Burned DVD's play on Phillips DVD Player, but not on computer DVD player

Hey Everyone,
I'm burning my reel in DVD STUDIO PRO 4 via MPEG-2 files exported from FCP to Compressor and then brought into DVD Studio Pro 4.
I select BUILD/FORMAT and go through the steps (insert blank DVD, etc.) and when the DVD is spit out of my macbook pro, it works perfectly fine on a DVD Player, but when I insert it back into my macbok, it spins for about 45 seconds and then spits itself right back out.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
NOTE: I have successfully burned other DVD's using TOAST so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
thanks again.

CompUsa is not one of the brands often recommended around here, Taiyo Yuden is a good one
Take a look at this thread for info on how to increase compatibility

(Note neither Memorex nor CompUsa top Class media, and may actually be 3rd class or worse depending on the ID)
There was also a report that a new Sony would not play DVD SP discs
Also what is happening? Not playing at all? Bad Playback?

Dear Nay2000,
I have the same problem, my girl-friend saved a bigger Gigabyte library from her old laptop before she sold it, then at some point she realized that she couldn't play many songs that she had transfered. Now, I paid those 30 quid as well, and it doesn't play 99% of the files, that is very frustrating, is there any way you got it revived?
Regards.

In order to load games on Facebook you need to set the Flash plugin to allow third-party content
1. Go to the Flash player Global Storage Settings panel.
2. Make sure '''Allow third-party Flash content to store data on your computer''' is check marked.
See:

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

I have music that is playing within the iTunes program, but not on my iPod. How can I fix this?

Skipping songs
The iPod seems to fail to play all of the occasional track that iTunes, and indeed other PMPs, are happy to play. There is probably some minor technical error in the internal structure of the file which is normally ignored by other playback software but causes the Classic to bail out.
If you use Windows you may like to try scanning the files with MP3Validator which can find & fix some internal MP3 errors.
Some users have also suggested that completely removing all id3 tags and then replacing the information can be a solution. This can be achieved in iTunes by selecting an affected track, right/control clicking and using the option Convert id3 tags> None. Since some files may mistakenly have more than one tag you may need to repeat this action. Once you have confirmed that no tag is present you can replace the tag information using Convert id3 tags > V2.3 (I believe it is recommended to avoid using V2.4).
Personally I have found files for which these solutions don't work. In this case the workaround is either to re-rip the tracks or get iTunes to re-encode the file, e.g.convert AAC to MP3 or vice versa and sync the newly encoded file to the iPod instead. Because transcoding will cause a loss of fidelity you should keep your original file so that if a future iPod firmware resolves this issue you can put your original files back onto the iPod.

I have a iPhone 4S and when watching videos on the internet sound cuts out as the video is playing. The rest of the video plays with no sound. Sometimes when I pause It and play again sound comes back but not all the time. can anyone help?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Films play on my iPod but not my computer

films play on my iPod but not my computer can any one tell why this is happening

I'm having the same problem. All suggested fixes from Apple have not worked. I get the same picture in the corner, and the menu screen will show up too and play music, show the screen shot in the corner for each of the scenes, but no movie will play. I'm at my wits end -- I hope someone has a new fix to try.

.mov will play on iPhone but not on computer

Hello,
I have had this problem intermittently but it has me a little confused. Here is what's going on.
i have recorded several .mov files on my iPhone 5 and I can play each and every one of them from the phone without issues. Now, when i plug the phone into my MacBook, a few of the movies will not play with ANY media player. For example, if I try to open the movie with Quicktime or any other player, like VLC, it is not recognized. It is as if the file is damaged.
Why can my phone play the movie but it appears damaged when plug into my Macbook and/or copied to my machine?
Thanks!

Hi E30,
I think you should have updated media players as you are trying to play the clips recorded from iphone 5.
So, you should check your quick time player version & vlc too.
Here is the link where you can check your OS X version & download then install the right version of quick time player:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#quicktime
You can also update your vlc player version if needed:

Hope it would help please let me know if it doesn't.

Playing on viewer is fine but not on output

I play timeline and out put to vcr to record my project. The canvuas show playing but not on output. It freezes. I read other people that happen to them. I try to reset canvas fit to window but it still happen freeze again. Is there anyway other to reset? I have project that are due.

It would help to know what format(s) you're working with and how you're outputting from FCP. Do you have a card (ie AJA/Kona) or just using Firewire with DV25?
Many things can cause playback problems, among them are:
Canvas and Viewer window set larger than "Fit to Window"
Too many overlays turned on; Image+Wireframe, Title Safe, Excess Luma, etc.
Any of FCP's windows overlapping - even slightly
Any of FCP's windows partially off screen
Items in Timeline not fully rendered
Playback quality set incorrectly

My movies won't play. you can hear them but not watch

Ok any video i put on my ipod 5th gen won't work.
i can press play on it it will play the audio of that movie but not the video it just shows the artwork of that movie thats it.
Help pleaseeeeee?

On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.

HTML5 quiz project plays if published with CP8, but not CP7

I have a project that only consists of a title page and quiz questions that is published to HTML5 with CP7. It plays fine on an iPad, but will not load on a desktop browser like IE and Chrome; the wheel spins for a second and then just a blank page.
What's funny is that I just tried publishing the same project with the trial version of CP8 and now the project plays fine from my LMS. What's even more bizarre is that I have other project files that are a mix of regular pages and quiz questions, and they play fine in HTML5 on the iPad and desktop, all published with CP7; it's just this one project file that consists of quiz questions that's causing problems.
Any clues on how to get the project running in HTML5 on desktop when publishing with CP7?

Sounds to me like you need to reinstall your FTP program instead.
If the exact same files that you publish can be uploaded by your colleague and will work, then the problem is not with Captivate's output but in the transfer method.
Perhaps your FTP program is messed up or perhaps you are uploading the files to the server with the wrong file permission settings.

IPad won't play sound with video? Will play music and radio apps, but not if there is a video component. Same for my iTunes movies.

Help! My iPad won't play any audio when there is a video component to an app or game. It will play my music and I can see the video on my movies, but not the movie sound. Turning off and turning it on again worked as a temporary fix once, but now that is not working either. Been going on for an week or two?

Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Firefox Browser Outlook SkyDrive playing m4v file with sound but not video

Firefox Browser Outlook SkyDrive playing the m4v file. I have sound but not the video. Sound and video play ok with IE10.

I'm amazed that each time these type of problems arise we get the same advice time-and-again to go through this exceedingly manual process of due-diligence checks-and-balances to figure out what it is that we have as ad-ons that supposedly now clash with changes that FF have made to the browser.
Everything is provided to FF with the post yet we are expected to check in SafeMode everything that was passed compatible when FF was updated.
It all comes across a bit lazy I have to say - no disrespect intended to some at FF who will no doubt come back to "slap my wrist", telling me not to be "rude", "refrain from using so many ????? together", telling me yet again "the problem is with your plugins" - especially when history shows us that such checks I'm asked to make "after the event" often do not resolve the problem, more so given that the last FF Update validated all of them, switch off those that weren't and checks on them since show that all are the latest up-to-date without any changes being made to them by me . Then the problem gets resolved by someone else on the forum basically beta testing what should have been checked-out thoroughly by FF in the first place.
Sorry to go on a bit of a rant-and-rage B-U-T we are not getting these repeated problems withe other browsers which we are getting more and more frequently with FF.
Never mind. I'll go through this rigmarole of checks yet AGAIN, no doubt then having to put up with the same sequence of threads from the likes of Morbus re the Plugin-container fiasco "Nothing to do with this [whatever we put forward it might be]. Try flash [or this or that or something else]. Uninstall it and reinstall it. Make sure it's up to date too.", like we're a bunch of morans who don't have the dummy sense to check these things out thoroughly before we go asking for help on the FF Forum.
"Let's blame the add-ons that have nothing to do with FF" Nowt has changed on that front since 08/2010.
Still, what can we really expect from a free browser? A browser that works?????
I hate IE --- but at least it isn't failling over with hardware acceleration issues every few updates!!!!!

DVD will play in standalone DVD player but NOT on computer

Hi all,
I created an iDVD project and burned an image to an external drive. I then burned the .img file to DVD-R disks.
They will not play on my computer, but *will play* on my standalone DVD player. In fact they won't even mount. The burned disks are auto ejected after trying to mount.
I tested other DVD's and they mount and play fine.
Since the disks, there are 4 of them, won't mount on the computer but will play on the standalone DVD player, I think the problem lies in the "finishing" of the DVD-R. Eventhough I took the time and verified each disk after the burn.
Any help would be appreciated.

The next possibility is a problem with your own particular installation of 10.6.2 then, palefox. How did you update to it? Using Software Update or a "Combo" or "Delta" update? Any particular third party "haxies" or system extensions installed that may not be playing nicely with the latest upgrade? It would be interesting to see what happens if you create a completely "clean" copy of 10.6.2 on an external and see if it will read when booted from that? This would eliminate the possibility of third party conflicts.
I'm guessing that you have already tried the 'standard" things (like booting from one of your bootable clones of Snow Leopard and running Disk Utility to repair the drive and permissions on the internal).
If not, then give it a go. If that doesn't fix it, try downloading the (huge, I'm afraid) Combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL959 and installing it over the top of your current system.
If that still doesn't resolve it then an archive and install would seem to be the next cab on the rank!
Cheers
