Is there a way to save videos made with the S2 to mp4 instead of 3gp format?
Because I always get an unsupported error message when streaming these videos via DLNA (IMS iMediaShare) from the S2 to a PS3.
The only workaround I found is to modify the video file using a hex editor and changing the header from ftyp3gp4 to ftypisom. But doing so on every file would take me forever. Is there a script I could write, or already existing, on the S2 to automate the process? What would I need?
Any help appreciated!

Xilisoft Video Converter Ultimate 5.1.22.0305
this program rocks.. i did it..
if anybody needs a convertor to work with HTC...
use teh blackberry mp4 preset. ;o)
Can also use SUPER... Freeware conversion software. Nothing flash, but works OK... Converts a pile of formats though from avi to matroska, MP3 to ogg...
The thing with MP4 is it's like AVI - you can have one of many formats inside the MP4 wrapper.
It might be that the MP4 file has an H.264 video stream and an AAC audio stream - try playing it with CorePlayer Mobile or the Omnia MP4 player. I'd suggest you try playing it on your computer first (with something like VLC or Media Player Classic) - that way you can see what codecs it's actually using, and if needed transcode the file to a format which your mobile phone can play.
Thats why I like SUPER. It has specific settings for a multitude of devices, PPC's are on the list. Its up to you to choose the size of the screen, the frame rate and audio codec used but I find it works well and fast.
Cheers...
Hi guys. can someone teach me how to stream video to my vibrant using dropbox?
I have several mp4 format videos in my dropbox but i can't stream it directly to my vibrant. It said "this video is not allow for streaming on a vibrant"
Do i have to be in a specific format for it to work? I thought vibrant can run on mp4.
When streaming video using the allshare app from a laptop to the sgs2, is there a way to enable viewing of mkv files on the sgs2?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I tried this myself using a custom DLNA client, but it seems that the allshare app doesn't support .mkv files even though the actual phone does play .mkv files (tested by actually throwing an .mkv into the phone's internal memory, plays like a dream...).
I suspect the app won't be able to run it regardless, your best bet is to try to get the file converted into a xvid .avi file, although the file will be larger than it is as an .mkv if you don't want a drop in quality.
I spent hours trying to get this to work, sadly no luck
I have found the same thing, allshare wont stream play most of my network video files (DLNA or SMB). I have to use a network file explorer (file expert, es file explorer, [astro smb doesnt work]) and then a player to stream it (rockplayer, moboplayer, mvideoplayer) Different combinations depending on the file format, size and if it has subtitles.
For me AllShare doesn't seem to work at all
I will try to flash a new rom.. Maybe this will help
hi
i was recording a video but then the phone fell off my hand and switched off. after i switched it back on the video was no longer in the gallery but when i plugged the phone to the pc i saw a temp_video in the camera folder. is there any way to access this file?
thank you
if you found the file already, you should probably try and copy it to the pc and play it in vlc media player. if that is capable of playing, you should be able to convert it to any format you like and have a properly repaired video then.
i cant play the file with vlc player. any other suggestions.
I got the same trouble. got the temp_video file with no extention.. tried to add a extention to it with no help(.mp4,.mpg,.avi,.mpeg).. tried VLC Player and it indeed show the codec as Mpeg1/2 video, but cannot play it..
Hope there is some way to recover this video..
Good luck to you too.
Temp file is not encoded = no extension + no codec. Then it is impossible to recover video from temp file. I'm sorry.
this means u haven't clicked the video record button again to stop recording and SAVE the videos .. which means the device didn't even save it , so this temp file is useless .. sorry for ur vid
I had this app on my phone that could record videos and take pics in secret. I recently bought the app to gain 1/3 access of it's functionality. Started to test the camcorder and looked it up in my sdcard directory. Played the video file but the notice came up as "Unable to play video file". I thought this was something that you can play only on my computer with any player software like Windows Media Player, VLC or Realplayer but GUESS I WAS WRONG. I ported over this "3GP" file from my phone to my computer, chose any video player software that can play this file and all off them failed. Classic Media Player tells me that there's a missing filter, Quicktime can't understand the file, RealPlayer says that I'm missing a "moov atom" and I have this FreeStudio software by DVDVideoSoft and tried to convert it but it told me that "Unable to convert format. File is DRM protected". Can anyone tell me what's going on here and is there anyway without going to some nefarious website for solutions?
