Cant play movies on my g1

i have the t mobile g1 phone. i copied a movie from my pc's hard disk onto my sdcard and wanted to play.
none of the video player apps on the fone could play it. they dont even give me access to the movie. it is as though nothing have been copied on the hard disk

Most of the free video players apps will only support MP4 file types. Therefore you need a piece of software to convert the files on your computer before uploading them to the phone. There are plenty of free ones on the net; it's just a question of finding one that works best for you.

Hope that helps.

you don't need to convert. i play avi files just fine on mine. how are you trying to access your videos?

You can get Video Player, or convert.

Hey everybody, i'm new to the forum. I never used an android phone before and i'm thinking to get myself a samung galaxy, but before that I'd like to know a couple of things concerning video playback on android. hope you can help!
From this thread I can guess that the only way to play a XVID or DIVX on an android phone is buying a proper player on the market, cause the free ones can't do it. Is that right? How much do these software cost? Around 1 or 2 $ like iphone stuff, or up to 20-30 like winmo software?
Another question: lot of my movies are quite big in resolution (you know the normal size that you use for pc's). Is there any need of resizing the movie to let it play on an android phone?
I used to have a samsung omnia (rip); winmo sucked badly but it can playback any video at almost any resolution very wmoothly with free players also.
thanks for the answers!
