Which camera did you take the videos with? Are they in any valid video format? If you're using a regular HD Camera, chances are it's using MTS files, which cannot be decoded natively on your tablet (common file formats are AVI, MPEG, MP4). You would either need to convert those video files into something your tablet supports, or download a video app with the appropriate codecs. Most of the time, VLC Player will do the trick as it supports a myriad of video formats.
