Captured Video Won't Play Outside of Phone
 

When I use my Sprint HTC Touch to capture videos, it will play them back on the phone just fine. But when I copy them to my computer they won't play at all. Quicktime gives me an error that says:

Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie

I tried using All Media Fixer but to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas? I want to e-mail them but it's no use doing that unless they will play on a computer. Thanks!

its the format you are using on the phone. for ease switch to jpeg format and it will easily read on your computer. there are probably format tools (software) that change the captured format to one that your pc can easily read but i havent looked too far into that yet. i know the jpeg works for me on pc so i swithed my phone capture mode.

Your video is being captured in a format your computer doesn't understand. You can get codecs for the PC so it understands that format or change your capture setting to mpeg4, out of all the formats the video capture uses, mpeg4 is the most standardized

It is in the video settings menu, click on the tab that looks like a cog, click capture format and change to mpeg4

i rememeber this error, by default windows media nor winamp will play MPEG4 files created with the camera, you have to find a player for MPEG4 files. google it lol.

On cnet's download.com do a search for Free FLV converter. This is a free program that will convert almost any type video file to almost any other type video file lol. I use it to convert the video off of my phone to AVI. format. Works really well and its free :) , plus when you email them to others there in AVI format so anybody can view them without special players or codecs

Change the file extension to 3GP and QuickTime should play it.
