MPA compatibility
Aug 14 2008, 5:21 PM EDT
We have one of these (an Xda Mini S, actually).

It runs Windows Mobile 5, Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC Version 10.2 Build 14847, and HTC Innovation Camera for Pocket PC Version 3.00 Build 2278.

MPA format videos shot with the device display correctly in Windows Media Player on the device. But on my PC (XP Pro SP2) they fail to display in Quicktime 7 or Windows Media Player 11.

Quicktime says "Error -2041: an invalid sample description was found in the movie (VIDEO_XXX.mp4)"

WMP says that the file may use a codec that is not installed/supported.

ANy ideas as to how to recover these videos would be very welcome: they have some sentimental value to us.
Do you find this valuable?

Of course, by MPA I mean MP4...

Sorry, fatigue error...

And the answer is, change the file type to .3gp ((thanks to Apple Support Forums). 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
