[Q] program/app i need to watch avi movies????

anyone know if its possible and if so what program/app i need to watch avi movies that i stored n my sd card? when i had the vouge i used tcmp, a great program that played anything i ran on it.
Is there any programs similar to this?
thank you.

search "avi" on the market. I just did, about 5-8 apps popped about but they're all low rated. You can try to convert the avi movies to another format.

tcmp or dviplayer can be used... a search can help you to find one

Try this out...
I used this software converting a few movies and it worked great. Just download Video Player in the market and it will find the videos on your SD card. It may even play avi, but I just convert everything to H264

[Q] Some .flv videos won't play

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.

Anyone get .wmv or .wma files to work

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.

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....

[Q] MKV File w Subtitles - Anything that will play better than a slideshow?

Have tried RockPlayer Lite (won't play at all), RockPlayer Universal (Laggy and no subtitles), vxPlayer (Laggy and no subtitles), and mVideoPlayer (Laggy, but w Subtitles).
Anything that actually WORKS on the G-Tab?
Kind of assumed that with the Tegra 2 chip that playing these would be a breeze, but this seems to be one area where there's nothing out there yet.
TIA!

Try VitalPlayer it plays all format and subtitles, i have tried with mkv and srt subtitles and it worked.

Plays the mkv, but doesn't seem to have any option to pick an embedded subtitle from the MKV. Hidden option or not supported?

Just as an FYI, I installed the MKV Sub Extractor that the RockPlayer folks offer seperately in the market, and using that to create an SRT, I was then able to play the file with subtitles. It's still a little slow, but it seems to be smooth enough to watch (I gather it's dropping frames to stay in sync, but not enough to be too noticable).
Anyone who has tried ArcPlayer which I gather is also based on ffmpeg - does it work any better?

I have tried ArcPlayer, and was not impressed. I was of the opinion that Rock Player did a better job, and it could access /sdcard2

use the app above to get subtitle out. software decoding supports 800*480 by rockplayer(best of all )hard ware decoding supports up to 720p you can convert it very quickly view there please http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=924533 that's for h264 stream.xvid supports up to 1080p using hardware decoding

[Q] Tegra 2 Optimized MKV Player for Xoom?

OK, I've read every thread I can find on XDA on the subject, and it appears that the LG phones have a GPU-optimized video player, but otherwise there is nothing out there that really takes advantage of the Tegra 2 for playback of MKV files. Is that correct?
Most of my files are 720 or 1080 MKV with embedded subtitles. So far the best response I have gotten has been from QQplayer. I tried Moboplayer with the ARM7 codec it sends you to, but could never convince it to show the subtitles.
So what are YOU using to play such files (if anything)? Please also share your settings in case the problem is user error at my end
TIA!

I use PLEX to stream my 720p and 1080p mkv files.
If I need to stored the files on the xoom, i normally convert them to mp4 format using HandBrake.

i havent found a good mkv player for the xoom yet.. i am a VLC kinda guy on my PC and i havent found anything that compares to it...
I use xilisoft ultimate to convert to mp4 for native playback on the xoom

If you haven't bought Plex you have no idea what its like to play MKVs on your device
Plex provides better quality and performance than any other app.

I use Plex but the quality is not the same as if I play the same video (4GB 720p MKV) on the PC.
But one thing is sure, gets the job DONE.

I have found that 3.1 actually does contain enough matroska container parsing (Probably due to WebM) to play any MKV files that would normally play when re-muxed to MP4 however the mimetype and file extension don't appear to be plumbed in. So as long as the audio is AAC or MP3, the video is h.264 and the bitrate/profile/resolution is ok to play then simply renaming the file to add on .mp4 (so the native video player doesn't object to the filename) then launching the video file from a file manager and just choosing "Video player" plays just fine.

Plex is a streamer, we need a local player that's better then Mobo or Rockplayer.

Plex is awesome, but it still won't the display .srt subtitles. I've tried RockPlayer, but it won't play everything.

I tried this in 3.01 and it didn't work but I'll give it a go on 3.1. If this works...!!

I started with rockplayer but then I moved to Vplayer.
Vplayer is awesome all the mkv files with subtitles that rockplayer couldn't handle, vplayer played it like a champ.
Plus i use remote potato to stream my stuff from my home PC and vplayer has been the only player to handle the task.

I still do Moboplayer it works for everything I need. When the MKV files I have don't show the subs I back out and long hold on the file and select Soft Decode which always kicks the subs in for me. Try that and see if it works for you.

Is my Xoom the only one that stutters when it's playing 720P movie on either MoboPlayer or RockPlayer?

I have not found any player that can play mkv file perfectly!
Yesterday, i tested with 1 mkv file, 720p, ac3 audio, size=1.5 Gb, both rockplayer and moboplayer could play that movie very smooth and showed subtitle correctly, but there was no sound!
When i switched to "software decode" mode, sound was fine, but video was very laggy!

Unfortunately none of the players allow mixed mode rendering, as hardware for the video is a go, but there is no hardware (or OS level) support for AC3 audio. Honestly, Android still has a ways to go as far as video codec and container support is concerned.

Just got a Xoom yesterday and have tried about 10 different players...
BS Player was the ONLY one that worked well.

+1 DicePlayer is awesome and it supports HW Acceleration

Nobody uses MX Video Player? Found it last year when I wanted to play some anime on my Evo 3D, worked like a charm, and has a separate plugin for device-specific support. Works flawlessly using software decoding, only played 480p videos so far though, supposedly works perfectly using hardware decoding on 720/1080 videos, somebody give it a shot and lemme know

I use Mx Video Player its got best interface and plays most videos and h/w support for 720p videos 1080 is pushing to the limits for Xoom.
