Does not play in Linux in xine, mplayer, ffplay here.
Typing
mediainfo hsi-fault.mp4
General
Complete name : hsi-fault.mp4
Format : MPEG-4
Format profile : Base Media / Version 2
Codec ID : mp42
File size : 4.16 MiB

So codec is mp42
Typing mp42 in google finds a lot of links, starting with this one:
http://www.movavi.com/codec/mp42.html
Looks like that site has a link to download the MS windows codec.

G-Spot says no playback size, video or audio codec info can be found in
the faulty file. I'd guess at corrupted or missing metadata. Has the fle
been edited, or did you notice any problem when saving it?

A Hex Editor shows the same info in the start blocks of the files, but
totally different info at the end, which I take to mean the faulty file
has been corrupted while saving at some point. In particular, the file
creation date and recommended playback size are missing from the
metadata, so it may just be truncated, as these are the last pieces of
data to be written. Someone with better Hex editing skills than me *may*
be able to resurrect it, but it won't be easy.

From reading about similar problems on various video forums, I'd not be
too optimistic, unfortunately.

Are you saving it on the memory card. If the E51 is similar to my N79 there
is precious little memory in the phone itself.

tried loading it into virtualdub and then re-processing it as a new video
file? ( full processing mode ).
