Can't Play VCD *.DAT files in QT 6.5.3

I can't play vcd *.dat files in QT 6.5.3 (OSX 10.2.8) But i can play them using QT 6.0.2 in OS9.2.2 What do i need to do to play them in OSX using QT 6.5.3? Thx for the help...Dave

Yes, tried that.... QuickTime/open movie/go to vcd/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/choose....I then get error message 'Couldn't open file AVSEQ01.DAT because there was an input/output error' So then i tried oening from the desktop.
Is this a commercial VCD or a Toast burn? Asking because I know mine was made by Toast back in OS 9 when the MPEG-1 extension was included with Toast. If so, am wondering if you have an OS X compatible version of Toast installed. I have the latest version of Toast installed and was thinking it might include some component that is allowing me to open the AVSEQ01.DAT file without error. (I get the error when I attempt to open via the OS 9 VCD script in the CDI folder since I no longer have access to "Classic" mode.)
VCD/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/double click...I then get error message...'Chinese Input Method Plug-in Converter' Open file error.
Chinese Input Method Plug-In Converter appears to convert input text to Chinese "graphic equivalents" contained in .DAT extension files. (Plug-in probably works as some sort of a text-to-graphic buffer.) It may simply be selecting this as an "application/utility of opportunity" here and generates an error when it reaches the end of the "look-up table" without finding a valid match.
In any case, I take it your VCD does not contain a QT reference movie (.MOV) that points to the AVSEQ01.DAT file as the movie resource.

Can't find my data file to back up, so I can uninstall and reinstall the software. (Windows, Vista & Palm version 6.0.1)

I can't find my data file, in order to back it up. After going to Documents - Palm One, the only thing that looks like a user name is a file with no data. Somewhere there has to be another file with all my data, since data is available when I open the Palm One software on my computer. After backing it up, I want to uninstall and reinstall the Palm One software. I'm hoping this resolves my inabilty hot sync. Thanks! Lauraflavin.

How can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Element

how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements? It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

LGSh
Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
More later.
Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
Thank you.

Can I cut/paste data files?

Can I cut/paste data files?

Yes you can. You can email a PDF file. You can use iOS file sharing to transfer PDF files. There are PDF apps in the App Store that you can save the files into. iBooks works with PDF files, but it pales in comparison to most of the other PDF apps.
Adobe Reader has a very nice PDF app. Save2 PDF, PDF Forms, PDF Master and many other PDF apps are a available. One app that is highly recommended for PDF file is called GoodReader. You can check all of these apps out in the App Store.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

HT204406 iTunes Match - can't play because original file can't be found

Hi, I've uploaded 600+ tracks to iTunes Match and since deleted the original files from my computer - when I go to play them 'via the cloud' only a handful of songs will play, the rest say 'can't play because original file can't be found!
I assumed the purpose of iTunes Match was to create a copy of all your tracks so you could access them from anywhere.
Hoping someone can help/offer advice?
Cheers, Lee.

This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool have moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you might be able to reconnect iTunes to them using my FindTracks script.

How can i convert a data file to mp3 so it can be played ?

HOW CAN I CONVERT DATA FILE TO MP3

You cant change a file on a CD/DVD.
You need to import the contents to iTunes. You can choose the file format to save it as in iTunes Preferences.
From the menu bar (with iTunes open)
iTunes > Preferences > General - click the Import Settings button and change the choice to mp3 encoder.
(Note - that instruction is for iTunes 9.1.1 - if it's changed in 10.x, I trust Klaus or one of the others will correct me).
When you've set the import encoding, put your CD in and select import (button at bottom right in 9.1, may be in the menu bar for 10.x).

Hi
Recently in my project I came across a scenario where my Web Dynpro Project had to pick the image from KM. The images to be displayed will be placed in KM. This will avoid loading the images into the Web DynPro project. More over when you have KM installed on your EP server, one can use it for storing backend data and resources. The KM Admin will be undertaking this task of uploading the images to predefined folder structures. Through the application path to the image will be provided dynamically giving you the flexibility to decide which image to be displayed according to the business logic.

Frustrated beyond belief; can't play an MP3 file

I know this can POSSIBLY be that hard, but I'm a total noob
and the documentation is bewhildering at best.
I have an ASP page that pulls data, and one field is the name
of an MP3 file greeting.
All I want to do is use the MediaPlayback component to play
that file. That's all. No jukebox, no wild video, just play the one
single file that I've specified.
I put the MediaPlayback component on the page, and gave it
the name
player. In the Component Inspector I selected MP3,
Automatically Play, and left the URL blank. (If I "hardcode" the
MP3 filename in there it will play that single file, but I can't
get it to play any other files). Saved the FLA with the name Player
and then I publish the SWF into the same dir with all the MP3
files.
I tried using this code to play a file called Allen.mp3, and
no matter what I do I cannot get it to play. I've tried Param URL,
contentPath, all sorts of combinations thereof....
<object

/>
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this seemingly
simple task completed? Using the FLVPlayback component getting it
to play videos was a piece of cake ... I don't know why I can't get
this to work.

Are your stereos capable of playing .mp3 files.
Not all CD players are equal.
as noted you can burn the message as an AIFF file then it would play in any CD player.
MJ

How can I play an audio file without the whole screen going black?

When I play the mp3 file on IE it opens in a small screen so I can still see the web page.
On Firefox the whole screen is taken up with the sound file being played.
Can this be changed?

Is that file played in a tab in the current window or in a separate pop-up window?
Are you allowing pop-up to modify the window size (dom.disable_window_move_resize = false)?

You can try set the Boolean pref media.windows-media-foundation.enabled to false on the about:config page to disable the built-in HTML5 media player.

How can i copy my data files from a windows backup to mac mini

I recently purchased a mac mini and waiting on its arrival. I am converting from WinXP and my current system is not working at the moment (started smelling smoke one day and the video hasn't displayed since from the PC - so its been shut down). I can easily fix whatever the issue is with the PC - however - my question is. I perform periodic backup of my data files to an external drive with Windows Backup, can I restore my files from the Windows Backup to the Mac Mini? If I don't have to fix the PC - I can save that cost and buy an CD drive for the Mini (or something else).
I haven't investigated the real problem on the PC - I just know its hardware related (not OS).
My last backup was atleast 1 month ago - so I know I might lose a couple of things....but not very much. If its "simplier" for the migration process to fix the PC - then that is the answer but if I can extract from the external 1TB Seagate. I think I only have 50GB of data (itunes / pictures / etc)
Thanks

Can't find addressbook data file in my time machine, to restore it to my lion new installed OS

like everbody i updated my Snowleapord to lion, i felt my system is quiet slow so i did a clean installation and copied everything from my time machine backup manually, now i want to restore my contacts in addressbook, problem is when i dig into my timemachine i dont see any place where i can find my addressbook data, i really want that back, my time machine isnt associated with my new OS lion i can access all the files via finder but i cant use space like interface, is anyone knows how i can find my addressbook data in time machine and copy it to the path where lion keeps address book data.

Listen guyz i think you took me wrong i have resolved the problem and it will work for you as well, first you have to unhide the user/library folder in lion for that read this:
http://technocraz.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/updated-to-lion-must-be-missing-user- library-here-is-how-to-get-it-back/
after having the folder visible open you time machine in finder and copy the address book from User/Library/Application Support/AddressBook and paste the same in your User/Library/Application Support/AddressBook.
you will see all your contacts immediatly, worked for me and im sure it will work for everyone.
