@maurellis

How did you transferred the video files? you could use Media Go or PCC to make sure you have the correct format, also check if you transfer them to the internal storage.

I transferred them by right clicking the folder on my computer via the cable supplied with the phone. I tried convering them to experia mp4 format using any 'video converter ultimate'. They are all on the SD card.

Used Media Go today. four out of five videos work okay. Perhaps it's something to do with the downloaded format.. THe that packs up halfway file says: Type: Windows media player. I downloaded it from the web.

@maurellis

That's most likely the issue, you can use formatfactory on your PC

Z3 wont play movies/videos

I have converted with Pavtube video converter to 720P Video MP4 but they will not p[lay.

I have VLC, Z3 video player and MX player. All of them say 'cannot play video.'

I have also done a factory reset but still no good.

@maurellis

How about formatfactory and then transfer them with MediaGo

I've solved the problem. I removed the SD caed and copied movies directly to the phone. They all play now.

So the SD caed must have been faulty.
