as far as I know android phones can play:

MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, M4A, MID, OGG, WMA, WAV, AVI, MP4, 3GP, WMV, (DivX, XviD)

Chacha can play: MP3, AAC, AAC+, AMR, M4A, MID, OGG, WMA, WAV, MP4, 3GP, WMV

But you could convert the files with "Nero" or some other Software for you PC to a file your ChaCha actually can play :)

@ryan I've used snowfox before and its a good app but you need to know a little bit about film conversion to get it to work right and film conversaion is an art for itself.

Another option would be to use the VLC beta player as it can run almost any video format on any Android Phone. Its still a rough beta but its a good piece of software and it should do the trip until the full release comes out.

MX Player is free. It will play .mp4 and .mpeg files. I have played many others successfully. I don't know for sure if it'll play .mpeg 2 files, but download and give it a try anyway. Completely free and plays stuff the stock player can't. Definitely worthwhile having it on your device if you have the memory spare for it. B-)

Not sure about mpeg2, but .m2ts cannot play (on this or any other mobile that I'm aware of).

Yes, You need to download a player having mpeg codec in it. I would suggest MX Player, been using it since ages.

Mark as helpful if this helps.

As I know that TS is an old digital format that is not very compatible with the current devices. If you want to play it on your Android phone, you better use some online or offline Joyoshare Video Converter to convert TS to MP4.
