How the hell do I play videos???

I created video in Handbrake and the damn things won't play! Do I need some other video player? And if so what? Because the one on Sprint phone sure won't play them!

What format did you put it in? Someone on here recommended .MKV but the vid player will not play those, not on my phone at least. I changed them to .mp4 and they play fine tho, 2D and 3D.

I chose ipod legacy as one document stated to use.

I had trouble with hand brake and don't recommend it.

This should help:

What Android player would play 95% of any format?

I am looking for something like K-lite Codec for Android.

Darren, thanks for the suggestion.. grabbing it now

Thanks Nikkobenson on how to convert. Handbrake did not work with subtitles at all.

Ok that video player sucks! Does anyone else have a real video player that works with Side by Side 3D videos? Because vplayer DOES NOT making it suck royally!

Well, our phones are the only phones that even support side by side video so you'll have to use the built in player for 3d... At least for now.
