[Q] "Sorry this video cannot be played" - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello guys. I went to a concert last night and I recorded some videos from my Galaxy S3. Two of them are fine. The rest five when I am trying to play them I get the message "Sorry, this video cannot be played". Do you have any idea why is this happening??
Thank you for your help

The file got corrupted so you've lost those videos, but try playing in Pc first.

I get this when trying to play some files via "play movies"
Yet if I get to it by "my Files-extSdCard-Movies" it plays just fine.
Wierd

May be the file extension is not supported.

I tried and same happens. Is there anything I can do to not happen again and recover the videos?

Recording on internal memory seems to reduce corrupted videos but nothing you can do to stop it, and I've heard of programs to recover corrupted videos but don't know any off hand.

[Q] Rooted GS2 not playing its own videos???

After spending all day with about 10 iphone owners(and bragging about the S2's greatness), I nearly captured a hilarious moment last night, in 1080p glory...untill I tried to find the video in my gallery and play it.
I clicked the video and got an error of "unsupported file type". It recorded as a 3GPP file, but not a clue as to why a brand new phone wont play videos it recored seconds earlier. I tried recording a few more and switching the decoder options.. "Sorry this video cannot be played.".
Anyone seen this and wanted to save me from buying an iphone out of frustration?
Not sure. Mine is rooted as well and records in 3gpp. Recorded about 5min straight yesterday and the whole thing plays back great on my phone, computer, and youtube. Try putting the video on your computer. If it doesn't play there as well it may have gotten corrupted during saving it. Weird things can happen.
A good test would be to take another video and see if it plays. For your sake I hope it does.

Are you saving it to your external memory card? Perhaps the card is corrupted or failing? If you are saving it to external memory, try a different card or (at least temporarily) save the video to the internal memory card and see how that goes.

Transfered recorded videos playback problem

Hello all!
I'm facing a really weird issue here. I spent the last hour googling for it but no one really had a solution for it... here's the problem:
I record a video with my phone (running stock rom by the way). I can watch the video on the phone, it plays smoothly and everything.
So now I want to watch the video on the computer but it just doesn't work. Whenever I open the videos (WMP, VLC, etc) the video just freezes and I only hear the sound. It doesn't matter if I open up the video from the SD card, Internal Memory or if I copy it locally to my computer harddisc.
I tried playing around with the resolution settings on the phone (1920x1080, etc) but even on the lowest setting the video keeps freezing when I want to watch it on my computer.
Believe me, it's not the computer it has more than enough ressources and power to be able to play a Full HD video.
Does anyone have a solution or a workaround for this problem? It would be highly appreciated...
Greetings from Switzerland.

Your PC needs the correct codecs to output the video files. Google for codecs.

Dude VLC Player is totally able to play MP4 files... it played ANY video file so far. Like I said, I really don't think it's a computer issue, I can play MP4 files on that machine... just not the ones from the phone...
Search XDA SGS2 somebody asked the exact same question . From memory the answer was the format used to record .

[Q] Sort songs by number

Silly quesiton, but it'd appear that since moving to ics I can't sort songs inside their album by their track number (in the stock samsung music player), they are sorted alphabetically and I can't find where I can change that...
Can anyone tell me what I'm overlooking? Thanks!
ciao credo che non ci sia un'impostazione per quello che dici tu, pero potresti editare i titoli delle canzoni aggiungendo prima (#), #=numero
Spero di esserti stato d'aiuto (se si premi thanks)
Before moving to the ICS official rom I had them sorted by their number metadata just fine tho... I really dont want to rename a million songs when they have their track number just fine in their mp3 metadata :/
Rocket Player
I use Syncr to sync music from iTunes to my SGS2, and I have encountered this problem with AAC files in the past. I previously used Mediafix to solve the problem, but it doesn't seem to be working in ICS.
I have just tried Rocket Player, and it seems to parse the metadata correctly.

Do You have your song in internal memory. Sometimes players have problem with that. Try to use other palyer for a test

They are likely corrupted. Try playing them with VLC and MPC-HC.

It did not work, I realised that it happened because of the greyleshy's kernel. I need those videos
