it will play avi files encoded with h.264, not with divx/xvid. you will need to convert them.
there are a hundred threads on this. please search.

Hi just wondering if anyone know what is the max size video file the SGS can play?
Tried playing a 1.6gb 1280x720 wmv but when i went to play it it said not supported.
Thx
Probably the specific codec used in that file. 720p files aren't a problem for it to play.
(Supported: DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264, WMV, VC-1
format: 3gp(mp4), AVI(divx), MKV, FLV, H.263Sorenson)
Not so much the size but the codec yeah... Even with wmv's of 150mb or so I often get messages that they aren't supported.
You might want to try RockPlayer, it has played everything I've thrown at it so far...
Played 2.2GB 1280X720MKV.
The file size limit is FAT32 limit, 4GB. If android reads NTFS (didn't check yet), then there isn't any file size limit.

Yeah, seems to be... look it up in the market (You'll need the ARMv7 for the galaxy s)
Anyone tried playing a 720p video they've recorded on their galaxy in rock player? When I've tried it, its been shocking, like watching slow motion. Plays perfectly in the standard video player.
I just copied "Green Zone DVDRip XviD-DiAMOND" sample over to my sdcard, and it plays perfectly

typically xvid is avi, h.264/avc is mkv format, but mkv is just a container and can contain any video codec

this phone has played every combination of movie i have on my computer. the only thing rockplayer plays that the stock video player doesnt is real media video. I'm selling my 32gb walkman soon lol
my phone doesn't play some mkv's because their audio codec is not supported
I played some Community which is a tv show in avi played fine
Played 300 which is a 480rip in avi played fine
Played Repomen 720rip in avi played fine
All are Divx encoded
Both 300 and RepoMen are both 5.1 and they played fine
I couldn't ask for anything more at this current time.
Mkv with h264 and sac audio didn't play but mp4 with same plays fine . Has anybody seen this?
MKV files
What is the best combination... I use mkv files...I convert my dvd's to just under 2 gig mkv's...They play fine on rockplayer but says its sorry that the file can't be play...
I download an hd mkv off the net and it plays perfectly...any sugestions. btw I use handbrake. Is there a specific bitrate I should use?
what video types are supported on the n1?
if needed, if tehre some converter to "convert" the files on comp to what can be used on the n1?
Natively, mp4. Can be encoded using Handbrake.
If you download Rock Player though, it can play just about any file type.
Yeah, defaultly only mp4 is supported, but with rockplayer you can play any logical video type.
mp4 only eh? hmm
i tried copying over avi, mkv, mp4, and rmvb. i got rockplayer too (was just lookin around market adn that was the first thing that popped up that sounded nice). everything by the rmvb was choppy. they all play find on the computer.
both the mkv and mp4 are 720p. the avi was 640x272. not sure what size the rmvb was. imma try recoding them with that one program mentioned above and trying again

be sure you have the right version of rockplayer running, their were three variants. Also, something that has a 720p resolution might be too strenuous for the nexus to handle, remember the nexus can only play up to a 480p resolution, it can play 720p but it wont benefit any vs a 480p version of the same clip.
Ohhh nice to know. Was playing 720. Will try 480

hai, everybody
i just had the sgs for over 2 weeks. i really love this phone and its stunning display.
well, this could play the .mp4 and .mkv but there was no sound.
i don't why this is happening, as it could play rest of the formats like .avi with sound.
I didn't flash this phone. it has JF3
could anyone please help me

I have the same issue. I think the video needs to be converted through kies. I am trying it now.
well what's the point in converting the video?? when it was said it could play mkv & mp4
Well is there no solution for this?

Its prob due to mkv being encoded wrong. Mkv are just video containers the combination for it is big so sgs might not be able to play itif it uses some strange ass codec. Go complain to samsung

just google mediainfo download and open file with it. It will tell you what audio codex is being used not all mkv files are the same. Check out a website called afterdawn it has a lot of info on different file types and converting them.

no phone AFAIK plays DTS audio. Check your audio codec.
For MKVs you can use mkvextract to extract what's in the container then convert the audio into MP3 or AAC and then use YAMB to recombine them as an MP4. Works a treat for me.
I might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere about audio not being playable if it's encoded as anything other than stereo (5.1 etc).
Just might be the reason for specific .mkv files having issues.
You are dead right, Also MKV's are known to have more then one audio track so thats also another problem.
So, are there any videos which are being played in your sgs?
If you can give me some links of those I would be happy

I have some 720p MKV videos with H264 video AAC audio that I wanted to load onto my Xoom, so far I haven't been able to get it playing smoothly at 720p with mp4 H264 and AAC audio but Mpeg4 seems a little blocky.
Does anyone have any suggestions on FormatFactory (or some other mass conversion tools) settings I can use that gives me the best video quality at a good frame rate?
from how i understand it the Tegra 2 has issues playing high profile H.264, i had a notion ink adam for a week and it was the same thing on this as well.
when i get my wifi xoom ill test it but i expect the same results.
I loved my zoom but I think that's one of the most unacceptable situation for zoom. good amount of people bought zoom is for video play back. at the least, if you should be able to play anything you throw at it. I hate apple but that's one I cannot trash the ipad

In Windows 7 it tells me with a lot of file extensions that they are not compatible but I ignore the message and copy them anyways. Then they play nicely on the Xoom. I've used .m4v, .mp4, .mkv, .avi.... just ignore the error message and copy the files. Then use Rock Player Lite to play.
i don't know about the format factory, i download a free version of a xoom video tool, it recommend the h.264 mp4, size: 1280*752, frame rate:30fps, bitrate:1500
The above parameters are just for your reference, sometimes, video playback quality also is based on your xoom player.
whats the name of the tool?
what is the name of the tool / free xoom conversion software you used?

In the first place, i help u find the formats that xoom support.
Audio Playback Supports: MP3, AAC, ACC+Enhanced, OGG, MIDI, AMR NB, AAC
Video Playback Supports: MPEG-4， H.264，H.263
u need to convert your mkv to mp4. i use Fox Real Xoom video converter and set the parameter is mp4, h.264, 1280*752, 1500kbps, 30fps, and i can get full screen on the xoom.
so i suggest u also set on Formatfactory according to the parameters. hopefully it can help u!

i used a free version of a tool which named xoom video converter, but there is a logo "foxreal" in the centre of the screen. at last, i took about $23 to buy a official version, now everything is ok.
