Your smartphone is probably using a video codec, which is not installed in your operating system. IrfanView uses just codecs installed in Windows for video playback.
For playing videos, it's better to use a specialized media player, fort example VLC. It also includes codecs for most audio and video formats.My system: IrfanView 4.62 64bit, Windows 10 22H2, Intel Core i5-3570, 16GB RAM, NVidia GTX 1050Ti 4GB

Media Player Classic is a very good media player too. It also comes with its own codecs.
Speaking of K-Lite Mega codec pack, the mega version includes lots of unnecessary stuff. The standard version includes everything needed for playing videos. The higher editions include also codecs for encoding videos, which most users don't need. However if you are using VLC or MPC, you don't need any codecs.My system: IrfanView 4.62 64bit, Windows 10 22H2, Intel Core i5-3570, 16GB RAM, NVidia GTX 1050Ti 4GB

"LAV Filters" has become the defacto ffmpeg-based decoder for Windows. It can be downloaded separately and installed for use with all programs, or bundled with MPC-HC. Previously you needed "ffdshow" and various splitters, but now LAV Filters includes the splitting part too. Codec packs remain from the time when these megacodecs didn't exist or were not as complete, and the packs included cracked modules from commercial video players. Now they are not needed any more.
