Can't Play Video Files in Lightroom 4

I can import video files (.mov) into Lightroom 4 but I can't play them. I can play them in Photoshop CS6 Beta. The Control Bar with the "Play" icon doesn't show and the space bar does nothing.

I've tried to restore all the settings, but it didn't work. Does anybody have any other solutions for this problem?

HT4072 can't play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) with 5.1 audio tracks

I have two Macs, one with a mini-optical out and no audio through its mini-displayport, and the other that supports digital audio out through its mini-displayport. On either of my Macs, how can I play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) in 5.1 using Quicktime or iTunes or VLC? I've heard I need Perian. Is this true? If so, how do I configure it on either machine?
Note that when I connect the computer that supports audio through the mini-displayport to my receiver, my home theater receiver detects a PCM audio connection, but the audio I get out of my speakers is still stereo.
Both computers are running Snow Leopard. I haven't had the need to upgrade to Lion yet, but if the answer is that I need Lion do do this, I'd spend the $29.
Thanks for the help!

This just happened for the first time with an .mkv file I was trying to play. It started fine but then after selecting a menu option in smplayer the video disappeared. It didn't go black, the player just stopped presenting the video. In other words the player switched to audio playback mode only, the window was unable to go into fullscreen or be resized. Smplayer still works with other HD files. Deleting the config directory fixes the problem until I select a menu option, such as, setting the audio to 5.1, then the video portion disappears again.
Does anyone know what is going on here or have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Thanks for any help provided.
that's because now mplayer they switch to libavformat demuxer for mkv and ogg and i think is a bug in smplayer because is making some configuration for files in file_settings in which is sets demuxer & co. this switch is confusing smplayer and it should be reported upstream
p.s if you actually select demuxer from smplayer to mkv it would work perfectly

I can't play video files...PLEASE HELP!!!

I was changing the settings, for what..I don't know. But now I can't play any video files. I can store them and download them and play them back on my computer, but I can't access them on my BB.
Will someone please let me know what the original factory settings are for where to store video files?
I'm assuming that I am storing them in the wrong place, so now I can't access them.
I have turned off MTP and MSMS and this does not help either way.
I need to know what is the original file to store video files.

Hi Attila74,
What kind of video? Format? Codec needed? ... without that info is quite difficult to help you but I would bet you would need some additional codecs or simply try it with VLC.

Can't play video files - max CPU

I have an out-of the box MacBook with leopard - and I simply had to use Force quit about a thousand times.
The problem:
When I try to...
- import (iPhoto)
- play (Quicktime)
- Preview
- open a folder in which there is...
... a video file shot with my Samsung Digimax A5 camera, the application (finder, quicktime player or iphoto) just maximizes the cpu usage, and hangs. And I have to close it by force quit.
However, the files are not corrupted, VLC Player plays them without problem, and also provides the following codec information:
FLUX0 (video)
Codec: MJPG
Res.: 640x480
30 fps
FLUX1 (audio)
Codec: MLAW
Channels: 1
Freq: 8000hz
Bits per sample: 8
64kbit/s
(maybe I translated some properties wrong, I use french Os X)
Since nearly every action (spotlight search, opening iphoto, trying to import files to the iphoto library, etc.) encounters with a file like this, and hangs the application, this really makes my life ****.
Any suggestions?

No sound on Sony video files in Lightroom 4

Hello. I can see my mts video files in Lightroom 4, but however they do not have sound. Is there anything that I could do to have the sound? (The sound is working for videos that I made with my Nikon 3100 camera, but not for the videos that I made with my Sony camera.) Also, is there a way to light the video files from Lightroom 4 to Adobe Premiere, as Adobe Premiere seems to have more editing capabilities and plays the sound from my Sony videos?

So, my understanding is that Lightroom does not support the codec used by Sony. Is there any plan in supporting it in the future?
Thanks,Nancy

Simple thing to try would be to disable composite and see how you fare then
Check the logs first, though

Why do I only get the audio when I play video files?

I only receive the audio portions when I play video files. The video is blank/black. This is happening with mpg., avchd and the videos posted to websites; YouTube, Facebook etc. The only video files I can play are windows media files. Windows media PLAYER won't play the other video files? I have the latest updates for my video card and adobe flash player. Thanks for any info! Elwood Windows 7 64 bit, i7 980x @333 6 core processor, 12 GB ram DDR 1600, Radeon 5850 GPU, OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SSD

It is most likely that the various files contain CODEC's, that are either not installed on your computer, or PrE is not able to use them.
You list several file types, and I would urge you to first see this FAQ Entry, then get one of the file info utilities, linked in it, G-Spot, MediaInfo, or MediaInspector, then post the details on the various CODEC's: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0
Also, that WMP cannot play the video indicates the likelihood of a CODEC issue.
Try either of the great, free media players, VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC. Both contain many useful CODEC's, but they do NOT install them into the OS.
Good luck, and with the CODEC info, someone can give your recommendations.

My quicktime can't play avi file

HI everyone does someone know why my latest quicktime can't play avi file?

Let me tell you what are you doing wrong...
you just followed the wrong road try this one instead and you will love it.
*1st of all*: Dont pay attention to QuickTime, no matter what movie you want to view
just download and install VLC Media Player and your worries about formats, video codecs, audio codecs, multi zone dvd reproduction will be over in a sec!
just "open as" > VLC Media Player and you will see everything and if you have a subtitle file, just drag it into the movie

Encore wont play video files

I recently upgraded encore from ver.2 to cs3 and find that ver.cs3 wont play video files.
It wont play the file in the project window, it just stops at the first frame. If I move the slider below the viewer the video material is updated but it wont play.
In the monitor view it wont play either, I can view the material by manually moving the cursor.
It wont play a preview either, it just stops.
It builds a DVD without problems and the dvd plays fine without errors but the program wont play any video files.
Ver.2 plays all the same video files without problems.
Please help!

Whew!
Glad that you got it fixed, and thanks for posting what worked for you.
Good luck with the interview,
Hunt

How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

How to play video files that are in Drop box on iPod?

I am going to have to write a technote about this, because it comes up a lot.
Flash Player itself is designed to play SWF content as a browser plugin or as an ActiveX control (when it's IE Windows).
There is a standalone Flash Player, but that's something Adobe provides directly as a feature of Flash CS4 Professional. It gets installed with Flash. We have made some standalone players available on http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html, but not all (and I don't know why. Looking into it)
There are numerous 3rd party standalone SWF players out there though. Some designed to just play video, others that play full SWF. I suggest a google search of 'play SWF standalone' and read the results.
On the Mac, consumers who want to play SWF content off their desktop can use the Adobe Media Player. You can import a local SWF (and FLV and other video) and play it in AMP. Get it here:
http://www.adobe.com/products/mediaplayer/
That's Mac only, doesn't work on Windows.

Can't play videos after I move them to the micro sd memory card

I moved my videos bought on video unlimited to the micr sd card to save space using the file transfer app that came with the tablet and now they won't play. I just get the message " can't play video". If I move back onto internal memory they won't play - I suppose because not in the original location but can't see how to fix this. I want to store and play from the sd card. What am I doing wrong please!

I would advise contacting Video Unlimited support for your region regarding this as it sounds like an issue with the DRM on the files: http://en.support.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/app/help/VU/p1
