Video Formats Supported by Android

[Stabs]

Is there a list of video formats I can play on my EVO? Does it support Xvid/Divx?

Bummer... Does anyone know of a good divx / xvid codec / player for Android?

Don't think there is anyway to add more codec support. Might I recommend Handbrake to convert those videos?

Convert them to WHAT?

Hate to be a nag, but no one in this thread has addressed the specific question that lots of us noobs are asking. The question is, what video formats are supported by Android? I have used Handbrake to convert video files (AVI, DIVX, QuickTime, DVDs) into iPod format that play perfectly on my iPod Touch, but these formats do not seem to play correctly on my new Droid 2. The only video files I can play are Windows Media (WMV), which really surprised me. Handbrake will convert just about anything to MP4 and MKV, but will NOT convert to WMV.

So, I will ask the question once again. What video formats are supported by Android?

VPlayer Alpha in the market (free) is a godsend. It plays all types of files including xVid and AVI.

I've also heard that rockplayer is pretty good.

RockPlayer will handle avi without problems from what I have found.

Another vote for RockPlayer, been using it for a bit, no complaints.

Is there a reason this thread was resurrected from 5 months ago?
