What kind of files are compatible with the video player?
I tried to load a movie on my phone that I downloaded, it was in .avi format but wouldn't play. I thought it would be capable of playing that.
Evo SHIFT
The app ArcMedia fixed all my problems playing videos seems to play files better then any other app ive tried on my shift other apps would lag

Just got the mytouch 4g. I attempted to play avi and divx files that played fine on the Vibrant. They wouldn't play at all. Any apps from the market that will play a wider selection of files?
Rockplayer

Arcmedia or rockplayer

Both of those programs are kinda meh.
I really wish the stock media player could be as robust as the one on the Galaxy S phones. At the very least, I wish a vendor would create a nice movie player app on the market.
wish they did that too but they ok for me even when i had my vibrant i didnt really watch movies that much unless i was flying out ......but they do the job for me for now

I use VPlayer, it plays the formats you listed.
what that guy said ^
...Go Lakers!
I know that most videos cant play when thrown on xoom and must be converted and what not
but i wanted to ask has anyone tried playing untouched vids (mkv, avi) etc..
on Rockplayer or QQplayer (from market) does it work? (even 720p ones)
EDIT: Ima answer my own question here using an atrix 4g (same processor)
and its no (atleast for true 720p video, around 4 mbps bitrate), it stutters
the players arent optimized yet.
HOWEVER, converting in baseline profile for the xoom/atrix, you can do ANYTHING! (using badaboom)
even a 10mbps, 1920x1080p video, plays flawlesslY! what a beast (vid is below if you wanna test)

My avis worked with rockplayer just fine.
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?
Is there a way to play mp4 and m4v videos on android? If so how?

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.
Terminators run on Android...
I just installed cm9 nightly and all videos play through the mx video player app.YouTube stuff play fine too. Was there ever a video problem.?

Well, in my case I don't have any issues with the YouTube app playing videos, but using MoboPlayer it's hit and miss and tends to FC on ocassions, I believe this must be due to the lack of HWA, so maybe the videos you have played do not rely on it so much.
