I have tried other apps ok the market and still no luck.
My micro sd card is legit from a major computer store.
I have not tried to plug my device in with the memory card yet and tried to transfer the movies this way? As i have been using the micro sd to sd card adapter and using the sd card port on my computer, could this make a differance?
Thanks
karan

no, it couldn`t.
if you still can`t play those files with diff. video players that means your problem may not be from sd card. Did u convert those files before transfering them to your sd.card ?
try downloading this file. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PZTX5U36 and test it .
can you play it ? try rock player universal

i have found the solution! =)
i found that when i transfer the files to the micro sd card through the sd card adapter, the files came corrput
however if i transfered the files with the micro sd card in the phone itself, the movies played
thanks for your help

SD card not reading movies all the time

Sometimes I copy (.wmv) movies to the external SD card and the video player says unsupported format. But when i copy the same movie to the internal SD it plays fine. Strange. Maybe I should let the phone reformat the card but at this point there's all kinds of files on there and I find the file system confusing. I see everything using ROOT EXPLORER but even then its confusing as to what is residing in the phone or on the card. It could be a problem with the video player itself. Can anyone recommend another player to use?
I have rooted my phone, backed up with Titanium, etc. When I install the official froyo (hopefully to be released soon) will it revert the phone back to "stock" Will i have to re-root again? Is there anything else i will have to do over?
thanks
What brand sd card and where did you buy it?
File system is pretty simple. /sd is internal storage. /sd/sdcard is external.

I dont really know the make. It says MICRO SD on it, 16GB, bought it off ebay, it worked fine in my previous phone I think. Looking at the card thru the file manager I see a whole bunch of directories, not sure how they got there. I don't think its the card itself, I think it has something to do with the OS or maybe the compression rate of the video or something else. I have a lower resolution .wmv movie on the card and that one plays fine....weird...but the movies that play were done a long time ago formatted for my Dash 3G. I am converting these movies off the origional DVD. I tried using another player and it did the same thing. The .wmv movies are about 1 gig and they look beautiful so putting them on the card makes sense. I'll try playing with the conversion settings and other file formats...I'll probably figure it out.
Thanks for the info on the file system.
continue looking
The videos app says that it will enable you to play H.264 and 3gp movies from your SD card but I have tried that and so far no luck. So there must be other specific conversion settings it requires to work.

Your original post says that sometimes the same vids play from internal memory but not from the card. This points to the card as the culprit - not the format of the video.
Ebay purchased cards are usually fakes or poor quality and are notorious for unpredictable results.
video never play
A couple of the older ones I have do read off the SD card, but none of my recently converted videos do. I am still play around with different conversions. I will find one that works, eventually.
now working
I have to admit you were right.....I got a message from the phone saying my SD card was corrupted..so i let the phone format it. The phone is now running much better and i can run movies off the card now with Arc Media and VPlayer. I think Vplayer is now my favorite with its on screen gesture controls and luminecense setting. Copying the big movies from my computer to the card is still a little iffy. While copying a 1 gig movie to the card for instance, the progress bar on the computer will appear to hang, but if i give it enough time then disconnect and reconnect to the computer I discover the movie actually copied to the card. Sometimes I have to reboot the phone in order to reconnect. It does better with smaller files. Maybe 2.2 will fix this issue....thanks again.;

[Q] SD card issiu + should I partition my SD card ?

Hi guys,
this might be really noobish question, but I hear a lot people talking about partitioning their SD card and I dont really understand what that means.. I tried to search, but all I could find were a ways of doing it rather than what it really is.
Now the issue: I have SGS with 32gb nokia class 2 SD card. So far I had only one issue with the card and that is when I put video files on it (no matter what format mp4, avi, mvk and so on) there is always a point in the video, when the it shows a lagy squared-like screen and skips like 1-3 minutes of video which really bugs me :/. Also, sometimes when I put flv files on it, they just stop after playing for some time (lag) and only audio goes on with video stuck.
I never had the problem when putting the files on internal SD card, they just play along..
as for the partitioning, should I partition ? Some simple definiton would be helpfull What are the benefits/risk of it ?
thank you very much !!!
the video lag and the skipping maybe do to the fact that your sd card is class2 or it's ajust an older model don't know for sure i have a 16 gb class6 sdhc and i'm playing 720p video file downloaded from youtube and mkv and other stuff without any lag borrow from one of your friend an sd card and see if there's any difference as for partitioning your card i don't see the point in doing that

well I dont think that would be the case, because it handles saving 720p video from camera and than playing it without problems. The issue is not lagging, its more like skipping the part of a movie or, when playing flash not finishing the movie...
do you think I should try to return the card ? Because I really cant use a card for movies and thats pretty much everything beside music I have it for..

Lumia 521 SD Card Boot Problem

So I have a 64gb card in my phone, everything works fine on it except on boot it says there a problem when there really is none. All my music and files open just fine. Another issue I have is that the USB transfer rate is slower than 1.1 so any time I want to put new music on in have to take the card out and use an SD card reader to put new files onto it. Often times when transfer via a cable to the phone it just locks up mid transfer. How do i fix both the SD card problem boot message and the horrible transfer rates and lockup via USB?

Same issue on lumia 820.
Its possible that the master file table is dirty and the MicroSD needs formatted, but I'd use the Panasonic SD card formatter (I think that's what its called anyways), as SD cards require special care compared to hard drives.
