Video format unsupported

I used to watch movies on my playbook. But after updating firmware when I try to play any video from the library I get an error that video format is not supported. Both .avi and .mkv videos are unplayable now, but they were working before the update. Why does this happen and is there a way to fix it?

Are these the exact same video files (the same titles) you were viewing previously or are they new video files? .avi and .mkv files are just containers and are dependent on how the videos were encoded in the first place. If the method of encoding the new files has changed then you could run into problems. There was a new OS update just released that fixed an issue with MP4 files. Also, what OS version are you running?
This is the official supported media types PDF on the PlayBook: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/27267/Supported_Media_Types_on_BlackBerr...

  • 1700 MXP Video Format Unsupported

    We are getting a "Video Format Unsupported" with our Cisco 1700 MXP.  We are able to connect and conference with distant end, but they are not receiving our video and we also don't have a self view, screen is black.  We have tried all of the video settings on the configuration menu.  Is it possible that the camera went bad or a cable is disconnected, or could it be something more serious with the Codec?  Unfortunately I'm not at the actual site where the Codec is located, but they told me thatt they have tried different format settings.  Please advise.  Thank you.

    Hi Giancarlo, Can you SSH to the MXP device and login with admin account when the call is connected and provide the below command output.
    1. xconfig
    2. xstatus
    Also is the far end device registered to same gatekeeper. Appreciate if you can share the network diagram with the network devices call flow details.

  • Mac Mini G4 Unsupported Video Format DVI to HDMI 42 Phillips 1080P LCD TV

    When connecting my Mac Mini G4 to my 42" Phillips 1080P LCD TV using a DVI to HDMI cable I get a message on the TV "Unsupported Video Format" message. I can connect my PowerBook G4 using the same cable and it connects great.
    One thing I have noticed is when connecting my Mini via DVI cable to my 17" LCD monitor the screen is a fated red. But using a VGA cable the screen is fine. I don't know if this is having to do anything with the issue of connecting to my LCD TV.
    Any suggestions?

    Make sure the connections are good and tighten down the thumb screws on all connectors. If two monitors are giving problems with DVI, it could be there is a hardware problem with the DVI port on the mini.
    Also, try starting in Safe mode (boot while holding down the shift key) and see if you get a useable screen in that case. If you still get the unsupported video format message, then that would further suggest some hardware problem with DVI.

  • Pre Lion iPhone videos show Thumbnail but can't play - new video generates Unsupported Video Format popup, no thumb but will play via quicktime

    This is really frustrating -
    Over the last year I have been uploading all of my photos and occasional iPhone video to Aperture 3 (latest version all patches in place).    Aperture would recognize the video, create a thumbnale and otherwise treat it nicely.
    Now, since upgrading to Lion I find that though I can "see" the old videos in their folders or projects and the associated Thunbnale, I can't play them - I either get the spinning color wheel and then nothing or Aperture will crash and report an error relating to Quicktime (sorry don't have an error code at the moment).
    If I try and export a video I can - but what I get also can't be played by Quicktime - just a black screen.  When I hit Play - the scroll bar moves, but there is no sound or video.
    From Final Cut Pro X, I can imoprt this exported video file and see that it appears complete - but FCPX uses it's own playback elements.
    If I shoot a new video on my iPhone, I find that I can see the thumbnale in the import option of Aperture when looking at the phone, but once imported I get a Popup telling me that it is an "Unsupported Video Format" - "Do you want to open this video clip with QuickTIme Player?"   If I hit Open then the clip does play, but the thumbnale remains a black square with the warning Exclamation Point.
    I have also had some issues with Lion Mail crashing when trying to play a video made on an iPhone and sent to me via email.   Seems more likley to be a Lion / Quicktime issue then an Aperture and Mail issue - but who knows.
    I spent 2.5 hours of quality time with the Genius bar this morning.  We reinstalled Lion and after that the suggestion was to trash and re-install Aperture, but that would require my disc and of coruse a trip home.   Mail doesn't seem to still have the issues with iPhone movies that it had - but Aperture is still not happy.
    Did as instructed and dragged Aperture 3 to the trash, did the empty trash option, restarted and reinstalled.   Then did a software update to catch the new update for Aperture and it found that.   Interestingly when I did start it up after that it DID NOT ask me for my key - so clearly some elements were left over.  
    Now upon retstarting Aperture 3 once again I find that I can still see my old movies (their thumbnails show up) but I still can't play them.   The new test movie is there but still generates the popup regarding it being an Unsupported Video Format.
    And it's not just my iPhone.   Video sent via email from another iPhone can play as an attachment, or when dragged and dropped to the desktop, but once imported into Aperture is once again proclaimed to be an Unsupported Video Format.  
    Hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this....

    For some reason it just started to work now. Have no idea what didn't work before.

  • Since upgrading to Lion, video from 7D shows as unsupported video format

    Video from my Canon 7D that used to work fine in Aperture now is showing as unsupported video format can anyone suggest a fix? Is this a Lion, Aperture, or Canon issue?

    What's the format of your video? That will give you a hint as to what plugin is failing (or missing).
    If you don't know, what's the URL of your site - it shouldn't take long for someone to work out the specifics.

  • Strange "Unsupported Video Format" Behavior

    Hi all;
    I just bought my TV 2 days ago and made the set up as the manual said. It is connected to my Philips 1080p HDTV (42PFL7432D/37) via HDMI plus there's a PlayStation3 also connected via HDMI. There are no HDMI switchers as the TV has 3 HDMI ports.
    Normally I turn on the HDMI source before the TV, but with my TV I get "+unsupported video format+" message using the HDMI cable. With component cables I have no problems so far.
    Last night I was downloading a demo from the PlayStation Network and tried the TV and it was working (via HDMI) - no messages. Rented "+No Reservations+" and saw it with no problems.
    For some reason if I want to use the TV via HDMI, I have to turn on the PS3 first, select it from the TV's menu, then from TV's menu again select the port to which the TV connects.
    I have already contacted Philips via e-mail regarding this issue as I saw on their support page they where having the same problem with some DirectTV H20-100 satellite boxes connected to the TV via HDMI. Probably will have an answer in 24 hrs.
    I've read a lot of threads posted here of people having issues with the update. I echo their voices.
    Have anyone noticed this?
    I'll keep you updated with Philip's response.

    Hi David,
    I called Philips' Customer Service and after a long conversation going over on what I've already tried, they decided to schedule a service appointment. The technician came over and told me he had the exact same problem with customer's 5... in. Philips TV. He took the unit with him because he has to disassemble the TV in order to get card's (I don't know if it is Video or HDMI) number as there are like 5 different ones.
    For me it makes sense this is a faulty card issue because before calling customer service I connected the TV and the PS3 to another Philip TV I have (32PF9630A/37) using the HDMI ports and it worked fine.
    I'm supposed to have the unit back this week. I'll keep you updated.
    You might try calling Philips. They gave a service reference code that if they would like to have in order to track a "faulty card" shipment, I can give it to you.

  • "unsupported video format" - Aperture 3

    After importing my iPhoto library into Aperture 3, many of my older mpeg video clips appear with an "unsupported video format" image. These same video clips play just fine within iPhoto. To make things worse, Aperture doesn't seem to offer any way to play the files with an external application, nor does it allow me to export or drag & drop the files to my desktop.
    I'm hoping and assuming that this is some small glitch that will be corrected soon, but if by some chance it's not, I need to know now before I
    1) decide whether to purchase Aperture 3 and
    2) delete my old iPhoto library
    What are the chances of getting an official answer from Apple before **** freezes over? I don't mean to sound bitter, but after waiting for 2 whole years for an Aperture update I'm more than a bit leery of Apple's level of support for the product.

    "Here's the work around that I used:"
    Thanks, that was really nice of you to provide this workaround. Unfortunately, I have dozens - maybe hundreds of these video clips scattered across hundreds of photo albums. So it would not be very practical to find, convert, edit metadata, and reimport all of these. That's just way too much trouble.
    "No idea why Apple did not chose to support all formats. I thought that quicktime provided the video engine. "
    I totally understand where this is coming from. Aperture doesn't just organize and play these files. It's letting you edit and embed them in slideshows, hence the higher standard. As I mentioned previously, I totally understand if I can't edit or create slideshows with these older files, but at the bare minimum I need Aperture to display their thumbnails, allow me to play them (external player ok), and allow me to drag and drop to copy them to the desktop or an external drive when desired.
    I suspect they thought of this but decided against the inconsistent user experience some might encounter. I care more about keeping all my files together than about the inconsistent experience.
    If they wanted to handle this elegantly, Aperture could display an incompatible file notice only when attempting to edit these...

  • Unsupported Video Format

    I have 3.1.3 version of Aperture and am running Lion. Since the upgrade movies I shoot on the iPhone are showing in Aperture as "Unsupported Video Format" and I cannot view them.
    Sure one would think that and Apple phone and Apple software would work properly on an Apple computer.
    I have an iMac 3.3ghz with 4mb ram

    Yep I also fixed the problem by uninstalling 3ivx.
    See: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15714152#15714152
    Basically remove the 3ivx component from /Library/Quicktime then restart the machine. Recently imported movies from my iPhone had to be reimported to work, but after these steps the movies are working normally again!
    The annoying part was that I needed to delete the videos and re-import into Aperture to get them to play.
    Everything seems to work OK now.

  • Unsupported Video Format (AC3)

    Hi there!
    I have a lots of videos which is converted from MTS files to MP4, with help of Turbo.264HD. I was trying to put my videos in to Aperture 3, most of files was not any problem, but for approximately 10% of all files I get black image with text "Unsupported Video Format (AC3)". I was trying to reconvert these files, but still the same problem.
    Is it any one who has the same problem?
    All videos is from Canon HD cam, I used the same preferences for all video files.

    Is this when you are trying to stream content from your computer (home-sharing)? Is the movie file in a compatible format?
    no. it is a message appearing on the TV when the OP connects the appletv.

  • Youtube: unsupported video format

    I just came across a video on youtube that my iPad wouldn't play. It said the video format was not supported. It's a video that was just uploaded today so I assume it's a new feature in the compression that the iPad doesn't understand (yet).
    The same video plays just fine on any normal computer even on my Linux box running Firefox.
    The interesting thing: now my iPad will not even list this video any more, even though I subscribed to the uploader's account. It seems to filter it from my view. If you want to give it a try here is the video.(it's just a short dance performance)
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tX3rEqssLso

    I was going to say the something about copyrighted music in a YouTube video. YouTube will allow copyrighted music in a video if the holder of the copyright allows it. But there's a catch to this... The copyright holder attaches a link to buy the music. For some reason this link makes the video unplayable on the iPad.
    I haven't investigate to why this is so... The link might be flash or java base and the iPad doesn't support these formats. And YouTube won't let you circumvent this... So, no video.
    Isn't the digital age fascinating!

  • HT1473 No error when adding inappropriate video format to iTunes

    When I choose unsupported video format it tells nothing and just ignore my request. I spent 2 hours struggling with that you call "user friendly" interface. Completely disappointed...

    You have to convert them to MPEG-4 files to play them back to your iPod. I suggest using Videora iPod Converter to re-encode your video files to MPEG4

  • What kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

    what kind of video formats can i use to import into imovie?

    Hello,
    Adobe stopped supporting flash for android since ICS. You may still be able to download the latest (old) flash player "at your own risk" from Adobe archived flash player versions:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    Please read the disclaimer at the end as it is not advised to install unsupported flash versions.
    As for video streaming, there are lot of apps for that and it's just a matter of your preference.
    Hope that helps
