[Q] MKV video playback - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

MKV videos. Does the Xperia Z playback MKV videos in its native video player?
If not, if I install MX Player, would MX Player play back MKV videos?
If neither of the two above options work, and I convert a MKV video....what do I convert it to? And how will the converted quality compare to the orginal MKV file?
Thanx very much for any help/anecdotes.

OP please use the 1st thread you created http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2194915, and please do not make duplicate threads on the same Topic, Thanks

[Q] Problem with video player

My video player could play .mkv & .mp4. But there is no audio for it.
could any one please solve this problem.
i have a lot of high definition videos, could not watch them with no audio
you have to make sure it's encoded properly with compatible bit rates and formats
suggestion use DivX to encode
Do you have any videos of 720p which you could play on your sgs?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
download any of the ones from YouTube
or the sample Samsung videos
or any DVD you rip from you rown discs
Firstly, try to shoot a 720p video using your SGS' Video Camera app and see if it will play with sounds. (of course you need to record something with sounds )
the vid will be in .3gp format. let's start from there..
It's most likely a codec issue. Re-encode the sound stream (Virtualdub I believe can do that)
yes i had recorded video at 720p & it is prefectly fine
how to get subtitles in a movie??
is there any app or the default video player can show it??

try mobo player.... its free in the market.. plays anything....
I tried, unfortunately does not play smoothly. I tried a rock player and vplayer. maybe some other suggestions
I am quite satisfied with QQPlayer, played MKVs extremely smoothly.
Try diceplayer
you can play 720p H.264 [email protected] +AC3/DTS/Flac MKV files
for me the best player for mkv(and not only) is MX Video Player.
With mx video player you can play 720p with h/w or s/w ?

1. Google (or a search on XDA) is your friend, and searching before asking is an XDA rule.
2. Another rule is "No Questions in the General section". Thread reported.
Pretty sure the Z can natively play MKV's, if not MKV's will definitely work with MX Player
It's funny how some people care more about reporting threads than actually answering the question...
Wrong section or not - yes, stock Movies app does support MKV files.

Yes with stock video player, I have this issue. But, you can always play with a another player e.g. MX Video Player, it works flawlessly.
Mx Video Player also can`t play the audio file for some mkv files, only when using software decoding. I think it`s because the stock video player doesn`t know the audio codec used and doesn`t have support for software decoding. But yea, using an alternative video player should work.
BSPlayer free,does it with dts as well
Using DicePlayer atm, very good, audio plays, but sometimes the audio isnt correct and makes a high pitch sound, i'll try out the other players soon

It's not a "fresh" topic for playing mkv on Android device like this Xperia z no sound output. Some people have recommend a pile of video players like MX player, Dice player, etc and some others recommend to decode/encode the MKV files to a common video files like MP4 for easy playback. I think the no audio issues mainly depend on the DTS audio codec contained in MKV files, which is not easy to handle for most of the android devices. I'm the Xperia Z user, and have some other files like AVI, FLV, MPG and VOB files to Xperia Z for free playback on the go, so I choose to get a video convert tool to fast reformat these files to a Xperia Z favorable format that won't come up any problems. I found the way to put MKV videos to Xperia Z without any audio issue from Goolge.

Forget P.O.S. spyware apps like Brorsoft...
Avidemux, on the other hand, is brilliant.
bsplayer free did the trick for me
if you're using MX player , unmark the use hw decoding tick and you'll have sound
