Android App Recorded Damaged Videos - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Yesterday I tried the Background Video Recorder 2 app (ex Secret Video Recorder 2 but Google removed it from the store, they are same) which resulted in a huuuugeee frustration. My phone is Sony Xperia Z3 Compact. I stored the videos on an external SD. When I got home to copy videos to my PC I saw that the app saved videos as date-clock.mp4.renamed so they are not video files. I removed the ".renamed" part and over the 50 videos only 2 of them worked (sort of- too much buggy) and the other files cannot be opened by any player (for example, Gom Player showed "Find Codec" error screen).
Can I fix those videos?
Thank you.

[Q] Media Files unsupported

Hi all.
I recently noticed that my phone does not support the creation or reading/playing of any sort of media file, spare pictures. I can view and take pictures just fine.
I'm not much of a you tube user, video taker, music listener, or any of that stuff, which explains why it took me so long to notice this.
Basically, you tube wont play videos, all conventional video files are unsupported across the board actually, including capturing video files. Conventional music files are unsupported as well.
My ROM is cognition 4.3 if that's of any help.
I've tried completely uninstalling you tube, camera.apk and the like, but after reinstalling I still don't have any solutions.
Adobe flash is needed for youtube to work. Get it from the market.
What type of music files are you talking about?

[Q] Droid 3 Video problem

I am a movie buff and I like watching them on my phone. I upgraded from a LG Env Touch that I had no problem watching videos. Now that I have a Droid 3 I have not found an app that will let me play my videos. I have install a bunch to find out they will not play my videos in any format. I have tried Mobo player that I was told was the best and that it played most if not all video formats but when I go to click on the folder in which to scan in it shows no videos. If I go to the file folder in apps where the video files would be I click on a video and it ask me what app do I want to play this file and when I select Mobo sometimes it plays but most of the time it won’t. Someone please help with these apps so I can play my movies. I have tried everything I can think of I am a computer person but I think I am doing something wrong. I have tried almost all formats and I have set the conversion program to convert the video to the Droid 3's accepted format and screen res of 980 by 540 and still can't get it to play. What is messed up is that the Motorola app ZumoCast plays all my video off my computer by a 3g connection linked to my computer but I can't find a standalone app that will do this. "Please help me"
I know it's by no means a fancy video player, but I have no issues loading on videos and watching them in QuickPic. I use .wmv shrunk down so the height is 480 and the width whatever keeps the original ratio. I placed them in the external SD card's DCIM folder then added that folder to QuickPic's gallery. I like QP because it allows you to select which folders are in your gallery. Essentially, you could have a folder called "movies" and that would be a sub-folder in your QP gallery.
I use the classic rock player and it plays anything.

[Q] Can I push mp4 videos to Xbox from Xperia t?

I have paired my Xperia t with my Xbox 360 and I can throw music, pictures and some movies to the xbox to show on my tv, but it doesn't show the videos filmed with the camera phone ( mp4 format). It showed the demo videos that came in the phone perfectly, but I have since deleted them and don't know what format they were in... Probably avi.
When I try to push camera phone videos it just shows 'playback error'
Anybody out there managed to stream their camera phone videos on Xbox? Or should i just give. up? Thanks.

New to Xperia Z - Video question

One week in and an upgrade to 4.2.2.
I was taking a first look at the video capabilities. Firstly, I tried to play the stock demo movies pre-loaded in the Xperia tab (10.1). The Movies app opened but after a few seconds I got "Cannot play video". I then played the file through the ES app. It worked fine! Why wouldn't the demo video play through Sony's own stock Movie player?
Any ideas?
Cheers

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The last stable is V13.0.21.0.SKDEUXM try to update.
And/or if you have tried everything for the settings / emptied the caches of the apps concerned, do a factory reset.
After the panic. I started to uninstall anything backwards until the day that I last recorded a video and thank God it repaired.
Don't know what caused it probably the B player, another app forced me to install.
