What is the best media player for MKV video files??
Not to sure if it plays mkv files but you should try MX player!

Gs3 stock video player can play mkv file. You can try vplayer and MXplayer

MX Player hasn't failed me yet. Smooth playback using the software renderer rather than the hardware rendering for some reason though. Anyways, it works very well.

This would be my suggestion as well.
There's also Rockplayer, it's been awhile since I've used it but it did the job well. Has the most used video and audio codecs embeded.
Also, the stock video player will play the mkv files as long as it has the supported audio codec, can't recall the exact one...

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.

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 !!
I have already tried MX Player, Moboplayer, and Diceplayer, and all of them seem to lag while playing 720p mkv files. Are there any video players that can play without lag causing the audio and video to go out of sync?
Try mx again and turn audio to software decoding (not hardware). Fixed my sync issues.

I haven't tried it yet, but VLC player may be another option to look into.
If you are in North America, get VLC from here:

Ita still beta but works pretty well from what I've seen.

Thanks for the link. I had sideloaded an outdated VLC Beta a while back since it's the only player that (for me) plays 1080p h/w accelerated with DTS audio outofthebox -- (DicePlayer does too, with a /sdcard/libffmpeg.so plugin) -- and hadn't updated in a while.
you might want to give mVideoPlayer a go as well!
Does anyone know why video playback is choppy on AOSP Roms? I tried the native player, MX player, and a few others and it is very choppy. Is there a solution?

What videos you playing? In MX player, go to settings.. Decoder. Try enabling hw decoding.
I played back youtube videos, from the phone, and video I shot with my DSLR. Plays back fine for me with MX player and the stock gallery video player.

I will try that. Playback works fine on all other Roms except AOSP. Plays back choppy. YouTube is fine. Just downloaded clips seem to be the issue

Hey guys, I been having some problems playing mkv movies on my phone, I have some 720p mkv movies and most of them don't play good, the audio and videk are out of sync, what could be the problem?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
If they are in sync on your computer then the problem is your video player. MX Player plays my 720p vids just fine.
You should try playing the video on one of the following 3 players. Dice player, MX player, and BS player. There are some videos where one would play it better than the other (depending on how the video was encoded). Make sure the video are playing in H/W (hardware mode) not S/W (software mode).

Turn on hardware decoding in mxplayer.

Hi guys.
Can you please tell me if your stock video player can read bluray hd movies and ac3 codec audio ?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
bs and mx player work for me. you'll need to dl a custom codec for mx player though. archos works with the free codec, but its performance has been crappy after the last few updates so i've quit using it. it's got the best UI though.

i dont know what you mean by bluray hd movies but, stock player does not support AC3 codec...
mx player works very well and it does not require other codecs to download... dice player is very good too...
Had same issue with MOBO player when I wanted to play a Bluray copy, so I downloaded Dice and BSPlayer - MOBO player decided it would play the file but not audio (Need codec), Dice didn't want to play the file at all while BSPlayer was the only one that decided to work flawlessly.
So i recommend BSPlayer but all three (If you can be bothered to mess about with codecs) are very good video players.
sadly, if you grab a 2012 gn 10.1 you'll have ac3 in the stock player. they chose not to license it int this version.
