is this in your ipod app or over the web?

you gotta be more specific ....like what format is the video in? mpg? avi? mp4? m4v? mov?

and did you add it through iTunes or openSSH or downloaded???

than maybe someone could help you with it.

if you have jailbroke it and cant view youtube videos.....google that problem...there was a video on youtube on how to fix that.....but the new firmwares that are jailbroken shouldnt have that problem anymore.

I was able to put movies on my iphone when I first got it, then I updated it to 2.0 from 1.1.4 ever since that I was unable to put movies on it. I use mp4 format & ad hear to video specs, I've tried on firmware 1.1.4 to 2.2.1 & I'm currently on 2.2.1...iphone 2g 8gig got it the day they came out. Does any one know the directory to put movies in? or a work around without having to install a lot of apps? or just some advice to try? Thanks in advance

I've recently jailbreaked my phone 3G and now have found I can't play the music videos that I bought from iTunes. Any solutions? You tube works fine, my music works fine...

May be your video format is not being recognized by your multimedia player. Try to convert your files into a format that your player can play. Or else try to install VLC player. This player supports maximum formats.
