[Q] What's the best video player for the tab?

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
Here's the git..

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

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?

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.

Dice player work .

[Q] 720p Mkv laggin

Sorry for starting a new thread, but I searched and couldn't find answers.
I'm trying to play 720p mkv files and they are all stuttering in my CM7 kang and etana kernel. Youtube 720p videos are ok, but the only way I could find to play my files was converting then to 640x480 (someone wrote that in some thread).
Is there any other way to play these files?

Maybe not enough ram. Tuurn off some apps

Try bs player lite

I've tried all them, but have no luck. Do you really can always see any kind of 720P?

The built-in player (and all other players usig "hardware acceleration") works for some videos, for some others software-decoders work (mx player has a pretty good one).
BUT, you will not be able to play everything on this phone. "Hardware decoder" only supports up to a certain specification and "software decoding" is limited by the processor (overclocking might help a _little_ here).

Weird, I have same rom and kernel right now, plays ok even in HDMI the only problems this have is with 1080p with high profile, or some main (see bitrate), simple profile plays good.

when i play 720p mkv files i get a little stutter and audio-video sync problems. A 720p mp4 files plays perfectly though.

HD video player which supports 720p, 720i

I have tried MX player also. But it lags.

Try in MX player to change decoder settings to S/W as standard. It worked for me in some cases.

Try qq player..

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.

[Q] MKV app for Xperia Z- which one is best??

Several people have recommended MX Player as the best app for playing back MKV video files.
Which apps are Xperia Z users using with good results?
Is an additional app necessary, or does the Xperia Z playback MKV videos on its own?
On the other hand, if MKVs can't playback at all...what video format should I convert them to?
Many thanks for any advice/anecdotes.

Sony's stock app can play MKV files so you don't really need any 3rd party apps.
MX Player is the best app to play every possible format - honestly, i've never seen a file that MX cannot play. Think of it as of VLC.

MX Player is the best one, be sure to enable the HW+ decoder in settings. It allows you to play nearly any video with hardware acceleration (and Bravia Engine).

How are you managing to do this? The Sony go software recognises the mkv files but always trys to convert them during transfer. Sometimes showing as 3 or more hours to copy 1 file

Just copy without converting. It will work fine.
The stock player is quite good but isn't compatible with the audio CODECS in some MKV containers.
I find Dice player the best at the moment. It plays everything i give it.
