There is suppose to be DIVX support on the tab 10.1 but getting an error divx not supported. Is this coming in a later update or something? Is there a way to get codec installed now?
Thanks
I would think it's coming with the TouchWiz update. At this point, my Vibrant can play more media than stock Honeycomb.

Just download a free player from Market. Any should play divx.
Ill try that tonight when I get home. I am using an application that hits mega video to play from. thought it was all web based and not a media player, but Ill try one tonight and see if that works.
Mobovideo and RockPlayer are both really good and basically the video player from the Samsung Galaxy S phones.
yeah, Divx works fine with Mobo.
oops I meant xvid codec. when I open a Mega video link I need xvid. I tried mobo.
Does anyone know a free DVD converter?
Also, what files can the Galaxy Tab 10.1 play natively?
update once mobo downloaded I had to open it and then it went to market and downloaded codecs for divx and xvid.
all is good.

loving my streak ive just come to put an avi file on it and it wont play ... from reports the streak will play any format ??
is this not true or do i need to download something for an avi file to play
You will need rock player to play avi's.
Hi mancuk29
No idea where you have seen it reported the Streak will play any video file as the built in player plays limited amount of formats Divx and Avi's not being in the list. But as zero.fx has already pointed out Rock Player is a great player that plays most formats and is free with ads or not that expensive for the no add version but make sure you get the v7 version that supports the Streak best. As long as the files are well encoded it should play virtually anything you throw at it in great quality.

see also vplayer, plays my avi just fine & is free from market (prob someone has uploaded apk on here somewhere)
& no, i don't have any association with vplayer developer in anyway!!
I know that the tab is divx certified but, i would like to know if it is possible to play divx in the browser? On sites like stagevu, loombo and vidxden.
Thanks in advance.

No,
i am not able to play divx videos from web.... its showing the plugin symbol
That all said, my Tab is loving XviD dvd rips
I mainly want the Tab for Xvid DVD rips. Do you know if the Tab plays avi's that our encoded with an AC3 soundtrack rather than MP3. a lot of dvd rips have Ac3 rather than MP3 and I heard that the galaxy cannot support multichannel soundtracks.
It has played all files I have tried until now. avis' in a lot of formats, divx. h.264 all new series. It even does mkv files in 720p with no problems or lag at all
ac3 is supported. But the stock player has decoding problems. Try vPlayer alpha - its the best atm.
so with vplayer alpha does it play 720p mkv files with AC3 (a52 codec) soundtrack, dont want to convert everything to AAC 2 channel or MP3.
Any word on firmware upgrades to fix stock video player???
None yet... but youre right, the stock player is very good otherwise! I love the browser and media library. And of course the ar control.
so can someone confirm does it play perfectly with another video player instead of the stock one.
As I said really interested in playback of 720p mkv with AC3 (5.1 sound)
Gonna try it when they are for sale next week, take my sd card and see if it works
Yep works fine in vplayer. But remember, no files larger than 4gb on internal storage.
Also, the 1080p playback advertised for the galaxy tab refers to divx and xvid I believe, so high profile move are square in third party player laps. Lets hope they make fixes too!
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.
Sent from my GT-P7100 using XDA App
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
no suggestions on MKV yet ??

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.
Going to finally get around to putting some videos on my tab. I just wondered what format was best? Do you guys use the stock video player? Probably will mostly be anime stuff and am planning on just converting with Sony Vegas.
Any help would be great!
the best format for the tab seems to be mp4, but I play 720p mkv files fine too, including over wireless. The stock video player won't cut it so you should get a better player. There's plenty on the android market, mx player and mobo player are free, dice player is not. I use mx and it works fine.
I haven't yet found a format that BSPlayer won't play fantastically Plus it's free, so there's no reason not to IMHO...just remember it'll ask you to install a plugin first time round - install whichever one it asks you too, that'll improve performance as it will use hardware decoding
Change your video format to mp4 with a xivd or dvix code, you will find it so cool in this tab. This format support 1080p video.
This tab is weak with h.264 code.
Thanks to all you guys got it working great with Bsplayer!
Hi, i've just ran into a bit of a problem. I was planning to watch Avatar (1080p) (.mkv format it is in) on my Nexus 7 to see how well it would cope. I started using mxplayer but it had no sound, dice player would play the movie so i then use BSplayer FREE and it worked. Job done. Until i found that i forgot to enable subtitles for the na'vi speech so i could understand. In BSplayer Free when i press in the top right, then select subtitle, then select active subtitle it doesnt find any, but when i use my computer there are 3 subtitle tracks within the video. I've also tried putting the .srt file in the same place, called the same as the movie, but it still wont find it.
Any ideas?
Try Moboplayer?

Moboplayer is laggy and doesnt play the sound. Wont use hardware decoding, attempts to use software decoding and sucks. Bad.
Vplayer Terrible lag.
QQ player Terrible lag.
It seems that only MXplayer and BSplayer play it fine, but MXplayer has no sound. Oh, forgot to mention that Mobo player found the 3 subtitle sets fine so it has to be the apps >.>
did you try SW decoding for MX?
Also, the full version of DICE player was made free last week. There is an option to manually select your sub file.

Dice player (yes i got the full one) says "sorry, this video cannot be played"
In MXplayer i get the 2 S/W options S/W and S/W fast. Both laggy and no sound. Going to try another method of coding the subtitles to the film.

MX player works beautifully for me.. no lag at all
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
MX works perfectly for me, just remember to keep it set to S/W mode and not S/W(Fast mode).
hmm. That sucks. I haven't run into the AC3/Tegra issue yet as SW mode has been able to handle my files, but I've only tested 720p stuff for MKV. 1080 MP4 was fine.
I'll check if I have any 1080p MKVs later tonight. I have a feeling most if not all my 1080 stuff is mp4 though. I really try and avoid MKV since it's a PITA for 360/PS3 and i've never gotten those "on the fly" converting media servers to work. Curse you MKV!

11gb of download son, glad my internet recently got buffed for free though!
At the minute using mkvmerge and Avidemux to see if either will hardcore them into the video itself properly and not softcode.
I spent almost 45minutes today getting the subtitles to match up with my copy of the film. Really frustrating getting that to work properly.

you should use custom plugin and libffmpeg.so on sdcard.
it may be a DTS issues.

Fixed it, by default subtitles are disabled in BSplayer, for whatever reason that is, and then it worked :/ I had to spend ages altering the timing of subtitles though as the subtitles werent the ones for the copy i had Works fine now.
