N79 unable to play .mp4 files

hi i have recently buyed n79.
i have converted the .avi files to .mp4 and saved the file into my mobile
but when i tried to play, it is showing the error message.
please kindly help me in this regard.

It's probably because you didn't use a compatible format.
Not all MP4 files are the same. They could be a number of codecs or levels that are not supported. Also resolutions.
Check this blog and this post.

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.
Thx alot

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?

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

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.

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.

Unable to play .mkv files

I used to be able to play .mkv files with VLC Player just fine before. After I started using Boot Camp with Windows XP, I am unable to play such files because I get an error message saying this computer is too slow to process the video. I'm trying to play 720p movies, but haven't been able to on a 2.2 Ghz MBP with 2 Gigs of ram. So, if anyone has a solution, please post! Thank you!

Any other video works. I tried launching vlc with --no-video and then sound channel works. Both totem and vlc gives Segmentation Fault in terminal.
I remember when I installed vlc, it asked whether I will use gstreamer or phonon, I did choose gstreamer. Now I tried reinstalling vlc and it didn't ask for that anymore.
Ok, I tried opening other mkv files and they worked (I don't know why all the time I thought that the file is 100% ok, apparently it wasn't). But that file was similar to any other files (just a new episode of one TV show).
P.S. I noticed that I can open that file with Windows and there are audio bugs, but It shows video well... Ahhh, the most important is that video codecs are fine on my arch, so let it be so!
A strange bug, but if it's like that only with one wrong file, then it's ok. Sorry about bothering you here about my strange file

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.

Playing MP4 Files

I just bought a new video camera which records in HD and creates an Mp4 movie file.
How do I play this file on my Mac?
I am not an overly technical person, but have never had an issue where my Mac was unable to read a video file.
Help.

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
From this recent thread (link) it appears that there is no Mac version of the 1080 codec as yet. Use 720 version until Apple/Sanyo get their act together.

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.
