Yesterday, I was attending the UEFA Europa League Final and I was filming the starting ceremony.
I didn't know that I had a merely 1.6 GB left on my SD card. When the memory was full, the camera app did the unthinkable (FC). I entered a file manager and saw that the video is there under the name temp_video but without any extension.
Can you please tell me how can I recover it?

Nope, that doesn't do the trick cause, you know, the file is not finalized one way or the other by the phone itself.I guess I should edit the file somehow on the PC.

I have the same problem
I have a very important video (birth of my son) in this situation aswell. so if anybody success on this issue please let us know.
I haven't managed to open or recover them somehow. I guess there are no viable solutions for this issue.
Sorry.
PS: Still, keep the files. Who knows, maybe we will find out someday.

Thanks for reply i'll keep the files, but there must be a solution (
Various free video conversion software should do the trick. I've had success using the conversion feature of VideoLAN's VLC media player to 'convert' to .mp4; the video is full size, with sound, and at the original quality. The VLC media player could even play the temp_video file as-is, without any conversion...the conversion was only necessary to play with other players/to burn to DVD.
Hope this helps.
Found a utility that does the trick
I had the same problem. Some people claimed vlc would work, but it didn't. So I tried out this tool: http://grauonline.de/cmsimple2_6/en/?Solutions:HD_Video_Repair_Utility
It worked when I gave it a reference video (video shot from the same phone), but it only saves half the video unless you buy the license. After watching the video, I determined that I don't need the second half for the price they ask (29 euros), but at least I got half. If the author would only charge say $5 per video I'd probably buy it. In lieu of that, I simply joined the file together to create one file twice as long and re-ran it. In windows "copy /b file + file combined_file". This worked as a stop-gap, but the sound got really off at the midpoint. So, if you really want it to work right, I'd suggest paying for the license.
Credit to this person for pointing me to the tool.

You can try to repair it with the vid repair tool on android playstore it did the trick for me. I recovered full video. It was there with the name temp_video now i can play it well. Hope this works. :angel:
Hey i just found a quick solution to that problem which worked on me ! first you need media player classic ... open it and just drag your temp_video and it should be working fine

DId you bought programm and got better result with or without added longer file? Cause for me full version got and maybe thats all there is to get- all ok but video or sound is going at different speed. So just readjust that in video edit programm. Also in options can select to divide files in seperate audio and video files and then combine changing speed only for video in video editing sofware.
Recovering the temp_video file
Dear all,
i know it is odd to response to a "long time ago" post, but i wish that this may help people who are facing similar problem.
I have just tried the app from the Google Play, MP4fix.
It requires the corrupted file, temp_video and a well-recorded file, i am not sure is it better to be a similar length for the well-recorded?
After processing, you can freely play the recovered file or paid to save the file.
Which means you can use another phone to Rexxxx while the phone is pXXXing the video.
However, it is better to pay for the developers who make this app.
VLC Works as of This Writing
I had this problem. Went looking for a solution and found this article mentioning VLC. On a Galaxy Tab A (purchased new in late 2017), VLC was indeed able to play it as-is. Renaming the file with the mp4 extension (no conversion) meant that even the Samsung Video Player could play it. Maybe Samsung improved the readability of the temp files.
I got the fix
I know this is 7 years later, but I just got this problem and got an actual fix for it. Go to your file manager and click on DCIM then on Camera then scroll all the way to the bottom and press and hold on your temp video and press share. Share it to your google drive and then once its on your Google drive, you can download it if you want to back on your device. Worked on my s7, hope it works for yall
try VLC app it opened my temp videos

I read a comment that someone posted (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4&postcount=12) about an error that they were having with videos recorded on the Kasier when played with QuickTime on a PC:
"-Error -2401: an invalid sample description was found in the movie."
I have an at&t Kaiser running the stock ROM and was wondering if anyone ever found a fix for the error. I have a bunch of videos I recorded and they all are giving this error when I try to play them with QuickTime on my PC. VLC Media Player will play the videos, but I get no sound.
All input is appreciated. Thanks.
Bump # 1...
Bump # 2...
have to rename...
in case you didn't find an answer yet, I read this on the at&t forums. Annoying, but it works:
I found an answer to this issue on the Quicktime Forums.
Simply change the extension from *.mp4 to *.3gp and all will work just peachy.

As long as you can see the extension on computer you can do it "normally known extensions are hidden but can be changed in folder options" or on phone
ok, but that doesnt tell me "how" it just tells me that it can be done. could you please explain to me how to do this? I ahve put all the files i want to change into a folder on my computer. XPpro
by the way, did i mention Apple SUX?! just checkin in case i didnt.
Well all it says is to change the extension:
Eg: moviename.mp4 to moviename.3gp
If you can't see the extension:
Control Panel\Folder Options\View"it's a tab" and untick hide extensions for known files.
so after you change the extention it will just play? no conversion at all? hmm i will give it a shot.
I found a real cool suite of programs to help out with this kind of stuff and much more. thought it might be helpfull to yourself and others.

that is a player and it doesn't recognize 3gp files
thanx tho for the help
i used mastersplitter to split the corrupted 19mb 3gp and a similar working 20mb 3gp into 50Kb splices.
spliced most of corrupted video in the middle of the working one and joined the splices back together.
the a/v are kind of jumbled.
has anyone tried this?
should i try different size splices or what?
any input would be greatly appreciated.
anyone know ???
VLC does play 3GP, if it wont play then I think you're done for :-(
I'm very curious on this subject to, I have 50mb of Killswitch Engage in Chicago I would really love to have but cant open in anything.
Hi guys,
I was trying to upload some videos I made with my HTC HD7, but failed to do so.
I do have a Zune software, and managed easily to transfer videos to my computer, but mp4 file I get is one I can't open or upload to Youtube(unable to convert, it says, after it hits 100%).
How did you do it? Directly from your phone, or what? Which application do I need?
Thanks in advance, cheers!
So, no one uploades videos on youtube?
Whatever.
hmmm i haven't tried moving from HD7 to computer but it should be the same for videos which i think you have down, but maybe it's a different format that youtube doesn't eccept like some audio codecs or something?
try vlc player to play them onthe computer, if that plays it, then the file is fine.
if it doesn't but on the phone it does, something is going on when transfering.
after that i guess you might need to convert the file to something youtube is friendly with the like i think H264 or something like that i can't remember.
sorry if i cant help too much
Thanks for your reply, tombrighteyes.
I tried a lot of these things.
VLC couldn't open it. Then I tried downloading different codecs - no success.
I also tried importing it to Movie Maker and Sony Vegas Pro 10. No can do
Converting - can't recognize that file. Like it's some kind of alien mp4, idk..
Really annoying.
am I missing something also about uploading them. I could upload them direct from my TP2 by attaching them to an email. now I can't find the attach menu item for nothing but pictures. like we don't send files from our phones. stupid microsoft.

yeah at the moment now video sending via e-mail or MMS which sucks but what can we do for now. just hope that with an update like mango or something we can have that feature.
let me try and get a video from my phone to test if its just yours or mine is fine and will reply back.
(Edit) just tried with a small recording of about a minute. worked fine :/ which is wierd for you..
i have the HD7 T-mobile US ver 7392 recorded at 720p highest
did you try recording different in different settings? or maybe length times? try recording something quick and see if that works. maybe something hada hiccup when recording for so long.
im not sure, oh and btw running Win 7 64-bit and it ran under my windows media player just fine. im not sure if it's default but i do allways install the K-lite codec pack found around the web that makes most video files on windows media player if anything else i use VLC.
try these things, you never know.
Thanks a bunch, tombrighteyes!
I did just that. Tried it on my laptop which has 64 bit Windows 7, and installed K Lite Codec Pack, and it worked! On my dekstop, though, the same technique didn't work, but that doesn't matter since I can upload everything now
Cheers!

If anything else i can do just ask
Any input on this issue I'm experiencing on my Bionic would be appreciated.
Get error stating "File cannot be displayed or played" when trying to play large video file
File is in MP4 format that will play on my PS3
File that won't play is 2.2GB but a 380MB file of same format does play
Phone is not rooted
I tried rebooting the phone by pulling the battery and that didn't help
Also tried MoBo player and Vplayer from android market and neither of those worked either
I'm an android noob (this my first, had it two days)
Not sure if the problem is the phone, the OS, the manufacturer, or just me so any input or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
Umm... could be because the file is 2.2 gigs...

I have a friend with a Thunderbolt that is fairly certain he was able to play files of that size (he doesn't currently have any on it to confirm) so I wasn't under the impress this was an OS limitation.
I'd really like to try and figure out where the limitation lies so I can find a way around it or consider trading in the phone. If it's the OS there is probably nothing I can do but if it's only the Bionic then I may still have some options.
After a lot more searching I finally found that the Android OS doesn't support video files over 2GB. That really should be better documented as it took me a long time to find any place that explicitly stated that. I tried a 1.85GB file and sure enough it worked with out any problems.
I have a couple Lumia Windows Phones 8.1 that I enjoy using strictly as an MP3/Music Player. The reason I like LumiaWP is that XboxMusic is the only App I know of which can shuffle thousands of songs without repeating any. I wish I could play videos through XboxMusic too!
currently I am stuck with using the XboxVideo App for playing videos, but the problem is that XboxVideo will only play 1 video at a time (i cant find any auto-play). Everytime a video ends the phone goes back to the menu instead of continuously playing the next video, forcing me to manually select play for each video. This is really annoying and defeats the purpose of why I like this phone
A few months ago I tried installing VLCplayer on my LumiaWP but it didnt work, and now I heard the Windows Store has been shutdown Im trying to figure out how to install the App manually? I found a guide to install XAP files, but it seems that guide no longer works without the actual Store... does anybody know how I can install VLC on my LumiaWP? or any other video player? I tried downloading the VLC .APPX files (i think?) and put them on my SD card but it doesnt seem like anything happened, seems like most sites link to the windows store which obviously doesnt work
Please tell me there is a way to setup a Video Playlist without having to buy a new phone? :angel:
Thanks!
You can install appx directly from device. You just put file in storage and tap "Install" at File Explorer.

I feel like such a newb for not having these things installed before I cant believe my win8 phone doesnt have a file manager lolz
I had an older Lumia Windows Phone for many years and I purchased 2 newer last year, and I unfortunately didnt hear about the Windows Store shutting down until just recently!
I really like these as media players, and luckily one of my newer ones works with Win10, but I still want to try and setup the other one I have (which is still on 8.1) I dont think I can update my older one to Win10, but thats not a big deal if I can find another way to install the File Explorer
Will setting up interlope help me get files installed? I never hacked a phone before, but I'm certainly going to try! Hopefully I can find the time to read more into the instructions later this weekend :good: or... is it not possible without the file app? its a lumia925
Thanks
