N8 Unable to play media clip from micro SD

Hi All,
I've seen this about a couple of places but there don't seem to be any solutions out there.
I've got a 32gb micro SD card in the N8. Everything seemed fine to start with, but after the first 3 videos I watched now if I try to play videos off the SD I get "Unable to play media clip". Sometimes if I remove the file and then copy it back over to the card it works, but obviously this is quite frustrating.
If I copy these files to the phone's internal memory then they play fine.
I would appreciate it if anyone has got any ideas on this.
Cheers,
Stephen

i had the same problem.
i've bought a 32GB microSDHC Kingston, and i realized dat no movie could have been played...not even videos taken by the mighty Nokia N8.
i formatted it inside of N8...and on my PC but nothing worked really.
Then....i found the solution, and it's working like a chaaaaaaaaaaaarm.
on Windows 7...right click on My Computer..Manage...Disk Management...then choose the memory card from there and format it using FAT32 , quick format and Allocation Unit Sizeas 16kilobytes! dont choose default nor 32kilobytes! ok?
then the process of formatting will begin and it will take around...2 hours! yes 2 damn long interminable hours formatting ur memory card...once finish....u can enjoy having a powerful 32gb microsd on the mighty marvelous Nokia N8.
PS: if u want to fromat by right clicking on the memory card and chooseing format...it wont work. u gotta pass through disk management processing.
good luck
waiting for ur feedback!

Real Player pc to E71: unable to play media clip

First post here and hello to all members So I don't really understand my problem. I downloaded a short clip (a sample) on my computer by using Real Player SP then I converted it by using Real Player's dedicated settings for "Nokia E71". It plays (converted and not) on my computer so I transferred it on my mobile. Real Player was not able to play it "unable to play media clip". Could any one please advice me what is the problem? Thanks in advance.

While I don't do video editing, I do use two downloading extensions in Firefox and both offer multiple video formats to chose from when downloading. One is "DownloadHelper" and the other is "Flash Video Downloader." While each has its own website, you should download them from the Firefox extension website since what's presented there has been vetted by Mozilla. The links are http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/ and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/downthemall/ so you can see if they'll offer what you need.

Unable to play media clip - N97

Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me. I've got some videos on my phone (both MPA and 3GP) which used to play ok. All of a sudden every time i try to play one of the videos i keep getting the error message:
unable to play media clip. This happens via RP, File Manager or Videos & TV
Can anyone offer any advice to solve this problem?
Currently still on v11, which is another issue on its own. PC want allow me to update via NSU or NOS, keep getting an 'Internal Error' message so stuck on v11 unless i send my phone away for SIX DAYS while they update the firmware.
Any help would me much appreciated.

If you are willing to go through the hassle of reloading your contacts, bookmarks, email settings, internet settings, losing messages, etc.
A reset may be able to fix the problem.

Unable to play preview clip on timeline Premiere Elements 10

All of a sudden, I'm unable to preview clips, even in unfinished projects that used to work. I'm running Premiere Elements 10, Windows 8.1, Flash updated etc. These clips are activated, not rendered (red line above) but doesn't show. However, if I play the clip, I can hear the sound. Sometimes the program crashes, and I have to start all over again.
Update: Now, when I click on the clip on the timeline, preview window shows one frame, while the marker continues to "play" the clip(without showing anything but the first frame as a still picture. When hitting pause again, preview window shows a still where the clip was stopped...This happens on some of the clips on the timeline. Some are just pure black
Intel i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz 64 bit
Pls help

Yes, that could be it!
I do have a NVIDA graphics card! And it's updated with the latest drivers...
Now, I'll have to find out how to do a roll back...I'll read the thread you suggested and hope for the best!
Thanks for the answer!
Additional info:
Some of the clips that wont play in the preview or full screen window, shows a still picture when setting thetimeline to it AND THE clicking on the preview window. A still shows up, but nothing happens when a hit play. Some of the clips are from my GoPro Hero3 Black, but they seem to pay fine as long as I havn't used zoom on them. On many GoPro clips I've used zoom to minimize the "fisheye" effect, and then it wont play.

Any chance you could be part of a growing crowd of Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA video card users who have run into the NVIDIA video card driver issue. For the now of this issue, the answer seems to be to roll back the driver version rather than assure that you have the latest version of it.
Please check out the following thread here where I have sought to keep track of these happenings.

Please let us know if any of that might apply to your situation.....what video card, what computer operating system?
Thanks.

Playing video clips from web sites ?

Hi.
I am unable to view video clips from most websites. The frame with the video appears on the page, but I am unable to play the video clip. Why is that? And how can I get to view video clips from within the web page?
Thanks in advance for your help.

At the time the iPhone came out there was flash lite.
It was based on a 5 year old version of flash, would not play most flash content on the web.
Recently, adobe just released flash mobile 10 beta.
The demo I saw crashed the browser or caused very jeky scrolling on web pages. Also kills the battery.
Official release is slated for sometime at the end of the year.
Neither version provides a good customer experience, so why would apple use it?

Unable to play some movie from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up which says "cannot play movie. Please try again". Can anyone assist me? I just upgraded to iOS 7.1. Netflix not able to find problem.

Unable to play some movies from Netflix on my iPad. When I click on a movie an error message comes up "Cannot play movie. Please try again later." I contacted Netflix but have not been able the help so I am wondering if it's my iPad. I didn't have a problem before but I have recently upgraded to iOS 7.1. Also is a certain amount of storage needed to play a movie? About how much is that?

Hello all,
I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

When I play video clips from websites like Prescreen the sound is loud enough to hear w/out headphones. When I play my own professionally mastered video I have to wear head phones to hear loud enough. Is there a trick in Compressor or other software?

The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless)
The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.

Why I cannot play video clips from Google news page? It is only a white box without video when video icon is tauched!

Why I cannot play video clips from Google News page?

It looks,like the videos on the web page are flash, which will not play on the pad. That is why the made an app. Go to the store and get the free google news app. It is laid out a little different, but any videos in it will play.

I am unable to play video clips. When I click play, nothing happens. I have a feeling I am missing a plug in. Windows media player works fine.

Cannot play video clips. when I click. I might be missing a plug in but I am not sure. I have shockwave and flash installed.
