I have some home videos that I have tried to put on my phone. I have done it in the past with both avi and mp4 video and it worked fine. Now when I try to transfer the video (I've tried both formats) it will say "your device may not play this video" and when I try to open it on the phone, using several different players, it cannot play. These are normal file formats for this phone so I know that's not the problem. they are not protected videos. I've tried rebooting but it didn't help. So what else can I try?

 

Thanks-I'll try that. In the meantime I found a program on my computer (it was a daily freebie or a deal I found or something that I forgot about) called winx converter and maybe I can do something with it.

 

mx player is one of the ones I have on my phone and had already tried. I converted a file using the winx converter and it has specific phone profiles, including the Gnex. So that worked. I just hate having to convert every file but it didn't take too long. I knew that I downloaded this program for a reason. lol

 

The original files are .avi. I have put avi files on my phone before without any type of conversion, even from the same recording device, and they played fine. The converter converted them to mp4.
