[Q] Nexus S Avi Playback

---

My nexus s isn't playing back AVI videos regardless of what application I use. Is this abnormal or do I just need to get an avi codec somewhere ?

you need rockplayer

Rockplayer
Mvideoplayer
arcMedia

None have worked. Rockplayer began to play a file and then stopped.

Avi is just a container, you need codec support for the video file inside. Try Rockplayer.

Thanks for the suggestion but I'm not having an luck with Rockplayer either. As stated above when I use rockplayer to open the avi files, it plays a second or two of audio and then quits back to the file select menu. Are you sucessfully using rockplayer to play back avis ?

Yes, you can play avi's depending on what codec was used on the video file inside the avi, an avi file can have any type of video file inside of it; h264, mpg4, divx, etc...

rockplayer probably needs to be updated to work with 2.3 like allot of other software
need to port codecs from galaxy S then we could play anything...with hardware rendering
