Can't play a SVCD!

Hello!
I have a BIG problem: I cannot see any SVCD on my Mac Mini
(PPC, MacOS X 10.3.9 Panther)
None of my players is able to play SVCD!
These are the error messages:
Quick Time 7.1.2
"Error while opening the film. The film couldn't be opened."
Movie Time 0.4b6
"Unable to open movie "AVSEQ01.MPG". Movie you trying to open either corrupt or has format that Quick Time does not understand. Quick Time error code was: -36."
VLC 0.8.5
"access_file: read failed (Input/output error)"
Any idea?
Thanx!
Regards,
Vlad

did you make sure that disc even works (on a standalone DVD player)?

  • Can't play video burned on PC

    My son created a slideshow with audio and graphics on his PC, but I can't play it on my Mac. I have QuickTime 7.6 plus Flip4Mac WMV 2.2.1 but I can't figure out how to play the video. When I try to open the DVD, all I get are 4 folders named EXT, MPEG2, PICTURES, SEGMENT and SVCD.
    Suggestions? Thank you.

    If it is a SCVD or VCD:
    VCD is a low cost way of putting what starts as OK videos into a really mediocre 320X240 MPEG-1 format to fit a CD and is VERY popular for Karaoke, and SVCD is a way of putting DVD quality (sort of) MPEG-2 on a CD instead of a DVD:
    Put the CD in your computer.
    Open the CD in finder.
    Look for the largest file in one of the folders - for VCD it is called AVSEQ01.DAT.
    For SVCD it is called AVSEQ01.mpg
    Rename it whatever you like with an extension of .mpg (not DAT).
    Play in MPEG Streamclip or VLC or even Quicktime if it is a VCD as that is only MPEG-1 which works. To play MPEG-2 from a SVCD you need to pay for the Apple MPEG-2 codec or use VLC instead.

  • HT1351 Some of the songs I bought from iTunes will not sync to my iPhone.  They show up on my phone, but the letters look faed and I can't play them.  How do I fix this?  I tried restoring my iPhone and it didn't work.

    Sorry, I meant the letters look "faded" not faed.

  • Songs from multiple apple accounts can't play at same time on same login

    I have two iTunes accounts for purchases. I used to be able to play all songs purchased regardless of account used on my iTunes and my iPods (we have 4). Now, with the 7.0.1 update I can only play tunes purchased from one account or the other.
    I need to be able to play purchases from both accounts on the same computer and iPods. How do I do this? Can I have multiple authorizations on one computer?

    While we can have multiple authorizations, under version 7.0.1 we can't play songs or videos from one account when the other is logged in. In prior versions of iTunes it didn't matter. Plus we can't seem to play songs or videos from more than one account on our iPods, Nano, or Shuffle
    We have two accounts, one for US purchases and one for French purchases. But I can also see unmarried couples with one computer having separate accounts and so on. So this is a big issue that should not have occured. It doesn't make sense to have one "household" account for all purchases vs. individual accounts with shared access from one computer.
    I'd really like to see a resolution to this issue.

  • I can not play the sequence in preview mode. How do I fix this issue?

    Each frame loads in the preview window when highlighted, but I can not play the sequence.

    I am working on a project for school. I have been draging clips down to the timeline and matching it with a few voice overs. Nothing too complex. I have been previewing my work as I go by pressing the space bar, Im not sure what I did but now Premiere will not play the preview in the Program sequence window.

  • Ios 8 iphone can not play audio message in imessage

    Seems I can send sound clips from my iPhone 5, but when someone sends me one I get a box with a ? in it and can not play it even though it says I have received an audio message. If I am at the lock screen I can hit play but then it appears to freeze.
    Any ideas? Below is what I see in my messages.. they should be audio messages.

    Just downloaded it about an hour ago and the same thing happened to me. I guess I should just wait it out then?

  • Why does iTunes/iPhone 4S insist it can't find a song on my PC or my phone when it is on both? This is resulting in me being unable to use the ringtones I created from these songs, but I can still play the songs.

    OK, so I'm clearly a newb. I thought if I asked a question, it would post, and now I'm being told to post a comment, so I'm asking the same question again. Sorry I sound like an idiot. I'm new to this apple/mac stuff.

    If you have added the ringtone file correctly to iTunes, it will appear under iTunes 'Tones' library.
    If you don't find Tones library in iTunes, go to iTunes menu EDIT/PRFERENCES under GENERAL tab, check the Tones Box under Library source to display Tones library in iTunes.
    iTunes accepts only m4r file as ringtone and has to be less than 40secs.

  • I'm also having a music issue.  When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything.  I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

  • Upgraded to yosemite now my speakers don't work and i can't play videos on Facebook.

    When i play a video on face book I'm told i need to upgrade flashplayer, i wasn't even aware i had it downloaded! I have got rid of flash player (i think ) and now I'm told i need to download FP before i can watch videos. I can't play games on FB either and my speakers don't work.
    I wish i hadn't upgraded to Yosemite to be honest as i prefer the old layout and it seems to have caused me problems. Everything was working fine before the Upgrade to Yosemite.
    Im not good with computer terminology so please reply as simply as possible :-)
    Thank you

  • I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

    I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
    I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
    I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
    P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

  • I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed though.

    I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version.  Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them.  They are still listed in the iTunes library.  When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
    P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out.  However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow.  When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list.  I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs.  Then I did a sync and it happened again!
    I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud.  Any thougnts?

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Jabber for windows can't play voice mail

    hello everyone....
    i config jabber with Unity Connection
    now i can receive a voice mail form jabber ,all is right ..but i can't play it
    if i login the voice mail i can hear the voice mail......only can't play form jabber ...
    my jabber client is 9.2 and CUCM 9.1 Unity Connection 8.62 CUPS 9.1

    We have the same problem with Jabber for Windows 9.2.
    It is interesting that the voicemail feature seems to work for a few seconds when the client starts up. At this time I can see all of voice mails, and the number of unread voicemails shows as a number where the voicemail icon is, but then they all disappear. The voicemail tab then shows the message, "Cisco Jabber is not connected to your voicemail server".
    The 'Call voicemail' button works.
    I understand that our server has been setup for TLS, and that the voicemail tab in Jabber for Windows 9.1.5 works.

  • I just updated Itunes to the newest version and now my entire song library is saying 'can't play this song because original file can't be found'.  ***??

    I have no idea what happened!?  I just updated Itunes on my macbook and now my entire song library won't play.  When I click on a song it says it can't play because it can't find the original file.  How is this possible?  The original files are on my computer.  I just upgraded!! HELP!!

    The only thing I can think of is that you deleted these files off your computer without using iTunes to do it. Or maybe you backed up your computer to a previous state to where these song files didn't exist? The last one doesn't even make sense to me unless you used Time Machine to do it. But those are the only things I can think of.

    Hi Grandmaz5,
    If you are having issues connecting to Facebook on your iPad, and you have already troubleshot the Facebook app itself, you may want to check the built-in iOS settings for Facebook; you may find the following article helpful:

    Hi @livinglife,
    Welcome to Nokia Support Discussions! 
    What is the error message displayed when you try playing the video? Have you tried using mobile data? If yes, does it show the same issue? What fixes have you tried so far? By the way, are you using the same phone model?
