I have a Gtab 1.2 firmware and rooted it with Brilliant Corners. Seems to work great. My problem is that I bought a 16GB class 4 Micro SD card and copied several movies to the card. The movies are almost all avi, with two mp4 movies. I tried to use the default video app that came with BC but it wouldn’t play any of the movies. I downloaded a different app called mVideo Player and the movies played but suddenly all the movie files are gone! I copied them all over again this time making a movie folder to put them in but the same thing happened, all the movies get deleted somehow. Any idea of what the @#$% is going on and how to resolve it?
try using moboplayer (which supports all video formats) from the market and see if your movies still get deleted

Can I make a folder on the XOOM with the videos in it? I want my son to be able to navigate to it without any problems.
Also what's the best video player out on the market? I tried VPlayer but its slightly sluggish playing avi files. I put an MPEG4 video and it plays awesome in the default video player.
Thanks.

Also wondering how to create the video folder for my 4 year old
Anyone? Or any other solution like a network drive that allows us to play videos.

Read up on CifsManager, works very well but requires root.
I just used the Movies folder that is already on the Xoom and it works great for me. Default player sees it no problem. i Use Handbrake to encode all my videos so they all play fine. Even when using the HDMI to my TV.
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!
For some reason only about half of my videos on my sd card are playing properly. They work fine on my computer but once transferred to my phone either crash instantly or I get a prompt that says "This video cannot be played". I have multiple file types, mainly .mp4 and .avi Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Download a player from the market that plays the codecs you listed. The reason some files are not playing is the lack of codec support

Correct, the default video player has limited codec support. My favourite video player is MoboPlayer (available in the Market). Most of the videos I watch are .avi format and MoboPlayer works great!
I already tried that. I dl'ed moboplayer and qqplayer. Neither worked. It did the same as the default and just crashed as soon as I tried to open it. (The video not the player)
Hello.
I have very important question.
I'm looking for movie player for my Asus Transformer, which will play video in various format and what is very important with subtitles.
This aplication can be pay(money is not important). I don't know how to use android market, becouse most of aplications are for phones, so it doesn't look good on my tablet.
So please HELP ME!!! Tomorrow Ii'm begining trip and I want have it.
Thank you
Get mobo player from the market, it's free, fast and plays almost anything. You don't even have to use the app itself, just use a file manager to pick your films and it should automatically start through mobo player.

I have Mobo Player, it's ok, but it does't read subtitles

it does read
place the subtitles on the same folder as the movies with the same name.

Can it(subtitles) be in .txt ?
It does not do subs in MKV as .ass I don't think. Anyhow playback is poor on a lot of the movies I have tried (Mostly high profile MKV x264 files). I am still waiting for a solution to this as I watch a lot of anime and do not want to reencode.

Watching latest Bleach ep 329 of filler arc at 720p and it looks pretty good and has subs with mvideoplayer.
I'd recommend vPlayer. Every file I've thrown to Mobo, mVideo and vPlayer, vPlayer has managed to play the most files on my TF.
vplayer and mobo are the two top players to pick... even though i have both, usually mobo will play everything anyways
i got the problem with Vplayer (paid version). the sound comes after the vdo. what should i do?
Looks like MoboPlayer is the best one currently. AFAIK, none of them support ASS, ordered chapters or FLAC (MoboPlayer supports it but it appears to be buggy) in MKV. The one MP4 I had did handle ASS fine though, so you might be better off just reencoding things (just changing the container probably won't take too long).
Video format
Just got my TF with docking keyboard and I've come across something strange over the weekend.
I've connected an external 500gb with my movies in .avi format. When I use mobo player, I can watch them, but when I copy/paste a movie from the external drive to my mounted SD card, mobo player can't open the file on my sd card.
Any suggestions?
I don't want to carry the external drive with me and I thought I could just copy the file to my mounted 32gb card and play it later.
I''ve used Rock Player on my dinc and it plays about everything and supports subtitles. Haven't used it in awhile though. You can try the "lite" ad version for free.
Vitalplayer plays everything I need it to vplayer is my favorite but lagged on my phone so I switched to vitalplayer on both and it works great

How about a movie stored on SD card....
Has anyone tried playing an .avi file from their external sd card?

I have not tried .avi files on a sd card. But I have tried mp4's on a class 4 16 gig card. The files did not play back as well as the internal memory. I re-encoded some mkv's using the handbrake settings I found in this forum. But I think that might also be a result of my card class. I will have to try on a faster card to see if that helps.
Chances are most of the 720P video files comes with A52 Audio track.
Surprise !
It will not play as is, using the stock video player.
where do you have the video stored? memory card or device? i had a few movies stored on my 64gb card, and when i tried to play them, with any video player, i got that message. so i transferred the same movies to a usb thumb drive, plugged it into the keyboard, and they played fine. im not sure what the issue is. but i do have some movies, that were converted specifically for my xoom, that play just fine from the memory card.
From my playing the stock video player is crap. I've had no real success playing anything unless I specifically reencode for it. Even stuff that worked on the OG transformer stock player fails on this one. That said, BS player works quite well as long as you are playing the videos locally.
I've had very little luck streaming from UPNP server in my house due to poor wifi streaming rate.
The BS player is by far the best.

i will give it a try.
edit: a little buggy. i skipped to a specific spot in a movie, and it just froze for and didnt play. do i need to install one of the codecs?
MXVideo Player played the movie with no issues.
