Hey guys ive been making some videos with my phone but when i try to play them on my computer, it only has audio and no picture. The weird thing is that not all the videos are like that, but rather some. When i see the list of the videos i made on my laptop, some of the thumbnails have pictures and others dont and the ones that dont have a pic doesnt have any video but audio streams out. Its a very peculiar issue. Im currently running virtuous unity. Also, when playing back on my phone, it plays fine. Its only when i hook up my phone to my computer that it does this. Any insight would be helpful

did you check to see what format the videos are in and if the player you are using on your computer is compatible with that certain format?
Yeah its in .mp4. Again, its only some videos that i recorded that wont play. It might be an issue with my computer... I dont know..

Guys,
I just got my streak..
Why can't it play .mp4 straight out of the box (via videos) just like htc desire ??
I had to download rockplayer to play it, and it lags so much!
Anyone else had same problem??
Works for me. Did you try going into gallery and play it from there?
I love vplayer its basic and straight to the point

i went to photos & videos... the mp4s appear, but unable to play the video ??
I have been reading a lot over the best file type for this phone, which is said to be .mp4 but when I convert my movies to .mp4 in play back it's cut off, meaning I doesn't use the fullscreen even after stretching it, but when I use .avi it fits in perfectly the problem with .avi ia that out makes the file sizes to big and some movies I can not transfer. I have tried a lot of different things just wondering if anybody has solved the problem.

You have to properly encode the video here is detail explanation with HD profile of what your mpeg4 video output should look like in *.mp4 format. You don't need to convert it with any other A/V codec as mpeg4 containers is sufficient if done correctly. I always encode my videos for mobile device before I transfer it thats another reason it looks good.
Codec: X264 2 Pass
Resolution: 800x480
Bitrate: 128kbps
Crop: 5:3 (1.667)
I will try. What video conversion software do you use?
I don't get the option to change the crop with the 2 that I use
Check your PM, info sent.
Thanks!!
Thanks a lot man! I gave credit where its due, i'm converting now.
Enjoy buddy lol this saved my life as you watch video in HD with no audio or video out of sync. The quality of the video is only subjected to the orginal input of the file. Most folks IRL always ask me how come they can't make videos like that lol thats another reason I win the brag war saying my phone is smarter than your phone.
Dude this program is awesome our even inserted subtitles for me.

I put up a post about this a while back, but the thread kinda died. I tried out Cyanogenmod 7 recently and as we all know...they only have nightly versions. Nothing stable. When I tried it I liked everything EXCEPT the fact that I couldn't view my old videos. I'm not just talking about old videos taken with my blur camera. I'm talking about REALLY old videos that I took over the years with older phones. Anyway, I wanted to know if there's a fix for this. Please let me know bc I REALLY like the other aspects of CM 7. Thanks!

Haha double pasted this link lol... this is a link to vlc media player alpha, with this installed on my DX I can play all old blur videos and multiple different file types that CM7 wouldn't play, not sure but I bet it'll play your old .3gp files as well. Make sure to follow the instructions on their site to determine if your processor is neon or not, my DX and SGT are both neon, but yours may be different...

Well, I just tried it out on my stock rom before trying cyanogenmod again and vlc player wouldn't play sound on my REALLY old videos. The newer stuff would play though. Ugh....I still need a better solution to this. :-/

You might have to convert your really old 3gp's to a different format... will the stock rom play them with any player?
Sent from my SGT running CM7
There are many other third party players you can try. Rockplayer and mxplayer come to mind. Worth a shot?
Sent from my DROIDX using xda premium
@hoot- yes, the stock player still plays my super old videos.
@runn- I tried mxplayer last time I had CM 7 on my phone and it didn't work. I don't remember if I tried rockplayeror not tho. Maybe it's worth a shot. If I convert my old files what should I convert them to anyway?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I would convert files to something general like maybe avi or mpg... something that any player will play... if you don't have access to a computer, I think there are apps on the market that allow you to convert files... look around a bit

I didn't see any other threads relating to this - any else have video playback that pauses every few seconds? Seems to happen to me for just about any online video, youtube, etc.
Same here, no surprise another problem with the phone.
Same problem here. Seems to be more pronounced while the video is being downloaded. Once it is, the playback seems to be smoother.
I think it's an internet issue as downloaded videos play perfectly.

I'll disagree. There's a progress bar on most video/YouTube streams. I pause to let my crappy DVP buffer said videos and even when a video is half-loaded the thing will still stutter along until the download is COMPLETELY finished.
Personally I think it's related to WiFi as downloading over cellular data doesn't always result in the stutter.
My coworkers HD7 doesn't have the same issues while streaming videos over WiFi.
ive recently realised that when i play videos on my nexus 4 majority of the video is pixelated. which makes any movie or anyting completely useless to watch.
at first i thought maybe its the video file. so I tried it on my Xperia T, but it was fine no pixelation whatsoever. I tried it on my pc, no pixelation. I tried it on my ps3 and ps vita again no pixelation. Also BTW its not just a specific video file, anything i try to watch on the nexus 4 goes pixelated through majority of the video.
Then I thought that maybe its the media player that im using on the phone. it wasn't. i tried MX player, vlc for andriod, ES player and even the default video player. same thing on all of them; it pixelates in exactly the same places.
something that i also noticed is that on MX player when i play the video it doesn't play using the HW decoder only HW+ and SW, which is even more mind boggling because on my Xperia T it plays fine on HW.
can someone please help me with this. i would like to avoid factory resetting the phone if possible but if all else fails i may have to do it.
any help is appreciated.
THANKS
