User Rating3.83/5Basic Android video player. This application plays video files from the SD card.
File should be MPEG4 or 3GPP with H.264 or H.263 and MP3, AAC, or AMR audio. Videos need to be 480×352 or smaller to play back properly.
Video Player is just what the name says… It’s a basic video player for Android videos stored on the SD Card. It lists your videos, simply tapp a video and it plays. You can play, pause, fast-forward, rewind, and scrub video playback. If you rotate your phone, Video Player auto rotates in landscape or portrait video playback mode. Though basic in features we find it more reliable than some video playback apps.
Gripe Alert: Video Player lacks advanced features like Playlists, video searching, lyrics, tagging, auto playing the next video in your list, shuffle and repeat. At least there is an alternative in TuneWiki

[...] Video Player app from Android Tapp does exactly what it says: It plays videos, a function that Google mysteriously chose to leave out of Android. Video Player isn’t fancy; you can play, pause, move backward and forward through the video, and that’s it. [...]

video player cool man!!!!!!!!!
how to download it?
@suesi Search “Video Player” in the Market from your Android Phone.
Act 1 Video Player is far more advanced and useful if you spend a lot of time watching videos (like I do during my commutes). Totally worth the 99 cents for the full version!
how do i make files 3GPP or mpeg4 i need help plz write to me here is my e mail steven.jover@yahoo.com please and thank you
I don’t get it… Android is an OSS project, yet it doesn’t support the most open codec out there: Theora. Nor does it support the most open audio codecs: Vorbis and FLAC.
Also, what’s the deal with only two container formats? Is it really so hard to implement AVI, Matroska and Ogg Media?
Also I wonder, what’s with the lack of support for MPEG4-ASP? (xvid, divx, etc.) MPEG4-AVC is supported, which is part of the MPEG4 spec. So to me, that reeks of a half-baked implementation.
The programmers who wrote Android did a very bad job at audio/video playback, in my opinion.
I am confused. The free downloaded version does not have a user interface. I put two videos on the SD card in my HTC Hero. When I start the video player it just tells me there is no video. Does it look in some specific directory?
Please help if you can!
Is there an app that will play .avi files?
