this was a bit confusing in that I couldn't find a "video" player per say originally, but found out after the fact that you can just go into Gallery and it will display any video's in the video directory. The only issue is that you can't see the names to the video's, just thumbnails of them, unless you select and hold, then click on more info...a bit convoluted. To get around this, you'd have to install a file manager, go to the video's directory (or wherever you saved your video files) and you can start them from there. If you have more than one video player, it will prompt you which one you want to use and you can also set a default player this way..
I've also tried mVideoPlayer which works rather well. I like the bookmarking in it, which will come in handy for the little one.
So far I've been able to get it to work with AVI, WMV, and MPEG files, but you have to be careful how they are encoded as it will not play parts if there is no compatible codec (ie - sound with no video, or video with no sound, or no reaction at all).
