+1 on mx video player, supports every format and handles software and hardware acceleration. Not.to mention native dual core optimization.
Mx player
MX player only suports Native supported formats(MKV,AVI,MP4) with HW video acceleration.
Others formats are supported by SW Mode.
Diceplayer supports HW video accel. on any formats with H.264/MPEG-4 codecs.
im choosing between dice and mobo

I use vplayer on both my Acer a500 tablet and my amaze. Plays my mkv's really well.

QQPlayer
Chuck Norris can but Walker Texas Ranger can't.
Tried them all. Three months ago I would have said mx was king, but now dice is. Plays everything well. On device or over the network.

why dice? i tried it out per your comment and its pretty hardcore riddled with ads, i didnt see a paid version.
though its network capabilities were definitely noticeable.
im still geared towards mx as far as compatability and fluidity.

LoL. Don't we all hate ads... Get ad blocker if that helps or get paid version
Here is link -> Paid Version.
If you have movie files that are really big, MX Player cant handle it for some reason, be it local or over the network. It is so so so so laggy. And its pointless converting (main reason being size. 720p/1080p files are BIG) everything you download just so you can watch on your mobile when there is no computer near by. So i found two solutions to this, either use plex or dice. And YES MX Player is a solid player no doubt, but for the reasons above, i prefer dice.
Im feelin mobo thanks for the feedback from everybody..

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.

In the sea of video players, which one is the best on our Evo(lution) 3D machine?
Currently using BS Player Lite but its kinda buggy, and some videos are lagging.
Best one by far (IMO) is MX Video player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&hl=en
Totally smooth with a lot of good features. And the UI is clean, you can choose between white and black. And 3D works on it as well

Downloaded the free version but it is real laggy using the hardware decoder but fast using the s/w fast decoder. I saw a bunch of other MX downloads for cpu types but didn't see anything for the evo 3d unless I am missing something.

As you said, updates are based on CPU, not on phone model so Its normal you was unable to find it.

You have to install codeks for using

The normal version is the one I use. Via software decoding as that's super fast and works perfectly
MXPlayer is great . . . but there's the occasional frameskipping with 1080P content.
Diceplayer, for that reason - is better on our phones. It's one of the few apps I've decided to pay for. Smooth 1080P playback - and it's regularly updated.
It's funny though - that depending on the device, MXPlayer might be the better option regardless of price. Diceplayer appears to have fine tuned hardware decoding on the Evo3D.

Holy crap, Mobo Player is far from the best video player. For the Evo 3D at least, it's terrible.
Based on the positive reviews on this thread, I downloaded and installed it to see if recent updates might have improved performance since the last time I tried it.
Playing the same 1080P DTS sample file I use to test, Mobo flickers (frameskips) when playing the video track with hardware decoding. It utterly fails to play the audio - unless you use software decoding, and then the whole video plays in slow motion.
Both MX Player and Diceplayer are far superior. Both can use hardware decoding for the video, and software for the 5.1 audio. Diceplayer performs a little better, no frameskipping. Both do great over HDMI.
Besides that - swapping between HD files, moboplayer locked up my phone completely so that holding power wouldn't allow me to shut down. I had to do a battery pull.
Anyone knows video player that shuffles videos?

Just got a Galaxy SIII, and I've been trying to watch videos on it. Some work fine, but a few don't, and I don't know if it's the format, but they look like this

That's an MKV file, I also had videos I took on my iPhone that I moved to the Galaxy, and those were MOV format, and none of them work. When I plug the phone into my computer and go to my SD card and play them off of there on my computer, it seems just fine, so I don't know, what could the problem be?
bump, would really appreciate some input
Some video files still have to be converted, or u could try using mobo player. Thats better than mx player

Mxplayer if you use freaky-deaky codecs that you could basically only play using VLC player on your PC.
Stock for everything else. Stock plays a lot of different containers and codecs, and it has S Pen integration which makes it that much sweeter.
I was using MX Player. I'm now trying BSPlayer. So far it's great. Plays all the videos stock doesn't and MX did. I like BS because of the popup player. I find that very useful.
thanks guys

How are these other players better than the stock
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app
Stock for me, same for all five android phones I've owned.
Act 1 for me.
I like Dice-player best of all because it could handle some odd subtitles that nohting else could (at the time). Recently bsplayer now handles those subtitles and it has a nice interface but I've gotten quite use to dice and have no complaints. I used to like mx and mobo player but once I started using dice I dropped them - when I was recently re-testing the subtittle issue (and noticed bsdplayer update) I found mx (or was it mobo?) quite awkward (these things tend to be moving targets since all 4 of them are constantly updating). Anyways for now (as I have for the past year) will stick with dice as the primary and then use bsplayer as the fallback. I suppose if one day those two can't handle the video I'll recheck mx and mobo. Btw they are all quite small so there is little reason to not have all of them installed. Um - there was some issue with dice and google a while ago and the eventual outcome was the paid version was removed and the free version no longer has ads.
Anyways I think the gut of these players are all quite similar (ffmpeg) and it is just a question of interface and which one is updated most often (though it does appear that each does have some local mods; at least dice have). I have no clue why dice was the only one to support the specific subtitles I used for 9+ months but that with the clean user interface was a deciding factor for me.

For be I was studying for a registry exam and the 14 in depth videos I needed were unsupported on stock. They did play great on mx though. So basically they support a wider range of formats.

BSPlayer works fest for me, MX Player is a bit slower and has problems with some files.
This is in newest update already. I like MX's Interface Bettler though
Even with the update MX player still slightly stutters with mkv files I have tried 720p and 1080p
For me MX better (smoother) plays mkv 720p on software decoding.
