My E50 plays MP4 files without picture

I have used Media Player from Nokia PC Suite to convert a .mpeg video-file into .3gp and .mp4 and transferred them to my Nokia E50.
I played each of them using RealPlayer (the one installed by default).
The 3gp file is played ok, thow both image and sound quality is very bad.
The problem is with the the mp4 file, which I was unable to see, but only to hear. Real player displayed a speaker icon in the upper left corner and it played only the sound (at least is was a better quality).
Am I doing anything wrong, is it a player problem, a converter problem?
The file played ok on my computer (both image and sound)
Could you please help?

There are a number of different encoders you can try.
If you are looking for a free encoder. Try SUPER from eRightsoft.
If you want to try something else www.imtoo.com has a full suite of audio and video encoders that you can try for free.
There are also others. You can encode to RM video using Helix producer.
Just do a search here in the forums for video or encoding and you can find threads that talk about it.
Some formats, screen sizes and such are not supported by all models, I don't have the specs for the E50 but I think you can find them in allaboutsymbian.com to see what formats it supports.
640K Should be enough for everybody

My N73 can't play MP4 file

Hi,
I'm using N73 now,just bought it. When I tried to play a MP4 file by using RealOne, it promted "unable to play media file". However, when I move the memory card to another N73, it played well.
My version is V 2.06.... I know there is higher version V 3.0... but I dont think it must be upgraded to play MP4 file.
Can any one help me please.

The latest n73 firmware supports the H.264/AVC codec and the DivX codec... I use this codec to convert my movies without problems...
Btw, the other 2 n73 phones that you used to play the video must have a new firmware, yours is too old!!
You mean the latest FW lets N73 to play DIVX video files without installing any 3rd party software like smartmovie?

Playing mp4 files on iPad

Hi All, this a desperate cry for help before I finally junk my new iPad: I am currently enrolled in an online program running on the Adobe Connect platform. The multimedia files (mp4, pdf etc) can not play on the iPad despite several attempts. Any explanation to this and suggestion on what to do?

You need an app to play those files....I am pretty sure. I play mp4 videos just fine on the app Goodplayer...the older version! The currently available Goodplayer app may not play mp4 files, since they had a dispute (exhorbitant fees) with Dolby, who banned their software use on Goodplayer and several other apps. I understand that there is an app available at the app store that has Dolby software, in that they collaborate with Dolby in some way. Be sure to check capabilities and limitations before you buy any such app. I don't know about pdf files.

Nokia n85 not playing MP4 files

Hi,
I never used the video podcasts, well I just tried to use some nokia video podcasts and they were in MP4 format. To my surprise my phone says it can not play the format and so it just played it as the audio file. I was reading at GSMArena.com and looks like N85 does support MP4 files.
Can any one help me on this? How can I play MP4 files on my phone?
Thanks,
Harpreet
N85
Software ver: 30.019
RM-334

Well, podcasts are mainly encoded in AVC@640x360 or 480x320. N85 plays AVC only at 320x240 resolution or lower. It has nothing to do with the container, in this case .mp4.

Flash CS6 cant open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?

Flash CS6 can't open play SWF files without importing and destroying them, how can I get around this?
I'm just trying to preview an swf file in flash like I have with all previous versions.

What if my SWF loads external content from an online server?
Not only does the current flash player prohibit such activity, it doesn't even pop open an error anymore saying there was an error connecting to an online source.
Normally, I would simply drag the SWF into Flash and all connections would go through. I could see traces, errors, and experience no issues.
Now I can't even do that. So what then? You have crippled a fundamental use of the program, but THANK GOD we have that deco brush that nobody asked for.
And for the record, the nature of my work benefits from not necessarily allowing the Flash Player to connect to online content. The error it pops up? That's simply another method of error checking that I require. Updating the Flash Player options is not an option.
Why would you even remove this key feature from Flash anyways? It's been there for years ... has the ratio of people importing SWFs (a rather useless gesture in an increasing OOP world) really outweighed the people using Flash as a testing environment that much?

Front Row won't play .mp4 files

I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
Please help!!

iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

Can't play .mp4 files anymore

This has nothing to do with an iphone, and ipod or an ipad. My Macbook Pro running Lion 10.7.2 will not open or play .mp4 files any longer.
I've tried opening it in quickview and it shows up as a black screen that never plays.
It does the same when i open it with Quicktime X.
If i try opening with Quicktime Pro 7, it says 'The movie contains some invalid data' 'The movie could not be opened'.
someone please help me, i don't know what's going on, and i'm a video editor, so i need to be able to work with these files like i have been for the last few years

i can dropbox it to you. it's about 107MB
and i don't restart the computer. i shut it down completely and i've tried pressing down Command R and the power button all at once and holding Command R down after letting go of the power button
i've also tried holding down command and r and while they are pressed down, then i press the power button.
none of these tedious combinations have worked.
what's your email and i can send you the file once i have it up on drop box.

Save or export an opened .mp4 file without re-encoding

How can I save or export an .mp4 file that I opened and trimmed without being required to re-encode it. I'm looking for an option to either save the .mp4 file without exporting, or export with a passthrough option such as the one available when using QuickTime Pro. Thanks.

Hmm, I would have expected inclusion of the basic feature set of QuickTime Pro to be a prerequisite for any commercial audio editing program.
The reason commercial audio editing programs don't work the way Quicktime Pro does is Quicktime Pro really isn't an audio app. If Quicktime is able to cut an trip an mp4 file (m4a, aac, whatever you call it) it's becaue it's editing the stream directly, probably similar to the way a file-splitter would work. MP3 was able to have this one too, one could chop an mp3 up in to parts without re-encoding...however, due to the way data is represente in a lossy format, you have several limitations in doing so.
Commercial Audio applications don't do this because it's not going to be done by professionals...even if Audition had this feature, it wouldn't be able to work the same as cutting a wave file. You have servere limitations on where you can cut a lossy audio file up without having to re-encode it.
Cutting the bitstream of an mp3 or m4a file is generally not a standard inclusion for any audio program...
But, remember, Quicktime is a "basic" video editor...not an audio editor nor should it be confused for one.

HT4609 error -2048 when it doesn't play MP4 file

I thought itunes would play MP4 files, but I got the error -2048, what does this error mean??? with Xp OS
Keep smiling !!!

Yes you'll likely need to re-rip the album to your iPod.
How many songs are reported in your iTunes library?
When you said you selected your entire iTunes library and made sure they were not set to skip when shuffling, how exactly did you do that?
There seems to be a missing piece of information here that would help explain the differences in numbers.

I thought quicktime plays .mp4 files

I downloaded quicktime to play a file extension with a .mp4 extension and quicktime says it wont play and there is nowhere to download nothing to make it play. How do I play .mp4 extensions? I tried downloading like 20 programs that are suppose to play .mp4 files and none of them worked.

I have the same problem, When I download video from the net they are mp4. They would play at one time and now they don't. I have qtpro

Still Cant Play MP4 Files

Hi
The first time I downloaded QT 7.4 , I couldnt play MP4 files in QT and FR. I then had to reinstalled QT 7.3 with Pacifist and it was all okay. Today I downloaded Version 7.4.5 (25) and the same problem cropped up! I thought Apple would have fixed it by now! Anyone else facing the problem? Before installing I had run permissions. I am on the latets verion of Tiger

What's the nature of the files that can't play? Do you hear the audio but can't see the video? Were they converted from .flv using TubeSock or iSqunt? If so, when you download the latest iSquint, it comes with the Debreaker app that fixes those files.
There are other solutions like using Pacifist again or using an old version of a component, but both of those mean that, with every update you'll be doing it again. If your files are of the specific type listed above, that fix has worked through the last few updates with no problems.

Can't play MP4 files

Today after i downloaded some MP4 files at first it was telling me so and so mp4 file is not a valid win32 application after uninstalling and reinstalling quicktime now when I try to play the file only like a quarter of the quicktime window even shows and it plays like 3 seconds of the audio without showing any video and says quicktime has stopped working and then the close program dialogue box shows up I have the latest version of quicktime installed. Does anyone have a solution?

Slapping myself w/a wet noodle across both cheeks!
Was so busy checking out the actual video & its codes I missed the other video download options in the left corner. Sowwy!!!!!
I downloaded the 64Kb MPEG4 (105 MB) & the 256Kb MPEG4 (169 MB) videos. Repaired permissions after the download.
At first the 256kb refused to open. Got some funny error message. So I played the 64kb video-----no problem. Got sound & video coloration was pretty good. No green discoloration.
Went back & tried the 256kb video again & this time it opened up w/o any problems. The video had both sound & picture. Same as above.
Played around w/the FF buttons on both videos & no problems with that either. QT did not crash.
"plays sound but video is green."
To be quite honest, I have no idea what would cause a dicoloration like that in QT.
See if repairing permissions & restarting helps. If not, trash QT preference & restart.
Home>Library>Preferences
Trash the com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist file. A new one will be recreated on you open QT.

Finder cover flow not playing .mp4 files

Recently I found the option to play video files while in the cover flow view in a finder window (click on the right pointing arrow that appears when hovering over the thumbnail).
This week when I try playing a video (.mp4 files), I can see that the video is playing but it is not displayed. I know it is playing because I can hear the sound track, can see the reflection of the video below where the display of the video should be and the progress circle works.
MacBook / 10.6.2
Anybody else seeing this? Anyone have a solution?

This was fixed in the 10.6.4 update.
