playing video's

Post by davect01 »

I am so confused at the moment.

I have several videos in .AVI that I can not get to play through the SD Card. I can get them to store and play on my internal storage, but when I store them to the SD Card, nothing.

That's not a lot of information to go by. Do you mean you can find them but they don't play or you can't even find them?

Do you get an error message when you play them?
What are the specs of the video file? How are they encoded?

I play H.264 videos from both my internal storage and my micro SD card all the time. I have not experienced a problem like this.

Have you tried rebuilding your media library?

Not sure what the specs mean, but here they are.
800x480 MPEG-4 2.7 Mbps AAC 192Kbps 48KHZ

I have been using this software:

They show up and are playable from the internal storage. On the SD Card, they show up, but the player says it is not a supported format.

How large is the file size? Is it in the gigabytes?

If your file is around 2GB or more it sounds like a filesize problem.

Huh, that might be something to look at.
