- I don't think the default player plays .avi files.
I've been looking for an alternate media player that supports more files and plays them better, but haven't found anything worth the money and/or better than the default player.
With all the mobile videos available, i don't understand why more apps aren't available other than maybe the devices aren't powerful enough to handle the videos better. hopefully with the new devices coming out (especially the playbook), the default player will get better or a lot more 3rd party media players will become available...02-18-11 06:28 PMLike 0 - I don't think the default player plays .avi files.

I mean, it doesn't play the divx well (skips a lot), but ****, at least it supports the format..

Here's an analogy, you have a cup (the AVI container), put some rum (the video) in there, then you add some coke (the audio). But in another cup that looks the same you put rye and coke in there. The cups look the same right? But it's whats inside thats different.
So the problem with playing the AVI file isn't the file itself, it's what is inside of it. An AVI container supports many audio (ie. Mp3, AAC, DTS, AC-3 etc) formats as it does video (ie dvix/xvid, WMV, MPEG1/2 etc). Some formats are supported by the BB Media Player while others are not. And some formats it does support in the case of divx/xvid, if the content is in SD resolution it will scale it fine on the device and play properly, but HD resolutions is will start to choke. Also with those same formats it will play fine at 24fps (frames per second) but at 30fps it starts to lag.diegonei likes this.02-19-11 09:41 AMLike 1 - Just to clear up some confusion, yes the BB media player can play "AVI" files.
