probably not the right codec. You may need to convert it first to h264 baseline if it doesnt play with any player.

I use Best VPlayer Pro1.1.2 from the market and it plays the *.mov files taken from iDevices without much problems and it is free

Can you tell what format the video sent to you is in? I personally feel that MoboPlayer is better than Rockplayer and it may be able to handle the video.
Conversion is never the best solution. Sometimes, Apple names them with a particular file extension, which is really another. I know that is confusing, but if you can tell us the format of the video from the iPhone, we can help you more easily.

My girl sends me txts with videos from her iPhone and I use handcent sms to watch them with no problems.

Best video player pro works great! Thank u!

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.

Can not play any video in CM7
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.

I've always wondered does anyone know of an actual Youtube downloader and converter? All of these just save the video as an mp3 file.

Jetvd.apk 1.2.2 has the most save options, you can do 3GP MP4 and FLV video formats and of course MP3

Ill try it out.
Are you sure it doesn't just save the video as an mp3?
Sent from my SPH-D700
Tubemate!! They give you the option to download in MP3, FLV, SD, & HD if the Youtube video has it. I've had it since forever. Its great. Google search it. I think the link is tubemate.net Its like tubex except that tubex is a rip off copy. I've had tubemate since before tubex came out and yeah, tubex is a copy.

I haven't tried the options out myself but they are there for most videos. It also allows you to play all yotube video in mp4 format or 3GP (high or low quality) even if they aren't suited for mobile phone, I have used this feature before.

I've been using TubeMate as well and have had no issue's downloading YouTube files and with great quality and choices.
I still like keepvid better, it does everything you guys stated, and isn't limited to just YouTube videos as its source.

[Q] Pop up video only compatible with native video player?

I was just wondering if the pop up video feature on the galaxy note 2 is compatible with only the native video player or is there a mod to allow it to work with even video apps ? Thanks !

If you want something similar for it that works with YouTube try Popcorn Player
There's a few that are pop up. DICE player is what I was using on my GSII, I believe it's the same company that made the one for the Note II. There is also another one that'll do youtube pop up playback but I didn't like the integration so I don't use it anymore.

Any chance pop up can be initiated from a movie watched through the native web browser or any web browser or can it only work with video player apps mentioned? Thanks for all your responses! I appreciate it.

I haven't tried it, but I run Mobo Player as my primary video app. It has a Pop Up player and I believe it can play streaming videos etc. Although I never tried the pop up with streaming videos. I'll try if I get a chance. Is there a specific page/site to try?
Theses an APP call WorldStar HipHop That uses the defualt video Player and can use the Pop up play Option

Cant play music or movie's on Note 2

Ive tried several different programs for video encoding my animes (mp4, divx, mpeg) but when I upload them and try to play them I get some kind playing error.
Now for music it doesn't matter what I convert it to it would play. For 2sec then skip to the next track..
I got tired of taking off the case and backing for the micro card so now i'm uploading with kies.

Or you can just extract the audio from the video file, making it a whole lot smaller.
Pvstar + app store. I use it a lot to listen to things but lock my phone while doing it..
YouTube videos etc

Does PV work only with online videos or also video files on my cellphone?

I use OG YouTube (link below) which have great quality, works with screen off and also let me easily download videos for off-line playback.
Make sure you get version 1 so it doesn't replace YouTube and enable screen off in OG settings.
I hope you guys like it!

Also I use es file explorer. Any video you can just go to and open and you get the option to open as. I choose audio and it only plays audio. I am sure other file explorers will do same.
