Have her record them in a different format, .mov is the Apple Quicktime format, and the vibrant does not play them ...
So you have 2 choices ..
1.) have her record them in a different format if possible ..
or
2.) save them to your pc and convert them to a true .mp4 or another format supported by the vibrant .

Should handle .mov
(sorry bout link, new user thingy)
You could post some of her vids, so we could test em :-D

There are video players out there. I have The Dark Night and Wanted on my G1 stored on an 8gb class 4. Just make a folder called "Videos" and put it on the root of your sdcard (ie /sdcard/videos/MovieName.mp4). I am not sure as to all of the types of movies but you should probably encode to mp4 since it's the fastest, easiest and with the best compression. There are a lot of programs out there too. I use WinAVI and DVDFab (to mobile) for my encoding.
Iight thanks
okay, whats the best movie format for the tilt2, i've searched and still confused, if mpeg4, avi, divx, etc...also what's the best app to watch them in: TCPMP, coreplayer or the stock steaming that is loaded already..etc....
thanks in advance,
fyi, might be will to share some movie by posting it on a server for a couple days...=)
What I prefer for movie format is straight up Windows Media Video . Its great and its stock for Windows Mobile.
The Encoder for your PPC is called Windows Meda Encoder 9 (Google it).
Instructions.
Here are the steps to get the video size you want, which I hope you will try, you must go to the New Session Wizard, then click on Convert a File (If you are trying to convert a video file into WMV).
Then find your source file which is your Video you want to watch on your TP2, after that choose your output (Where you want to put that file after it encoded into WMV)
After click Pocket PC (Note that you won't change resolution here)
After all that, choose specifically Pocket PC widescreen video (CBR), then choose the quality of your Bitrate, Audio, and if you want you can add all the Description to your video file if you'd like. (Note that you won't change resolution here either)
Click next, and DON'T check mark Begin converting when I click finish.
Then click finish, after that click Properties on your Windows Media Encoder 9 (it should be on top with a Check mark inside a paper symbol) and click the Video Size Tab. There at the bottom of the wizard you should find Width and Height, set the Resolution to 800 x 480 if you want to view your video horizantel or 480 x 800which is vertical ( which I don't prefer ) After all that, your video should be small but at a good quality and allowing you to have free space on your Micro SD card, and it should be playing on WMP on your phone.
Hope my 2 cents helps
Like avi... Have 700+Mb movie files converted from dvds and they work like a dream...
Use coreplayer...
I use this for converting to MPG4 and then I view using the HTC player.
http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/htc-touch-pro2/
Free and absolutely smooth. Easy and quick converting.

I tried this but it puts in on an .mp4 format that does not play in my TP2, am I missing something? thanks.
i have another question, whats the best average size movie to put on the tilt 2 and still have good picture and runs smooth
About the average size for a movie would be almost 200MB to 300MB depending on the amount of time of the movie.
as anyone converted transformer 2 movie to mpeg4, i'm having problems...that movie won't let you convert?

I suppose whether it can be converted properly or not depends on the software you are useing and the source of the file.... who knows what could be wrong with it if you stole it off the internet. If you ripped it from your own dvd/bluray and it isnt working I would say that's likely because what ever converter program you are using doesnt work.
That said.. I dont bother coverting anything really. avi/mpg whatever format they come in TCPMP or Core player will play them just fine.

Hi All,
I have noticed yesterday while using the Ms. Zune that when sending an mp4 file ( A movie file) of 900 MB took only 60 seconds and was trsnferred to my Samsung Focus with the same size.
I was able to view the movie perfectly with no lags at all which means that this mobile phone (or the OS obviously) is able to view mp4 files nativly.
When compared with transferring a avi file which takes 30 minutes to 1 hour the mp4 file is amazing.
Hope this helps.
I guess you didn't know Windows phone 7 Zune doesn't support Avi's and converts them to the zune's playable format before syncing it. MP4's, MV4's, WMV's are support thus are not converted and sync right over.
Hope this helped
It appears that the camera takes movies in mp4. So I would hope that it can play back mp4's.

Actually it can.
Umm that's what he said..
Just a repetitive FYI: the phone does not support 3gp so if a friend sends you a MMS as 3gp you won't be able to view it.
OR can you and I am late to the IQ party? Let me know if I am wrong.

Who said anything about 3gp?
It's just a FYI about the mp4 files are much welcomed than any other video extension ( A high resolution video like the movie I tryed).
I don't know how accurate this is but here is a list of "supported" file formats for WP7:

What SW do you use to convert video you have recorded on your HD2 ?

That's for converting videos to play on the phone, not for converting videos recorded on it
And again, I fall for that old thanks-next-to-quote chestnut, so thanks for that
@OP Why do you want to convert them? What do you want to convert them to?

What it is.....
I love MediaCoder and sworn by it for years, until i tried to convert one's i've recorded on my HD2 in MPEG4 640x480
Always get encoding errors!
Want to convert them to .avi's to stream to my TV thru DLNA
Have you tried just getting a recent codec pack for your PC? I'm surprised it's having problems converting them.
http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
Also, if you've got the correct codecs on your PC you shouldn't have to convert the files - the DLNA server does it on the fly.
If that doesn't work, google turned up loads of converters for me. This is the first in the list and it looks quite nice...
http://www.leawo.com/video/mpeg-avi-converter.html
Yeh, as i say, i've used MC for years and yes, always have the K-L Mega CP on all my systems
DLNA does transcode on the fly but i always get 'file unsupported' on my Panasonic TV with these ones recorded on my HD2, hence the reason for wanting to re-encode them. Also want to distribute them to other people at my club in an easily playable format for them
Very frustrating i can tell ya :-s
I can throw practically anything at MC and no problems, only with these recordings from my HD2, can't understand why though.....
Hmmmm
Maybe some SW is causing the problem here.....
Can you play the files on your PC when you copy them off the HD2 - just in a regular player?

I switched from iphone to android and wanted to load my videos to my phone. I dragged and dropped my videos onto the camera roll, when I did this it asked to convert them so I said yes. I do still have the original files. I am on Galaxy S4, but figured it was more of an android thing than a Galaxy thing. Here is a pic to what it looks like
http://i.imgur.com/nKW4nce.png
This is what it looks like, I do know the GS4's screen is bigger, but the size of the video on my GS4 is smaller than what it looked like on the iphone, so it clearly did get shrunk
The iphone video file is .mov and the phone converts it to .wmv
You didn't mention what kind of computer you were using our if you were using a program to copy over the files. If it asked to convert the videos, would it still copy if you said no? I would think all you need to do is copy the files from the iPhone to the computer then from there to the phone. I can understand you needing a program to get them off the iPhone to the computer but you shouldn't need one to go from computer to android. Need more information in order to give better advice or instructions.
I'm on Windows 8 and no program. When I drag the files into the camera folder on the galaxy it asks to convert them. If I say no, the files copy, but they don't play.

I don't know anything about windows 8. Another slower copying method is using airdroid app on the phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sand.airdroid
You connect your phone to your home Wi-Fi network. Fire up airdroid. Enter the URL it tells you into your PC browser. Then you can just copy files that way without anything tampering with the files.

That won't work the problem is that the native media player for the s4 doesn't support mov videos. When u do the transfer select no then download MX player as the person before said and load it up and when it ask u tell it to always open in MX player

I would imagine that airdroid didn't care about the file type. I also thought that the iPhone recorded in m4a file format, which is just another name for mp4 encoding. Not to be confused with avi divx mp4. The videos I made on my 4s looked like cack on other hardware.

Nah all iphones record in mov I figured that out when I had to burn a lot of videos into a DVD for someone. The reason y the 4s videos look good on that phone is because of the screen resolution. Think about it. The ps2 had amazing graphics on a old TV but when u hook it up to a full HD TV its not as good unless upscale the game.
