now the gingerbread own player just can play mp
4 files, but i want to see some avi videos?
Rock player from memory supports both.
And, VPlayer.
Which Gingerbread rom are you using? I get constant fc's with rockplayer on MM's rom.
Vplayer works well for avi, havn't tried it for rmvb but it says it supports it in its description.
I've only used it on froyo but I assume it works on gingerbread also.
V player was great for Froyo but force closes on Gingerbread every time, at least for me..
Per the dev vplayer has not been formatted to work with gingerbread
Not sure if he will update or not but it says so in description on market that its not compatible
VPlayer FCs because of linkage errors (opencore/openmax - surfaceflinger)
Arc Media Player closes itself upon loading video... guess there's nothing supporting Gingerbread atm! *hint to devs*

Glad to hear that. I've only recently purchased it
For some reason it closes the vid randomly. most times around 10 minutes mark.
Not buying yet, going to email the dev and ask. Bet you they ask that I buy first.

Hello!
I'm wondering if any is working on it actively? when do you think we will see a free, working codec / player of divx / xvid for android / htc magic mobile?
conveting movies is ok, but not a big fun ;P so, i hope some one will come up with something soon...
there is a paid one, but it is not too good, and movies got unwanted delays in middle of the presentation.
thanks!

sorry, just to clarify, yxflash is a free app on market, but you need to buy a license for it. there is a trial mode for ti.
and it needs to be polished more as well. Doesn't work perfectly for me
does it work perfectly for most people?
I'm using it to show people the new cataclysm wow trailer. Although it will play the original HD file from the website, it is laggy as hell. I use pspvideo9 to convert it to mp4. Plays Like a dvd.
It works ok for me on my phone,but i only use it to watch tv shows,so 45 minutes run time max. (test both G1 and Magic).
Lifehacker just posted that about watching divx on Android, and I thought of this thread. They use RockPlayerBase which is still in beta, but apparently gets the job done.

You're trying to play 720p video on a device with 192/288mb ram and a 528mhz CPU?! You're clearly intoxicated if you think that's going to work smoothly.

Nope, I am aware of the hardware limitations of the 32B, but I am trying to play a 640x352 AVI. Rockbase player doesn't even shows a frame, it shows nothing.With other players like yxflash I can see the movie, although not in a decent frame rate.

i'm trying it on my HTC magic (running cyanogen 5.0.8, which is indeed 2.1)
doesn't work for me either. i can't seem to open any files.
tried 4 different avi's. all of them bring the app back to the folder selection screen.
i tried uninstalling + reinstalling the player twice as well.
any suggestions?
It requires a CPU with ARMv7 instruction set. HTC Magic have only ARMv6. That is why it isn't working...
RockPlayer does have 3 branches:
taken from their site at andplayer.com
Version ARM V7 ： Google Nexus One, HTC Desire Incredible EVO , Moto Milestone XT800, Droid Series,Acer Liquid, Samsung Galaxy S, Sony Ericsson X10 ,Dell Thunder Streak, LG LU2300 .ect
Version ARM V6 VFP： Samsung SHW-M100S GT-i5700 ,HTC Legend ,etc.
Version ARM V6 ： All models left running Android support ARMv6 instruction set.
I was able to play an Xvid encoded file from my mytouch 1.2. It can be a little choppy and audio/video desync, but it mostly does the job.

I have just tried it on my HTC MT3G and it gets audio/video desync, although it was a small sized video...
So, guys , as i understand there's no solution - we can't play xvid and as I tried big .avi files on our mt3g`s. If someone finds a player please post it here so we all can use it btw if someone can tell me player which plays big avi files - please write me a message or smth.
Are you serious? Did you not bother reading the thread before posting? Are you just trying to pad your message post count? READ.

If you want to start easy, just rip with the movie to mobile option and pick iPhone. It should work fine.
Well to anyone who wants to know... I used dvdfab and just ripped using the generic type and then saved it to the sd card on my phone and it plays perfectly. so if theres any of yall that cant do it then just follow what i did. download dvdfab and then pick source from dvd then click rip and then generic and then start. let it finish then mount your phone to computer then drag and drop movie to sd card. done and done...

I find if i pick iPhone and then change the screen resolution to match the 480 x 800 pixels (depends on the movie ratio) - that i get a slightly smaller file size then doing generic. I also found MP4 smaller then MKV.
Here's a program you can buy for $9.95 or you can also just download the free version for the Droid Incredible which has the same resolution as the Galaxy S. http://www.tools4movies.com/
The only videos I have on my Cappy are frlm youtube. I download ek from youtube in flv format and use handbreak to convert them to mp4 and they play without issue. Ive been wandering what video codecs are supported. Ive successfully played h.264 720p brrips flawlessly off my sd card(class4) and couldnt be happier.
As far as Im aware, the Cappy is sorta like the PS3...add a file and it should play. I have found out that it dosent really like flv..soooo..I convert all my youtube ahit to mp4 and leave all my brrips as the are and everything plays fine.

There's a website called keepvid.com that will allow you to download youtube videos. Just copy and paste the youtube url into the box and it does the rest

From what I've read, it's a long drawn out process that really sucks and I have no idea how it's done.
Sorry.
. .
I use DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD then AutoGK to convert it to xvid. Transfer the movies to my SD and it plays perfectly. I also have Rock Player instead of the stock media player. Doing a comparison between the two there is a slight improvement on the quality using Rock Player.
Hi Guys & gals.
Since VLC player has already been ported to iPhone 4, & the sources available for anyone to comile it for any other platform of his/her choice, what's stopping someone from porting it?
Advantages:
- dont bother about conversion, can play all.
- many others that are not apperent to me as of now .
The source code page - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-sources.html
I know this thread doesn't belong in this forum, will be tossed to the appropriate one at appropriate time by appropriate people & I welcome it.
i still prefer mVideoPlayer
yeah, advantage "dont bother about conversion" is kinds pontless - we already can play everything.
would be cool if we could watch divx-streams
Thank you all for answering, but if its on iPhone 4 why not on my SGS?

VLC uses software decoding/rendering to display movies. This sucks. Bad.
mVideoPlayer uses the on device codecs, which use the on device GPU to decode/render movies. This is way, way better.
So yeah, VLC can be ported, but I doubt anybody will put in the kind of insane work required when mVideoPlayer is available - with mVideoPlayer on an SGS being the best (by far) video solution for any mobile device available.
+1 for this

To be honest vlc suks big time even on windows. You can download many-many players that look better, work faster, have more options, play same amount of file types and do it faster.
Window media player classic is a good one. Search for CCCP on Google. I only use VLC for region locked DVDs.
VPlayer is good enough?

(unless you actually want the orange cone etc.)

The best one i've come across so far.
Thread moved to Q&A.
You can go to the VLC forum and see that they are working on it.

mVideoPlayer does NOT play all formats, like .rm (Real Media Codec) which VLC does.

Depends on your criteria. I personally prefer Media Player Classic Home Cinema with ffdshow.
I am thinking probably not but still thought I would ask...
Presumably VLC will when/if it turns up on the market, but until then any ideas?

What format are the movies? And did you download them from iTunes? It's possible that a.) they are an unsupported format, which depending on the format a 3rd party video player might be able to play them and/or b.)they have drm and can only be played by iTunes or an iTunes device like an iPad or Apple TV

Yeah, .m4v is not a supported format. There is an app on the Play Store called VPlayer that says it can play .m4v. Give it a try.
try mxplayer, it played everything i have so far, buttery smooth too.

I had problems with VLC player last night. I put a TV show, .mkv on it, and it was definitely choppy at times and got color distortion at times.
Those digital copies are usually loaded with DRM.
I mean, totally makes sense to copy protect a copy you're giving to someone who actually paid for the full version.

Does this VLC link work for people? I got it installed, and it comes up, prompts me that it's beta and may cause my kittens to die a premature death, and then within 2 or 3 seconds promptly crashes/closes. I've tried several times and same result. Anyone got a fix?

No go on that.....I've tried all the players for some reason its not working
I'm pretty sure it's because of DRM issues.
All the movies I backup on my MacBook are in .m4v format... I just change the file extension to .mp4 and all is good for playing on my phone and Windows pc's. If that doesn't work then it has to be DRM issues.
