As there isn't a a100 section I hope you don't mind me asking here
I have the a100 on order but can't work out if it will play avi files
Also I have seen two different specs does it come with 1gb of ram or 512mb ?
Can't wait to get my hands on it hopefully will be as good as my iPad which is going add I'm sick of been locked to itunes and three screen is to big to make it portable 7" is just perfect size

If it's anything like the a500 - it will not play avi in the stock installed video player.
However, you can use one of many alternative players that will be able to software decode the file. I love and recommend MX player, it's free, and it has great options as well as a nice feel to the player. Rockplayer also works for many things, but I find the watermark the free version puts on the screen pretty annoying would have paid for it if I had not stumbled upon mx player
Acer a100 has 1024MB of ram on board - also found some specs for it showing 528, no idea how that got started.
Thank you .... Strange why it wont play avi on stock player must be a android 3.2 thing cos on my Samsung s2 that plays avi files straight through the video player
Can you tell me if real player is available and works on the a500 ? I use this on my s2 and hope it will on my new tab when it arrives
Thanks in advance

oK is it just me or we all have the same problem, downloaded HD videos from youtube and it wont play. Anyone??
??? anyone?
Try a different video player. If that doesnt work then there may bot be the correct codec available

Try Mobo Player. Also, Atrix hasn't had 1080p update from Moto, so if your videos are 1080p they likely won't play if I am thinking correctly.

I believe your attempting to play baseline or highline x264. Unfortunately our nvidea chip will not run that. But, I'm not sure if it is a problem that can be fixed through software. Anyone?

i have done some research on this matter, yes the tegra chip won't play any high profile x264 HD movie (either 720p or 1080p). you have to convert it to main profile x264 and it will play fine.
u can try "handbrake" to convert it and our beloved Atrix will play. you can make a google search to see the tutorial for converting using "handbrake"

I have not come across a video, hd or otherwise, that I could not play on my Atrix. If one player doesn't work, I go to another one.
The best player for atrix is moboplayer with codec pack.
I can play most of my movies without problems in HD but I have great news for HD mkv viewer.
Power DVD are developing a application which can play HD mkv movies and more.
I read it on androidpit.de

So I tried mob with all it's codecs avail on the market, also tried arc both of them are lagging as if im playing HD video on some low end cheap phone. Man o man what a disappoinent e'h. So much hype for the qhd but really its crap.
Try it for ur self I downloaded and tried to play transforms 3 trailer and metallicas nothing else matters hd. And they both played like crap. Dunno about you fellas but I never expected these results from my attic they are calling this the most powerful phone.

Install Rockplayer
Another thing you could do which some people have tried is to change the file extension to mp4, which will play with the native player. I think DivX is just a 'container' format which contains MP4 video so it should work in theory, although I haven't tried this on my TF myself.

plenty of players out there for DIVX/XVID. I think some manufacturers just bundle extra players or codecs. i dont think support is in 'native' Android.

1080p video encoded using the DivX (or XviD) codec is really inefficient. It's going to be a lot larger file size or of lower quality than a more modern codec like h.264. If you'd like to play 1080p video on your transformer, you'd be best to transcode your video to an h.264 video stream. Not only will the file size be much smaller, but it will play back using hardware acceleration which is much more likely to be smooth than software rendered DivX.
Rockplayer, Moboplayer, etc are all the same thing. They're just containers for ffmpeg--which is the best free software decoder available. Pick the one that has the best interface and is free. Paying for any of these is actually against the law, and while you're not going to get in any trouble, it's stupid to pay for something that should be free.

What program/script is the best option for converting my high profile mkv's to a usable format on my xoom. I'm not really interested in 1:1 quality as I think 720p is overkill for the 10" screen. I'm just interested in a quick and painless method that will also allow me do batches because I have quite a few films to do.
Thanks,
i tried looking around for conversion apps and i only found one. Its called MyView(on the market). I didnt get a chance to test it out yet tho. And if that doesnt work you can play .mkv's from the rockplayer app(its my personal favorite). I hope that helped

Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone can recommend a free video converter to convert media (wmv, mov etc) to play on the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Thanks
convert
I use Format Factory
converts to anything... you may want to ask which file format is best for the Tab... as I don't know.
I convert to 720x480 MP4... and it works well on mine... somebody on here may know a better size/setup

You can also use vplayer. Plays everything without the need to convert anything.

Thanks for the suggestions. I did try Handbrake but it completely screwed up on the conversion.
I am trying Kies now (I didn't know Samsung had such a program available until last night) but if not, I might just use a player that plays everything. It makes the most sense.
Thanks again

I really enjoy using Plex as well running on my WHS. They have made some really great improvements in the last couple updates.
I use a DVD Catalyst if I need the files to be stored on my Tab and Plex to stream.
Assuming you're on Windows 7 (or Vista), look for the 'Wildlife' video under Videos -> Sample Videos...Now play that on your Galaxy S2 for some serious AMOLED'gasm.

Weird...It's just a 720p WMV file, played right away on my stock KJ2 player. Whatever custom ROM/video player you're running might not like WMV files, who knows.
Cyanogenmod and miui don't have Samsung media codecs, could be your problem if your running any of those roms.

Some say the Bravia engine does not work on SGS2 and the thread has been locked .

For those missing the Wildlife video, you can get it here:

one another good video is big buck bunny with a 10min length. you can download it here http://www.divx.com/en/hd (on the right side). it is in 1080p
Sadly, only the stock (and stock-derived) ROMs can play these videos for now . It's choppy on everything else (CM7 in my instance).
My fren who own a iphone4 show off that he can lock his phone using a swipe gesture [email protected]@anyway thx for the tips^^
Take off your screen protector and shove the screen to whom your showing it too.
Nah really, look for a high def David Attenborough's wildlife video that your SGS II can playback and enjoy the jealousy of their face.
Looks really good!
