Trying to play Mp4 and Avi on N900

I have converted some DVDs to MP4 using Handbrake and transferred them to my N900 but they won't play. the message says the format isn't supported. But I'm sure MP4s are supported.
I have also tried to copy oves some AVI files and again they won't play, this time the message says the audio won't play.
Can anyone help me here?
I would be most grateful.

lol, iirc i dont think the n95 played h.264, i think it played mp4es and h.263?
@matthew - lol, i received a message from a moderator saying that my post was a 'bad post' because it featured 'advertising'. two things wrong with this.
1. how is it a bad post if it is a valid solution?
2. its a freeware program... with no insoftware advertising (aside from asking if you want to try their toolbar), so theres no profit to be made. i dont work for dvdvideosoft, otherwise there would be a dedicated n900 video converter instead of me editing scripts originally designed for iphone... so why am i being pinned for advertising? its not my fault nokia do not have their own program for encoding videos to the n900's resolution... and im providing a solution that takes care of this...
ohhhh how i feel your pain.
its like being in high school again in an english class.   unlike math, where the anser is the answer, your grade lies in the oppinion of the reader!

    tried to play games and gave me an error message
    error message says "this game cannot be launched, this may be a result of a full ipod"
    confuses me because my ipod is no where close to full

    You need to do a hard reset of the iPod.  To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • HT3180 When trying to play itunes and slideshows from my Mac book to Apple TV the small icon on the bottom right of the screen which switches between Computer and Apple TV doesn't always show up, and therefore the function doesn't work.  What's up?

    We are trying to play playlists and a slideshow from an Apple Macbook wirelessly to the Apple TV.  The small, upward arrow icon that appears on the bottom right of the screen (which allows you to pick Computer or Apple TV) doesn't always show up, and therefore, we can't get it to work.  Any thoughts?

    Airplay mirroring software will not work with anything below Mountain Lion 10.8 and an Apple computer from 2011 or newer.

    Go to "About this Mac" and tell us:
    1. What OS X version you are running
    And then click on "More Info" and tell us
    1. What year is your Macbook.
    Also tell us a little about your cable and Wireless setup.
    Maybe we can help.

  • I Can't Play .MP4 and .mkv Files Backed up in Time Machine

    I backed up My Macbook to an external hard drive in my passport / Time Machine.  I am attempting to play both .mp4 and mkv files in quicktime and vlc respectively.  They worked when they were on my computer, but I they won't open now.  I even tried to copy them to my computer and play them that way.  When I click on info, it shows the file size, and it seems normal.  I updated both Quicktime and vlc, and it still doesn't work.  Please help.

    You wrote in your first post:

    Then you wrote:
    when it restored it, the file size was zero
    Which of those statements is true?

  • Mocha AE failed to open .mp4 and .avi

    Hallo,
    I used usually mocha and it worked perfekt, but today I was trying import a video and it say "failed to open file ***.avi: currupt or in unsupported format" the same message it say with mp4 format.
    What can I do? avi and mp4 formats are support formats.
    I'm using Format Factory 3.2.1., Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, AAE CC lastest version.
    Thank you.

    Not all video formats are currently supported by mocha AE. Imagineer is working to resolve this, but currently if you clip does not open in mocha AE, we recomend transcoding it to another format. This tech note may help: http://www.imagineersystems.com/support/Documentation/supported-file-formats#idp19920
    What to Do if mocha AE Does Not Support Your Footage
    In the rare event that you are working in a format that mocha doesn't support, we recommend converting the footage to an image sequence.
    If you are just tracking, you can use any compressed format such as a JPG sequence and then use your original footage when you apply the data.  If you are going to be doing rendering, such as using Mocha Pro's remove or insert modules, then we recommend converting to a DPX or TIFF sequence.
    Make sure of the following when converting to an image sequence:
    The frame rate, aspect ratio and dimensions are the same as the original footage.
    If you are creating proxy footage, make sure the aspect ratio and frame rate are the same.
    If you are using a particular bit depth, make sure you convert to the same depth if you are using the footage for rendering inside mocha
    If using compressed footage, don't set the compression too low, as this will create artifacts that may hinder tracking and roto.
    Make sure mocha supports the sequence you are converting to!
    If you would prefer to convert to a movie clip format then we recommend a standard format that QuickTime would understand, such as Animation. If you are working on OSX, ProRes can also be a good alternative.

  • Broken Quicktime symbol when trying to play trailers and previews

    Whenever I tried to play movie previews and trailers, a broken quicktime symbol would show up where the video would play and then nothing would happen. I uninstalled, and then reinstalled Quicktime and the same thing happens.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to fix this problem?
    Has this happened to anyone else?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    The windows firewall in windows XP SP2 could possibly cause this. Open the Windows Firewall control panel and click on the Exceptions button to see if QT is being blocked.
    Also it could be permissions related. I recall with QT6.5 if the permissions were set to deny for QuickTime qtr and maybe the Temp folder in C:\Documents and Settings you would not be able to view a trailer at the Apple site.
    I'm not sure what permission files in QT7 would affect the trailer site I haven't got into the nuts and bolts of QT7 yet.

  • How to split Large mp4 and AVI video files to smaller scenes

    Hi All
    I’ve been looking into how to cut-up large files ready for import into CS4. So far all I can find are the usual suspects that only lets you cut a section from a file. Dose anyone use any software that enables you to split a large video file (MP4, AVI and so on) into say 20 sections all in one hit?
    I do a lot of HD onboard cams, so the video is set to fire and only shut off when the run has finished. I then end up with about 60 percent of the file (in diferent parts) I need to trash.
    Any help or advice would be much appreciated indeed!
    Xray

  • Itunes / Front Row mp4 and avi and xvid

    Hello.
    I have started collecting and moving my videos to my macbook.
    From my linux/windows days I have avi xvid/divx files.
    I have divx player installed on my mac and those files play fine if I click on them.
    They also will play if I put them in my movie folder and use front row.
    If I try to move avi and xvid to itunes. They will not import.
    I assume this is the case becuase itunes is only allowing files into itunes lib that will sync and play on a vid ipod?
    However with the move to appleTV and such there are those that are going to want a HQ video that maynot sync on ipod.
    Basicly, I just need to know what format I need to start experimenting as far as size/quality ratio so that I can move my vids to that format.
    Thanks for your help.

    Close... Quicktime has to be able to support the formats for them to be accepted into iTunes.

  • How do I play .mkv and .avi files?

    When I updated the OS to Yosemite MPlayerX stopped working. VLC Player and Handbrake aren't available in the app store. Does anyone know of any free media players? Why can't QuickTime handle these additional file types?

    I'd suggest installing 2 plugins for Quicktime: Perian and Flip4Mac. Perian can be downloaded here and Flip4Mac can be downloaded here. You could also try a different media player altogether. VLC is very popular and can play a wide range of different formats. Grab it here.
    I hope one of these solutions works for you.
