Hi All
I have searched and downloaded numerous players but all seem to have a flaw or don't work as expected. Can someone please point me in the direction of a good all round player, or a good convertor
Thanks in advance.
I am using the Hero with 2.1
Have you tried meridian player?
As for converter I recommend Super by eRightsoft.

Hi All
Thanks for all your help
After trying various players and converters I have finally found a solution that plays back smoother than a cashmere codpiece
I actually used the HTC player that is pre-installed but converted the movies with the Realplayer converter. It actually lists a few HTC phones and converts to .wmv and plays like a dream.
The only problem I have come accross is it will not show the title of the film just a snapshot, but at least the movie plays in top quality.
Rockplayer used to be my favorite, but it doesn't use your phones GPU to play higher quality movies. So if you want a video player that can play mkv files and divx WITH subtitle support that also remembers the position of every movie you play...
GET mvideoplayer
...assuming your phone has a decent GPU. I doubt it would be good for snapdragon phones... but it's better than the default Galaxy S movie player

I can't find ArcMedia player. Seems like it is gone from the marketplace. Too bad... it looked like a winner.
Act 1 is very refined with lots of options. It will only do h264/mp4, but it does them really, really well.

I checked out developer's website for rockplayer specifications and came to realise that it actually supports .srt subtitles if u only put them in same folder as movie.
hello
Which app do I need to play mkv/HD content on the transformer?
Thanks

mobo player seems the best for functionality and .mkv files. Rock player for .avi. (My experience so far)
i had a lot of problems with mobo when i tried to hdmi mirror the only one that seems to work for me was Vplayer.... ya i know it's 5 dollars but atleast it works really work... and ya 1080 mkv's work fine
With Mobo player I have problems getting sound. (IE the movie playes stutter free, but i get no sound at all.)
With vplayer, rockplayer, and a few other I've tried, I get this horrible stuttering /slow fps in the playback.
I'm running a stock rom, not rooted with all OTA updates.
Honestly, your best bet is to transcode/re-encode your videos to mp4 format.
That's the reason I might switch to the Galaxy Tab when it comes out.
Re-encoding is a pain in the ass.
I wish there was something that works well for all the formats, a VLC or something would be awesomeness.

Galaxy Tab has the same engine under the hood, so it will have the same problems. You might have to wait until Tegra 3 for this to be fully fleshed out.

Samsung frequently add support for MKV and AVI containers into their android phones. But that is _just_ the container support it doesn't magically give the Tegra2 enough grunt to play high bitrate high profile blue ray rips.
Also note that the TF can already parse MKV containers (otherwise it wouldn't be able to play WebM) it just doesn't have the ".mkv" file extension plumbbed into the gallery or the default player. I've found that as long as the video and audio streams are playable then simply renaming the file so that there is ".mp4" on the end (without transcoding nor changing container) is enough to make mkv's play in the default player

I'll bet that's high/main profile h.264 video with AC3 audio. That will never play without at least transcoding the audio track. You either get hardware acceleration (and the hardware can't play the audio track) or pure software decode (and the CPU can't keep up with the video)
Hi guy im wondering what is the best video player app out there that will support subtitles when u have them in youre sd card. Ive tried quite a couple already and none seem to get the subtitles running or it just wont show it. Ive tried "rock player, vplayer act 1 video player and vita player pro. None of this app video players seem to wrk with subtitle. Please let me know if you know any thank u. By the was i got the g2x phone.

The mVideoplayer is my favorite one, but the MoboPlayer would be the one that plays the most files.
Video Formats
What format and settings are you using for the videos? I've used a couple of players so far, and both mobo and mvideoplayer have done well for me so far, but specific video formatting can be sketchy. I've found that its best to remaster any vids I grab to a universal format that does a reasonable job of compression vs quality. I don't recall the settings I've been using off the top, but I can check once I get home from work and let you know what works best for me.
Moboplayer!
stock is best
i think the stock player is best ... but it would be nice if someone would compile VLC to work on android... just a thought.
I use Vplayer and it plays everything i need to, trial is free and says it only will work for 30 days or something like that but i have used it past that with no problems
is there anything that will play ISO though?
I personally use vplayer has best quality and haven't found a video yet it hasn't been able to play...

The film and the subs are with the same name? Like Avatar.rmvb / Avatar.srt and in the same folder?
mVideoPlayer
Hey guys. I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and I think the stock video player is ****. Then again, I haven't liked stock something in a long time in any of my phones.
I'd like to know which video player is best? One that handles all known video formats beautifully and taht plays even 720p MKV files smoothly or as smooth as can be.
Do suggest paid apps as well. I haven't had a good video player in ages, so I'm ready to dish out around 5 bucks for it. I'd want VLC, though, but it's been in development for ages and seems to never see light.
What about MX Player Pro???
MoboplayerPro or Rockplayer
Be warned,rock player ain't preety, but it's a format buster,mobo has a neater ui and works around about the same.
Another vote for moboplayer. One of the main things I do on my GS2 is to watch videos. I´ve thrown a bunch of different formats and codecs and I never had any issues. It also supports subtitles.
MX Player for me. Swiping for volume/brightness/scrubbing is awesome. It also has 200% volume boost via software encoder.
i'm using MoboPlayer, Think is best
interface +
compatibility +
Another vote for moboplayer!! It's pretty good...
Mx player.
$1 gets you a reply
MXplayer for me.. I would like to get the pro version.. But I dont use credit cards..

Try diceplayer from market.
Diceplayer is the first HW accelerated video player in Android Market.
It support 720p H.264 MKV with OGG/FLAC/AC-3/DTS audio and embedded and external subtiles.
and SMB/FTP/HTTP support.
You can play video from your PC with SMB share with external subtitle.
I use MX Player & its the best player so far, it contains every feature I want... Best & fast...
Haven't really played alot of videos on my phone for a while now, but i use VitalPlayer by Ringo.
Found it to be one of the better apps for playing video. Tried quite a few before picking that one.
Free and Paid option is avaible.

Hello fellow GNOTE 10.1 users,
Idk if anyone else tried it but when I try to play some soft subbed 720p videos (mostly anime videos with eng subtitles) the stock media player could only play audio and the best I can have some laggy playback using BsPlayer free. So, does anyone know a way to solve this problem? Is it a much broader problem in Android devices in general that has not been soIved yet or does some certain magical codec pack do the trick?

Try mx player and install codecs for arm v7
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Nope, it is laggy as hell, the video and the audio go out of sync awfully frequently. By the way, I have tried many 1080p movies and they worked seamlessly before, so my unit is definitely not at fault here. Any other suggestions?

Try both hw/sw /hw + acceleration. If it doesn't work. Then the last chance is in dice player those are the best 3 players in market, but don't worry it is definitely not the device's problem it is software issue
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app
Tried both. in hw it does not even show the video and in sw the problems I've pointed out persists. I've tried many different players before -dice as well and it was BsPlayer which gave the best performance. Though as I said, it is also laggy.
Thanks for your time and suggestions.
Yeah, I have the same problem. Looks like I will have to extract all the subs....no other player worked....
Edit: I tried another animes from other sub groups and some of them are working, like from gg and gotspeed, no luck with coomie and utw though, I gotta look at it, maybe theres problem with the format of the subs.
Guys, after the long struggle, I found the remedy! Just install archos video player and its codec pack and that's it. 10-bit video playback problem is gone forever.
