Can't Play Videos Taken With Phone

lexluthor · #1 (**permalink**) 07-30-2009, 08:35 AM

I'm unable to play videos that I've taken with the phone from the TF3D screen.

When I try to play it, I get an error messaging saying Windows Media "The source filter for this file could not be loaded."

Any ideas how to fix this?

first have you tried viewing the video through the few other methods in your phone??
1) using file explorer to open it...
2) using "album" to open it...
3) using "pictures and videos" from programs

does it play using these options???

also did you DL a camera hack/add-on/tweak prior to this error?

1) Same Error
2) Same Error
3) Same Error

In each case, Windows Media always loads and then I get the error.

No, I don't think I've ever done any camera hacks.

Any other ideas on how to fix it?

Yes, I'm on an flashed ROM. It's an old one of Scott's, but it's been working great. Videos used to work on this ROM

The files that don't play are .mp4. .avi files play fine.

I don't have that sample video. Maybe I deleted it or it wasn't included in the ROM.

I think the problem started around the time I was playing around with different youtube applications, so I might have fubar'd something then.

Apparently, videos you take with the phone itself are .mp4.

Any other ideas from anyone?

use h.263 or 3gpp2... pretty sure wmp doesnt support .mp4, cuz my buddys songs never work when he sends em..

open video cam>settings>advanced>capture format

also, you can try tcpmp.. thats seems to play most anything

Already tried h.263 or 3gpp2 and same result. WMP definitely does support .mp4. I know it's played these before.

Coreplayer does play it. I'm sure TCPMP would too with the right codecs installed. Still, I want to get WMP fixed so it can play these.
