Playing the .mp4 recorded on my phone..?

[tiger.woods]

What is everyone using to play the video recordings they've made with their phones on their Windows machines?

The format is .mp4 and doesn't play nice on my box...

Everyone is using Google... seach for mp4 player and you'll find the answer.

However, I use VLC, which opens everything except for doors.

It seems odd that a phone that runs MS software can't play it's own recordings...?

Google, what's that?

I have the opposite problem. I can't replay video on my phone, but it plays fine on the PC.

To play stuff you need codecs. VLC doesn't need codecs. Just google codecs for your PC. I have K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (I think that's what it's called). I use WMP to play everything. It works better than VLC now. And as for the poster above, same thing except you need codecs for your phone. I suggest you download TCPMP. What file type are you trying to run?

so the phone that takes video in mp4 can't play it without another program?
cause I'm having the same problem.
I take video with my camera, can I watch the video on my phone after that?
nope. (I'll search the forums but it's just strange since WM6 was fine; I could take video and play it on my phone fine, I think, I can't remember anymore)

I find that if I rename them with a .3gp extension they play fine in quicktime and in WMP (after setting the association or using "open with"). The same files with the original .MP4 extension choke in both (different issues, but neither play them correctly).

they are already named .3gp, which may be the problem since my phone doesn't play .3gp files.
I can't change the extension to mp4 either.
not only that but i can't play them on my computer; this is crazy since my computer can play anything. :)

I just convert mine: http://media-convert.com/convert/index.php
works well and it's pretty quick. I usually move the video to my PC first but I bet I could upload it using Skyfire.
