Why is it that I am able to play only a few .mp4 files in my New Samsung Galaxy Y Mobile but not he rest. What should I do to make even the other .mp4 files to play?

What should I do to make .mkv, .avi and other video formats to play?

This seems like two very distinct questions - please consider separating them. You also may want to look at this previous question: Play High-Resolution mp4 Videos on Galaxy Y – eldarerathis♦ Jul 8 '12 at 16:20

Try MX Player from Google Play. It can play almost all the video formats in my Samsung Galaxy Y Duos. Review

Answer by Richard

You are not able to play the high resolution videos in your mobile. Your device should be able to handle videos up to 640*360, this is the resolution of HQ YouTube.

Note that there's absolutely no point in watching HD videos on your phone. It has a screen resolution of 240 x 320. Anything above this will be scaled down to fit the screen.

In General, HD videos need to be decoded by a specialized companion chip (h264 decoder) because the CPU is not powerful enough. For price reasons, only a subset of h264's Features may be supported leaving you without HD support

Just install MX Player on your Android phone. Then, you can play any video format on your Samsung Galaxy Y Duos.
