Web mp4 files will be played as streaming and open in video mode. Just like flash. But it cannot be downloaded.

Thanks!

Video format unsupported

Using the yahoomail app,i tried to open 3 videos that a friend sent to me, they are all wmv, less than 2mb, but I can only view 1 of them, the other 2 it say video file unsupported, is it the phone or the way the video was compressed? I'm pretty sure I can watch them fine on the computer, anyone has any problem playing video files with the stock player?

Supported video formats for T-Mobile G2x are DivX/Xvid/MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV.
And supported audio formats for T-Mobile G2x are MP3/WAV/WMA/eAAC+.
So it's not clear why your WMV files didn't work, probably they're encoded strangely. I play MP4 and M4V videos no problem.
Try to download it on the computer then transfer it to the phone, or try to re download it with yahoo app on wifi.

Have you registered your device at divX.com?
If not go into settings/about phone/and you will see VOD divX registration.

Download doubleTwist Player from the Market. There is NOTHING I couldn't play using that app.
Edit:
I didn't have time to elaborate in my first reply. I'm thinking your issue may be your video player (I'm assuming you are using the stock one). I noticed that sometimes the stock video player doesn't play all formats. I too had problems before with some YouTube and porn videos lol. I haven't had a single issue playing videos using doubleTwist.
@pak
I'm getting the same error as you now on YouTube through my browser.
It must have something to do with the YouTube site. I was just watching YouTube videos through my phones browser (Dolphin HD) the other day.
All other video sites are working properly on my phone.
BTW. I'm on Valhalla Black and have been for some time. Pardon the two post for one reply. Is raining and I Swyped submit lol.

Actually playing videos through stock player isnt an issue. Issue arises when i try streaming youtube on stock or dolphin browser .

I also have this issue playing YouTube movies through dolphin mini browser. My installed video player is MX player. Playing the same YouTube videos through the YouTube app is working just fine.
BTW, I debloated my stock video player, but that was long time ago and this issue is relatively new.

I found a workaround -
1. In the browser Youtube page, once you chose the desired video,
scroll down and choose "Desktop".
2. In the opened list choose the YouTube app.
Youtube app will open and play.

YouTube Popup Play

Is there anything I could get/flash to allow popup play to work with YouTube? I know about the desktop work around but it would be very useful to get it to work with YouTube or even other streaming videos.
