I created a small video using Quicktime and I want to save it to my iPhone Camerall Roll but I'm not able to. Tried saving it from Dropbox but I get error saying "this type of video cannot be saved to this device". I mailed it to myself but it doesnt even give me an option to save it.
Any help?
This thread happened three years ago, but this is the top response that came up on a google search for "sorry this type of video cannot be saved to this device".
I signed in to Apple just to comment. The guy responding to this question, Diesel vdub, is legitimately the least helpful commenter I've ever seen. How this person has a Level 7 next to his name is beyond comprehension.
"Nothing can be added to CameraRoll unless is taken with the device."
"I was able to save videos from my Dropbox to my phone before."
"Ah, I missed that part."
What was there to miss? You were wrong with your previous statement.
"iOS 7.1 has not been released. As such, it cannot be discussed here."
"Discussion of beta software in the public forums is a violation of the developers agreement which you signed/agreed to." Who are you? You're distracting from your incompetence and toward an issue that's not an issue. "I'm sorry, I can't fix your engine because your washer fluid is too new."
Thankfully there are other sites to go to for this issue.

I was able to save videos from my Dropbox to my phone before.

Is the video in one of the supported video formats?
Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 1080p, 60 frames per second, High Profile level 4.2 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
Its a 5mb MOV. I also tried exported it to mp4 but it doesn't work either way. It's weird because I've done it plenty of times before but since updating to 7.1 I'm not able to, even if i send it as an iMessage.

If you are running beta software, post this to the developers forum if you are developer. If you are not a developer, you have stolen software.
Ofocurse I'm a developer. Your last comment's mad unnecessary.

That's not true. I edited a video with Final Cut Pro 7 and was able to save that video to my camera roll and even sent it to Instagram too. Now I used MPEG StreamClip and Dropbox to make it all happen though.
