While the default video player for Android phones can play some video formats, it won't be sufficient if you intend to play a lot of videos on your phone. You will need a better multi format video player for android, and only a third party app like VPlayer can handle that.

This app can play a huge number of video formats. That includes Divx/Xvid, flv, rmvb, avi, mkv, mp4 and many more. Although it is in alpha at the moment, it seems to work well and is available for free at the Android marketplace.
