Ok. I know there are several video players at the market. But not sure which is the best on the SGT.
I have VLC player on several of my machines at work and at home. It has become my #1 media player. Also, I have videos in these formats:
Extension: .mp4
- -video codec: H264 - MPEG 4 AVC (avc1) 480x192 @ 24 fps
- -audio codec: MPEG AAC (mp4a) 48khz
Extension: .ogv
- -video codec: Xiph.org Theora (theo) 1280x544 @ 24 fps
- -audio codec: Vorbis Audio (vorb) 48khz
I need a player that supports those video formats as well as others like xvid, .mov & .avi
I really want VLC Player on my tab but I guess it doesnt exist. So whats my alternatives?

I am using vplayer. But no matter which one you use, you will hear a faint humming sound in the headphones. I thought the problem was with vplayer but I noticed it in other players too except the stock player which has some cool features like bookmark and lock screen which others don't have.
Vplayer for streaming via tversity and upnp. Stock player is good but is very picky
Oh and vlc for android is due very soon

M video seems the best! I love the swipe action to fast forward or rewind
The back ground noise is from the Tab its self, simlar error on the i9000, use a new kernel with voodoo sound and should/will solve ya problem

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I will try both mplayer and vplayer.
Well I read the VLC discussion forums and it seems that the developers are working hard but are still a long way from a release. By the looks of it perhaps by May or June we could have a stable VLC Player version at Android Market.

Video Player help???
Hey guys,
I have a Spring Galaxy Tab. I have it rooted and everything. I've been trying to find a all in one video player but none of them seems to be working correctly. I have several movies and videos I converted to watch on my EVO or my Zune HD, but now that I have my tab, I would like use them there too. All the videos are in Mp4 format with either a 320x240 res 600x480 (forget what the numbers are but its the level above 320x240).
Vplayer - starts up and immediately shouts down. The the icon changes and is grayed out with a little memory card icon on it. Then I have to uninstall it.
Divx Demo Player (Rock player with extras) - and it wont play anything. But it plays any format of video or movie on my Evo.
Rock Player - I have the new version from the site and it wont play anything
Seems like nothing is working.. Most times it gives a error saying the video formats are not supported. But I have all these video player on my Evo (Which I know is a completely different device) but I'm wondering if my TAB needs video codecs or something?
Any ideas?
Moboplayer
How about the stock video player of ginegerbird version,(with media striaght fight =false)?
Have u try? the stock one play mp4 avi mkv without problem except rmvb.

I will try Moboplayer. I'm still running the stock rom. Havnet tried to update to Gingerbread yet. Didnt think any of the roms would work since they are not based on the Sprint Tab.
I think I know what's wrong
Still getting the same errors on my movies. I converted them with iSkysoft Media Coverter for Mac.
Some of the movies I used the iPhone 4 profile.:H.264, 960x640 res, 30fps, 1500kbps birate.
And some using the iPod Touch mp4 profile: mp4 video codec, 640x480 res, 30fps, 2500kbps bitrate.
So now I see why they arent working, although both of those profiles work for the Evo and Zune HD,.
What is the complete best video format, res,frame etc... for the Sprint Galaxy Tab?

There are threads all over the general section on this issue. No application will play a high profile MKV on the Xoom. The native video player can play MKV files but it has to be baseline encoded. You will need to use an application like Handbrake to convert the HD video using the universal preset available on the application.
http://handbrake.fr
I haven't used it yet for Mkv but rockplayer is a great app I use to play avi files.
I've been using the full version of xvid4psp to recode x264 mkvs. Technically you can just copy the video and convert the audio to aac and push into a mp4 container, but my Xoom wasn't able to handle 1280x538 or whatever a 2.4AR movie is. I converted it to 1024x430 and was still laggy when playing with Act 1. It only takes my notebook about 2.5 hours to re-encode a movie that way so I'll probably stick with 848x352 or 848x480. Though I fear that might make it lag at full 16:9 480p so I might have to look at different profiles to make it less complex of an encode.
anyone have any suggestions for the best video viewing app for the gtab?
thanks!

Video Player
I'd have to go with MoboPlayer. Much better UI than Rockplayer, and doesn't seem near as choppy. Plus you can have a library type setup too. Check it out, it's free on the market. Also, when I downloaded the one from the market, it had me download an older version when I loaded it up for the first time. The older version actually worked better for me.
I like mVideo player. It runs very smooth on the G tab and it does have a library system with the ability for you to download cover art.
vital
my preference goes to vital player..

I like this player too but for some reason my avi files and mkvs sound seems a little low. I've raised the volume to Max and its still a little faint. Mp3s sound fine and plenty loud, I've got the volume app and tried raising the sound there but little difference...any suggestions?
Mobo player for sure. It is absolutely amazing.

It depends on the file and how it's encoded. I've got a bunch of recorded TV that I've compressed to 720P mp4 files for my HTPC. They run about 1 Gig/hour. The only combination I've found that plays them on the GTab is the Calkulin+Clemsyn combo with Mobo Player. Even then I sometimes have audio sync issues. I'm sure I could transcode them on a different setting and get better playback, but that's where I am right now.

So is there a ROM that runs 720 and 1080 videos with hw acceleration ?
Guys, use the hardware encoder and make sure your video file is MP4 H.264 - I said this because I spent 1 weeks just for trying to get better player and turns out ---> It's all about hardware encoding/acceleration.
I'm currently using QQPlayer & VitalPlayer (both free version) and all my videos are 720x480 MP4 H.264 (this give me a good size of file 1.2GB each movie)..AND MAKE SURE YOUR PLAYER USING HARDWARE ENCODING rather using software encoding!
Video converter software that I've been using (IMO) - very low CPU usage, 12hr for 10 DVD movie conversion in MP4 H.264 720x480 with subtitles is WonderShare Video Converter Ultimate - pretty good converter and average CPU usage (all 4 core 3.3ghz) is 15% - repeat 15% all cores' CPU usage....
Tried another such Cyberlink Media Espresso, Movavi converter - LOL they are all running 100% CPU utilization
Good luck guys!
ughhh dude....You WANT IT TO BE 100% CPU utilization................
Unless its using Cuda or Open CL...
lol....
I found a new player I am trying out. arcMediaPro can be found on the Market. It has some great configurations but it too struggles with some HD movies. I use my GTab as a video player to hand my drivers to review their practice session as they get out of the race car. Just grab the microSD from the camera and put it in the GTab and launch the video and hand them the GTab. I do notice the audio has some syncing issues on some recordings but I am still going through the settings which are more complex than any of the other video players I have found. Here are a couple of links to these in-car videos..

I downloaded MoboPlayer and it is working good. I do have the volume softness issue though. Any fix for this?
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.
when I play HD video (720 + 1080), there's no sound. Im using Mx Video Player and stock video player. I noticde that in Mx Video Player when I play Hd, it uses software render mode. Plz help

Which format you are trying to Play.. ?
Share link .. i ll try in my Note..
is this a video you have encoded yourself or one you have downloaded?
It's a video i copy from my friend (Ice Age2), dont know if he rip it himeself, format mkv. It play perfectly fine on his mac and his Iphone4(lag). My flv file from "Digital Tutors - Creating Stylized Female Character Concepts in Photoshop CS5" dont have sound and cant render in hardware more either (mx video player). I think its the software render problem cuz I just down and watch VS show on my phone just fine ( no sound when switch to software mode)
The standard Videos app on the note doesn't do DTS-encoded audio. Could be your problem?
I followed NZTechFreak's advice from his reviews of the Note and got DICE player off the market - plays everything I've thrown at it and does hardware decode for almost everything as well. Also decodes DTS sound. For some reason seems to use software decode for wmv files though, where the stock app will use hardware for those as well.

Just to understand it better..
I believe that your media files are on SD and your SD card is a high speed card. Most of the media playes use inmemory buffers, if the internal memory is low or if your memory card is slow you might observ lags.
I hope that this is not an issue in your caes..
Salsa only runs a single core Qualcomm MSM7227, running at 800mhz and you may not get smooth video compared to you PC. Firstly, I use a minimum class 6 micro sd card, for faster read/write times. My personal pick of video player is QQPlayer (free), available from Google Play. Approximately a 5mb download and if you use "app 2 sd" (root not required) and move QQPlayer app to your sd card, it takes up less than 1mb of internal memory.
Now the good news. I can play 720p all the time and some 1080p videos, that play, but may have sound and audio sync problems. QQPlayer will play AVI, FLV, MP4, 3GP, MKV, MOV formats and supports SRT, SMI plug-in subtitle and MKV embedded subtitle. If you Google "1080p movie trailer downloads" a fair number of web pages will have numerous HD movie trailer downloads in various qualities.
I didn't get on with qq, so I started using mx player, I feel it handles movies better and plays just about anything too throw at it. Some HD movies do lag some, but I don't mind if it's not majorly distorting the film.

With a lot of you guys recommending MX Player, I thought I would download and try it today. I have a stock standard HTC Salsa (not rooted) and my benchmark for testing HD videos is to go for broke and play 1080p HD Mp4 format.
The MX Player stalled on playing Big Buck Bunny and Avatar Trailer videos, both 1080p Mp4 format. However, QQPlayer played both fine, with slight out of sync audio on voices only.
