    Oplayer HD is OK, but for MKV videos, I have to get MKV converter by ifunia from the Mac App Store to do a complement, and thanks to its help, so far very smoothly.

    yes, what with all the customizable shortcuts, info & flexibility on playback & played videos - AVPlayer HD trounces Apple's iPad video player any day

    nice thread, looks like im buying the AVplayer :) does it play mkv files and .avi files smoothly
    and no lags for sounds and everything? Im tired of converting files to .mov or mp4.
    720p or 1080p no problems for it?:)

    It does play avi and mp4 files, tried a 1080p anime mkv once and it was unwatchable, but 720p mkvs works smoothly.

    720p videos lag on FlexPlayer so I think AVPlayer HD is the right app for me. ;) Thanks for the inputs, I learned a lot about the other potential apps out there that has the same features.

    I have tried a little app called "EC Player".
    It shows much better performance than AVPlayerHD.

    checkout their video performance comparison here
    Glad that I can use it as my default MKV player on iPad!

    I have AVPlayerHD, OPlayer and ECPlayer on my iPad2. ECPlayer is the best player on mkv among all.
