Mobo Player
even plays 720p MKVs
I just watched a Top Gear UK show in 720p losing 19% battery charge and it was as smooth as silk with Diceplayer.
This is probably the only player you'll ever need if you are into downloading stuff from the internet, copying it to your SDcard and watching on the phone.
Mobo player for sure, even support subtitles

Moboplayer for the nice UI and usability, Diceplayer for HD mkv etc.
After reading the post, i too have installed mobo player and by far it is the best player. Two thumbs up !!!

Mobo FTW, I do think it lag to play 1080...but I believe that is just hardware limitation.
Hey guys!
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a couple days now, and I was thinking of loading it up with some movies I have at home. The problem is, I've ripped the movies in 720p .mp4 format on my Mac - but it won't play with the stock ICS player.. Rock Player works sort of, it shows video but it doesn't hide the on-screen buttons.
Rip details is: 720p h.264, AAC audio
Any ideas?

Yeah, stock gallery doesnt play wide range of codecs yet so I rely on MX player instead. But having the same problem tho about the on screen buttons :/
I find that the "dice" player from android market plays more stuff than any thing i can get straight .mkv files running perfect on my GN it is a paid app for the full version but im happy with it.

Do you have the stay-on-screen-buttons problem on Dice Player?
The only player that plays movies in full screen is Dice Player....but it has been removed from the market.
Have you tried Mobo Player? Works great on my Nexus S with mkv/mp4/whatever.

It needs some codec (which cannot find in market) to download first in order to use it...
Make sure you use the right mp4 level I think level 4 is the Max android will recognize all my encodes work so far

I'm using MX video player and MX Video Player CODEC.
Doubletwist is also very good.
All available from the market and have had no issues playing anything so far.

Cool, I forgot about Doubletwist, thanks.
I currently use QQPlayer, Diceplayer premium and Rockplayer. They all seem to play some files and not others.
I tried Moboplayer but ran into trouble installing the codec during the install process (even when installing 'offline')

Update - I just tried Doubleplayer, and while it plays everything it stuggles at times. More jerky (lower frame rate?) than QQPlayer.
I'd be happy with QQPlayer but the seek doesn't play nice. So if I miss something I have to start the video from scratch. And like I say, Dice, Mobo, Rockplayer and Realplayer (yes I was desperate) all appear to have various problems of their own.
I do recall VLC being released a year or so ago. But I guess it was pulled too?
I'd love to know if anyone has found a decent video app... (*I have a 4.5 hour daily commute into London!*)
Dice Player ftw!

Many people reported that it crashes on ICS, is that happened to you too?
Quick question for you gentlemen regarding video playback. I have some 720p mkv files on my media server and am having issues playing them back on any ics rom. They play perfect on nearly any player on touchwiz and flawless on vplayer in hardware mode on cm7. Anyone have any ideas on what I could do for cm9 to have the same playing capability? I hate touchwiz but the camera and video work flawless on it and seems like it may be the best bet for me atm.
have u tried flashing some of the other kernels?

That won't matter

As marc said it doesn't matter but yes I have since I like to play with most major roms and kernels released. About to test miui b1 in a bit but I doubt it'll make any difference still I was just hoping a dev had some insight on this.
does cm9 not do hw decoding?
the option is greyed out on mine
on vplayer it allows the option and seems like it tries. mx player not so much. not having much luck with vlc either.
That's weird because they work fine over here on mx player.. did you search mkv video player in the market
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
well again ill say I've tried mx player (with codec packs and without(, the latest vlc nightly, and I own the pro version of vplayer. I tried with vplayers old codec packs and its built in. hw displays 0 picture with vplayer and stutters heavily on vplayer. the isn't that it can't play the file, the issue is it doesn't play it as it does on cm7 and tw. these are 720p video files with fast action. and not anime stuff.
vplayer works great on cm7 but doesn't play in hw mode on cm9. the stock video player on tw works best, but vplayer also works on tw pretty well too. mx is lame sauce.
i get a no picture on vplayer also
the video im using doesnt have any weird encoding options either; its just a video i downloaded off of youtube, so pretty standard
is this just a bug with cm9? maybe it needs to be reported. i dont see anyone mention it in the tracker
Anyone know which Video/Media player has the most compatibility when it comes to video and audio?
My household has electronics (PCs, PVRs, Tablets, Phones, etc.) across various platforms/OS and I'm looking for a video/media player that I can
put on my SGS3, which will run anything I throw at it.
File types range from avi, divx, mp4, mov, wmv, etc. and codecs for the said vids range from xvid, divx, h264, vc-1, sorenson, etc. ;
audio codec follow accordingly, ranging from wma, mp3, acm, ogg, etc.
Thank you for the input
mx player
I have tried a few but Dice player has been the best IMO.
I'm a big fan of the VLC player for Android
Act1 is one of the first apps I always reinstall after a ROM FLASH.
Dice Player. And it's not close.
Thank you for all the suggestions.
I'll try out each one and see which one fits my needs

Ive had great success with this. I really like how you can swipe up/down on the left side of the screen to change brightness and swipe up/down on the right side to adjust volume. Not to mention all native file types supported.

Exciting news to someone who has been using xbmc for over 10 years. Are you saying you have already compiled a version for the S3?

MX Player plays them, and everything else I've thrown at it, just fine.

I've been a HUGE fan of Dice Player on my old Captivate, mostly because it's the only good player with samba/cifs (windows) network share support built-in. But, on my SGS3, it freezes up after the first second on a LOT of videos that MX Player handles just fine, so, MX Player wins until Dice gets fixed.
(honorable mention: MoboPlayer (... back in the day ... ))
edit: Dice might behave differently under stock Touchwiz than CM9/CM10, as I've only ever used DicePlayer on CM7 and CM9 (and diff hw, but is fine on my Nexux7 too).

Tried the following till now:
Mobo
Vplayer
dice
easy
And it seems like as people have suggested, MX has to most wide arrange of compatibility.

Apparently, Dice Player had a licensing issue and they released an update that constricted file compatibility. Good thing I read changelogs, as the pre-update version has proven to be an excellent option (have yet to be unable to play a file). I guess I slept on MX Player; after looking at its capabilities, I need to add it to my list .

I have a pretty big collection of HD movies with DTS soundtrack and none of the common media players like MX player or QQ player and even the stock samsung player could decode DTS. I looked around in the interwebs and came across VLC player beta which gets the job done. Also it is pretty good at playing back high bitrate videos where others players stutter a lot or wont even open the file. For example this 40 mbps sample
http://www.auby.no/files/video_tests/h264_1080p_hp_4.1_40mbps_birds.mkv
Just install as a regular app from any file manager.
TIP: Enable HW acceleration in settings for smooth 1080p playback
VLC is not yet available in play store for US and Canada. Hope a stable version is released soon.
Your the man, been wanting this forever! I have a ton of high bit rate videos in mkv format.
Does it get updated constantly? Last time I tried vlc beta I was on the g2 and it honestly ducked. Coming from using vlc on all my computers it just Sucks on the phone.

Without a market link I have no way to tell if this is regularly updated. But the way it is now it comes handy for me due to the unique capabilities I mentioned in the OP, and I havent had any issues using it.
giving it a try, seems pretty good so far. I also tried it back on my GSII (tmobile) and it was buggy and unreliable

V player is a paid app, and it has some issues like audio out of sync especially if you play over network from a Windows share.

Well, this player wont play my mkv's. Choppy, pixelated. The built in video player, believe it or not, is the ONLY player I can find that works. Not that that is an issue or anything, only sucks if I want to run CM10. Thanks for the post anyways!

V Player doesn't work for me either. Maybe my videos are to high def, IDK, but nothing will play them. They are all 720 and 1080.

Did you enable hw acceleration in the preferences? I tried several formats including mkv, m2ts, mp4 etc and everything has worked well so far, 720p and 1080p. But anyways mkv is just a container and its possible your videos are encoded in some strange format.

Found out today this player can even decode lossless multichannel formats like DTS master HD and Dolby tru HD. That's very impressive! Nothing it couldn't handle so far.

Works real nice for me with one exception on .3gp files. The sound is horrible with those files and I tried all three options for audio in Preferences. The only other thing that annoys is that box that opens every single time you open or back out. Any way to disable that, I can't find one? There was someone in France who was working on his own hack that I used on my Vibrant. I'll have to see if those will work for my S3. Anyway, I've got to keep an eye on this, it is really awesome although not finished.
I have found it doesn't work on S3 with hardware acceleration for certain codecs like wmv3.
Also, just FYI, if you have Settings > Sounds > Auto Haptic ON
VLC will vibrate entire time audio is playing (not movies), but this is also
true with winamp on S3.
Also note that you should get the VLC beta for Neon nightly builds and
that the Play Store is disabled for download from US and Canada until full
release, so you have to get .apk from the nightly builds.

I actually found two other non-official versions (one is the nightly) and one of those is running really well although I'd really like to disable the Toast Frame that says it's a Beta. I may try Andridu's version that I used to have on my Vibrant. It didn't have that.
