[Q] sending video via mms and email - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

every time i try to send a video via mms or text i cant because the file is to big. is there anyway to make the video smaller or do i need an app to resize the video files? thanks

If you know that your going to want to send the video via one of those methods, start off in one and select video with the attach clip. Then the video will automatically be compressed to fit into the MMS or Email. Of course, the video will look blocky and be limited to a certain time frame, but this will allow you to send the video.

Plugging the phone or sd card directly into my PC is what's worked best for me personally.

attach video to email

Hi
I have read online that while playing a video you should be able to press the three. ... symbol and choose share to attach the video to an email etc. I don't seem to get the three dots on my titan. Does it work for anyone else? Cheers si
I shot a short video, scrolled over to that video, hit the "triple-dot", hit "share", selected an email account and a blank email with the mp4 video attachment was created for me. If you try it that way does it work? Note that if I select a video from Skydrive I do not see the triple-dot. However, using the newly-released Skydrive app, you can email a link to a video (or picture or file).

thanks for the reply. Can't seem to get the triple dot anywhere where video is involved. Emailng a video is still beyond me!
is this a video you recorded on the phone or one that is on a site somewhere?
Not while you are playing a video. Before you play a video.
Go into your camera roll, tap a video to bring it up, and there should be the three dots on the bottom that allow you to share a video via e-mail, Facebook, and SkyDrive.
Note: Videos cannot be sent via MMS unless you are forwarding a video that has already been sent to you via MMS.

thanks, that was it. Just didn't think to do it that way. A little counter intuitive to have to go through photos to a video but now I understand

Sending Videos

Is there an app other than whatsapp that allows you to send videos? It sucks that you can't send videos with the stock messaging app

...I guess if they small enough. handcent will send larger files and videos if they can receive it. email always works too

[Q] Transfer of video files

Hey,
I wanted to know if there is a way to transfer video files from laptop to my phone , xperia P without converting the videos. Whenever i try to copy movies and music videos they ask for converting the videos before copying. After skipping the conversion part i was unable to play the video. It was lagging and getting stuck. And converting took several hours. Could anyone advise me if there is a possibility to transfer video files to android phone without converting. The very same video i am successfully able to download through my phone but not able to transfer to my phone. Requesting for your opinions and suggestions.
what s the resolution of videos u want to transfer?
Irrespective of the resolution all videos require conversion. for eg: recently i tried to transfer a video of matroska format 1280x544 pixels. Again the same thing popped up but when i downloaded the video through torrents it played without any problem. Even the smaller resolution ones too. Very few times and that too countable ones i was able to copy with out any trouble. For eg. once i transferred a video of 10MB size , mp4 format and it copied without conversion (sorry i don't remember the resolution of it) .

[Q] Uploading video for Snapchat story (no root)

Hello there! I've searched for an answer to this on the forum, but couldn't find anything. Similar threads were in this part of the forum, so I hope I've posted this in the right area.
I'm trying to upload a video that I've recorded using Snapchat as a story without rooting my HTC One. The video was recorded on the app, downloaded, and then sent as a one-time view video rather than added as a story at the time. This means the video resolution should be fine and that it doesn't need to be trimmed. I've had success sending the video again by:
- Recording a sample Snapchat video
- Using the Task Manager to swap to File Explorer
- Pasting my video into Snapchat's my_media folder
- Replacing the name of my video with the exact title of the sample video (including nomedia file extension)
However, when I try the same method for posting a story it shows my video on the app, but then says that it can't set the video as a Snapchat.
There's clearly something else that needs to be altered. There are sometimes sesrh_dlw prefixed files in the my_media folder with .mp4.nomedia extensions, but they can't be viewed as videos.
Does Snapchat take a note of the length and file size of the video and check whether it correlates when you try upload it as a story? And if so, why doesn't it do this when you send it as a one-time view video.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
it's very easy
You need to delete all the contents of the folder (mp4.nomedia and jpg.nomedia ).
Turn off the network and send a video to your history. Will be creat an file in the folder (/sdcard/Android/data/com.snapchat.android/cache/my_media/). This is your history. Copy the new video to this folder and rename with the history's name.
Turn on the network and resend the history.
P.S. I don't speak English
Does that work for the Snapchat story? I know it works for when you send videos individually to people in your contacts but couldn't find a way to upload a video for everyone to see as a 'story'.
