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?

Video converter?

What video converter should I use so that I can convert my HD MKV movies, to a compatible format that I can play on my HTC sensation.
I have a mp4 video and I tried playing it on Dice Player but it says that the license is not valid whenever I try playing the video.
Either way, I prefer to convert the video to a compatible format because then I can have a smaller size file, and still high quality.
I want to be able to chose the bitrate on video and audio. ?not just that, but I want to be able to choose the qHD resolution.

Do not use cracked version.
Buy Diceplayer.
your diceplayer is cracked or not verified from Google license program.
If you are paid user, contact [email protected]

I use mkv file converter. You convert to avi, divx,mpeg4,h.264, you name it. Search key word"mkv converter" on google & you'll get ton's of hits.

well bro if u have a cuda enabled nvidia card and want a free all purpose converter for all devices u can ever have including blu-ray..... simple hv freemake video converter from http://freemake.com/....i encode 1.5 gb file with nvidia for sensation in under 8 mins...that too at 1920*1080 h.264 6mb bitrate..... absolute sweet
Copy this attached short sample http://dl.dropbox.com/u/32412858/unstoppable5.mp4 on fone run and c the absolute quality...its full hd..and in under 7 sec to convert.....afterwards tell me was my suggestion worth it.....

Never let me down with any video I've tried playing. Download off site not market, I havent tried on sensation yet but have used it on all my other android devices. Its hardware accelerated so should do some damage if it runs on sensation.

720p mkv playback on g2x

Hey guys
I could swear I had this solved, but most recently its come to my attention
that whatever I may have thought, I actually don't have a reliable way of playing back 720p mkvs on my phone without streaming/transcoding/converting.
Plex has come a long way and works excellently, but I really want to do native playback. Has anyone done a thorough survey of players? If not I will try to do one and write back with my results.
EDIT: I should say that, I actually want to play 720p mkv's off a network share. But let's say the first goal is native 720p mkv playback, and the second goal is to do it over a share.

Have you tried MX video player from the market? It had played every video file i have thrown at it.

I don't know what the res of the video was but I know is was a HQ mkv and MX played it perfectly. I've also thrown .VOB's at it. I think I will go home and toss a .ts at it just to see what it will do.

What is the best solution to play MKV's that are larger than 4gb on the G2x? Most of mine are and the 4gb fat32 file size limit on the SD card get's in the way. Can android read an NTFS formatted card? Or can someone recommend a free Windows utility to downsize an MKV to less than 4gb? Thanks.

[Q] Best video format for HTC Sensation XE

Hi
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did do a quick search and never found an obvious thread... As I said, it was a quick search
I am planning to convert a few movies/tv shows to play on my Sensation XE, any ideas what would be the best settings/format? Or is it a matter of testing various formats?
Thanx in advance for any help given.

I think Android plays MP4 as a native format so that's probably a good choice.

Cheers mate.
Converted a 75 min movie to MP4 480x320 and its approx half a gig... Video is clear but doesn't fully fit the screen until i press the fill screen option then it slightly pixelates, but not noticeable at all.
Will continue to play with settings to achieve HD quality at a reasonable file size.

This. I personally use MX Video Player. It can play my xvids painlessly

I used to just throw in full sized 1080p mkv files into my sdcard
then i decided to throw in a full movie 1080p mkv file which is approximately 10gb and windows tells me that fat32 cant fit files over 4gb
d'oh!
using mx player btw

Cheers guys, I d/l'ed MX and it works a treat.

Just in case you have a tv card in your pc, or a cheap 'no-name' tv that has a PVR function, MX Player can play MP2 (including TS transport stream) files easily too, without any conversion needed. As well as a tv card in my pc I have a cheapo Digitrex TV from Currys that records to a usb stick which doesn't encrypt/copy protect the files. As soon as funds permit I'll be buying a NAS storage device so I can record programmes directly to that instead of the usb stick, then stream them wirelessy to my phone, or copy the files wirelessly to my storage card using ES File Explorer for viewing later when out and about.
To return to your original question, if you are converting from a DVD or high bitrate source, encoding either with MP4 using the FFMPEG mp4 encoder, or MP4 using X264 encoder (H264) works well. I use the latter format now at a resolution of 720 x 'x' pixels at a bit rate of around 1500kbps. I set audio at 44khz, stereo, 128kbps. I use Handbrake (free, lots of options, still don't fully understand everything). The downside is this will make films over a gigabyte in size, but they look great on the phone and reasonable on a tv (depends what you're used to of course) if you chose to connect it via DLNA or an MHL adapter. One word of warning, our Sensation struggles to play films smoothly via MHL adapter to a tv - for some reason it introduces micro stutters every few seconds (something to do with the audio I think as a film encoded with no sound at all plays very smoothly). Dice Player Free eases this problem somewhat compared to the default movie player or MX Player, but doesn't get rid of it completely.

Thanx Ouzo, thats the answer i was looking for!

A player to play ".mkv" files?

Hey guys, As the topic says I've been looking for a .mkv player which runs the videos smooth and perfect on our GFit!...I've tried using MX VIDEO PLAYER & QQ PLAYER but the quality was not good and the video lags!...Can anyone provide a better option?Actually its a 349 MB File of Twilight - Breaking Dawn Part-I, and I love all the movies of the Twilight sequel! ...So any help would be appreciated!

Mkv...
Even I wanna know...want to watch "The Dirty Picture" :O

Hi, i too have been confronted to these .mkv files. Been told that they would be normal video format files but embedded with subtitles. Annyway, use VLC Media Player if on pc, and MX Player for Android. I loaded the standard "mx player" on Google Play. Should you face any issues, look up for the available codecs (aimed for diff. specific processors architecture) and take the one for your device. Got an ARMv7 and i didnt have to load the codecs up to now. Hope this help and didnt annoyed, kinda noticed the lenght of my thread just now...
