Streaming S2 videos to Sony PS3 does not work

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!

[Q] recorded video file retrieve

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

Any way to disable video preview?

So as you know, the stock video player has this feature which plays short clips of all the videos you have. This is great and all, but I find that when I insert my sd card which contains lots of mkv videos, it causes a horrible lag when opening the video player. I assume it's because the phone takes a while to generate previews for the mkv files, since it doesn't happen when I insert another sd card that contains just as many videos, but in other formats.
So, my question is, is there a way to disable the video preview? Like maybe editing a text file somewhere?

[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) .

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that s weird. I have no problems with videos on my sola with or without converting them. Try to convert videos in 600x320 resoltion, then they should not lag

[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'.
