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

I've tried:
.mpg
.avi
.wmv
none work, using the stock movie player, rockplayer AND vplayer or whatever it is.
Using software and hardware codec.
Do I need some kind of codec to play videos? This is ANNOYING
Anyone have a small video they know works I can troubleshoot with?
If it helps, I converted my wmv files into mp4 format and it works.
^ or try using moboplayer
With Rockplayer, When you load it up, instead of picking an option just wait a few seconds and see it plays. If you don't select it autoselects a codec. Seems to work ok over here.
+1 on MoboPlayer
mobo worked, thanks guys
i have played avi with rockplayer
hi, just wanted to share my experience on finding a worjing solution for my movie playing needs:
- my phone is a galaxy S and i expected tegra2 to outperform it in every way, movie-wise, that's not the case.
- normally i use mvideoplayer but since it relies 100% on native decoding, it wont open most of my files, avi, mkv, etc
- i installed vplayer, rockplayer (normal and optimized), qqplayer, moboplayer, besides the bundled nemoplayer and none was able to correctly decode a 720p mkv (1.5gb game of thrones episode). a couple were able to play it with sound, but they all lagged too much.
- for SD XviD rockplayer worked fine but it doesnt support subtitles, qqplayer displayed subtitles but it dropped frames. moboplayer + armv7vfp3 codec decoded the avi correctly and with subtitles.
- 720p youtube "rips" from tubemate worked fine on mvideoplayer, they use mp4 container and most likely base or main profile.
so... for tv shows from torrent, use avi and moboplayer. for hd content, hopefully they'll be 720p and main profile.
anyone knows what kind of file are the "BRRip" flying around on the net?
cheers.

I had an identical problem: I was also dismayed at not being able to watch a Game of Thrones MKV file!
I gave up on MKV and tried watching a 720p AVI (BRrip in Xvid/AC3) on moboplayer, and it worked flawlessly--even got the subtitles file to work. It's a huge pain in the ass, but converting to xvid/AVI might be the best bet. I'm going to do it remotely on my home PC while I'm at work
yeah, MKV files not working properly or at all is a bit of a bugger, but now i've been converting them into high def (720p) mp4's using some custom settings for Handbrake that i found either here or another forum (can't remember which, lol), works a treat and looks great on the A500!
i looked around for 720p avi files, i didnt think they would look so good.
i still saw some dropped frames but that could have been because i was using CIFS to acces the 2tb hdd on my htpc.
but i still wonder the mp4 BRRips, there's something weird with those filesm even the galaxy S refused to play some of them...
anyway, in short, if available prefer 720p avi...

How did you get the subtitles to work? Did you use .sub or .srt subtitles? And witch program to convert?
I have found that if you use rockplayer in hardware mode and your videos are x/h264 video and AAC audio the results are very acceptable playback
@Ramius71: no conversion, just an SD .avi file with .srt subtitles
the .avi was a 174mb tv episode and the .srt downloaded from opensubtitles
@Yatyas: could you give an example please? .mkv or .mp4? i have several .mp4 that play well but most are ripped from youtube or things like that...
downloaded HD movies and TV episodes don't work for me, even in rockplayer...
has anyone tried VLC on the Iconia yet?

I have found that as long as it is encoded with x.264 or h.264 on the video and AAC on the audio regardless of the wrapper .mkv or .mp4 I get very good performance from the hardware decoding when using Rockplayer.
I have found many .mp4 and x264 files that have AC3 for the audio and I re-encode using handbrake changing just the audio to AAC and everything seems to work well
Just bough a vega... its running what it says is modaco custom rom....Have transfered a 1080 mp4 video file taken on my mobile phone (galaxy s2) but it wont play it.
It tries to play it but it is very jumpy
/
Any ideas ? or should i download a different media player?
Thanks
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?
Can I do a modification to enable it after it's rooted?
I tried to play .wmv files with floor model but I have no luck.
I have a lot of ripped DVDs in .mp4 (480p) format, but I also have several .wmv files downloaded. The size will drastically increase if I re-encode to .mp4 without degrading quality.
i think its in /etc/media_profiles.xml in bottom of file, change to "yes" and save back.
remember to have system r/w
MKV
You can attempt to convert the files to MKV.
The system by default does not play back this file source but there is a player called Mobo Player available on the market.
I have done a few mp4 720p conversions to mkv 720p and I am pleased to say they worked while not being to to big (average size is 1-2gigs per 1.5hrs)
I have read reports that Diceplayer handles mkv files. You might want to give that a try.
Hello Friends If Your Looking For A Video Player to Play all types of Video
Check out MX Video Player and also don`t forget to download the codec for those video ,been watching all types of video on the go .peace
Hey all,
I never really tried playing video on the nook, but I just tried playing an MP4 and it gives me a "Sorry, this video cannot be played" error.
I've looked into it and it seems that the nook actually supports MP4 playback.
Running on Mirage 7.2.
Also the information VLC Player (on my PC) gives for the mp4 file:
Stream 0
---------
Type: Video
Codec: H264 - MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1)
Resolution: 640x480
Frame rate: 29.970023
Decoded format: Planar 4:2:0 YUV
Stream 1
---------
Type: Audio
Codec: MPEF AAC Audio (mp4a)
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
I appreciate any effort to sort this one out.
I have had nothing but problems using VLC player on my rooted nook. It has to have soft-decoding enabled for lots of movie files to play on it. This is using the VLC player through the playstore.
One player on the playstore I have had better luck with is called MX player or the Moboplayer, both of those will play the native .mp4 video formats for me.

Also you might have a corrupted video file if it is not playing on your computer with the correct video codecs downloaded for it. Might want to try to re-download that one video you are having problems with. Check that file in a different video player on your computer and see if it plays. If it doesn't, then you either do not have the correct video codecs downloaded onto your computer for it or it is a corrupted file. On windows OS I have to download a KLite video codec for .mp4 files to play. VLC should play that file by default though on the computer.

Try using the program "handbrake" to encode your video files for playback on the nook to keep from having to soft decode it. Soft decoding takes up lots of processing power on the processor on your nook color. There are guides to show you how to encode video files for your nook color using handbrake here. http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...using-handbrake-convert-video-nook-color.html
Thanks for the quick response.

I only used my Windows VLC Player to determine the codecs information. What I'm trying to do here is to run the mp4 in the native CM7.2 player.

I will try to re-encode the file. Maybe something with the audio stream there...
Will update! Thanks!
OK it works with the directions what you gave
I tried to give it a go alone with Handbrake. Didn't work.
Then I followed the steps in the link you provided and it plays in the default player, including H/W decoding.
Thanks a bunch!
