Best Video player? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Have you compared it to Modo player?
One of the comments says it can't play .mkv or .mov If not its not what I'm looking for.

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

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

Mobo plays 720p videos really well.
I've got a couple of vids that are 1280x720 and they play flawlessly

Media player that can show sub-titles

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.

[Q] Play high resolution movies

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...

Due to VPlayer becoming commercial (after the dev promised 'forever free') I will suggest QQPlayer.

Mobo Player
even plays 720p MKVs
I just watched a Top Gear UK show in 720p losing 19% battery charge and it was as smooth as silk with Diceplayer.
This is probably the only player you'll ever need if you are into downloading stuff from the internet, copying it to your SDcard and watching on the phone.
Mobo player for sure, even support subtitles

Moboplayer for the nice UI and usability, Diceplayer for HD mkv etc.
After reading the post, i too have installed mobo player and by far it is the best player. Two thumbs up !!!

Mobo FTW, I do think it lag to play 1080...but I believe that is just hardware limitation.

video player

which video player are you guys using?
i'm trying to play .mkv and .avi files with rock player and mx player
but i can't seem to get it to work.
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
MX Video Player has dual core support, plays everything I throw at it. Be sure to download the codec addon in the market too.
Avi should work but mine is little laggy when playing avi. Mkv is hit or miss. The best video player should be the mx video.

which codec addon did you install?
There is only one and it should point you to the correct one the first time you start mx video player. If in doubt uninstall mx video player and reinstall. It should send you to the correct codec link once again.
i found mobo to work better than mx and rock player.

+1 on mobo
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Just did some comparisons and Mobo does seem to have better playback. Smoother and less buggy. Switched from MX to Mobo Player!
i just need to find one that can play .mkv files.
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
I using Vplayer. Work fine with almost type of movies. And also support SRT to view subtitles.
QQ Player, search it on the web market.
Is optimized and very fast on my HTC Magic and Acer A100 and play .mkv
+1 for MX Player.
I haven't tried MX Player yet , but everywhere I search Mobo seems to be the player everyone recommends and it boggles my mind. As an app itself its pretty good, however, it lasted a total of 30 seconds on my phone after I realized that it's spamming me to no end with its bull suggestions for battery savers, task killers and a plethora of other apps I couldn't care less for.
It's too bad because the app definitely has potential.
I'm gonna give MX a shot. Hopefully that's smooth in playing back HD content on my S2.
subtitle
Hi, can I watch movies with subtitles on Acer Iconia A100? Witch player support that? Does it works fine?
Thanks!
If you want to watch videos n do other stuff at the same time, you could give Super Video a try, otherwise I recommend DICE Player

I use dice for my HD mkvs mp4s and stuff like that, mx for SD and net streaming. Dice and Mx both support subs. I used to use mobo but honestly dice and mx both play better with and seem to force HW more often, dice in particular.

Impressive Video Player
I highly recommend the free Pop Player app. I recently made a couple of reviews on it on YouTube.
This new video player allows the user to utilize speed-control. The slow-motion
and speeded-motion are extremely smooth too and audio syncs perfectly with
the video at any speed. It can definitely be useful for athletes and students.
Some people I know even use it to replay their golf swings in slow-motion
in order to improve their form.
This player plays MP4 files that contain H264 and AC codecs.
Check out my review of this app on youtube by searching "Pop Player Free Android App"

[Q] Best MKV Player for Android

Trying to find the best MKV Player for Android, paid or free, doesn't matter. I am currently using MX Player but the volume is pretty low even using Volume+
Thank you
I've found DICE Player to be the best, I've yet to have an issue on my smartphone or tablet with it.

I second this as Dice Player played a 4 gb mkv pretty well on my phone. You can always download the trial first as well.

Thanks guys!
yeah when i was on my Rezound i found that both Dice & MX were the best(& only 2 at the time that could handle 720P).
oddly though, i can't seem to get 720P (ac3) .mkv files to play on my Nexus with any app... well, if i'm lucky, MX will decide to randomly pick one and play it in 'software mode'... but refuses to play in hardware mode period.
i hope there's a fix for this soon.

Tron works in 720p with all modes, but smooth in hardware. Looks PHENOMENAL.
I’ve been searching for a tool that can do that job. Although there are lots of MKV converters in the market, which one to choose is a big headache, because most of these programs have problems one or another like video, audio out of sync, quality loss… Well, Brorsoft Video Converter is a powerful MKV to MP4 converter which can fast convert MKV to MP4 with high quality.
