I did the drag and drop thing but still will not play movies. The movies are digital copies that you get when you buy a blueray if that matters? Also I had to extract them from my Itunes library. which is the samething i did for my music and it workes fine. I am also using mobo player. it showes me the movie just can not play it

You might have to convert the files or download an app that supports more file ranges because stock only supports a handful. I'm not sure if moboplayer does this, but you can try vplayer which I believe does.. personally I have all my movies as avi files and use vitalplayer

It's the copy protection in the digital copies. I've never been able to play digital copies on any of my Android phones because of the copy protection. Try downloading a program like DVDFab and rip your movies into M4V format and they play on Mobo Player or even the stock player just fine. If you do a search you can find a post I made a few months back about what settings to use to rip them for best quality.
Thanks for all the help

You need to find a dvd converter that will make it into an mp4 format then connect your phone to your computer and move the file to your phone

Torrent some files and them just drag and drop them to your external sd on your phone

Search for Handbrake. Its free and it will do it just fine.
I play Xvid, Dvix, Mp4, M4v on mine all the time.
Find a dvd copier and rip the disk to you're computer. Then download a free program called format factory (can change the file type and quality very easily) pick a file type and format (.3gp, .mp4, .avi, .flv, .wmv, work on the vibrant)

Download a program on your computer called Vuze. The updated version allows you to convert downloaded movies right into Vibrant compatible format.
rockplayer will play just about any format as well
My 2 cents are on format factory

I tried handbrake it tells me the file is copyrighted cannot copy

I want to say that there is a windows program called "Granny Smiths" that will allow your dvds to be converted by hand brake. I was having the same problem a while back. I was able to use hand brake on my "King of Queens" dvds after using G Smiths. Or... Haven't got to test it yet but you can go to frostwires site and pick up an android app. Got it a couple of days ago for free
Should be able to go to www.cnet/downloads for that first one.

I use the swarm app along with rockplayer app. Swarm is a bit torrent app that works great on vibrant phones.

Hey I use realplayer converter for all my movies. I haven't had any problems using it.
Your Vibrant can play DVD's, just jam a disc into the microUSB port and it should begin playing.

+1 on Handbrake. I used to use it all the time when I had to convert everything to .mp4 for iTunes. On the Vibrant, I use RockPlayer, which plays every video format... basically...
Thread moved to Q&A.
Found it its called dvd fab works awesome 1 touch convert to mp4 or avi try it thanks guys

I use the video converter from freemake.com.... its free and works great!

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
Does anyone know where movies that you download on the Watch app are located. I would like to be able to place mine downloaded movies into that folder so they could show up in the Watch Widget.
Basically I want to be able to say download a video file not using the watch app but use the watch app and widget to play the videos
I could be wrong, but i think watch is streaming only.
Crap because I love how the widget looks. O well.
On mine it stores the downloaded movies to the sdcard/.data/HtcWatch/files/

Yes, you are wrong. It's "progressive downloading" meaning basically that you watch it as it downloads (giving you the same functionality as streaming but you get to keep a copy for later on without having to worry about an internet connection).

Thank you for that.
Now it seems like the only other problem is Watch can only play .mp4
Well I tried to place a .mp4 into that file location and I still can not get the file to show up in the widget. Their must be something else going on that I am not smart enough to figure out. O well.
It only reads wav or wmv I think

No if you go into that folder torseni5t posted you will see that the preloaded trailers are .mp4
I downloaded a movie from my computer to my phone, and when i go to play the movie it says " cannot play movie" I'm sure its cuz its in "Avi" format. Can anyone please recommend a new video player so that I can watch my movies on my break time I've seen some thread some were but I cannot seem to find it

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.
I'm using Magic DVD Ripper.
Why not just use showbox? Or even xbmc with a 1channel zip file. I got both on my s4.

Just converted blu-ray avatar to 1080p for my s4 just to see how it looked. Worked great using makemkv and handbrake. Had to convert my sdcard to exfat for the 7gig file but looked and sounded great
