Video play

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:

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

So now i have this new Galaxy 10.1v tab... how do i watch videos??

Anyone struck this hurdle yet ?
Got my tab all set up yesterday... charged it over night, played with it today... thought, right... about to go to bed, might load up a few videos to watch...
Well... I think i was expecting to much for it to play anything out of the box when i went looking for the video player app and there isnt one. You can open files in Gallery... but there is another issue... divx/xvid files with avi extensions do not even show up as being on the device. MKV files do. And they play... all be it with no sound. This started me on a quest... over to the Xoom forums to have a look at those guys... download all of their suggestions... Ok, got the divx sorted. every video player i downloaded would play divx/xvid files with ease. no surprise there... still no files showing up in gallery...
The closest i got to playing a 720p mkv file was with rockplayer... but i ran into the similar issues with rockplayer. when i used it to play the mkv files, if i used hardware decoding, crystal clear picture... no sound. If i used software decoding, sound works... but now the picture it all chopped up and way out of sync...
For the moment it looks like it's back to encoding the mkv files back to xvid... As for this device being able to play 1080p video... i wont hold my breath. From what i have seen of how it plays 720p, it may come in the next update, but for now it even appears to be struggling to play 720p let alone 1080p...
Any ideas, tips or trick you have found that works for playing different video types???

I'm using MoboPlayer which downloads the needed codecs from the Android Market. Tried both divx and xvid, works great.

Also using rockplayer. Will try mobo.

I've also tried QQPlayer which isn't bad and Vital Player, which so far seems to be the smoothest player I've used so far.
I haven't tried mobo yet though.

mobo rulles

MoboPlayer is supposed to support the mkv container format (haven't tried myself).
Quote from MoboPlayer official site:
"The current Mobo version will not support mkv, mov container format which have built-in subtitle streams, but we will complete this feature as soon as possible."
So, it supports MKV as long as it doesn't contain built-in subtitles. I will try it later tonight and report the results.

mVideoPlayer: mkv + subtitle

Mobo player plays .mkv incl. streams. That is ofc on a Galaxy S phone. On a tegra 2, device as far as I have read, there isn't much luck plying .mkv files as the soc doesn't support them. Go figure.

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

I thought that the Vega could only play 720 vids?

Video playing in extreme fast forward

I have a non rooted a500 and since the last update all videos playin super fast forward speed and can't fix it. I've tried uninstalling and ReInstalling mobo and other video player but nothing helps. When I put videos on a flash drive and do it that way it does the same, also with recorded videos with the built in camcorder also play in fast forward.

I think it's a codecs problem. I experienced the same trying to copy the video stream from a mkv into mp4 (apparently there was a problem with b-frames and had to reencode). Did you try to reinstall the codecs for mobo? Or you could give mx player a try - works much better than mobo for me.

Try getting mx video player from the market. If it needs a codec, it will prompt you.

First you would remove the codec. To do this you would go into your settings - applications - manage applications. Find the video player in this list. There should be two entries for the video player app. One is for the actual player, and one is for the codec. Select the codec on and uninstall it. If your video player is decent, when you try to run it, it will prompt you for a codec to which you can just follow the link to install it from the market.

[Q] Video Transcode

Hi,
I just got a new TF101G, and I would like to transcode some of my TV records for the Transformer.
So I just went along using Handbrake and created a MP4 file out of my TS recording.
The re-coded movie has a resolution of 720x572 (that's the original size, I didn't changed anything in Handbrake). But when I play that using the stock app, the aspect-ratio during playback seems to be odd. I basically followed the settings on http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...onvert-video-transformer-using-handbrake.html.
What am I missing here? Is there any "trick" to re-code movies for the Transformer?

Try Mx Video Player on the market. Works for just about everything. I would post a link but I can't yet.

OK; I will try that - but shouldn't the video also work fine with the stock player?

I use the stock player for movies that I have made into mp4's using handbrake. They're not HD so I have not changed any setting in handbrake either. They have all played fine so far.
I have also used dice player to play a video that was downloaded and mx or stock would not play it and dice player did, so who knows with this stuff

What resolution are your movies that you re-coded to mp4 using handbrake?
