My first thread, hopefully in the right area of this amaz forum.
I've been testing various ICS roms on my P500, but all of them share the well-known issue of missing preview thumbnails and playing mp4 videos in gallery apk (so you have to download MX Player and so on)..
As workaround, I though to edit the /etc/media_profiles.xml to try to force the camcorder to record vids in 3gp, yet, no luck in doing this, I am sure I am missing something, because it keeps recording mp4 instead of 3gp.
Any hint? Thank you.

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...

Hi
How to change video recording format? I have only 3gp. Is there any way to change it on mp4??
not with the stock app at least...look around the market or the themes and apps thread for different cam apps
I haven't found any

or mobile converter??
Those are all great ideas and im not sure why nobody has seemed to try to make an app for recording in mp4..
Our phones DO record in .MP4 format already. 3GP is just a file container. If you would really like to change the format from .3gp to .MP4 you can most likely do it with perm-root/ S Off and / or possibly with another camera app.
Don't get too worked up though because you are already recording in .MP4.
Hope this helps DAWGS.
I couldn't find a video player that would work with cyanogen mod 9 ics rom because lack of hardware acceleration i found that MX video player (free) does work perfectly on my p1000 galaxy tab when set to software decoding though just thought i would let everyone know because i was trying multiple things to get it to work. I have only tried this with .3gp video though. My ics rom does everything I need it to now, hope this helps .

If you look in the description of the video you posted its using mx video player thats why its working because currently there is no hardware acceleration.
I still get like a tear looking thing on the upper right part of the screen.How to fix that?

When I posted this It was working with software decoder only, you are using a slimdizzy rom a nightly build I was using "CM9 (WIP)" at the time. Now hardware acceleration works fine anyways on Milestone 4 rom.
Update MoboPlayer works better than Mx Video Player
I have found out MoboPlayer is a better solution for a video player. Mx Video Player seems to have some glitches with video playback. I am using build #28 AOKP ICS rom with MoboPlayer and am very pleased with MoboPlayer it works perfect with no choppy playback at all.

Thanks , I will definitely try this might fix the issue i have with game loft nova game also.
On CM9 + latest humberos kernel I still get video lag for mp4 1080p videos using MX player. Mobo player works like a charm though.
I watch alot movies on my phone and when a movie is .avi format no matter how big (1,2gb) is playing with no problem, BUT when its .mp4 on the stock and some other players says, sorry this video can not be played, and on some players like mobo or mx (the ones with codecs) plays but with lag (the picture is like a slow motion)?
Its funny cos the videos that are recorded with the phone are .mp4 and are played very well...

Im on Kirillos now, but its the same on all ive tried. Also its the same on the stock rom.
Maybe someone could download a .mp4 movie and see if it lags also.. ?

Most likely your mp4 file has H264 video with a profile above what this device supports in hardware... For that reason i would like a dump of the technical details of the file. On windows if you use MPC-HC there is a properties windows with a mediainfo tab.
AVI or MP4 are only the container format that encompasses varius audio, video, subtitles tracks. The video codec inside the track is what matters. Most AVI files contain one track of video and one track of audio, but the codecs usually are XVID and MP3. In the case of MP4 files the codecs are H264 and AAC. But H264 has a enormous range of profiles and levels that increase the CPU power needed for a given bitrate.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Profiles
IIRC, this device only supports H264 baseline profile in its hardware decoder, so if your file has a higher profile using MXplayer it will decode in software.
Hello fellow GNOTE 10.1 users,
Idk if anyone else tried it but when I try to play some soft subbed 720p videos (mostly anime videos with eng subtitles) the stock media player could only play audio and the best I can have some laggy playback using BsPlayer free. So, does anyone know a way to solve this problem? Is it a much broader problem in Android devices in general that has not been soIved yet or does some certain magical codec pack do the trick?

Try mx player and install codecs for arm v7
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Nope, it is laggy as hell, the video and the audio go out of sync awfully frequently. By the way, I have tried many 1080p movies and they worked seamlessly before, so my unit is definitely not at fault here. Any other suggestions?

Try both hw/sw /hw + acceleration. If it doesn't work. Then the last chance is in dice player those are the best 3 players in market, but don't worry it is definitely not the device's problem it is software issue
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app
Tried both. in hw it does not even show the video and in sw the problems I've pointed out persists. I've tried many different players before -dice as well and it was BsPlayer which gave the best performance. Though as I said, it is also laggy.
Thanks for your time and suggestions.
Yeah, I have the same problem. Looks like I will have to extract all the subs....no other player worked....
Edit: I tried another animes from other sub groups and some of them are working, like from gg and gotspeed, no luck with coomie and utw though, I gotta look at it, maybe theres problem with the format of the subs.
Guys, after the long struggle, I found the remedy! Just install archos video player and its codec pack and that's it. 10-bit video playback problem is gone forever.
