[Q] Video Player for AVI Divx?

Anyone find or suggest a video player that supports AVI (Divx) files for the Nook Color?

Act 1 video player i think

No, Act 1 player does not playdivx. Rock player plays videos rather superbly. I watched a 720p video with only occasional lags.

there is another media player called Arcmedia that can handle xvid/avi videos. I used it to watch a few episodes of an SDrip of Avatar the last airbender, no noticeable lag.

I haven't tried on my nook, but on my evo hands down the best (smoothest playback) divx player I've seen is yxplayer. If you want to "try" it before you buy it search around filestube.

Alternatively, there's a 2 hour refund window on the app market...so how about we not condone piracy for any reason at all, shall we?

Isn't it only 15 minutes?

My bad, you're correct. But that should still be plenty of time to see if it works.

Actually.... I personally couldn't verify within 15 minutes for most launchers, and other various programs. I get why google implemented this policy but for some apps I need at least an hour. As for the yxplayer 15 min may be enough but be sure before you buy you have however many files you want to test, on the sdcard, READY to go, 15 min goes a lot quicker than you think.

I can confirm Arcmedia works with normal xvid avis with no lag whatsoever. However, it seems to be a microsecond out of sync. Guess that's to be expected.

Decent player although its surely another galaxy s video player ripped and feature packed. That said Rockplayer being the other galaxy s rip will likely copy all features found here.

Thanks.
Unfortunately, it doesn't see the video taken by my Nexus S....

It does you have to select the camera folder on SD card and will search for media files in that directory

Thanks. Best player!

Works the same as Rock Player for me. RockPlayer decodes 720p (mkv) fine but theres no audio. Regular .avis have sound
Definitely nice video player though, I'll keep it

As usual, can't play anime mkv videos without doing slow-mo. I think vlc is the only third party app that can compete with the galaxy player.

Not yet available I'm awaiting VLC myself.
MKVs for me renders fine, just no sound is being outputted.

Can someone help me, I have installed moboplayer on my Nexus S and I am have a few questions.
1. When I connect my Nexus S to my computer what folder/directory should I be putting my video files in?
2. When I start moboplayer on my Nexus S, I am also confused about which folders I should choose. Also, when I start moboplayer I get "there's no SD card, make sure it is usable".
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Highly recommend using dice player for best HD playback becasue it uses hardware acceleration unlike mobo, rockplayer..ect
But to your question
you manually select what folder you want it to scan i made a folder called Movies..also dont use the one in OP its now available on the market

I got the one on the market...
You were really vague in answering my question though. I am not new to computers but I am new to this. Do I have to modify (root) my Nexus for this to work?
For instance I connect my Nexus S to my laptop and can get the "removable disk (H" option in my computer. Can I make any folder within there and call it "movies"?
OR is there a specific sub folder I need to be in?
Thanks for your help.

The folders as seen in moboplayer don't mirror what I am seeing on my computer. That's is why I am confused.

hey
i downloaded rock player but when i play the movie using rock player the volume of the movie being played is pretty less... is there any player which is better than the rock player and which has high volume?

MX Video Player is by far the best video player on Android IMO.
It was the only player that could play 720p MKV with subtitles without any kind of lag, problems with subtitles or sound. You can also change between audio-tracks.
It also got a the prettiest interface.

what format for movie player?

Hi
Just got my nexus 7 today and trying to drag and drop some xvid movies on to it but they won't Play! Does anyone know what format the movies have to be before I can drag and drop files from my PC on to the nexus?
Cheers

Just download MX Player or something similar and it should work.

Are you sure that HD 1280*720 that plays back??A lot of people's ROMs back on the Wildfire S forums mentioned 720p and then it turned out it's something stupid like 720*480 What CPU settings did you use??

Earlier when i tested ....the sd card booster was set at 128kb
Then i changed over to value 2038 and still theres lag while playing videos.
I again mention..these are .flv type 320p videos.
thnk u.

Mx is the best u will get. Playing vids at high Res like 720 is hit or miss so guys please lay of it this. Were all experienced enough to know it struggles to play. This post is old enough to say this. I myself have tried all video playing apps and have gone back to Mx. I stream vidoes fine in normal Res so why the need for 720. If u want to play 720 get a top spec phone from the shop.

Any 3d movie will play in 3d in the cinema app but so far the 360 video sites all seem to be of the adult variety

You are not correct.

Quite few are available. You may have to use video downloader extension for your browser. You can even find some 3D 360 videos.

You can download the mp4 file but the GVR doesn't seem to see it. Does it need that .pvr file?

You need to move file to oculus/360videos folder
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app

I did. Videos still don't show up.

Use stock video player and try to play that video. If is playable then oculus player will play it too. If not then you need to reconvert it to mp4 with mp3 sound. Easy way to check: use stock file manager, go to oculus -> 360videos and if tumbnail of video in question is visible then video should play, if has basic icon then needs to be reconverted.

Yes, but will it play as a 360 video without the extra file? I do not believe so.

They will play. If you noticed in my screenshot there are some videos without matching pvr file. I believe pvr file is tumbnail for video. Videos without pvr will have blue square as tumbnail in 360 video but they will play once selected.

Thanks. That worked but I'm having the same problem as with all the 360 videos, the focus is terrible. Is that the nature of 360 videos or something else? The focus seems to be really awful compared to still images or even regular video. Perhaps because 3D video captures less information for each view than regular video?

You can find some sharper videos. A lot has to do with compression and file size. They never going to be completly sharp on our screens. Each eye receives information from less than half of phone screen and magnification itself will blur picture. It may change with 8k displays Higher resolution 360 videos may have dimensions around 4k x 2k pixels and quality is better.
