There are two builds available of VLC for Android, known as NEON and NONEON. The difference is in the processor type. Because VLC for Android makes use of the NDK (Native Development Kit), it is compiling native-level binaries that will only work on the processor class for which they were designed. This means that the same build will not work across all devices.

VLC for Android is still in pre-alpha stages, and I am simply building it from their GIT repository using their wiki instructions. As such, don't expect any degree of support for these APKs from the VideoLAN group or myself, and expect bugs. This is pre-alpha. That means that I built it directly from their source at the time. This build is NOT supported by VideoLAN (and is in fact already out-of-date).

Its an early unstable build so don't expect it to be perfect. It has force closed on me a few times, but at least we have something to test now so we know its being worked on. Ideally I'm hoping the final version of this is a swiss army knife of media formats like it's desktop counterpart. We used to have TCPMP on Windows Mobile that played many formats with a lot less processing power, even years after the project was abandoned its still a great player. It would be nice to have something like TCPMP on Android and hopefully VLC does that.

It Begins. The first good open source video player. Soon others will follow! It is a great day for Android!

I use Mobo player. It uses the same codec as vlc. I plays everything as long as its with-in the devices resolution in my case max of 720p.

EDIT: not sure if it is open source or not
