I put some YouTube videos on an SD card and when I put it into my A7 I can play the videos by going to the "Gallery" on the Home/Main page. But all it does is play and I can stop and start it, but no other controls. Someone said that Rockplayer was better to use. Is that true?
I notice Rockplayer on the Internet as a download and it is described as Rockplayer Lite (which includes advertising).
Is this the one I would have to choose (to use for free) to play my videos? Or is there another Rockplayer that would not have advertisements (my grandson uses this A7 also)?
Is Rockplayer better than just playing the videos via te "Gallery" on the Home/Main page?
Someone sent us a Rockplay 1.7.2 APR 5.600KB, which I can transfer onto a SD or flash drive. Could I use that? Is that the Lite version with the advertising?
How would I install it onto the A7 from a SD card?
P.S. Is there someplace my cousin (living some place else) can download the FREE RockPlayer 1.7.2?
Thanks for any help.

ADD-ON:
Since I haven't had a reply from anyone on this topic, I decided to install the RockPlayer onto my A7. Now, when I click on the RockPlayer icon and choose a video (from YouTube on the SD card), I get a pop-up reading:
"Mode Select
Not show again (you'll need set mode in app settings. (a box to check is next to this line)
Hardware decoding mode / Software Decoding mode"
What is this pop-up? What does this mean? What should I check? Is this RockPlayer too advanced for us (grandson and I) to use and should we just delete it and just play the videos using the Gallery?
Rockplayer will play music (from the SD), but doesn't show any picture as does when playing music via the "Music" icon on Home/Main page. Doesn't this (version of) RockPlayer play music or is it mainly used for playing videos?
Can someone please help?
Thanks

Hi there, I was wondering if the phone can play video clips on the browser?
For example, if i go on youtube the video does not play, it says i need flash player or enable java? I downloaded flash player 6 and installed it on my phone and did a soft reset and videos still do not play!
Is there any way in which i can get videos to play of my phone?
Thanks.

Is the only option via tinytube to view videos to download the files vs. streaming? If I choose the stream option my media player says "RTSP protocol not supported!" I can download and view videos, but would sure like the steaming option.
I'm using joox to download movies and I would like to know how can I download or sync the videos to my phone? Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Could anybody tell me please how to upload movies to my phone, if it's possible? I never did it with my so I just though I try it. Thanks in advance!
fastest way would put them on your storage card via a card reader and then put the card in the phone.... I have some on mine and they work fine but I do tend to stick with just .avi format
Where do you get your videos from and how do you do it? Thanks!
I've been playing movies on my Titan with TCPMP (the core pocket media player) and everything is playing fine, plays Divx and XVid and everything.
just take your movie file and reencode it in 320x240 with wathever software you want. Personnaly, I always use PocketDivXEncoder, set it to PDA, crank the audio to 6 and an episode of 22 minutes takes around 55Mb
Man...it's frustrating when you're a novice to some things. Could you explain a little further how to download the movies to my computer and then to my phone? Now, I download the movies to a my realplayer library and I'm stuck at that point.
well, I don't know how the Realplayer thingy works, I usualy just download TV Rips (in Divx or Xvid) then reencode them. I guess google is your friend for the rest!
Ok. Thanks for what you told me anyway.

When you install Realplayer, it gives you the option to record video and audio streams from flash players, though it saves them in real format. I personally prefer SUPER (thats the name of the program), which downloads and reencodes the videos on the fly. It even has presets for several screen formats. Also, it's freeware, which helps.
Cheers.
I'm a newbie to my Android phone, I am in the Caribbean so I have no access to the market on my phone, i had to trick it to get apps on it at first because it would not see the content of the SD card because i could not download the File Manager.
I noticed I could not play videos so after getting the file manager I decided to download a video player and hoped that would solve the problem, well all it does is play the audio of the movie and my screen remains dark and blank, what am i doing wrong guys? and if its the software that's the problem where can i download a good video player for free that will work?

I'm guessing you're unrooted, correct?
For the videos (which I assume you're playing off the sdcard) did they ever work? If they didn't it's going to be because they're using a codec your phone doesn't support (probably divx, xvid, although I doubt the avi container would show up in many video apps), so you'll need to convert them or find a player that does support them.

Can you record video with your camera/camcorder app and then play them back?
If so then you can play video just fine and it's just a codec issue.
If not then it sounds like an app or rom issue.

Yes Binary you are indeed correct, it was a codec issue, i can indeed play videos my camera records plus i downloaded an mp4 from online after i posted my complaint here and it played just fine on my MT3G, the problem was i converted the movies to play on my phone with "Allok 3GP PSP MP4 iPod Video Converter" but for some reason it seemed to mess up the mp4 format because it wont play on my phone but it plays back fine on my computeri even redid them in 3GP and my phone still didnt play them, I downloaded another converter and the movies are indeed playing just fine. thanks again for your speedy response

Is there a way to download a YouTube video to our Elocity A7?
If yes, is it downloaded directly or through an App, etc.? Or could we download it to our computer and then transfer to our Elocity A7?
We would like to put one John Denver video on the Elocity A7.
Thank you.

How would I get the Tubemate App onto my Elocity A7?
And then, how would I download a You Tube video onto the A7?

I want to download and play a YouTube video on the Elocity A7. I have the YouTube Downloader on one of my WinXP (which will only accept a Flash Drive attached to it. I tried to use the YouTube Downloader to download the John Denver video. It was saved a a FLV file. I don't know what that is.
The YouTube Downloader allows you to convert into:
IPOD video (Apple Quick Time Mov)
Iphone video (MPEG-4 NP4)
PSP Video (H.264 MP4)
Cell Phone (H.263 3GP)
Windows Media Video (V.7 WmV)
XVid MPEG-4 codec AVI
MPEG Audio Layer 3 MP3
Manual conversion (asks for the insertion of parameters)
Since I don't know what I am doing, I don't know which one to choose.
And then, after it is converted (that is if it can be converted) on the Flash Drive, how do I get it onto the A7 and how do I play it?
Can you or anyone help? Or should I just forget about it?
I have put the YouTube video on a SD card.
How do I get the Elocity A7 to play a video from that card?
I see a Music app on the Homepage, but I do not see a Video player.
A previous post said to use Rockplayer. Is that what I would have to install on the Elocity A7?
How do I do that? How do I install a video player on my Elotciy A7?
Can someone help please?

#1- How do I get "Rockplayer" onto my Elocity A7?
#2- We can convert the YouTube downloaded Video into either of the following. Correct?
Iphone video (MPEG-4 NP4)
or
XVid MPEG-4 codec AVI
Either one of them on the SD card would be able to be played on the Elocity A7 via "Rockplayer?"
(I only have Getjar Apps on this Elocity! When I open browser on Elocity I can get to a Rockplayer Lte site (https://market.android.com), but don't know if I can download from there.)
ADD-ON: I just noticed if I click on Gallery, I can see the YouTube video I put on the SD card. When I click on it, the video plays. Hooray!!!
I have problems installing market apps -- I always get a notification that Installation is unsuccessful. I was trying to install video players like Moboplayer and VPlayer. Previous installs like CNBC worked fine.
Also, I was not able to find the stock video player. Where is it? Like to add a video player which support more type of videos like DIVX.
I did found out that I could not install any apps from Market when I have connection with my PC.
Thanks for your help.
ps: my new tablet, contrary to XOOM, is not supporting synch book marks with CHROME! Anyone know how?
where are you located at?
For movies, the Gallery app is the same as the movies app. If you go to File Manager and look for the movie you wanna watch (it can be saved on the TF hard drive or the microSD card foler), just tap on the movie file name and you'll get prompted to which application to use to play that movie. It will show "Movies" and "Moboplayer" as the options if you have MoboPlayer installed. If you don't, it shows as Movies and you click on it and you can start watching it provided it's a format that is supported.
I strongly suggest downloading MoboPlayer though.
I can't install moboplayer as it fails installing. Any idea why?
Found problem...
I ran out of 16GB file space....
Anyone let me know how to use CHROME bookmarks with browser....
