I just picked up a Droid X a few days ago. Rooted it last night. And deleted a few "safe" system apps today (like Blockbuster, VX Navigator, etc).

I just tried to shoot a short video to check out the quality. The video recorder worked fine, said it recorded the video fine. When I look at the phone's Camera Roll, it shows a generic icon for the video, not a preview. When I transfer the video to my computer, it doesn't know how to play it back. When I try to play back the video on the phone, it says "Error. File cannot be displayed or played".

Any ideas what's going on?

Thanks in advance!

** SOLVED ** - Seems to be working fine now after doing a battery pull.

That's a bug with some X's. Sometimes it comes back. Sometimes it never.goes away.

probably didn't need to do the battery pull, a simple restart would have down the trick.
 
There is an issue with DX's after 2.2 that messes up media files. It has been commented on numerous times on the music side. Reboots cure it for a while, but they seem to come back.
