Watching Videos On Windows Phone

Technical Level : Basic

of bandwidth on their data connection.

Built In Video Player

The built-in Video Player can only understand some windowsphone specific formats. If you have video file on your PC and not sure if it will work on your phone, there is a simple way of finding this out. Try and copy the file into the SD card or Phone Memory
on the PC. If you get a error message while copying, then that file won't play on windowsphone.

At this point, in order to make the video play on windowsphone, the only option is to convert the video into a windowsphone compatible format. There are several open source video converters that are available. If you would like to try this, an encoder that
I would recommend is VidCoder .
You can find the link to this software here.

MoliPlayer Pro

The above suggestion about video conversion was perhaps the only suggestion we could make about watching videos, a few months ago. Encoding videos is not really everybody's cup of tea. Now, we have Moli Player Pro which can play almost any video format.
Before I go into its usage, a couple of disclaimers.

1. I am not advertising MoliPlayer Pro. I use it and have found it to be extremely useful.

2. The app is a paid app after a 30 day trial.

Using MoliPlayer Pro is simple and the steps are as follows.

• InstallMoli Player Pro - either as trial or buy. Note - Please ensure that you are installing this app on your phone memory (if you are running 8.1).
  
• Connect your phone to your PC.
• Copy your video files to the SD card. The app suggests that you copy the files to the CAMERA ROLL. In my experience, I have found that you can copy the video files to any location on the SD card and it will still be playable.
• Once the copying is done, open Moli Player Pro and enjoy the videos.

Please note the following.

• Once 30 days are over, the app will not let you watch anything unless you buy it.
• The very first time you run the app, it can take up to three minutes to detect all the videos.

VLC for windowsphone

About a year ago - December 2012 - folks who make the very popular VLC player for desktop computers made an announcement. VLC will be brought to windowsphone as well. As of now, the app is still in development. Once the app becomes available, this article
would be updated.
