anyone , i am using coreplayer here to oplay my movies, but when played full screen it plays in full but with the top and bottom black bar............anyway to get the pda to play one end to the other in REALLY FULL screen?>??
If your movie has a different resolution then 320*240, then it is normal that you get black bars.
You can use pocketdivxencoder to change the resolution or aspect ratio.
I have a MP4 movie that I want to watch
There is sound but no picture if I open in the TF3D built in player (plays other formats fine)
If I open in WMP, it's fine until I change to full screen
Because its in letterbox format, you can still the edges of the movie as if it was in portrait mode
Hopefully the attached pic explains it better
My orbit never suffered with this
Anyway to make the TF3D app play more file types
Anyway to fix the screen issue with WMP
it's now working in TF3D but the windows media screen problem is still there
Any ideas why ?
Hi Everybody,
I'm having a great time with SGS's default video player (certainly the best player for android, bettering the third party players).
But there is one small problem I'm facing with this player.
I'm having loads of movies in my hard disk and I'm using Media Player Classic to see it in my monitor and I press the button 'NumPad 9' to zoom to my desired level, as I hate the 2.35:1 aspect ratio.
But in SGS video player, there is no option to do so. There is one great option to "fit to screen". But that stretches the video. Is there any player, through which I can Crop the Aspect Ratio (or Zoom the video)?
If not, Can you guys help me find a video converter that just crops the aspect ratio of the video alone (no conversion, only cropping of aspect ratio), there by it doesn't take a lot of time to convert a particular video.
As of now, I'm using XiliSoft Video Converter.
I'm having D930 CPU. It is taking 200 mins to convert a video file of 2 hr length.
And the funny part here is, the video itself is 700mb. But I'm converting it to 900mb video (but still the quality is reduced) and it takes a lot of time and CPU energy.
If only there was a player to crop/zoom aspect ratio or a converter that just crops the aspect ratio, I CAN SKIP the HOURS of video conversion on my PC.
Help me out guys!!!!
Edit: BTW, if there is any such player to zoom aspect ratio, it'd be great if it plays all kinds of formats like our default player does.
Edit2: Tried Act1 Video Player. Didn't Help. There is an option to crop, but didn't work on SGS
currently i'm using mVideoPlayer, i've not been able to find a better one at this time
i know exactly what you mean, i watch a lot of foreign videos on my phone and sometimes the source aspect ratio is just not encoded properly, if you put it all full screen it looks weird, if you leave it as it, it also looks weird
a good video player software supporting subtitles files and option to control the video aspect ratio would do wonders
the first video i put on mine that was 2 hours was chup chup ke ....im sure you know that one haha sounds like your putting some long bollywood films on there.
BTW, act1video player is cool in cropping and zooming. They've got that option, but it doesn't work on galaxy s as of now
Hope they ll fix this issue soon

my only concern with the SGS's Video player & mVideoplayer is that the fast forward/rewind is slow. when you ff a video using the time line, it'll take a few seconds to play.
This became a concern when I was defending my SGS against my friend's iFAG4. We used the same Avatar Video that i downloaded, when my friend ff/rewind the video on his iFAG4, we can see every frame while moving the timeline and immediately plays the video.
Pre-cropping the video on your pc is a no-go for you, since you will always have to re-encode it as well. Still, if you have no better options, I'd recommend Virtualdub for the job.
still no solution?
Thanks by advance guys!
Best program out there for video conversion!

unbelievable!
I give up!
If u guys at XDA have no answer, then there is no vid player for android that can crop. period!
when i watch movies on galaxy s2, the movie is a little strip of film between two huge black bars.
stretching wouldn't work in this case, coz people would look like they are falling into a black hole throughout the movie
core player and other players did a beautiful job in WM6.5! and wm6.5 is considered a fossil when compared to androids latest (like gingerbread).
makes u wonder... why does android have more than 200 million users...
In fact.... I really cannot understand why android is continuously loaded up with tons of potentially wonderful features, but all the users are punctually pissed off by poor implementations that make these features pointless.
Sadly, I'm starting to think that android is just an OS for "surprising friends" rather than an OS intended for actually enjoying your device.
Still searching for a player to crop the aspect ratio of a video.
mVideoplayer and ACT 1 video player has the option to crop to zoom. But both doesn't work Galaxy S
I use mVideoplayer with my SGS, and the crop/zoom options worked fine with Froyo 2.2.1.
After the 2.3.3 update, mVideoplayer is unable to zoom. Only stretching is possible, of course with black bars and wrong aspect ratio.
Foxreal Video Converter may help
Hello, you guys!I have find something that may help--Foxreal Video Converter.I have tried the free trial version,it wors like a charm!Something on their website:

thanx for the attempt bro, but no thanx.
this is not a solution. it's not even a workaround. the device itself is still not cropping anything.
we wanna throw any vid in there and play with the right aspect ratio, without any bars, making use of ALL of the screen. simple.
You may try Asoftech video converter which helped me before, download from: Windows video converter
hope this helps.

Haven't you ever heard of the app MX Player? It can do exactly what you are thriving for here. Try it.
Rockplayer plays my AVIs fine, with a bit of audio lag that's OK most of the time. My problem is that I like to fill the screen of my NC, and when I do that, the aspect ratio is distorted (and so is the picture, of course).
Rockplayer is supposed to fill the screen and keep the aspect ratio, but I cannot find any way to control it by setting preferences.
Also, I can't find a way to terminate Rockplayer, even using Advanced Task Killer. If I want to switch to a different video in the middle of one that's current playing, I can't do it.

You mean this? https://market.android.com/details?id=com.entertainment.mobomusic.player&feature=search_result ... Looks like it only plays music.
OP was talking about difficulty with video in Rockplayer...
MoboPlayer is not a market app.

Okay... that's kinda helpful, coulda mentioned that in your original post.
I suspect this http://www.moboplayer.com/moboplayer_en.html is the app chisleu is talking about.
And very smooth player.
First I've heard of Moboplayer. Just tried it and am happy with it. Seems to be the first player I've found to play back TV show AVI's (XVID) well without audio sync issues or dropped frames. It even played a 2.5gb 1280x544 high profile bluray rip for a while before losing audio. Going to be experimenting with this player to see how it works with smaller resolution high profile rips.
File browsing inside of it is a bit of a PITA. Hoping that during beta they fix that part.

I find MotoPlayer to be the same as Rockplayer, audio lag and all. Both play AVIs smoothly.
It adds a 4:3 and 16:9 ratio, but the 16:9 option, which I was hoping would fill the screen, makes people look skinny.
Is there an LCD density setting that would display 16:9 properly...? I realize the NC is not 16:9, but I'm OK with chopping off the left and right sides a little...
I love using the stock video player on my note 8, especially being able to screen mirror a movie AND still use the phone in a normal manor without disrupting the film. Only negative is it's terrible when it comes to codecs.
Anybody know of an app/or a way were I can play any movie regardless of codec and be able to screen mirror in the background? I've tried loads but none have that one feature the stock video player has.
Any help would be appreciated!

Mostly, it depends of the device you are trying to mirror. For example, if you have a smart TV with mirrorcast you can send videos in background with YouTube vanced, the same for Roku.
It's a downloaded film to my devices internal memory so YouTube Vanced wouldn't work in this scenario
