Videos stop playing after 1-2 seconds, but sound doens't.

[Anducks]

I loaded about 4 gigs worth of videos (About 160 different clips) onto my 8 gig SD card. When I try to play a video, the video freezes after about 1-2 seconds, but the sound keeps playing.

Is there any way to solve this? There's just over 3 gigs of free space on the card.

Have the same problem. Trying to trouble shoot now

If you find a fix, let me know.

Have you tried playing it on an alternative video player on the android market?

This thread needs more attention!

I am having this problem from movies I download from other sites. My personal vids look and play great. The DL ones don't.

If a primary feature of the phone doesn't work it si a huge factor for me. ANYONE have any ideas?

I downloaded a few movies from blackberryreadyvids.com and haven't had any trouble playing them through the stock player in the album. I haven't transferred any home movies yet but have taken some vids with the phone and they play fine as well.

I didn't see this post or I would have just posted here. I am having the same problem. Is there a fix for this?

What player would fix it?

 

[HunterJohnson]

i tried a few of the free players from the market( i searched for video and downloaded about 5) and none of them worked.

I would click on a video link on a website and it would open and the problem would occure still. I gave up after trying about 5 different apps from the market.

This doesn't sound good.

 

[HunterJohnson]

your right it doesnt. I was reading another thread about Media Messages being split between there sounds and video when recieved from others. I think this might have something to do with this.

Part of the Internet is watching videos. If this doesn't work, then that takes away half the purpose for data package!

 

[jaybigboy34]

Bump. Has anyone figured out a fix for this yet?

 

[McFluffnStuff]

Bumping this because my dad has the same problem. He transferred his old phone's videos onto the Eris but theyre not playing and he's getting disgruntled.


Anybody ever find a fix for this?

 

[OfTheDamned]

What format is the video in? I have found that mp4 works best on the Eris. You may want to try converting the video. Free Video to iPhone Converter: iPhone Video Converter This software has worked pretty well for me.

 

[McFluffnStuff]

Its MPEG-4. I'll try it out and see if it works, thanks.

This has been an issue in all versions, 1.5, 2.1 leak 1, and 2.1 leak2. What I did was re-encode the movies files and tested them and they worked. I converted them all to .wmv which made them a little bigger but its worth it if they work. I will try to find the application I used and post it here though any movie converter or encoder should work.

Here is the link I found that helps fix the issue you guys are having:
