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?
Anyone found apps that play 720p mkv smoothly? (Type of stuff you get off the internet..)

I use my movie player, works quite nicely with 720p

I use Mx player.
You can even choose between HW acceleration or SW acceleration.

MX Player here. Uses HW acceleration, super smooth. Tried Dice Player and VPlayer, had lots of bugs on audio and video was not very smooth.

I tried MxPlayer and DicePlayer and found that DicePlayer gives me better image quality and plays everything I feed it without any problems.
My tip is to try out both Mx and DicePlayer.

I tried MX Player it failed to play MOV format (1080p) it was a trailer later I tried Mobo Player it works like a charm.
I've noticed the same with those players, that they support different formats, so there is no single best player really.
Like someone mentioned, MOV plays nicely with one or two players, while MKV plays nicely with few others.
I simply use 2 players which support all file formats I use.
Coming from Galaxy Nexus, I find these two very good: DicePlayer and MX Player, also heard BS Player to be very good too.

+1 for diceplayer

Built in HTC Video player for both mkv (720p &1080p) as well as FLVs downloaded from YouTube. I have dice just in case, but had no reason to use it yet

I would rather use the stock player too, but unfortunately it plays my mkv files without sound.
Which would be the better option? Converting the file to fit the stock player, or use players like MX Player to play those files?
Thanks
MX Player. Can switch between SW and HW decoding on the fly, and you can choose for the audio to be SW or HW too, independant of video decoding.
Yeah been using MX for a while, just concern that whether there are any compromises in sound quality when playing mkv with SW acceleration instead of HW

I've never needed to go SW sound before so I can't really say.
I've got a few 720p mkv videos and it doesn't play with sound if it's in HW mode.
The only way for me to play it with sound now is to set it to SW (fast mode or normal one).
So right now I'm just wondering if it's better to re-encode the audio so that the stock player can play it in HW, or just use MX Player and play it in SW.
Will do some experiments after I get back from work

MX can do separate encode modes for video and audio. You can run video on HW and audio on SW if you want.
Dice player plays it all but there is only one little problem with it. While playing videos there are 3 white dots (menu) remain on screen......i hope its updated soon.

Yeah but I wanna try playing the audio on HW. MX can't do that. Dice can though.

i dont have this phone yet, i want to see if it supports those samples in stock player or dice player or mx player hw mode
Both play in MX...
720p with s/w decoding
480p with h/w decoding
Dice plays 480 fine h/w decode, but stumbles and falls over on 720 s/w decoding.....gets almost to the end of clip, then freeze [old DICE version]
Default video player only 480 plays..

BTW MX Player is awesome video player. I choose it as my default one and I am very satisfied with it.
1024 p movie can be play on our phone but at the same time you will get miss-match voice with motion so no point to play such a high quality movie with our phone..480/ 720 Would be good enough

I'm trying to find a video player for movies and TV shows that has hardware decoding that works. I mostly play Xvid avi files and some x264 mkv/mp4s. I've tried MX PLayer, but h/w and h/w+ decoding is slow and choppy.
Any suggestions?

MX player is the best. Try Dice Player though.

The Gnex doesn't seem to be very good at HW decoding Xvid AVIs (one has to use an SW decoder, really) but it is very capable at playing any sort of x264/H.264/AVC video in MP4 and MKV containers even up to 1080p resolution. I normally use MX player's HW+ decoder for these and it works brilliantly.
For your AVIs you'll need to try out the SW decoder, the GPU just can't handle acceleration of them. The specs for the Gnex list that it can only play MP4/H.264/H.263 anyway so it's not a surprise. As long as the Xvid AVIs aren't in HD MX Player's SW decoder should be able to handle them perfectly, that's what I find anyway.
Another option that hasn't got as nice an interface but is very capable is BSPlayer, it also works very well but cannot get around the fact that the GPU can't handle XVID.

Thank you for the helpful and informative reply, just what I needed!
There is video playback error in most custom roms and hd videos can't be played smoothly on MXplayer. Do you use any variety video player which plays video smoothly
Did you try playing with VLC player ? Sometimes the videos which are not smooth in MX, works awesome in VLC.
