Stock Video App...is there a better alternative?

Long time reader, first time poster!!!

Just wondering, is there a better alternative to the stock Samsung Video?

The Video app plays just about every video format I throw at it? Is there a better alternative or is the Video app the pinnacle of the S2 multimedia experience?

Any advice or recommendations welcome.

try MX Player

MX Player is best around.

I like MX Player, has lots of codecs, it's quite customizable and it's designed to work with dual-cores.

Superb...thanks to all.

as previous MX player is damn good and the codec pack works really well. The adblocker will pretty much block all the adds same as the pro

Also an MX fan, but have installed Diceplayer too.

On a custom MIUI ROM I'm testing, MX couldn't hw decode a couple of mkv 720 files I had, but Diceplayer can. Some files are tricky that way - will play flawlessly on one player but not another.. Do all my decoding with MeGUI, but haven't found One Profile To Rule Them All.

The first four things I did on my SGS1 and both my SGS2s were throw the stock phones in the trash, root, uninstall the stock video player and ditto the stock video player

A couple of other good ones that that play most videos are RockPlayer and VPlayer. Give them all a try and see which you like. (never hurts to have 2 or 3 installed in case you get a vid that doesn't play on one).
