Unable to play videos on tablet

[Johnaldo]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2, and when I download photos and videos from my Sony camera it shows the pics no problem ... but the videos return the message "Your device is not authorised to play this DivX protected video".
Any ideas what this means, please?

Think you'd get that message if the videos were DRM'd, but these are from your own camera. Could be a codec issue, try a different video player app like MX Player or VLC.

+1 for MX :beer:

Thanks for the replies mikedt and funkylogik ... I downloaded MX player and it's done the business.
