This phone has an 840x480 screen, and a powerful processor - it seems to me like i should have no problem (unlike earlier cell phones) watching full size videos in whatever format they came in.

I've tried two media programs from the app market, and they both seem very limited wrt codecs and such.

Rather than try a whole bunch of media programs....

What do you use?

Which android movie watching programs work the best?

Which have the most diverse collections of codecs pre-installed (or easily added)?

I should have specified - I have a library of video files which I'd like to watch when I'm not connected to the network.

Is there some easy way that flash would make that possible? afaik, flash doesn't help me in this situation.

To watch movies on my sansa fuze, i converted a bunch of them specifically to work on the fuze....i know i could do this for the android phone, but i see no need to do this kind of thing given the power of the android platform and this device's hardware.

All,


Thank you so much! That is *exactly* what I'm looking for. That is by far the best video player I've tried on android, so far. I haven't converted a single file, yet, and its playing all the same video files I watch on my computer.

Okay, so I'm happy with my video player.




Now, I'm looking for a new camera program.


I want a free program that lets me take a series of still images, and lets me define the interval between the photos.


I've found about a dozen programs that either let me set an arbitrary delay for a single photo, or a pre-programmed delay for a series of photos.


The description of several programs are misleadingly ambiguous, so I'm hoping to hear from someone who actually uses a free android program that lets me set my own arbitrary interval for an ongoing series of photos. What is it called?
