Act1 video player has a full screen option... don't think you can actually zoom in on a video in stock media player.

Playing Videos = Lag

So I want some videos on my X10. I used ones I already had on my PC (MP4's) and put them on my phone. The quality is fine, some need to be made bigger as they have black areas on the sides. The problem is, there is lag. I'm talking about a second behing on music videos etc. I have tried about 4 conversion softwares now and they all produce the same results, some better than others however. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
I have used Mobiola to convert my videos and they paly well on the X10.
You need to create a special profile for screen resolution and save it.
you just need to double tap the screen to full size the video and get rid of those black borders
Forget the conversion apps and just get the divx app.. Works fine without the hassle of converting!!
Hope it helps!!

Simr, I have the exact same problem and I can't seem to fix it regardless of what conversion program I use. I've read on other forums that other phones using the snapdragon proc are having the same prob. What's weird is that not everyone seems to be having the same issue. My temp fix has been to use the Rock divx player. Divx stuff plays in sync so I convert other formats to divx. Hopefully a firmware update will fix this.

on the stock video player? how?
Guys, i have an early beta version of player, which plays .avi, .mkv and other popular formats without any conversion, just uploaded 1.4gb avi movie from my pc, and it plays flawless, ~25fps. Does someone want to try it out ?

umm, when the file is playing, i just tap the screen twice - like how you would double click the mouse on your computer to open stuff
i was also going to suggest that maybe your video files are originally laggy before you put them on your x10 but according to adamupnorth, it sounds like a different issue, very strange...

this is because android 1.6 does not support hardware acceleration in the x10 ,2.1 will bring better video playback ,it will be 720p playback

Is there a way to zoom/pinch to zoom on videos?

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there are ways to pinch to zoom on videos in players such as Vplayer or Rockplayer? I'm not talking about the default zoom functions in the player itself.. but something more customizeable?
not that i know of
but the built in zoomfunction of rockplayer is good enough i'd say (its the most left icon case u wonder where to look)

Video Full Screen? How?

Am I just missing something? When I watch a video in the native player it only lets me watch it in the native resolution and not make it full screen. Is there a way to make movies full screen with the stock movie player?
I am trying to figure out the same thing. I even tried using third party video player like rock player but no full screen in some videos. My .mp4 are fine but I can't seem to get full screen in .flv and .mkv
Rock player lite works for me, but I really would like this to work with the native player.
Before my Tab died on me I used Vital Player... and it worked perfectly...

Dropbox video streaming causes letterbox of my letterbox

When I stream a video from my Dropbox account, it causes it to letterbox the letterbox. The video literally is showing on just half the size of the screen. I can find no way to change the default player that shows the video while streaming from cloud storage. Is there any way to do it? It's pretty aggravating to watch a video that is 1/2 of the letterbox size it should be. If I watch something on the Google video player, I CAN resize the video, but I cannot launch the Google video player to stream from the cloud.
Any help?
Nobody streams video from Dropbox on their N7???

Dropbox streaming videos is a joke. You can't check your mail or answer a call and return and expect to resume. Switch back to the app, and the video starts all over again. Plus no means to reposition in stream means its a big fat FAIL
I see your points, but would still like to know how to resize the video.

What video type are you trying to stream? Does it effect other types of videos too?

.mp4's are the only type I have.

Rotating .MP4 videos to landscape/fullscreen

When playing back an MP4 file stored locally (or streamed from my network) I can only get the video to play in portrait mode (pretty small). Is there any way I can rotate the playback to landscape and have it fill the screen? I've tried the ES Media Player and the default media player but can't seem to rotate the damn thing. Transformers obviously works in landscape mode, so why won't my MP4s?
I've been searching for a simple solution to this problem but it would appear there isn't one. I haven't tried Ultimate Rotation App because I've read there were a host of other problems with it causing videos to skip and I'm not sure it would do what I need anyway. Is there a native solution, or a better media player that will play my MP4s in landscape/full screen mode?
The particular MP4 I'm testing is x264 and less than 720P.
Thanks in advance.
Mx player works great

Cheers, been a big fan of Mobo Player but that didnt work.
About the only thing other than the No Sd Card, No mini Htmi output, More memory, etc,etc, lol. The lack of native auto rotation is a Pain.
Simple solution Thanks.. Havent rooted, Yet, lol..

This is actually very simple and doesn't require downloading anything at all. From any of the main menu pages swipe down from the top right corner and tap the "auto rotate" in the center of the pull down menu and unlock it. The device makers thought that the rotate function should be locked by default on most main pages except the provided movie player.
