This can be due to outdated or faulty media players, incompatible video format, improper file transfer, codec compatibility issues, or file corruption.<\/p><p>Fortunately, you can fix the issue using the methods mentioned in this blog.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"iphone-videos-not-playing-on-windows-pc-&ndash;-understanding-the-causes\"><strong><strong>iPhone videos not playing on Windows PC &ndash; Understanding the Causes<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><p>There can be many reasons why iPhone videos are not playing on your Windows PC.<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Incompatible or missing codecs<\/strong> &ndash; iPhones generally use the HEVC (High Efficiency Video Coding) format to record high-quality video with a smaller file size. However, if your Windows PC doesn&rsquo;t have the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/fix-unsupported-video-codec-error\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">necessary video codec<\/a>, your iPhone videos will not play.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compatibility issues with media player<\/strong> &ndash; If the video player you use to play videos doesn&rsquo;t support the iPhone video format, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/fix-video-playback-errors-issues\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">video playback error<\/a> will occur.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Outdated media player<\/strong> &ndash; An outdated media player can also be responsible for iPhone videos not playing issue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improper or incomplete video transfer<\/strong> &ndash; If the process of transferring the video from iPhone to Windows is interrupted due to a sudden system or phone shutdown or insufficient storage, the file will be incomplete or corrupt. If the video was compressed during transfer, improper compression settings may make it unplayable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Video Corruption<\/strong> &ndash; If the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/how-to-repair-corrupt-mov-video-from-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iPhone video file becomes corrupted<\/a> due to a compression issue or incomplete file transfer, it affects the video&rsquo;s metadata, making it unplayable.<\/li>\n<\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"workarounds-to-fix-iphone-videos-not-playing-on-windows\"><strong>Workarounds to <\/strong><strong>Fix iPhone Videos Not Playing on Windows<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2><p>To see if your iPhone videos are playing on Windows, try restarting the video player, changing the video format, using different media players, etc. We recommend trying each method one by one to fix the issue.<\/p><pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\"><strong>Caution:<\/strong>&nbsp;Do not work on the&nbsp;<strong>original iPhone video files<\/strong>. Please make a copy of the original file and then repair it.<\/pre><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-so-how-to-play-iphone-videos-on-windows-pc\"><strong>1. Restart the Windows\/ Media Player<\/strong><\/h3><p>The most basic step to fix iPhone videos not playing on a Windows is to close the existing media player, restart it again, and then try to play the video. If your video doesn&rsquo;t work, close all the applications and restart your Windows.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Play iPhone videos in different media players<\/strong><\/h3><p>If your iPhone video doesn&rsquo;t play on your existing media player, try playing it in a different media player. For example, if your iPhone video file doesn&rsquo;t open on Windows Media Player, try opening the same file in another media player like VLC Media Player, QuickTime Player, RealPlayer, or Cisdem Video Player.<\/p><p>Move to the next method if your iPhone videos still won&rsquo;t play on Windows.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Update Media Player<\/strong><\/h3><p>Often, outdated media players can cause errors like &lsquo;video not supported,&rsquo; &lsquo;video not playing,&rsquo; etc. Update your media player right away to eliminate this issue.<\/p><p>If you are trying to play iPhone videos in Windows Media Player, update the player to ensure it supports your video&rsquo;s file format. The latest Windows Media Player 12 is available on Windows 10, 8.1, and 7, while Windows Media Player 11 is available for Windows XP.<\/p><p>Go to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/windows-media-player-details.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>Microsoft&rsquo;s official download center<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;and get the latest Windows Media Player version based on your Windows version.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Transfer iPhone video files again<\/strong><\/h3><p>Are you sure your iPhone videos were transferred to the PC properly? Was there any interruption during the transfer of video files, such as disconnection or sudden shutdown of the PC\/ iPhone? Any disruption during download or transfer can damage the video file. Try to transfer your videos again from your iPhone to Windows.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Download required codecs<\/strong><\/h3><p>Codecs are necessary to play any video on a computer. It compresses or decompresses video files. Media Players use these codecs to play videos.<\/p><p>Incompatible codecs can often be the reason for &lsquo;iPhone videos not playing on Windows PC&rsquo;. iPhone videos use the HEVC codec. If your media player doesn&rsquo;t support this codec, your video will not play.<\/p><p>So, download the missing codec pack from its official website and check if your iPhone video plays in Windows.<\/p><p>Some&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/best-video-codec-packs-for-windows-10-11\/\">popular Windows video codec packs<\/a> are the K-Lite Codec Pack, Media Player Video Codec Packs, Shark007X Codec Pack, and X Codec Pack.<\/p><p class=\"d-md-none d-sm-none d-lg-none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/repair.stellarinfo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/images\/onlinevideorepair\/repair-MOV-online.png\" alt=\"repair-MOV-online\" class=\"img-fluid d-md-none d-sm-none d-lg-none apply-gradient-on-post-images\"><\/a><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Convert your iPhone video to another file format<\/strong><\/h3><p>If your iPhone video is not working on Windows, try converting it to another file format. Converting files to another format may make your iPhone video playable on the media player. You can convert your iPhone video to MP4, AVI, MOV, or any other format your Windows media player supports. You can also use VLC Media Player or other online tools like CloudConvert, Zamzar, Movavi Video Editor, etc., to change the video format.<\/p><p><strong>Here&rsquo;s how to use VLC Media Player to change the format of your iPhone video:<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Launch the&nbsp;<strong>VLC Player<\/strong> on your system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Media<\/strong>, select&nbsp;<strong>Convert or Save.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"335\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-02.png\" alt=\"vlc 02- convert\/save\" class=\"wp-image-177345 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-02.png 520w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-02-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-02-150x97.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click <strong>Add input files\/streams <\/strong>to insert your video file that needs to be repaired.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"544\" height=\"438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-03.png\" alt=\"vlc 03 - select file\" class=\"wp-image-177346 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-03.png 544w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-03-300x242.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-03-150x121.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 544px) 100vw, 544px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Click on&nbsp;the <strong>Convert or Save button.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the <strong>Convert window,<\/strong> choose a file name and browse a location using the destination file option.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"520\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-04.png\" alt=\"vlc 04 - choose destination\" class=\"wp-image-177347 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-04.png 520w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-04-300x243.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-04-150x121.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose the&nbsp;<strong>desired input Codec&nbsp;<\/strong>from the profile list.<\/li>\n<\/ul><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"519\" height=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-05.png\" alt=\"vlc 05 - desired input codec\" class=\"wp-image-177348 apply-gradient-on-post-images\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-05.png 519w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-05-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.stellarinfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/vlc-05-150x123.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 519px) 100vw, 519px\" \/><\/figure><ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Then click <strong>Start<\/strong> to initiate the conversion process.
