Hey,
has anyone tried to play 720p movies/clips on the DHD? It would make sence to be possible but so far, i've tried a lot of players and no luck there. Vplayer get pretty close but the playback is still jerky.
Ideas?
I use vplayer aswell but you have to change the vidoe quality setting from speed to quality. It smooths out the movie and runs pretty good
try rockplayer
im using it and its never lagged when playing 720p videos...

I've yet to see a player that can handle .mkv files.
Due to VPlayer becoming commercial (after the dev promised 'forever free') I will suggest QQPlayer.

Guys, I posted a workaround in another thread... > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6902833&postcount=9
hey buddy, does it play MKV downloaded straight from the net?
Like a 720p vid without needing to encode?

yes it does.. but no SUBS..
I've tried Naruto Shippuuden and Bleach both 720p by [Horrible Subs], Audio and Video works, but no Subs...
yeah I wanna know if there was an android video player out there, which can display embedded sub while watching hd content.
Check out this h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6902833&postcount=9 Right now it's the easiest solution.
Isn't that the OP's 'solution' ? haha
yes
he figured it out after
LOL
It still looks like there isn't a standalone player out there.
Using a few players it would either do one of the following:
1. Play the video in really good sharp resolution without dropping any frames, but here's no sound, and no subtitles. Ack!
2. Play the video in really awful quality with artifacts the size of Mount Tiwaluho but you got sound and subtitles, yet it's stuttering.
Can't win eh? Still, it seems that it is possible. The hardware is there. I think it's only a matter of time. Until then, we're better of using this workaround:

Try this
http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/media_and_video/mkv-subextractor_ltlg_download.html
works fine for me
works with embedded srt and ass subs
I use mVideoPlayer, plays 720p mkvs with softsubs perfectly for me
Ah, i see The.Opethian and Volcacius beat me to it. And now I find out they just linked to one of the OPs other posts...
Is there a media player for our SGS that can show the sub-title from anime (.mkv) formats?

Third that, mVideoPlayer has all features you need. Lot of peoples are using Rock Player because mVideoPlayer doesn't have codecs, but SGS can play natively all video formats you want.
That false to facts, it doesn't play much, Rockplayer is almost managing playing 1080p but it's not free (and probably violating some GPL...) Btw, asking for money for a media player used to play unpaid content is quite hypocrite...
I want vlc instead
which version of Rockplayer are you using to "almost" play 1080p ?
1080p.... such a waste of space..
@OP Try to search the forums next time..

I used the latest version of Rockplayer to play the 1080p nVidia ION video that came with my computer, quite slow and a bit fuzzy sometimes, Rockplayer also almost player flawlessly the 720p wmv also from my computer.
Btw all the "native" players can't even play a plain old mpg, so much for the "SGS can play natively all video formats you want."
True, also can't play VHS from a floppy.

It's dumb to expect any player to play all the codecs/variants out there by default.
I have VPlayer Advanced and when I play an .avi video that is 624x352 it lags pretty bad...
I can't imagine watching a 720p or a 1080p video on this thing...
Anyone know a video player that is worth having? ???
(It must be able to play all formats like .mkv .mp4 and so on...)
Try moboplayer. I'm using it and happy so far.

playing .mkv simply is done if supported by device... i tried many but none could play mkv on desire hd flawlessly coz of hardware limitations...

modo player can play a 720p .mkv on my DHD mostly good. Not perfect but close!
The phone by default doesn't support .mkv if this video player doesn't support more formats than the phones default player then I'm not interested.
Greetings, I use and recommend "Best Video Player PRO (Summer Player)" is very good and lso read almost all video formats, only the interface is not very appealing but the rest works perfect.
Mobo player plays 480p mkvs perfectly without lag at all. Haven't tried 720p though

I Use RockPlayer. Plays everything pretty well, assuming you select the correct option for the file (hardware or software decoding).
I think you have to pay for it, but honestly I've had it that long I cant remember doing it.
Hardware wise, the DHD doesnt support much in the way of videos (or its awkward). Obviously, 720p 3gp, MP4, and mine is picky about WMV (it will play and then decide it can't play this file about halfway lol). it apparently supports AVI and XVID but I never come across any AVI encoded with MP4 ASP and MP3, hence RockPlayer.
MoboPlayer seems to struggle a little with MKV files I've noticed ... kind of lags. If the video has subtitles there's epic desyncing as well.
There's DicePlayer I guess, which could very well be the best video player on the market right now, but it doesn't support embedded MKV subtitles as far as I know so I haven't gone about buying it yet. Then again, I'm also a bit hesitant to buy it even with the subtitles working because I expect VLC to release their player in the coming month ...
there is nothing beter rockplayer. plays anything/
Rockplayer is the best

Ive been watching 720p movies using it and not had any problem. Not a single lag either!! Rockplayer works flawlessly!! Its the best you can find!

Yeah Rockplayer here to.
Been using it for a while now and it hasnt not played a file yet.
Not big on HD on the DHD so i dont really know about that.
Rockplayer for your videos and Poweramp for the music and your set.
Wish VLC would make a player for android. Worked great on my iPhone, but the iphone sucks.
old VIDEO PLAYER (not advanced) works best for me , better than rockplayer, at least on my phone

Hey guys!
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a couple days now, and I was thinking of loading it up with some movies I have at home. The problem is, I've ripped the movies in 720p .mp4 format on my Mac - but it won't play with the stock ICS player.. Rock Player works sort of, it shows video but it doesn't hide the on-screen buttons.
Rip details is: 720p h.264, AAC audio
Any ideas?

Yeah, stock gallery doesnt play wide range of codecs yet so I rely on MX player instead. But having the same problem tho about the on screen buttons :/
I find that the "dice" player from android market plays more stuff than any thing i can get straight .mkv files running perfect on my GN it is a paid app for the full version but im happy with it.

Do you have the stay-on-screen-buttons problem on Dice Player?
The only player that plays movies in full screen is Dice Player....but it has been removed from the market.
Have you tried Mobo Player? Works great on my Nexus S with mkv/mp4/whatever.

It needs some codec (which cannot find in market) to download first in order to use it...
Make sure you use the right mp4 level I think level 4 is the Max android will recognize all my encodes work so far

Doubletwist is also very good.
All available from the market and have had no issues playing anything so far.

Cool, I forgot about Doubletwist, thanks.
I currently use QQPlayer, Diceplayer premium and Rockplayer. They all seem to play some files and not others.
I tried Moboplayer but ran into trouble installing the codec during the install process (even when installing 'offline')

Update - I just tried Doubleplayer, and while it plays everything it stuggles at times. More jerky (lower frame rate?) than QQPlayer.
I'd be happy with QQPlayer but the seek doesn't play nice. So if I miss something I have to start the video from scratch. And like I say, Dice, Mobo, Rockplayer and Realplayer (yes I was desperate) all appear to have various problems of their own.
I do recall VLC being released a year or so ago. But I guess it was pulled too?
I'd love to know if anyone has found a decent video app... (*I have a 4.5 hour daily commute into London!*)
Dice Player ftw!

Many people reported that it crashes on ICS, is that happened to you too?
hello.
I would like to play full movies 1080p & 720p on my Gnex.
I'm using mx player. before I play the video I'm shutting down all other apps via Advanced task killer.
still, the video is lagging, even with 720P movies.
what can I do to make it run smoothly ?
Thank you !
I use MX Player to play 720p and 1080p mp4 videos and they play smoothly. I haven't tried mkv videos yet, though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
From what I understand, these video players that allow you to play non-naively supported video extensions are constantly decoding the video on a software level.
You'll need one that supports full hardware decoding.
I don't really have a recommendation...but I'd google around and see if you find one that works for our phones.
I'd help, but I don't really have any MKV files lying around
Thank you friend.
It is very important to me.
(and yes I am talking about mkv files)
