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)

Best video player app?

My nook is currently rooted and i have mobo player and mxplayer installed but none would play my thor 720p mkv rip without small lag.
I used to use moai as well until I learned about MX video player and now I use that one.

Mx video player is the best ive found.

for me, it still stutters, maybe using a non mkv format would be better?

I tried all.. Mx player is better than all others.. Still some videos are not playing fast with Mx player. May be because of Hd.
Sorry main reason is underclocked my processor to 600mhz, i forgot about that till now.. Anyway thank you guys

I started with VPlayer then I changed to MX Player and I'm enjoying a better experience, specially regarding the interface
mx player plays 10bit video files, vplayer does not.

I use MX player and B.S. player because BS player searches for subtitles automatically when i need them
I use mx player too, very versatile software

Hi. codecs ARMV7 suits defy. No need to instal the others. I`ve tested almost all video players on market and have to say that in my opinion MX rulez. Perfectly works with my web browser, local movies, dlna. Has touch screen brightness and volume control, adjust the image size...etc. Never failed.
Did the player ask you install automatic or you just did it manually.
