    What's the best Android Tablet that can play rmvb files (without having to convert)?

    I was thinking about getting either a Samsung Galaxy or Google Nexus...any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    I got a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, but it can't play rmvb files right off the tablet. You're going to have to download an app that play multiple media files. Currently I'm using the app Mobo Player I downloaded for free on Google Play Store (an app that came with Samsung Galaxy, and probably for every other android device out there). You can get the pro(cost money) version from the app store, or you can get it online for free, but the free version works just fine.

    Ive played .rmvb using MX Player. So pretty much any tablet that has Android OS can be considered.

    Do you need to convert the rmvb file to play or can you just drop the file into the tablet and it will automatically play in the media player app?

    Depending on what app you use, you might have to manually tell the app what folder to open to find the videos.

    You have two options:

    1. find some player which supports playing RMVB files and is compatible with Android.
    2. convert RMVB files to Android supported formats like MP4.

    MX Player or BS Player works fine. MX is a hit or miss, i've had some work and some not work.

    MX Player has worked pefectly for me. I think the pro version of MX Player was floating around at one point. ;)
