Google/HTC Nexus 8, the Google’s next new Android tablet, is coming out this fall, be it July or August. According to the same source which revealed the release date, Google Nexus 8 is coming in a near-9-inch slate. It is reported that Nexus 8 will feature a 64-bit processor and an 8-inch 1920 x 1080 full HD display. But when you wanna transfer some personal video files like Xvid, FLV, MOV, MKV, MPG, DivX, WTV, VOB, AVI etc to Nexus 8 phone, you would find the Android OS phone can’t play these videos well or even can’t recognize them. To play and watch movies on Nexus 8 smoothly, what you need concern first is the Nexus 8 video format.

So, what video files play on Nexus 8? What video codecs does the Nexus 8 support?

From LG official website, I know MP4, H.264, H.263, MP3, WAV, eAAC+ video format and codec can be natively supported by Nexus 8. For other HD files in XviD, DivX, M2TS, MTS, WTV, AVI, MOV, VOB, MKV(DTS encoded), etc codec or formats, Nexus 8 will not open and read.

Some guys suggest installing a media player app for Nexus 8, but it’s a pity like the popular video player MXplayer still can’t handle all of the media files. And the possible solution is to convert MKV/WMV/VOB/AVI/WTV/DivX, etcI to Nexus 8 compatible format first with a third-party software.
