I'm trying to play some .avi files on my Fuze, and I tried a looking around for some codecs that would work, but I couldn't find any. Does anyone know of any good, all-inclusive or mostly all-inclusive codecs or something?
Edit: Never mind, I got it.

Ive used WMP and TCPMP.72 RCO (not sure if thats the name), but for some reason it is still selective over the videos it plays. I managed to get a video 183 mb working fine but other videos in its range wont, while some play sounds with no video. Why is that? is there a limit to the video's quality or size?
Thanks in advance
what videos can be played on any device always comes down to if the program have access to a codec http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codec
what codec is being used can often be directly related to ext of the file
of the media im question
apart from avi which can be many various codecs
Has anyone been able to play movies on their x7510? I'm having problems finding the best Audio and Video parameters that run smoothly on my x7510. The media converters that I've used haven't been able to convert a dvd movie to a useable format. The video is always too choppy and out of synce with the audio. Can anyone help?
Use Coreplayer for your 7510.
It's a really good program for playing video on Handheld Devices
Thanks for your respones. I have coreplayer v 1.3.6 build 7427 but this too performs poorly. I'm not sure what Audio and Video parameters the movie file has to be in to play smoothly. Do you known what your movie file parameters are set?
The best way to have a great quilty and also smooth playing is converting your video with "Xilisoft Video Converter".
It has a lot of good default option for converting your video for your PPC.
If you play the sound through bluetooth, it doesn't get out of sync. Also try 300ms Thats the best setting i think.
Ok, I give these two options a try. I'm downloading Xilisoft Video Converter now. I'll let you know how it works.
Thanks both of you.
I tried Xilisoft, but am not sure which setting to choose. I think Sompy Media Encoder is also pretty good, it has a setting specifically for WM PPC's

I thought that the Inspire supported .avi.... Am I wrong? I don't know much about media files, but I know that they generally have a video and a audio stream. Some of my .avi files are standard def videos but don't play. Some have .ac3 audio and from what I looked up, it's not supported (at least for CM7). Okay, that much I figured out, but other videos with different audio streams don't work either. Usually, the video stream is xvid or dvix (that's what Gspot says at least).
P.S. Tried Rock player (both the lite version in the marketplace and the optimized arm7 version online), but the frame rate still seems bad (17-25fps).
Any ideas? Or am I wrong thinking that the Inspire supports avi?
Yea I saw a couple of "mouths" claming it supported .avi a few weeks back.
I have had no luck personally with avi that is placed on the SD. However if you are in a position to stream from windows it works fine. I duno if we are both missing something hahaha but yea no go on a couple of .avi files i tried....
maybe its a sampling / BR thing.(?)
I see you are having "streaming" problems. I ve had no problem streaming except on some avi's the sound/picture wont sync no matter what i do. Sorry i missed the streaming part of your post. my bad.
the lack of a proper file explorer and video player are the only two things that suck so far... I can live with that.
Try arcMedia or VPlayer Advance from market. It's free.

Is it possible to play .avi videos on Transformer? I have tried to play videos on MicroSD but have been unsuccessful.
Try using rockplayer?

Moboplayer, free from the Market, does a nice job.
Rockplayer seems to work, thanks!
AVI, the container, is fine and Android should have no trouble with. But, there's also the codecs that the video data is encoded in, as well as the codecs for the audio data.
Those may or may not be supported, especially if they're older files using some ancient and crappy codec.
Edit: Bah, OP responded as I was writing this
I know this is an old thread but hopefully someone can still be patient and help me out.
I just recently got the TF101. I think it's the plan TF101, not the "G" version. I got it through a Groupon deal so it didn't have a lot of technical details.
I'm brand new to Android and I want to watch AVI files on the Transformer using a microSD card. I've downloaded a bunch of the usual suspects (MoboPlayer, BSPlayer, Rockpayer, VPlayer) and so far I like MX Player and Dice Player the best.
Here's the problem:
I've formatted the microSD on my iMac as FAT32 and added tv show folders. **Only SOME of the avi files play without any "read" errors** I know avi's can have all sorts of codecs but for my collection of Friends tv show I personally ripped all the episodes from a dvd set using Handbrake and used the same setting for all the videos. So why are some working flawlessly and other videos can't play at all?
Is there something that I'm missing that I need to do to make all my avi's compatible? Do I need to download something else aside from the ARM codecs req by each app? Is it because I'm using a non-brand microSD?
All help is appreciated... Thanks!
Ok, I've been struggling with this and doing all sorts of research, but I can't seem to piece together a definitive answer. This is what I know (or think I know anyhow)
1) H264 will play just fine from more or less any video player as long as you have the decode mode set right. this seems to be why so many people swear to their particular player (and I've tried so many, moboplayer, dice, etc etc.)
2) H364 is just pure crap because Tegra2 just can't handle it. Something with proprietary codecs or some such.
Now, experimenting with different HD files over the time I've owned my TF, some play and some don't. I've heard others claim otherwise. If anybody can guarantee they can play ANY , really ANY HD mkv file (H364 without re-encoding included) I'd like to know what ROM/app you're using (and I'm sure a lot of others would too). I'm sick of having to pick out/convert my movies all the time.
I'd really like to put this thing to rest.
I hear ya I dont want to re-encode my library either but becuase I cant stand not knowing I have been doing some testing to see what the problem is with not being able to play all files. I have discovered that that the Transformer does not like 5.1 channel AAC audio. I can encode any video to MP4 and it plays great when I set the audio to stereo but when I try with 5.1 AAC MP4 files it no worky. 5.1 AC3 seems to be ok. I too have tried many players from the market and get different results with each one using the 5.1 setting (such as stuttering or lagging or I think it was BS player would only play the rear channel audio) but setting my encoding output to stereo they all play fine. I was on the Google Android Developers site and it stated stereo only was supported for honeycomb so maybe the ICS upgrade will fix this issue? In the meantime I plan on continuing testing different bit rates and audio settings to try and get to the bottom of this. Sorry in advance if this did not help you.
MX player- plays anything i throw at it. make sure you get the Arm7 codec pack too.

I like very much the MX player and it is true it plays mkr videos fine but I do not have sound... I have the ARMv7 codec pack (only this one) do you get sound?
Instead, to play and hear mkv I use DicePlayer Ad. with Dice player plugin for tegra2.

Use software for audio (but hw for video)

The problem with this is that most players out there only let you use one decoding mode for both video AND audio. what player lets you do what you're saying?

Mx video with the codec pack as said previously.
I'll be sure to try it once I get home.
MX player will play the movies just fine but the issue is with the audio. The Transformer has a problem playing audio encoded with 5.1 & 6.1.
