I have an issue with videos on my Touch. Just recently I tried creating and watching a video for the first time. My photos and video folder is stored on my SD card.
I can record the video and it is in the right folder (the Touch can easily find it under videos), but whenever I try to play the video, Windows Media Player says "The source filter for this file could not be loaded".
Anyone know how to fix this problem?

screw windows media, just install TCPMP

I second that and if you can, get the latest Core.

Yeah, I've got it installed and it does work for these files.
Any way to easily make TCPMP the default app instead of WMP?
I would like to know why WMP won't work though. It bugs me when something doesn't do as it should.
in TCPMP, go into settings > file assoc. and select the ones you want. as far as WMP, i'm sure there is a relatively simple fix, but at the end of the day, WMP is still a completely useless player.
Thanks! I'll go and check that out.
Edit: One more quick question for anyone that knows. Even though I associate TCPMP with .MP4 video files, when I use the cube and select videos and choose a video that I've recorded and hit play, the cube by default brings up WMP to play the video. There must be somewhere in the registry where I can change this to default to TCPMP for playback right?
Hi,
I had a mp4 video encoded at 800*480 resolutions.
When i go to file manager and access the file directly it plays normally on the HTC album software itself, but when i navigate to HTC album is is nowhere to be found.
Can anybody tell me how i could make my video show on the HTC album itself so I can access it on HTC sense.
Thanks

Either put the video in one of the folders Album recognises (Videos, Pictures) or launch Album and press the Albums soft key to select the folder where the video is. I have several mp4 videos and they all show up.

I tried this but it doesn't work. It briefly shows "wrong" sign in an empty square when i select the video folder, then nothing at all ???
Any idea ?
I'm having an issue with HTC Album whereby recording videos works fine and their thumbnails are created but selecting the videos within HTC Album doesnt play them. Pictures can be viewed fine but not videos. Tried a soft reset which still doesnt do anything. Tried a hard reset which cured the problem then after a short while HTC Album refused to play the videos it created again only allowing me to tap on the video and then it just sits there not doing anything. Any help much appreciated.
I have same issue's. video's taken bij the camera no problem. Copied video's 800x480 for example the helicopter video, won't appear. others do!
Only MP4 & 3GP (H.264 AVC) videos encoded with the Baseline profile (using x264) will show up. H.264 videos encoded with the Main or High profile will briefly show up with an error and disappear when opening the Album or the folder they're in.
The Album can still play them though.
Or at least, that's what it does on my device. Camera videos are encoded using H.264 Baseline and AAC. Would like more input for that.
To fix, either open them manually (Use a file explorer, look for your video, open it with HTC Album (\Windows\HTCAlbum.exe)) or reencode your videos using the Baseline profile.

I'm not actually converting any types of videos for playback on HTC Album. The videos I'm referring to are the ones recorded by the HD2 camera itself and by default show up within HTC Album but refuse to play even though their thumbnails are present and visible.
I have the same problem as you are describing and wondered how I caused it. I have installed Core player and all the videos taken with the HD2 play without any problem.
I have changed some of the links in the program folder to suite my own preference but none of the links were broken. When I open a video via HTCAlbums, the screen goes landscape with a "loading" message showing, it also plays what just sounds like static.
Not sure what I might have loaded that is causing the problem, a couple of programs are "Change screen" and "hComber". I don't want to hard reset so I'll start by uninstalling these programs unless someone stumbles on to a fix??
Same here, records but does not play back. Has anyone found a fix.
Cheers
Same issue here. HD2 from T-Mobile Germany. This is ridiculous & very annoying.

I had this issue it was caused by the YouTube app I had installed, don't know if there is a fix.
Video playback not working
Did you ever fix your video problem?
I have same.
I can't play back video taken on my Fuze ever since I loaded a WinMo 6.5 ROM.

I am haveing the same problem,brand new htc wont play the videos i record at all any one found a fix.. really like everything else about the phone dont want to send it back becuase of this....
I also have this problem (or a very similar one). I can see the video files in HTC album, but pressing on it does nothing.
If anyone knows the cause or solution I would be very grateful.
Same here......I just returned from a week skiing in Italy, where I shot some videos of a nice girl dancing on the table outside at -5 degrees celsius wearing a mini skirt and a mini t-shirt
We were all packed in multiple layers of clothes and skiing outfits and we weren't really warm.
She must have had lots of 'schnapps', cause she didn't seem to be bothered with the cold
Anyway, I shot 3 videos, the first 2 display fine, but the 3rd just says 'Loading' and then nothing happens anymore.
1st video is 10.6 Mb
2nd video is 4.5 Mb
3rd video is 12.6 Mb (this is the one that doesn't play)
It doesn't matter if I play the video from Photos and Videos using the slider, or from Albums frm the Start Menu, or from File Explorer.
Then I hooked up my HD2 to my PC, and copied the 3rd video to the PC where it plays fine in Quicktime. However, I've noticed that the first 32 seconds of the video has NO sound. Sound pops up after 33 seconds, so maybe that's what's causing these issues in HTC Album ??? Or maybe that the recorded size is a factor ???
Same annoying problem here!!!
Don't know what caused it because it was working fine before, maybe some program or tweak I installed...
Thumbnails of my videos show on the album and Sense but when I click on them nothing happens, the videos worked fine before and I can still view them on CorePlayer.
¿Any ideas?
I had this problem when i installed the You Tube cab. I uninstalled it and HTC Album and video worked fine
When you talk about the youtube app you mean the HTC youtube app or the Original Youtube app for windows mobile? the one you can download from the mobile youtube web
I can confirm that at least in my case it was the HTC youtube app that was causing the problem, it seems I have to choose between youtube or being able to watch my videos!
What method do recommend in playing movies and other videos on the Nexus One from what files to play, how to transfer them to the phone, and how to play them on the phone.
I browse my movie files on Astro file manager or the stock Gallery app. NemoPlayer browses music nicely too. However, a dedicated movie player would be nice.
I also noticed that it doesn't play all of my videos. It's probably because of the resolution.
I use the paid for version of Act1. The program from what i see only plays video. The program tells you what time it is ie. real time. it also tells you how much battery power you have left as well. When you open the program it tells you what files on the phone/SD card that can be played. What i do is make sure the video file i have is already in HD most of the time 720p or 1080p. I use WinX Video Converter to convert the file to MP4. I set the res to 800x480. The video file plays with no skipping and no problems. The picture also looks really nice as well. If i had to answer your problem about it not playing the file i would say that is before the file is not support by the N1. I believe just MP4 and H.264 are the only supported files. It plays the same thing a Iphone can play and a Itouch pretty much.
Is there anyway to play files other than mp4. Such as wmv?
Someone knows how you can watch a full screen video in the stock video player without the black bands?
Other phones (HTC Hero for example) have a button on the player to resize the video.
Thx

The default player won't do it. Act1 has a full screen option and it's a great app, as the previous poster detailed.
Thx! good player
1). Is there a way of launching the sense video player and then choosing files for it like you can with the windows media app? the only way i see to launch the player is to go to the photos and videos tab and when you do launch it via that tab you only get a picture of the videos first frame and not the file name which is a problem for me.
2). It seems that sense wont or can't keep open it's music player and video player at the same time or even the windows media player according to dutty's task manger as soon as i launch the music player after using the video, the video shuts down and vica versa a pain as i constantly switch between video and music on my journeys.
Coreplayer stays open but i'm having issues with that at the moment.
Anyone?
number 2 is really annoying

2. They all use the same player, basically just different skins, so your answer is no. Coreplayer is a different player/program.
thought so, oh well, cheers
Hi guys,
I'm having some problems trying to play the website iphone anime. It streams just fine on the iphone and the encoding is mp4, so that should be ok. I can only download the files and then play it, I cannot stream it. I've been trying to change the default player but I can't seem top do so. Any our ideas?
Just tried with Meridian and get the error message about "streaming to this device", might be a 1.6 issue.
can somebody test this in 2.1

If you have trouble streaming .mp4 files it may be becasue you have uninstalled mediascape. I found that i couldnt stream .mp4 any more after i uninstalled mediascape & MediaPluginManager.apk, one quick reinstallation using adb later and its all working again.
i never touched mediascape so it isnt that. Try websites like this... http://iphoneanime.net, http://mediamp4.com ,http://iphonehentai.com/ and play any of those listed movies. They are all in mp4 format (great sites by the way for movie buffs who love to watch streaming videos)
I never was able to get them working while i was on 1.6 and after 2.1 the default player still says unable to load file. I then tried Vplayer (awesome, get it from the market) and now i am able to stream 50% of the movies on these websites. I think it has to do with the native streaming support of the base player. it just isnt any good......
