I get a lot of video clips sent to me through Whatsapp ( a messenger type application). Since a lot of my friends are on iPhones, the video files are in .mov format.
I can easily see and play these files if I go to them directly in the storage folder of the Whatsapp application. HOWEVER the video files do not show up in the video tab of the HTC Gallery app, ie it doesnt recognise .mov as video files.
Any solution, eg to register .mov as a gllery video file, etc or anything else?
Thanks!
rename them to *.mp4 then they play in Gallery
.mo. files

Renaming works to show in your gallery but there is no audio unless I play it thru another app. And when I try to edit it says format not supported

Hi guys I couldn't find a HTC Album working that plays videos. I've searched but no luck. Can somebody help me please? I'm on a tytn II
Thanks I appreciate it!
As far as I know, the HTC Albums just don't browse and play video files and I currently can't find any picture viewing programs that do so too. Maybe you can try posting in the Dev&Hack section requesting a picture viewer program that also browse video files, that may be interesting.
TCPMP can play picture files and Video files and audio files, can play internet radio, can browse pictures, aduio and video over home wifi network as well (if you have set it up). Give it a try. I have it set up as my default picture viewer. I also use S2V to view pictures (love it) but it does not show video's. TCPMP opens fast to view video's and pictures and displays really nicely with some viewing options as well.
htc album DOES play videos
look for htc album 2.0
its extracted from devices like opal,jade etc
I absolutely hate that the phone saves video's in ".mp4" and have some weird sort of "amr" audio codec involved? I can view these video's just fine on the phone, but if I pull them over to my computer, they play without sound. I have tried VLC, Quicktime, WMP, etc.
Now, I can rename the file extension to ".3gp" and it plays without any problems in Quicktime. But if I try to play it in VLC with the pre-defined extension, it says it doesn't have "SAMR" support, and only plays the video. I Googled it, found out all the reasons why (proprietary), and why it wouldn't ever be supported in VLC.
But is there any way to change the format the phone saves it in? It would be nice to able to send these video's from your phone to a friend and know that they could view it just fine.
I looked in Settings under the Camera....and nada.
Thanks!

From the video camera screen, go to Menu/Advanced/Capture Format and change it to H.263.
You are correct about changing the .mp4 extension to .3gp to allow it to play in Quicktime. But you should be able to play H.263 files on your computer without any changes.
I left mine in .mp4 and just downloaded the Klite codec pack, which lets you play .mp4 videos in classic win media on your laptop/PC. Works well on my laptop. Just make sure you choose custom install and deselect all the video options except for mp4 format. Otherwise it will conflict with other existing codecs such as divx.

Absolutely agree with Klite. All the time I install Windows,I don't use anything else than Klite codec pack in combination with very old(but really rocking) player ViPlay on all PCs/Ntbs in my surround. I can play almost everything without any problem.

Thank you, that worked. I had to actually make sure I was in video mode FIRST, then go to settings and the option to change the format was there.
Thank you!
And to others, I'm not complaining about not being able to watch the video on my own soo much...but I'd like to know that I could send the video out to friends and have a higher success rate in them being able to play the video.

Hiya guys,
I've got two folders on my SD Card, called "Films" and "TV Shows". I'd like to keep each of the videos from each folders separate. Is there a video playing app that will let me do this?
The app I'm using at the moment is called Video Player, it just displays all of the videos in one big list - not telling me which folder each of the videos is in. I've tried a few more (Realplayer, doubleTwist), but they don't do it !
Ta very much,
Alex
hey I found a media player that maybe will work for you it calls rockplayer.

Cheers, I'll look into it now! If that fails I've found one called Act 1 Video Player !
Hi guys,
just got a HP touchpad. now is there a video player on here? and if its there what format do they have to be in to view it. have tried a couple of different ones and cant get them up.
Is there a player app i can download onto it at all ?
thanks
there is a photos & videos app built in, but it's pretty poor for video.
you need to add your video files to the root of the built in storage (the tablet installs onto your computer as a removable drive).
i still haven't got my head around the video file support just yet, but it doesn't seem to handle .avi, divx, xvid etc.
mp4 seems to be the main format.
there are a couple of apps for streaming videos from a upnp media server, but nothing free as far as i can tell.
kalemsoft media player seems to be the best of these as it lets you load video files from the local storage on your tablet as well as browse for remote stuff.
i have successfully played an avi file using this app.
i've only tried the demo version so far which requires internet access in order to assess the trial period.
i don't particularly want to purchase the paid version just yet.
I used Handbrake and followed the instructions here: http://forums.precentral.net/hp-tou...n-resources/287212-handbrake-preset-dvds.html I just tried a short 45 minute kids dvd to see if it would work okay. It was about a 400mb file. Placed it in a folder called Videos on the root of the usb partition and it shows up fine in the Photos and Videos app.

see i tried doing that as well. creating a folder called videos on the root and it wasn't detected.
only when i added the file direct to root could i access it.
are directory names case sensitive?
a video player that allows you to browse and/or add directories would be much better.
EDIT: looks like i had a folder called video. changed it to videos and it shows up.
strangely enough kalemsoft creates a folder recordings. when i added a video file to that, it also showed up.
I have put my videos in the download folder and they show up in the stock player fine. Also converted DIVX avi files to MP4 with Handbrake. Used the ipad HD settings for nice quality.
Kalemsoft Media Player wil read a lot of video formats , you can find it on app catalog.
The kalemsof that i downloaded isnt displaying in full screen and sometimes will hang on my TP. Guess its still not compatible to TP yet?

Thanx for the tip about Handbrake, nunja. I'll try it for conversions. I concur with the settings...
I'm on a Pre 2 and have no problems with mp4 playing (once you get the settings down it becomes rote). For my phone I use iPod settings...
For ripping from DVD I use DVDFab3 - I know there are way newer versions out there and I tried them but always go back to version 3. I just like the UI and it has never let me down. Point it at a DVD or ISO and under Mobile click Generic. You can configure it for generic mp4 and get a resolution up to 848x480 which should be alright on the TP screen. Your settings like Resolution, bitrate, volume level, subpicture - can all be saved as a profile.
DVDFab3 in a .rar file. Just extract and it will run out of the folder without install...
Hello all. I bought the S6 for my daughter, and she is having an issue with getting a video uploaded to Instagram. The video in question was taken by my wife and uploaded to her Google Drive. At this point, my daughter downloaded the video from Google Drive, and then, she tried to share it. She keeps getting a message that it can't be imported and that there is a problem processing the video. If I use My Files, I can find and directly play the video using Google Photos to do so (Google Photos is the only option provided to me to play the video). However, it's not found by the Gallery and Video apps. My wife sent her the video via Instagram (private message?) also, and that video works and shows up just fine. I will note that the video she sent via Instagram is an edited .mp4 file and the original from Google Drive is a .mov file. Can Samsung Video and Gallery apps not read .mov files? If they can, does anyone know why they won't show up on the phone or be uploaded via Instagram? Thanks in advance.
