but non of them work correctly, so no need to install one. Tried to play video with 800kbps bitrate and lagged alot. So no use for them.

Smart Movie 4.15 works pretty well - I've watched loads of avi files downloaded from the web...

man 400kbps video is squirrelpiss.. A true video is 1000kbps or +, and that you cant watch with this app. It opens them but not fluid framrate and sound is played in lower quality. Its like 15-18fps, not the normal 23FPS or+. Not really enjoyable view

If you need fluid playback, then you need to use a player that uses the hardware decoding, and I don;t know of any, except the built-in one. Yamb can be used to re-pack avi files very quickly, but that usually doesn't play very well either, so I usually use something like VirtualDub to resize and reencode the movie to about 1000kbps video, 128kbps sound in xvid, then use Yamb to repack it to mp4. Then the files play perfectly.

@babu_20

The link is www.google.com

or you can try VirtualDub
and YAMB

P.S.: For VirtualDub, you will also need decode/encode codecs. I use FFDShow video, but audio is a bit trickier, LameMP3 can help, but you need a VFW (video for Windows) compatible one, there is a little special way to install that, I don't have it handy at the moment, but some clever googling you can find it.

haven't had any problems myself. All except one of my movie files repacked with yamb works fine. Those are just avi's downloaded via torrents. It's not yamb that's the issue - it doesn't change the video stream, just repacks it. It's the original source that needs to be suitable for Satio. 720P won't work, needs to be at the most SD quality. Have played 2Mbps streams on Satio no worries at all.

So if recoding with virtualdub, try higher bitrate, it should work fine.
