Video format problem

alishandhanani — Sun, 20 Oct 2013 20:27:39 GMT

my Xperia L plays only .Mp4 format videos and fails to play all other formats such as wmv, mkv, flv and etc.

when I try to transfer video files of format other than .Mp4, then the window shows the error that this file might would not work on my phone if I do not convert it before transferring. And when I convert it, it is converted into Mp4 format and then works fine on the phone. But the problem is that the converting take so much time (that is about an hour for 100 Mb file - 720P video). Also the Media Go takes about the same conversion time.
Even the MX Player fails to play other files than mp4, it shows error or else plays with extreme lag.

I don't know if this is the issue only with me or with all the Xperia L users. Please help if you have some handy solutions.

Did you try another app like vlc for android beta?

Anyway uliwooly is right. The best solution is to use a software on your PC to convert videos.

just install MX Player on your phone.
