Any one have a problem playing videos on the legend?
and What's the best format that I should use to convert for videos to play?
Thanks,
You can use rock player to play video and music, it can play almost all format.

None whatsoever. Mp4 is a pretty good format. Or mkv but u need a player that support such format. Rockplayer mentioned above is a good example.
No problems here. Usually I use Format Factory (freeware) to convert videos.
The format I use is iPhone/iPod MP4, they play fine on Android devices as well.

exist an avi player for android?
i have done a search for this and have found nothing so far..
No. So far Android can't play regular AVI files. You need to convert videos if you want to watch them on your android phone.
Here's how to do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441063
AVI is just a container to hold compressed images, if the compressed images were H264 then decoding and displaying video would be straight forward. However, most of the AVI files I have are divx which the G1 can not decode due to the lack of suitable codecs.
Actually there is a player in the marketplace called android7 avi player...it plays avi from the root of the sdcard...what it does is the first time you hit play it takes a minute while it converts to the right avi format for the player..after that you have a new playable avi
it works perfectly with now problems?
amir
does it convert everytime you try to watch that video file? or just ONCE?

User comments for that app are quite negative: http://www.cyrket.com/package/org.android7.aviplayer
when will we have a good video player for android which plays most common formats?????????
There's this "Yxflash" app from the Market which claims to play avi divx files. I tested it for myself, and it works, to an extent. Videos are extremely laggy so they're not pleasant to watch, but it does work.

I found an awesome app in marketplace called 'arcmedia'. Works a treat! I was using rockplayer...but this one is alot better.
I use ArcMedia player.. free in market. Seems to play anything. Plays AVI's that Double Twist and others wouldn't.
divx is nothing more than h.263. The hardware decoder on the device is FULLY capable of decoding these. The problem is that divx are douchebags, and instead of using the proper fourcc "h263", they replace it with one of "divx", "div3" or "div4".
If you want to play those files, you do NOT need to reencode them -- just need to FIX THE FOURCC!!! ffmpeg is capable of doing this -- the command would be "ffmpeg -i infile -acodec copy -vcodec copy -vtag H263 outfile"
** if you compile ffmpeg for armv5, your phone is plenty strong enough to handle this itself very easily!

I have used yxflash on my G1 and it works quite well. It looks like it drops some frames playing divx, but it's really not bad at all considering it was never designed to play divx encoded video.
Just a shame the battery life is getting really terrible on mine now. New battery 8 months ago and it's starting to go again. Waiting for the Desire Z now though, so not going to replace it.

rockplayer in market plays .avi
watching green hornet r5 on my nook color with Honeycomb as we speak.
Try QQ Movie player. It works for both my mp4 videos (with some considerate lag on my G1) and 3gp/avi/etc files.
Though Android is developed by the Open Handset Alliance, this smartphone platform only supports H.263, H.264 AVC, MPEG-4 SP and VP8 video format. Hence it is impossible to play AVI on Android phones.
in order to play avi, you can first convert it to android compatible video format
I have HTC Desire HD and not play the video files.
Please help.
Hi,
What format are these video files? Encoding, resolution, etc...
Have you tried re-encoding them with Handbrake?
The default player will play .avi video files which are mp3 encoded.

hi,
Download this tool:
http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/
It is imo the best video converter available, and its free.
Simply select from the side 'MPEG4 ASP (Xvid)' for video, and AAC for audio. And for format select MP4. The reason why these are the best settings for the Desire HD is that these codecs are supported at the hardware level.
Ok after you're done selecting the formats, the important thing is when you click save, you must write .mp4 at the end of the filename. Without this then the file will have no extension.
You should get the app Rockplayer from the market to play your vids. Its great because it has a hardware playback mode and will play any file you converted, VERY smoothly as long as you chose the settings i described above. I was stunned when i watched a trailer from Gran Tursimo 5 that i converted.
Anyway hope this helps.
Format is 480p BRRip Xvid AC3-FLAWL3SS.avi.
Before I have the Galaxy S and watched moves with mVideo Player, so as I got my HTC installed the same player, but it could not run a movies. I started to install different app palayers and managed to let them in VPlayer beta.
Hi,
I use RockPlayer, you can play Divx, Avi, Mp4... no need change the format I have a full version from 1.5.1 Mod edit: warez url removed from my Megaupload Account

Have you tried moboplayer from the marketplace, I've found that whatever media file I throw at it it plays fine.

mp4 video playback
I use Rockplayer, it seems to play everything I have tried.
Try MoboPlayer and don´t forget to download the Codecs too.
This should be enough to play it.
I use Vplayer for all formats
http://de.androlib.com/android.application.abitno-vplayer-qzzzE.aspx
I thought that the Vega could only play 720 vids?
Going to finally get around to putting some videos on my tab. I just wondered what format was best? Do you guys use the stock video player? Probably will mostly be anime stuff and am planning on just converting with Sony Vegas.
Any help would be great!
the best format for the tab seems to be mp4, but I play 720p mkv files fine too, including over wireless. The stock video player won't cut it so you should get a better player. There's plenty on the android market, mx player and mobo player are free, dice player is not. I use mx and it works fine.
I haven't yet found a format that BSPlayer won't play fantastically Plus it's free, so there's no reason not to IMHO...just remember it'll ask you to install a plugin first time round - install whichever one it asks you too, that'll improve performance as it will use hardware decoding
Change your video format to mp4 with a xivd or dvix code, you will find it so cool in this tab. This format support 1080p video.
This tab is weak with h.264 code.
Thanks to all you guys got it working great with Bsplayer!
Possibly a stupid question but I have some movies on my computer I might load one of two at a time to watch on my Nex but it seems most won't play, at least the ones I've tried.
What format do I have to convert them to?
I've tried using Google movies and the video player built in. I'd like to have the files work in Movies.

yes i have similar issues.
The google movies app doesn't like or detect any of my mp4 or avi films, and the double twist, mx and daroon players will not play many of my avi files that played perfectly well on my htc phone using the stock movie app.... any suggestions of apps, codecs or file formats etc to use?
MX Video Player hasn't let me down in the past. Some people have also mentioned some other player that starts with a "D", but I can't recall what it is atm
I use the BS player and it plays everything I have thrown at it well.The MX player did not work well at all for me.I have movies and tv shows in several formats loaded on a flash drive and BS plays them all.
I use vplayer via usb otg from a 16gb data traveller it plays all my. avi a treat.
