i have 3 video players on here and 1 doesnt read anything. i have mostly mpg and divx. and the other 2 wont allow me to get back to the main menu. i have to forward the video all the way to the end to have the list of videos come back up again. can someone recommend a good video player. im willing to pay for one doesnt have to be free
I use Mx video player.
use mx video player [the free version which has ad's] and select specific file folders for the app to read from. that way you will only have to go through the videos you specifically want to watch.
the only difference between the free and paid is ads versus no ads.

Hello
Im looking for a media player that can reproduce all possible formats (mostly videos). Something like VLC for Android would be nice.
Anything out there?
Rockplayer is awsome, but it's only for videos, and it's not free either, but worth the $, so far it played any video I threw at it. Videos over 2GB tend to play a bit slow though.
Vplayer alpha is your best bet. It is free and it supports all fortmas.

Also option is to get xiisoft (take regard of name typo) video converter who got a lot of profiles to optimise playing from multiple different devices and such, one of those profiles includes lot of android devices.
To just span the options here.

I see it is free but just has ads at the bottom (of the program I assume; Not during playback)
Thats alright.
can we get a new thread on this? i would liek to know what to use
i think MX player is the best one or else you can go for paid player they will give more formats and mx player is best for watching videos and also you can add custom subtitle and there is an option like video play back hahaha it is very interesting while lock the phone and listing audio without video.
so the tab won't play all sorts of files, even some MPEG-4 it won't play. Is there a decent app out there that I can use rather than going through the hassle of trying to convert to different formats in the hope that the tab will be able to play it?
Thanks again from this newbie to android having gone away from Apple
I like poweramp but im new and that was the only player i really new off
but i was happy since it played my mp4, but i just used mostly the google music player now since i got eveything uploaded to there cloud

Two to try would be MX Video player and DicePlayer. Both have trial or ad supported versions. Pick the one you like.
Thanks...most files i've transferred will play fine and haven't been choppy at all and that's on the standard player...just the odd few. Will give those a go.
Okay guys, I don't know how many of u came from an epic to photon, but for those of u that did, I'm sure u noticed the stock video player sucks. If there anyway we could add the ability to play mkv files or any other format? The video plays but there's no sound....any ideas?

I've been using MX Video Player from the market lately. It seems to support a lot of formats that the stock player does not.
Hi, first time android owner so just figuring things out. I downloaded mobo player and it works great and it allows me to play different video formats. I end up downloading movies and tv shows in flv format and copy them to my phone and it wokrs great. The built in player would not allow me to play them. I believe Mobo claime to play all video formats.
Try it out and let us know. And btw...sorry but i don't know what an mkv file is. I will google it though...peaceout!
thanks for the suggestions guys, i was looking to just stick to the stock video player, but i don't think that's gonna happen, mkv is just another file type, just like avi, mp4, just another video type. I downloaded Vplayer and that works fine for all video types, I just hate having multiple apps for one thing....I guess maybe i just got used to the epic stock video player. Well anyway thanks again, in case anyone else needs a suggestion on video players, Vplayer is good, but not a freeware. If you don't mind supporting the devs who make this stuff i recommend it.
Weather Channel Codecs for Photon
I downloaded The Weather Channel app, but the videos on it won't work like all the other videos I just spent three days trying to find the right codec info for. Is there ANYTHING I can download that will make them work since converting them isn't an option?
Here's what I have:
Stock Android
System Version: 45.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.US
Android Version: 2.3.4
Build Number: 4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
Many thanks to anyone who can assist.
So just curious what is the best way to convert say a normal movie or TV show to a format that Fascinate will recognize in Moboplayer?
Any recommendations on what format I should convert it to?
Also what software should I use? Preferably free but I know that not always possible
Lots of variables here, so you may need to try a couple and see what formats you can play, and which codec you need to use for encoding. I have the best luck with MP4, since those always play in the stock video player without issue, I've just stuck with them.
I always use Avidemux, and VLC which are both free and cross platform. VLC alone will convert most file types.
What about mx video player?
Thanks for suggestions I am going to check them out.
what resolution should I make it? Isn't there an ideal one for our phone?
I have lots of movies in .mkv format with .srt subtitles.
Can you recommend a free Windows program that can convert these into one package that my S3 can play?

instead of converting you can try using mx video player from market, it has support for all types of subtitles
That's a good idea, and I will probably go with that - however at the moment I'm wanting to show off the features of my new phone to work colleagues, and popup play (although it's a gimmick) seems to impress! So I want to use the standard built in video player for that reason
Any suggestions? Is it even possible to combins .mkv & .srt into one file? I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to audiovisual stuff :-D

I tried using that and it seemed to be doing the job ok - (using the associated program MKVExtractGUI) it allows you to select the elements of video/sound/subs you want.
However the H264 file it spat out at the end won't play properly in VLC on my computer - it's jerky, jumping up and down from about 8 frames per second to 25fps and back again, lots of artifacts, and no sound or subtitles (despite me selecting those elements to be included).
If it barely plays in VLC on my laptop I doubt it's going to play on my phone...
Any more ideas?
Have you tried using the stock video player? It plays MKVs and subtitles out the box.
I tried that, that would be ideal - but it didn't play the mkv files i gave it. I'll try a couple of others and report back...
Ok well I've just found the first chink in this phone's armour:
It's very fussy about the .mkv files it will play.
It outright refuses some. Others it will play the video but no audio. Some it will play perfectly, unless you try and activate subtitles under the settings menu, in which case it craps out, freezes, and gives me a "this video cannot be played message." Even if I do manage to get it to play subtitles along with the video and audio, it's well out of sync - like minutes out of sync....

Well if you do have to end up re-encoding your videos, try out Format Factory. It's free and has a ton of options.
I would suggest using MP4 and 'burning in' the subtitles. If you can't understand the the language you might as well have them a part of the video.
Thanks, I'll give that a try
