what movie file types are playable in an mp4 device?

There's no such thing as an mp4.  You are probably thinking of an Mpeg-4, which is, in itself, a file format.  Something labelled "MP4 Device" - or "Mpeg-4 Device" for that matter - implicitly playes Mpeg-4 files only.  You'd have to check the manufacturer's specifications to determine if they play other formats as well (like the way most "MP3 players" can play WAVs and so on)

There are many convertors available for this task. You just need to know what is the format of the movie you are trying to play, and then just search on the net for the convertor. Whenever I need to find the convertor I would use the following string: avi to mpg, or something like that. Great site for tools like this is www.download.com\n\nGood luck

Depends on what you mean by 'best'.  If your version of 'best'  refers to quality.. then that would be MPEG4 format.  However, if your version of 'best' refers to compatibility, then you should use MPEG2+AC3 for video (DVD compatible) and MP3 for audio only (the most players support it).\n\nThe answer to this question really depends on why you're asking the question in the first place.  For example, if you have something that you need to compress for a specific purpose.  Then, you should determine the destination device's capabilities and craft media that supports that device (like a DVD player).

Yeah! There's a marvellous bit of Freeware that I found called SUPER. It converts video to a whole host of different formats and will be perfect for what you need.\n\nAs stated, its freeware, so completely free to use - and not only has options for what you're after - but options to convert that movie for use on your iPod or mobile phone!\n\nTo download, click the link in the sources. You'll have to scroll to the bottom of the website and click download. Then scroll to the bottom of that, and click download.\n\nIt's a dodgey website; but the software's wicked.

You can use any popular format but there's two main issues to consider\n\n1. compression ratio. big files make for long download times (& may fill up your bandwidth quota very quickly). Some people are still using that dial-up thingy to access the internet, and they won't want to wait forever. This effectively counts out quicktime which is favoured by macs.\n\n2. codecs - there's a million and one of them out there. windows is bundled with a few. mpegs & avis are the most universal but each has loads of different subformats. It's a painstaking matter of finding out which best suits you & your target audience.\n\nI've heard that flash movies are good for web use, but I'm trying to find out more about that myself.

Microsoft video files? \nAre you refering to "wmv"s (windows media viewer files)\nIf so, you are able to change wmv's into avi and other formats, simply go to...\n\nStart>programs>accessories> Windows Movie Maker\n\nThen when you are saving your movie file, be sure to change the format to avi, or what ever you need.

Ipods will only play mp4 and .mov files unfortunately.  however if you really need this particular file on your ipod, try converting it.  google psp video converter.  psp's also use mp4 and there is a free video converter for psp out there, just not sure where (freedownloads.com??)

they are basically mp4 ( mpeg4 ) files so if you go to my computer --> tools --> Folder options --> view tab --> un check the box that says "hide file extensions of known file types"\n\nThen you should be able to view all the file extensions and hence change file types by clicking on any of the 3gp file or files.\n\nThen change the 3gp to mp4 and use vlc media player :\n\nwww.videolan.org/vlc/\n\nThat or use any other media player ( as long as you have mpeg4 decoders installed )\n\nI suggest you install divx :\n\nhttp://www.divxmovies.com/codec/\n\nand xvid :\n\nhttp://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/\n\nhopefully this helps :)\n\nalthough I do strongly suggest vlc media player ;)

.mp4 is a video codec\n\n.m4a is a proprietary format used by apple's iTunes when you download music off them. You can't use it like you would mp3 because it is private and ONLY works with iPods.

You need a converter program. The movie file was probably downloaded as an MPG or AVI or something and needs to be coded and converted. Do a search for any file conversion programs.

Depends on the clip you are attempting to play.  It may have no image.\n\nYou may also need to download the correct codec.\n\nHope this helps!
