Anyone know of an app that's will play these files? Vitalplayers tries but barely shows an image.
Seaman Player supports that format:

However I recomend you use handbrake to convert videos so that Vitalplayer can handle them better.
seaman did not work. it actually does not seem to be that great of an app. ive been told new rockplayer might work so i'll try that tonight.

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.
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:

hello everyone. i have just bought the nook colors and i have some question.
like i can see the nook have a problem for read vidéos, why? what is the answer to this problem? the problem can be solved?
thanks
What app are you using to watch videos and what format are the videos in? I found using Handbrake to convert videos to mp4 or mv4, iPod Touch format, works wonderfully with the stock reader.

I Try to Watch vidéo in mpeg4 ( divx ) format or mkv, Why it doesnt work?
what program are you trying to view it with, The only programs that can watch mkv are rock player and 1 other i cant remember what its called. To watch an mkv you need to make sure it is 480p otherwise it will studder out on the device
If you are trying to use the default software it will not work because it doesnt know how to read the mkv package
which program i need to use for watch avi vidéo ?
RockPlayer will also play avi files, but some people have reported some problems with the quality, like audio-video out of sync or stuttering.
It may be worthwhile to simply convert to video to mp4 using handbrake (the latest beta build works) and playing it with the built in player (simply called Video, I believe)
yes i heard something about the ’OMAP3621 who can managing the encoding, but this function is locked
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 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....
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
