Overview

I just recorded some MP4 files and when I tried to put these MP4 files on my Samsung TV I failed and got the message "Data not available". These MP4 files can be successfully played on PC, so the MP4 files are in good order. I have read message in Samsung TV forums that the users can play MP4 files on Samsung TV, but why I can't. Any idea?

My Apple mobile has recorded one MOV file, but I can not put it on my Samsung big screen TV for playback for my family. I checked the internet and most people said that it is the video codec issue that caused the playback failure. How can I successfully play my recorded MOV file on my Samsung TV?

Why Users Failed to Play Video Files on Samsung TVs?

Almost all users are not strange about Samsung TV, no matter if they have one Samsung TV or not. And it is caused by the video incompatibility issue for the above two questions. Some users may say my video format is supported by Samsung TV. Well, successful video playback on Samsung TV not only depends on the supported video format, but also on the codec in the supported video formats, that is to say, users also need to make sure the wrapped codec is also supported by Samsung TV. Some users may still confuse about what I said above. OK. The following will give an detailed explanation by listing what are Samsung TV supported video formats.

What Are Samsung TV Supported Video Formats?

Well, the relatively newer Samsung TVs support to play video files with extensions, including .avi, .mkv, .asf, .wmv, .mov, .3gp, .vro, .mpg, .mpeg, .ts, .tp, .trp, .mov, .flv, .vob, .svi, . m2ts, .mts. And for these files with the above extensions, H.264, H.265, Motion JPEG, MVC, MPEG-4, Windows Media Video 9, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, Microsoft MPEG-4, Windows Media Video 7, H.263 and VP6.Besides, the relatively newer Samsung TVs also support WebM with VP8 and VP9 codecs and RMVB with RV8/9/10 codec.
Of course, there is some individual exception for one specific Samsung TV model. For example, for 2019 Samsung TVs, they support to play HEVC files in 8K resolution while Samsung TVs in 2018/2017/2016/2015 don't. Samsung TVs in 2017/2016/2015 also support to play videos with .divx extension as well as the above file extensions.
When we try to play personal video file, such as MP4, on Samsung TV, you can play MP4 with codecs, like H.264, H.265, Motion JPEG, etc, on Samsung TV, but you can not play MP4 with XviD on Samsung TV. Of course, users also need to make sure that the personal file resolution is also supported by Samsung TV.
