Yes I know this can be done.
No, I don't know how.
I downloaded a 1080p video and says, "Error Playing" or "Invalid Format"
The file was MP4
Do I have to convert it to DivX HD?
Or some other format?
Has anyone gotten to play at least 720p other than the Avatar Movie?
I know I have tried to play 720p using the converter called Handbrake. I'll test a 1080p vid that Handbrake encoded and see if it will play on my phone later. I'll report back.

Im not having that luck, MP4 is not supported on my phone
Files that won't play for me seem to be more of an audio issue than video. I think it's the audio codecs that were preventing playback, still got a lot of testing to do on this front. I sometimes have a video start playing fine and after 3s a "vidoe player cannot play this file" pops up.
Don't know what you're talking about? I just converted a movie to MP4 format just the other night, and it plays just fine on my phone. You've gotta be doing something wrong?
My phone plays everything I've slapped on my sdcard... Mp4s exp... And its beautiful...

Mpeg4 wordplay for me, but it's video only. Absolutely no audio.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
it was probably an mp4 using AAC audio instead of AC3. I discovered this when I found the built in video player wouldn't play audio on some of my MKV files that Rockplayer would.
Yeah, I've been extremely impressed with video playback. I think there is an app called rockplayer you may want to try (though the format you mentioned seems to work for most)

I saw some specs and while back and remember seeing that the phone was avi-capable. I loaded an avi video on the sdcard and it won't play. Something about drm licensing comes up. What gives? There shouldn't be drm restrictions on an avi I downloaded from a torrent.

It can play .avi. it can play any file format as long as there is an app written to decode it. Was it a pop-up that said the DRM thing it did it look like it could have been in the video itself. Sometimes the torrents screw you over and that's all that shows up when you play them

thanks. it must be an app then since it plays fine on my pc
MODS...PLEASE DELETE
avi is just a container. The video file inside the avi is what matters, the video format is probably not supported.

You can download Rock Player Lite to play your .AVI files. It plays my videos well. Hope this helps.
mine plays .avi but the ones i played, the video/audio isn't synced, and it's not like that on the computer...gonna try yxplayer and see if it works better..
Mine played avi files just fine. No problems. You should try remux it to a mp4 using YAMB.
vplayer works great if there are subtitles... minus the ads
qqplayer does great if you dont need subs
just what I tinkered with so far
rockplayer does great until you load up a 720p file
I've been using arcMedia and it's working great

I had this problem with my incredible cause I want to play digital copies on my phone but there is embedded drm that a computer will play but android wont at the moment... it has nothing to do with being bootleg cause I tried a legal copy and it didn't work
I downloaded a short clip video from a website on to my phone. It's a .wmv file about 8 megs in size, when I try to play it back in rockplayer it playsback very slow, like it's in slow motion. Yet when I playback a video recorded by the phone playback is normal and smooth.
Anybody know why?

What media player are you using to view the file?

wmv files are always a pain in the ass, they always play slower than usual if they are really using the wmv codecs, this is seems more a codec issue than a phone issue.
Have you tried other files with same extension?
hook the file to the computer and check the codec using Media Player classic from K-lite codec pack, on the properties you can see the codec used.
If on your computer the file get heavy/slower to jump from one time to other this is for sure a codec issue.
Do you get any additional lags anywhere?
Maybe the version of rock player that you are using is not the good one for your phone.
Are you using hardware acceleration? (rockplayer config)

Yes I am using whatever the latest of rockplayer is.
No I'm not using hardware acceleration. Where do I get that?!
Gladbto know it's more a codex issue than a phone thing. Still annoying though.
So is an easy fix to use hardware acceleration? !

You can try QQPlayer if it ends up being a codec issue, or system player will even play some wmv.
Is it a 720p video? High resolution or bitrate could be the problem too. Hd video is just impractical to use on x10 unless it's from the video camera.
Stick with sd mp4 trailers if you can find them.

I'm trying to play some converted video files with srt subtitles. I converted some MKV files to MP4 and extracted the subtitles as a srt file with the same file name but no video players I've tried detect the subs. I've tried Rockplayer, Meridian, and Mvideoplayer. Any advice?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Why not just play them as mkv? I mean I know they're bigger if you don't convert them but still it saves you the hassle of conversion. I personally use moboplayer btw.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
Because playing the MKV gives me an unsupported file message.

All of my anime, movies, and tv shows play fine as mkv. The 1080p and some of the 720p might not play smoothly but they play. Try a different video player from the market. Also try soft decoding on mobo it has helped on some for me.

What is your favorite software for ripping your DVD's & putting movies on your GS4? I've used handbrake, got something better? I usually just use Netflix, but sometimes I have a long wait for an appointment & will watch DVD's that I've just bought (new releases).
DVDFab. Rip to mp4.

+1 for Magic DVD Ripper. I rip them as AVIs, and use MX Player, to view them.
^ same.
Freemake video converter or DVDFab
Personally I use Freemake Video Converter... Have always had the best results that way.
I use Cucu Soft DVD ripper. Also have YouTube ripper and file converter from them.
Don't use any ripping. Just download mp4, mkv, and avi movies and put 'em straight on my SD Card. MX Player FTW.
I rip with Fairmount and Encode with Handbrake and Metadata with Meta- software
DVD Catalyst -> http://tools4movies.com/
Does the best job converting movies for my GS4, GS3, Z10, Thunderbolt, Xoom, iPads, Playbook, and other mobile devices.

Wait, you can confirm that it (stock Sammy video app) plays MKVs? Or only MXPlayer does?

MX Player. Watched Fast 6 like that.

Why not just use showbox? Or even xbmc with a 1channel zip file. I got both on my s4.
