However, full HD video is not officially supported, and we found watching certain 1080p movies to be impossible due to lag, or simply getting a black screen. Video-wise, VLC for Android supports a range of formats and playback of these is generally very smooth. You can scrobble through videos simply by sliding your finger across the screen. The video player window in VLC for Android is well designed, playing video at full screen resolution (or at a ratio of your choosing), with gesture-based controls for changing volume and brightness settings.
It also supports subtitle files and offers hardware acceleration automatically (though this can be disabled). It handles a decent range of file formats (audio, video, and streaming media), and has the same minimalist interface as the desktop version (in black or white).
When it's working, VLC for Android makes for a good alternative to the stock Android media player.
