I have been looking for how people are getting their mp4s onto their phones and syncing it with there album? i cant seem to get them to load from the sd card and would like to watch videos with out leaving sense ui. any help would be greatly appreciated.
Press the albums button, then from camera shots press it again.
Browse to the folder your videos are in and select menu/set as favorite album.
Not the greatest, but that's how it works.
is there a certain folder your suppose to create?
all i have got under sd storage is 100media filled with pictures.
ive placed videos in here before but to no avail.
What format video files are you putting in there? Sense cannot detect all formats properly, I have found that MP4 files work well and there is a nice tool to re-encode them here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467112
Coreplayer is an option if you do not wish to re-encode, it works well on the Leo but doesnt play everything either (AC-3 not supported).
Im just working with x264 encoded mp4 files.
ive already got core to play the avi files.
no matter where i put them in the sd card, no luck
I am not an expert on this, and there is nothing more I can suggest really.
Hopefully someone else can assist you better, because I am about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, sorry.
Hello dude, may i make a suggestion?
Why don't you choose the album "All" as favorite?
Therefore, you'll get every photo and (compatible mp4) videos in the coverflow!
There, wherever you put the videos and photos, they shall appear in Coverflow.

Hi...
why is it that when i play a movie on WIndows Media, it lags? like it skips.
the file im playing is a .wmv file. This movie is stored on a 1GB SD card. is it because i have too much stuff on my card? i have used about %50 of the card. please help.
is there another player that doesnt lag. or is the problem with me having too much stuff on the card?
pocketMVP have an cache option you can turn on but i dont think it support wmv but most people get divX and mpg anyway
also make sure the video size is not much bigger then what the screen can display otherwise it just require tons of extra transfer which is not being displayed
still need help
Hm, i'm using Gsplayer or WinamPAQ for audio files. In my opnion they are the best.
I had the same problems with hi-res ish large downloaded .wma files aswell.
The reason is stated above.
If you rip the wma. file to something your ppc can handle you wont have a prob.
Is it possible to have videos stored on the SD card appear in the video manager interface in the cube? It's strange and frustrating that music files on the SD card will appear in the audio manager, but not pictures of videos, at least that I can find. am I missing something?
Hi, i´m new in this, but:
move your video files to a folder called DCIM\100MEDIA.
It's what I did, and it works.
Probably there is a better way, but i'm a beginner.
Seeya.

Thanks. this works for my pictures, but if I put videos into that folder, I still can't see them. do I need different sub-folders for pics and vids?
I moved my videos from my old nokia to that folder and I can see them in the video app in te cube. Mi software is the Vodafone spanish version, may be differences. Sorry.
What format are your videos in? Probably only works for formats that the camera will take movies in. i.e. not if they're .avi's.

MP4 from nokia, i didn't try with any other yet.
i have the same problem. i make a new video and in the album of the cube it doesn't appear
I'm having some trouble. . .
On my Wing, it seems that it wont really play any of the videos I store on my SD card. I've got maybe 300 gigs of media on my box, and I realize that the device supports 3GP, MP4, and AVI files, though I have no idea what versions of those extensions will play.
I have tried converting file types, file strengths (encoding, etc) to no avail. At one point I condensed an episode from my Robot Chicken DVD (picked for hilarity as well as small file size) and though the file was say, 50 MB on the computer (and played using WMP), and 50MB on the phone, it only played and scrolled as if the file was 5 seconds long on the phone.
Just like the blackberry, I assume there is a converter, or something I am otherwise missing here. All I really want to be able to do is to take a DVD, or take a file I've created, found, unearthed while deep-sea diving, etc, and play it on my Wing.
Where do I start?
EXTRA BONUS QUESTION: I installed Opera Mini as an alternative browser in root, which I now realize is IMPOSSIBLE to access. I believe a memory wipe should cure that. Would it be accessable if I store it on say, the SD card? Through file manager maybe?

Media player sucks for viewing any type of video on your phone. I suggest you install TCPMP and you should be fine. Do a search on the forum and you should find it pretty easy. As far as your Opera Mini Question....you should be able to run it from your SD card just fine.
Much appreciated, roman, I had figured it would be something like that. Glad to be rid of WMP too.
Clarifying question: How do I play the files through TCPMP? Ive tried from the file itself in file manager and it tries to launch WMP. I dont see a "file > open" type pathway within TCPMP itself.
What am I missing there?
add the file to it's playlist

There is actually a open tab thing in TCPMP, on the botton control bar in the player, click on the first tab from the left and in there there is the open option. And if you want the files to automatically open with TCPMP when you acces them from the file explorer etc. then you go to the TCPMP sttings and then to file associations. IN there select the files that you want to be asociated with TCPMP, and i think after a soft reset, they will automatically be opened with TCPMP.

Most of my movies or videos are in AVI or MP4.
i'm running a stock 6.5 unmodded and locked TMOUS hd2. when i first got the phone, videos ran smoothly. but weeks later, the videos became choppy. i dont know why. i turn off 3g, wifi, and set brightness to 20%. i also disable all tasks in the background. but videos still play choppy. why is this happening and what do i do to ply videos smoothly?
Are you playing the same video you played before, otherwise the problem might be with the file encoding. Moreover, try reinstalling the video player (if it's not the default Windows Media), or alternately, try another media player (like TCPMP).
If the video files are stored on your micro SD card and the SD card is old. It might benifit you to malefactors back up copy of your SD card on your computer and then reformat it using Fat 32. If reformatting does not help you then maybe thecplayer you are using is not such a good player to use with the video files you are experiencing problems with. The TCPMP player the other member posted above is a good player that supports a kids of video formats that the Manila and Windows Media Player do not. You can find the TCPMP layer her on XDA.

hey t-mag. i think its got to do with the video encoding. i say this cuz a couple of movies play smoothly off the sd card while a couple of others dont. so it could be a matter of re-encoding those movies that arent smooth.
as you know, i'm a newbie. when i go into file explorer and click to play a movie off my sd card, a program plays it in full screen by default. whats the name of this program? i know its not windows mobile media player.

That is the Manila video player, don't ask where you can find it on your HD2 as I never found it when I was running Win Mo, believe me I looked lol. If it is the encoding then re-encoding may just fix them. But like a I said in my last post the TCPMP player is great, I never found a video it would not play, and it has a full screen mode as well. If the file you are trying to play is a file in Windows Media format it will automatically open Windows Media Player to play the video and not the Manila player. You can open non Windows Media files to play with the Windows Media player by opening Windows Media Player and selecting open file then find the video you want and open it. Or you can go to freewarepcketpc.net and search foe file extension for Windows Mobile File Explorer. This is a add n for the defualt File explorer that adds the properties option and the open with option to File Explorer if you long press a file.
This is my first smartphone so yeah I'm an Android noob. I spent an hour on Google searching how to properly transfer media to Android devices and tried different things but to no use.
I have the 32GB model and it's unrooted/stock with no sim card installed yet. I just wanted to try some videos, music, and pictures to get a feel for the screen and speakers. My micro USB cord is fine and when it's plugged in the PC I can see the media is in the MXPE's folders and taking up space. I turn the phone on and off and try putting them in different folders but no matter I can't find it. I removed a file called .nomedia but that didn't help. It appears the phone is keeping them hidden from me. I tried transfer through both MTP and PTP but no go.
This is surely a simple problem so please help this bonehead out. Thank you. :silly:
So I put the photos, videos, and music in the "Pictures" folder using PTP mode and they work fine now. From stock Android, FLAC and many video formats don't work. Wav and MP4 work fine so I had to convert some of my video files to use them. When I get online I'll download more programs for different formats. I'll leave this here in-case anyone has a similar problem or anything to add.
