What are the format of video and audio that the our phone (Motorola Photon 4G) can play with the stock player?
Thanks to anyone who reads or replies.

H.263, H.264, MPEG4, 3GP, MP4

Thank you Sir,
I couldn't find that info in the books that came with the phone ...
Again thanks.
There is still no greater codec for phones IMO than the Samsung Galaxy S series, not counting the Samsung Nexus S models ...

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.

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'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?

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.

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.

hi guys, i just got myself this tablet and im loving it, im trying to play mkv files on the tablet but the player i have been using on my phone doesnt work that well on the tablet, (QQplayer)
what do ye recommend to play mkv files
MXplayer.....
and witch codec is it? or you dont install any codecs?
No codecs needed
I think BS Player Lite is better then MX Player. MX stopped support for DTS decoding and MX plays AC3 on SW mode and not HW. BS Lite has it's own HW engine and play AC3 on HW mode.
I agree, Bsplayer also have lan mode to stream without problems from my pc
Tried BS Player and it works fine! Plays Mkv without any problem and with sound
thank you for the suggestion

Yeah, I agree. I was using MX Player and was getting the force close issue where it intermittently quits playback. I changed to BS Player and no more issues.

I'm using MX Player for long time now and I had no problems with it (pro version).
Other interesting video player is:
Super Video, Floating & Popup

Mostly because of floating feature

I used Rock Player but have now switched to BS player, working well.
BS player lite too...
I don't need MX anymore since i'm able to lock android buttons directly from OS
(BS player is not offering any lock option)
I tried XBMC yesterday but it seems to use installed codec...

How can you get the VLC player on TF300T ?
I went to Google play and didn't show any VLC player (even Beta).
I like VLC player on my PC. It can play almost anything (avi,mkv, iso, vob, etc...)
Thank you.
MX Player Pro - plays everything I through at it (.avi .divx .mkv .mp4, ect)

It doesn't decode DTS audio anymore.
Ok, I have searched a lot on the internet and couldn't find and couldn't find a explanation to my problem. The thing is the I can't get my device to use the H/W decode on HD videos, I have tried a lot of softwares mx player, v player, dice player. I can watch a video that uses the 700x400 for example and the same encoded video in 1280x720 doesn't play, all that come out is sound. In both cases I am using the H/W... I have seem a lot of people saying that HD video works flawless on galaxy s2 if it isn't 10 bit encoded, so I am at a loss here, the S/W one is pretty laggy on my HD videos, that is why I won't use it...
Any leads?

I suppose you're using a non - sammy based custom rom, something like Cyanogenmod, due to Samsung closed source driver's h/w decoder won't properly work on Aosp Roms.

I just played 'Hobbit an Unexpected Journey' 1080p on my device, resolution 1920x800,frame rate 23.9, bit rate 2.0Mbit/sec . And it worked flawlessly. So try flashing a different stock rom.

Could you post a highly( just 30 seconds would be enough) trimmed version of the file you're trying to play. Usually all types of hd mkv's has worked flawlessly for me (even in Cyanogenmod.. Lol). If you could, post it in a zip file here.

Yes, I reproduced your same problem, as I thought that particular file encoding is not properly supported(h/w gives audio only, and s/w gives lags) normal 1080p, HD mkv's do play perfectly though just checked it out, If you wanna play that video just use a converter and create a lossless mp4, that should work fine anyway.

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
