Currently I have a problem plqying all formats of videos such as flv,mp4,avi etcetc. It says sorry, video cannot be played. Why is that so? Any way to play the video? But sometimes it can play those formats.

Give more details about your firmware..
Also try some other player in the market

I've had a lot of problems after removing the drm samsung apps. When I freeze with titanium its fine but removing them really screws up media playback. Idk if you've done that but thats my 10 cents.

Moboplayer on the market works good u can try to play the video with that

Have you tried restarting your tab ?
I experienced those issues on DXJPE if i let it run for more than 1 day without reboot
this requirement of reboot has driven me nuts and started rooting and flashing endlessly.

yes, i also try the moboplayer, it's pretty good, and you can try rockplayer and vplayer,they are also great. but i find HD mkv files can't play on rockplayer, and play on the vplayer unsmoothly.
and maybe you can try some video converter, then convert your video to the right format.

My Tab plays ripped blu-rays perfectly fine (mp4 format). Look at signature for Tab details. I agree with poster above...restore!

my tab can play bluray rip 720/1080p mkv/mp4/wmv thru stock/mobo player without problem...
mobo is the best replace for the stock player which can streaming mp4 too..

Movies on galaxy tab

I am relatively new to android from a blackberry. I have a verizon galaxy tab and I have downloaded ttorrent in the market and when I download movies (so far I have tried avi and mp4 format) and try to view them they do not play with the media player and I do not get an error message it just goes to a black media player screen and doesnt play. I have tried implayer and arcmedia media players in the market and when I try to play the files it plays but with no sound and says I need to download coral player at real.coralplayer.com which apparently is a media player for a comp. Am I doing something wrong or does anyone have any advice on what media player to use. Or if anyone has any recommenda rt ions on apps that allow you to download movies and watch (preferably free). Thanks

Generally i dont encourage piracy so i will assume that you legally own these movies (read forum rules). Bottomline you cant watch this movie until you convert them into friendly format for the galaxy tab.
Follow this guide: http://www.thetechjournal.com/how-to/convert-and-watch-movies-on-samsung-galaxy-tabhow-to.xhtml
It should play just fine, no need off a other player, the stock one is as good and even better then the one's you find at market.
Just be shore that it not have DTS,DD audio, because Galaxy tab can't handle that audio.

Unless the Verizon one is crippled, those files should play just fine as the tab supports DivX, mp3, h264 and AAC among the other things. Could be an audio issue, but honestly i have trouble imagining an avi with an audio stream that's more than stereo. Then again, i've seen some of the weirdest stuff, like an h264 video inside an avi...

I used this workflow to convert some of the Blu-ray rips we have on our HTPC, as well as converting a few SD movies, worked perfectly for my tab. Movies play in stock apps.

From a quick Google, if you are being asked to download CoralPlayer, then the movies you are downloading are not actually usable, and you are being scammed.
What application allows us to download paid movies similar to iTunes? I have an iPad but prefer to use my Tab for watching flicks instead?
Thanks for the info. After further te st ting the only movies that seem to play for me.so far are mp4 movies. I have been using t torrent to dl movies. Anyone else have any other recommended apps through market.

Try installing mvideoplayer and vitalplayer. Those two should play everything else.

Dude you were so right...this is by far the best player out there right now! Thanks for the tip!
mobo player is very nice...one fantastic feature is that is sizes the video to the full screen. I was watching avatar on my train ride and the stock video player had it centered and not full screen....finished watching it wtih mobo!
thanks for the tip.
check diceplayer on market (GB required )
you can play 1080p MKV+DTS(or Flac/Ogg)

Here are top 5 Android movie APPs for movie lovers. You can use some of these APP to download or watch movies on Galaxy tab conveniently: " Netflix (free, streaming: US only)", "IMDb Movies & TV (free)", "VLC Direct Pro ($2.86)", "Movie Collection (free, ad-less version for $2.99)" and "GetGlue (free)". In addition, you also can rip DVD TO GALAXY TAB, but you need to consider the issue of legality. Good Luck !
Mobo player is great.
It now has support for subtitles within MKV containers without having to extract them. subtitles are great for foreign movies or for the hearing impaired and anime.
It also supports selecting audio track from within the container file. ie, Eng, JP audio track selection. I see a bright future for this app.

Plus the other thing is when i use the native player it seems to run the movie smoothly but sometimes i download different file types of movies that the native player wont support so i have to use an alternative player to play it, so tose times i use the non-native player the video kind of plays choppy on the tv, framming every couple of seconds and freezing :/ and it doesnt mattr what kind of file its just that is not native, any solution for that problem?

For files that the native player can't handle, install and use moboplayer. It works better than the native player in my opinion.

Does this moboplayer can handle the wide variety of formats that the QQplayer does, I ask about this because, the QQplayer seems to deliver bad video quality on some ocasions!

[Q] 720p Mkv laggin

Sorry for starting a new thread, but I searched and couldn't find answers.
I'm trying to play 720p mkv files and they are all stuttering in my CM7 kang and etana kernel. Youtube 720p videos are ok, but the only way I could find to play my files was converting then to 640x480 (someone wrote that in some thread).
Is there any other way to play these files?
Maybe not enough ram. Tuurn off some apps

which player are you using? Try using MX Video Player or Mobo player.
Try bs player lite

I've tried all them, but have no luck. Do you really can always see any kind of 720P?

The built-in player (and all other players usig "hardware acceleration") works for some videos, for some others software-decoders work (mx player has a pretty good one).
BUT, you will not be able to play everything on this phone. "Hardware decoder" only supports up to a certain specification and "software decoding" is limited by the processor (overclocking might help a _little_ here).

Weird, I have same rom and kernel right now, plays ok even in HDMI the only problems this have is with 1080p with high profile, or some main (see bitrate), simple profile plays good.
when i play 720p mkv files i get a little stutter and audio-video sync problems. A 720p mp4 files plays perfectly though.

Hi dear note addictions !
As with this big screen everybody likes to watch movie or video songs ,me too ,but i converted some HD movies (via Freemake Video Converter )from 720p & 1080p sources ,
but still size is big after converting . so pls suggest a good converter or converting method to bring possible low size + good quality of video while converting from 720p & 1080p sources.Hope this will help for others too
It always asks me to convert itself when i copy it to my phone....

bro if you mentioned the setting means it will be more help full
Handbrake.
Everything seems to play fine on my note, I use MX Player Pro and Dice Player.
DVD Catalyst 4 , has hundreds of profiles and converts dvd`s and video files and it is fast, as it has a feature that does 2 pass encoding in 1
It`s not free though, but it`s only $9.95

It is full screen. You can view normal or zoomed. As its 16x10 screen you'll never get any true full screen.

It will always ask you to convert when you are using Kies mtp mode.
But you won't be able to copy mkv files.
If you are using usb storage mode you can copy mkv files but it won't ask you To automatically covert.
I tried MX player, vplayer, dice player.
For m2ts 1080p videos MX player can't play the videos well, for vplayer you need to configure it in order to play the test videos well, for dice player it is the only one that can play with default setting.
As for mkv, MP4, all players play them well.

Problems playing avi

Hi
I have a galaxy S i9000 with cyanogenmod 9 on it.
I'm having problems running avi files, when I try to play some film or anything avi it plays the sound but no image!!! Sometimes the video nor even open.
i've tried with a lot of players like Mxplayer but still doesnt work..
PLEASE!! I NEED HELP!!
Try dice or bs player.
Best Player -> RockPlayer
If you are trying to play videos from gallery, there might be problem like this... just play it straight from mx player app, it should work fine
I've had this problem on all ics roms too. I have not found a solution. Tried all the players in the store.
