Just loaded my first Matroska (.MKV) format video on the SD card.
To my surprise, the stock video player displayed prominent subtitles!
Now, that's all very clever, but how can I turn them OFF ?!
Thanks for ideas...
I'm encountering the same issue.
kind of weird because the same files dont populate subtitles on PC using VLC or Media Player Classic. But both standard Samsung Video Player and VLC beta for Android...subtitles pop up.

Is anyone else having problems playing recorded 2d videos on there computer? I recorded about 30 videos in 2d 720p and they all play fine on my phone. However, after transferring them to my computer only 3 or 4 of them will play in most players. I can get them all to play in VLC but the others will not play in Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic or vReveal. They were all recorded using the same settings so this doesn't make sense.

Windows Media Player doesn't support many video formats, I would just forget about WMP al together and opt for VLC as it is better in every aspect.

If it were just windows media player it would not be an issue but it is also Windows Media player Classic which plays just about anything as well as vReveal which I use to stabilize shaky videos.
My Mac plays them just nicely.

WMP Classic plays the same codecs as WMP. Microsoft simply does not support the codecs used by the 3vo. I believe the 3vo records in 3gp (correct me if im wrong), and I know that none of the WMPs play that.
Macs play 3GP just fine on stock.
Aight guys, I have done a good bit of tinkering but I haven't had much luck yet...
What I'm trying to do is watch a movie on my Streak with subtitles...
I have read several guides and followed the instructions... rip the iso to Video_TS folder and all that jazz, and I even choose the options to include the subtitles with both Xilisoft convertor and also Handbrake... well, I don't see the subtitles, even when I convert the movie having them "burned in" as the option specifies...
Now, I decided to use vplayer because it is supposed to let me choose which subtitles and it hasn't worked either, plus the playback and audio aren't synced...
I will mention this, the native player on my Streak plays the movie just fine, in 4:3 format (no matter what ratio I choose when I convert, using the native android movie player it always plays back in 4:3), although with no subtitles but the audio and video are in sync...
With vplayer, it will playback in the aspect ration it was supposedly converted to, and I can even choose subtitles, but I can't see them on the screen, playback is choppy and not in sync...
Hope I have made myself somewhat clear... any suggestions or pointing me to a definitive guide on maybe how to do what I want would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks guys ahead of time!!!
Vital player
HI there,
Vital player is what I use for such a long time. The only condition to play subtitles, is that they have to have exactly the same name as the movie file, ofcourse in respect with their own extentions.
I gues it plays .sub and .srt subtitle files.
Hope this address your concerns.
Cheers mate,

try MX video player

MX player is what I have settled on for now and just using external subtitle .srt files
I put a bunch of videos on my new MicroSD that I got in the mail yesterday, and while all of them will run in Moboplayer (except for American Psycho which is in AVCHD in a .m2ts container), they all seem to stutter a bit.
So, I was wondering what is the most reliable video codec and container for the NT?
It says that it supports:
3GP, 3G2, MP4, M4V, MKV, WEBM, H.264 (Baseline/Main/High profile) up to 1920x1080, MPEG-4 Simple/Advanced Simple profile up to 1920x1080, & H.263
Click to expand...

but H.264 seems to stop running every few seconds for me.
Quick edit: Just finished uploading an MKV file and it seems to be the best so far, although the subtitles are coming up even though I disabled them in Moboplayer.
Any other recommended video players perhaps?
i use mx video player personally
yea mx video player is most smooth IMO. If available SW Fast decoding provides best playback of HD files 720p or 1080p. Of course it drains more battery so yeah...
Just installed it and it's running much better than Mobo was for me, thanks you guys.
Any time. Btw handbrake is a great way to convert your dvd's to mkv or mpeg4 format. Blurays will be too large to play,but most dvd,s will be about 700meg. I also use anydvdhd to strip the drm. On the computer i also use media browser for listing the movies. Bluray dvd's i have are played with media player classic hd with shark 007 codec pack
I grabbed 2 Youtube music videos - one 720p and one 1080p - both mp4 files. They work with no issues with the B&N video player but mx video player installed from the market wont play them. I don't get any errors or warnings its just stuck there at 00:00 with no movement and a black screen with the video controls - all i can do is exit. If I am to install one of the codec packs from the market - arm6/7 etc - which one should it be? Not sure what the processor is!

I think its ARM7 you want to get.
Also, mp4 is only a container filetype. The codec used for compression is also important, for example HuffyUV, H264, X263.
yea i have a video thats an avi but it closes out any media player right away...just opens the player then closes lol

i have an avi on my NT and it loads fine. i think the previous poster was right about the codec. the codec is more important than the container. you might want to email the developers who made mx video player and ask them about it.
I need to run g-spot on it, it might have a weird codec or something
Been using Mx Video and it has worked with every video that I have thrown at it.
h264 codec is hardware accelerated in MX Video player. Even FullHD videos are played smoothly.
What container are you using? I can't get HW acceleration to work for any h.264 files in mkv, mp4, mov, or m4v. I use MX player and it kicks over to the SW decoder every time.
Here are my discoveries about HW video decoding in MX Player:
1. originally I uploaded some 1.5 gig MKV file downloaded from the web to SD card and tried to play it, but nothing happened - MX played it in SW mode.
2. Then, I created/converted some small video to MP4 (H.264 and AAC) and tried playing it with MX - and it worked fine
3. Strangely, but after playing hand-converted video MX started to play MKV, but with glitches...
So I think MX has some bugs when run on NT or it is not fully compatible with NT.
EDIT: ArcSoft Media Converter was used...
Anyone else having a problem with some xvid files playing back glitchy?
I've used the stock video player, MoboPlayer and Mizuu.
The odd file will do this every time though the same file on VLC or windows media player is flawless.
Wish VLC for android was ready to go!
The Rezound plays my MP4 Movies great. Tried playing a Movie in AVI format and the stock player will not have it. I downloaded another video player from the Market and the Movie does play nearly as sharp as the stock player does with the MP4 Movies. Any Ideas? Is there a way of using the stock player with AVI??
Vinny
Maybe the format of the AVI is not comparable to the MP4 you played?
Have you tried MX Video Player? You didn't mention which player you tried.

it's actually best to just convert everything to mp4
Thanks for the imfo.
I use mobo player for everything else.. avi's (Divx/xvid's....etc.)
fantastic... the language is a little lost in translation but the app works wonderfully and has a nice interface for scanning/seeking and volume control while watching a video.
mobo is ok but I'm another who prefers mx player
Try diceplayer.
You can play 1080p+DTS/AC3/AAC MKV/AVI files with Full HW Acceleration.
and dice has SMB/FTP/HTTP support, you can play over 4GB files from PC and NAS.
Great info guys, thanks again. Checking them all out. Amazing the choices available.
