N8 doesn't play video

Hello! Just bought my nokia n8,great phone but I have 1 problem,it doesn't play video. If I try to open it I get message '' Unable to open file ''. Please help.

The codecs printed by Nokia are
H.264 (base profile, main profile, high profile), MPEG-4, VC-1, Sorenson Spark, Real video 10
Streaming: H.264, Flash Lite 4 (Flash 10 compatibility for video), On2 VP6, Sorenson Spark
However I haven't had a problem playing anything , as long as the file is smaller than 2 Gig !
If I have helped at all, a click on the White Star is always appreciated :

    My DVD doesn't play videos . CD rom works fine. but when I put DVD it makes a sound as if it would play , the drive's light would stay on but the DVD would not play. I live in Europe and the regional settings is at 2 which is ok.The DVDs play on another PC. I am running Windows ME. Any suggestions please? Is there anywhere to download the driver for Toshiba DVD-ROM SD-R2002.
    thanks all.

    Hi tammy,
    did you installed a DVD Softwareplayer like WinDVD or something else?
    If yes, which is it? Does it play DVDs in the past without problems?
    Do you want to play original DVDs or backup copies?

  • Firefox doesn't play video and audio, cann't download anything!

    A very strange problem occurred a few days ago. I didn't pay attention on it at first ( I thought it was caused by my provider) but now I found that it's a real problem. Firefox doesn't play video or audio. For instance, it starts loading and that's all. The same is with playing music. In addition, I can't download any files and view a big image as quick as early.
    What is more interesting sometimes Firefox just begins to work in ordinary way.

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might also work.
    If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give this player a try:

    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

  • QuickTime Problem. Doesn't play video.avi.

    I have updated the system up to the latest - Maverick. After that QuickTime Player doesn't play video.avi. I have tried restarting the app - worthless. Yet, it has been showing 'Converting' for 30 mins. Please, help!

    Hello, thank you for your reply. I have several more questions if you don't mind.
    1. Does it always take that long to convert a file (more than 30 mins)? It seems that it doesn't work. It stops at the beginning and than nothing changes.
    2. Since when QuickTime needs convertation for avi? I thought this is a standart format.
    3. How can I use QuickTime 7?
    Here is what I see during 30 mins.
    Thank you beforehand!

  • Safari doesn't play video

    Just unpacked my new iMac, updated software and run the Safari. Safari doesn't play video (tutorials) on apple.com. Still, I can hear audio well.
    Please help.

    Hi Nels, I had the same problem, and I have discovered the solution, it´s fairly simple:
    Go to: Safari / Preferences click on the tab extensions and there you will probably have extensions set to ON, you just have to turn extensions OFF (the alternative plugin (DivX) is causing this video error.
    greets!

  • Photo Booth doesn't play videos anymore

    Hi all
    Today I realized that, on my iMac Core Duo, Photo Booth doesn't play videos it record ( I saw the thumbnails but screen remains black when I select one) while they can be played by any other player on the computer, and from iphoto and imovie as well if I export them, all after the Mountain Lion update.
    The issue doesn't occur with my MacBook Pro i7, with approximately same software installed but I can't find a solution anyway.
    Can you help me please? I'm a huge fan of Photo Booth
    Thank you

    Hello volkerfromessen and everyone else
    now i have problems with the drag and drop background effect. i can't drop images there anymore. : / haven't found any thread on here talking about this issue.
    i'm afraid such issues on photobooth will become more often with time. i'm kind of hopeless that apple will fix it soon.
    i haven't had any problem with Lion. but Mountain Lion has been a pain in the ***!

  • My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

    My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?

  • Real Nokia 5610 doesn't play Video in QVGA at 30fp...

    Hi all, I really disappoint that my Nokia 5610 doesn't play any resolution of video at 30fps, even i've tried whatever bitrate, whatever resolution (QVGA, QCIF, ...), whatever audio bitrate, it still can't play back smoothly with 30fps, onlt 15fps it supports. So why Nokia provide such imperfect information to us. My friend 5610 also can't playback 30fps, QVGA.

    Umm, this is interesting...

  • The new nano doesn't play video anymore?

    i'm confused? the first, second and third nano played video and had a camera....the new one doesn't

    "Any other ideas?"
    Yes, contact Apple. According to their own website...
    http://www.apple.com/accessibility/itunes/hearing.html
    "Captioned Movies on iPod
    iPod models that support video — including iPod classic, iPod nano (3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th generation), and iPod touch — can also display captions when present in the content. Captions display in a high-contrast white-on-black font that’s easy to read."
    The 6th generation Nano plays video. Plus the fact that the email their accessibility team has sent in response to my question...
    "On your hearing page, closed captioning for videos refers to the newest nano, is this correct?" seems to confirm very clearly...
    "Hi,
    Thank you for the email. That information is correct, if the video content you have synced from iTunes contains closed caption information you can enable closed captioning. One thing to note, the new iPod Nano (6th Generation) will only sync music video content only.
    Apple Accessibility"
    Perhaps there is some special format to Apple Music videos that I am not aware of, but it seems as though changing the tag should allow it to sync. Perhaps it's an update away?

  • IPhone 4 doesn't play video

    Ever since I updated to iOS 7 my phone has lag like I've never seen. All around the phone is slow now but it didn't bother me too much. What bothed me the most was that when my phone tries to play video from anywhere (YouTube, camera roll, email) it will play it in 1 or less fps as if I was just watching a slideshow. My brother has the same phone and same problem when he updated but I thought it was just his phone until I updated too.

    it seems the router is working fine. My laptop and my brother's phone is also working fine. So, why me?

    On the MSN site, could you open the Web Console (Ctrl+Shift+k) in the lower part of the tab and click Network, then try a video in the upper part of the tab? Click the Size column a couple times to bring the largest items to the top and watch for the player.swf file to load and then see whether any media files load. Sample screen shot attached.

  • Itunes doesn´t play videos

    just it is no´t playing videos, any kind, mp4 converted in quick time pro too....help...

    Oh wow. I just browsed the net and it seems this is an issue almost everyone has experienced or is experiencing and there really is nothing you can do about it. That is unfortunate.

  • Itunes doesn't play video

    Hello, I have had this problem for years, and it really stinks that I can't watch any of the stuff i've purchased on iTunes. 
    Any time I try and watch a video in iTunes (that i purchased through iTunes, it freezes and crashes iTunes.  If i try and watch some of these movies or tv shows through Quicktime player stand alone, it will play some of them if not most and all of them, but the video for some reason appears sub standard. I am convinced I will never get this issue resolved, which really stinks because i would probably buy more movies and tv shows through itunes. =(  
    OK:  I did a complete gut uninstall of everything apple from my pc, and a registry clean etc. and then a complete reinstall and it still doesn't work. 
            I also went into Quicktime settings and changed the 3D acceleration settings as some threads suggest.
            So other than those things right there I don't know what to say???  I have a 16 gigs of ram, an i7 processor, and HD radeon GPU... my hardware is not the issue.  p.s  I also watch movies via cyberlink power dvd etc, so I know I am able to watch video.  I am thinking i am missing some type of codec... who knows, I don't or i wouldn't be typing this.

  • Ffplay doesn't play video after using chromium

    VLC opens and runs audio but with no video.
    In chromium, video runs just fine.
    I think (I'm not sure) that first youtube video stops vlc/ffplay from working properly.
    Further more, after setting video output to X11 instead of "Default" in VLC videos start playing again, but still no luck with ffplay.
    Output device set to X11 works (although with some errors):

    I have few mkv files and the result is the same.
    ffplay -vn works, with video I get Major opcode of failed request:  151 (XVideo)
    I've added output from VLC to original post with output out of different VLCs --vouts...
