I buy Downloadable videos from Amazon pretty often and they are in wmv format. I already know It doesn't work with the video player, so I tried others like Rock player. But when I tried playing it, it shows me a mess of colors and no sound. Also I tried to Play another wmv file and got the video to play but got no sound. Does anyone know of a better video player replacement other than rock player that will play files like these with success? Or maybe even a way to get Amazon videos to play On android?

I've been searching for a great video player for the TMO TP2 but some don't do it for me. Is there a way to set the installed video player that plays the Youtube to play all video including streaming. It might not have all codes to handle every media type but maybe there is a hack or cab to solve this waste of a great player.
Yea i love that player too. the only way i can watch the movies on my media card with that player is by going into the media album and when i open a video from there it uses the youtube player. would love to watch streaming videos with it as well.
How do I get to the other video player? Everytime I open a video file it opens with wmp. Ive been searching for a free good video player to play all my files.
I swore that Windows used to play the audio from the videos I recorded with my N1, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I went to a concert last night, recorded 7 or 8 videos, and when I tried to play them today, they wouldn't play with sound. Video plays fine, but no sound. I tried WM11, FLV player and VLC, nothing would work. Anyone know how to get around this?

u have to convert them from 3gp format, use vlc 3gp converter it works very well... or just download the desire cam app it will encode in mpeg4 or h.234 if u like u can choose... (link in sig)
Thanks for the help!
The sound is in amr codec. And VLC should read AMR. I have no problem to read it with VLC.
My friend showed me a website where he watches a bunch of films for free on his iphone 4.. (iphonemoviez.net)
So I wanted to see if I can stream it too from my vibrant... The funny thing is when I want to stream a mp4 movie the stock video player doesnt open the movie... but on my friends iphone it launches quicktime and plays it.
Here is my question I know that vibrant is obviously able to play mp4 format so what 3rd party app I can use to stream those movies????
Thanks!
Try Rock Player though...
One of the main reason's I bought my TF was to watch movies on airplanes. I put a handful of movies on my SD card, popped it in, and some of them don't play at all and some only play sound but no video.
Is there some kind of file type I need to use to watch movies? Is there a suggested movie player? I'm using Act 1.
I used Vplayer unlock version to play mp4 movies for my recent trip to Korea w/o any problem.Maybe you can try the Vplayer free version from the Market.
I use handbrake as per the thread below to encode and the movies play great.

I use the default video player.
Vplayer seems to be playing all my movies. Thanks for the suggestion!
I've got rockplayer on mine it's running anything and everything I throw at it as well.
MoboPlayer is another alternative
VPlayer, Mobo Player, Rock Player are all essentially the same thing.
They use a software foundation called ffmpeg to decode more video formats than the built in video player can handle. While they will all play most anything, they use your CPU to do the work rather than the much more efficient GPU.
Basically, if it plays in the stock video player, use that, otherwise use whichever V/Mobo/Rock player you want.

Just wondering about video format compatability, I have a galaxy s3 and I can dump darn near any video on it and it plays it like a champ with the stock video player. The N7 on the other hand is really picky about videos, and most of the time I have to use vplayer to play anything and it plays like crap. Can anyone weigh in on this?
Use MX player seems to be fine for me
MX or Dice, and throw anything you got at it.
I know you can get video apps that will play different file formats, I guess my main question is why do different devices have different video capability when running almost the same OS?
