First, check to make sure your file is complete by running it through RapidCRC or checking it with a torrent. If it's incomplete, the torrent will fill in the broken parts.
Don't use Quicktime, Realmedia, or WMP to play our files. Basically, they suck, and you're going to have a bad time.
Use VLC, Gom Player, or Media Player Classic with some codec packs installed.

how do I play .mp4's on my smartphone?
I just bought a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play and a 32 gb micro sd card. I was trying to put movies on my phone, right now I'm just testing it out and started with All Riders vs Dai-Shocker. I've tried various Android media players (MoboPlay, MX Video) and none of them will play the .mp4 without lag or freezing up. Anyone have experience with this, or even know if it's possible to play these movies on a smartphone. Sorry if this is a stupid question, or if it's in the wrong section of the site. Thanks.

Kind of sounds like the hardware just can't keep up with the large size of the file. If you can't play the SD version, I imagine you probably just need to reencode a version for playing on your phone

our MP4 releases are HD, therefore wont play on the phones unless you have a HD screen phone, which you dont with the Xperia Play
the majority of the SD (AVI) releases should work,

Re: how do I play .mp4's on my smartphone?

Re: how do I play .mp4's on my smartphone?
I downloaded both of those, and neither would even recognize the avi. But I did find a video converter to change the SD movies into mp4's. Thanks for the help.

Probably outdated and such but there a app that call Mplayer or something similar that can play any video file including MKV.
