Back in the dark ages when I had a iPhone 3G, there was a jailbreak app that allowed me to use mp4 files as a video wallpaper. Is there anything like that for Android? Can it be done?

What method do recommend in playing movies and other videos on the Nexus One from what files to play, how to transfer them to the phone, and how to play them on the phone.
I browse my movie files on Astro file manager or the stock Gallery app. NemoPlayer browses music nicely too. However, a dedicated movie player would be nice.
I also noticed that it doesn't play all of my videos. It's probably because of the resolution.
I use the paid for version of Act1. The program from what i see only plays video. The program tells you what time it is ie. real time. it also tells you how much battery power you have left as well. When you open the program it tells you what files on the phone/SD card that can be played. What i do is make sure the video file i have is already in HD most of the time 720p or 1080p. I use WinX Video Converter to convert the file to MP4. I set the res to 800x480. The video file plays with no skipping and no problems. The picture also looks really nice as well. If i had to answer your problem about it not playing the file i would say that is before the file is not support by the N1. I believe just MP4 and H.264 are the only supported files. It plays the same thing a Iphone can play and a Itouch pretty much.
Is there anyway to play files other than mp4. Such as wmv?
Someone knows how you can watch a full screen video in the stock video player without the black bands?
Other phones (HTC Hero for example) have a button on the player to resize the video.
Thx

The default player won't do it. Act1 has a full screen option and it's a great app, as the previous poster detailed.
Thx! good player
Hello xda. I'm looking for a photo application that is similar to the photo board app that can be found for ipad. Its a multi touch table format photo viewer with resizing and cool effects. Also I'm looking for a video player that supports .avi format videos. I know there are lots, but not all work very good. Arc media doesn't with very well and vplayer is buggy. Thanks!
P.s. any other graphically cool apps that use multitouch to take advantage of the large screen? (Multi pane web browsing?)
Does anybody know of a widget available that would show the videos I have in a scroll-able stack? I think Netflix does this with the streaming movies (not positive), but I'd like to be able to browse through my video files from the launcher. I'm assuming if this widget existed it would come as part of a video player. Thanks.
Mizzu is awesome.

Looks perfect! Thanks. I browsed a bunch of video players on the Market, but never noticed that one.

In case you don't get the info you want, maybe you can convert gif to jpg.
If however you want to use an animated gif, that's another story.
I understand that live wallpapers are short vids--maybe you can transfer your gif frames to the appropriate vid format.
I noticed that there is an app on play store called Video Live Wallpaper that changes any number of video formats into a live wallpaper.
Good luck.
