HTC Desire HD video player is bad

[gammay]

My experience with the default video player on HTC desire HD is bad, when using in streaming mode (play from Internet). I am not an avoid video watcher - mainly videos posted by friends on FB.

* When I move to an earlier timeline, the video starts loading again and does not seem to cache the already downloaded video content
* Ditto after the video is completely played and want play it again - it downloads the whole video again wasting the bandwidth

Is this the expected behaviour? Why can't the player cache the contents in memory?

In addition, I would like to have a feature to download the videos to view later. Is there anyway I can do that?

I read about rockplayer, moboplayer and vplayer. Do these players take care of the above problems?

I believe there is a download and watch later option. However, I'm not sure whether that came with the GB Update or because I've recently installed Real Player to stream videos. I went to watch a few trailers on IMDB after I'd updated, (but it was also the first time I'd used Real player) and I was presented with a dialogue asking me to Save or Watch Online.

@El Presidente: Thanks for the response. I downloaded RealPlayer Beta from the market and now I get 'download' and 'play and download' options. But the video is not getting download. The download manager always shows stopped status even I try to resume download manually. Is it that it works only over Wifi or something?

No, I am not using GB update - not yet released in India.
