I have experienced the same problem your facing...........but , the consensus is that your movies have to be formatted a certain way for you to be able to play it on your droid. DVD CATALYST 3 is the program that made things so so so easy to make this work , unfortunately it is not free it is only $10 and it works GREAT. Not only that , if you have issue or questions , tech support gets back to you within a few hours. I have had NO issues figuring it out and movies look great on my droid
i used handbrake, and when done, right click on movie, then send to e drive. my movies show up in the sd card folder and play with no problem. i used the iphone settings and changed it a little so that the movie takes up the whole screen, then i save the settings and rename it droid.

From previous posts, I dont think it matters where you put the actual files.
As mentioned in a previous reply, when you have issues, always try and play the files on your computer using VLC or Quicktime. Quicktime is more picky than VLC, so I'd suggest to use that to makesure the files are encoded properly. VLC will play some corrupted files as well, so its safer to use Quicktime to test.
They work in QuickTime and vocal as well as my iPod touch. Likewise said not even the Droid formatted movie previews in your thread work. YouTube. Is having trouble too
I read a while ago someones post here that videoplayback had issues when you tried a bad file. He continued to have issues even with files that worked untill he did a battery pull.Quote:

edit. The video's from my trailer thread, did you download one of the zips, or did you try playing one over the web?
I fled the file and tried it on my comp. It worked. I put it on my phones SD card and it played in the gallery for about ten or so seconds and then said it couldn't play. I could choose a point in the video sometimes and it would play from there for a few seconds. I did a battery pull last night after deleting all video files. The only other files I have are one picture for wallpaper, music and ends Rome I installed this morning.(after having all the video problems)
Strange, very strange.Quote:

It might be a firmware issue, a hardware issue, I dont know.
All I know is everything else works perfect...all games and music and Apps and internet ect. But video hates me
I was just at a VZW store and a sales rep there said he just got his recently too and is having a similar problem, it was a kiosk so there were no tech people there but could this be a hardware issue? I dont think so because there are no other problems and video in things like my emulator games work fine. Still no clue what to do about this issue though.
EDIT: Forgot to mention im running Mac OS X 10.5
