What are the file formats of the video files that you're trying to play?
mp4 video files.
the player couldnt read the file

MPEG-4 has many different profiles and levels, some of which may not be compatible with various players.
Here's a guide to start you off on encoding video files that the X10 can handle:
http://www.knowyourcell.com/sony-er...fer_them_to_the_sony_ericsson_xperia_x10.html
Most of that guide is correct.
I use the Handbrake application ( http://handbrake.fr/ ) mentioned in that guide almost exclusively for videos that I want to play on my X10. It's great and it's free.
See if that helps.

Hi all.
I was wondering if you guys know if it's possible to change any settings in the video recording app in x10 mini (android 2.1) ? The ideal for me would be able to record in anything other than 3gp. I have also searched the market for an app which converts 3gp to another format (on the phone I mean) but didn't find anything.
The reason I want to do this is because I have found a pretty great free app, which I recommend to everyone, which is called TwonkyServer Mobile : it transforms your phone into a DLNA server, so you can directly view photos, music and videos that are on your phone to your TV through any other DLNA device such as XBOX, PS3, Bravia TV, media centers, etc...
It amazes all the people to who I demoed this : you take a pic from your phone, launch twonkyserver, and BOOM it's on your TV
It would be so great of I could do the same with videos, but 3gp formats are not recognised by most media centers...
try lgcamera from the market it can record in mp4 and avc..
thanks dude !! will try it tonight and let you know how it went ;-)
Dude ! The LG app is unusable, it crashes all the time, I cant use this.

X10 with Twonky Media Server
Hi,
I am able to stream Music -mp3 and Pictures - Jpeg in my Bravia(40Ex710), but no videos yet
Could you help me in this
Media Server :Twonky -Xperia X10
Thanks in Advance
I still have the same problem. The issue comes from the fact that the phone only records videos in 3gp format, and the TV does not have the 3gp codec to read it. There are only 3 solutions :
- wait for bravia update to have a 3gp codec (and this might take forever).
- find another video recording app working on the x10 mini which can record in another format such as MP4 (but I haven't found it).
- find another app which can convert 3gp to mp4 on the phone (can't find it either).
If any of you guys have a clue for this, I would be very thankfull.
I have an off-name tablet from eBay running Gingerbread and having problems getting video files to play on it. No matter what i use/encode, i get an error saying "Sorry, this video cannot be played."
What is the recommended file type/encoding settings i should be converting to for Android devices?
is it a cheap $100-150 tablet? Those have a lot of problems. The video may be to high quality. I recommend 480p vids. Either that or reset the tablet. Or it may be to cheap to play anything. Sorry, try the low quality video, does YouTube work?
Thank me if I helped!
try using a different video player like VLC.

Hello all!
I'm facing a really weird issue here. I spent the last hour googling for it but no one really had a solution for it... here's the problem:
I record a video with my phone (running stock rom by the way). I can watch the video on the phone, it plays smoothly and everything.
So now I want to watch the video on the computer but it just doesn't work. Whenever I open the videos (WMP, VLC, etc) the video just freezes and I only hear the sound. It doesn't matter if I open up the video from the SD card, Internal Memory or if I copy it locally to my computer harddisc.
I tried playing around with the resolution settings on the phone (1920x1080, etc) but even on the lowest setting the video keeps freezing when I want to watch it on my computer.
Believe me, it's not the computer it has more than enough ressources and power to be able to play a Full HD video.
Does anyone have a solution or a workaround for this problem? It would be highly appreciated...

Your PC needs the correct codecs to output the video files. Google for codecs.

Dude VLC Player is totally able to play MP4 files... it played ANY video file so far. Like I said, I really don't think it's a computer issue, I can play MP4 files on that machine... just not the ones from the phone...
Search XDA SGS2 somebody asked the exact same question . From memory the answer was the format used to record .

hi
i was recording a video but then the phone fell off my hand and switched off. after i switched it back on the video was no longer in the gallery but when i plugged the phone to the pc i saw a temp_video in the camera folder. is there any way to access this file?
thank you
if you found the file already, you should probably try and copy it to the pc and play it in vlc media player. if that is capable of playing, you should be able to convert it to any format you like and have a properly repaired video then.
i cant play the file with vlc player. any other suggestions.
I got the same trouble. got the temp_video file with no extention.. tried to add a extention to it with no help(.mp4,.mpg,.avi,.mpeg).. tried VLC Player and it indeed show the codec as Mpeg1/2 video, but cannot play it..
Hope there is some way to recover this video..
Good luck to you too.
Temp file is not encoded = no extension + no codec. Then it is impossible to recover video from temp file. I'm sorry.
this means u haven't clicked the video record button again to stop recording and SAVE the videos .. which means the device didn't even save it , so this temp file is useless .. sorry for ur vid
Hi everyone,
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE GT-I9305 and running 4.1.1. I am having problem in watching AVI videos on phone. S3 plays some AVI videos and some don’t play and for some just play audio but not video. I have tried YXPlayer2, VPlayer video player, MX Player, MOBO Video Player and few more but its same.
Now I know what u r thinking. Change the video format to play on your phone. Yes I have used Total video converter and Bigasoft total video coverter on my laptop to change video format to play on S3 but the AVI file that phone does not play, it will never play whatever file format I change like mp4 or somefing.
Looks like this is another drawback of Android.
Any suggestion or help please?
Your files may be faulty as SGS3 play many video formats .

Ok. I have even changed the AVI files into mp4 format and iphone does play them. If they are corrupt files then iphone would not play them.
Finally I have found the solution to play all AVI files in Samsung Galaxy S3 phone. I am posting here so it might help others too.
If you copy the AVI files direct into yr phone or memory card then phone will not play, no matter whatever video player you use.
Solution:
Install Samsung Kies and connect yr phone. Make sure you install My FREE CODEC too when it ask to install.
click your phone in Left menu in Kies and you will see full info in main window.
Click Import/Export tab on top.
In main window u will see two options (Import from PC) and (Export to PC)
Click on Import from PC and select Video and select import files or folder.
After successfuly import click video in left menu and play the video in kies.
When you play video in kies, it add the codec and you will be able to play video in S3 too.
I hope this info will help those who might get problem in playing any video in s3.
