I have an alltel TP and i recorded a video using the stock camera app and i cannot get it to go on my computer running vista I have tried just dragging and dropping it but it won't play at all. It plays fine on my phone and other phones ive sent it to. I have also tried importing it with windows mobile device center. If i try to play it with quicktime it says invalid sampling error and shows it as an .mp4 Anyone have an idea to get it to play? Or am i importing it wrong?
Edit: i can play other .mp4 videos with quicktime and WMP but not this video

Download VLC Player.
Look up Shark007 Windows Codecs...It will allow you to play 99.99999% of any video formats around
sorry to resurrect a somewhat dead thread, but did this end up working? I have a video i need to get off and I've run into the same problem...i tried installing shark 007 codecs (win7) but it gave me the same error. i havent restarted yet, but i'll post back if it works after that...

It works on my HTC Advantage and Palm Treo 700P but not on my Dopod 818 Pro
. You click the watch video link, it will bring up windows media player for the clips.
The disadvantage is that YouTube Mobile doesn't have all contents converted yet.
lol..i was just gonna start the same thread...lucky u hve posted first
I have tested the site on my hermes and found the site is functioning properly without any problem. The video is loaded onto the HTC Streaming Software.
Will it work through WIFI?
When I try to open a video it says 'media file type not supported' .. anyone know whats up with that?
In my case after I have pressed the link to play the movie, the windows media player is activated, tries to connect for a few seconds but then a message box pops up "Unspecified Error". My device is a imate Jasjam.
Regards
mine doesnt even go to windows media player.. it opens .. REALplayer?
mine is working fine over wifi.
when i press the link to play the videos then HTC Streaming Media software appears and it plays the video fine. i think the files are played through the rtsp protocol.
Results on HTC-UNI (02EXEC)
Media player comes up with unspecified error, changed file associations in TCPMP (allow 3gp etc) error = RTSP protocol not supported! hope this helps peple to find a work around and yes i was using wifi as a connection)
mine doesnt open media player.. it opens REAL player... and says file not supported.. I dont get it
I also try to see why I cannot open link on my HTC Prophet. Maybe it needs at least WM5 to work?
It runs on my HTC Advantage with Wifi, ActiveSync, Bluetooth DUN to Sprint EV-DO, and T-Mobile Edge.
Funny thing is my Treo 700P works fine.
I will try my different HTC devices tonight to see if any of those is working with Youube Mobile.
unknown error (using activesync 4.5 on wm6). but that will get fixed. once its in google's hands its golden.
works on my trinity orange uk rom thru wifi. it uses pvplayer which i think is a version of realplayer/htc streaming media.

I am not sure about what "call wmp instead of streaming" means.
Do you mean you want WMP not to streaming? Which means save target link first instead of playing.
Or, get wmp to be the program to play video from YouTube?
YouTube Mobile uses .3gp format for its video instead of flash.
3gp is a simplified version of the MP4. (Which is supposed to be std. for 3G phones)
Basically, whatever program associated with .3gp will take it over when you click the "watch video" link.
I too get the "unspecified error" in WMP.
Viatorx, use TCPMP.
I also had the problem of it trying to open realplayer and not working. I did a hard reset and voila, it works through the streaming player now. I am slowly re=adding my apps and I'm starting to think it may be the Custel Cingular Apps program.... I hope not, as I like the programs. I'm using 3g's take on lvsw rom..... fyi
HI
If i am not mistaken basically you need to load an appropriate media player that supports the YouTube streaming format and it will work. i believe that RSFTP is what u get on WMP10, so if the format coming out on YouTube is not RSFTP u not gonna b able to play it off WMP!
HTC Streaming Media
The mobile YouTube video site { works best with the HTC streaming media player v2.10 build 1025.621} It comes on most wm6 rom. I have this player on my MDA, running Core 2.0, it works great and connects fast after you get to http//m.youtube.com using wifi.
Youtube launches the Stream Player and the player gives the error message "unable to find network" after a few seconds. Any suggestions?

Thank you for trying to help. I used all the different versions of Quicktime I could find. I also tried other movie players (WMP etc.) I tried many different things and the end result is that the movie plays on the phone (Windows Media Player) but I can't find a way to play it on my computer.
Sincerely, Geir

well I found a workaround yesterday which is too long for me to be doing constantly but I uploaded the video to youtube and then used one of those youtube online converters to turn the movie in to a regular mp4 (the mp4 that gets made by the phone is strange and won't play)
All you have to do to play the video with QuickTime is to rename the file, replacing the .mp4 suffix with .3gp.

Glad to help. I just Googled for the message QT gives on the .mp4 file, and I found an Apple forum somewhere that discussed the problem and gave the solution.

Whenever I use gmote I can play back video on my pc, but not on my phone. The message I keep getting says "gmote is unable to find an android application to play this file type". Is this a limitation of gmote or do I need a media player with codecs for the phone? If I do need a media player what should I be using?
Thanks ahead of time
Test with .mp4 videos.
I am having the same issue on my Fascinate. Keep trying different conversions, but can't get any videos to play.
I uninstalled vplayer app now im unable to play videos on my phone through gmote. Ive installed qqplayer and meridian player but I get the "unable to find an android application to play this file type" can anyone help?
What video types are they?
its all file types. Ive tried reinstalling gmote. what would b e the best media player to install to use with gmote??
i dont think this has been addressed in another post but if it has im sorry. anyways the solution for this problem for my was installing mx player + codecs from the market. gmote streams to my phone fine now.
My thunderbolt will not play my converted mp4 h.264 files. My other android devices play them fine. I have tried several different conversions with different settings. Even tried mkv. I am using dvdfab which is the best. I have tried several players - rockplayer, arcmedia, and still nothing. Anyone having an issue like this?
what kind of error message are you getting?
try the rockplayer app from the market
Try MoboPlayer, seems to play everything https://market.android.com/details?id=com.clov4r.android.nil
No error message
No error message just blank screen, temporary freeze up, and some kick backs to main menu. Sounds like it is just me. Wonder if something is wrong with DVDfab or my phone.
I'm having the same troubles. I have older video ripped via an older version of DVDFab that work and play perfectly but since I updated to v8.0.8.5 I cannot get any of the new videos to play. I'm currently working with DVDFab support on figuring out what's going on and I'll be happy to relay any info I get on a solution.
Funny that you say that
I just tried to play my older converted DVDFab and they also worked - same format. The new ones do not work. They actually freeze up my phone or at least bog it down to the point where I have to reboot. Please let me know when you hear something on this. I am in the process of trying to convert with a different converter to make sure it is a dvdfab issue.
Download Handbrake. That will let you do a batch convert of the files that won't play. Both the AppleTV and iPhone presets work well with the TBolt. Handbrake will also convert DVD files ripped to the computer, so you can still use DVDFab to rip, but convert with Handbrake till DVDFab gets their issues sorted out.

I got the new rips working... I feel kinda dumb but I guess the new version defaults the audio to 5.1 and the stock player for Android as well as many of the other players will not accept a 5.1 audio file. All you need to do is set the audio to stereo. Here's a screen shot of the settings I use. I use a custom size of 800x480 and this can be selected by clicking on the button labeled video effect settings.
Im having that same problem my rock player doesnt work
There was literally a thread about this on the same page and in the same forum discussed today.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1025491
I have a IRREPLACEABLE video on my phone that plays fine. When I try to play it on my PC or when I transfer it however, all I get is audio.
I've done a reboot. All other videos work fine except this one and 3 others I shot recently. Same situation. On the phone = fine, PC...no bueno.
I have a codec pack installed, it is too large to attach via email, and astro tells me the 3GP was not found...but it's there...and it plays.......HELP!
Try a second pc?
Sounds like a codec issue to me.
this is not a signature I type it in every time it may be sent from my computer or my phone.
Didn't work on another computer either. I copied it to my harddrive, played it with 3 video players, and finally loaded it in video editing software. It saw the video.
I have the K-lite MEGA pack installed though. Weird.

vlc player on windows usually plays whatever i throw at it
Handbrake is free and will convert the 3GP file to a format that is more pc-friendly. HTH

Yeah... I finally got it in my video editing software. As I stated above, I already have the k-lite pack installed. It was weird...wouldn't work on VLC, WMP, or Quicktime...just audio.... gave some weird error.
Even on the phone, these videos won't create a thumbnail in the gallery or astro, but all play just fine. STRANGE!
