[Q] Watching HD Vids on D3? Error

---

So I put a 2.4gb .mp4 over to my sd card which is in my D3 and I can't seem to get the vid to play as it should. Tried the stock video player as well as Mobo.
The video plays with Mobo only if I use the soft-decoding option, but the audio gets ruined in the process. With the stock video player, I get a black screen and the track bar shows the video skipping at very fast rates. If I close and reopen the video again, the player crashes. If I scroll through the track bar, I can see the video screen caps but once the video starts playing again, black screen.

Video is a 720p bluray rip of The Dark Knight. Not sure what the exact specs are on that.
Btw my laptop plays the vid flawlessly so the file isn't corrupt or anything.

Do I need to convert the file or something, because I thought the D3 could play .mp4 files.

Try RockPlayer Lite from the market. I've had good luck with that app playing videos encoded for ipad/touch. The description is in Chinese but the menus are English so its usable.

Yeah try a different player like vlc on the market, the video encoding might be out of spec with audio and video slightly and enough to confuse the stock video player.

Tried it, worked the way Mobo did (audio ruined) but also distorted graphics in some areas.
I've heard that SD cards (or maybe the Droid 3/android phones) don't like vid files over 2 gigs, and this is 2.7 so...? or maybe I should use a different format instead of mp4 :/
bleh i dunno.. so many possibilities

Are you putting it on a physical sd card or on the phones internal memory which is labled sd? If its on the card that's prob your problem, but it on the internal storage. If not, idk

Yeah it was on the SD Card which I heard isn't nice to files above 2GB.
Anyway I downloaded DVD Catalyst 4 and the newly converted file worked on the card fine. Still, good to know about the sd card vs internal storage for future large video files.
