What Video Player works best for arc? - Xperia Arc General

I have used MoboPlayer, VPlayer, RockPlayer and they all stutter when I play avi videos.
Are there any recommendations on how to eliminate the stutter on these players or a different player that might be more effective?

Usually depends on the bitrate of the file. And also avi and mkv with less than 2gig plays nicely on rockplayer and moboplayer in my experience.

I was wondering if the Bravia engine works when using third-party videoplayer or picture viewer...

Use
1. ARCMEDIA
2. VITAL PLAYER

If you put the .avi files in DCIM maybe it will appear in the pictures app and you'll be able to read it with stock video player ? Maybe i'm totally wrong

DCIM is for everything recorded with the camera and has nothing to do with the gallery widget or the gallery itself, but the last h.264 mp4 i made for the Arc wasn't read by the stock player.

Arcmedia interface is a bit crap.. and there's no homescreen widget either.. wonder if there's a way of modding the stock media player to use more codecs?

That would I also like to know.
Edit: Mostly for the .sub files. I have tried Mobo, Rock, QQ, and Vitalplayer and none of them supports .sub files as far as I can see.
I use rockplayer for my series n movies, srt files are working well.
Yes +1 for the mobo player.
I use dvd Fab for all my movies,it also gives you the option to hard encode subtitles in the movie file.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App
I can confirm Moboplayer supports SRT subtitles. As best I can tell, it looks at your video's filename, and then looks for the same filename except ending in .SRT. ALL CAPS file extention was the only way I could get it to work. Good luck!

Try Mx player from market. It has an option to play in full screen and also to employ hardware acceleration /software acceleration.

dice player is good too!! give it ago!
If you get Freemaker video converter, which is free, for your PC you can convert your videos.
I use Act 1 Video player because it let's you zoom the size.
Qq player work great

mx video player. Avi file with srt greek subs. works perfect.
another person for mx player
I've tried about every player available -- BSPlyer Lite, VPlayer, MoboPlayer. MX Player is all around the best - the only player that streams avi movies from SMB share (used with FS File Explorer). I also like MoboPlayer.
I believe the best player for Tegra 2 is DicePlayer - paid ARM 7. It sucks that the paid version is not available and who knows, may never be available from Android Market. VLC is still in beta - looking forward to that one!
Does anyone know what's going on with Dice? Seems like they pissed someone at Google off...
+1 to MX Player, plays everything I have thrown at it, if not in H/W then in S/W mode. Loads subs, dims buttons and resumes play even from LAN.

How do I watch avi movies free?

Is there a app or back or a thread/dev that has codecs? The only thing I have seen was rockplayer lite whitch is good and it plays my files but with watermarks...
Thank you!

I've seen many users talk about using Mobo. I use VitalPlayer Neon and get smooth playback of xvids. I assume it will play other avis as well.
Mobo does a pretty good job with avis, no issues for me so far.
Another vote for Mobo Player. Plays every avi I've tried smooth and steady. Uses swipe gestures on screen to adjust brightness, volume and playback location. Free in Market.

Mp4/m4v videos on android?

Is there a way to play mp4 and m4v videos on android? If so how?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
if the file doesn't play natively, you can always convert them using a program like handbrake.
Mx video player
Mx player works great for the videos ive ripped. What can I use to play or remove the drm from videos i've d/l from itunes?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using xda premium
There is no hack for drm (not to mention that to post one here or anywhere else would be highly illegal). My only suggestion is to sign up for Netflix and play your Apple videos on an iPod Touch.

Video Player that can play .wmv

Hi,
In my phone i have MX Player, Real Player, Zimly, Mobo Player and Easy Video player. But any one of the above are able to play >wmv video files?
Can some one suggest me a video player that can play .wmv files smoothly.
Thanks in Advance.
our p500 cant play some video files smooth..because we have low h/w acceleration..
Smoothly....idk but I believe mx video player has support and its free on the market....download the video player and the armv6-vfp codecs
Sent from my LG-P500 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I can confirm that. I played a 720p wmv file with MX player weeks ago (but of coz it's not smooth on my ICS rom)
I already tried that. MX player plays only audio, it doesn't shows video for .wmv files.

Did you try software decoding(SW) mode?(on the upper right corner while playing).
Otherwise video probably has big resolution and you need to convert it.(480x320)
I tried to play through software decoding but it say "this video can't play using software decoding".
And the video resolution I am trying to play is 640x480. Is this resolution is compatible with our optimus one?

Yep.,640*480 videos are playable on p500.
But if you are on ics rom then it is lagging. Try to play on any GB rom, it's playing smoothly.

Rockplayer shows most of the archive formats, but don't play some of them smoothly.

encode video to nexus 7

hey
i was looking for a program to convert my videos so i can watch them optimally on the nexus 7
any suggestions?
thanks
Ariel
I don't think you need to re-encode your videos. Personally, I just use MX player. It supports almost all video formats. You can download the app for free on the Play Store.
+1 for MX Player.
Can't say I've found a video it won't play tbh.

Bs player works better for me. Mx sometimes degrades picture quality.

+1 for MX player. So far plays anything I've thrown at it.
1080p Anime MXV files no problem.
Only files I have had problems with were ones that were poorly encoded.
