You need to find the full format information on these dotmp4 files then find a player if not convert .

You say they won't even play on the phone now? Sounds like they have been corrupted somewhere along the line.
I suggest shooting a new video and retry the transfer process and see if you can identify how they got corrupted

[Q] Transfer files??

Morning all
Just got my tab 10.1 yesterday, rooted and installed overcomes ROM this morning. For the life of me I cannot copy over any MKV files as i want to put my files on the damned thing. I've had a quick search through and it seems most people can do it somehow its just no one has given a fool proof way of doing it as far as i can see (i know i will be wrong there)
I have tried to use recovery usb mount but that just doesn't work and every time i use the mtp is just crashes windows explorer.
Please can someone tell me there is a way i can get my files onto my tablet?
any help is greatly received

MTP crashes Explorer.exe? Thats really weird. Sounds like you have bad drivers. Uninstall and reinstall your Samsung drivers and try again.
Another option is to get the USB connector piece that allows you to connect and view the contents of a USB drive with a file manager app straight from the tablet.
One more option is Dropbox. Its a personal file sharing software that lets you see your files from any device with internet. Just drop the files from your computer into your dropbox folder and they will automatically upload online. You can then go to www.dropbox.com and sign in to see these files. Android devices have a Dropbox app, so you don't even have to open the browser, all your files are right there in a folder on your homescreen for you.
If you don't have a dropbox account, Click Here to Sign Up You get 2gigs of free storage space.
rename the extension .mkv to something else like .abc and it should work.

I should have said I renamed. The mkv in question was only 850mb and it crashes. However an mp4 of 1.4gb works fine. All be it it asks me to convert it first.
I'll try and remove the drivers and reinstall and see if that works when I finish work.

[Q] Can't Find Downloads...

This may be the wrong place to post this but here goes anyway. I have downloaded music and pictures, from my computer onto my Streak 5 but I can't find them. I find some of the pictures but the music is not anywhere on the phone, that I can find. What am I doing wrong? Thanx, in advance, for the help. P.S. what is the latest software version that the Streak 5 will run and how do I apply it? I am running 2.2.1 and I am very ' Technology Challenged '. Thanx again...
Where did you put them on your sdcard?
It should be:
<sdcard>\music
<sdcard>\video
OR
<sdcard>\media\video (or something)
It depends on your player, the built in music app and gallery app will search the entire sdcard, but it checks those listed places first.
are there any files named ".nomedia"? If there is, android will skip any folders with that file in it during it's checking.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Thank you for the reply and help, but it still didn't work. When I try to download, it tells me that these files already exist but I can't fine them. Is there a special way to download and apply these? If so, would you mind explaining. I just connected my Streak to my PC with the data cable and downloaded. Evidently I did it wrong... I see nothing on my Streak that looks like the info that you sent me. Sorry to be so much trouble. Thanx, Barry.
What method did you use to "download" them? Going from your PC to your Streak should be more of a copy operation as opposed to a download.
Are you using an app to facilitate moving the files? If so, which one?
Marvin02, I guess I copied from PC file to ' removable disk ', instead of downloading, like you said. I am not using an app, just straight copy from PC. Thanx...

TapeMachine MP3 codec

Does anyone have the file to enable MP3 recording for the TapeMachine Android APP?
I bought the full version but unfortunately the mp3 codec was offered free under a download link outside of the Android Market. As a result, once the company went out of business, I can no longer download the plug-in.
Does anyone still have this file?
Edit:
File can be found here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62403106&postcount=13
found: http://multiupload.com/8UWYNTQSUT
this is free software that only works with the fully licensed version of TapeMachine Android App.
File Name: tapemachine-mpeg-codec-r1.zip
the TapeMachine's website is working again , so you can download the mp3 codec using the Tapemachine software
Sorry for pushing such an old thread but http://tapemachine.samalyse.com/ seems down again. Does anybody would provide the mp3 codec pack?
Thanks alot in advance!

It's been down for a couple weeks now. Not looking good, but for someone has the zip handy because I could use it too.

Thanks for posting the link to the files, however, I cannot find any way of installing the codecs and making Tapemachine app work with mp3s. There doesn't seem to be any instructions on the internet for this. Is it possible to install the codecs without rooting your phone ?
If anyone could reply here with instructions, would really help.
In case the dropbox link above to the files disappears, I have reposted it here:

Just select the zip with your file browser (I'm using total commander) and choose "open with" (or something like this), then there should be appear "TapeMachine - Codecs". TapeMachine should install the codecs then. In Settings of TapeMachine you can choose mp3 as codec. Hope I could help!
I'm bummed, both of the links are no good anymore. Does anybody still have this file?
The multiupload link wants to install software, and the dropbox link gives a cute 404 error.
Thanks if you got it...

I've attached you the codecs originally provided by klau1.
Hope it helps!
man, i wish this would work. the ZIP doesn't open with TapeMachine and no "TapeMachine - Codecs" appears. i found /storage/emulated/0/.tapemachine/cache/codec/ but nothing i do there works. i can't believe i accidentally deleted TapeMachine and now MP3 is completely hosed!

Hi,
I've just tried to import the codec again and it worked perfectly (both my local archived zip and the uploaded zip here). Just download the file with your mobile, choose "open with" in your file manager and there should appear a program "TapeMachine - Codecs" whichs imports the zip.
got it!
thank you for confirming! i had moved the zip to my device from a desktop download, but when i used the DL link from the device, it worked without opening a file manager at all. :good:
The website has been down for a few months now, not sure if the Samalyse went out of business. There is no way to authorize the MP3 codec without his server up and running. The tape machine I purchased two years ago still works fine in my old phone, However, in my Samsung note 4 is another story. You can still download the app from the market but it does not allow one to upgrade. Really a shame! There is nothing better outhere. Keep our finger crossed. I hope he is okay. I corresponded with him when he first created the app and had a very nice experience. His company is located in Paris, France

I have the file you're requesting also, but to install it, it will ask you for your original 8 character code. After you enter it, it will try to connect to the server to validate the code. If the server is down you can't do nothing.
Sorry.

I have a song I have to learn for band practice tomorrow because I'm a horrible procrastinator, and I just wanted to say thanks for this link. This is the only place on the internet that I was able to successfully find and install the codec.
To answer your question...
Tap the zip on your phone to open it and TapeMachine should be an available option for opening it. If it's not then you will need to uninstall whatever you normally use for zips and try again. The app should open the zip and install the codec without much issue.
hi folks does anyone know how to change the default folder to the external card on marshmallow with this fantastic app? having no luck so far.
Me too. Tapemachine seems not to be able to read or write sd card i perfectly use with camera app i.e.
Do anyone have fixed this?

[Q] How can I find lost pictures on my phone? As in, how can I locate them?

So I sync music from my music to my phone through DoubleTwist AirSync and DoubleTwist sends pictures and videos from my phone to my computer. Every time it syncs, DoubleTwist tells me some files didn't sync and it says "failed (unknown error)". It used to be 11 or 13, but I've gotten it down to 4 by scavenging through Root Explorer looking for the files that give errors and I've found and deleted some, but I can't find these last 4. All 4 are errors from importing FROM my device, not to it, so it must be something on my phone.
My question is basically, how can I find these pictures?
Also, on a side note, I found a file logo.mp4 which was giving a DoubleTwist error and my phone couldn't open it, so I just deleted it, but could it have been something important? I don't think it was in a sub-folder. I think it was just in the root of the SD Card.
Anyway, if anyone could help, I'd greatly appreciate it!

If you have the file names of the pics try the search function of the root explorer, searching from the root directory ( / ).

It's Recuva, from I think piriform.
They have free version and paid software.

SD Data Lost

I've somehow lost all the data on my sdcard.
Device is an LG G2 D802, running stock lollipop 5.0.2
I had my phone hooked to pc and all was OK.
Then I tried accessing a folder (after being ble to) and an error popped up on windows, I can't remember what, something along the lines of "the device cannot be accesses".
I then disconnected the USB...without first clicking safely remove...so, yes, it probably is my own fault.
Please don't point this out!
How can I retreive my data. I'm more concerned about pictures and videos.
I've tried a few apps, but aren't having much success.
A lot of files don't display correctly
Any help is appreciated
Anyone got any advice?

I have a great working solution for you.
I know a computer software that can extract your images, videos and everything in its original form.
It works on windows.
You have to connect your SD card with the help of card reader.
(Scan and recover)
Below is the direct download link for the software.

(Just copy above and paste it in your browser)

Hi thanks.
But as my device doesn't physically have an sdcard, its a virtual card as far as in aware.
And the back of the phone doesn't come off.
When I connect to PC the phone shows as a device, not a drive

Yeah, like I say in OP, ive tried a few, but either the files arent recover or they don't show properly. They display either half the picture, or just as a big grey block
