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.

Best video player for high definition videos

Hello friends..
I want to know which is the best video player which can play mkv m4v and mp4? I tried player pro, mobo, double twist, and default.. Not evn one player can play those files.. I have 10 tb of hd movies.. Thought to watch them on arc s while sleeping :-D

I use Mobo Player. If a file doesn't play, you can force Software Rendering. That way, it played almost every file I threw at it.

Right now I believe the best player is MX Player's latest edition.

Dice Player is also good, but MX player rocks. It's the only one for me that can play 720p .mkv video files (series mostly).

yup...MX player did the trick..i watched two 1080p movies without any lag..well lil lag in b/w but nothing major Thanks guys for your response

BSPlayer?
Might wanna give BSPlayer a try - very similar to dice and mx but what I like about is that it automatically tries to fetch appropriate subs and that it actually works surprisingly well
Either way u can't really go wrong with these three.

Jelly bean STOCK video player

Is there any STOCK video player on Gnex 4.1?
Or if there is no stock video player, which one is the best one. I need it only for watching video clips and stuff downloaded fr web, but no movies...
Thanks folx

I thought stock video play was part of stock galaxy apk. I use vplayer on my own devices.

What stock galaxy app? Which one?

Pretty sure he meant gallery. I find going through the native player via gallery I can't play any movies I load on my device.
I personally use mx player, love the swipe controls.

There is a built in video player although the codecs it supports isn't the best. If you need support for many codecs I would suggest either MX player, rock player or dice player.

vlc or mxplayer. i use vlc altough is in beta it works great!

Yeah the gallery "stock" player is very basic, i think it's more designed for playing the videos, you record with your phone cam, nut much more. Alternatives are as mentioned vlc or rock player.
Btw does anyone know a player with support for more than one audio track?

MX Player, not only that, it also let you choose between hardware or software decoding, which is needed for AC3.

I can't decide between BS Player and MX Player so I use both. Paid versions. Good luck finding best one for you.

i used mxplayer but switched to diceplayer as it lets you play in pop-out video while checking e-mail etc

BSplayer can play video in "external mode", so everywhere, while you are surfing, reading email etc... and you can resize, pause or clse the video.
MXplayer doesnt provide this feature.

does bs player supports all video formats???

MX is renowned as the best video player in Android

I found Dice WITH the use of an externel ffmpeg lib (nathan118 to be more specific) to be the best one for me (read here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769799)

in fact like others i use both
i have got no problem with video format in BSplayer.

I use diceplayer because with the plug in I can play files with DTS sound

I recommend super video the video floats over your current task its also resizable n the best thing about it is its free!!!

BSPlayer, by far.
Mkv at 1080p with audio DTS, flawlessly.

I bought bs player pro, but had problems with it in 4.2, dice player is what I'm using now for smb streaming

DicePlayer is my favourite. Smooth and you can activate Plugins if you need to.

I use vplayer

I use mxplayer and have no complaints. Love it.

I use BS Player because it read everything well and has a LAN Mode. But the UI is horrible.

My combo: BSplayer (soft decode) for WMV + DICE Player for everything else

Arc S can play HD video ?

Hi all bro, all advanced user and developers. I have tried MX player and Vplayer to play HD video, but it's so slow, lag....
I wonder if Arc S can play HD video, or need app to play it?
.I'm on Viper 5 , Veageance 1.36
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium

it can play 720p videos MAX.
You better use MX player with hardware+.
The problem is that some video files cant be hardware accelarated.
Just convert it again with a free software (freemake video conv for example). It has a special mode for android.

Thank, bro
