[Q] Playing Mp4 video files on Samsung Galaxy S

Hi,
I have downloaded a movie in MP4 format and while playing it on my Samsung Galaxy S, i can see the picture but there is no sound coming...
Picture quality for the file is very good no problem in it..only thing is sound is missing.
Is it some problem? Or some settings needs to be changed?
Seniors..plz advise.
Regards,
Anoop.

Remember that media volume is independent of ringer volume, so make sure you turn the media volume up.
I have run into a bug a few times where the sound on an mp4 won't play, but then I just exit the video player and try again and it works.
Otherwise, it may be the sound codec of the mp4 isn't compatible, although that is unlikely as the Galaxy S seems to support every major codec under the sun. Does the sound work on your computer?
I'm also unsure of if the Galaxy S is able to playback 5.1 encoded sound, so perhaps the sound is beyond the Galaxy S's playback capabilities. That would probably only be the case with a huge bitrate however.
Finally, you can always just encode the video into another format using a tool such as the excellent free Handbrake program (for Windows and OSX). Settings that work flawlessly for me are H264 .MP4 at 800 x 480 (the screen resolution of the Galaxy S, can crop videos if needed) with bitrates up to 2000kbps and AAC audio at 128kpbs, 48000hz stereo.

How the f.. a 1ghz Humingbird can beat a 1.6Ghz Intel atom??
I had the same problem with some 720p Mp4 video,
I also tried Rockplayer, but the playback freezes badly,
with the default Galaxy video player HD video is smooth, while on my intel atom netbook, HD is unwatchable..

Because the Hummingbird supports GPU hardware accelleration for H.264? ;D
Just grabbed myself a Galaxy S and im in the prosess of flashing official Froyo btw.
Best phone evah! (With lagfix)

Nice update now in Froyo,
I see my MP4 HD movies now have audio,
Well at least they did smth right..

The fact is Samsung can play most of MP4 files. Several special MP4 videos will not be played as MP4 is a container video format which may encode with a variety of codecs like H.264, MPEG-4, Xivd, DivX, MPEG-4 ASP etc. or with subtitles or multi-channels audio tracks. As MPEG-4 AVC H.264 codec, support is limited to the required specifications. If your MP4 files are using audio and video codec that Samsung Galaxy cannot support or your MP4 files cannot meet the supported specifications of audio and video codec, your Samsung Galaxy phones or tablets will fail to play MP4 files. Even you download different Android video player, they still fails to play.
In order to successfully play MP4 on Samsung Galaxy, a better solution is to convert MP4 to Samsung Galaxy supported MPEG-4 Video with require specifications. Google search TechiSky How to Play MP4 on Samsung Galaxy you will find the answer.

Try MX-Player

Samsung Galaxy S Can Play 5.1 Audio Files

I wanted to share something about our beloved SGS media capability. Ever disappointed with the inability to play a 5.1 mkv file directly on SGS? Need to encode it to Mp4? Well....no more, what you need to do is just use mkvmerge, add the mkv file(

I don't get very good performance with this player when streaming from a network drive. Personally I prefer VPlayer (search on the market)

My Samsung Galaxy s2 Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audi files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded. I was able to play those using Dice player or rockplayer.
The official Samsung Site or other specification says this (This is from Wikipedia)
For audio it supports (FLAC, WAV, Vorbis, MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA, AMR-NB, AMR-WB, MID, AC3, XMF). For video formats and codecs it supports (MPEG-4, H.264, H.263, DivX HD/XviD, VC-1) and video formats (3GP (MPEG-4), WMV (ASF) as well as AVI (DivX)).
Issues:
1. Stock Media Player dosent play ac3 Audi files or Mp4 FIles with Ac3 audio decoded (Stock Media Player gives the Option 5.1 to be enabled but ac3 not playing)
2. Other players play it Under software decoding, But main Problem is 5.1 isn't working with Head phones
I googled and found some Users were able to Play it with stock media Players. Read something like "I dont have any problem playing those files, I just copy and play them"

Great app but it's no longer available on the market
Anyone know why the full version is now available and how to install the app having paid for it when it was available?
Free version shows
*** Currently can not purchase the full version because the checkout account is suspended.
This is the only video player I found that could playback 720p mkv through dnla on my Samsung Galaxy S. Here's my setup.
Samsung Galaxy S / Skifta / Diceplayer (Full purchased off the market in Nov 2011)
Server running Serviio dnla server
1080p stutters but I think that is down to the single core in the Galxy S. 720p smooooth.
I paid £3.35 in Nov for the full version of Diceplayer from the market but I now need to reistall since changing rom but can't download from the market?
I didn't backup my apps with titanium before doing the upgrade or I could restore app only.
Any ideas?
I have emailed the developer with my receipt but have received no reply.
cheers

for me RockPlayer Lite is the best deal out there. plays most of the formats.
no problems till now

[Q] 720p HD videos (about 2GB and up in size) plays in my tab but no audio....

hi again guys... another inquiry from me...
so i have 720P HD movies which are 2GB and up in file size that i put in my tab.. yes it plays smoothly but there is no audio... how could i fix it??? is there a file limit in size when it comes to videos in Galaxy Tab? i already tried different video player like mplayer, moboplayer, and soul video player but still i cant have it work,,,, what can i do for this???
by the way.. my tab is running on Overcome 2.0 beta2 by alterbridge...
i also experience this back when my tab is in overcome 1.x.x firmwares...
thank you guys...

It seems the audio part of the video is coded with a codec unavailable in galaxy tab. Maybe its ac3 (just guessing). Try another player once more (people claim vplayer plays everything ) or recode video file to another format.
