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.

MX players seems to be the consensus. Trying it meow

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.

[Q] Can your nexus handle 720p videos?

As above. I am running AOKP ROM and Franco kernel. Did not OC. 720p videos will go out of sync with the audio. Some of the videos will also stutter a little.
Anyone managed a smooth playing 720p?

i can even stream them thorugh youtube (stock/stock btw)

Try BSPlayer Free.

+1 BSPlayer Free - I am able to play full 1080p mkv's and even some 1080p m2ts vids with it. Some of those have issues on MX Player but the sound output from MX seems to be better. Haven't had issues with vids yet on BSPlayer though.

ive had no problems with mobo player and 720p videos.

I was using MX player and watching HD anime rips.
Maybe I give BS player a go and see.
YouTube HQ works fine. Its just the HD mkvs

Videos, codecs, players

I'm having trouble playing some videos on my phone. They are .mp4 videos and I'm trying to play them in MoboPlayer. The video opens for a second and then closes and I get a message saying the video can't be played and to try soft decoding. When I try soft decoding, the video plays but it's really slow or choppy. Any thoughts about whether it's a codec issue? I can play .wmv files fine. I've tried other players. Could it be an HD issue, the videos are 1080p? I'm running the latest Viper ROM.
Thanks.

Yeah it's the 1080p part. Have you tried MX player though? Wicked sweet player with tons of functions. I would get a file converter n bring it down to 720 honestly.

That worked. Guess I don't need 1080p on a 4" screen

[Q] problem with video player

I have problems running some movies. Videos are played slowly. I've installed the MX player but the videos are played slowly.

Try MoboPlayer + Codecs for ARMv6 and Gio have problems with some videos HD or with high bitrate.

I installed moboplayer and codec 6 but the videos are played slowly

Every video? it's weird, can you write properties one of your video? I mean resolution, bitrate etc, maybe this videos have too good quality like for Gio.

Kinda strange, if the ROM has working libstagefright.

[Q] Best video player for the Xperia Play?

Hi there all.
This is a simple question: what's the best video player for the Xperia Play? I mean, for playing HD (720p, not 1080p) content.
I used a lot Moboplayer, but it slows a lot in HD videos, even installing the codecs... And the latest versions of Moboplayer take a while to start and it's a bit annoying...
What video player do you use for HD content? Please, if the recommendation you give needs some codec, say wich one (a direct link can be even more helpfull!).
