Hello,
I recently recorded a video with my HTC M9. Then I pressed on stop, to stop and save the recorded video, but while the saving-procedure my battery died. Later at home I tried to play the video, but it seems corrupt. I transferred the the file to my Mac, and tried it with serveral players, but I cannot play it. The video was about 6-7 minutes long, and the file is about 1GB.
I tried to fix it with the App MP4Fix, which replaces the header files with some of some other video recorded with the phone, but it didn't help.
I tried converting it, but this also didn't work.
What else can I do to fix it, so I can play it?
If there is someone who can help, if explanation is too long, I can upload the file and send a link.

Hello again,
I set up a Virtual Machine and installed serveral software. Digital Video Repair by Rising Research helped me out.
Nevertheless, thanks

I recently tried posting a video to YouTube that was taken from the standard camera app on my Eris. When posted to YouTube, the audio codec is messed up. Normal speech comes out massively garbled and then the audio cuts out about a minute in. I converted the 3gp file to an avi on my PC but it comes out tilted 90 degrees when I do that. Does anybody know of a way of sharing a video to youtube and have the audio work properly?
I had the same problem. The only thing i found that fixes it was to just delete the video and upload it again. might take a couple times to fix though. somebody might have the issue solved.....i usually upload through my gallery and not the youtube app, i dont have any problems when uploading from there
I did the exact same things. I even took the file down to my PC and uploaded it from there. It seems like YouTube is not supporting the file format. It plays fine on the phone and plays fine on my PC using quicktime. I uploaded the original video several times and another one and the problem kept happening. I'm also uploading from the gallery by clicking share>YouTube. Any other ideas>
ok here is what i have found out. with my stock video recorder - the sounds comes in for split second then the video just stays on a single frame and doesnt move but the video bar on bottom shows its playing. So then i tried with the Miui camera app i have installed - it plays the video just perfect BUT with no sound. Right now im looking into apps on the market to replace the stock camcorder, found one but it forcloses on me after recording. Its called "anCorder" try it out it might work for u. I know for a fact that the app called "videocam Illusion" does upload to Youtube and does upload just great with no problems.
Thanks Ricky. I will try those.
Ancorder definitely FCed just as you end your video recording. Videocam illusion did great in a small upload test. I noticed the format was .mov instead of .3gp so I think that helped.
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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
swapped out my sd card and now its working...guess the file structure is messed up on my old SD.

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.
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 .

Already tried but I'll try again. Thanks!
EDIT: Just searched again but I didn't find the mentioned thread... anyone got hints?
Hope this is the right section...
I use the Samsung preinstalled audio recorder on my SGS2. It's a nice app, but when it crash, or when i put in pause a recording, instead of stopping it, and for any reason i connect the galaxy to the pc as mass storage memory, the unfinieshed recording file result in a corrupted .3ga file (to be exact, the file remain in the root of the memory with the following name: ".voice.3ga"). This file can't be played. And as a .3ga, i wasn't able to find a repair tool that works fine with this extension/codec. But i'm sure the audio file is stored in this ".voice.3ga", because it is 26 mb.
Did you ever experienced crashes of Samsung recorder during recording action? How can i recover the corrupted ".voice.3ga" file?
Please help me: it is an important recording!
No one can help???
Google /XDA search might help.
One such XDA post changed file name to .mp3

I tried google and xda search before opening this 3d: XDA is always my last chanche/resource, when i find nothing out there... I saw the 3d you are refferring to, but was not helpful: it wasn't about a corrupted .3ga file. I also tried changing the extension .3ga to .mp3 just to use mp3 repair tool (for example to delate the header and give a clean to the file), but it didn't work. Only a specific software that repair .3ga file can work (or, at least, a workaround to recover/close correctly the record on the Galaxy S2), but i found nothing until now.
Thanks for the info.
Still in trouble...
Same issue
Hi,
I am having the same problem. I recorded our concert last Saturday on my Samsung Galaxy S3 using the standard recording application, which I have used many times before.
As usual the file has a .3ga extension and it is 100 Mo, which is realistic for about 2 hours of recording.
When I rename it on my computer to .3gp and try to play it with the VLC player, I can see that its length is 1 hour 57 minutes. But VLC does not play it. No error message.
I did the exactly the same procedure last Thursday and last Friday: I can read those previous recordings without any problem. so something went wrong with this last recording and I am trying to repair the file.
I have tried to convert the file to another audio format using a converter online : it did not work. The target file is empty.
I have also tried to repair the file by renaming it as .3gp and using a program called Video Repair with a reference file (the recording of the day before). No success. I get an error message with "movdump.exe".
So right now all my trials to repair this audio file have failed.
Has anyone already experienced this problem... and solved it?

I never found a solution for the corrupted files. Now i have SGS3, and seems to suffer of the same problem.
What i can suggest for the future recordings, to avoid this problem, is to ensure that the recording app is not in background, or at least that android "understand" that the recorder app must have priority in ram allocation. Because i think that is the lack of ram in this 2 devices (coupled with poor ram management by android OS) that cause the issue. So what can you do to minimize the issue?
1) if possible take the recorder app active (not in background)
2) if you need to put the appa in background, use the home buttone to go to the recent app, and tap on the recording app. Do this twice, and android will give an higher priority to the recording app, also if it at the end of this procedure you press "Home" and the recording app goes in backgroung. I guess that in such way android understand that when it reallocate ram from unused apps, it hasn't to recall it from recording app.
3) close telephone (better to close all connections) and mute the volume.
4) do not open (too many and too heavy) apps.
Sorry if i can't help more.....
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
