Can I play WMV files in a PPT using screen share?

Will the embedded WMV files in a PPT play correctly using screen share? My CEO has a presentation through Adobe Connect. We plan to screen share. Does this allow Connect to play WMV files? I've google over and over but I seem to get answers for file share instead.

If you convert the videos to MP4 or FLV you can upload them directly to  a share pod and play them back in the room. Please don't play videos through screen share for the following reasons:
Screen sharing runs at 3-5 Frames Per Second (FPS), while your video runs at around 30 FPS. Thus your attendees only see about 10% of the videos frames and that makes them look choppy.
No audio is broadcast through your screen share, it is just the image of your monitor.
Window's media player (the player most likely to play back WMV content) has anti-piracy stuff built into it, and it notorious for blocking the media from being capture by a screen recording application, which Connect's screen sharing functionality tends to fall into.
It will just make you and your attendees angry and frustrated.
Supported file types in the Share pod: PPT, PPTX, PNG, MP4, F4V, Adobe PDF, SWF, FLV, JPEG, and MP3 file types
To have a video embedded in your PPT that plays back in a Connect Meeting you will likely need Adobe Presenter 10

  • HT3775 can't play wmv file on quicktime?

    I can't play .wmv files on quicktime.  I installed both QuickTime MPEG2 and Flip4Mac WMV hoping that this would solve the problem but it did not.  When trying to play any audio .wmv file I get an error box stating "the document (filename).wmv could not be opened.  The movie is not in a format the QuickTime Player understands.  You may need to install additional software to open this type of file".  Anyone know what I might need here?

    Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

  • Despite the newest Flip4Mac plugin being installed and Firefox recognizing it, and it is selected to play wmv files, Firefox does not use it.

    What else do I need to say?

    Firefox also did NOT import all my settings from Safari, despite being asked to.

  • Can't play .wmv files in Quicktime 7?

    I used to be able to play a library of .wmv files in Quicktime with no problems but all the sudden, I received an error message saying, "can't play this movie". They are only short 1-2 minute clips.
    I successfully downloaded the most recent version of Quicktime from Apple's site but that didn't help.
    Can you help? Thanks, Samattjack

    QuickTime has never even opened Windows Media Player formats without third party software help:
    http://flip4mac.com is that software and any issues can only be resolved by them, not Apple.
    Not a Quicktime software issue.

  • Can't play .wmv files in QuickTime (Leopard) 10.6.1

    I couldn't open either .wmv or flip4mac - getting the "quicktime player needed to run this app" error message.
    I try VLC ,DIVX also convert files using DIVX but no sound after converting and no video
    i don't know what to do
    any good solution would be appreciated

    I just got a new iMac with 10.6.2 which uses QT Player 10.0. I downloaded the latest Flip4Mac. It used to be, when I got an email with a WMV, I could play it in QT with Flip4Mac just by double-clicking on the WMV file. Now, I usually just get a blank QT screen. Sometimes, after QT opens, I can then open Flip4Mac and sometimes it plays, but not very often.
    The Flip4Mac version is 2.3.1.2
    Love the icon Baby Boomer. What is it? Flash?

    Limnos,

  • Playing .wmv files on orig iPad

    How can i play  .wmv files on my orig iPad?  Looks like video files with .wmv file types change to QuickTime, but, will not then open and play. Is there a work-around for this?  Thanks.

    .WMV's are not natively supported, as they are a proprietary Microsoft format.
    You will need to download a video player that supports them.
    I like avplayerhd, but you can search the app store.

  • Unable to Play wmv files om Macbook pro

    How can I play wmv files on my MacBook pro?  I always could play them but recently unable to.  I get the message that Flip4Mac must be updated.  I try to update but it says it is already updated.  Also tried updating Quick player and gert the same reply.  Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

    I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
    Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
    As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
    So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
    - TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
    - I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
    - I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
    CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

    why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

    Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
    Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

    macfriedchikkin's reply would make sense to you if you were trying to open a camera, but if you are trying to view streming media from a web site that is a different story. It helps to be very specific about what you are tyring to do on these forums.
    I belive you would go into Firefox Preferences menu and tell it  to use VLC as the application to play WMV files. I'm still running Tiger,  however, so I can't tell you if it the latest version works wel that way. The Tiger version doesn't seem to, but a lot may have changed since then. (I'm only just getting around to installing Leopard next week now that there are too may apps I can't run on Tiger. ) Perhaps someone else on this forum can better help you set  up the player in your browser.
    Or you can cut out the middleman and give VLC the direct video URL:
    Choose Open File from the File menu and paste in the URL of the video, say,
    http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-1
    or http://azul.streamguys.com/auduboncal-2
    Your media should play this way. Dont forget to save the playlist for later.
    I'l keep investigating on my end, and yes, I'm also  encouraging certain people who are streaming windows media in to switching to a different format

  • Can't play .mov files in Xine

    Hi
    I am pretty new to Arch but it is great so far.  I am running vanilla KDE4 with Xine as the Phonon backend.  One problem I'm having is that I can't play .mov files.  Other stuff like .wmv and .avi play ok.  I also have the codecs package installed.
    For example, no luck with this file
    http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/Cros … llUps1.mov
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the forums DeKay.
    This isn't going to help, but I can confirm this using Xine 1.2 (dev) and almost a pure FFmpeg backend. ffplay and Mplayer can both play this file properly, so it's without a doubt a Xine problem. I ran a gdb trace on it and didn't really get anything to report upstream either.
