Hi ehoffman7196,
I see you get an error "format error" you mentioned this means that the mp3 player could not play the file you are trying to play.
check the format of the video is it mp3 is it avi is it wmv or possible it may be mp4 that is one reason since you mentioned that the error is format error then it cannot read the file mp4 is the latest format for a video file check first if it is then it really will not play at all.

When i play videos on my eclipse fit clip plus it says format error i dont know what issue it is pls help

There are many different video formats and some players will only play certain formats. Check which formats the player will play. Then look at the formats that it wont play.
If the player won't play those that it's supposed to, then you will have a problem. If it does play them and not others, then you need to remove those files it won't and get then converted to ones that can play on your player. There is free software available to convert files on a computer. But some might want to charge you for converting common file types.

Hi

The tablet most likely does not support the format, a standard format for Mobile Phones is avi, which may work for the Tablet, do not fear if you can't install applications from the Market, try searching for whatever you need on 4shared.com.

Can't play videos.it say unsupported media formate

It looks like this device only supports MP4 videos encoded with H263 format so you'll need to get the video converted to that format before it'll play on your GTC3300.

Sylvania SMPK8858 won't play movies. Keeps saying format error

I downloaded a video to flash converter from this site http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/products/dvd/Free-Video-to-Flash-Converter.htm and all the videos i run through that program work. I've tried AVI and other videos that were in flash and none worked in the player, but once I run them through the flash converter they play perfectly.
