1 of 2 DVRs won't play recorded programs

I have 2 DVRs, the 'master' DVR and a secondary one. The secondary one suddenly stopped letting me play recorded show. If I try to play anything, it freezes for about 30 seconds and then goes back to live TV. I've reset the box and used the in-home agent to no avail. Any suggestions?

Overlay mode won't display recorded programs

I have an MSI GeForce4 MX440-VTD AGP8X card and a Leadtek Winfast 2000XP TV Deluxe tuner card. Using overlay mode, I can easily redirect the normal cable output from the Winfast PVR application to my TV, and it looks perfectly fine.
However, when I open a stored video file recorded by the Winfast PVR and try to redirect it to the TV, the video will not display....I only get a black screen or a frozen screen of the last image from the analog cable stream. Overlay mode only plays the incoming analog cable signal and simply refuses to display the playing recorded program.
Audio works perfectly.
Yes, I can play the application in overlay mode with Windows Media Player, but then I lose the ability to use the PVR's remote control to fast forward thru commercials, etc.
I have the latest BIOS on the VGA card and the latest mobo (K7N420D-PRO) bios, and have tried nvidia driver versions 43.45 (currently) and 41.09. I have even tried turning off overlay mode, starting the recorded program in the PVR, and enabling overlay mode while it's running...no different - just a black screen.
This is the primary functionality I needed in order to turn my bedroom pc into a PVR, and yet it does not work.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

I'll try and do my best to describe what it is I'm doing.
I've started out with a “flat” image of a product on a white background with a shadow on it. I need to make the background transparent and so that all I’m left with is the product with the shadow on a transparent background.I want to be able to place this image over another image in indesign and have the background remain transparent.
On the first layer I have a clipped out version of the product with no background (All by itself with no background or shadow). On the second layer I have the original “flat” image with the shadow and white background. On this layer I’ve used the multiply blending mode to remove the white background.
Now that I have the product on one layer by itself and the product and shadow on layer two with the multiply blending mode I have an image of the product with a shadow with no background. When I place this into indesign, my image shows up with the white background as if the multiply blending mode isn’t applied.
I’ve tried this on other images. It doesn’t appear that it lets you bring an image over with that blending mode. It's like I'd have to bring over a clipped image and then place that on top of my original image with a blending mode placed on it "in" Indesign.
Hope that make sense?

AppleTV won't play netflix programs

Netflix works on my IPad but won't mirror to Apple TV. Other Apps work, e.g. PBS, Vimeo, on Apple TV, only the Netflix programs won't play on the Apple TV.
What should I do? Thanks

Same issue here. Any feedback? Some prior posts suggest that if any of your sub-accounts (profiles) have an ampersand in them, that kills the streaming on an ATV (so don't call your profile "name & name" for instance).
I've been on the phone multiple times with Netflix. They blame the ISP (rediculous since all other devices on our network stream just fine). I've done all they've asked for (cylced the ATV, reset the ATV, cycled the router, etc.). No change.
The software on the ATV is up to date also. Issue started maybe a month ago?
What's going on?!?

My iMac won't play recorded CDs

My iMac has stopped playing recorded CDs. It will play DVDs and recognizes blank CDs and DVDs. The CDs spin for a time then are ejected. There are no error messages, just ejection. Any suggestions?

I just got a brand new iMac today and was happy with it, until I tried to burn a playlist in iTunes. It keeps flashing "insert blank disc..." - even though finder recognizes there is a blank disc, I tried three different disc. Same message. I used these same discs on my Macbook Pro and it burned them no problem.
Apple's really starting to get on my nerves with product reliability! This iMac is a replacement to one bought in April!!

Premiere CC 2014.2 won't play source/program monitor

I recently installed Adobe Premiere CC 2014.2, and since then no video plays within it, or the source and monitor or the program monitor. I'm on a Dell Inspiron notebook 2.1gh i7, 8GB memory, Intel HD Graphics 4000, ATI Radeon HD 7700m. Was usually working with the previous version, but now despite render normally, he does not play in the Premiere.

.aiff files won't play in finder (and some programs)

Mac Pro 4.1
Doing some long-overdue file cleanup, and when I preview some .aiff files in the finder they won't play. The Apple .aiff sound effect files play, but things I've recorded won't play, although they will play if imported into iTunes. Other audio formats are playing fine in Finder.
Also, a recording program I sometimes use called Tracktion will play files in other formats, but my .aiff files are silent or pure harsh static.
Is there a global setting that might be corrupted somewhere? Could this be the fault of my recent Mavericks installation?
Thanks!

I came across the same problem in Mavericks, some wav files played, others didn't. I found that adding '.wav' to the end of files that didn't audition in Finder cured the problem.
As I have many thousands of sound fx files in different formats, changing them individually was not possible.
There are batch conversion apps which will add the .wav (or other format endings) when batch converting - this is what I have been doing. Export them with no change to format but the filename is now correct to audition.
Mavericks broke the two things I liked most - auditioning sounds, movies, pictures etc from Finder, and the file/folder highlight colours. Just a stupid coloured dot now.

Midi recording won't play when keyboard is off

Hello all! I thank you for answering my last beginner question. Now I have another for you.
I've gotten my Korg M1 to work by replacing the battery and downloading the factory sounds - not an easy task for a beginner. I've since tried to record from the keyboard onto Logic 8. I have the keyboard hooked up to an M-audio fast track pro and can hear the sounds through my headphones. Everything seems to be working but when I record a track (after choosing external midi device and choosing a channel from the fast track pro option in logic's library), it won't play back unless the keyboard is on. When I turn the keyboard back on, it plays back in the first sound from the sound menu (prob grand piano).
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

You need to use a Program Change message for each of the MIDI tracks that are playing your M1. Look at the Inspector at the left hand side of the Logic Arrange window and tick the box where it says 'Program', then choose the number of the program you want your M1 to play, so that this will be kept when you save your arrangement.
You'll need to take an audio output from the M1 back to your interface to record as an audio track (create/select an audio track, select the correct Inputs on your interface and arm it). You can mute MIDI tracks except for the one you want to record and record one track at a time that way.

Logic Pro 8 mutes newly recorded tracks and won't play back until reload...

Seems like this has happened within the last couple of months. When I record audio in Logic and try to play it back, it won't play the audio. The arrange window shows it is there and the regions do NOT show that they are muted (nor does the channel strip). In essence, it acts as if it is muted, but there are no signs that it is. (I even select the regions and mute then unmute them, and mute and unmute the channel strip, but nothing changes. Still no audio.)
So I have to close the project and reopen it. When I reopen it, every region in the previous recording session (audio) is greyed out (muted) in the arrange window. Once I select them and unmute them, they play back perfectly.
This is a very weird situation. Anybody have any ideas about what the issue is?
Thank you!

A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.

DVD won't play in my DVR player

I've read the other posts on this already, but they don't seem to address what I believe is my issue.
I took an mp4 movie into iDVD as "One step DVD from movie", it took 8 hours to burn a 120 minute movie. When the screen said "done" it also said there was 21 minutes left to go. I clicked "close" and it popped an error that it wasn't finished, so I clicked on "continue", I left it go for another hour and the screen never changed from the done/21 minutes screen so this time I clicked "close" and "cancel".
The DVD plays on my MBP, though I'm not crazy about the quality. When I put it in my Panasonic DVR it won't play at all. I know it's not the media, as this is the same media I use in the DVR to burn movies with never a problem (Memorex DVD+Rdl).

Greetings,
I would not rule out the media. You can have a bad disk in a stack, they are just bits of plastic after all.
I would also suggest using DVD-R rather than +R for better compatibility with more DVD Players.
Open your iDVD project.
Go to Advanced > Delete Encoded Assets
Go to iDVD > Preferences > Advanced and lower the Preferred DVD Burning Speed to as low as you can stand. The lower the number the more likely the disk is to be recognized by various DVD Players.
Burn again.
Hope that helps.

Dvd-r recorded from 8mm won't play in macbook pro?

Happy super bowl Sunday! I recently burned some 8mm footage onto a dvd-r using a samsung vhs/dvd converter. The dvd plays perfectly on all dvd players in the house but it won't play on my macbook pro or my imac. I've looked into systems to hook the camera (which by the way is about 15 years old) up to my mac but it's about a 160.00 converter box to go from a/v cables to firewire 400/800.
Anyway, looking at all these forums it seems like I need to find a way to finalize the dvd-r???? Is that all there is to it? I'm not even sure if there is that option on the samsung dvd box? I just spent around $4000.00 on this macbook pro and my home imac. I made the switch for the ease of operation making movies. Unfortunately, so far this is tougher than I thought is would be.
Dave

Thanks for answering. Yes I checked it today and I re-recorded the video again. I chose to finalize it at the end and to my surprise it worked on my computer. However, it will play for a short time and then freeze in different spots. I can't restart it, It won't continue. Dvd player stops it real quick then I try with VLC and it plays even more but still does the same thing.
I'm not sure if it's the speed or something else. There aren't too many options for recording on the Samsung DVD 300 model dvd recorder.
Sure wish this was easier. Should be easier for me. I bought all these apple products for this purpose and it sure is convoluted.

Garageband - "System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011). Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play.

Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play. Ive worked so hard on this and I don't know how to fix it. I am not very skilled or knowledgable in computers and barely know how to operate Garageband as it is. I have many different tracks in this song for different drums and beats. Please someone tell me how to fix this, I'm not even finished it! And again I am not very informed on how to work computers as well as most of you are, just saying. thanks!!!
P.S.: In my about this mac thing, it says i have version 10.9.1, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and Memory is 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Could you do this?
Go to Finder
Go to Applications
Go to Utilities folder
Launch Activity Monitor app
go to its Memory tab on top
tell us what you see at the very bottom?
Here is a sample of mine.
I bet your page/swap amount will be huge.
If there is not enough RAM, OS X temporarily stores RAM data on the harddrive and tries to retrieve it back into RAM when needed, unfortunately that is so slow that GB throws an error as it cannot play it all in real time.

FLV files won't play in other programs

Has anyone experienced this...
I encode FLV's using PP CS3 with no hickups during the encoding. They play fine in Windows Media Player (latest version). But not all players play them. I put them on our streaming server and they won't play in our web pages using the Dreamweaver player. They play fine if i use the jeroenwijering media player but not Adobe's own media player which comes with Dreamweaver.
My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
I used Movavi FLV converter and Riva FLV Encoder and a couple others and nothing works.
Has anyone else experienced this and have they found a solution?

I cannot help you with the playability issues of your FLV's, but:
My biggest problem is that I have several FLV files that I need to convert to some other video format (AVI, MPG, etc.) But none of the programs I've tried will even recognize the FLV files created with PP CS3.
I use Moyea's FLV Plug-in for PrPro. IIRC, it works fine in CS3, though is not supported under CS4.
To date, I have yet to be handed an FLV that it would not Import and edit properly. Thing that I like about it, is that it's a true plug-in and there is no conversion necessary.
I've used FLV-to-AVI, and it's slow. Also, the conversion is an extra step.
Good luck,
Hunt

ITunes won't play/QuickTime RunTime error -- Total Recorder related ...

Hello -- I am having some iTunes issues. It will not play any MP3s in my library ... it will play CDs, but I get an error message when I try to rip them. And, very odd, QuickTime gives me this error:
"The application has requested the RunTime to terminiate it in an unusual way. Please contact ehe applications support team for more information."
I know this is likely based on my installing the nefarious "Total Recorder" (boo!) and I'm well-versed in the issues it has with iTunes and have tried the fixed proposed on apple.com. I have removed it and even scanned my registry to make sure there are no references; and re-installed my audio drivers.
Any ideas?
Dell Inspiron 700m Windows XP Pro

... it's hard in the poor places tonight ...
When I try to rip I get the cryptic "An unknown error occured (-223)."
okay. what antivirus and antispyware applications are you running at the moment?
i've seen one case of that one being caused by interference by an antispyware package:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=825155&#825155
(good lord ... and i now see Justin was getting the same "itunes won't play music" symptom too. i hadn't remembered that.)
perhaps first try switching your antispyware off (experimentally) prior to playing or ripping, to see if that helps. otherwise, let's try a reinstall with antispyware disabled (like Justin) to see if that helps matters.

Audio won't play back after recording.

After recording with my BEHRINGER 1204FX though USB, I can see the audio in its track but it won't play the audio until I unplug my 1204 FX and set my input as built in or something else.
Why can't I listen to my recordings whithout doing this?

You need to create an aggregate device.
