MKV are slow and laggy - HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity

I was extremely surprised that MKV do not work on the HTC Raider. My old SGS could do it I wonder why HTC did not make codecs for it.
I tried MX player and it loads both subtitles and video but is so laggy and slow since it software decode.
I tried to get the arm7 codecs but they did not work. Anyone know more on how to get MKV on the Raider?

Dice Player.

thank i will try it.

Convert them with handbrake to mp4, pay for the pro version of mx player and use it to play the files.

Too much unnecessary converting, mkvs can play, and you just need to search for the one you like best from the market.

I bought streamers specifically with MKV support so i don't have to convert otherwise I would have just used Handbreak and used my Xbox/PS3. When i had the the SGS i never had issues since it natively supports MKV, to bad HTC does not include this. I never want to convert formats ever again.
Funny thing is the few anime episodes i tried where high bit encodings, tried some regular 720P and it played it just fine.

Mxvideo player works with subs when i watch bleach anime (720p mkv format)

Yeah MX is very good, I have some anime that is very laggy. I guess it varies from encoder to encoder.
Dice player is not polished and i hate the ads, plus it still lagged when playing that MKV.
After trying about 10 players with the same laggy MKV. The 2 best players I find are:
MX Video Player by MX TECHNOLOGIES
MoboPlayer by Mobo Team
The troublesome MKV lagged badly with MX but played perfectly with Mobo.

Bsplayer is the best I've found so far.plays 720 visa no prob

I am trying to use BSPlayer (latest) on a HTC Vivid with 720p MKV streaming from my NAS, it's not even watchable. Yet on my SGS3 plays no problem. Same player, same MKV file, same NAS.

[Q] Best video player for OB?

I was trying to play MKV files on my OB but it seems that the original Video Player doesn't support it. So I downloaded the MoboPlayer on the Market to play it(since it can play almost all codecs), but it lags for a while, or the audio doesn't sync with the video for a delay of 3 seconds. The quality is definitely good but is there a better Video Player out there? What are you guys using to play videos of other codecs??
try MX Player

Been using Rockplayer for a while its pretty solid.
but none can play 720p X264 smooth. i've got the best results with mx player but still not very good. i don't think the hardware is good enough.
try diceplayer.
My Optimus Black(Korean version KU-9500) can play some of 720p H.264 MKV files.
I watched some 720p H.264 MKV files using QQPlayer, everything worked fine, no desync, subtitles were on spot.
H.264 suport only to 480p....720p is lagy..not enough GPU power.

This player is sucks...i repeat the optimal player for OB is "daroon playe"
I use Moboplayer. How is Daroon better?
Nuno
i prefer moboplayer
Tested QQplayer, Daroon Player and MoboPlayer to play a 720p MKV file. Moboplayer produced the best results in terms of Audio and Video Sync.
MoboPlayer is the best for my OB!
I just bought VPlayer through Market...seems to be the ranked 1st video player on the market...should be pretty good!

it does play everything, but software decoding lags, doesnt it?
Im currently using mvideoplayer and run really smoothly.
480p(640x480) works perfectly.
No playback lags.
And your video format should be .mp4 H.264 for best playback!

what is the best video player out there for my 8.9?

that play the most codecs and able to play most of the formats from the web? name your app. some of the porn videos i downloaded to my 8.9 from my pc can't play...lol.
I find bsplayer has best hardware decoder support. I prefer the ui of mxplayer
I bought and use MX Player Pro. I like the swipe controls to adjust volume and position.

I can second this. BS player can hw decide files that mx player only sw decodes. But the interface for mx is much better, so I end up using mx must of the time.

mxplayer has been updated couple days ago, and now has a better HW+ decoder. It does hw decoding on files it didn't do before...

720p video playback very choppy?

I downloaded a 720p tennis highlights video earlier today onto my phone so I could watch it later. However, it is lags unbearably on my phone; I use MX player to watch it. In fact, for some reason I can't use any other players to watch it.
I'm on CM10 nightly official, and the kernel is default CM.
Anyone else perhaps have information on this? Thanks.
use mediainfo first to show the profile, usually use profile High L4.1. HH can't handle high profile, you should rip again and change to Low Profile.
Code:
http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en
im using cm10 nightly only.......using mx player latest.....i can play 720p videos without ny glitch easily using s/w decoder without converting.....for 1080p playback i use h/w decoder it also plays pretty smoothly....i watch a lot of movies in my phone only LOL
It might have something to do with the fact that the video I downloaded was in 4 separate .rar files which I had to extract.

and what's the audio codec? dts or mp3 or what? i use mx player and cannot get the sound because it's dts. using CM7 and symbiosis kernel
Think about bit rate.
It may be to high. But I think it isn't so maybe container has Codec which isn't he supported.

yeah, I also think it maybe container has codec which isn't supported, the MKV, I would suggest you to convert the MKV videos to 720p MP4 videos.
Just get a video converter like formatfactory or Aneesoft online.

Mkv and mp4 are containers lol.
By conversing, chose mpeg2 or MPEG4. Also h264 is supported but it have very strong compression so it may be unplayable.

Poor Video Codec Support?

For some reason, the HTC One seems to have poor video codec support. My Galaxy Nexus seems to be able to play 1080p mkv smoothly while on the HTC One it doesn't seem to play at all. MX Player and mono player play them but not smoothly. Anyone got recommendations?
List of Players:
Dice Player - Crashes
MX Player - Laggy
Mobo Player - Laggy
V Player - Laggy
BS Player - Smooth
Have you tried BS player?

Nice find, never heard of that one but its playing things smoothly. Any others you recommend? (not to be picky but don't really like the interface )
You could try XBMC or VLC. Both players are in beta and I have not tried them recently. XBMC was working pretty well when I last tried it on my tablet. They had just gotten the hardware acceleration working properly.
MX Player, the best one hands down

VLC seems to be improving, with HD decoding turned on the largest nightly seems to work pretty well. Thanks again
