Is anyone else having problems playing recorded 2d videos on there computer? I recorded about 30 videos in 2d 720p and they all play fine on my phone. However, after transferring them to my computer only 3 or 4 of them will play in most players. I can get them all to play in VLC but the others will not play in Windows Media Player, Media Player Classic or vReveal. They were all recorded using the same settings so this doesn't make sense.

Windows Media Player doesn't support many video formats, I would just forget about WMP al together and opt for VLC as it is better in every aspect.

If it were just windows media player it would not be an issue but it is also Windows Media player Classic which plays just about anything as well as vReveal which I use to stabilize shaky videos.

WMP Classic plays the same codecs as WMP. Microsoft simply does not support the codecs used by the 3vo. I believe the 3vo records in 3gp (correct me if im wrong), and I know that none of the WMPs play that.

Macs play 3GP just fine on stock.
