I love how video looks on the kindle fire!
Most of my ripped movies in my "Movies" network share play, but VOBs don't (DVD MPEG). MX Video player and ArcMedia player claim to play VOBs, but they don't. ArcMedia can access the share but won't play the VOBs. Neither ArcMedia or MX will associate with the VOB extension, so Android doesn't know what player to launch if I access a VOB via network share in a file browser.
Anybody tried playing a ripped DVD with an android device? If you had success, what player did you use?
Has nobody tried or wanted to play ripped DVDs?
Your best bet after ripping them is converting the format if the video is unsupported by android if possible and the only ripping I do with DVD videos is with iTunes and movies

Oh and I'd try to convert to a more common format ex: mp4

VOB files are not really uncommon. That's the format of every DVD.
I use Daroon Player to play VOBs that are locally loaded on my Fire. I don't remember if I sideloaded it or not.

hi, i have recorded 3 movie clips with my tytn, i have wm6 installed. i sent this movies to my macbook. now i tried to watch them. no chance, only vlc can play them but without sound. what the hell, why does this codec suck so much? i have tried it in media player, and quicktime in osx. they cant play it. it should be said that quicktime can play mpeg4 files, but what is mp4?
anyone knows what codec i have to install to convert it to another format?
and why ms cant play videos from their own mobile apps?
regards, chief
I have no problems playing mp4 on my PC. I have K-lte codec pack installed but I think ffdshow is the codec being used to play it.
Mp4 should be just seen as a container for the video and audio, like .avi or .mkv. I actually use mp4 to encode my files for my PocketPC and get great quality, the upside is that these files also play on other mobile devices; my girlfriend can play them on her Samsung U600.
You running a MS OS on your Mac?
yes, i have tried it in windows xp, but i have no codec packs installed. i think the problem is, that this is not a normal mp4, the video track is ok, but the audio track is identified as "samr".
wtf is samr?
gg
omg
think the only thing i need is this samr codec for mac. in the apple docs i found the information that quicktime comes with amr support, but i think samr is not amr, so i need this codec, anyone ere who can ell me rom where i can download this?

Change the extension from .mp4 to .3gp and QuickTime will play it perfectly.

Brought an .avi movie over from my hard drive and when I click on it, I get options to play it via MixZing or Movies. Select Movies and a black screen loads but the phone locks up.
Is this the right formats to play with an Evo?
Nevermind.
Just found my answer.
just so that when people search they have the answer. By default .avi isnt supported with the movies player, You can use Rockplayer (from market) and play .avi or if you want to play a video on your EVO movie player you need it to be MP4

I have Win7 HTPC with lots of TV recordings in WTV format. How can I watch them on Epic over 3g/wifi network?
I know there are options such as
1. orb player
2. slingplayer
They are not optimal and I would like to know any other options. Any ideas?
I just learned about allshare. Will allshare stream WTV in HTPC to the phone over wifi?
I think it should but I don't have Epic to prove it.

Just got my Epic today.
Bad news: Epic can't play WTV files using allshare. It can play avi files.
Good news: Allshare can stream videos from phone to DMA2200. I videoed my kid and played it to the big screen TV wirelessly.
WTV is only playable on Media Center PC with Windows Media Center installed.

hope it also helps for you
i have to admit converting wtv to a more popular video format like mp4, avi, wmv is a method to play wtv on most media player or portable devices just as the above one mentioned. and this method does work for me
but i am a wtv fan, is there some way to directly play wtv on my new ipad mini?

really does this play wtv on android? it's too bad MSFT doesn't make a windows media portable for android.
I in order to play wtv on any meida player or portable device, a recommended solution is convert wtv to a more popular video format like convert wtv to avi, wmv, mp4, mov, vob, flv, asf, mpg and etc

thank you, but most of the software app need to pay, luckily it does helps me to convert wtv files
I installed the alpha version of VLC media player and was able to directly play a 1080P WMV file which is not currently supported by Amazon media player. Playback wasn't entirely smooth, but not sure if this is due to a alpha software that may not support the video accleration features of the Fire. In any case, this shows that VLC will allow us to play other formats than what Amazon is supporting.
Anyone try TetherGPS?
Has anyone tried a simple .AVI file?
yea, the bundled dash limits showing most video files moved to the device in the videos tab. This being said if you install mxplayer or any other relevant vid player and use root explorer or even go launcher playing most divx / avi videos is a breeze.
Well doesnt the nook Tablet have the same processor and stuff that the Fire does. I know the Nook Tablet can play 1080p so why couldnt the fire?
The VLC app for Android is in Alpha version so maybe trying another fully tested and released player known to work with Nook at 1080P is in order to compare apples to apples.
I wasn't able to play an XviD encoded AVI, but sideloading Moboplayer (com.clov4r.android.nil-1.apk) works great.

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded moboplayer pro (free) from the Android Market and it played the 1080P WMV much smoother than the VLC player alpha.
what kind video does nexus play? I tried a avi file, it days there is a problem playing the file, would not open.
I'm wondering this as well. I have all my movies ripped as avi and wanted to put one movie on my device just in case I'm somewhere I can't stream. Apparently takes MP4, H.264, H.263 so we'll have to re-rip for the wider screen. I bought DVD Catalyst 4 for ~$10.
I use mx video player to play avi&wmv files. You have to use the software setting to play the videos correctly.
DICE Player for me, works 100% for everything I throw at it.
dice player is for trial 3 days.
rock player lite works. I tried avi, flv, both playing fine.
I could not find the menu in mx player.
why default built in video player can't play any video?
