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.

Guess that's what I'll do... shame, the first atrix was great for movie playback.

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"

im going to upgrade to a nexus s 4g this month, and i have 2 questions about playing videos on the phone:
from what i understand, the nexus cant shoot HD, but can it play HD videos that i load onto the phone?
is there an app that can play .avi cuz id really hate to convert my videos.
No I dont think HD video work, I forget the app but there is one to play .Avi it wasnt flawless tho
RockPlayer. AVIs are flawless, MKVs are flawless as well but there is a bug with no audio being outputted when hardware decoding MKVs. .AVIs have absolutely no problem
MoboPlayer is pretty good too
Ill havd to try rockplayer is it free? I tried a app that needed unlocking after 15 days
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Yes theres a free version available on the market. Moboplayer is reallh good too.

thanks for the info
i meant really. rockplayer is still my recommendation of choice, paid app of course (you have to get it through his website)
I Dont know it man, trying the free version on the market and it keeps freezing every time I open a 720p AVI file
my nexus s love mobo player.
720p working great with it. (subtitle support also)
This is the only app that I've found that can play just about everything. It has played mp4, avi, and and mkv. Just wanted to let everyone know about it.

Does it play rmvb? I just placed an order on 32GB Transformer, waiting for it to arrive now.
Cool, I'll check it out tonight! Thanks!

Also try Vital Player. It has played everything I've thrown at it (AVI, MKV w/ subs) with no lag and better picture quality it seems. All of the other programs QQPlayer, MVideo, etc that used to work fine on my other tablet all have a serious lag issue and the video is pixelated badly. Of course these are high quality vids (which I was told Tegra 2 tabs won't play well if at all), but Vital Player seems to prove that wrong.
I've tried vital player. Still getting lag tho. I've read it's because the android os doesn't work fully with the tegras hardware acceleration.

I tried this and Vital player and both of them stutter on 720p MKV files.
After further testing, yes it does. I wish VLC would release an app already.

I've searched around, tried QQPlayer, Kascend, Rock Player and Mobo and none of them can play the files properly. Either there is no sound or way too much lag.
Dice Player seems to be the only option out there, so since I'm a cheap bastard I want to see if there is a free alternative out there before I shell out the five bucks.
Have you tried mplayer? It's the only way to go on a linux desktop. I'd venture to say it would do well on our phones.

Have you converted the files down to the res of the screen? Also for rockplayer you should try both the software and hardware decoding options before giving up

Nah, I hate converting videos. Use to do that when I had a PS3 a few years ago. Pain in the ass.
I did.
I played around with all of the settings in every player I tried.

Tried a few and Diceplayer was the best in the end.
It supports HW acceleration and plays 720 videos really smooth.

Yup, the only that works for me. I'm just going to stop being cheap and shell out the $5.
I can't believe it's this difficult to get .mkv support. It's 2011, who uses .avi or .mpg anymore? EVERYTHING you download in high def is an .mkv Playing these files should be like being able to play an .mp3
Have you tried MX Video Player, there is a trial version available
that has ads, but I liked it so much I paid for it. I have managed
to get it to play 1080 mkv, it supports dual core decoding...

Wow, hadn't heard of .mkv. It looks good though, I need to investigate further. I guess there are many conflicting commercial aspects to it. A bit like FreeBSD/Linux in their early days vs AIX/SunOS/HPUX.....

.mkv seems to be the standard with HD videos. I don't download anything unless it's 720p+ and every uploader chooses .mkv

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Try it out, it's free and great.
I have the lorax blue ray rip. Its 720p, 3.5 gb large, .mkv file, and encoded in x256.
When i play it with rock player its all skippy and not even watchable, but it plays the audio just fine.
When i play it with the default player the video is just beautiful, no skipping at all. However no audio plays. What can i do to fix this? Other blue ray rips play just fine and the lorax i have plays fine in other computers.

Just encode it into something that plays. Mp4 on a phone will still look beautiful. I use handbrake but there free or free to try out there. Check cnet downloads.

Mx player is the best, even vlc plays a broad spectrum of formats. A HD movie in avi format wasnt playing properly in MX, which played flawlessly in vlc.

+1000 for MX Player. It is so good I paid the $5.60 for the paid version, which does nothing extra except no ads. But I felt the Korean developer deserved some money because it is such a good product.
Dice Player is the best, at least on the Xoom.

Use MX player..if u still have problems change playing mode from HW to SW (fast mode)..will work fine
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

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.
