I open up MyShare and i can see my nas storage where i have my backup dvds stored. For each movie, it has the videots and audio folder.
My question is, how can i play this on my tf-700?
Please advise and thank you.

I don't think you can play dvd files directly, you need to convert them to avi, mpg etc.. for streaming.

VLC on the PC can play DVD files, maybe the Android version can too.

do you know where i can get it from?
one tip...
you can use google to find something...
http://betaplayer.corecodec.org/
or.... you can try converting your .avi files (and other video format) to .wmv files using the windows xp movie maker. then just transfer the converted file to your xda2 and u should have no problem playing it.
hope this helps!
thank you all for responding.
The BetaPlayer suggestion was best.
Now I have found a encoder and also a very good player to both convert my movies and also view them on the XDA II.
Pocket DivX Encoder & Betaplayer did the trick.
Thank you very much.
This rocks! Thanks Guys!
In under 10 minutes, ive encoded the latest episode of Battlestar Galactica and Im now sitting here at my desk watching it on my MDA3.
You da men!
does anyone know of any apps/plugins which allow me to stream divx/xvid/mkv files from a media server? the built in video player finds the files but wont play the codec's. either a dedicated app or if possible a codec pack would do the trick.
cheers.

I'm converting blurays to video files 1080p for my TF using catalyst and anydvd. Which video format allows embedment of subtitles but also allows me to turn it on and off when I watch? I know with mp4, once the subtitles are embedded, you are stuck seeing it forever. Any advice would be appreciated.
Try MKV. You can insert several subtitles. If you have a decent player, you should be able to play it with or without subs.

How do I change video format in catalyst? The default is mp4. I'm sorry for being so noob. Tired and can't seem to find the option.
Get mkvtoolnix.
Since mkv is a container you can insert audio/video/subs to them despite the audio/video/sub format.

I really appreciate your help. I really do. But I'd rather just use it straight from catalyst. Remember that I'll be doing my entire bluray collection. I don't want to manually add in subtitles each time. All I want is to find the correct settings and then insert and press go everytime.

Please enlighten me about catalyst, since I don't use it...
I suppose you can drag your files and make the program convert all of them to a specific format. If the program is able to extract the subs from the blueray, I would suggest to make it save them separate from the video (if possible). For example, having Superman.avi and Superman.srt, this way you don't embed the subs in the movie and you should be able to turn them on/off in your player.
Aside from that, .mp4 supports embed dubs, so it should be possible also to do it that way.
You might want to take a look at handbrake; I don't have much experience with subtitles but remember seeing settings.

MPEG-4 Part 14/MP4 is also a container format. The difference is in Matroska/MKV are probably less limited in what you can shove in it.

I have some avi movies in my dropbox folder.
Is there any way I can play them on my hos directly from dropbox?

I think there is a way but im not sure it will work.
Download Bs-player from the play store. once its downloaded go on dropbox and click the avi video you want to play, it will ask you what player you want to play it on. select bs player and it should work.

I've tried many players which claim to play avi but none are able to open avi files directly from my dropbox despite being prompted as to which program I would like to open them with.
I am able to play these files in the same way on my nexus 7 seemlessly.
Any ideas anybody?
Hello.
I tried to look this up but I cannot find an answer. This is my problem:
I do not have a dock. I connect USB to my PC. I try to copy an avi file to the tabled SD. I get a warning that the avi file will not play once copied.... and yes, it does not play.
I share a folder on my PC and I connect using the same program (Archos) on the tablet to the share. The same avi file plays no problem over wifi. I try to copy over wifi from PC to tablet, same problem.
I tried both the SD and the internal memory.
I took the SD out and used it with a data writer on the PC.
One time, a few months ago, but I do not remember what I did, I was successful. Those 3 movies are on the SD card and they play, so it should not be the SD card.
If anybody has any idea, I would much appreciate. Thank you.
I've played avi videos with BSplayer free without any issues. I also use AirDroid to transfer files from my computer to my tablet.
I'm it familiar with the software you are using but perhaps it's time to try something different

I am sure that the tf700 can handle avi files easily. Have you tried the following players (available for free on Google Play Store): Dice Player, MX Player, BS Player? All of these video players can handle almost anything.

Thanks for responding. Considering that I can play anything with the same player, on the tablet, from a share on the PC, I think the player has nothing to do with it. Also, the message that it will not play is given by Windows explorer, which should not know what player I am going to use.
What are you guys using to copy the files from PC to tablet? Windows Explorer or something else?
Thank you.

I seriously believe that there is something wrong with your Windows driver for the tablet. I just simply follow a very standard procedure:
1. Connect the tablet to a PC with Windows Vista or later (which fully support MTP) using the USB cable.
2. Navigate to the tablet's internal storage using Windows Explorer and paste the videos you want to play. The warning saying that your device may not be able to play the files is really irrelevant, you can ignore it and proceed to copy. The reason for that warning is because MTP assumes that your tablet cannot play avi files, and all Android devices using MTP will have this annoying alert.
3. Use the player suggested in previous posts to play. I must disagree with you regarding the role of players, especially when certain players have better support for Tegra 3 SoCs than others, hence the need for different video players. More importantly, avi is just a container, the important thing is the codec being used (h.264, MPEG-4, etc...). For example, a h.264 high profile video at 40 Mbps in an mp4 container is unplayable on my HTC Sensation even though mp4 is officially supported by my phone.
In all seriousness, it should be as simple as that. If it still doesn't work, you should try using a different Windows machine.
I get that message for literaly everything I copy to my TF700 and my SGS3 through Windows Explorer: .avi, .jpg, .bmp, .png, .mp4, .mp3, .srt, .doc, .txt, .wmv....
I use MXplayer (primary), BSplayer(secondary) and Diceplayer(tertiary) : They all play it fine. You get that error message in Windows because Android's stock player doesn't recognise the file when it's placed in the file manager. (duh, it's incomplete during transfer). Just hit 'yes to all'.
Try playing it with another app. Frankly other videoplayers are also far more advanced than the rather crappy stock app. Those three ^ play everything.
