720p videos not working...

---

Hi! I have problems playing some videos, particularly 720p movies that I downloaded via torrent. The video format is .avi and i'm using a class 10, 8gb micro sd card. It says unable to play video when i try it on my GW. The video plays fine on my pc through VLC media player, but when I try playing the video using DivX player, an error pops out about audio codec... (forgot the exact error type name) So I assume that the problem is the audio format. Is there any app that can solve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Try MX Video Player. An AVI-File is just a container, so it can contain different video and audio-codecs which the Video player (whether PC or Smartphone) has to support.

I will try it as soon as I get home. Thanks! One more question about this app; what are the other codecs for? should I download and install them all for my GW? Sorry but i'm really clueless about video formats and stuff.

May I..??
No need to download any codecs...in my exp,..it's support any vid format.but in particular case,if u want using h/w(hardware) accelerator playing some vid playback and it says doesn't support,just download mx armv7 neon codec...but if u still in stock rom,no need to download that codecs..

Or try Mobo Player. I have positive experience with it.

Use software decoder

Okay, I downloaded mx vid player and the 720p video now plays with a sound but there's a problem; fps was quite low! the video doesn't play as smooth as the other videos that i have.

My phone's rooted but i'm using stock rom (waiting for ICS..hihi). If I download and try those codecs, do u think the fps of the video will improve?

Can you tell me about your experience? Have you tried playing a 720p video with it?

I searched at the market but there's no software decoder app. can you tell me whats this decoder for? thanks


EDIT: sorry if i have to ask for help rather than trying them myself. right now, i'm stuck here in my wifi-less office. -_-

Yes I did. Without problems.

Nahh..no need to download that mx codecs if any 720p vid run...its just wasting ur space...
Buy a fullhd phone if u want a super-smooth fps..!xP..(kidding bro)
Try to switch between h/w decoding or s/w decoding when playback ur vid..tap on screen,u can see on right side there is small decoder option..tap it and choose between s/w or h/w....feel wich one suite u well..there's a small diff in fps on each decoder.
