Nokia C3-01 broken video file

Hello!
Yesterday I recorded a fun video with my friends and as soon as I stopped recording, an error showed up but I didn't really care because I was talking to my friends. Later that day I wanted to see the video but then instead of having 1 3GP file, I had a 3GP file that has 1 kB and a SWP file that has 69,8 MB (I guess that's the real video?). When I try to open the 3GP or SWP, it says "File format not supported".
It's basically this:
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Pictures-and-Videos/6500-slide-video-Video008-swp-and-Video008-3gp/t...
But nobody answered that message.. Can anyone help me please? I'd be really really sad if I lost the video. (Excuse me for my English, I'm Czech)

You didn't say what the error message was, but I would guess that the video file has not saved properly. The videos taken by your phone would be in 3GP format. SWP files are normally "swap files", temorary files used by some operating systems to store data temparily, I didn't know that Nokia Series 40 phones did this with video.
I'm guessing the video was stored temporarily in the SWP file then when you ended the recording it created the 3GP file to finalise the data but was not able to complete it. Your phone is trying to read the 3GP file but there is no data in it.
Media players in your PC will not recognise the SWP file extension because it is not a recognised video file type. Try making a copy of the SWP file in your PC and rename the copy by changing the SWP extension to 3GP, then try to play it again to see if it works. Try VLC Media Player, generally speaking it is the best at playing damaged files. If it can't read your file, maybe nothing will.

Nokia N8 - Sending large video files via email pro...

Hello, When I try to send a pretty large video file via email on my N8 I get the following error "Memory low. Delete or move some data from C: Phone memory." However my videos are stored on my memory card which has plenty of space so I am confused and not sure what to do
I hope someone can help me on this, any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank You.

My best guess would be that the N8 temporarily caches the video to C: memory when sending via Email and therefore the file size exceeds the available free memory on C:.
I'm not sure the email server will allow the sending of files larger than a certain limit anyway, so you may be out of luck if you want to send any videos via email.

Import and Management of Video Files by Date Still Broken

It really is very disappointing that after 3 versions, and 110 bug fixes, basic things like importing or managing a video file by date is still completely broken.
Even more troubling, is that for someone who uses LR3 this is a very obvious problem, and should be very easy to fix.
When you import a file on a wide range of cameras the date that is used for the video file as far as LR3 is concerned is the date you are importing it, not the date it was taken. This makes any management of the file, especially when managed next to pictures, very difficult.
The problem, as far as I can tell, is that in Windows, a file has both a 'Date Created' and a 'Date Modified'. 'Date Created' is whenever the file was created on the PC. If you bought a new computer and transferred a bunch of files over on 30/12/2010, all of your files will have a 'Date Created' that is 30/12/2010 regardless of when the photos or videos were taken. Or if you take a video on September 1st and import it onto your computer September 15th, it will have a 'Date Created' of September 15th.
'Date Modified' however lists the date that the file was last changed. For video files, that most likely was the date the video was shot.
Every program I have ever used for video files has always organized them by Date Modified (when organizing them by date). For example, its the default in Windows 7 Explorer when showing video files, all the video files listed by the date you have taken them. Date Created really doesnt have any useful information.
Its inexplicable to me why LR3 uses Date Created instead of Date Modified. It is a glaring error, that should be easily fixed. Microsoft can manage to do it right, as a byproduct in its OS, Im not sure why an imaging company in a $400 piece of specialist software cannot.
And just in case this is overlooked as a minor problem, it certainly is not. It happens to the following cameras:
D90 (first camera to shoot video)
D3s (thought by many to be the best low light camera)
D7000 (likely to be Nikon's most important DSLR)
D3100 (likely to be Nikon's most purchased DSLR)
Canon S95 (one of 2 most popular P+S for DSLR owners)
Fuji 31fd (Ill never forget you!)
And those are just the cameras I have on my desk, Im sure it happens to many others.
Also, when importing these files by date, LR3 will import them into a folder 1 date later then the date that LR3 is using for the file. So, just to be clear, you could take a video on May 1st, import it into LR3 on May 2nd and LR3 would say it was taken May 2nd, and it would be placed in the folder for May 3rd.
Im really not sure why something so basic has not been addressed in so long, and it makes any sort of managment of video files by date in LR3 useless.
Very disappointing.

I agree that the wrong file system date is being used. But I scanned all my Lightroom files (manually) tagged with 'video'. When the file contains suitable metadata with a capture time that is used. When that's missing, the (wrong) file system date is used.
Interestingly I even found one camera where the dates were originally right (in 2009), then disappeared for a while (probably due to a firmware upgrade!) and then came back again. Summary of what I found:
Very old (Philips) webcam / format AVI / no metadata visible / wrong date
Canon Powershot A80 / format AVI / metadata visible / right date
Nokia N73 cellphone / format MP4 / no metadata / wrong date
Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2009 / format MOV / metadata visible / right date
Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2010 / format MOV / no metadata / wrong date
Canon EOS 5D Mark II around 2011 / format MOV / metadata visible / right date
So my conclusion is that the camera makers are making a bit of a mess when they introduced video. Nikon introduced its video a year or so later than Canon. I don't know if "no metadata" means that there is none, or that Adobe just doesn't like the format. But given the pattern of the firmware updates with Canon, it looks like Canon and Adobe ultimately agreed on the format. But in any case Lightroom (I am using 3.4.1) has a bug w.r.t. its fallback scenario of reading file system dates.
In my case, the dates changed when I copied all my data from one disk (old NAS) to a new one (new NAS). It is disconcerting that you get the copying date despite comparison tools declaring the files to be identical (Beyond Compare 3 also keeps an eye on date differences).
Hope this helps, Peter

Nokia Lumia mp4 videos files

Ive just transferred my micro sd card out of my Samsung tocco lite into my Nokia lumia 520 windows phone, the 520 will not play the MP4 video files on the sd card that I shot on the samsung and comes up with the error code c00d5212,the resolution of the MP4 photos are 320 x 240,according to the phone spec the Nokia is suppose to play MP4 files, anybody help please.

Hi jeeby,
Have you tried reinserting and removing the memory card? You can also see this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop to know more about the supported video formats.
You can also try to convert it to another supported format using a converter software then check if it will work.

Nokia 5800 can't delete 4kb video files

I have transfered several video files to my 5800 via USB mass storage. The phone has created 'copies' of these using their titles but with ._ in front and each file is only 4kb. I have watched some of the master videos and deleted them but these wierd unwatchable copies cannot be deleted. The phone says they are currently open and cannot be deleted.
I have opened the memory card on my Mac and deleted the cache in the Private folder and also the three .db files which I thought would force it to refresh it's database and see the files weren't there. I've also deleted the _PAlbTN folders.
After restarting the phone the 'copies' are still there in My Videos. Whilst they are only using a small amount of space at the moment they are gettign in the way of seeing what I actually want to watch and after a few months I'll end up with a whole heap of these things!!
Is there any way to delete them?

Not had this problem, and don't have a mac. However if you install something like Y-Browser or X-plore, you may be able to see where the files are situated and delete from there. Also a hard reset would almost cetainly resolve this, but I would use it as a last resort. Hope this helps, or that someone posts a better solution.
Good Luck

My complaints and Questions MP4 M4V video files and other complaints

Wow that was a chore. Apple! Let us drag copy and paste our info tabs information so we don’t have to type all this stuff when we are having trouble. **another problem and suggestion** right there.
Ok, back to the problem of the forum.
From what I can see from http://www.apple.com/ipodclassic/specs.html this file falls in line of everything required in order to be able to play on my iPod. It plays in iTunes fine but will NOT sync with my iPod. I get an annoying message that states, “Some of the Songs and videos in your iTunes library, including “BlaBlaBlaiPondFixYourJunkBlaBlaBla”, were not copied to the iPod “My iPod” because they cannot be played on this iPod.” Why oh why can iTunes play this video file but my iPod cant. Especially when the specs on Apple’s website say it can.
So that was bugging me for a LONG time until I found my “Create iPod or iPhone version” option in the “Advanced” heading. Thank goodness this made my files playable on my iPod. Extremely LONG wait though. I know that other programs convert it in ½ the time. But times not to important as long as it gets done, (would be very convenient if it was faster though **Problem and suggestion**)
Ok, now that I have used the “Create iPod or iPhone version” option it has slowly but surly converted my video. Ok, here is my main problem, the new file which is the result of the conversions information is as follows:
Kind: MPEG-4 video file
Size: 35.4 MB
Bit Rate: 125 kbps
Date Modified: 8/18/2009 2:15 PM
Play Count: 1
Last played: 8/21/2009 1:28 PM

Video Codec: H.264
C:\File\WhyIsThisNewFileInMyMusicFolder\TheMovieFileInQuestion.m4v
So basically it has made my file bigger *not a bonus in my book* greatly increased my Bit Rate *another interesting feature*, and I think the biggest change it has changed it from an .mp4 to an m4v.
Why does it need to be an .m4v I could have sworn some of my videos were or are in mp4 which shouldn’t matter anyway because I was under the impression that iPods could play mp4 files. So that’s my biggest complaint and question. Why can my 80GB classic iPod not play my MP4 files and why am I forced to convert them??
This conversion also creates 2 files in iTunes when I am done which is annoying because I have to go into my files info and look to see what file is the mp3 in order to remove it. Very annoying I can open my iPod options and see the files and some are faded (the ones it can not play) why can’t I remove them from that area.Suggestion Apple please make files that cannot be played on my iPod stand out some how for easier cleaning Suggestion. Thank you.
Speaking of cleaning iPods, when I moved my entire library to an external drive I was faced with a terrible problem. “This file could not be found, would you like to locate file”, I was faced with this annoying message at least 600 times. Now I am glad that iTunes has a little “!” mark to show dead links so that you do some minor cleaning, Good Job iTunes No compliant there. However iTunes has no way of selecting all the broken files for major cleaning (like in my case). Going through and deleting over 600 files 1 by 1 is extremely time consuming and annoying. **Suggestion Apple please add more cleaning features for organizing iTunes**.
Ok, speaking of organization now, another problem that appeared when converting my video files was that it put my new videos into the location where I have all my songs (my external hard drive) why can’t it put the new files in the locations of the original file? I have my computer highly organized and my original files were in that drive in that folder for a reason. If I could open my original file and skip the conversion, my iTunes would go to that specific folder to access the file which is fine. But now these new conversion files are elsewhere taking up space and disorganizing my computer. True I can go into the new location and move the files to where I want them (original location) but I don’t think I should have to hunt them down, copy, move, delete ect etc for all these files over and over. Very annoying, time consuming and should be unnecessary. **Suggestion Make file creation and location more customizable, and user friendly, your customers will love you for it**.
Well since I have gotten into Apples iTunes and iPod problems that I have had to face I might as well bring up one or two more problems and suggestions. About a month after purchasing my iPod a sibling bought one as well. His however is way more convenient then mine. I suppose he has a 5th gen. so here is my question: why does he have a search option and I don’t!!!! Why does he get more features every so often and I don’t?! Why can’t Apple write some software for us classic guys which got the iPods going! It’s very annoying when I have to spend more time looking for the song then I spend actually listening to it, when he can pull his up in like 3-6 seconds? I highly doubt the hardware between our iPods is that dissimilar and even if they are why cant software be written for us. **Suggestion treat all your customers good not just the newer ones, and make some more features for the classics like me and my iPod.” We will be grateful for it I promise.
Ok, I am almost done. Let me just recap my questions, I know my post is kind of lengthy.
#1. Why can’t my iPod play MP3 video files? And why do I have to convert to almost all the same settings except changing it from an mp4 to an m4v. according to Apples own site I should be able to play .m4v .mp4 and .mov files!! Note: remember iTunes plays them fine but my iPod will not.
#2. Would be much more convenient to be able to copy the information from the windows in iTunes so that problems and trouble shooting would be much easier. A little check on off options in iTunes advanced settings would be terrific.
#3. Why is the conversion so slow? Please speed it, you have the power. Convenience is the thing that sells products.
#4. Files that cannot be played on the current iPod need to be easier recognized for simpler cleaning.
#5. Also make an easier way to select all dead link files for faster cleaning, deleting, etc. This one is important.
#6. Make a user friendly way to change where my files are going to end up once I convert them for iPod more options and better customizable settings are need.
#7. One of the most important is ADD A SEARCH OPTION. I and we classics will LOVE Apple for it.
For you readers, I apologize for the long post, and any grammatical errors you might find throughout it. These are problems that I have faced with these programs and hardware and I wanted to make sure they got acknowledged and hopefully addressed. Any information about why I cannot play MP4 Video files on my iPod would be the best. If anything in my post gets answered that’s the one I want most. Will save me a lot of hassle.
Thank you all and I look forward to your suggestions and comments. All are welcome and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Bond, James

Was playing with iTunes and thought of another suggestion! Let us play files in iTunes from an iPod! A friend or sibling should be able to plug his iPod into my computer open iTunes and play any of the files there. Many times I have wanted to show a movie clip or video to a friend, and I have the dock so I can do it on my T.V. but play it on their computer in their iTunes forget it. That would be a very nice feature as well so we can watch our movies at maximum size or listen to music on a better sound system, just another suggestion that would be nice. Thanks

E65 wont play video files from 6233

just switched from a 6233 to an E65 and have transfered all my content to it.
the .3gp video files that were originally recorded on the 6233 come up with an error message and then only play the sound. all other .3gp files that were sent to me from other makes of phone play fine, as do the .mp4 files.
Anyone know whats going on? its pretty dumb for a newer nokia to not be able to play older nokia video's, yet play sony ericsson and samsung videos....

It is a little complex and it isnt really a UCM problem. Basically you are seeing differences between client software.
In Mozilla you can configure which external apps are used to open certain types of file
In Mozilla you can view Tools > Options > Applications and configure which app opens files (by file extension)
IE has some functionality like this in Tools > Internet Options > Programs however it is not as fine grained. It sounds like IE thinks it can natively display this file.
I strongly recommend that you find out what the Content-Type header is using Live HTTP Headers or similar.
THough you have configured the filetype in UCM you need to make sure that the webserver is set correctly as well if you are using weblayout URL as this is not being served by the UCM java process but by the webserver itself straight from the file system. Playing with the content-type header will change this behaviour.

Hi bbi8
You will probably need to download application such as Mobiola Video Converter and remote file manager for Nokia:

Sending video file to mobile client

Any tips on how to send a mp4 video file via TCP to a j2me client, running on a Nokia N95? I guess I have to convert the file into a byte array or similar?
I have looked around but have not been able to find anything. I am fairly new to MIDP and Java programming.

Link to Video files gets lost

I am using Premiere Elements 11 Editor (Mac App Store). Ich have my project in the video folder of MacOS X, because after the installation of PRE11 the software forced me to copy the project that I've started in PRE9 to that folder. In the project a list of Video files was already included. The video files are on an external hard drive, plugged with USB 2.0.
After coming back to my project several times later and restarting the software, all links to the video files gets lost and I had to relink them one by one, even when I select more than one and click on Edit/Search Media. With more than 100 video files this is very annoying. Is there a way to bring PRE to the point that it remembers the links? I think this should be the minimum of a video editing software for that price.

Welcome to the forum.
With the material on an external, you will need to set the Volume name (like a PC's drive letter, but with differences), to match what it was, when the material was Imported.
When media is Imported, the actual media files are NOT Copied over to the Project, but instead, absolute Paths to the media files are established in lnks to it. If anything changes in the absolute Path, then PrE will find the links broken, and they must be re-established.
On a PC, I could step you through the process of setting the drive letter in the OS, so that it is always the same (that is part of the absolute Path), but on a Mac, I am lost, being a PC-only guy. Others, who are on, and know Mac's, will be able to help you with the Volume name.
Good luck,

4- What initial file name of the JPEG photos taken from Nokia N70 like nk70-001.jpg, nk70-002.jpg etc or what.
I'll be very thankful for the reply

hi there
1. I think u cannot record a call converstion from N70 out of the box
2.ur voice records are stored as sound clip.amr
3.video quality depends upon the settings if u set it to high it stores it in mp4 format with the file name as ur phone's date ex 20072009.mp4(today's date)
4.same is applicable for images too ex:20072009.jpeg if u have selected as Default image name as "date" in the camera settings, if u select it as text it will ask for the desired name u want to select
cheers..........

Video files produced with E90 doesn't play on oth...

Hi all, the video file produce with my E90 communicator is not compatible with my other Nokia phone model's RealPlayer, can someone please tell me what exactly is the video format of E90?
Do I need to install a codes in order to play on other Nokia phone models? I assume it was Mpeg4.

First, try going to store at the top of itunes and check for purchases. Just to make sure that the movie was finished downloading.
If the video did not download correctly, then the only way to fix it is to download it again.
In your account screen in the itunes store, there is a purchase history section. In this section, you can report problems with music, movies or anything that you have downloaded.
Try using the purchase history section to report a problem and let the itunes store support that an error keeps coming up that the movie did not down load correctly

How do I import mp4 video files into Premiere Pro Cs4

For sometime now, I've been finding it practically impossible to import video files into premiere Pro cs4 especially mp4 files which happens to be the commonest to me now, as I currently shoot with a Nokia Lumia 920 phone with Windows phone 8 OS. I have tried severally to convert the videos into various other formats using Xilisoft video converter version 7.7.2 and each time I do this, they would either not play fine in cs4 or not import at all.
Please what can I do to be able to import these mp4 files into Cs4 or what format or how do I convert them into a format that would play seamlessly for better editing?
Funny enough, I had once imported video files that were shot with the same phone and they worked well, just wondering why they aren't now.
Please any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks
NKC

I'm happy to announce to you all that my "mp4 importing" issues has been sorted out. Now I import mp4 shot with the same Windows Phone 8 Device into Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. Only that for the moment, it doesn't play as fast as with ordinary player.
But how did I get it to work, you may wonder;
I simply installed Itunes on the system, I also installed an app called media monkey. I can't say which of the apps did the magic but the next time I tried to import mp4 files into Premiere Pro after these installations, it imported seamlessly.
Obviously there's a link between the required codecs and the itunes itself.
You may want to try it and hope it works for you.
Kindly inform us if it works.
Thank you all.
Cheers.
