What Video Player works best for arc?

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?

That would I also like to know.
Edit: Mostly for the .sub files. I have tried Mobo, Rock, QQ, and Vitalplayer and none of them supports .sub files as far as I can see.

I use rockplayer for my series n movies, srt files are working well.

Yes +1 for the mobo player.
I use dvd Fab for all my movies,it also gives you the option to hard encode subtitles in the movie file.

I can confirm Moboplayer supports SRT subtitles. As best I can tell, it looks at your video's filename, and then looks for the same filename except ending in .SRT. ALL CAPS file extention was the only way I could get it to work. Good luck!

Try Mx player from market. It has an option to play in full screen and also to employ hardware acceleration /software acceleration.

dice player is good too!! give it ago!

If you get Freemaker video converter, which is free, for your PC you can convert your videos.
I use Act 1 Video player because it let's you zoom the size.

Qq player work great

mx video player. Avi file with srt greek subs. works perfect.

another person for mx player

I've tried about every player available -- BSPlyer Lite, VPlayer, MoboPlayer. MX Player is all around the best - the only player that streams avi movies from SMB share (used with FS File Explorer). I also like MoboPlayer.
I believe the best player for Tegra 2 is DicePlayer - paid ARM 7. It sucks that the paid version is not available and who knows, may never be available from Android Market. VLC is still in beta - looking forward to that one!
Does anyone know what's going on with Dice? Seems like they pissed someone at Google off...

+1 to MX Player, plays everything I have thrown at it, if not in H/W then in S/W mode. Loads subs, dims buttons and resumes play even from LAN.

Best mkv player with subs

Hey, until now im using the inbuild player. im mostly watch mkv and i like to know which is the best for mkv with srt subs?
b.t.w when i load srt i dont see the right latters its shows @#%$^ instad of hebrew.

I like mx player, but I've heard some prefer bs player.

Based on my personal expierence MX Video Player is the best one out there. It could play some videos that VLC on my PC had trouble with (10bit mkv).
Still it had slow performance due to resolution and software rendering but it's much better than MoboPlayer or diceplayer, which couldn't play it at all.
Here's link if you're interested:

MX Player stay the best for moment. Can't wait for a rc candidate about vlc

Hands down mx player

Mx pkayer definitely
~§~

i prefere dice player

Dice Player for me is the best
MX Video Player lags a lot with 10bit mkvs under SW mode while Dice Player implements some kind of unnoticeable frame skipping to keep the video and audio in sync
Dice Player's downside though is it cannot play 1080p videos, for that i use MX Video Player
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App

Mx player is faraway first. Somee times i use mobo player.

Mx Player too. Since you barely notice the difference between 720p and 1080p movies on the Note anyway.. It never lets me down. And I watch a lot of movies and series on it. The subs look nice too.

+1 MX Player
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Wow, thats mx player is great and the subs function is working great. Plays mkv with subs with no problam.

Video player?

Hey guys, any idea about a good video player , which one should I chose ?

I'm using MX Player, it's perfect!

> if your on ICS.. and you only play videos on your local storage.. use MOBO player.. better soft decoding playback than Mx.. hd videos plays no lag... but if you use youtube.. Mx is will be appropriate.
> and one more thing.. if your asking questions.. post it on Q/A section here.

^+1
I recommend MX player with ARMv6 VFP codec.. you will find both in play store!!

Dude,practically it is impossible to play any hd video on ics on our device.
So don't confused on video players choice.
The main problem in ROM;not in lg p500.

Devs have already tried a lot to hack omx and got partial success, that's why we are able to play videos on ICS!
If in future there would be any full hack, we'll get to know

The mx player is perfect for lg p500,other option for u might be moboplayer both with arm6 codec.

I've been using mx player for the last year and there has NEVER been a bug or problem and plays every format.

MX player is the best. the new update brings a new feature h/w+ which works on p500 and makes it the best video player

encode video to nexus 7

hey
i was looking for a program to convert my videos so i can watch them optimally on the nexus 7
any suggestions?
thanks
Ariel

I don't think you need to re-encode your videos. Personally, I just use MX player. It supports almost all video formats. You can download the app for free on the Play Store.

+1 for MX Player.
Can't say I've found a video it won't play tbh.

Bs player works better for me. Mx sometimes degrades picture quality.

+1 for MX player. So far plays anything I've thrown at it.
1080p Anime MXV files no problem.
Only files I have had problems with were ones that were poorly encoded.
