Using MX Player along w/ custom codecs (to support DTS audio) the Note 3 is fully capable of playing these back with ease that is nothing short of astounding. I ripped an imax bluray to MKV, maintaining audio but compressing video a bit, and it plays completely without issue.

no need to load movies to the note 3 you can stream 1080p mkv with Qloud and a dual band router it works flawlessly
Sorry I didn't get back sooner but that's exactly the post I used. You need to unzip the archive to a location on the phone. Then point to it. I also enabled hw acceleration.
Streaming is great but something to be said for having a movie available without needing to have bandwidth for it or even a connection. With 96gb available on mine w/ 64 gig sd card, space not so much of a concern.

Got it thanks. I missed that part when I was forwarded to the website and had no idea which to choose. Awesome.
There are two ways for you to solve it
1.MX Player and the VLC Beta both work fine with .mkvs, you can download these player in your note 3
2. You can rip your MKV files to the note 3 supported format like .mp4
I use mx player and like it. If you are using subs I have to use software local decoder or subs get wacky.

VLC is fine but for some reason it sucks battery like a depraved whore. MX is better but i used to like using the stock player on my Note 2 because it was battery friendly. Frustrating but at least i just use an alternative player.
As for Anime it has to be VLC or nothing, and even then there always some break up. For some reason the Japs like to encode there anime in 10-bit 720p MKV with dual audio (if available) and subs. I thought that the Note 3 would handle HD anime better but it's more or less the same problems. So it's down to waiting on further VLC development, i wish they get a move on as VLC hasn't really improved that much in 18 months and there still loads to improve on. it's only 80% there.
Great thanks

I've been using an iPhone for god knows how long just becuase of Air Video - there are no alternatives for Android. The Galaxy S II is looking absolutely perfect, but there's just one more thing I absolutely must confirm before I make the purchase.
I'm a huge anime watcher. I watch anime on the go all the time. The iPhone 4 uses Air Video and does that perfectly. Since there's no alternative for Android the Galaxy S II must be able to watch it without conversion for me to replace my iPhone with it.
My anime are almost always 720p, MKV encoded with h.264, softsubs. That's generally the industry standard for anime distribution. Will the Galaxy S II play these files without conversion. If it's a yes, then I'm ordering right now.
If someone here actually has one and watches anime, it would be much appreciated if you can download an episode and try it out on your device. Telling me your results would be much appreciated!
The most important thing is framerate, audio and subtitle rendering.
Havent watched anime specifically but tested a x264 encoded blu ray 1080p and that worked fine.
Edit: Have u got a sample that i/we could test?

I can confirm 720p (and 1080p as well most likely) MKV files (yes, anime. Tried it with released from gg, commie, UTW) with .ass/.srt softsubs play perfectly. The more advanced aspects of .ass subs don't work but it's no big deal - Styling, transition effects, etc.
I'm using mVideoPlayer instead of the stock one as the stock can't read .ass softsubs.
If I had this two years ago when i used to go on anime binges it would've been perfect. Didn't like waiting 30 mins for each ep to convert to 480x272 mp4s.
Should play them, make sure the subs file name is the same as the video (up to the file extension obviously). If the subs don't play try converting them to .srt subs and try again!
1920x1080 mkv's play fine, full speed. This is the only phone that's been able to play my 'Bad Apple PV' test mkv at full speed without the video/sound getting out of sync after 20 seconds.
However subtitles did not work in any of the players I tried (default, mobo & rock). Will look for another player later.

These MKV's don't have a separate subs file. They're built into the mkv as a separate data stream.
For those looking for an alternative to Air Video, I've been using Plex. It has a companion program that runs on your comp (just like air video) that converts pretty much any video format to stream to your android device. Only problem is that it's not quite as easy to set up to stream over 3g/4g as air video is. But if you know how to port-forward your router, it's pretty easy from there. Hope this helps some ppl!

Why are you not watching anime anymore? There are so many good things this season.
The S2 can play HD content no problem, it's the media player you should be looking at. If one doesn't read subs in MKV containers then just move on to the next media player and check. Yeah anyway, no problems.
As for why i'm not watching any, i'm too busy. I work/study 50+ hours a week now, I try to squeeze something in during the commutes though.
Enjoy your new beast phone.

I have the default player, moboplayer, mvideoplayer, and Rockplayer installed, each will do a little something the others won't. Interesting there is now enough CPU and RAM grunt for software decoding to manage things that were like slideshows on other phones.

if so whats the best method?

On the subject of video, has anyone use DLNA to connect to a Twonky server? My G2X would connect but not play video. I'm hoping it's because the G2X couldn't support MKV which is what all me stuff's encoded in. Thx.
I have a 3gb 1080p anime movie I use for testing. Lots of things happening on screen. I dont watch anime at all, but subtitles was included in the movie and displayed fine.
1 was a subtitled Dragon ball z/gt(dont know really) but played fine with subtitles. the other was a soul blade(i think) that played smoothly also.
Hello, I have recently encountered issues with regards to 1080p video playback.
Being aware that the TF201 has 4 cores, I had expected smooth playback with no lag.
When playing media files from my Plex media server, the 1080p video files play flawlessly. Though when playing the exact same files locally from the Transformer's directory, the video plays with extreme lag and jittery.

It shouldn't. Usually internal flash storage is a lot faster than removable flash storage. I doubt ASUS would go cheap and use cheap flash storage on their device.
Do you know what type of video format you are playing? mkv is a video container, which usually hold h.264 video files and 5.1 digital sound format, but can be different.
Ask Andyx over in his thread, "what would you like to know about the prime" . He might can help you. It should be able to play 1080p files flawlessly as it's been tested as so by a few members here that have it and major reviewers. It might be your encoding. It should play with no lag or issues from internal storage or SD card. Actually been tested by major reviewer, I think Anadtech or technobuffalo, to play just as flawlessly from SD card than from internal storage.

The file AndyX played on his YouTube vid was 1080P MKV file also. Which played with no issues. I'd say run these same stats by him to compare to what he ran in his video. There's another guy here to that ran a high quality video test. His thread is called something like you got questions, I got questions. Those 2 and candy are the only ones it's seems that have a prime also already that might can help.
The only thing I can think is that the file is encoded using some odd parameters that do not jive with the Prime and the reason it works with Plex is because it's doing some kind of decoding, even if on a lower level.

I'd go with that. I've seen some nutty as a fruit cake parameters on mkv's I've shared from friends. one of them just will not convert in handbrake, it looks like crap and yet played natively as an mkv file it looks fine. when I delved into the frame encoding etc it was bizarre.
I'd go with a grotty mkv file over the prime having an issue here.

Dice Player on the Market should do the trick. Works really well and plays everything I throw at it, but the "Paid" version seems to be missing from the Market at the moment due to Google Checkout issues with the developer.
Anand did a really good review testing all kinds of video codecs. He was able to play 1080p H.264 high profile streams at up to 40Mbps just fine using DicePlayer.

Technically speaking, it can, the only reason why I am currently unable to do so is perhaps due to software issues. Playback is perfectly fine via media servers, but I encounter issues when playing back the same videos in local storage.
I thought ICS was suppose to support MKV by default. I am able to play video but get no sound.
Dice player works fine as it did on 3.2 but was expecting the built in player to work.

You can use MX video player and chose an alternate music stream and that plays the sound. You can choose the alternate stream from the music icon at the top when you are playing the Video file.
Hope that helps.
Give QQplayer from the market a try.

Try BSPlayer Lite from the market for your mkv files. It's free and seems to work well.
I also got no sound from my TFP with ICS with other players.
You don't get sound because the Prime doesn't support the audio codec of whatever video you are trying to play.
i use v player. Always works smoothly with mkv. And if its one of those movies that doesn't like to play right, it will work on mobo player. Mobo player is choppy on mkv for me so I use it as back up

It can support native MKV decoding but you need to take a look at the audio codec as the stock player probably does not support it.
Why would you want to use it anyways? Dice is amazing
I use Mobo Player for all my android devices.
I use Dice and this works smooth as well..
This is so frustrating. I installed every player imaginable and the only one that plays the mkv perfectly is Dice. The sound with the Dice Player is horrible and unlistenable though. All the other players play the sound perfectly, but the video is choppy on all of them. The mkv is a 1080p if that matters. I'm ready to blow a gasket over here !

I have found, at least with my media collection, that Diceplayer works better across all types of codec configurations.
I normally use BsPlayer, since it has built in samba client and therefore no need to use ex file explorer to start dice player. If BsPlayer does not cut it, then I switch to Diceplayer.
Mx video player does not currently decode all formats i hardware on the prime, so wait a little while with that.
I am finding the default video player after the ICS update to be quite capable. Haven't had to download any codecs, or anything.

I don't believe there are any of yet. I currently use Dice Player which has played 99% of my videos on HW. For the other 1%, MX Player seems to have the fastest SW decoder. I know Dice has a Tegra 2 plugin (tried it on my Prime to no avail). I wouldn't be surprised if we see Tegra 3 optimized decoding before long. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do, but since Tegra 3 is so new, there just haven't been any attempts yet.

I find that the default ICS player is bugged out. Instead of a menu for play,pause and stuff it just shows colored squares (looks like my screen is melting form the inside out) and is obviously bugged out, it doesn't play half the stuff dice player does.
mx player has been treating me the best since I can select hardware or software for the video and the audio separately, allowing me to play 1080p videos and for those that the audio isn't working I can select software decoding of audio. Also MX player is so far the only player that has been handling multiple audio tracks and multiple subtitle tracks well.
@all
OK, sorry, I stand corrected. Just tried out an .mkv on the built-in player which gave no sound at all! Ugghh...

if someone has the s3 already or is getting it tomorrow ( mine coming on Wednesday ) can you download or put a 1080p .mkv movie (7-12GB) on your phone or sd card and play it using stock player and dice player. can you see if it will play smoothly? any lags, audio issues.
i would love to see that test aswell,+ if it would be possible over MHL to TV.to see how much frames sg3 is doing while streaming 1080p to TV
Gpu vs gpu
Hi guys,
can sg3 play high profile 1080p h264 videos @ 40 mbs like tegra 3 does?sg2 does not....
Here http://www.dvdloc8.com/clip.php?movieid=13599&clipid=4 and http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/ (video 'birds') you can download and play stress videos with hardware accelerated video player like dice player, bs player , mx video player etc.
Furthermore , can you play a 1080p youtube flash video ( in browser, not using youtube app), does it stutter???
Let me know...

thanks man. remember it has to be a 1080p .mkv file. cant wait. as im getting my white one tomorrow. play with stock video player and dice player.
also can you install sopcast on the device and run a HD stream for me to see if the video is not laggy and is in sync with the audio and the video is not slow.
i have a galaxy tab 10.1 wifi and when i play a HD stream the video is slow and is out of sync with the audio.
sopcast download link: ( copy and paste into browser)
download.easetuner.com/download/SopCast.apk
open this stream using your S3:

Download link is really slow, but I'll definitely check it out once I've gotten it installed. Movie should be ready in 5minutes.
Seriosuly, can't get over how amazing this phone is.

1080p file playing very smoothly with some ever so slight stutters(not irritating by any means) here and there, which I guess could be due to my awfully slow external sd-card). Didn't get any sound due to it containing only the trueHD soundtrack, so I'll try another file on the internal SD-card soon! Still 20% on the download to go. I also had a lot of apps open in the background which could affect the smoothness of the video(stock video player). Gonna try dice player now!

1080p playing perfectly fine on DicePlayer(full version). No stuttering! Getting sound as well(guess there was dts hidden in there somewhere). Guess it's hardware accelerated by that little blue HW in the top left corner. This phone is amazing!

I wanted to know if the s3 could play flv files. I didn't see it in the spec sheet but the previous galaxy phones did play flv files. Thanks
