This is one thing that has really irritated me. Sometimes I record video on my phone vertically and when i export them to my pc they will only show sideways. Is there either a phone or pc app that will let me easily rotate videos? I tried using WMM but it tells its not compatible with the 3gp format.
Alright, so I'm running Nookie Froyo (customized?) and Sometimes my SD card has problems mounting but I just pop it in and out and it goes.
However, Gallery and Music are not picking up any of the music I have stored on there.
Similarly, when I use Astro to play most of the videos I have, it FC's. Any thoughts, ideas, suggestions?

Off the top of my head I'd say for the video issue verify the format is compatible (h.264 baseline with a resolution at or below 854x480 for example) and short of that use ROM manager to fix permissions, reboot into recovery and wipe cache and then check again.
On the custom emmc 0.6.8 build I'm finding that the best thing for me is to re-encode my videos using handbrake with the custom preset found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894165
I've tried various video players and have settled for just using the stock player and uninstalling all others. I sometimes get video rotating into portrait mode which I resolve by jumping into Youtube app and running a video while rotating into landscape mode and then jumping back into gallery. Seems to often kick the movie player back into playing in landscape as it's supposed to.
As for music, I haven't tried loading my SD card with MP3's so I can't comment on that.
Hope this helps.
Hey thanks, helped me out too haha.
Does HandBrake have a batch convert/process option?
If it doesn't, I need a program that does.
I used freemake to do the conversion for my nook, and it worked great. But, you do have to be careful what video size, audio and video codecs, bitrate, and file extension that you pick.

It has. Press "Soucre->Add folder", all video files will appear in title list. Simply switch titles and add them to queue.
Honestly, call me dumb. But I clicked "Source> Add folder" Then Start and it only converted 1 file.
EDIT: Sorry ,I figured it out.
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.
Fling is the latest in a string of applications designed to stream content to Google’s Chromecast device. Fling is a Java application (so it will work on pretty much every platform) that streams media content directly to Chromecast from your PC. Technically, it is possible to do this anyway, but it requires opening the video or song you want to stream in a Chrome tab, and then casting that tab to the device. Fling does away with that nonsense though, allowing for media to be dragged-and-dropped into the application, whereupon it will begin streaming to the Chromecast.

Looking good. MP4's go over with no problem...But, of course I see you have some transcoding options set up for other formats (like mkv). How will that work? Is this implemented already?
Thanks for the nice app and hard work.

MKV works great! Streaming from my NAS box now. However, the black line for 16:9 is only on top, and picture is at bottom of screen.
However, there is no way to fast forward or rewind.
Wow, this works wonderfully!
I can stream pretty much any video I have on my PC and get video and audio.
Also, you can use the andoid app remotecast https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benlc.camcast to pause and adjust volume from your phone.
does anyone know how to remove the padding around the videos? when mine plays on the tv it is not centered and the top of the video is cut off

add height=480 and width=760 to your perameters. This will mess with your aspect ratio but it's the only solution I've found. If you can transcode HD then try 720x1280

This is not my work buddy, Yes Implemented, you can download with from the link in the first post
I don't understand. This isn't working at all for me. Tried both Chromecasts I have on different TVs, but every video file (AVIs and MP4) I try does nothing on the app or on the TV. Sometimes I see a track time start running on the app, but still, nothing but the ready to cast screen TV...
Did I miss something? Running Win8.
I also just updated VLC and still doesn't cast anything at all.
Also, does the config.properties file that creates automatically have to stay in the same location as the .jar file? Do we need to keep this at all?

You won't see anything happen to the app. There's a 10 second delay before video starts on tv.

I don't expect to see anything on the app, but most of the times, the counter for the movie never starts, and even when it does eventually, nothing ever shows up what so ever on the TV. So forget a 10-second delay, I've waited minutes and nothing lol.
Also I noticed that sometimes after loading the .jar, it only finds one Chromecast instead of my 2, or it finds NONE- until I hit refresh.
Ya I can't get it to work either for any video formats. It finds my Chromecast, but when I drag a file, my TV just goes black.

Were you able to resume playback with Remotecast? In my short test I was able to change volume and pause, but not able to resume playback.

Yes, in the videos I tried, both pause and then play to re-start worked.
Jumping forward/back doesn't work though.
In my test most videos pause like aircast and cheap cast. Fast Internet connection but I just don't think chromecast was built to stream media over local area networks without issues... But what do I know.

Hey all.
I tried using Chromecast today and it just isn't the same anymore.
When trying to play a "Personal Video" there's no option to stream it to the TV.
The only available icon is to share the video, which I did by accident, and now everything is being shared on Google Plus and I can't seem to find a way for this to stop either.
I'm using a Nexus 10, firmware 4.3, and it's not rooted.
Any help or ideas on what has changed recently?
Sees chromecast from ubuntu, nothing on windows
Fling doesn't find my chromecast using windows. but sees it using ubuntu. However nothing plays.
This is sweet!
So I've added the slow mo button for a longer clip and it plays fine on the phone but when I copy it to Windows laptop it just plays like normal video but with no sound. How do I save/transfer it with slomo please?

i believe the video is just recorded with a higher framerate and then the player adds a filter to slow it down. that's why you can acctualy play(modify) with the sequence after its been recorded. because its not acctualy recorded with the effect.

I noticed it too. When you record the slow mo video, it will show as a slow mo using the video player from Samsung... If I use another player like VLC or even Windows, it won't show it. I then realized, you need to edit and save it as a separate file to keep the slow mo changes using other players. Once I saved it, it created a new MP4 file... Now I'll have 2. The original and the edited one that will play in slow mo in all players like VLC. Hope it works for you.
Edit: You don't have to edit it. You can just save it as a separate file. I just edit it first cuz I want to change where the slow mo starts and finishes.
Sorted thanks for the info.
