Button won't work on Windows Media Player?

I made a DVD a week ago using DVD Studio Pro. During the videos, I placed a button over video that linked to the menu.
I've used it on every device I own: Mac, PC (Windows Media Player, VLC, RealPlayer), DVD Player, Blu-ray Player. It worked on all of those devices, however: I recently tested it on someone elses Windows Media Player and the buttons did not work.
Is this an issue with that particular WMP, or my DVD? If so, how can I fix it?
Much Appreciated,
Greg

It sounds like you authored correctly and did your part to QA the DVD, so I'm guessing that it's something to do with a specific WMP implementation. Of course, there's no way to be certain from here, but that's the way the smart money would likely bet.

Creative Zen V Plus won't sync with Windows Media Player 11?

My Zen V Plus won't synchronize with Windows Media Player . I plug it into the USB, then an error message pops up in WMP that says "WMP has encountered a problem and needs to close" but if I just move the window aside WMP works fine. I then click 'sync" and it says "preparing to sync" but doesnt move beyond that. I have synced with WMP before, this problem has recently started occurring. I have all the firmware updates on my player, I don't know what is causing this problem.

I just purchased Premiere 13 and the video files won't play in Windows Media Player. I have audio but no video. What can I do? I have Premiere 12 and everything works fine with it.

What can I do?

What are your export settings for this finished video from Premiere Elements 13?
For example - are you using
Publish+Share
Computer
AVChD
with Presets = MP4 H.264 1920 x 1080p30
or something different like
Publish+Share
Computer
MPEG
with Presets = MPEG2 1920 x 1080i30
or something different ....
We are going to have to get at your export settings which gets us to the properties of the finished video that you are trying to play in Windows Media Player.
If you take your finished video from Premiere Elements 13 and import that into a new Premiere Elements 13 project with Add Media/Files and Folders,
does it import into the new project. And, when the video is in the new project, does it display video and have audio in the Edit area monitor?
We need more details of the properties of the finished video. Knowing that you have no problems with this matter in Premiere Elements 12 and that
the finished video plays in CyberLink are important, but they do not help to figure out what is happening in 13 so that it does not happen again.

Media player hotkeys doesn't work with Windows Media Player 11

Hi;
I upgraded my windows media player 10 to 11 version. Now my hotkeys doesn't work. I was wondering if there is a way to solve this problem.

Hi
Do you mean the Toshiba Control buttons which control the WMP function like play, pause, stop, etc
On some Toshiba notebooks the Toshiba control buttons can be configured manually.
Please check this in the control panel -> Toshiba controls.
If you will be not successful I would recommend reinstalling the Toshiba utility again

Export FCP seq in a way that will work on Windows Media Player (good grief)

Hello all (again).
Before getting down to business I wanted to thank “FxDude,” TopoTone,” and “governor” for their assistance to my recent posts. By the way- (to all) sorry for the double postings. I was in a time crunch and kind of panicked.
With that said- here’s my deal…
I’ve created a short (5min) commercial for a community college. The project was “dirty work” (which I think is the industry term for taking low quality video from multiple sources, cameras, and formats, and turning it into a single decent looking video). If it isn’t the term- perhaps it should be. Note to self – wow, that was way more work than I ever want to do again. Anyway, I digress. The video is done and looks great as a DVD playing on TV’s or projector etc. Cool? Cool.
Now, although the school will be using the DVD (in most cases) via the mediums of TV and projection, they have also informed me that in many cases, they will be playing the DVD on their various PC laptops and PC desktops alone – aka viewing the DVD on their actual computer screen. Of course, being a community college in California- it’s all PC and all Windows Media Player for them. Further, being a community college- they all run basic versions of WMP with no QuickTime or any other plugins that would facilitate many of Mac’s avi codecs, and they’re not allowed to download such things (at least on the machines owned and operated by the school). Poop I say… POOP!
Of course, as we all know- (in general) most “dirty work” SD videos formatted for NTSC look like dog crap when played on a computer screen (especially full screen modes) mainly because of interlacing etc etc. Since I worked my butt off trying to make crap look decent and succeeded, im sure u can understand my desire to not move back to crap.
What I need- (what I think I need?)
1. I need a version of the video that will play easily on a standard PC via a standard version of Windows Media Player.
2. I need it to look as good a possible.
What I know so far- (what I think I know so far)
1. I need to export a deinterlaced version of the original FCP timeline (sequence).
2. I need the final version to be .wmv file
What I don’t know- (pretty sure I don’t this)
1. What’s the best method of achieving the above? Currently, (based on what I do know and what I have loaded on my mac) I have three
options for achieving the above. FYI- I have a working version of the plugin flip4mac which offers a wmv export option in both my QuickTime conversion window as well as my compressor.
a. Export using QuickTime conversion > choosing wmv, and messing around with the settings to get the best quality.
b. Export using Compressor > choosing wmv, and messing around with the settings to get the best quality
c. Convert a high quality version of the video (perhaps h264 or some other good looking avi using mpeg streamclip to wmv.
My questions- (bless all of you for reading this far- good grief)
1. What’s the best way to do the above?
2. Is there a way, workflow, codec, setting, or religion I can use to get this done in the least amount of steps?
3. I’ve been told that there are some codecs that are by their nature deinterlaced- h264?, is this correct?
4. Based on my issue, what do you think I should do?
My Specs
Sequence Settings
F = 720 x 480, AR NTSC DV(3:2). PAR= NTSC – CCIR 601 / DV (720x480), Anamorphic Checked, FD= Lower / Even, ET= 29.97,
Comp.= DV / DVCPRO-NTSC
Advanced Seq Settings
All same with the addition of quality set to Highest, Scan Mode = Interlaced, and AR set to 16x9.
Clip Settings = same as Seq settings
Once again-
Thanks you guys (as always) for you time-
Terry

Hey Terry
in the corporate world wee have to contend with clients who are all windows based and prevented from installing anything on their systems.
I use Flip4Mac, Studio Pro HD, with the following mix of settings;
Open clip in QT, I do also use compressor but for some reason I like using QT for exporting to WMV.
File/Export
Export:movie to windows media
Use: One pass VBR, Presentation (high), 16:9
Options>
Advanced... input type: interlace Lower field first(DV), output type: progressive
Coding method: Two pass VBR
Give this a shot and then tweak to suit your needs, oh and you can save your settings as a preset for QuickTime.
Within Compressor there is no export to WMV, so you have to start with another setting and create your own saving it for future use.

Will QuickTime Pro Decoders work in Windows Media Player?

I am working on a Notebook/Laptop with Windows XP Home. This machine does not play DVDs in Windows Media Player. I am considering upgrading to Quicktime Pro for all of its functions. I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Thanks...

I was just wondering if this would fix Windows Media Player too?
Probably not. QuickTime Pro doesn't include a DVD decoder anyway; if you want to play unprotected DVDs in QuickTime, you need the MPEG-2 playback component, which is completely separate from and not part of QuickTime Pro. Protected DVDs require a dedicated DVD player application.

Dvd won't play on Windows media player

I have used idvd 6 to burn a final cut express movie onto a dvd. However, when I try to play it on my pc, it will not work. It works on a dvd player, but not Windows media player. Is there any way to make this work?
Thanks!

HI there, I am too having this issue, I have never had this problem before. I always test the dvd in my windows p.c. to make sure it is viewable. I forgot to do it this time, and low and behold when I gave it to a few people, they were also not able to view it. 2 pc's in my office keep saying that it is missing an mpg2 plugin so can not play. The other pc, it just keeps playing the main menu, there is nothing for them to click to view it. Now mine at home will not play either, it has no menus on the screen, but it plays the menu music. Now my p.c. is up to date so there should not be any reason it will not play. I have burned at 1x, verbatim disc's etc.. It plays fine on my Mac, but even there I have just noticed that I used to be able to click with the mouse on each title to play. Now I have to scroll on the menu, then play from the dvd player control. Any help would be appreciated. They have been playing on a TV with the player though, thanks as always, Ileen

Sk-2061 Keyboard Multi-media keys not working on windows media player

I have an HP ENVY Recline 27-k150xt TouchSmart All-in-One CTO Desktop PC that came with the SK-2061 keyboard. The problem is like i said in my subject. However, I have also tried restarting the HID services and setting them to automatic which I read helped with the volume keys...that did not fix my multimedia keys.
All that i can do with the MM keys is when I have the player active i can press the play/pause button and then the play/pause button on the player is selected but I still have to hit the space bar to "press" the button.
I need to be able to pause and play the media player while in a document (i'm transcribing some audio files).
Thanks!

Ha! Nevermind I figured it out. For anyone else who is a dingbat just hit the function key and f7...man i feel dumb

Windows Media Player file (mpeg-2) to imovie

hi
i have this sony camcoreder that has no fire wire port
i know that it will not work direct with imovie
does any one know if i can take them off my windows xp as a mpeg-2 it works in windows media player but not quickk time
onto a memery stick then onto a mac

What sort of camera do you have, why do you think it won't work with imovie.
If indeed you can't import straight to your mac and put the mpeg2 file onto a USB stick you can convert it for imovie using something like mpeg streamclip.

Playing music through Air Tunes using Windows Media Player

Hello to all.
I am planning on buying the Air Port Express so I can play music wirelessly from my Dell. The only problem I have with is that I can't use the keyboard media buttons (play/pause, stop, next, previous) with iTunes. These buttons work with Windows Media Player, so I was hoping that I could use WMP instead of iTunes. Can this work? Or, is there a way to make the buttons work with iTunes?
Thanks a ton.

Don't know about doing this in windows, but on a Mac you can re-map the keys for those commands to different keys on the keyboard. Or perhaps it would be better to say that you can map ADDITIONAL keys to those commands. There should be something to allow you to do the same thing in Windows.
Good luck!

Content Engine compatability with Windows Media Player

I am currently running ACNS version 5.5 on our CE510 Content Engine. We want to set this box up to serve VOD requests from WMT. I think the clients on site are all using Windows Media Player version 10. Does this version of ACNS software work with Windows Media Player 10?

Dan
this brings up an interesting point. The content (which is canned Video on an Intranet Web site) is HTTP? I am wasting my time here by trying to use the Windows MP services?? Perhaps I already have what I need...
Your comments appreciated.

Export options for use with Windows Media Player

In Captivate 5, what formats can be exported to (now that AVI is no longer a choice) that will work with Windows Media Player? Unfortunately a Flash based file is not an option in this instance.

Hi there
You could publish from Captivate as FLV or F4V, then use a conversion utility to convert to AVI if you want.
Cheers... Rick
