Can i just put a avi move on the micro sd card and put it in my gtab?
It's running tntlite latest firmware.
I have loaded a avi movie on the card but tablet doesn't see it. Any help would be great. I have downloaded a app to play movies but it shows the card is blank but the movie is there.
thank you darrin
Hey guy I got it. I had to change the root to sdcard2 to find the files.
What is the best player Rockplayer? Mine only works in Hardware mode.
thanks again
Try arcmedia. It's fairly highly regarded.
Vitalplayer is my new default video player. Plays more formats that rockplayer for me and has brightness controls built in. Arcmedia for some reason will stretch your video full screen and will only zoom out to native size or stretched to fullscreen.

What a useless response
OP: I use rockplayer lite. It plays every .avi file I throw at it.
MX Video player is pretty sweet and free.
I like that you can pinch zoom vids while playing
This was one of the posts that came up under search. I transferred several movies to the sd card from my computer. I was able to watch them at one point with a movie player and now can not access or see any movies on the sd card. I put the sd card back in my computer and see the movies in the folder.

1.When you put your SDcard back in your device, make sure you click mount SDcard in your settings menu.
2. Along with the above suggestion, before you drop your card in the Xoomy, (find a converter, I lke "audials tunebite"it's pretty fast) Just convert them to mp4 and you can view them in the default player, and any other player for that matter- and it is all good!
As always, if this was helpful - Give Thanks!
I use mobo player free in the market. Best there is imho.

I had the same thing happen to me. I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out what happened to my files. I also removed the sd card from the Xoom but that didn't bring them back. I had to unmount/mount the sd card in settings before it would work.
Also, DVD Catalyst 4 is an awesome program that will convert your movies into a Xoom high quality format. I ripped several movies yesterday and it was easy and works great AND the movies look awesome on the Xoom.
Another vote for MX player. Plays .avi, .mkv, .mp4 supports hardwre and software encoding. Touch (swipe) controls for volume, brightness, scroll back and forward. all-around great player. and FREE
I recently bought a tf700 32gb. I have a roughly 25 gb music collection and a couple movies I want to put on my infinity from my old laptop. I have all of the media saved on a 32gb sd card, the problem is that the stock music and video players don't like some of the file types ( it won't play. WMA music or .mkv or .mp4 movies). What would all of you recommend as far as players that handle more file types or ways to convert the files?

I can recommend BSPlayer.
BSPlayer is what I use too, seems to play everything under the sun...
BS player won't do it. Sometimes it'll play about a second of the movies before crashing, mostly it just t fails to open the files. Could it be that the files are too large? All of them are larger than two and a half gb's. I'm pretty sure my card is formatted correctly because i can play a 700 mb .avi video from it.

I have not had any issues in playing movies in excess of 4 GB with BSPlayer

PowerAmp for audio. DICE player for video.
I have the free version of the app, could that cause the problem?
BS player has played everything i threw at it. Im watching n 11gb 1080p blu ray mkv of Avengers right now, with no issues.

I would copy some media files to the internal storage and try it again, this would rule out sd card issues...
While I'm at it, can I ask how your sdcards are formatted, or where the media your playing is saved?

I haven't had any issues with it. Granted I have only played mkv (with DTS audio) on it, either from local storage or streaming from a Twonky server. It can't be the file size, the movies I played were 10+ GB.
Ok, so i wasn't specific enough before, I had my music and movies on a 32 microSD drive, mounted to the tablet. I tried putting it into an adapter and using it with the keyboard dock. Now everything is working exactly like i should be. I took the files from my laptop with the card and adapter combo too, but i dont know if that has anything to do with this solution working. This is different from the original subject, but does anyone know why this might be, or how I could get it to work with just the microSD?
And for the record, Im liking BSPlayer for movies, and Player Pro for music.
So I got digital download from Paramount and Universal a while ago. I was force to use this Digital Download manager http://www.digitalcopydownload.com worst call ever!!!
So the movie plays just fine on window media player, but now that I was able to buy a TF700. I try transferring the movie to the table, but it wont even transfer. So I though I could transfer to a micro sd card, but now it tells me its write-protected.......
I got on the web page for help and this is what it gives me......
"Portable Device Requirements:
PlaysForSure compatible portable media player with video playback support of at least 796 Kbps and video playback support of protected WMV files
Enough free storage space for the video"
Anybody got a solution to remove the write-protection so that I can get it playing on the tablet???
UPDATE: I guess its call DRM......freaking cant find a decent software to take it off......
Check out Audials Tunebite. I use it for my audio files but they make a video and pro version that does both. I have used it for years. Works on the same principle as the DVD backup software out there. It plays the file and records it in another format of your choice. I turned all my music into standard MP3 format. Can do the same with the video version, make all videos MP4, which is a format that works with pretty much every device known and works with HD as well.

Hello all,
I'm very new to Asus and Google OS but not new to the tech scene. I wanted to watch avi movies on my transformer so I loaded a few tv episodes onto a microSD (generic, 32gb class 4) but not all the files will play. I'm using MxPlayer and DicePlayer and neither are doing the trick. I've also tried MoboPlayer, BSPlayer and Rockplayer. None of these will handle all the avi files. Only selective files will play.
The plot thickens. I understand avi's can have a wide assortment of codecs but for one tv show (Friends) I personally ripped all the episodes myself from a DVD collection using Handbrake, with the same settings for all episodes (which now I forget because it's been so long). SOME of these episodes play perfectly without a hitch while others won't load at all.
Can anyone advise on troubleshooting? Could it be there generic microSD card? Do I need to download additional codecs from the internet or search other media players?
Thanks in advance!!

It could be that some of them didn't copy over correctly. Check the file size of each episode to see if it matches on your computer ad the SD card. If it doesn't, that's your problem. If they do match, try playing them from the SD on your computer. If they don't play right, delete and copy them back over (or re-rip). If they all play fine, find someone who knows this better than I do. Oh, and MX will tell you the codec under Tools->Properties->More when you're watching them.
Hi,
for my holidays I copied some records from my receiver to the tablet. All the movies are from ARD HD and come in ts format.
I tried to watch the movies with different players (MX-Player, ...), but with each player the same result:
after around one minute the sound becomes asynchron and so I couldn´t watch the movie...
Is the tablet to slow for such records? Does it help to install a faster ROM (I´m using the original ROM).
The files are on my Class 10 SD card. I couldn´t test it on local memory, because I have not enough space.
Somebody has/had similar problems?
Cheers!
I tried some more apps and with VLC the movie and sound works like expected! But I recognized a very little jerking in the video...
I also installed the ARM 7 Neo(?) codecs for MX Player and now it works with the MX Player too.
But I'm also think about installing a new faster Image...
