Nx500 time lapse won't play

Milondon15 · Jul 26, 2015

Hi,

I have recorded a couple of time lapse videos using my new nx500. None of the videos seem to play on my Mac or iPhone I keep getting this file isn't supported even thought it down as MP4. Am I missing something? Do you I need to download a conventor for the UHD clips too?

Thanks in advance.

Only time lapse or any movie? You probably just miss the right codec. mp4 is only a container, it does not automatically mean you can decode what is in it. MPC-hc with latest LAV codecs plays stuff well (on windows, not sure about mac, probably latest VLC).

Thanks for the advice, only the time lapse since it's the only thing I have tried to record. Will download the recommended player.

I haven't tried an in camera time lapse yet, but regular footage is encoded h.265 which most things can't play yet. You'll need to transcode it with a program such as rocky Mountain movie converter first.

It would make sense that they encode the time-lapse the same way.

Transcode it and you'll be good to go.

Thanks finally got it to work by converting it using Samsung movie software. It didn't look great I must say even when using HD pro quality.
