I copied the *.mp4 file from the touch to my PC.

I opened Media Player 11 but it returns an error. I googled for mp4 codec but no success.

Is there something I don't know? Something I can do to view the video I make using the HTC Touch on my PC?

As far as I know Windows Media Player dont play mp4 files...

You could use real player to play the mp4 files...

If you want to convert them to mpeg files or something to be able to play on media player try and download a program called super. Its free and converts to alot of different files and accepts tons of input files...

I checked out Super. The "free" version leaves a watermark right in the middle of the converted file. I guess I gotta find something else. Thanks for replying, though.

i was actually trying to do this same thing today. i did have some luck. i searched for a WMP codec on google and found one but it only plays the picture and no sound. then i downloaded quicktime because someone else it said that it could play them but when i open it it says incompatible format.

VLC plays the video, no audio.

i have no issues playing phone files on my pc... i have super (they do not leave watermakrs) not the version i have anyhow..
but thats besides the point, i dont use super, i just double click...
you want to look into K-lite Codec pack! its great!

Download it here: http://www.codecguide.com/about_kl.htm

you can however change the recording file format to motion jpeg. i don't know if its any better in quality or not but they play on your computer. it doesn't helpe for the ones you've already recorded though. is there a way to make the quality better cause it kinda sux.

Download VLC player .. its free.. you never have to download codecs.. just double click any xvid,divix,mp4, what ever and it will play. Job done.

I couldn't believe this worked, but it does!
I copied a video (mp4) from my device to my laptop, and got that 2041 error. Just CHANGE THE FILETYPE from .mp4 to .3gp (rename) and run it on your laptop/destop. You can change the extention to .wmv as well, I had a warning that it might not play, but it did. Who would a thought. Hope this helps.

I found that media player classic (mpc) works best for ALL media playback, no codecs either, go to xpcodecpack.com and install, mpc comes with it. It's also what I use to play DVDs on my laptop, it's small and compact.
