Can't open my video files on PC computers

Hi, may be it was already discussed here but I couldn't find a topic.
I made a page in iWeb that includes a few video files (saved as .mov and .wmv). When I open this published web page on my Mac - everything seems to be fine, but PC (Windows) users can't run these videos on their computers.
Does anybody know what encoding should be to solve this problem?
thank you,
Vlad

Thank you,
All PC computers that can't see video files have
QuickTime 7 installed.
I tried to save video in flash format too but it
made
my files bigger and quality worse besides I can't
control video on the web page because it starts
over
and over again. I can't stop or pause.
May be I should try to change code on every page
like
they recommend here:
http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media
/streaming/
but it'll be painful...
Vlad
Vlad Here is a SUPER SIMPLE solution for your dilema
You need to make a non-movie page, any will do. Start
your movie and take a photo of it with shift-apple-4.
This will give you an image of the movie and also the
Windows Media Player frame. Place this image on your
page, give it a title etc and make sure the image is
selected. Using the inspector, chose Link to File.
When you do this, navigate to the wmv file that
corresponds. When you upload your site, that file
will be stored along with it and when the link is hit
the wmv movie will launch in the windows media player
automatically for your PC friends.
Hope that helps
PS to last post if you have a program like "cleaner" your encoding should be
Windows Media >NTSC> 256K Streaming> 320X240> 30 fps that should result in about 1 Megabyte per minute of video with an "ok" quality if you want a better quality move up to "small" or medium" download will result in bigger files but better quality play with it till you are happy with the result.

Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

Can I open PSD Video files in premiere elements 12?

I have Photoshop CS6 and would like to purchase a video editing software. My question is if I purchase Premiere Elements 12, will I be able to open PSD video files from photoshop in the Premiere Elements?

Ps CS 6 (and the Extended version back to CS 4) can edit Video (limited Import capabilities, and limited Export capabilities). However, Ps will NOT Export any Video as a PSD. The PSD format is the Ps native Image format, and is output via Save.
My *assumption* was that the PSD was a Still Image, that was perhaps going to be animated in Video via Keyframing the Fixed Effects, such as Motion>Position, over time, as there is no PSD Video. Perhaps my assumption was incorrect, as to what the OP has, and wishes.
In Ps CS 6, Video output will be to a standard Video format/CODEC, but the list of available formats/CODEC's is very limited, compared to Premiere.
Maybe I am just misunderstanding what the OP is looking to do?

Can't open any video files anymore

Had no issues and then suddenly any video file that I bring in won't show up but instead I get a grey box with a red and green arrow. If I double click I get a box to find the file again but even if I point to the file again it dosn't show up. If I try to drag and drop on the timeline i get a message that it can't find the file even though the file exists and will open in Windows, Quicktime, etc.

A previous poster with a Toshiba posted how he installed a generic driver. If I recall it was
Uninstall the graphics driver.
Remove the display driver from Device Manager.
Reboot declining prompts to install a driver.
Run the generic installer program.
I'll see if I can find the original post, I had it in my clipboard manager but that has the unfortunate habit of killing off its database every few months

Can't open a video file after Final cut export

Very strange issue which getting me nuts.
I've FCP 7 on Lion.
I'm finishing a project and export it as it is on an external hard drive for back up.
I've got a .MOV file.
After that I'm making an other folder and export all the working file from FCP.
End of the story.
Later I want to open the Quic time video file... and then I've got an error message telling me that QT is looking for data of the video file "xyz-FIN-0000000e"
There is only a STOP button.
If I press it I've got a new error message telling me :
The file "xyz-FIN-0000000e" can't be found. Without it the video can't be play correctly"
(I'm translating the message from my french system)
So I can find sometimes the files is asking from the other folder (the FCP back up files) and then it open it...).
But WHY does the video file needs reference files ?
It was an export and I ask the exporter to make a self movie...
Realy I don't understand what's wrong.
Any cue ?
Thanks !
Jean do

Is this a Final Cut Pro .mov file. If it is it would open with FCP. Are you sure you saved with "self contained" checked. I seem to remember someone with a problem like this.
I think in the future you need to open your exported self contained FCP.mov files with quicktime Player and change the "open with" to quicktime player.

Can't open my video files from my camera/SD card with sound into premiere pro or any software. HELP!

I am on an OS X 10.7.5 and whenever I pug in either my Panasonic HC-V720 or the SD card I can't seem to find the private video file, I get folders like the picture bellow instead.
I have tried in a different computer running a newer version of OS X and the private file appears instead. I can't seem to get my videos up on premiere pro CS6 with the sound I only get the image/video by importing the .mts files.
Does anyone know what to do?

YYou should be asking these questions on the Adobe forums.

Can't open .mov video file

I have a .mov file make with final cut on a mac with the Mjpeg A compressor , I try to open the file with my quicktime 7.4.1 on my PC , the error 2048 appears: "is not a valid file format " . I try with VLC , and give me another bad message " MP4 plug in discarded (No Noov box) ". I open the advanced tab on my quicktime and check that the "legacy codecs " is available , then y try to rename the file putting the .mov extension manually , bad results too . The most strange thing is that when I open the file on a mac system it works perfectly.

My MacBook Pro gets really hot when I open a video file of any kind and the video starts lagging and the image fades away, also with anything that starts the fan. Is extremely hot on the left upper corner. Is there something I can do about it?

HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard). However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore. HELP!!

HELP!! i have a ton of videos of my boys stored in iPhoto..They played fine on my old OSX system (leopard). However, I just upgraded to snow leopard and then to mountain lion and now i can't open my videos at all anymore. HELP!!

Can you tell us about one or more of the video files - what are they? QuickTime? MP4? Something else? How did you create the video files in the first place?
I do a lot of video and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard I discovered that many of the QT videos that I had created previously (via iMovie & Final Cut) would not play correctly in QuickTime X - the bizarre behavior was that QT X acted as if my video files were only audio files! I reported this to Apple at the time but never heard anything back, and there hasn't been any change in later updates to QT X.
The solution was to (re)install QuickTime 7. But first look in your Applications > Utilities folder. When you upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, the installer normally moves the old QT 7 program to your Utilities folder. If it's there, try using QT 7 to play one of your video files. If QT 7 is not there, you can download and install it from here Make sure you are running at least OS X 10.6.3 before you install QT 7. It's even better if you make sure you are running 10.6.8 which was the last release of Snow Leopard.

Can't open any *.exe files

When I try to open .exe files I get an error message that says "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Options control panel." I've gone to control panel > tools > folder options > file types and tried to set "exe" to "application," but that doesn't seem to work. Funny enough, I am able to open other types of programs like pictures, videos and PDF files, and if I open an html file directly I can open Firefox, but I can't open firefox.exe directly. I would like to run an antivirus or malware-check program but, of course, I can't open any .exe files.
I am running Windows XP SP3 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61.

How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad?

How can I delete hidden video files from the iPad? These files were created on my MBA and when I changed the media type to iTunesU and then copied it to my iPad via iTunes, they did not appear. I can see them using 3rd party software, but they don't have delete functionality.
Thanks
York

Interesting note: I can see the files when I use the search function, but when I tap either file, I return to my home screen. The video does not open. I can transfer the file to my MBA, and it plays fine, but I cannot figure out a way to delete them.
