Can't Get Website Videos or Radio Streaming to Work

Just got a new MacBook today, and unable to get videos at CNN, MSNBC, AOL, MLB, etc. to play. Managed to install WMP9, but CNN keeps saying "cannot detect WMP".
Tried to listen to radio stations KNBR and WFAN, and no luck.
All these things worked on the HP laptop I just sent back, without even having to download plug-ins.
But even with all the plug-ins downloaded, including Flash and Real Player, I STILL DON'T GET ANY VIDEO OR AUDIO FROM THE ABOVE WEBSITES!!!
HELP! Is there any way to get the video and audio content of the many websites to work on this ADVANCED?? computer?

Okay I just wanted to get back with you with some feedback. I had a MacBook pro for a week for testing for my job sight so I know the drawbacks for streaming video playback. My own computer is a PowerMac G5 and a 17" PowerBook so I have both PowerPC Macs, here's the scoop.
Windows Media Player alone will barely do anything on the Intel based Macs, it's virtually unusable. Flip4Mac was released last week for the Intel based Macs but it was released in beta and then somehow disappeared. There may have been too many bugs, it should be back very soon.
Microsoft is just very rude to the Mac world so get used to it. Microsoft just doesn't want Mac users to enjoy the benefits of streaming video content as the Windows users but don't be discouraged as most streaming content on the web is turning to flash which works on both platforms perfectly.
On the PowerPC Macs doesn't like Safari but welcomes Firefox and plays the videos perfectly. AOL video plays on any Mac browser so there was no trouble there either. CNN is my homepage and I watch videos there too without a hitch. Using Safari, Flip4Mac is required to play CNN videos but using FireFox windows media player launches right inside the browser and playes perfectly.
If you are a Windows switcher and just coming to the Mac side I hope these small issues don't discourage you and make you regret leaving Windows but there's always a price to pay on either platform. The price of safe internet browsing and email sharing and no virus worries of in terms of downloading virtually any web content will cost you having to get irritated when there's Windows only streaming content or the one or 2 web sights that only welcome Windows Internet Explorer. Incidentally MSNBC's videos require a Windows Internet Explorer only so Macs are not welcome.
I have been a Mac user for 10 years and have never once regretted switching from my PC.
Well at least if it's necessary you can at least install a copy of Windows XP SP2 since you have a dual boot machine.

In camera on iPad with the iso7 I can not get the video aspect of camera to work., any ideas?

In the camera app. I can take pics. But when I touch the video ,to change to taking a video it does not let me. All I can do is take pics. Any ideas of what I can do to make this work.

It took me a whole to work it out as well, it's not at all obvious. you don't press "video", like any normal person would assume. You have to slide those words up and down. Some of the design choices they have made in ios7 are just plain weird. My favourite is in Game Center... They have hidden the "play game" option behind three little dots.

Help! How can I get my video to show on my website?

Hi
I created an interactive book in InDesign CS5.5 and exported the .swf file to my desktop to include all the media (a video) and the interactive page turns. I generated an HTML page and according to this page, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/827/cpsid_82754.html, there was supposed to be a 'Resources folder' with the video asset in there. However this folder was not created.
When I open the html page in my browser, everything works perfectly.
However, when I went to upoad the html and .swf files to my website, http://www.avantiandg.co.uk/ the last page with the video does not show.
My questions are:
1. How can I access the resources folder that is supposed to be created that I am supposed to upload to my website folder?
2. How can I get the video to load up correctly?
Thanks

maybe a solution:
Videos contained in interactive files must be converted to M4V format before being imported to Indesign, AVI, H264 or MPG won't appear once the file exported to SWF.
In HTML the ressource folder is normally next to the root file of your site (index.html) no?

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time?

Welcome to the forum.
As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

HT201412 Can't get my video app to work on my iPhone it just won't open

Can some on help can't get my video app to open up just goes straight back to screen

Have you tried to force the Video app to quit and then relaunch?
If the issue affects only a single app, try closing just that app:
Press the Home button to return to the Home screen.
Double-tap the Home button to display recent apps.
Tap and hold the affected app until the red minus appears.
Tap the red minus to quit the app.
Press the Home button, then restart the app.
You can also try restarting the iPhone.

I can't get my video toto work

I can't get my video to work on my iPad.... I have never used it before so today I thought it would be nice to take a video... I did look it up on line but everyone is saying I have to slide the marked video to the middle of the screen, and I have done all that but it still won't work... Thank you

Swipe up or down on the screen - anywhere on the screen - until the word Video appears in yellow type on the right. That indicates that the video mode has been selected. Then tap on the big red dot to start recording, tap the big red button when you are done recording.

I get choppy video on netflix streaming online

how can i fix choppy video on netflix streaming online

What version Mini do you have? How much RAM?
What is your internet connection and speed?
Not knowing that, first I would say insure that you have
the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight installed. Next,
do you have any other apps running at the same time?
Which browser are you using? Also, is this all the time
or occasionallly?
I have a 2010 Mini (Mountain Lion installed) that I use as an
HTPC. Most of the time, I have no real issues with the video
from Netflix. There are occasions when video is pretty choopy.
However, I can view the same program at a later date and it plays
fine. Sometimes the problem can be at the Netflix end or with the
connection.

Can't get any video playback in program or source monitor after updating premiere

I'm having a problem I hope someone might be able to shed some light on. I just updated my premiere pro cc to v8.2 Everything Worked fine before I updated. Now I can't get any video to play back. I can hear the audio in my timeline but the video does not show up. When I export though everything is fine and the video is there. So basically I cant get any video to play in my program monitor or my source monitor.

Please double-check that the same sequence that's open in the current Timeline is also loaded in Program Monitor. We recently discovered a bug that resulted in the Program Monitor having a different sequence loaded than the active Timeline. The scenario in which this occurs is as follows:
Open two sequences (or more) in the same panel, say Seq_A and Seq_B.
Set focus on Seq_B.
Maximize the Project Panel.
Double-click Seq_A in the Project Panel.
At this point, the Project Panel reverts to its normal size and the Program Monitor loads Seq_A, but Seq_B remains in front of Seq_A. This disconnect persists if you set focus on the Seq_B Timeline; when Seq_B is played with things in this state, you will hear that sequence's audio, but the Program Monitor will remain static.
This is not likely to explain your situation, but it's worth ruling out before pursuing further troubleshooting.

I just figured it out. Somehow I didn't change it to the correct code of 1. So on the second shot of 5 allowed I realized I didn't change and save. Now the dvd played.

You'll need to provide a bit more information, the amplifier only passes video to a connected TV.

How do I route audio from a YouTube video to AU Lab using SoundFlower so that I can capture the YouTube video's sound stream?

How do I route audio from a YouTube video to AU Lab using SoundFlower so that I can capture the YouTube video's sound stream?

Attach camera via USB or put card in card reader.
Go to FCP, and go to the Log and TRANSFER window.
If FCP recognizes the card, you will see your clips listed on the left.
You can view them, set Ins and Outs, and import just what you want.
Once you choose a section of video and import it, FCP converts (transcodes) from its original camera format to Apple ProRes422 - a more edit friendly video file.
