VLC is pretty great for being an alpha. Stock player is still the best though.
Nothing beats stock player atm. I'm on CM7, so I don't have the flawless Samsung player, hence I also need a replacement. The best I've got so far is mobo player, however it can't handle HD videos that well. There's also Rock player, but to me it seemed even worse than Mobo player. I've also gave VLC player a try, but in this alpha stage it's unusable; it has lower than 1 FPS on HD videos. So, I'm waiting for improvements on either of them.
I use QQPlayer for playing RMVB files. Super I should say
Vplayer, all the way.

Multi audio track in single file.
Single MKV/MP4 file may have 2 or more audio track.
some players like dice,mx can choose audio track.
Ohk. Thanks

There seems to be 2 Mobo players on the market. The original one, and a "newer" one. No idea if the newer one is legit or notably different.
Generally, there is very little the stock player won't handle, if you find something then Mobo seems to be able to deal with it.
My Samsung Galaxy s2 Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 Files with Ac3 audio decoded. I was able to play those using Dice player or rockplayer. But i dont have an option called 5.1 to enable on those players unlinke stock player.
The official Samsung Site or other specification gives the specification (This is from wikipedia)
For audio it supports (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF). For video formats and codecs it supports (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX HD/XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (ASF) as well as AVI (DivX)).
Issues:
1. Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audio files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded (Stock Media Player gives the Option 5.1 to be enabled but ac3 not playing)
2. Other players play it Under software decoding, But main Problem is 5.1 isn't working with Head phones
I googled and found some Users were able to Play it with stock media Players. Read something like "I dont have any problem playing those files, I just copy and play them"
I am now confused is this happeneing with my device alone, So guys how do you dea this?
Please reply so that i would be grateful to you guys
Until someone makes video codec for the sg2 Mali gpu, no software codec will be able to handle high res video better than the stock video player, or lower res video with the same battery efficiency.
That being said, audio decoding and subtitle handling don't need that horsepower, and more and more players mix stock decoder hardware features for the video part and software management for the rest.

Something is wrong or missing, can't really give you an answer because I never seen that happen before. Should give more info about the file your trying to play.
Besides that, why not just stick to the 3rd party apps. I stop using stock since it barely plays anything correctly compared to both MX and Dice player anymore. Or is that 5.1 sound effect really that necessary to you?

And Dice Player handle 1080p mkv very well.
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

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

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).

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 .

Who uses the MX Player on their Note 2? Are there any particular settings which I should use for optimal playback?
Also, is there something better? I started using MX Player because I ran into issues with videos I made that the standard player wouldn't deal with.
I were trying to play an MKV file with MX Player awhile ago and it wouldn't play so i switched to BS Player. It does everything I need it too. MX might be able to play MKV by now but I'm not giving up BS to find out.
I use PowerAmp and have no issues with any file types.

I use MX Player on my Note 2 (and all my devices) for about a year or so and love it. The stock settings work great for me, and it has never failed to play a video that would choke the stock player, but the kids lock plugins seal the deal. Unbeatable if you have a grabby toddler.

I'm in the exact same boat on all accounts.
MX Player is the best really. Even though it plays mostly everything, i'm sort of the type who likes all his files in (one format) mp4 format so i convert everything i have to mp4 (as i get them, using Handbrake mostly). Default settings work just fine.
+1 here. Been using mx for about a year and it's great. Plays my mkv files no problem by the way. I also use the "stock" settings. Never have to adjust them UNLESS I'm on a cm based rom. If so all I've ever had to do was go into decoder settings and click hw+. Nothing else. Once I do that everything is as smooth as a stock rom.
Just my two cents

I always used MX player until i saw Mobo Player mentioned in the CM thread, does everything MX does, handles everything i can throw at it, and it has a floating window option. Best video player for our devices, hands down. Probably the best for many larger screen devices also. VLC has been pretty good too me also,, despite it being so early in dev..
So what's a better format, mkv or mp4? I would like to convert all my movies over, just don't know which format would be best.

It kinda depends on a few things. Mkv's can handle advanced styles of subtitles that mp4 can't. Also, to the best of my knowledge, mp4's can not handle DTS audio and mkv's can. The Note 2 can't natively play dts though but MX player can hardware render the video and software render the audio. Other than that if the videos are encoded properly the note 2 doesn't really care which of the 2 containers you use.
If there aren't any strict requirements i would just go with mp4 since handbrake is easy to use and your videos will be compatible with a larger number of devices if you go mp4.
Any recommendations for which player to use when playing back mkv movies files?
The built in video player doesn't have sound, and the few others I tried had either the same result or gave me an error about wrong version of android.

Try diceplayer or mxplayer on the playstore.
The stock player can't reproduce ac3 sound.
Sorry for my english.....
MX player is free and works as does Archos player, also free. Both can be found on the play store. You may need to also get the Archos free codecs and if you want DTS sound in MX then you need to download the custom codec (there is a link in MX player)...
Yes MX-video player will do the job but
Samsung video player on my note 2 can play mkv file with no issue. So there must be away to make it work.

mkv is just the container, samsung dropped ac3 support. You can strip the audio & remux or do as others suggested and use a software based player.
I used to use MX player but recenty found out clueful privacy advisor indicate it has the potential/risk of leaking the device unique ID. Currently using super video player/Gplayer using software decoder to be able to hear audio during video playback.
Dice Player gets my vote its excellent, but you need "libffmpeg.so" for DTS audio which I added in the thread below.

If I were you I would skip the usual trash on market and go for VLC instead. Its free and opensource with excellent reputation of being the swiss knife of media players. Recently the authors made a sustained effort to bring it from PC to iOS and android.
Beta version is available on the market and fresh apk nightlies can be downloaded from their servers http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/android-armv7/.
Even though still in beta, everything except hit and miss harware acceleration works.
