I recently used VLC to rip my copies of LoTR to my PC (which I then placed on my GS2). I used the default settings in VLC to rip LoTR and it looks great on my PC. Yet the playback on the GS2 is very choppy. Anyone have any ideas on what to do or if this is the correct place for this question or even if this has been discussed in some way. Thanks

What video player you using??
MXvideo player seems to work fine(some vids have no audio) as well as Vplayer, the new Vplayer seems to support HW accel on our devices ...
Both MX and Vplayer. As well as qq, regular player, and mplayer seem to choppy. Maybe it is how I ripped it. But the GS2 should play regular mp4 just fine...

i just watched an AVI movie today using bsplayer lite, it free from market.
The other two players i have installed is Dice and Mobo. I kind of switched based on format.
So far I only watched avi and mkv. Using qqplayer as my primary movie player.

not sure, they all seems to be better for different formats. I have not found a favorite
I know this will sound like a crazy question but, is there any way to convert a movie directly on the phone?
MX Video Player
I use MX Video Player and it plays everything. Drop and drag movies, and play. Simple as that.
It also recognizes .SRT files too!
I also use Mx player. It is awesome. You can swipe to change subtitle time.

yeah mx movie player is the best I've used so far. No need to convert and I haven't found a format it doesn't play.

diceplayer ftw if you want to watch HD content.
don't know if mx player's been updated since but it would stutter when playing HD videos, prompting me to switch to diceplayer. full hw acceleration and smooth playback of 1080p mkv's.

+1 to DICE Player. Bought it when it was able to buy but the trial version is now a full-completed ad version. Couldn't be happier.
I prefer MP4 because the phone has a hardware decoder. Which probably saves some power.

MX Video player is the VLC of android.
Has played every file type I have thrown at it.
mx player is amazing on galaxy nexus with full screen and subtitle !
dont try mobo amazing player but not full screen !!
I have already tried MX Player, Moboplayer, and Diceplayer, and all of them seem to lag while playing 720p mkv files. Are there any video players that can play without lag causing the audio and video to go out of sync?
Try mx again and turn audio to software decoding (not hardware). Fixed my sync issues.

I haven't tried it yet, but VLC player may be another option to look into.
If you are in North America, get VLC from here:

Ita still beta but works pretty well from what I've seen.

Thanks for the link. I had sideloaded an outdated VLC Beta a while back since it's the only player that (for me) plays 1080p h/w accelerated with DTS audio outofthebox -- (DicePlayer does too, with a /sdcard/libffmpeg.so plugin) -- and hadn't updated in a while.
you might want to give mVideoPlayer a go as well!
pls guide me yo find best one pls....
I can't decide between BS Player and MX Player so I use both. Paid versions. Good luck finding best one for you.

i used mxplayer but switched to diceplayer as it lets you play in pop-out video while checking e-mail etc
BSplayer can play video in "external mode", so everywhere, while you are surfing, reading email etc... and you can resize, pause or clse the video.
MXplayer doesnt provide this feature.

I use BS Player because it read everything well and has a LAN Mode. But the UI is horrible.
My combo: BSplayer (soft decode) for WMV + DICE Player for everything else
What's the best movie player for playing 720p files? I've heard the stock player doesn't play all file formats. What do you use?
MX Player is always a great choice and is always one of the first things I download when I get a new device

I second the use of MX Player - been running it on both my phone and the Nexus 7 and it's great. I like that it was gesture controls as well as on-screen buttons.
The app called 'MX player' is the best player I found. It plays just about any type of video format you there.

I used MX player since I purchased the N7 and i found it almost perfect. For everything else, you can try the nightlies of XMBC. Probably once it will be polished will be a good alternative.
no love for Diceplayer?

I did not know about this one, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!
So far I've been using MXplayer, however, and ideally, I wish I could solely use VLC as I'd prefer to rely on open source software.

Diceplayer works well for me using hardware decoding.
MXplayer stutters for me using hardware decoding. Software decoding works fine on MXplayer, but uses more battery than h/w decoding.
Nothing I have found gas played 1080p video with DTS audio add well add bsplayer. This is very important to me add I rather not have top convert or download different versions for my mobile device

No one here uses "Super Video, Floating and Popup"? This and Mobo player have been ole faithfuls for me. For one Super Video has gestures, (turn volume up and down while watching movie), Also after one video ends, it automatically plays another. (Works very well when watching saved music videos, and don't want to have to click on another video after the last one ended.) It also has minimizes to a small floating video so you can see your home screen in the background while you continue to watch movies/videos.
If MXplayer does this also, i might need to give it a try.
The stock gallery app is easily the best for playing videos it supports.
I don't think other players support the LPcore and stuff, and they use waaay too much processing power. I have tried 3rd party ones but they all use more than one core at nearly full freq most of the time. This is why I'm using stock
Feel free to prove me wrong though

MX Player hasn't failed me yet. Smooth playback using the software renderer rather than the hardware rendering for some reason though. Anyways, it works very well.

This would be my suggestion as well.
There's also Rockplayer, it's been awhile since I've used it but it did the job well. Has the most used video and audio codecs embeded.
Also, the stock video player will play the mkv files as long as it has the supported audio codec, can't recall the exact one...
