I'm not sure if this is posted or not but i use Xilisoft program to convert videos. What should I used to get the video full screen on my Mytouch 4g because it very tiny when i upload a video.
I have all kinds of movies on my phone that play full screen. And they are either .FLV or .AVI.
did you convert them or what? mine seem to be all tiny and not the full screen i dont know why
I just use arc media from the market to watch videos. Don't need to convert anything. It plays divx, xvid, avi, you name it. Plus it's free.

Not at all, they came that way.
No need to convert video files.
I am officaly going to say hello to all since this is my first post. I have been watching XDA for a while. I had the first G1 fully rooted with CM and enjoyed it a lot but now I just got the MTG4. I LOVE THIS THING!!! Just a small intro! (And yes I have it already rooted!)
I am also using arcMedia from the Android Market to watch movies. It works well so far. I have tried a few avi/divx files and no problem.
Another program from the Android Market is I have also tried that works is RockPlayer. Not sure which one I like best but I have both for a while and will be switching back and forth.
So you guys just transfer the movie you don't convert? If not doesn't that make the movie file bigger? But I tried just transferring the movie and using those videos players you said to dl but yet it still not full screen dont know what im doing wrong. Sorry if i keep bugging everyone with this.

The media players listed will play your files without you converting them. Your conversion has made them tiny. Just copy em to your phone as is.
There's built in support for xvid/divx if people hadn't noticed yet. Hardware decoding in the latest generation of snapdragon, yay! I just tried xvid and it played with the default media room no problem

I tried using the default media room on a movie downloaded from the internet and it wouldn't play it - ArcMedia played it just fine.
Is there a max resolution that the video needs to be in?

I didn't do anything special. Just grabbed an xvid file from eztv and it played no problem.

I did a test and moved three movies to my phone. I tested them all in the media room and only one worked. That is why I use a video player.
In each of the players I mentioned before you can change the size of the video to your screen.

Movie conversion
Hey guys I am having trouble with any player playing my converted movies. I am using the Divx Plus converter. I wonder if there are any other ones you could recommend.
dont convert the video. try using it in the orinigal format, see what happens
This phone doesn't really play very many movie files, sadly. Coming from the Vibrant, this is upsetting...
I wish something like VLC would get ported to Android.
Please post questions in Q&A section.
Is there a good video player that everyone is using? I can't play .avi videos on this. I use mplayer on my HD2 but if I install it on here the ratio is soo small. Any advice?
I'm using qqplayer.
moboplayer si ont too bad also
They are on the Market
I forgot about Plex. If you're trying to play external media on some other device, Plex will work quite nicely.
Still trying out video players. Will update you soon.
i use vplayer
I've actually been using Rock player. You can get the optimized version for Tegra 2 here:
http://rockplayer.freecoder.org/index_en.html
anyone got the hardware decoder working on any player?
I'm using Mobo. I tried Rock player, but the software decoding made the video all jumpy. Not having that problem with mobo

Try using mobo player if you want to play .avi files.

I too find this the most useful one out there. Plays almost everything.
I'm using Vitalplayer. Plays avi mpg and mp4. Thats what I have tried and I'm unsure whats in the containers but it plays it well I think. The avi-file is a 720p file and it looked good with no sync-problems. The mpg is a recording made with Mythtv with highest quality. Flawless playback.
I use Mobo by default but there are times Rock does a better job.

Just tried rockplayer. It made me happy in ways I did not believe were possible.
so after playing with a few of them I think I have settled on mobo player. Its free in the market and seems to work quiet well.
mobo rocks lol...pun intended. both update very often.
yea but is mobo or any other player playing without saving the video first? like you open a email and click preview....

it depends on browser...default browser let u view immediately asking u which video player to stream. opera will save auto. unless you press n hold the link to save it on the default browser.
Because i've tried via rockplayer, but it lagged so much and there was no sound. Any ideas?

I think it's a bad file. I got season 11 south park all 720p .mkv files. and they play fine
do u htink the size has somein to do with it i watch really small anime encodes like 60 70 mb maybe thats why if i watch d 100 or 120 mb ones it may make a difference maybe

I hope your talking about 70mb SD encodes cause 70mb 720p would give you major eye cancer .
I dont think its the file size its probably the way the file has been encoded down to 70mb thats the problem. Since i have not had a problem playing anime i would watch on my pc.
I have just watched [Coalgirls]_Shiki_01_(1280x720_Blu-Ray_FLAC)_[5B75CA00] (430mb)(bitrate : 1600 kbps) with no problems. No lag in audio or subtitles and video was like 95% smooth, only the occasional jerk for a second when panning. Try a normal sd encode @ like 200ish mb.
I also had no problem playing The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya NCED theme (Hare Hare Yukai) SD video with karaoke soft-sub from here in the test videos part. Which is 30mb & bitrate: 3400 kbps.
My phone is rooted and bloat removed dont know if that helps....?
No man i got mine from minitheatre.org some small awesome anime encodes i thnk ur right that a few big ones play well i noticed sd ones work perfect its only hd ones i have trouble with them i use MX player ill test ur file to see if its working an all. Also I love bleach so put many bleach eps which i rewatch bout 100 times a day lolz on ma xperia play to but in 480p.
A lot of the higher quality anime I tried was lagging. I just use 480p most of the time now

I recommend MoboPlayer (not Mobo Video Player). If a video doesn't work you can use Soft-Decoding.
Cool! It worked. Soft coding worked! Btw, what it is?

You can also use dice player (paid app on market), that uses hardware decoding.
With hardware decoding you can view high definition videos (HD 720p) without any jumps or dropped frames. The battery will also last much more.
Seconds on dice player... absolutely a fantastic player
I'd advice you to:
1. use Samsung 42" LED TV to play movies, you'll be surprised how fast it is;
2. Post this and any future problems in 7.1 thread....
Been using mobo player but it has issues with flv files for example, the movie gets stuck but the time keeps moving and that part just doesn't play. Happens about 3-4 times for several minutes. Just wondering if you guys use another video player?
I have been using Moboplayer. It is the best video player for Android. I have tried several!

have you tried playing flv files? they give me problem and since i download videos and my downloader only downloads them in flv...so i was wondering whether it's the player or the rom i'm running.
Hello. DICE player Plays it all...
it is Good...Plays MKV on my DHD just fine , when other cant handle it!
try it
Arcmedia Player plays pretty much anything you throw at it.
will give these a try and report back whether they're playing this flv or not.
Thanks !
Try Rockplayer

It plays flv, mkv, 3gp etc, and any other format you throw at it.
Monologue was rated the best recently.
I still have the problem where some parts of the flv movie gets stuck but i believe it is probably the rom i'm using. All those players are functioning just fine and playing flv..

You can try MX Player, it's quite slick.
...my rant on this... pls excuse the bullc**p.. >_<
As a user who plays A LOT of movies due to constant use of the public transport for long journeys to and from work... my long-ass post here might be a bit useful for this thread.. ^_^
Initially (late 2010 when I was on Desire Bravo) I was a Rockplayer user, since it was the ONLY player that played most formats decently. Even then, playback of HD videos was buggy at best, impossible most of the time.
Then mid/late 2011 (still on Desire Bravo) Moboplayer came out... and that played more formats with better stability compared to Rockplayer (you need the right codec file downloaded for stability, ARM7VFP was the one I used) even the HD ones. But it was still lacking in regards to playing a lot of HD vids, and MKV playback was still buggy-ish... =/ It was also touting 'hardware decoding' playback... however, I almost always get a prompt saying 'hardware playback not possible etc..' whenever I play most videos anyways.
Nonetheless, I stuck to Moboplayer... since it did play more formats than Rockplayer... and was more stable.
On late November I switched to Desire HD, and whilst I initially stuck to Mobo for my standard player... I was finding that my battery was running out a lot quicker, even with all the 'battery optimizing' tweaks from the forum applied by me to the letter.
Other players like MX was pretty much similar to Mobo... in that it killed the battery just as quick... due to software decoding..
It was then that I found DICEplayer... stating that it did proper hardware decoding straight off the bat. So i gave that one a try... and to my surprise... playback was just as smooth and stable as Mobo... but it didnt kill the battery as bad as my old player!
So currently, my primary player for my DHD is DICEplayer, and imho its probably the best for the phone specifically because of the phone's generally poor battery performance... >_<
Though, i think the dev is having problems with his android market account... so I'm not sure if it can be purchased properly at the mo... =_=
Thanks for the information
I found dice player go be much better

Try using vplayer... I like it very much...
Sent from my Desire HD
... Used vplayer for a bit earlier on as a substitute when rockplayer couldnt play a file... Only because sometimes vplayer wouldnt play a file, in which case I'd switch back to rockplayer which would plau the file... Suprisingly.
But then, MOBOplayer came out and found that it played everything that both vplayer and rockplayer wouldnt play...
I would've stuck to mobo... But then again... DICEplayer has better hardware decoding support.. And is able to play most HD mkv files more consistently...

Dice is Nice (couldn't resist that)
I've been using Moboplayer but switched to Dice mainly because you can set the aspect ratio up in the settings rather than on the fly. Also when using a Bluetooth headset there seems to be no lag in the audio (lip sync) in comparison with Moboplayer which is also very good but has the slightest of audio lags over BT there's barely anything in it between the two though.
Tried Vplayer, that's okay, but IMHO it's
1. Dice
2. Moboplayer

Diceplayer has proven to be an excellent player. Works well with uPNPlay.
