Hey, just got my touchpad and was wondering if there are any free file managers or media players for the touchpad, i put a video on the root of the hdd but cant seem to find the video anywhere in the os!

Internalz Pro from Preware for the file manager is the best free file manager available. I haven't tried Gemini so I cannot compare but Gemini is a paid app.
for the Media Player, have you tried Kalemsoft? I don't think there is the ultimate free media player yet. VLC would be cool but devs showed zero interest in porting it to webOS. MPlayer would be the best bet but I don't know where the dev is at this point.
also where is the XDA app for webOS? I've never seen that one :/
Touchplayer, is just as good as Kalemsoft media player, with the added benefit that it free through preware.
search on precentral website for details
Does Touchplayer support subtitles?
I'm desperately searching for a player with subtitles support
+1 on Internalz Pro

can someone tell me how to copy movies onto my phone i love avatar with my a2dp bt headphones but want more movies to watch help someone ?
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.

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!

What is the best video player that works pretty good on the atrix and plays a good number of different formats
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Mobo Player
Second that, free, stable and feature rich
mVideoPlayer. Never failed me.
Hi there, I think I might try out these recommended video players. But before I do, I wondered if anyone could let me know why the videos I'm copying across to the phone (divx AVI episodes of TV shows downloaded via BitTorrent) don't stretch to the full size of the screen?
I have tried RockPlayer and yxplayer and what appears to be the standard 'video player'. yxplayer doesn't appear to do anything (or can't play divx AVI files), the other two play it in the centre of the screen with heaps of space around the sides.
When I play the same files on my TV through my PVR, they stretch to fit my TV screen dimensions and look really sharp. Was hoping the same would occur on the phone, so I would have something to watch on tomorrow's interstate flight.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also try qqplayer which can actually play a 1080p mkv file. though it will run very slow it still tries at least unlike most players!
Anyone know of any player that can fill the screen WITHOUT stretching the picture (in other words, it zooms in to fill the screen). I had that on windows mobile but have never found an Android player that does this.

Try taking a look at arcMedia.
Mobo Player.
I prefer mVideoplayer because it will display the folders that I have my videos in. I have over a 100 tv episodes for 7 to 8 different shows and not having them organized by folder drives me crazy.

Try using the soft-decoding for the file or possibly re-encoding it.

I have tried various apps. I have been able to connect to my network browse all files. Its just when I go to play the file it says wrong format. The funny thing is I can place these files on my vibrants SD and play them fine...
I am using trigger redux cm7 and loving it!!!!!
Anyone lol?

Files will stream if they are encoded to do so and are in a format that the vibrant can play. Mp4 files with the file info in the header would be your best bet.
Another option would be to use a streaming server/client solution like box stream and convert.it is available in the market.

What do you mean by "in the header " and I tried getting both those apps couldn't find anything pertaining to streaming or encoding.

When you have the Vibrant then you have AllShare preinstalled...you use it?
Cause with AllShare you can watch all the vids that are on your PC via Mediaplayer...all you have to do is, add the Moviefolder to the Mediaplayer Libary and you are good to go.
I have no trouble at all streaming everything to my phone, only old codec versions like XVID or DIVX are making problems, but those are really old.
Hi,
1) I tried to look at the video site from OEAMTC (Austrian Touring Club) - http://tv.oeamtc.at -and the stock browser is not able to playback the videos there.
Actually I tried Doplhin and Opera as well, same issue. WIth Mozilla I could finally playback (very laggy) and download the files. They are .webm videofiles and can playback with ALL video Appy I have on my phone. Stock as well as QicPic and MX Player.
I also could playback the files when using the stock internet browser on my Nexus S, so any idea why the stock browser on SGS2 makes troubles on these videos???
2.) When opening the accuweather from the widged, then going to more / details, it always opens accuweather in english, altough I set my preference on accuweather homepage to german. Is there any setting identifying the browser to prefer german????? Any setting in Accuweather application that brings up the webpage in German? haven't found anything.
Thanks

Can anyone confirm the behavior??

I found out the following:
.webm files cannot be opened with stock file manager, as they seem not to be known (unknown filetype) altough they are known by Rhytm Software'S Filemanager (and can be opend as Video file) or as they can be associated with Astro File Manager.
Is there any way to tell the Samsuns System that this file is a videofile and should be opend with e.g. MX PLayer? I guess then I can directly stream it from Internet application....
Any ideas?
Can anyone check.. would really like to know if this behaviour is normal...
In the meantime I do not expect that there is a possible fix.

ya there is a way..
go to my files and select any video file..
click on it..
a pop-up should appear asking you which program should be used to play the file..
check the use as default button and then select the mx player..
from now on whenever you play a video.. it will open in mx player unless you open it via gallery
also while streaming online you cant select a particular app through which the browser will play the vid..

Thanks. Actually for general purpose I could link MX Player to the .webm fileformat, and that also works.
For the Samsung Stock file browser as well as internet browser it still and immediately tells: this file type not supported, no program can run it....(and this although on astro file manager its already assigned to MX player.) So not even a chance to assign it by the normal way...

Tubemate, using on CM9 without a problem.

Maybe try using a user script (usersscripts.org) which allows you to download the video, possibly also the audio track? These are snippets of Javascript which inject themselves into specific sites when you're viewing them. I use one named "YouTube to MP4" on Firefox on my desktop PC. Since the Android browsers are fully functional I expect the same option applies there.
For this option, Firefox requires Greasemonkey addon, but I believe it's a native option on Opera and Chrome.
Also try tubeGod(tubex) its no longer in the market so you have to search for it(its free so no problems)
Much better quality than tubemate imo and mp3s dont come as large as tubemate either
I extracted the audio from a video a few days ago
Tubemate(17mb)
TubeGod(1mb)

Tubemate's file size is big because it downloads the whole MP4 video and renames it as MP3.
