Video does not play

Post by tri_zoom »

Hi there, I just downloaded Harry's Petrol version for Android Jellybean on my Samsung Galaxy S3.
Everything seemed to work at the track and have a video about 600mb in .mp4 format, however I've tried watching it on my phone but says video not working.
I've also tried exporting it to my other computers and no computer can view it or open the file, seems to be corrupted.

Am I doing something wrong? I've searched the forum a bit but don't have similar problems as it shows I have a video and recorded however I cannot view it.

By the way it was set at Full HD and should only be a 2 minute run.

The video not recording, is it the raw video or is it the result from running the overlay process?

I haven't had the chance to do any overlaying yet as I'm still new to this program. It should be the raw .mp4 file as I found it in my program folder.
It must have recorded something and the size of it reflects a full HD recording for a 2 minute run. I just can't seem to get it to open on any video program,
ie. Windows Media player, VLC, Power DVD, etc. I've tried everything

Indeed, sounds like it is corrupted. The raw video is recorded using an Android system call, the LapTimer magic (video manipulation) is done during overlaying. So it should at least be playable within LapTimer - and VLC.

Please try recording a short sample video (open Video View and press the small red button, wait, press the green button) to verify if the effect can be reproduced. Furthermore, please make sure you have the Video View active / open while recording.

I've only had the program for a few days and will start to do sample videos and runs first and see what results I get before posting again, thank you.
