Hey! Just transfered a video as I did record with my TD, but I can't play it on windows? It neither says how long the video is, or can see it..
You'll need to download divx codecs.
http://www.free-codecs.com/Codec_Pack_All_In_1_download.htm
For some reason windows media player can't recognize video taken from a PPC by default. It also can't play a DVD by default. They make you install all this extra crap before you can get to the meat & potatoes.
How shaggy! But thx though ! ^_^
Download
Should the codecs be downloaded to my laptop or the diamond, are the codecs for the diamond or laptop?
Codecs are for your PC/laptop. Just download, install, & open the files you want to play.
since I am no friend of codec-pacs... would you be so kind and let us know exactly which of them is used?

Took some video at a club last night. It's saved on my device as an MP4.
Even though I have it set to record audio as well, I can't seem to get audio to play when I watch the video in windows media player.
Is it possible the audio was recorded, but I just don't have the correct program for it to play properly?
When I copy to my PC via activesync, what program can I use for an MP4 file? Winamp and windows media player will not play the file.
thanks, I realize these are kind of newb questions.
I use Nero Showtime ... for some reason, quicktime will not play these MP4 files ... they may be formated differently.
Thanks. Are there any freeware options for playing these videos?
I wonder if this is related to the video driver issue.
download Videolan or also called VLC. Its an excellent standalone program that does not require any codecs. Its free too.
On my Kaiser I took some movies. They were in .MP4 format. I copied the files to my PC and when trying to play them on the PC (by double-clicking on the file in the windows explorer) - I get this error message in a dialog box:
Title: Error
Text: Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie (VIDEO_011.MP4)
When I try to open the file in the latest updated version of Windows Media Player 11, I get an error message saying it cannot play this sort of file. I do have MP4 codecs on my PC as well.
Lastly, when I copy the files back onto my PPC and then open the camera application, I am still able to open and play the files with no problem on the Kaiser.... so there is nothing wrong with the files... so what the heck?!?! HALP!
try quicktime it does a good job with mp4 files
people been reporting mixed results getting mp4 codecs to play
in other players sometimes there were no audio somethings it dident work
at all
Perhaps you could try googling 'K Lite Media pack'. This is highly recommended by many, and it works great for me. It plays so many different file types, such as flv files (say if you downloaded a youtube video and wanted to play it straight away) and I'm pretty certain, MP4 files too. The player you play videos with is called 'Media Player Classic'.
yes, get k lite mega codec pack
Tilt MP4 Videos unviewable on PC - Vista Ultimate Upgrade results in...
I even upgraded to Windows Vista (via download) to try to get this to work. I figured waiting long enough after it first comes out (it's been one YEAR), they would have ironed out all the bugs. Also figured since Vista SP1 was about to come out I could stumble along with whatever my issues were until it was released in case I still had problems...
I am more gutsy than most to do things like this with my PC because I automated a backup of only files that have changed, the first time I turn on my PC each day, to an external drive which I can just grab and run with in case my home ever catches on fire, etc. Runs in the background and only takes about 10 minutes, that has saved my butt more than once...
I specified only upgrade rather than a fresh install, so none of my programs or data would be lost:
1. All my data was lost anyway !!!!! Thank goodness for the backups!
2. All my browser favorites were blown away !!!! Thank goodness for the backups!
3. Almost everything also worked except for several drivers that I had to go to the vendor's website to download an upgrade. Good thing I am not using any hardware from vendors that have gone out of business. (I had to replace an old leading-edge technology $2,000 flat panel monitor because of that once.)
4. Tilt MP4 Videos unviewable on PC !?!!? AARRRGGGGGGGGHHGGHGHGGGHHHHH!
I'll try the "K Lite Mega Codec Pac" but have a couple of questions in the next post -
- Kruse
K Lite Mega Codec Pac
What "K Lite Mega Codec Pac" do to your PC? Is it removeable? Does it overwrite other codecs you might have? Does it come with a program for managing your codec settings and what is in use vs. not in use, or what?
Let me know, I really want to try it but I will wait for your response/s...
i would advise against using k-lite codec pack, if you really want a good codec pack,try cccp.
however, if all you wanna do is just watch the mp4 files, i suggest that you just use vlc, linky
Why is cccp better?
Why is cccp better, and how do I removed the codecs which I prefer not to use?
well, cccp is technically not a codec pack......its a filter pack, and has quite a few endorsements, its definitely the way to go if u need to play multiple video formats. the problem with most codec packs is there's high chances of damaging ur system if you dont know what you are installing. you may end up having multiple codecs for one video format. most ppl would tell you to avoid using any codec pack because the problems it would cause, i used to think the same, until i discovered cccp, seriously excellent when it comes to mkv playback.
however, like i said, if you're worried so much about codecs being installed on your system, just go ahead and use vlc, its a standalone player with its own decoders, doesnt install any codecs to your system watsoever.
What is everyone using to play the video recordings they've made with their phones on their Windows machines?
The format is .mp4 and doesn't play nice on my box...
TW,
Everyone is using Google... seach for mp4 player and you'll find the answer.
However, I use VLC, which opens everything except for doors.
It seems odd that a phone that runs MS software can't play it's own recordings...?
Google, what's that?
I have the opposite problem. I can't replay video on my phone, but it plays fine on the PC.
To play stuff you need codecs. VLC doesn't need codecs. Just google codecs for your PC. I have K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (I think that's what it's called). I use WMP to play everything. It works better than VLC now. And as for the poster above, same thing except you need codecs for your phone. I suggest you download TCPMP. What file type are you trying to run?

so the phone that takes video in mp4 can't play it without another program?
cause I'm having the same problem.
I take video with my camera, can I watch the video on my phone after that?
nope. (I'll search the forums but it's just strange since WM6 was fine; I could take video and play it on my phone fine, I think, I can't remember anymore)
I find that if I rename them with a .3gp extension they play fine in quicktime and in WMP (after setting the association or using "open with"). The same files with the original .MP4 extension choke in both (different issues, but neither play them correctly).

they are already named .3gp, which may be the problem since my phone doesn't play .3gp files.
I can't change the extension to mp4 either.
not only that but i can't play them on my computer; this is crazy since my computer can play anything.
I just convert mine: http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php
works well and it's pretty quick. I usually move the video to my PC first but I bet I could upload it using Skyfire.

Ok. I recorded some video on my AT&T Tilt with a memory card. It plays fine on my phone. Well I want to get it on my computer. When I tried to, it was in the MP4 format. So I opened it with Quicktime and iTunes and it wouldn't play. It said there was an error. So I was gonna convert it. I tried to, but it gave me a warning saying that it would have no sound, so I didn't do that. Then I downloaded VLC Player and when I played the videos, they didn't have sound. I tried putting them in Windows Media Center, didn't work. I tried ActiveSync. Didn't work. There has to be some possible way to do this. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!
Same thing happens to me. Now I just record in the other format, QIF I believe. And that works fine.
THANKYOU!!!!!!!!!!
how did you even get "good" video playback?
how did you even get "good" video on the TILT? is it the change in file type that makes the video better in itself? where do you change it?
You can change to CIF by selecting it from the Capture Settings menu (hit menu when the camera is running) under Resolution. The capture format can be changed from MPEG-4 to H.263 if you go to Advanced > Capture Format.
Recording in a well-lit environment helps. I'm not usually affected by placebo, but I and a few other users have reported increased camera performance after installing the latest test drivers for the Kaiser from htcclassaction.org. It DID seem that the framerate was higher. I can't rule out the possibility that updating to windows mobile 6.1 may have made a difference, but I know I don't keep apps running in the background and the comparison whilst not scientific would be pretty fair.
What can be used to view H.263 on the home pc? Will media player play it? And is there a good reason why it just doesn't record to .wmv or regular old mpeg? As you can tell I am a moron when it comes to video.
VLC will read it

QuickTime will play H.263 encoded files.
The Tilt does not use WMV or MPEG because they do not have formats optimized for mobile devices, so the files end up being huge.
Thanks, that makes sense!
my mp4 videos run fine on wm player! try downloading the vista or xp codec pack which is available on most torrent sites
I know its old but anyway...I record video w/ my kaiser, bluetooth the video over to my laptop, convert with WM convert, open w/ movie maker, edit then post. Sooooooooo easy and no cables required!
You're all going through waaaay to much by using converters & what not. When recording in mpeg4 format just rename the files to ".3gp" after you transfer them to your computer and they will play regularly through quicktime with sound & everything intact.
download K lite codec pack: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/K_lite_codec_pack.htm
it will allow windows media player to play ANYTHING, throw and file at it and it will play
VLC Works for me
VLC works for me, try it

Use a converter to be able to edit the video in windows movie maker, it takes like 10 seconds to convert a MPEG4 to WMV. (i've got the codec pack but in order to edit the video you need to convert it.)
Hello everyone,
when i transfer videos that i've recorded from my diamond to my computer, there is no sound in the video, is it normal?
Thanks for your answers.
have you installed all codecs for your computer?
Like kazaa-codec pack?
Check in the camera settings if you have: Record with audio on or off.
@ riel
i haven't yet installed the kazaa codec pack, i've just tried to play the video from VLC and Windows media player.
@sergio pc
when i play the video on my Diamond its ok, there is sound. it's only when i play the video on my computer that there's no audio.
the video format is not compatible by default with desktop windows media player and hasnt been for years on HTC devices - a real pain. One of my early devices allowed me to choose to record in AVI which was great.
You can try selecting the capture format to H.263 because I think from memory it is more compatible but I think the quality is worse.
I did notice when nosing around in the registry of my Diamond that there was some refernce to AVI in the camera settings. I started a thread on it to see if we could get AVI enabled but no one seemed that bothered which I thought was strange.
Sorry forgot to say that they do play in Quick Time ok which is bl**dy frustrating as I hate Quick Time (and iTunes!!!)
forget that - I cant seem to get them to play in Quick Time anymore.
Try using http://www.mediaconverter.org/ or an offline tool like Xilisoft

you are off topic... you dont have any problem related with your Diamond but with your PC media player....
try to google first .... like "k-lite player"
Good luck and enjoy you Diamond !!!
Here's an article on how to use videos taken from your Diamond - both adding codecs on your PC and converting the media to an avi file (from PC or on your phone itself): http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=981

I got a feeling noone got it right; Its K-lite codec pack. It includes media player classic and works.

Just changed the extension to 3gp and all is fine.
