Video sent by email does not play on desktop

Hello. My service provider is Verizon. And clearly after a long call, they do not know the answer.
They walked me through a lengthy reprogram of my Storm 9530, which accomplished nothing.
When I send via email these .3GP videos made by the Storm, the video is not able to play on the desktop pc, after double-clicking. Manually selecting on Windows Media Player does not work, either. There is obviously a compatiblity issue. So the question is, how does one make .3GP videos compatible for play on a standard windows desktop? It does no good to be able to email, if the recipient cannot view. Thank you in advance.

I have managed to get the video to play.

Videos sent as email attachment not playing on iPhone. Even videos taken by iPhone. If rcvd via SMS I have no problem viewing. HELP

I am having issues viewing videos on Iphone that have been sent to me as email attachments, it's just a black screen. If I get them via SMS I can see them.

Tbo6652,
The video has to be in the proper format for the iPhone to play it correctly. As taken from the [iPhone Tech Specs|http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html] page:
Video formats supported: H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Low-Complexity version of the H.264 Baseline Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; H.264 video, up to 768 Kbps, 320 by 240 pixels, 30 frames per second, Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
Hope this helps,

Video created in Garageband does not play in dropbox

Hello,
I am pulling out my hair trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I created a video that I shot playing my drums using a camcorder and also recorded sound with my ipad. I placed all in Garageband. I also included a third music clip from my itunes library.
I exported it to itunes after I was done and it plays perfectly in itunes and QT player no problem.
However, when I upload to dropbox, just my movie with the original shot sound plays not the added music clips.
Note: I've always been succesful using just imovie to do all this but got frustrated with adding multiple sound clips and synching them. I found that it is much easier arranging the sound clips in GB.
But if don't work, it's no good.
Can anybody tell me what I can try? I can provide more detail if needed.
Thanks.

Ok.
As I mentioned, I learned that it was much easier to align various sound clips in GB than trying to do this in iMovie.
So after making a project, I sent it to itunes exported as "Full Quality" and it played nicely in itunes.
But playing it outside of itunes, the video had my original footage and sound but did not play my added sound clips.
So this time I exported as "ipod" and everything was contained.
Maybe someone smarter than I can say why this is? I just wanted the best possible quality. That's why I chose full quality.
I think that I should have been given a warning that said something like "choosing this format will result in a loss of added sound clips" or something like it. This would have saved me hours of experimenting.
But anyway I'm good for now.

Video behind http authentication does not play in Safari on iOS8.

Videos (quicktime and probably others) that are sitting behind http authenticated sites do not play properly in IOS8. This is true even with the new 8.0.2. When clicking on the mov file, Safari starts the integrated player (the player with the play button), but nothing plays and you can't press the play button.
Since I have access to the Apache web server that serves up the video, I can see what's happening on the backend. I see that Safari or the iOS video player Safari starts up fails to pass the authentication credentials to the server. I see a bunch of http 401 error messages (failed authentication) in the logs. When moving the same video to a not authenticated site, iOS8 does the right thing.
iOS7 (and before) and Safari on OSX does the right thing on authenticated sites. It authenticates properly with the server and plays the video.
Chrome on iOS8 also doesn't work either. Safari and Chrome use different versions of webkit, so I'm assuming its the video player that the browsers call on that's not passing the authentication off to the web server when making the http request.
Anyone else run into this problem or have a workaround? I reported this as a bug, but Apple hasn't acknowledged it yet.

I also have the same Exact Problem, only your explanition appears more technical and understandable. This problem appears more severe on YouTube.com videos and alike, however it is also severly choppy and problematic on other sites. Surprisingly Live Broadcast videos work better than not Live videos, however this is not something I'd like when my data isn't throttled yet. I crosstested it to see if there is any issues on my iPhone 4S (iOS 6, last version) and Galaxy S4 (Android Kit Kat, last version on S4) and there is no issues on those devices so it is an iOS 8(+0.1/0.2) and iOS 8.1 problem and I am 100% confident about it.
I do think it is the video player's problem with Websites and Webstreaming. There is no problems playing music videos on my device's storage. I didn't get that many error messages but it just doesn't play properly on Safari and Chrome, like what you are experiencing too. I may go ahead and report it too because it is gotten to a point where it is annoying to watch videos. It is not just an over 4G (+ or - LTE) only issue, it is also via Wifi even so it is a tad better. I can't tolerate playing a video 15 seconds in, have to wait 15 more seconds for it to play, it plays to 0:35 then I have to wait 15 more seconds. Even a 240p video, it does it so, it is clearly not a tolerable bug. I don't have a work around so far (tried everything from reset to wipe the phone and reinstall all the apps).
My Device is an iPhone 6+ with iOS 8.1 (yes, it is not just exclusive to the iPhone 5S. I assume it also effects the iPhone 6 based on technical specifications).

Videos sent via mms are not playing on iPhone 4s.

My nephew has iphone 4s just like me. when i send him mms videos he says they won't play. I send the same video to my husband's 4s and no problem. I think my nephew's settings are the issue but I am not sure what to tell him. He lives in another state so I can't look at his settings. What should my nephew look for in his settings to allow videos to play?

Sending an iPhone video via email doesn't change the quality... It is still a pixelated mess. I'm thinking carriers have nothing to do with it. Plus it still doesn't explain better quality videos I've experienced with previous phones using the same carrier. (I have to use a downloaded app to make videos crisp quality then upload it to the computer) It's the phone.

Video in Flash player does not play in C6

I have purchased Nokia C6-00, but in this phone videos do not play in Flash player. It gives me warning message that flash player required to play this video. On flash player site, it is mentioned that android 2.2 is required to install Flash player on your mobile.
How is it possible to play video in flash player on Nokia C6-00?

Symbian anna (new software version) update is available for C6-01 and C7 but there is no software update for C6-00 (with QWERTY keypad).
I am eagrly waiting for software update for C6-00. At least to provide support of FLASH LITE 4.0 so that flash video can be played on C6-00 handset.
I am facing one more problem with Skype utility on C6-00. I have installed latest Skype version on my mobile but even with 3.5G network speed, Skype login does not work.
When ever I sign-in on Skype, it will become idle in between signing process and nothing is happened and after frustration I have to close Skype application.

Mp4 video on mac powerpoint does not play on windows comp

Can you be more specific?
What videos? What are you using to try to play them?

Video on particular websites does not play.

Video doesn't play on sites like Fox.Com. I don't get a warning, pop up or the like. They do, however, play on Maxthon and other browsers. I cleared by cache, reinstalled and all the other typical hullabaloo to no avail.

Macbook Pro does not play audio part of video

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (early 2013 with OS 10.10.1).
A colleague sent me a video file, which was originally recorded in MTS format. The sound portion of it does not play on my machine, although it generally can handle MTS. I have a colleague with a Windows PC, for him the audio plays ok. I have another colleague with an older MBP, for him the audio also plays ok. But then I have two more colleagues with a newer MBP like me, and for none of us the audio plays at all. The strange thing is that I can open the file in various editors such as Premiere, Audition, or Logic Pro, and they would all show the waveform of the audio, even the VU meters react normally, but there still is no audible sound.
On the machines that play the sound, we have tried converting the video and exporting the audio portion into various other formats, but with the very same result. None of them play sound for me. This is extremely weird and we have no answer what could be the problem.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot & best regards,
Rainer

Hi Eric,
thanks for the reply.
As I said, we had tried several editors and players, as well as all kinds of formats, using all kinds of converters, but so far to no avail.
The AAC codec is a common codec for the Mac, so there should be no need to convert it. I have videos with that codec that play ok. It already turned out that converting the video file to other formats does not make any difference.
But thanks anyway,
Rainer

HT201412 Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.

Sound works (songs) on Ipad 2 but sound on videos (example utube) sound does not work. Video plays with no issue.Mute us not checked in general settings. Reboot (off/on) has not helped. Deleted apps and reloaded them. Did not help. Any other suggestions thank you

If you lose sound for games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Video does not play on external plasma monitor

Forum
Here is my situation.
I received footage captured with a Panasonic HVX-200, the specs are:
29.97fps, Compressor: DVCPRO HD 720p 60, frame size: 960x720
I use an Intensity Pro video card for monitoring on a 42" Samsung LCD. When the Intensity Pro card is set to HDTV 720p 60 (1280x720) the video does not play on the LCD, all I get is a still frame. When the Intensity Pro card is set to Intensity NTSC 720x486, it plays on the LCD but it's not at its best quality. The footage always plays fine in the FCP Canvas and Viewer windows.
Any ideas on what may be going on?

YOu need to be using DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94...and whatever DECKLINK header that is there for the card. I use the Kona 3, so mine is AJA KONA DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94. 59.94 because no matter what frame rate you shoot, the video stream is a 59.94 stream to the monitor.
I hope that does it. No experience with the Intensity.

Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

Failing that, you will need to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for inspection: http://nokia.com/support

FCPX does not play 120fps GoPro video

What should I do as my FCPX is not playing 120fps GoPro 3+ videos. Quicktime plays them well and shows that they are 120fps. Final cut does not play them at all. They just appear as still images. I tried to import original videos form camera and also as "optimized videos". No difference...
Thanks in advance!

There is a workaround to copy the media to Finder, and then import those files into FCPX. Here’s a tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP3y9-MqHko
