Iv tried moving videos Iv recorded from my phone on to my computer and also onto a usb drive and both times the video copies over but when you play it there is only a blank/black screen on the computer/usb copy but the audio plays. The video plays fine on the phone. I was just moving them from the folders. What am I doing wrong? :crying:
what video player are you using? try downloading Videolan player and check.
Still same result. I tried windows preview and windows movie maker originally.

Video codec missing on your pc.
Try another versatile player like VLC or MPC-HC.
And check if your graphics driver is properly installed.
I tried check that everything was installed and updated. I don't know how to install or add a codec so I ended up downloading a pack and now the video is working so hopefully that was an ok fix. Thanks.

i had success playing all mp4 files using quicktime
i had the exact same problem. any video i transferred to my pc would not play. quicktime would play 3gp files, but not mp4. no other software would play my mp4 files except for vlc player. i'm assuming it's an error in my windows installation or registry. i'm gonna transfer a couple vids to one of my laptops and see if they play on there. then i'll know whether or not it's due to my windows installation. if they play on laptop, i'll do a clean install of xp and see if they play.
Super will play them as well as the newest realplayer....
Hi
Why u not try Ultimate Media Pack or Classic Media Player? U can get this soft on www.9down.com
download quicktime OR download and install this then you can play the vids in wmp on your pc

I had the same problem, I just rename the video files from .mp4 to .3gp on my computer and it plays them just fine.
I have DVD Fab 7 and have been using that to covert files for awhile now for friends phones and PS3's and things like that.
I took a Blu-Ray today and used the option to covert to MP4 file. I successfully did it and did confirm it works and plays on the computer. However when i transfer it over, both the Windows Media Player and streaming media player will recognize it as a MP4 file, but only play the audio and no video.
Is it because a Blu-Ray movie is too high of a resolution? There wasn't an option to convert the resolution so i don't know.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks
did you try core or tcpmp?
I had TCPMP on there but never used it. It would never stream any movies smoothly, so I took it off. Maybe I'll give it another shot and see if that does anything. It was just way too glitchy on both Transformer movies so I took it off.
keep tcpmp and try some different playback settings
I remember back in 06 it ran a mkv file of the big o at 244 mb on a samsung i730
trust me when I say this - its powerful if its set up right
I just installed the TCPMP player and it won't even open the movie. As soon as I select it, the player closes and immediately goes back to the home screen. I'm still trying to find all the settings to adjust and see if maybe there is something there I need to change.
did you change the blu ray resolution? I know you said you converted it to mp4 but on my tp2 one huge issue was playing hi def movies. I got sound but I never got anything else...it just seems similar
actually it happened when I downloaded a higher quality benjamin button movie...
and ghost int he shell individual 7 3 hour movie
have you tried an 800x480 res?
Yeah I'm pretty sure the resolution is the problem. I found a converter that makes it 800x480 and currently going through the conversion process now. Hopefully that will help.
oh it will =)
help monumentously!
good luck!
Update: Even after setting the resolution correctly when ripping the BluRay to 800x480, I still cant' get any video from any of the players.
I'm trying a regular DVD now to see if I can get that right and go from there. Any other suggestions?
Looking for a favour ASAP please guys (i.e, before I go to work :-D). I want to be able to transfer .avi files onto my phone and play them, and after searching around, installing stuff (such as Coreplayer & TCPMP), I've decided that they don't support .avi's, OR I've just downloaded the wrong .cab for my HD2.
Can anyone provide me with a link to a good-.avi-playing media player for my HD2 pretty please?
If it matters I'm just using the bog-standard 1.43 ROM at the moment.
Thanks for your help guys.
core supports avi...actually it supports mkv and ogm as well
there is a limit of size
if the file is above the normal 855x485 limitation that will cause problems and you will only hear sound and no video. But core supports those file types
heck I love watching my noir ogm. Try to go to options and ensure you have chain's graphic driver and 100% smooth...it'll make a difference
So why do I get 'Unknown file type' errors when trying to play .avi files? Both TCPMP and Core
Any answers quickly please?? Hate to be pushy, but I've got just under an hour.
Just two quick suggestions:
1) Do the files work on your PC?
2) Your phone is unplugged from your PC when you try to play?
3) Have you tried loading the .avis from within the app rather than just clicking on them in File Explorer?
Thanks for your help buddy.
Yes, to all 3 questions mate. Is there a codec pack or something for the HD2? As a very select few play OK, yet most don't, but they are all .avi, makes me wonder if it's a codec problem.
Did u try this version of tcpmp?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634951&highlight=tcpmp
Yeah just tried that one, same problem mate. Weird, huh?
That's weird. I can play .avi files with that version of TCPMP.
Copied straight over, or do you convert them first?
I copied straight to my storage card. What's the resolution of the video? Try playing different .avi video, i.e different size, different resolution , and see if it works?
I'm a newbie to my Android phone, I am in the Caribbean so I have no access to the market on my phone, i had to trick it to get apps on it at first because it would not see the content of the SD card because i could not download the File Manager.
I noticed I could not play videos so after getting the file manager I decided to download a video player and hoped that would solve the problem, well all it does is play the audio of the movie and my screen remains dark and blank, what am i doing wrong guys? and if its the software that's the problem where can i download a good video player for free that will work?

I'm guessing you're unrooted, correct?
For the videos (which I assume you're playing off the sdcard) did they ever work? If they didn't it's going to be because they're using a codec your phone doesn't support (probably divx, xvid, although I doubt the avi container would show up in many video apps), so you'll need to convert them or find a player that does support them.

Can you record video with your camera/camcorder app and then play them back?
If so then you can play video just fine and it's just a codec issue.
If not then it sounds like an app or rom issue.

Yes Binary you are indeed correct, it was a codec issue, i can indeed play videos my camera records plus i downloaded an mp4 from online after i posted my complaint here and it played just fine on my MT3G, the problem was i converted the movies to play on my phone with "Allok 3GP PSP MP4 iPod Video Converter" but for some reason it seemed to mess up the mp4 format because it wont play on my phone but it plays back fine on my computeri even redid them in 3GP and my phone still didnt play them, I downloaded another converter and the movies are indeed playing just fine. thanks again for your speedy response

Just put the installer (the cab file) on to your SD card then browse to that location on your phone using file explorer and then run the installer.
Yeah, AFAIK the best one is TCPMP for windows mobile.
Transcoding video clips for the Sense video player
If you want to use the Sense video player you have to transcode most video clips.
I used HandBrake to convert my favorite clips to MP4 (H.264 AVC).
Following settings are necessary in every video transcoder so that the clips are played:
Set B-Frames and 8x8 DCT to 0.
Another option is to select "iPod" as preset and increase the bitrate to 1000 kbps and the display resolution to your needs.
Set the framerate (FPS) same as source to avoid judder.
cheers guys
So did it work. I had a similar problem? I just havent tried in a while
