When trying to play back a video recorded on my phone, I get the error message "Unable to play video. File has incorrect data." I am trying to play it back with the stock video player. I have downloaded the MX player, and it will play back there, but not with the stock player. Any idea how to get it to play on the stock player? Thanks!

That's interesting. Not sure why the video is not playing with the stock player if you used the stock camera to record the video. Was there any editing done after the video was taken? If so, then it could be a file format incompatibility.

Nope, no editing. I have 2 video's recorded, the first was taken about a month ago. It would play back with the stock player until I recorded the second video mother's day weekend. Now both give me that error.

you can edite the file format and re-size your video small format then he play

Why should I have to? Having the same issue here. Videos that I recorded with my phone suddenly can no longer be played on Thr phone with the standard default video player. The files are still ok and work with other players. It is really annoying
