without knowing the codec of the other video I can't help you, .avi doesnt't tell me anything, that's just the container, download mediainfo and paste the info it gives you from the video file
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
give it a try using rockplayer, it should be able to play anything that the stock player can't.

Rockplayer in the market.
Use handbrake to convert to mpeg4 or h264 and theres a great thread in here on how to do this.

Dude, make your life simple, go to the market and download Rock player. It is open source and it is based on ffmpeg. It can play virtually everything. I am currently playing Mkv files on my Vibrant. ;-P

what format are you guys watching your movies in for best and highest quality and what are you guys using to convert.
Personally, I don't convert anything.
All of the video files on my PC are avi's and Vplayer plays them without a hitch.

Hi guys, I have some questions about DLNA on GalaxyS.
I have the device that you can find in my signature.
I use the DLNA withTv-out to see films on my 37'' FullHd Tv, but I noticed some problems, hope that you can help me to solve them.
The player does not open MKV files.
The player does not keep the aspect ratio of the films. 16:9 videos have no problems, but the 2.39.1 (2.40) movies are distorted
If these problems can't be solved with the standard player (there aren't aspect ratio options, instead the classic video player of the SGS) there are better players that can replace the standard one?
Thanks
I think these are the very annoying limitations of dlna. You have to use avi afaik, i'm not sure about mp4 though.

Uhm, i don't understand what is "avi afaik". Should i convert the mkv films?
afaik - as far as I know
avi is container for audio video, like mkv

Aaaah sorry
DLNA supports all kind of codecs under avi (divx, mpeg4, etc) but not MKV.
I think that there is no solution about this problem

Actually I think it is a limitation of the tv set. Because the other day I went to bestbuy infront of the television section. Fired up dlna and found tons of tv sets there to use it with.
Long story short I had a 720 mkv video of tottenham vs real madrid and was able to play it on a LG tv. As a matter of fact everything was able to play on the lg tv. But on samsung only avi's was allowed to play video.
I'm unable to play videos, I have added realplayer but doesn't work. My HTC Inspire 4g with realplayer will play videos fine but my Transformer won't. Any ideas?
all depends on which type of videos you're trying to play i suppose.... moboplayer (free on market) plays anything i throw at it.
It was just an avi file.
right, but an AVI is just a container... could be one of a large number of different codecs.
try moboplayer and see if that video will play.

Will do! Thanks!
RockPlayer also does a good job if MoboPlayer is not to your liking...
Moboplayer is awesome it works!

Guys this thing is intriguing me, i cant natively play divx avi files? My LG 2X does it, how come my tablet with an huge screen don't?
I managed to get it software rendered with VitalPlayer but damn!

Install Rockplayer
Another thing you could do which some people have tried is to change the file extension to mp4, which will play with the native player. I think DivX is just a 'container' format which contains MP4 video so it should work in theory, although I haven't tried this on my TF myself.

Tried that, wirh this video specifically it plays the first 3 seconds insanely fast and with no audio and then finally stops playing.

plenty of players out there for DIVX/XVID. I think some manufacturers just bundle extra players or codecs. i dont think support is in 'native' Android.

+1 Rockplayer. They just had a release solving Android 3.1 registration issues, works like a champ!
I'd go with MoboPlayer.
Interesting to know as am planning on picking up a Transformer and wanted to know this myself.

+1 for MoboPlayer, I've found it to be a bit smoother than RockPlayer in my experience. That's just me talking however...
thanks guys... yes moboplayer and rockplayer seem to do the job!

Yea mobo comes with a codec addon.FLV.,AVI,MP4.
Can anyone test an divx 1080p video? Being software rendered I'm kinda not much confident, i feel it as a workaround rather than a solution...

1080p video encoded using the DivX (or XviD) codec is really inefficient. It's going to be a lot larger file size or of lower quality than a more modern codec like h.264. If you'd like to play 1080p video on your transformer, you'd be best to transcode your video to an h.264 video stream. Not only will the file size be much smaller, but it will play back using hardware acceleration which is much more likely to be smooth than software rendered DivX.
Rockplayer, Moboplayer, etc are all the same thing. They're just containers for ffmpeg--which is the best free software decoder available. Pick the one that has the best interface and is free. Paying for any of these is actually against the law, and while you're not going to get in any trouble, it's stupid to pay for something that should be free.

ive treid 4 different media players and cant find one that will play my movies,ive converted avi-mp4 and back again with still no luck anyone else have this problem,if so did you solve it,love this tablet apart from this problem
Last night I tried an .avi file just for the hell of it, and it didn't work. Was quite surprised actually, but I've yet to try other file types.
Mine play fine. Usedjust about every format. Need to download a good media player that will work with them.
I use vplayer. There are others out there as well.

I can vouch for VPlayer. It has played just about everything I've thrown at it.

i use MX Player to play AVI files. it'll play some MKV files too.
but for MP4 and M4V files, the standard Google Play Movies app plays these for me.

Very strange I know. Because my ancient Galaxy S plays most things without the need for 3rd party software.
For future reference you should likely list the apps you tried and as much about the video as you can. Is one of the 4 you tried MXPlayer?
