Play AVI/WMV

Any players to run AVI or WMV on the Evo? I pushed the video player from the Epic 4G via ADB but it didn't show up, so that's not gonna work.
Any alternatives? Takes me 3 hours to convert to mp4 -__-

Super All In one Player 2.0
Theres also one called super all in one player it supports alot of things somethings I never even heard of lol.

[Q] How good does .avi files play?

I'm considering buying a Xoom, and I've been trying to read up on it, and it seems as though video playback has been discussed to great extent. Most of what I've read is about HD files (.mkv).
How is the video playback of .avi files on the stock player?
If it sucks, would you recommend any other apps? Or would I need to re-encode them?
I will use this when travelling, so I can't use any streaming software from my regular pc.
I have no problem with rooting and installing custom ROMs if that would improve anything!
Thank you!

Is it so much of a diffference it's worth doing it? Is it unwatchable if you don't?

In my opinion it is not worth doing. Just download Mobo Player from the market and you'll be fine. Not had 1 .avi that would not work with Mobo, nor noticed any difference in the quality.

No issues here either, there are a few things that I've reencoded due to size but not found any issues..
fyi I've been using freemaker video converter to reencode stuff if it needed doing.

On the xoom page on motos website it says that .ago is not nativly supported by the android OS, and that using decoders may reduce battery time if its not done on a hardware level. Any of you having trouble with battery life?

Mobo does both hardware and software rendering and there are other players on the market that will use hardware rendering.
As for battery life, I cant honestly say that I have seen a decrease that would make a difference to my useage.

Thank you all!
Now I know what I'm gonna ask santa for this year

Does anyone else have problems playing movies?

I had the same movies on the first atrix and they played flawlessly. They're .avi and either they won't play or they lag, and audio isn't synced. Please let me know if this can be fixed or if it may just be my phone. I have already reflashed my phone back to stock and it didn't fix the problem, thank you.

Do you also have problems them playing with DicePlayer?

I normally don't use the stock player as sometimes it lags or doesn't play some files on my SD card so I used moboplayer

I guess I'll try downloading different players... also do you guys remember the way we could play music, videos, and see pics through HDMI on the ffirst atrix? I don't have that option, I can only mirror my display -_- and playing movies like that really screws with the quality

Try .mpg/.mpeg and see if that helps.

Check the audio on the files, if the audio is 48hz then playback skip crazy like

I have the same problems. For some reason the Atrix 2's hardware decoders aren't adequate. I can play a 720p mp4 file perfectly but when playing avi files it gets really choppy.
I simply used MX Video Player. Great video player. It let's you select the folders that it scans for video files. The player tries HW decoding and if that doesn't work it goes to SW decoding. Since most avi's play in HW decoding just click the screen's HW sign to change it to SW or SW fast. Also, I found it better to leave the deinterlace option unchecked.
now, I just use this as my phone's go to "vlc player"

ICS 4.0 incredible S ---video in green screen

Hello,just want to ask is anybody know why my screen turned to render green while playing any video file?
Sent from my Incredible S using xda premium

What Player are you using? Assuming it's something naff like the default one, i would recommend using a better one from the Market. Try vplayer, moboplayer... or any of the other decent ones.

Did it do the same when on Gingerbread?
If not, I'd reccomend an alternative player as Dirk suggested

Thanks for replying..i'll try other player on market 1st..just want confirmation is anyone using this ROM in incredible s exprienced the same problem?

Maybe Your roms hw codecs are messed up, but you have let developers to fix it, but you can use mx video player to watch videos on your phone but it doesn't work with online videos, with mx when you start to play video, right top on your screen there should be box with hw, sw or sw fast reading in it if it says hw, press the box and change it to sw or sw fast

HD Videos on P3110

Hi,
When I try to play HD Videos or streams it will mostly be shown in slowmotion and jerking (audio is normal),
sometimes it works normal.
Has anybody an idea on what the videoplayback depends or what configuration can be set to make this
contantly working.
I run CM10.1, AOKP Kernel, 1,2 Mhz, interactive gov, cfq shed
Regards
Michael

What player are u using? I had an issue where I was having trouble playing any videos...they would be basically like watching a series of all photos...I switched the setting from h/w to s/w decoding and that took care of it

Hi,
MX Player, maybe thats a hint, I remember, that I put it in the settings to h/w.
Actually I am installing CM again and I will try it when its all installed. Thanks so far.
