Hi
I have the same problem and just wondered if you ever found a work around. I can't believe the phone of the year 2011 has no way to change the recording format to mp4. My wife's Sony experia can send videos through dlna to my Bravia no prob
.3gp is an agglomerate of the video format and audio format, which is .mp4 and .aac. It's normal that some programs will say .mp4 and others .3gp, because some say the format in which the whole file is made on, which is .3gp, and others will only say the video format, which is .mp4.

Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 5.1.22.0305
this program rocks.. i did it..
if anybody needs a convertor to work with HTC...
use teh blackberry mp4 preset. ;o)
Can also use SUPER... Freeware conversion software. Nothing flash, but works OK... Converts a pile of formats though from avi to matroska, MP3 to ogg...
The thing with MP4 is it's like AVI - you can have one of many formats inside the MP4 wrapper.
It might be that the MP4 file has an H.264 video stream and an AAC audio stream - try playing it with CorePlayer Mobile or the Omnia MP4 player. I'd suggest you try playing it on your computer first (with something like VLC or Media Player Classic) - that way you can see what codecs it's actually using, and if needed transcode the file to a format which your mobile phone can play.
Thats why I like SUPER. It has specific settings for a multitude of devices, PPC's are on the list. Its up to you to choose the size of the screen, the frame rate and audio codec used but I find it works well and fast.
Cheers...
Is there a way to record video in a codec other than 3gp? Or is there an app that anyone knows of that will allow you to record video in different formats like .avi .mp4
I was pleased to find that the camera for the froyo 2.2 build that eugene made shoots in the same HD aspect ratio as the 2.1 build but formats to MP4
also there are many encoding programs that work well. I am presently using Oxelon Media Converter to convert to AVI for editing in Premier and posting video on youtube in 720HD
Yeah I can convert them but I'd like to avoid having to add the extra step. I might have to check out that Rom if I no one else has any other solutions.
video files like .avi mp4 flv cant be played sometimes. so i want to convert video files. but which resolution and which format it can be?
Download a RockPlayer
And still use Format Factory and select the format MP4. Settings are set up as in the screenshot.

or you can just use Handbrake (google it) and use the settings for the iPod Touch.
MediaGo
you can also use MediaGo, launched from PC Companion, to import video clips from pc to your phone. However, I found that it will create a different folder for music/video you import, instead of the normal folder you are already using.
i have found that it can play 640x480 resol. mp4 videos smoothly..by default...use hand brake to convert it or u cn use winavi ipod mp4 converter.....suite urself..nd for avi files rockplayer cn play all resolutions of avi smoothly....unless u r using a custom rom...in which it might crash sometimes....and as far as flv files are concerned they r restricted to a resolution of 320x240 only, beyond it the player would lag......
or use MoboPlayer (free in market).
operate various types, including flv, avi and mkv with subtitles.
Hi,
I wanted to play a video recorded by SGS2 in .mp4 format, but it looks like nothing out there can support it. It plays without any problems on the phone, but VLC, WMP and even WinAmp can't recognize the codec used. My question is - what is the video codec and is there anything that can play/convert it?
The *.MP4 file is a wrapper that binds both the video and audio + subtitles file.
Depending on the resolution, it can also be a *.3GP file.
*.MP4 usually uses H.264 video compression and AAC for audio format.
*.3GP stores video streams of H.263 or AVC/H.264 format, and AMR audio format.
In Windows 7, H.264 is supported without requiring to install any codecs.
3GP however is not supported in Windows 7.
If you are using Windows XP, you not only need the H.264 codec, you also need a MP4 splitter. As for 3GP, you need a codec for that as well.
Haali Media Splitter is useful for both MP4 and MKV files as a splitter.
FFDShow is a great all in one codec package for H.264, x.264, H.263.

Video codec: H264 MPEG4 (AVC)
Audio codec: MPEG AAC (mp4a)
I have no problem to play my mp4 files recorded by using my SGS2 with VLC.
Maybe you should check for an update of your VLC media player.

I would like to know what others are doing as far as encoding video to play on the Nook Tablet. The consensus seems to be the H264 encoding for video? What file format, m4v, mkv?? Does it make a difference? What about audio?
I have heard discussion about HW versus SW playback, what does this mean?
What resolution do you keep your videos in? How large should I expect the average full length movie to be?
usually 720 since they're smaller
2.5gb and mp4 or mkv
using mxvideo
sw btw for mkv and hw for mx vid
hd movies will be about 2-2.5gig
normal dvd's will be ~700meg-2gig(avatar) for h.264 format mp4/mkv

huh? Sorry, still don't get it.
Most videos play fine without converting for me. I just drop it in the tablet and use MX Player.
Also, .mkv is not a video format but a container.
