I took a video on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (Android), it's about 3GB and it can be played on the phone. But after transferring it to the PC is does not play when opened with VLC, QuickTime, Windows Media Player.

I tried to convert it to AVI using "Pazera free Mo4 to AVI" converter, but it fails before being converted.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?

Why do you want to convert it to AVI in the first place? AVI is a horrible container that even supports less than MP4. Have you installed any Codec pack for Windows (like CCCP, K-Lite)? Please check MediaInfo's output for the file and include it in your post. – slhck Jan 21 at 16:18
i have pasted the mediainfo's output – krisdigitx Jan 21 at 16:36
Hm, that's weird. Do you have another PC to check? Maybe it's a problem with the file size itself. – slhck Jan 21 at 16:48
but the phone is able to play the file, so i think its a codec issue.. – krisdigitx Jan 21 at 16:53
Try media player classic (MPC) shipped with K-Lite and many other coded packs. It will give you very detailed error information which will help us help you. It seems to me that you have a damaged file that cause the mp4 splitter on your computer to fail. You may want to copy the file again. – billc.cn Jan 21 at 17:57

I would recommend you to install a codec pack. This is quite a good one. You can also choose from which codecs to pick.

i have installed the codec and tried to play it with VLC and it does not work.... – krisdigitx Jan 21 at 16:35
@krisdigitx Did you check to install all codecs? Did you try it with WMP? It could also be that you have to select the codecs in VLC. – bamboon Jan 21 at 16:43
yup i installed all the video codecs..i tried it with WMP also and it does not recognise – krisdigitx Jan 21 at 16:51

Transfer using the "Mass Storage" option in "USB Settings" and it will work fine! The Samsung Kies option is what is messing up files over 2GB or so.
