Are mpegs and other vid formats no longer "saveable" in 10.4????

My brand new Macbook running 10.49 with all the latest upgrades, as well as my iBook running 10.4something are not able to SAVE and REPLAY downloaded mpegs (or any other format).
While the movies play fine while in Safari, Firefox and IE, once they are saved only a 4 or 5 kb icon is saved on the desktop which gives a "cannot open" message when I attempt to open.
My old 17" iMac running 10.39 saves movies and replays them just fine.
Is there a setting to fix this, or is this a feature that has been deleted in 10.4 to force the user to upgrade to Quicktime Pro? Thanks to all who reply. BW

Saving "video" that's played via the QuickTime browser plug-in has always required the "Pro" upgrade.
"Direct" links can be saved with just a Control-click on the link. If the file opens in it's own window you can also use the browser to save it.
Other formats that are played via the QuickTime browser plug-in would require you to "find" the link to the source file and then save it using your browser.
The Safari Activity window can help you find any page element.

  • Illustrator CS5 Not the Default for EPS and other Vector Formats

    Hey everyone, the issue I'm haveing is not just with Illustrator, but sense I couldnt find a general CS5 forum, and Illustrator was the last CS5 application i noticed this for I'm hoping to find some answers here.
    So on to the issue....
    I have noticed that on other computers (Macs for sure) that Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver etc... are set as the default handlers of certain file types that are associated with each application, and as such, give each filetype there own little icons reflecting such.
    However on my system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) this does not seem to be the case. I can go in and set them as default manually, which I have done for the filetypes I use most frequently, but I do not get to enjoy the nice icons that made for each filetype, i just get a bland, default icon that is the same for every filetype.
    Is there a way to fix this issue?
    Thanks for you help.

    Yes, I think i mentioned it before that I knew I could set the default app through Explorer (right clicking, going to "open with" etc..) but this doesn't let you use any of the custom icons that come with the adobe applications, it sets it as the default icon associated witht he particular application. I'll take a look in the properties when I get home but, but I think you may be referring to the "open with" dialogue.
    Most applications like Firefox, iTunes etc.. have a button in there preferences menu to "set as default" for all file types they can open, however I don't see such an option in any Adobe applications except for bridge, and that doesn't seem to do anything.

    I believe in the properties pane for one of those files it will display the default app for opening such files and you can  change it there as well and make it apply to all similar files.

    Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
    I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
    BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly.

    We usually advice first to Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache in case of such problem and then do a check for extensions to see if any are causing the problem.
    * Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
    * Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    * Press "Cmd + Shift + R" (MAC)
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Just got a new Macbook Air. How can I get quicktime to play wmv and other video formats?

    I just purchased a new Macbook Air. I have loaded quicktime, but it doesn't play all formats such as wmv and others. What is the best way to accomplish this?

    Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac and operating system, of:
    RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
    http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from  http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm  (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFl ash
    You can check here what version of Flash player you actually have installed:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • How to play FLAC and Other Lossless Formats on iTunes for Windows Vista x64

    Is it possible?
    If so, how?

    iTunes cannot play FLAC or any other lossless format other than Apple Lossless or WAV. If your tracks are in FLAC or another format, you'll have to convert them with another utility to a format iTunes can support: AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, or Apple Lossless.

  • PSE7 Are People and other Tags Stored in Image File

    Does anyone know if the People and other tags are stored by PSE7 in the image file? Since there are well defined "Keyword" data fields in both the IPTC and XMP metadata standards, I would think PSE would store them in the image file in addition to whatever it puts in the Catalog. However, none of my other programs that read image metadata (PhotoME, PIE, iExif) are finding anything. Other programs such as Windows Photo Gallery put the keywords in the image file.
    I don't have a lot of experience with PSE so perhaps I am just missing something obvious.

    PSE stores the "truth" about keyword tags, dates, captions, notes, star ratings, stacks, version sets, albums, and projects in its "catalog" file.  If you change a date, caption, note, or star rating, PSE also writes it back into the file's metadata (the "EXIF").  But for keyword tags, you need to give the command File > Write Keyword Tag to get it written back.

  • Converting "FLAC" and other Audio Format files from Vuze to iTunes

    Good afternoon. I have a Mac Book computerthat I purchased about two years ago.  I have ITunes loaded on mycomputer. I use Vuze as a software program to download music and video toITunes.  However, it appears that iTunes will not concert "FLAC"and other formats of audio from Vuze. Can anyone recommend what free softwaresoftware program is preferable to use to convert the "FLAC" and otheraudio formats from Vuze to use in iTunes?  Thank you in advance for anyassistance you can provide concerning this issue.

    I have used xACT in the past, and I now use Max for all my FLAC conversion needs. If you need to tag the FLAC files before conversion, Tag is basic but good.
    For conversion inside iTunes you might want to check out Quick Convert from Doug's AppleScripts.

  • HT4976 why some messages are received and others are read ?

    I have an iPhone and I've been sending imessage to other people with iPhone.  Some messages are delivered and some are read.  What is the difference and why is this happening ?

    Depends on the receiver. They can set their read receipt to on and you will get read on your end when they actually open up the message app to read it. If they have read receipts set to off then all you will get is a delivered even if they read it.

  • How to make a slide show or edition including mpeg and other formats

    Hi,
    I am i bit puzzled by the use of iphoto/imovie/itunes.
    I have a Sony camera which generates jpg photos and mpg videos; besides, i have 3gp and mp4 videos from cell phones.
    Firstly, i imported all of them to iphoto. I used a automator workflow to help importing from hotsynced Palm centro files, to discover the first problem with the 3gp files: they could not be iported by workflows.
    Still, they could be seen in iphoto, but then i tried to make a slide show. My idea was to put the photos and videos of a certain event to be watched together, or at least to be able to watch the videos in a sequence, without having to click on each one.
    I didnt get it in iphoto, so i switched to imovie. it was even worse, since it cannot import the mpgs and the 3gps (the jpg photos were ok). What could i do about that? is there any converter or other way?
    then i tried the itunes, and it was the opposite: it imported and played in sequence the mpg videos, but not the photos. This is a workaround anyway, since the program expects to play movies, and makes my daughter a "star", but that`s ok, she is one to me.
    i'll be thankful for hints on how to make the imovie compatible with the 3gp and mpgs, or finding some way to do this edition in iphoto or even with itunes.
    regards

    I see, it sounds reasonable , i think i will buy the pro and try.
    QT Pro ($30) and MPEG Streamclip (free) complement each other. In many cases one can do things that the other cannot. For instance, MPEG Stramclip can handle/edit multiplexed formats while QT Pro cannot. QT Pro allows layering of data tracks while Streamclip does not. Streamclip merges file streams more easily than QT Pro but QT Pro allows the "Movie to MPEG-4" export to "passthrough" the video while Streamsclip does not. And so on and so forth...
    I was referring to the mpegs from the Sony camera, of which a have hundreds, shot in the last 3 or 4 years, mainly from my 5-year old daughter. Is the above true to these?
    That still doesn't help. By "sony camera," are you referring to a still digital camera (multiplexed MPEG-1) or a Sony video camcorder taking MPEG-4/AVCHD with AC3 audio in an MPEG wrapper, a Sony DVD/HDD camera storing some kind of MPEG-2/AC3 files. On a Mac, the extension MPG normally refers multiplexed MPEG-1 (or MPEG-1 audio layer) files while MPEG normally refers to multiplexed MPEG-2 video content with MPEG-1, layer 2 audio (MPEG2/MP2) but may also refer to files with MP3 or AC3 files in an MPEG, VOB, or TS wrapper. In addition it may loosely refer to elementary M2V video streams (M2V video file paired with a separate AIFF or AC3 file), a standard MPEG4/AAC file (in an MOV or MP4 wrapper) or a standard H.264/AAC file in MOV, MP4, or M4V wrapper). Since the handling, conversion, editing requirements vary with each type of file, it becomes important to what specific kind of content/file container we are dealing with here.

  • Photoshop and other software taking too long to close

    Anytime I try to close out of one of the larger Adobe programs (Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, etc), they take a long time to shutdown which can be very frustrating. Often times they just lock up and I have to force quit them. This occurs whether I have open files or no files at all. My computer specs aren't the best, but they also arent bad. I have a 2010 Macbook Pro with 8gb of ram, over 150gb free on my HDD, and I have an Intel Core i7.
    Im considering upgrading to an SSD to improve overall performance on my computer by im wondering if there is anything else I can do.

    Seem unlikey it is HD that causes slow shutdown and locking up.  Exactly how are you closing program and how long is too long?

  • Transferring 8mm and other video formats

    I'm doing lots of video projects in FCE for people with older video formats like 8mm. I was going to just buy a 8mm camcorder to play these tapes because I figured I can get one relatively inexpensive ($100 or so) and just use it as my player. I know there are also player decks for these tapes that are more expensive ($300ish) and I was just wondering what other video editors out there were using? An old camera or did you buy a player. Any tips or advice regarding brands, places to look, would be appreciated.

    Hello There,
    You will need to buy a Digital8 camcorder. FCE won't take the regular 8 or Hi8 video without it being converted to digital. A Digital8 camcorder can play regular 8 and Hi8 tapes and can also convert them for use with FCE.

  • Why some PDF docs displayed are garbled and others are not?

    I've had this love hate relationship with adobe for the past few days.  I'm so frustrated since I can't seem to figure why other pdf docs display information correctly while others are garbled. It looks as if the letters/text overlap.  I 'm loosing sleep over this.  I'm at my wits end. Can someone please help? I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
    Thanks,
    C

    Hi Allegria11,
    Don't lose sleep over Adobe! Let's see what we can figure out. But I have lots of questions to get us started:
    Are you creating the PDFs yourself, or viewing PDFs from different sources?
    What are you using to view the PDFs (Reader, Acrobat, and what versions)?
    Do these PDFs all use the same fonts, or different ones?
    Do you know whether the fonts are embedded/subsetted in the PDFs? (You can check by choosing File > Properties and clicking the Fonts tab.
    Let's start there, and we will dig deeper if none of these shed any light on the problem.
    Best,
    Sara
