it doesnt offer Xvid or DivX support....but can u watch 700 MB downloaded movie files on it?
It all depends on the file format of the video you're trying to watch. To my knowledge, Mediascape is really only capable of opening H.264 formatted videos. So if you DL a movie in that format, sure it cane play it. Otherwise you need third-party software like yxFlash to play other formats of video, or you need to convert the videos to H.264 format using software like Handbrake.
As for ability to playback: I have ripped my Avatar DVD to H.264 at full DVD video size (720x464) and the 900+MB file has no problem playing beautifully.
Depends in what format are movies. Device can't play Divx an Xvid movies (playing is jerky). And there is no player capable of playing divx/xvid movies. But device can play mp4 movies and I can say that picture is great. I also have Avatar, but in 800*480 resolution. You must see that picture

I know coreplayer can play h.264 vids (mkv format) but when i downloaded an anime that was h.264 (mkv 1280x720) it says it can't play.. im guessing its the 1280x720 as coreplayer has a limit.... i could be wrong but anyone have alternative way of playing these files .. or people downloading anime fansubs that are similar to what i mentioned..

I can't play anime, it's the codecs and formats used to compress the videos, Coreplayer doesn't like them. You could always reconvert them?
There's no Windows Mobile phone capable of 720p decoding and it won't be until WP7 arrives. It's not a hardware problem but software (its old and outdated kernel can't see the neon vfp)
You can play 720p mkv h264 if you give Android a try paired with a good player like RockPlayer.
Anyway you can read more related info if you search in this forum.

Hey everyone,
I've been trying out all the different apps that claim to be able to play an impressive array of video formats, but none of them can play a simple avi video file (even though it says avi support/playback in the app descriptions).
So, my question for you is, have any of you discovered a way to watch avi files, or any other video formats on the legend without flat out converting it to a playable format? (ex wmv, 3gp, mpeg are the ones supported i believe). Post your comments/thoughts/experiences!
Thanks for reading,
Michael
yxplayer or something like that, and rock player are doing just fine for me...
Vplayer is good

Just for the record, note that AVI is not a video format but a video container.
An AVI video can be encoded in MPEG4, WMV and so on, so even all the players claims they can play AVI videos, that doesn't meant they can play all the formats found in AVI files.
FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_Video_Interleave
And: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_container_formats
Never the less it's not the format that is not supported by the Android core, it's the container...
That's why AVI video will consume much more computing power, the program just has to calculate those frames "manually"...
hi, just wanted to share my experience on finding a worjing solution for my movie playing needs:
- my phone is a galaxy S and i expected tegra2 to outperform it in every way, movie-wise, that's not the case.
- normally i use mvideoplayer but since it relies 100% on native decoding, it wont open most of my files, avi, mkv, etc
- i installed vplayer, rockplayer (normal and optimized), qqplayer, moboplayer, besides the bundled nemoplayer and none was able to correctly decode a 720p mkv (1.5gb game of thrones episode). a couple were able to play it with sound, but they all lagged too much.
- for SD XviD rockplayer worked fine but it doesnt support subtitles, qqplayer displayed subtitles but it dropped frames. moboplayer + armv7vfp3 codec decoded the avi correctly and with subtitles.
- 720p youtube "rips" from tubemate worked fine on mvideoplayer, they use mp4 container and most likely base or main profile.
so... for tv shows from torrent, use avi and moboplayer. for hd content, hopefully they'll be 720p and main profile.
anyone knows what kind of file are the "BRRip" flying around on the net?
cheers.

I had an identical problem: I was also dismayed at not being able to watch a Game of Thrones MKV file!
I gave up on MKV and tried watching a 720p AVI (BRrip in Xvid/AC3) on moboplayer, and it worked flawlessly--even got the subtitles file to work. It's a huge pain in the ass, but converting to xvid/AVI might be the best bet. I'm going to do it remotely on my home PC while I'm at work
yeah, MKV files not working properly or at all is a bit of a bugger, but now i've been converting them into high def (720p) mp4's using some custom settings for Handbrake that i found either here or another forum (can't remember which, lol), works a treat and looks great on the A500!
i looked around for 720p avi files, i didnt think they would look so good.
i still saw some dropped frames but that could have been because i was using CIFS to acces the 2tb hdd on my htpc.
but i still wonder the mp4 BRRips, there's something weird with those filesm even the galaxy S refused to play some of them...
anyway, in short, if available prefer 720p avi...

How did you get the subtitles to work? Did you use .sub or .srt subtitles? And witch program to convert?
I have found that if you use rockplayer in hardware mode and your videos are x/h264 video and AAC audio the results are very acceptable playback
@Ramius71: no conversion, just an SD .avi file with .srt subtitles
the .avi was a 174mb tv episode and the .srt downloaded from opensubtitles
@Yatyas: could you give an example please? .mkv or .mp4? i have several .mp4 that play well but most are ripped from youtube or things like that...
downloaded HD movies and TV episodes don't work for me, even in rockplayer...
has anyone tried VLC on the Iconia yet?

I have found that as long as it is encoded with x.264 or h.264 on the video and AAC on the audio regardless of the wrapper .mkv or .mp4 I get very good performance from the hardware decoding when using Rockplayer.
I have found many .mp4 and x264 files that have AC3 for the audio and I re-encode using handbrake changing just the audio to AAC and everything seems to work well
Hey I have tried just about every video app I could find. I am having trouble watching 720p mkv's. I have tried rockplayer full and lite, vplayer, mobo, qqplayer, etc
They all do the same thing, sure they play, but it is pixelated and laggy and out of sync. How can I watch it perfectly? Even if I have to turn it into an avi. What do I do?

It seems like most of those (for a full length movie) would be over the file size limit for the filesystem. I just convert my MKVs using Handbrake.
All my movies are mkv. Great picture and small file size. I Use rockplayer lite. It works perfectly for me.
maybe your SD card can't be read fast enough?
also, why watch a 720p movie on a 480p screen? I only put dvd rips and 480p copies on my phone...
Try diceplayer ( there are 3day trial on Market )
+ Patched libomxvdec.so file.

I can play 720p H.264 High 3.1 + DTS/AC3/Flac MKV on N-1.
yea, I use handbrake and convert to something smaller for the smaller screen. Unless OP wants to output via HDMI.... but there are better products for that.
yxplayer2, it's a paid app, but I haven't found anything it couldn't play, including divx
Can I do a modification to enable it after it's rooted?
I tried to play .wmv files with floor model but I have no luck.
I have a lot of ripped DVDs in .mp4 (480p) format, but I also have several .wmv files downloaded. The size will drastically increase if I re-encode to .mp4 without degrading quality.
i think its in /etc/media_profiles.xml in bottom of file, change to "yes" and save back.
remember to have system r/w
MKV
You can attempt to convert the files to MKV.
The system by default does not play back this file source but there is a player called Mobo Player available on the market.
I have done a few mp4 720p conversions to mkv 720p and I am pleased to say they worked while not being to to big (average size is 1-2gigs per 1.5hrs)
I have read reports that Diceplayer handles mkv files. You might want to give that a try.
