[Q] Problems playing video !!! - Streak 5 General

Guys,
I just got my streak..
Why can't it play .mp4 straight out of the box (via videos) just like htc desire ??
I had to download rockplayer to play it, and it lags so much!
Anyone else had same problem??

Works for me. Did you try going into gallery and play it from there?

I love vplayer its basic and straight to the point

Default Video player

Hello. There is a problem in my video player. The sdcard has two videos by default, tutorial.mp4 and xperia.mp4. The videos can be played before the upgrade (android 1.6). One of the videos (xperia.mp4) cannot be played anymore after updating to eclair. Video codec changed or something? Thanks!

I cannot post outside links. Maybe because I'm new here.
I'll just send you a message for the link.
It worked fine with me.
Eclair version too?
Do you guys really need those videos? Cuz i don"t see anything usefull one them.. xD
Anyway, just try to convert to mp4, using the video converting option on atube catcher or any other app to convert videos.. that should work

Yeah its not that useful. Just wondering why the video is not playing anymore. It is working prior to eclair, some codec might have changed to render it non playable. And if you have some video with the same codec properties, it will not work too.

Both.
You can also download QQPlayer from Market,and it'll work.
Quality of videos is soo Gud than other ROM player
I also have Xperia X8 it plays all types of MP4 files without any problem. But Quality of videos in offical player in Eclair 2.2 ROM is too Gud than any another ROMS. It plays only in Landscape mode its also a gud feature.

video playback

i know this has been discussed but i think that it is freaking ridiculous that we cant play all video types on the so called worlds most powerful smartphone. it should play all formats stock
Okay. So did you have a question like, "Does anybody know of an app that will play ___ video format"? Were optimizing our devices here at XDA, not complaining about them.
I agree....thus I have installed arcMedia 4 my mkv's. Seems pretty good. Plays my 720p copies quite nice.....however...thru wehtop on a 42" with webtop mob the playback is slightly stuttered from time to time....still tolerable to me though.

indeed All formats are supported on the so called most powerful phone
(via third part player)
but whether it will be playing smoothly remains to be discussed
what is the best player? i tried qqplayer,no results
Qqplayer seems to play everything.
player.qq.com/android
I can see it just fine searching for it on the market.
There is another thread talking about how to use handbrake to convert movies to a format that the atrix will play natively.
I followed it and it worked perfectly

HD videos on atrix

oK is it just me or we all have the same problem, downloaded HD videos from youtube and it wont play. Anyone??
??? anyone?
Try a different video player. If that doesnt work then there may bot be the correct codec available

Try Mobo Player. Also, Atrix hasn't had 1080p update from Moto, so if your videos are 1080p they likely won't play if I am thinking correctly.
Beamed in from WinBorg 4G via XDA Premium app
I believe your attempting to play baseline or highline x264. Unfortunately our nvidea chip will not run that. But, I'm not sure if it is a problem that can be fixed through software. Anyone?

i have done some research on this matter, yes the tegra chip won't play any high profile x264 HD movie (either 720p or 1080p). you have to convert it to main profile x264 and it will play fine.
u can try "handbrake" to convert it and our beloved Atrix will play. you can make a google search to see the tutorial for converting using "handbrake"

Yeah man, very desappointing news... Althought I still have hope that we will be able to do that. After all, we have "Atrix - The world's most powerful phone"
Try using arc media player, out is available on that market for free. Let me know if out works for you

I have not come across a video, hd or otherwise, that I could not play on my Atrix. If one player doesn't work, I go to another one.
The best player for atrix is moboplayer with codec pack.
I can play most of my movies without problems in HD but I have great news for HD mkv viewer.
Power DVD are developing a application which can play HD mkv movies and more.
I read it on androidpit.de

So I tried mob with all it's codecs avail on the market, also tried arc both of them are lagging as if im playing HD video on some low end cheap phone. Man o man what a disappoinent e'h. So much hype for the qhd but really its crap.
Try it for ur self I downloaded and tried to play transforms 3 trailer and metallicas nothing else matters hd. And they both played like crap. Dunno about you fellas but I never expected these results from my attic they are calling this the most powerful phone.

Video recording and playback issue

Hey guys ive been making some videos with my phone but when i try to play them on my computer, it only has audio and no picture. The weird thing is that not all the videos are like that, but rather some. When i see the list of the videos i made on my laptop, some of the thumbnails have pictures and others dont and the ones that dont have a pic doesnt have any video but audio streams out. Its a very peculiar issue. Im currently running virtuous unity. Also, when playing back on my phone, it plays fine. Its only when i hook up my phone to my computer that it does this. Any insight would be helpful

movies

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?
