I found out now that converting everything to HD AVC H.264 mp4 480*360 works well without hiccups for me.
I use Format Factory to convert, which is free. The UI sucks but it converts okay.

its cause of the missing hardware decoders... in anycase u can try software-mode players like RockPlayer... there is also a thread regarding alternatives to RockPlayer...

divx or xvid (mpeg4 visual) can be played by x10 and almost all smartphones, BUT .avi extension is the one who the phone can't play.
just mux into mp4 your avi file (without recompress, take about a minute) with a program like YAMB or staxrip and your x10 will can play perfectly this file with movie player or meridian
I think he means, why can't it play them smoothly.
Yes, we can, just mux avi video an m4a audio into mp4 container without recompress the video and playback will be smoothly

Problem Playing Movies!!

Ok for last couple of days i've been trying to play movies on my x10. I've tried many players from the market and so far the results are:
Stock Player: Couldn't start/play any of the file.
Arc Media: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
Soul Movie: This video cannot be played! Please contact to the phone maker!
mVideoPlay: Sorry, this video cannot be played.
QQPlayer: Starts but wouldn't play anything (Force close when trying to go back)
MX Video Player: Starts well, loads subtitles and goes on for 5-10 mins with a little lag (which is fine for me) then starts to lag like hell and then video goes out of sync.
The video I'm trying to play is a BRrip, resolution is 1280x528 and is in mp4 format. (HD music video's I've downloaded from youtube seems to work fine with any player which is in same resolution) Some other movies in .avi format and lower resolution would play in some of that player but lags like hell.
NOTE: I've tried to set different settings of different player such as hardcoding and softcoding but they didn't work.
Any suggestion guys??
So only that BRrip doesn't play? You say youtube vids are ok...
Try Vplayer Pro, it works smoothly in my phone, so far i havent meet lags when playing any vids.

Ough..BRip in MP4..you mean in MP4 extention, isn't it..
Try to convert it to 720p resolution and change the Video Codec to Mpeg4 H264..
Can't play coz the resolution is not support by the player/phone..I guess..

No need of any conversion buddy, install mobo player from Market. Its free app. It actually plays anything u throw at it. Using it for over five months now. Plays even youtube .flv HD files flawlessly (Make sure the resolution is 720 or less). All the best...
Convert it to the same res as the x10, rather than letting the x10 do it on the fly. Your bound to get better results.
Try Mobo player. Plays any format and supports subtitles in .srt format. It would be nice to have option to change audio tracks in dual-audio files but at least works flawlessly.

Ok guys I tried mobo player it works, I mean it plays the file but it lags and gradually goes out of sync. This time the file was even in lower resolution. But convert seems to work fine. Now im gonna try different movies in different resolution and check which works and which not. Then I'll let u guys know. But in the mean time can u guys suggest me some good converter for x10? And the settings for those converter. I use Avs converter but its slow as hell.
Oh and guys I'm on cm7, just so u know.

MP4 is a simple format and can be easily played on our x10 on 720p(1280x576,1280x720)
MKV is used in Blu-rays now a days...
It can have many audios like a movie in 2 languages...
I play it in my x10 dual audio 720p...
The main thing is use doomkernel and overclock to 1228Mhz in interactive mode use MX video player.
Sorry if it sounds noobish but how do I use doomkernel and overclock in enteractive MODE?

I've found doomkernel to flash but can u link me to overclock?

I'll never understand why people want to watch 720p on a non-hd device. It's only eating up your resources.
Whether or not you can play videos depends on bitrate mostly but there are other reasons vids won't play. Just because 1 720p movie works doesn't mean they all will.

[Request] MKV 3D Video Players

Anyone know which players support mkv format in 3D?
The built-in player cannot play mkv format; vplayer supports mkv but 3D
Or anyone know how to install codecs for the built-in video player?
look like impossible
Have you tried RockPlayer? I know that it's capable of playing both mkv and 3D videos. Pretty sure I've played a 3D mkv video using it as well. Been a while, so I can't remember for sure, but it's worth a shot.
Vplayer dont wirk on cm7 Sent my trollpital bed
MX Video player works great at playing MKV files
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad
You can also install the ARM 7 codec to improve performance
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mxtech.ffmpeg.v7_vfpv3d16
Yeah, MX player works and is what I use.

This player cant play 3D. Or can? How?
I believe Mobo player will play them.
No. Only one 3D player is default player. Unfortunately. Or not?
if you already have a 3d video downloaded from youtube use bsplayer. it plays all formats.
if you want to watch some chinese 3d video download 3dvplayer.only mp4 format.
Try this...

Video encoding for playback on note?

I am coming from a Tegra 2 device (my atrix). When encoding videos for the Atrix, even though it can support 720p content, many videos converted via handbrake and ripbot wouldn't work with it unless base h264 profile was used. What video encoding settings can be used on the note? What all can it play? I love the device, just still learning about the differences technically from it and my old moto.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The Note can play alot. I don't have a list but this is what I know of the top of my head.
Divx
XVID
Divx Hd
MKV files
Mp4 (with h264)
I havent tried any WMV yet but I doubt it would work. Really this thing will play just about anything out there that you might download, provided they have an avi, Mp4 or Mkv extension.
As for Handshake settings, really anything under 1080p video and 2 channel audio should play fine.
I hope that helps a little.

WMV works, see : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24046670&postcount=3
Using MX Video Player, I can play just about anything in Hardware mode. Seems like the only thing I couldn't get to work (and I wasn't surprised) was 10bit encoded Anime.
I should note that MX Video Player + Galaxy Note is amazing. Now I just need a sweet case to come out (that I like) with a kickstand.

[Q] How to play .MKV files smooth?

Hey there...
I'm new into DNA and HTC. I have some movies in .MKV format. Whem I play them with the regular HTC player they are NOT smooth. I downloaded some Video Players from the Play Store, and I got the same result: I can't play .MKV video files in a smooth way with my DNA. I searched a little bit, and seems to be that HTC only plays .MP4 files and the rest of formats should be converted to MP4.
Is that true? Any experience or suggestion for this problem?
Thanks!

Is your dna rootable? Have you tried mx player?
Unfortunately is not rootable since it has the 2.04 software version. Yeah, I tried MX Player by itself and then try it using the MX Player Codec (ARMv7). But no luck...
Try converting the video and change the file format. That should produce a smoother playback. That's what I do at least.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
In MX Player try using S/W decoding reather than H/W decoding, most of my mkvs work for me that way.
Try MOBOPlayer its free and plays all my videos super smooth, plus has the pop out feature to watch video while like reading for instance. My mkv's are in 720p ac3 stereo 192kbps if that helps. The gpu works best with the MP4 format though with baseline at id say 8000kbps max.. grab something like mediacoder which is free to encode with for testing.
Thanks guys! Using Mobo Player with soft decode solved my problem. Appreciate it guys...
