Thanked 14 Times in 13 PostsTry VLC Player for OS X. It should handle any video you throw at it without extra codecs.

sorry guys, already have both...
weirder, i checked my perian info, and it says that mpeg4 should play!
maybe this is the problem, the computer says its mpeg-4, but the name of the file is: -------.mp4Last edited by Rabsi1; 04-03-2009 at 12:26 AM.

Thanked 14 Times in 13 Posts.mp4 can also be H.264, H.263, which both of the players should handle. Can you record a very brief video and upload it somewhere so we can analyze the codec?

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsIn this case the file seems to be corrupt. Hopefully this will be adressed in a future FW release.
Guess there is just one more solution (but I guess we Mac-user don't really like it): Get Windows and install a codec pack for that in BootCamp, VMWare or Parallels. Apple and the OS X community are very strict about codec specs -> ergo they want you to encode and decode working files that use the official specs. Windows doesn't seem to be so picky of what you feed to it. :P But I would rather wait a while because if it's a bug Meizu will surely fix it.::: MEIZU ON MAC - Support for Apple Mac OS X users (DE, EN, CN) :::Currently using: miniPlayer SL M6 (8 GB) @ FW 2.004.5 / M8 (16 GB) @ FW 0.9.0.4[ Tip: ] Problems getting your ID3 tags from iTunes displayed on your M6 or M3?
