Using the yahoomail app,i tried to open 3 videos that a friend sent to me, they are all wmv, less than 2mb, but I can only view 1 of them, the other 2 it say video file unsupported, is it the phone or the way the video was compressed? I'm pretty sure I can watch them fine on the computer, anyone has any problem playing video files with the stock player?

Supported video formats for T-Mobile G2x are DivX/Xvid/MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV.
And supported audio formats for T-Mobile G2x are MP3/WAV/WMA/eAAC+.
So it's not clear why your WMV files didn't work, probably they're encoded strangely. I play MP4 and M4V videos no problem.
Try to download it on the computer then transfer it to the phone, or try to re download it with yahoo app on wifi.

Have you registered your device at divX.com?
If not go into settings/about phone/and you will see VOD divX registration.

Can you view mp4 videos online like you can on android and ios ?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Web mp4 files will be played as streaming and open in video mode. Just like flash. But it cannot be downloaded.
Thanks!

Is there an app that can play a ripped dvd that is stored on the SGT?
That depends entirely on the codec you used for your ripped DVD. Have you transcoded the movie, is it a .vob, or have you kept it in and .iso?

I'd be using folders with the usual dvd structure and with .vob files or .iso. There's no problem playing transcoded files of course. Thanks for any info.
Have you tried the Market?
i understand your request, but i think you would be better off encoding the video to a recognized file. You can get DVD quality video at a fraction of the space leaving you more room for other stuff or more video.
But if you still want DVD folder support try DAROON PLAYER
it's free at the Android Market just search "DAROON"
hope it works for you i haven't tried it.

I miss not having the lg video player on my G2x running CM7 so I found this application that let's me watch videos such as Facebook on full screen without having to turn on the auto rotation so I thought I should share https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil

Anybody else having A/V sync issues when playing flv files? The typical fix (hardware decoding) doesn't play at all. Any help or insight is appreciated.

Tried dolphin, opera both but same issue

Download doubleTwist Player from the Market. There is NOTHING I couldn't play using that app.
Edit:
I didn't have time to elaborate in my first reply. I'm thinking your issue may be your video player (I'm assuming you are using the stock one). I noticed that sometimes the stock video player doesn't play all formats. I too had problems before with some YouTube and porn videos lol. I haven't had a single issue playing videos using doubleTwist.
@pak
I'm getting the same error as you now on YouTube through my browser.
It must have something to do with the YouTube site. I was just watching YouTube videos through my phones browser (Dolphin HD) the other day.
All other video sites are working properly on my phone.
BTW. I'm on Valhalla Black and have been for some time. Pardon the two post for one reply. Is raining and I Swyped submit lol.

Actually playing videos through stock player isnt an issue. Issue arises when i try streaming youtube on stock or dolphin browser .

I also have this issue playing YouTube movies through dolphin mini browser. My installed video player is MX player. Playing the same YouTube videos through the YouTube app is working just fine.
BTW, I debloated my stock video player, but that was long time ago and this issue is relatively new.

I found a workaround -
1. In the browser Youtube page, once you chose the desired video,
scroll down and choose "Desktop".
2. In the opened list choose the YouTube app.
Youtube app will open and play.
