How to Play AVI on Samsung Galaxy Note 3/2

To be honest, the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, as well as its predecessor the Note 2, is a great Android gadget for video playback. With an extremely sharp 5.7" Full HD Super AMOLED 1920 x 1080 resolution display shipped and 4K video playback enabled, it seems that Note 3 could be the best choice for you to enjoy movies on a smartphone.

However, just like any other Androids, Galaxy Note 3 (and Note 2) only supports limited video formats like MP4, WMV, MKV and formats which are encoded by MPEG4/H.264 video codec and AAC/MP3 audio codec, etc (check Android supported formats here). Thus, chances are that when you'd like to play some videos, say AVI, on Note 3/2, it just tells you "invalid format". In this case, what can you do? How can you play unaccepted videos like AVI on Galaxy Note 3/2?

Optionally, you can press the "Settings" button next to the "Profile" menu bar to set/change the detailed output video/audio parameters including encoder, bitrate, resolution, etc accordingly.
