Conclusion

With the above detailed guide, it will become just easy to solve the following symptoms in playing MOV on Android:

• I want to play iPhone recorded .mov file in android. But videoview or mediaplayer doesn't support this meida format. Before, I was always able to play the .mov files with Mobo Player downloaded from the Play Store. Since the upgrade, it's not working, though. I only get the sound and a black screen.
• I have wanted to keep and play Canon *.MOV video on my older Android (2.3 Gingerbread) phone only to find most apps that play the format (e.g. my old friend VLC) don't work on the older Android on my phone.
• I would like to play QuickTime videos (.mov, H.264) on My Samsung 10.1 Tab 2. I downloaded & installed MXplayer and it plays the QuickTime video online, but with no sound.
• I'm the Galaxy S4 user, what I wanna is to import and play a .mov video on my Galaxy S4 for watching. It seems that the tablet can't recognize the mov file from my Canon camera.
• My Nexus won't play any .movs either, even though they have the exact same H.264 video and AAC audio track formats as my .mp4s, which do play. Renaming them doesn't work; it's just something about the .mov package format that it doesn't like. I'm not really surprised, since my Droid 1 could never play them either.
• Hello, I have had my G Nexus LTE for just over a week, liking it so far. Question, how can the phone play .mov files? Do I need to download an app or is there a native way to do it? Thanks!
