not a "yes" for non 3D.
Guess I will find out myself on Tuesday
Will test all formats.

mkv files in 2d or 3d sbs work, but the audio has to be encoded in mp3 for stereo. ac audio and dobly plus don't seem to work, just stereo. i had to re-encode my 3d mkv files to get them to play nice. video looks great though.
the file types i've dumped on it so far:
AVI
MP4
WEBM (whatever the **** that is)
all successful and plays perfectly.
.mp4 .m4v .3gp .3g2 .ts .webm .mkv .wmv .asf .avi .flv. And for 3D video content, Oculus Cinema supports the side-by-side and top-to-bottom formats.
