So I have been considering the Ion as an upgrade from my ATRIX 4g but I have one criteria than the next phone I get cannot fail, or else there is no point in upgrading my phone because overall, I am happy with my current phone. I was wondering if the ion has the ability to natively decode hi-profile H.264 encoded video in an .mkv file. I have literally thousands of files on my PC and I don't want to re-encode them, especially because most of them have subtitles and that makes them extra hard to re-encode.
So if someone could find and test out some h.264 hi-profile encoded mkv video in 720p or 1080p, and report back the results of how it played, I would be super grateful! (Just FYI most .mkv files are h264 and most videos encoded in h.264 are encoded in hi-profile, so the files aren't that rare in case it seemed daunting to find a file like that) Thanks so much!

I have tried a few like that and they seem to work just fine using MX player on the Ion. The files I tried were at least 720p mkv files and h.264 encoded.

+1 Confirmed. MX Player is the jam! I have yet to try 1080p personally, so I can't report on that. But all of my movies that are MKV H.264 720p, play just fine.
I use dice player and 1080p .mkv's are smooth as butter and even send to my bravia TV flawlessly

Well, if you don't mind answering, for you, what are the things you find to be a negative aspect of the Ion? What about the phone arent you happy with?
i uploaded this to my phone,......and it runs pretty smooth on Hardware mode and Software mode,..... via MX Player

The only thing that I don't like, is while on a head set call, the phone screen turns off at call end, even if you're using it during the call. Other than that, I love this phone.

Could you go to http://www.h264info.com/clips.html and download the clip titled Serenity – 720p “On HD DVD” Trailer and tell me how it runs on the phone. On my Atrix, it lags a lot and the audio gets totally out of sync. Other videos, even in 1080p, I can play fine- so long as they aren't encoded in high-profile. Thanks.

I had ordered my Desire from Mobiles.co.uk, but as I was driving past CPW in Chiswick on Saturady, I popped in and 15mins later I walked out with one!
I have had an HTC Diamond 2 (WM6.5) and an iPhone in the past, and I am totally delighted with it! Being new to Android, Im just feeling my way round things, but even now, I have to say it is the best phone Ive ever had!
I cannot work out how to play movies on the Desire! I moved a movie file over to the SD card (via USB) and I just cant find any app to play the movie - heck, I cant even find any built in utility to browse the SD card with! Does the Desire have an inbuilt video player, or do I need to install one from the market? Are any highly recommended?
This stupid newbie would really like some help!
If the video is formattet correctly it should be playable from the "Albums" app.
and no native file browser is installed, but I can recommend Estrong file explorer (will also let you browse windows shares on wifi and FTP)
Aaah.... Ill try that! I was looking for some dedicated movie app, but couldnt find one installed. Am I correct in thinking that MP4 format movies (as with the iPhone) are what the Desire plays? And any ideas what the `best` settings I use in my encoder (tmpgenc)?

Hey there. I really reccommend using doubleTwist on your PC - it's free and works really well with the Desire. It syncs your music and video files - and makes all your video files playable on the desire too as it does a conversion during the copy.
I've tested it by syncing a divx file on my pc with the desire - it plays great using the desire video player.

Well I tried a 42minute divx file. It took about 5-10mins to copy (transcoding as it copied I guess) and the quality was perfect. No lip sync issues or anything that you might find in a dodgy conversion.
I took a look at the new file on the SD Card - it was the same size but now intead of the divx file (avi container) it was a .mp4

Ill give it a go when I get in from work
I used super last night to convert an xvid avi, output quality was awful.
Installed double twist which has a striking resemblance of iTunes..lol I thought these android phones were meant to be iphone competition? however they are becoming similar in many ways.. Pinch to zoom, app store, navigation menu sliding.. Itunes/double twist.
Anyway Doubletwist done a great job of converting an xvid avi, although first attempt the converted video was nowhere to be found on my phone after the sync..
So I did it again and watched some 24 on the train this morning.. Quality was great..
Although I did have my touch HD as backup encase the conversion wasn't good.
For any one struggling to find the videos on your phone, open the Photo's app.
Not sure why its called Photos as it opens pictures and videos..

I played with the Video playback functionality on Desire yesterday.
It accepts MP4 container with H.264 video encoding (up to L5.1, but only BASELINE profiles) + AAC for audio.
MP4 - 1000 kbits H.264 + 128 kbits (stereo), 800x480, 25fps MP4 is very fluent.
AVI - isn't supported
XVID may be supported too, but probably only in a MP4 container.
Hi guys,
I'm suffering trying to get some videos to play on my epic. They are MKV: h264 (848x480) and ogg. At first I thought the phone saying it wouldn't support the video was the audio codec, which I tried remuxed as mp3 and wav, neither helped. At this point I am wondering it the h264 resolution isn't supported?
However, another weird issue is my epic also won't play some videos I already reformatted for my ipad.These are MP4: h264 768x576 and AAC. I can't imagine the epic being more limited than the crippled ipad...
Am I missing something here? Everywhere I look, all of these formats are supposed to be supported (well, maybe not ogg). Also, every once in awhile one of these combinations will play, but with missing audio, no subs, can't seek, freezing video, etc. Always some error, and usually just outright says the system doesn't support the format.
Thanks for the help guys, this is stressing me out lol, so sick of trying conversions.
What software are you using? Handbrake with Normal profile works just fine on the Epic (but High Profile does not work).
Last time I tried to find a decent video transcoder for Windows it was a nightmare, maybe this will help you (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Free_video_conversion_software).
If that doesn't workout you could try this: Find a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, burn it to cd, when its loaded click "Try Ubuntu", and once connected to the internet press Alt+F2 and copy in "(sudo apt-get install arista); arista-gtk". I tried another program called Transmaggedon, but although it gave more control over transcoding, it didn't appear to work.
Ya handbreak did work. Unfortunately I still have to demux both the original and post-hb file to transfer the subs over as handbreak isn't doing it.
Thx for the help. I would still like to know the resolution limitation tho so if anyone knows...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
So I have been fooling around with it some more and found that when I recode using handbreak I don't need to change the vid resolution, just have to force it to 24fps and everything, vid/audio/subs, sync fine (source is 30fps).
I don't think the epic supports ogg/vorbis audio, which explains why the source material didn't work, but then after remuxing with compatible audio why wouldn't it work? All I can think of is handbreak is compressing the bitrate even though I'm not changing any settings there...
I'll update with any new findings.
I took another look around and it looks like SUPER would work quite well. It can use FFmpeg which has support for pretty much every known format and gives you a lot of control over the output. I really didn't expect to find anything this good on Windows, but FFmpeg was originally used under GNU/Linux, so it isn't as surprising.

Strange, I run mkv with no problem at all. I use Double Twist as my player. Not sure whether this has built in codecs for mkv. I never checked because I can play everything on my phone. Except damn Netflix of course.
Thx for the recommendation chinoto.
The mkv capablity should be built into the phone independent of the software playing it (at least that's my understanding). All of my reencoded mkv's are working fine which I'm attrbuting to the lower bit rate.
The original bitrate was 1,534Kbps (video), handbreak compresses it to 681Kbps at the same resolution (24fps from 30fps original for sync though).
What's the highest bitrate you guys have had work correctly (no syncing issues even after seeking)?

Those phones support playback of some .mkv files because the respective manufacturers have included support via their modifications to Android. The Galaxy Nexus is a stock Android device, and as such, will likely only have limited support for video and music files. If anyone wants additional functionality that stock Android doesn't offer, that is what apps on the market / ROMs are for

so a simple remux to ts (a few seconds to do) would be OK but most would need audio transcoding too (creating sync issues)
can anyone recommend a decent, unrestricted, free video player for mkv with h.264 and will do aac, mp3 and ac3 audio?

The IVA 3 multimedia accelerator integrated into the OMAP 4460 is capable of decoding 1080p30 video, providing an application is available to take advantage of this you should be able to play most HD content.
I like to be able to watch anime on my N7 and torrent movies. What's the best video player for our N7 tablet? Here are the compatible codecs of Tegra 3. What other problems you've got with these codecs and players, list them below.
Tips: I read this site talking about tricks and tips for Nexus 7. The browser app they recommended really work for my animate site. Puffin Web Browser, give it a shot guys. 14 days trial, I went ahead and bought it too. Flash working perfectly in full screen. If you need flash to stream online movies, give this browser a shot. Front camera now can record 720p by buying camera ICS+ on Play Store or install am update zip from hillbeast.
Update2: As of 6/3/2013 1080p 10bit video color is still a bit distorted on (HW+) MX Player but as far as i know, no player can handle 10bit perfectly yet. Good job to the guys at MX Player.
DTS audio codec problem solved: go to MX's settings>decoder>download custom codec. Once you got it downloaded use any unzip app to copy that folder out. Go back to MX's settings>decoder>custom codec to pick that unzipped folder.
Thanks to: Mohan_168, many others for DTS reports.

Mobo Player is a great free video player in the Play Store.
Why did you reserve a second post?
As you have already listed, Tegra 3 supports the majority of codecs in use today, with the exception of H.264 10-bit (Hi10P) profile. Many anime groups release stuff in both 8-bit and 10-bit. Since most people are still waiting for their Nexus 7 to arrive, including myself, you are better off sticking to 8-bit releases for now until people can confirm if 10-bit playback is possible.

For space incase later I need to add more info on players+codecs. I used Mobo Players a year ago, still waiting for the N7 to test out all the stuffs that can be play and the one having problems. No players was perfect a year ago on GB and ICS. Hopefully everything got iron out.
I emailed Dice Player Devs & asked them if they can update for JB but I guess they are probably waiting to get their hands on one, since I never got a reply.
There's Mx Player and Vplayer.
diceplayer support JB from ver 2.0.8
BS Player
I'm just hoping bs player will be along soon. It's worked perfectly on my EVO View 4G and my photon 4G even allows me to play files off of my server with no transcoding required.
Seems the default player doesn't support the mkv container.
Dice does work and does support hardware playback of mkv.
My favourite player is still mVideoPlayer, still the only that I've come across that remembers what I've watched. So I'm back to converting all my content across to mp4.

Damn, I was hoping they got mkv file iron out. Most HD anime subbed using mkv container.
Edit: they did mxplayer and bsplayer play mkv. nicely with mxplayer you have to set decoder and subtitles manually (one time) in settings.
I'll be using CifsManager to mount a windows network share containing all my movies/tv series, then use MX Player. From there you can easily add everything from the Windows share to MX Player's Folder Scan. I've tested this on my phone and it works very impressively. My soon-to-come tablet should replace my netbook very easily now

VPlayer. I've found it to be the best media player on 4.1 right now but that's sure t change soon.
I'm really surprised that nobody has mentioned VLC, its my goto desktop video player, it's still in beta but it seems to be working fine if you manually install the apk.
Link to post with VLC apk
MX Player with the V7 codec pack works pretty good on the N7, just be sure to set it to software render if you want audio on some of the more obscure codecs.
I also recommend Skifta from Qualcomm as a pretty solid and low-frills DNLA app for LAN streaming that works fine with 4.1/4.1.1

Best movie player for 1080p and 720p .mkv files? I've already got some movies ready to test the screen when it arrives at the start of August.
What is the best player for .mkv videos with DTS audio? Does VLC support this? I have over 100 blurays in .mkv format with DTS audio and would like to play them without converting.
Hi guys, so can anyone verify if the VLC plays 1080p MKVs fine on the Nexus 7...?
I usually use the Mxplayer on my Nexus 10 & Note 2. It plays pretty much everything I throw at it.
I noticed that the Mxplayer was either not compatible or having issues playing some .mkv files (no audio)
Has it been updated since 2 weeks ago? That's the last time I ran it.
Also, which version and plug in is the right one for our device? Thanks.

I guess you didn't read my post? That version works great.
Figured out that MX Player works great with DTS MKVs just as it did before S/W for audio decoder

One more option if you are streaming local content, try the latest xbmc nightly. It streams all mkv's ive tried beautifully for me, plus the ui is nice!

I've been using MX Player to play recorded TV shows from my linux box. Just simple links in a web page served by apache, and MX Player works great on my local network. I even whipped out a cgi script to play the next show I haven't watched yet when I click it, so I don't have to scroll down the list to find where I left off.
Next week my NFC tags should come in, so I'll see if I can stick a tag on my treadmill I can tap to start playing the next show each time I get on the treadmill (nothing like saving as much energy as possible during exercise .
MXplayer is a great player without a doubt, but recently I am using VLC player more and more. Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.videolan.vlc.betav7neon
The quality is awesome support almost anything, so I would recommended the VLC.

I was wondering about vlc. I hope they will include a chrome cast add on.
Thanks for the link but it seems it's not available in the US for some reason
You can side-load VLC from their nightly builds directory:
http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/
I've been using it mostly for music since it can play all my .wma files. MX Player works better for streamed movies since it can pick up where it left off, but VLC seems to get disconnected from the server if you pause too long.
I noticed that my mkv files would keep dropping frames with MXplayer until I enabled the H/W+ decoder in the settings. You may want to try enabling this if you haven't done so already.
mxplayer can hardware decode mkv mp4 1080p although bsplayer can also decode perfectly but only software decode

Latest vision can do it and don't forget setup the decoding package (arm v7 neon and arm v7 perhaps the former is enough) at the same time diceplayer can hardware decode 1080p flv amd mp4 vplayer shows it can hardware decode rmvb but I don't know wether it's true
