Best media player for Android?

Sakura90:
I have a trip tomorrow... well, in a few hours. I should had made this before <_<

I got a Galaxy Note the other day (it was really cheap for this crappy country, I couldn't refuse... and I love the S-Pen for drawing kanji :D). I was thinking it would be pretty cool to watch stuff in the 1280x800 screen. So, considering that here we have many ppl that love encoding, h264 and spend endless posts discussing things of the encodes :P... I think it was the best place to ask.

What's the best video player for Android? The stock player reads MKV and subtitles and it isn't bad from what I read (I still haven't transferred anime to the device, I just finished flashing firmware, rooting, installing apps and customizing). But I bet there's a better one out there.

It has to read MKV with h264, ac3 and the rest of the popular codecs and ass subs (I don't care much for styling, even if they display as plain text is fine). That and the battery. If any app makes a difference in battery efficiency, the only thing I'm not too happy about my Note, it'd be great.

I leave in some hours... if no one replies I'll get the first 2 or 3 apps the market shows and have fun trying. Ofc, leave the players you use, if I manage to get wifi where I go I'll get them :)

Thanks

Saras:
MXPlayer? That seems to the default go to third party player for Android.

FlyinPenguin:
I have been having really good luck with BSPlayer lately. It seems to handle 10bit the best for me.

halfelite:
mx or bs both work great for me. Have not had much issue with either.

Probably MX player for on the go. I use DICE since i'm streaming my anime off my home network. You can probably do the same with an EStrong+MX combo but some of my animes stutter if i do that.
