Default MP4 file issue

anybody can play MP4 file on SD card?
I keep getting file damage error. However, I can play it on any laptop/pic.
So far I can play none of them.

Change the file extension from .mp4 to .m4a and it'll play it just fine.

Thanks,
Look like it cannot play any movie file on sd card (MP4, mov, avi, MPEG). But change extensive to trick it thinking it is music files, then it plays fine.

Unless if it's Apple Lossless. Our MMI doesn't support ALAC.

Default hi

Sorry to bother you guys but this really seems to be a related thread about MP4 playback issue, isn't it?I also have a problem of MP4 playback downloaded from YouTubeon my mobile phone. The video just couldn't be opened and played on Windows Media Player. So I downloaded this video repair program (How to Repair MP4 File with the Simplest Video Recovery Tool) as you can see, to repair mp4 file. In the article it mentions that i can fix video by converting formats. I do not know how it work, but after I added my MP4 video into the program, it asked me to choose a codec. There were 2 , H264 and MPEG4, i do not know which encoder to choose. I also find another type named MJPEG on the internet and I do not know what are the relations between them. The original video which i downloaded is MPEG4, but it does not work as i have mentioned just now. As for H264, i also know that it is a highly compressed encoder, so i am worrying about that there might be some dramatic quality loss in the course of conversion, is that true? The video is 1080p - 60fps and i do not literally like to decrease the file size by losing video output quality and decreasing it to 30fps which is less smooth. How should i fix a video without changing codec?
