is there a way to use that video player as the default player for videos?
If I recall, associate your video files to the HTC_VideoPlayer.exe
How would i go about that

yes, how would you do this? I prefer the HTC Video player over the 3rd party solutions but I can't find a good gui to access the videos aside from the ugly File Explorer
Total Commander perhaps?
The pictures and videos tab
Go to the pictures and videos tab.
Go to albums lower left.
Go to albums again on lower left and this wilol bring up a list of all of your pics and videos on both device and storage card.
Click the one you wish to play and from there it will use the HTC player by default.
Ugly route, but it works.

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?
Nobody?
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?
When I click on the HTC pictures/videos album icon, all my movies (even in .avi format) have the Windows Media Player icon.
My HD2 tries to open all my movies with Media Player. It seems I don't have the embedded HTC movie player (with hardware acceleration).
Is it normal?
Ok. Had to do a Hard Reset. Works now.
Hmmmm.. Maybe mine is the same then.. Didnt even realise there was a embedded HTC movie player.. Should I do the same to make .avi's work without a 3rd party app?
No, try to play the HTC demo video.
If you can see it, it's ok. It means you have the HTC default player.
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
Has anybody figured out how to do it? It seems that no matter what format I have my videos in, and no matter where I put my video files, they just refuse to show up on the Photos & Videos tab.

Works fine for me, but only MP4 files. Try using the album to find the folder with videos in and set it as your favourite folder to see if that helps. (Albums, albums, select the folder, menu, set album as favourite.)
Only MP4? That's a shame, HTC's website says it supports ".wmv, .asf, .mp4, .3gp, .3g2, .m4v, .avi".
I had tried .mp4 the first time, but it didn't work. It must have been because the resolution of the video was too high (720p). I copied a smaller (640x480) video and now it shows up under Albums.
