Or you can just extract the audio from the video file, making it a whole lot smaller.

Pvstar + app store. I use it a lot to listen to things but lock my phone while doing it..
YouTube videos etc

+1 for Pvstar.

Does PV work only with online videos or also video files on my cellphone?
I have downloaded lectures that id like to listen to
The files are on my cellphone, not online!
Thanks

I use OG YouTube (link below) which have great quality, works with screen off and also let me easily download videos for off-line playback.
Make sure you get version 1 so it doesn't replace YouTube and enable screen off in OG settings.
I hope you guys like it!

Edit: this app also allows mp3 extraction so you can greatly save space.

Also I use es file explorer. Any video you can just go to and open and you get the option to open as. I choose audio and it only plays audio. I am sure other file explorers will do same.

I've always wondered does anyone know of an actual Youtube downloader and converter? All of these just save the video as an mp3 file.

Jetvd.apk 1.2.2 has the most save options, you can do 3GP MP4 and FLV video formats and of course MP3

Are you sure it doesn't just save the video as an mp3?

Tubemate!! They give you the option to download in MP3, FLV, SD, & HD if the Youtube video has it. I've had it since forever. Its great. Google search it. I think the link is tubemate.net Its like tubex except that tubex is a rip off copy. I've had tubemate since before tubex came out and yeah, tubex is a copy.

I haven't tried the options out myself but they are there for most videos. It also allows you to play all yotube video in mp4 format or 3GP (high or low quality) even if they aren't suited for mobile phone, I have used this feature before.

I've been using TubeMate as well and have had no issue's downloading YouTube files and with great quality and choices.
I still like keepvid better, it does everything you guys stated, and isn't limited to just YouTube videos as its source.

it's a GetJar link, so hopefully more trustworthy compared to a 4shared link
* Checked with Avast! AntiVirus, the best antivirus for Android, and not found to be dangerous
* Tested by me, and I can verify that the latest version has no problem downloading various YouTube videos at the highest resolution

Been using this tubemate from 4 shared since i had my first android HTC Wildfire S...and no problems so far...plus...the app updates itself as the update arrives...no need to install newer versions again and again...

Any other apps that do this besides these two?
The mp3 output from this app is not recognised by my DLNA Samsung TV as a valid file (tried through Allshare, iMediaShare and Skifta), it has to be re-encoded again to mp3 by MediaConverter to work.

Well...when you download video as mp3....the app says that it will only save that video as mp3 file...not a whole mp3 format...

Usually, I download the highest-quality .mp4 file, then use the freeware "Yamb" to extract the audio file into an .m4a file. Very fast, since no re-encoding is performed.
If there are no high-quality .mp4 file, I'll download the highest-quality .flv and use "FLVextract" to extract the audio portion, which will usually be an .mp3 file. Sometimes, I get an .aac file, which I must "rewrap" into .m4a using Yamb.

I appreciate what you are saying, but it seems kinda pointless to save anything other than the audio as a proper mp3 file when this option is chosen, otherwise I might as well just grab the whole video

I am sorry...but i am just not the creator...and you will have to convert to mp3 from your PC....as far as i think....

Download MX Player from play store and download the codec with it if you need to. I've been using this video player since day 1 and no issues. Plays all types of files as well.
Its part of the ROM and can be used in conjunction with simply holding down power button. This option is in system/power menu... Got to do some better googling or ROM snooping
Vid player question is an easy one and with all the better Google play choices why run stock which would be incorporated into gallery as my guess.

Best movie player for Nexus 7?

What's the best movie player for playing 720p files? I've heard the stock player doesn't play all file formats. What do you use?
MX Player is always a great choice and is always one of the first things I download when I get a new device

I second the use of MX Player - been running it on both my phone and the Nexus 7 and it's great. I like that it was gesture controls as well as on-screen buttons.
The app called 'MX player' is the best player I found. It plays just about any type of video format you there.

I used MX player since I purchased the N7 and i found it almost perfect. For everything else, you can try the nightlies of XMBC. Probably once it will be polished will be a good alternative.

I did not know about this one, thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try!
So far I've been using MXplayer, however, and ideally, I wish I could solely use VLC as I'd prefer to rely on open source software.

Diceplayer works well for me using hardware decoding.
MXplayer stutters for me using hardware decoding. Software decoding works fine on MXplayer, but uses more battery than h/w decoding.
Nothing I have found gas played 1080p video with DTS audio add well add bsplayer. This is very important to me add I rather not have top convert or download different versions for my mobile device

No one here uses "Super Video, Floating and Popup"? This and Mobo player have been ole faithfuls for me. For one Super Video has gestures, (turn volume up and down while watching movie), Also after one video ends, it automatically plays another. (Works very well when watching saved music videos, and don't want to have to click on another video after the last one ended.) It also has minimizes to a small floating video so you can see your home screen in the background while you continue to watch movies/videos.
If MXplayer does this also, i might need to give it a try.
The stock gallery app is easily the best for playing videos it supports.
I don't think other players support the LPcore and stuff, and they use waaay too much processing power. I have tried 3rd party ones but they all use more than one core at nearly full freq most of the time. This is why I'm using stock
Feel free to prove me wrong though

Cant play music or movie's on Note 2

Ive tried several different programs for video encoding my animes (mp4, divx, mpeg) but when I upload them and try to play them I get some kind playing error.
Now for music it doesn't matter what I convert it to it would play. For 2sec then skip to the next track..
I got tired of taking off the case and backing for the micro card so now i'm uploading with kies.
