So I was poking around and found out that the VLC beta isn't fully supported for the N7 just yet. Most of my movies are in .avi format and the native Google Movies app doesn't support it.
My question is, is there any decent movie/video players out there that will support the .avi format? Paid or free, doesn't really matter to me.
I tried about 10 players, the only one that played my mkv's properly was dice player

I use MX player, plays all my .mkv and such fine. Also streams from my NAS no problem.
Hrm, didn't work for me. Had video, no audio.

MX works for me - plays .avi from external flash drive. Happy camper here.
Alright, tried mx player again. Switched to sw decoder (fast), works perfect now. Woot.

I am currently using DicePlayer with the custom plugin for DTS. Plays every MKV I have thrown at it over wireless, up to 1080p.

Did you have to do anything else to make it play from the external flash drive?

Yes, agreed. It plays everything I can throw at it. Even takes a stream from my satellite box.
I tried playing an MKV with VPlayer and MX Player, neither seemed to play properly. Tried BS Player and that worked perfectly.
Hmmm, not sure why but I have no sound when using MX player....anyone esle?

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 !!
What do you guys use?
I'm looking to buy one, but can't really decide on which one to buy.
Dice player.
I like mx player. It was included with remics ROM, and it grew on me. It's not compatible with JB yet though.
Edit: The 1.6 update added support for JB. Seems like there are good developers working on it.
It is now

It does support HW Acceleration on GNex and never had problems with shuttering so far, but then again i don't watch long movies and big files. Mostly watch anime on it.

MX and Dice Player are the best options imo, I've only been using MX player though as it hasn't given me any problem with any of my movies including 720 & 1080p flicks. I heard MX dropped DTS support so some movies may not have sound, that's where dice player comes in.

Yeah, I kinda regret buying MXPlayer Pro. Should have read up more before buying anything. BSPlayer is good but, no screen lock.
DICE Player plays my .avi files but, sometimes, I have to start them a couple of times because the video will fc and throw me back to the Skifta Video Browse screen. Weird.
Yes it is good, but I want an app that hides the soft keys like the video app which incidentally works great for mp4 files.

The main reason I switched was becuase I was getting no audio with .mkv files in MX Player, whereas in BS Player all the files I tried were ok.

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
As the title suggests and asks: Is there a 4.3 compatible media player?
MX, DicePlayer, VLC, etc. have left 4.3 users in the cold until they update their apps for Android 4.3 compability.
Others have reported BS Player, Mobo, etc to work, but they either result choppy or or audio/sound only but no picture.
I've tried ES File Manger's built-in player, Gallery. There's .mkv playback, but ES/Gallery are pretty slow/choppy and can't keep up and such.
MX has been quite fast with such an update in the past. Let's hope it's the same this time round.

For me that does not work. There is no "This version is unsupported" message but cannot get video and sound to work. Some modes (SW) even close MX player without an error or anything.
I was reading about that bug, I just got done watch in a bluray rip so I dunno? Tried attaching but I'm getting a token error...I'll look at the site and see which one I have.
UPDATE yep thats what im runnin. K I'm running stock settings and mp4 plays perfect. I wonder if its codec related. Do you have any mp4 video you could test?

Hardware acceleration on vplayer don't work. Only in BSPlayer work proper
K after messing around trying to play a 720p video on vplayer(choppy as hell), bs(not much better) and MX player had no audio on mkv I got VLC. The latest nightly runs almost as good as MX, few weird pops and clicks, but totally watchable.

Tried VPlayer for a while. It was a nice run with VPlayer, but it's a battery clog/drainer, the holo ui is a nice thing about it, though.
That said, DicePlayer (my personal favorite and preferred choice) got 2 or 3 updates a few days ago and has been playing everything smoothly.
I got an update for MX Player earlier today, everything appears to be working again. Just thought I'd throw it out there for MX Player users/fans.
