What do you mean "don't recognize?" The file has an extension of mp4? You placed it in the video folder using what method? I have run into problems with larger files - they show up as being on the pb when I look at the folder from my computer and they even show the correct size but they are MISSING when using the video app or even when using FileBrowser or Files&Folders. I copied it again and it worked. DEL the file, restart the pb and copy it again.
I downloaded my first movie (yeah, my first- quit your snickering) on my PB just yesterday in MP4 form. And it's a great one, "American Splendor." It's the perfect kind of movie for a tablet.
