Can anyone recommend a good video player that will play videos without jerking, without stopping and with the recorded sound. Doesn't have to be a freebie, main requirement is quality of playback on A500 v3.2.
Thanks
dice player + plugin for tegra2 and every movie works like a charm.

It really depends. There is NO video player that can play non-baseline 1080p video without stutter, so if you're hoping for such you're out of luck. But for almost all else Dice Player or MX Player should work just peachy.
I use rock player.

Dice player pro works excellently at playing HD movies. MX Player is also a great choice and free.
mx player is the business. Does the job very smoothly.
Have used everything out there except dice and the best one I have found was MX Player. Rock player, mobo player, built in one, and a couple other just couldn't cut it.
MX Player was the only one I could find that would play a 720p mkv without stuttering. I actually searched for a paid version of the app it was so good. They did recently add ads into the free version, but I was more than happy to pay for PRO.

I recommend MX Player. The latest version can do hardware video and software audio at the same time, so AC3 channels can have sound now.
I have tried everything and I think Dice is the best.
It has full Tegra 2 H/W support.
I use MoboPlayer, but I honestly haven't thrown any 1080p content at it yet, so I don't know how well it handles that.

Since your screen isn't capable of playing 1080p content natively, that's not an issue.
haven't tried dice but mx is the best free one by far, however I keep mobo on my tablet because you can completely dim the screen while using HDMI, thus saving some battery.

Is there a good video player that everyone is using? I can't play .avi videos on this. I use mplayer on my HD2 but if I install it on here the ratio is soo small. Any advice?
I'm using qqplayer.
moboplayer si ont too bad also
They are on the Market
I forgot about Plex. If you're trying to play external media on some other device, Plex will work quite nicely.
Still trying out video players. Will update you soon.
i use vplayer
I've actually been using Rock player. You can get the optimized version for Tegra 2 here:

anyone got the hardware decoder working on any player?
I'm using Mobo. I tried Rock player, but the software decoding made the video all jumpy. Not having that problem with mobo

Try using mobo player if you want to play .avi files.

I too find this the most useful one out there. Plays almost everything.
I'm using Vitalplayer. Plays avi mpg and mp4. Thats what I have tried and I'm unsure whats in the containers but it plays it well I think. The avi-file is a 720p file and it looked good with no sync-problems. The mpg is a recording made with Mythtv with highest quality. Flawless playback.
I use Mobo by default but there are times Rock does a better job.

Just tried rockplayer. It made me happy in ways I did not believe were possible.
so after playing with a few of them I think I have settled on mobo player. Its free in the market and seems to work quiet well.
mobo rocks lol...pun intended. both update very often.
yea but is mobo or any other player playing without saving the video first? like you open a email and click preview....

it depends on browser...default browser let u view immediately asking u which video player to stream. opera will save auto. unless you press n hold the link to save it on the default browser.
I have a bunch of videos in the .avi format and I haven't had any luck playing them on my tablet. I downloaded the MoboPlayer I keep hearing about but it just sits on a black screen and never plays. Anyone know what would work with this format?
You could try your luck with Vplayer or RockPlayer. Works great for me
I found Soul Player and that works pretty good. I'll check the ones you mentioned and see how they go as well, and if they run any better.
And the BOMB, MX Video player!
You are all crazy. Moboplayer is the bomb.

Mobo player needs the codec pack installed to work.
Search market for Moboplayer Code and install the proper code pack for your hardware.
which codec's for i500?

ARMV7

MX Player also has the ARMV7 codec set as well.
The difference would be MX Player is ad-suuport where as Mobo Player is free...
I've had good luck with Rockplayer. For some reason I can't get any sound when using Mobo.

AVI is not a format, it's a container that can contain many different kinds of "format", or rather, encoding methods of video. Whether your tablet can play them depends entirely on how they're encoded.
I used to use mobo player, but right after 3.1 update the built in clear.fi player worked for avi. is that just me?
i've tried mx player and vplayer and they're both laggy on 720p files. others?

+1 for dice player. The best player when it comes to performance.
Why? Because it supports hardware decoding of .mkv and lots of other formats.
This is the only player that can play 720p .mkv high profile videos on my desire hd (can't tell about the iconia since i ordered mine yesterday and i'm still waiting for it to arrive )

Diceplayer 1.5.2 seems to work the best out of all I tried the past coupleof days. Many of them would play the video great but not the audio on my test 720p matroska video with AC3 audio. Too bad it's not free, but at least someone is making good stuff that runs well on the Iconia ^_^
went ahead and bought it. i just wish the onscreen buttons dimmed...
Easily the best player out at the moment.
Dice Player... best video player so far. I've been playing with it for a couple of days and it plays 720p well. I've jacked my CPU up to 1.6ghz and Dice is handling 720 downloaded mkvs which is exactly what every other player can't do. (It still works without overclocking but I tried a 6.5GB movie at 1ghz and it was jumpy, TV shows were fine though).
It's not got the prettiest GUI and OK, it's not the most stable, it just stops playing the video sometimes and even force closing the app doesn't get it playing again, you have to reboot... which isn't the most convenient but hey, at least I don't have to spend hours converting mkvs to mp4s!
I haven't tried any 1080 vids because I don't have any and I'm not downloading an 8GB file just to try it.
I've just bought the full version (you get a free 3 day trial to test it out). I am hoping that with my hard earned $3.95 the dev will be able to make it even better.
Try the 3 day trial, seriously.

thats quite contradicting. Have you tried MX Videplayer? It too can plany 720p mkv vids with no issues. and it doesnt have any of the problems you mentioned about. Check out MX and let me know if you still feel the Dice is superior.
The thing that always makes me go "wtf?" is why people would WANT to play high profile 720p or 1080p video on their Xooms.
It'd kind of trash your battery, even if you could get it to work software-wise.
Much better to handbrake to a format where the GPU can do all the heavy lifting.
I tested it for 3 days and ended up buying. It plays 720 mkv files better than MX Player. I convert movies with Handbrake but don't want to take the time with TV shows. It's nice to just move them over the wifis with File Manager HD and watch them when I can.
What I like best about Dice is that it can play everything. I don't like switching players for formats. All the old wmv from when my son was born play fine, avi, etc.
The dev is pretty active in the Transformer forum. Seems like they try hard to make the player better.
Dice and Mizzu Movies make a nice combo.

Just tried MX Player - it's not playing the files that Dice is. It's playing Entourage at 720 but very jumpy and no sound and it's just force closing when trying to play Ironclad or Platoon 720 mkvs. Basically the same results as Mobo player.
Also, don't care about battery, I'm using the Xoom mostly on 1hr long train journeys to and from work. I just want to be able to download a TV ep in the morning, transfer it to the Xoom and go. I can do that now without messing about re-encoding them with Handbrake/Badaboom etc.

Most? I wouldn't say so. If you're downloading 720p content, chances are it's high profile and in those cases the video players you mentioned won't play it. Dice Player is the only one that's played everything I've thrown at it.

I figure if it's something I'm going to use every day and it helps towards the development of an even better app, 4 bucks isn't a lot of money.
I'd much rather pay that and know it's going towards a quality product than mess around with re-encoding.
Well, it is the better mkv hd 720p player. But it is not perfect yet. Some 720p movies don't play. And 1080p don't play too. But I recommend, because play smooth many tittles.
Is there a video player that can properly play 720p mkv videos? It seems like all that I've tried are glitchy.

I've always used MX player, but i'm hoping to see good things from VLC for android once it comes out of beta.
I also use MX Player. If the video or sound isn't working, switch between the H/W and S/W decoding modes. I haven't run into any problems yet.
MX

I use BSPlayer too and also stream from a networked hard drive flawlessly. I also like the fact that when I play a new movie, it would automatically search, suggest a list of and download subtitle files for me if I don't already have one. :good:
I have a 6.5 GB 720p mkv file. Here's my experience on the Nexus 7:
Dice Player: Surprisingly doesn't recognize it. It used to play everything. Oh well...
VLC player: Crashes.
Real Player: Cannot recognize it.
BSPlayer: Plays is flawlessly, except the audio is a bit on the low side. Not sure I'd hear it with headphones on a plane.
MX player: No audio.
I hope that helps. BS Player is what I'll be using from here on till someone has another suggestion that works.
