OK, am I the only guy who seems to have a problem with watching a movie that I transferred to my external 32gb microSD?
The weird thing here is I can watch the movie (.avi or .mp4 format) from my external 500gb drive.
I've used moboplayer and some other player and they won't open the file.
Why is it, I can watch them on 500gb drive but not my external microSD card?
Any suggestions?
try rockplayer, i don't have too much video on sdcard, but i can watch it only with rockplayer (or some other exotic video player that i don't remember).
in my case (.avi file from internet) the problem is codec-related, the stock video player can't play this .avi file.
a
is rock player free?
i don't know!!!!! sorry!!!
maybe there is a lite free version? please check in the market (i try buy i'll see it linked on my phne/tablet and i see only "insalled"! also from pc browser!)

What video format does the nexus one read and where on the sdcard do we put them? Also what format does the camera output too when finished recording video?

Don't know about the first question, but the camera outputs 720x480. Try recording a video and checking your sd card to see the format.
it natively reads H.263 (encode and decode) MPEG-4 SP (encode and decode) H.264 AVC (decode), and no doubt reads many others with apps downloaded from the market. I beleive on the SD Card put them in a folder called "Video". Not sure about what the video output format is but I do know it is compatible with Youtube Uploading.

what extensions do those equate to? avi? wmv? m4v?
avi, mp4, not sure about wmv.
Just to test, I downloaded the 720P video of "Elephant's Dream" in MP4 format. . . AMAZING quality. :-D
http://www.savevid.com/video/elephants-dream-hd-1080p.html Scroll down and download the MP4 version.
Link says 1080, but pretty sure the MP4 is only 720.
DivX???

Im using a Mac and will be using doubleTwist (Also on PC)
Because it syncs with my iTunes but you can just drop and drag videos and it will convert to the correct format you
It will even detect your device as a Nexus One
MP4 is simply an encapsulation method, many MP4s are just going to be incompatible. There are pretty fine settings needed to get it to work, but I believe you'll want to transcode movies to h.264 or h.263 for video and aac audio, in 480x800.
If you want to be sure you can view the Nexus' videos on your PC, set up a youtube account and upload them after recording. Then you can log into your YouTube account and download them as MP4 (h.264)

Thanks, i try doubletwist.
where do we put videos on the sdcard, i cant find anywhere to put it.
Hey Blueman... I just plugged in the sdcard and made a new folder called video and put some movies and music videos in there. Once inserted back into the handset they were in my gallery, was pretty easy.

I always codec my videos to mp4 or m4v... I have loads of videos I've converted for my Omnia HD which are mostly mp4 and divx.... haven't tried any divx yet but the mp4's play just fine.
In case anyone needs an awesome video converter the best one IMO is format factory, which is free and has tons of presets and is easy to use.

m4v's aren't showing up on mine, they play the audio, but the video is not there.

i'm getting the same thing from an mkv file i encode. i do have some other mp4's working, but can't figure out the settings to get every movie working. how annoying. just support more formats!
why arent avi's supported?
So guys,I have tried playing some hd movies on my DHD with no success.Mostly I used 720p,but also tried the native 480p.All the videos were encoded using H.264 mid-high profile with a size of about 1.8-2 gigs.These videos either don't play at all or play with severe lag,both on stock video player and rock player,making them unwatchable.
The strangest thing of all though is that said videos play super smooth on my "old" Desire ( ) and have awesome quality.The Desire doesn't seem to give a **** what I throw at it,it plays everything.What is wrong with the DHD?Does anyone have the same problem?Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
PS:Sorry for my english but it's almost 4 am here and I am really really tired!

i had the same issue, but i figured it out that DHD only plays several formats
such as:
.3gp, .3g2, .mp4, .wmv (Windows Media Video 9), .avi (MP4 ASP and MP3), .xvid (MP4 ASP and MP3)

Not the situation here!I think I even encode them with the same "specs" as the videos taken with the camera.Am I missing something here?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Are you using the same SD Card that you use on the Desire? (Are they the same movie files on the same SD Card?) If not I would recommend formatting the SD Card as a first step.
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3
Same problem here. I tried several players like RockPlayer and VPlayer.
Videos are laggy and the sound is out of sync. Lags occur mostly on 720p MKV and MP4 files. I tried nearly every ROM and kernel out there, everytime the same results: laggy and out of sync.
Is there a fix for it?

Yeah,it's the very same card(put the DHD's 8GB card in the Desire ) with the same file.Maybe it's because I used to have an ext partition which I deleted and then expanded the FAT partition on the space left by the ext one.Cause I also have problems with files becoming corrupt.Will try that,thanks!
Is there a way to download a YouTube video to our Elocity A7?
If yes, is it downloaded directly or through an App, etc.? Or could we download it to our computer and then transfer to our Elocity A7?
We would like to put one John Denver video on the Elocity A7.
Thank you.
I used tubemate last time around which worked fine,

I want to download and play a YouTube video on the Elocity A7. I have the YouTube Downloader on one of my WinXP (which will only accept a Flash Drive attached to it. I tried to use the YouTube Downloader to download the John Denver video. It was saved a a FLV file. I don't know what that is.
The YouTube Downloader allows you to convert into:
IPOD video (Apple Quick Time Mov)
Iphone video (MPEG-4 NP4)
PSP Video (H.264 MP4)
Cell Phone (H.263 3GP)
Windows Media Video (V.7 WmV)
XVid MPEG-4 codec AVI
MPEG Audio Layer 3 MP3
Manual conversion (asks for the insertion of parameters)
Since I don't know what I am doing, I don't know which one to choose.
And then, after it is converted (that is if it can be converted) on the Flash Drive, how do I get it onto the A7 and how do I play it?
Can you or anyone help? Or should I just forget about it?
I have put the YouTube video on a SD card.
How do I get the Elocity A7 to play a video from that card?
I see a Music app on the Homepage, but I do not see a Video player.
A previous post said to use Rockplayer. Is that what I would have to install on the Elocity A7?
How do I do that? How do I install a video player on my Elotciy A7?
Can someone help please?

#1- How do I get "Rockplayer" onto my Elocity A7?
#2- We can convert the YouTube downloaded Video into either of the following. Correct?
Iphone video (MPEG-4 NP4)
or
XVid MPEG-4 codec AVI
Either one of them on the SD card would be able to be played on the Elocity A7 via "Rockplayer?"
(I only have Getjar Apps on this Elocity! When I open browser on Elocity I can get to a Rockplayer Lte site (https://market.android.com), but don't know if I can download from there.)
ADD-ON: I just noticed if I click on Gallery, I can see the YouTube video I put on the SD card. When I click on it, the video plays. Hooray!!!
Ok so my problem is regarding playing some movies I recently encoded. Movie info is as such:
h.264 MP4
2.8gb size
2000 kps Bitrate
800x480 resolution
29.75 Fps
128 kps audio
The movies I have tried are King Kong and Inception, now these movies have both played fine using WP7 but when I try to load them in Android they fail to play.
Is there a file size limit to what Android can handle processing? Shorter movies (FF7 Advent Children for example) will play just fine when the file size is about 1.5-1.8gb.
I tried the stock video player along with several free options from the market and same story every time.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me
Currently Rom I'm using is in my signature
2.8gb for movie files is too bigger to handled by android sd cache, have u try sd card booster ?
anyway what the encoder program u have used ? a 2.8gb with WVGA resolution kinda waste
Im suggesting 'auto gk ' for best compression
I believe the problem is the SD card file system.
Fat32 cannot support files bigger than 2048MB = 2GB
sorry to throw this into further confusion but i just finished watching sorcerer's apprentice and the mp4 file size is 2.6gb. i alternate between using rockplayer and vital player on my hd2. no problems and the skip / locate works well. example, i wasn't able to finish it on the train yesterday morning. in the afternoon, boarded the train and rockplayer picked it up from the last scene i left it. although....i DID run into an mkv 300mb file which was rather slow and the skip/locate froze up. which is really strange because i've watched other mkv files with no problems. could be the file itself regardless if it's mp4, mkv, avi, etc.

Fat32 is 4gb limit if I remember right from my xbox360 days, if it was 2gb the file wouldn't be on a fat32 drive in the first place, or copy successfully onto a fat32 SD card from say a ntfs drive
download QQ Player from the android market. Thats what solved my problem.

See I wonder what it is that's different that allowed you to play that.
Possibly a stupid question but I have some movies on my computer I might load one of two at a time to watch on my Nex but it seems most won't play, at least the ones I've tried.
What format do I have to convert them to?
I've tried using Google movies and the video player built in. I'd like to have the files work in Movies.

yes i have similar issues.
The google movies app doesn't like or detect any of my mp4 or avi films, and the double twist, mx and daroon players will not play many of my avi files that played perfectly well on my htc phone using the stock movie app.... any suggestions of apps, codecs or file formats etc to use?
MX Video Player hasn't let me down in the past. Some people have also mentioned some other player that starts with a "D", but I can't recall what it is atm
I use the BS player and it plays everything I have thrown at it well.The MX player did not work well at all for me.I have movies and tv shows in several formats loaded on a flash drive and BS plays them all.
I use vplayer via usb otg from a 16gb data traveller it plays all my. avi a treat.
