My videos always play just fine when I record in portrait or landscape. I have not run into a ROM that has given me those kind of issues.

damn tried reformting sd card. but still doesnt work.

maybe its the video player? because the video plays on your phone right?

My wife had this problem cm7, it was really weird, the only way I could get it to play was to download rock player and I had to navigate to the directory and open the file with something like file expert and then select rock player.
But this was on the phone not on a computer.

Playing video on CM7

Is there a way to play video on CM7? I have Rock Player installed to play .avi movies. But they don't seem to be working. Does anyone know a solution.

You should try arcMedia on the market....I can play .avi files with it
I downloaded and tried it. The video still won't play. It's like something is blocking it. It looks like it's gonna start but then it kicks me back out of the app.

VPlayer.
How fast is your MicroSDHC card? I know I have problems with high-def video on the card that came with the phone. I hear that faster cards have better results.

If you use rockplayer in software decode mode, it will work... I was having the same issue..

What codec? What resolution? What bitrate?
I'm having the same problem, it looks like its going to start then back to the root of my SD. video format is not an issue because the same videos worked with the same version of rock player on MIUI, CM6, and stock.
So what's the best player that plays avi format files with CM7 rom?
VPlayer works fine for me. Been watching DivX DVDRips all the time with it.

Looking for a HQ video recording app

Hello all, I am looking for a HQ video recorder application for my HTC Evo 4G. I currently use tap-a-talk for HQ audio recording which works great, any ideas for video other than the stock camcorder?
There really isnt any better solution. The bottleneck in the bad recoding is the codec that android uses for 720p.

Bummer.....so there is virtually no way to load a different codec on my device? I am able to record HQ audio not using HTC's recorder app but a third party app. Is that not using a different codec?
If tour good at coding its highly possible.

Well good ol kernel #17 was great but I don't think It's compatible with 3.70. If it is, I need it.

wow, its my 2nd post.. lol .Anyway i tried using tape-a-talk audio recorder, and yes it works great. So then i tried to mix it.
First i start the record on tape-a-talk. then i press home button so the recording still continue. After that.. i open the camcorder app, in setting i choose record without sound (if choose with sound, the camcorder will force close). Finally i edit it on PC, a little trim on the audio, using a video audio merger, i sync the audio within the video. Voila.
The problem was.. the laggy video, very hard to sync the audio and video.
I guess i'll buy a new microsd class 6 or 10, hopely it'll improve the video quality.
Can anyone confirm that 720 video can not work with 3.7 ? If this is the case then I may have to go back to a previous sense based rom.

Are you using the stock player on a stock rom? The stock epic video player supports a plethora of video codecs and contaniners, if you aren't running stock, perhaps it's something that was removed.

I'm on ics
So what if I just extracted the stock video apk from a stock rom and installed it.. think that would work?
You could try that, but honestly, I'd just grab a 3rd party player from the market that supports your video format of choice. That'e a bunch of options, and it would be easier.
im using the stock deodexed eh06 leak. one thought i have is that maybe the .avi is corrupted? did you try multiple files?

Rockplayer plays avi. I think it actually plays most video files.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
The .avi file is a container for various video formats. Thus some avi files may play while others won't, the best player I've found was Vitalplayer.

I have used doubletwist, which works most of the time. Sometimes, it doesn't and I will use QQPlayer. That thing plays everything
Well I happened to flash randoms hawk v.3.1 and the stock video app in that rom plays .avi fine

I ripped Avatar and Rio last night on BluRay in 720p but it could be due to the fact that i was jumping forward so much but the audio seemed slightly off and video didnt seem completely smoothe. One is x264 and the other is XviD.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
which App did you use on the PC to do the ripping?
never use Xvid, it sucks for play back both on PC and phones
x264 is the better choice
if you were using Handbrake, try MakeMKV it's way better and easier to use
