Cannot play Cyber shot camcorder video files

I have a new touch-screen 'Toshiba Qosmio and am trying to find my way around it...
I have a Sony Cyber-shot camera and used to upload all my pictures and videos to my previous p.c. using Picasa, but I do not have this program on my Toshiba.
I have uploaded my latest photos and videos into My Pictures and all files are listed with their thumbnails.
However, when I attempt to play a video by double-clicking, Toshiba Video Player tells me "this video cannot be played back".
Can anyone tell me why this is and how I can access these files and play them back?
I shall be really grateful.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi
Maybe you should try another video player since not all video formats are supported by Toshiba video player.
Did you test the VLC player?
Recommend doing this.. the VLC player is a freeware tool
I would also recommend checking the camcorders user manual to get some info about the file formatthen you could search for tools which would handle the camcorders file format.

HT3775 I have a bunch of .MOD files I cannot play from our Canon video cam. I tried renaming the files as MPEG or MOV, I get the message "The document "001.MPEG" could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." Any advice on getting these to play?

Try installing Perian or VLC. Some AVIs require a codec which simply isn't available for Mac OS X.

IPhone 4S keeps playing audio from a video file that is no longer on my phone.

If I'm listening to music and try to change tracks or pause with the earbud buttons the music fades out and starts playing audio from a video file. It will only play about 3-4 seconds and then stop. This also will happen when double clicking the home button to try and change tracks. When I do that the track skipping buttons won't work and there's no title for the short bit of audio that plays. The only way to get music to start playing again is to go into music and press play again. The music I had been listening to is sitting there paused. The audio from the mystery video file still sometimes plays even when you're in music and the only way you would know is the little play icon at the top right part of the screen. I have removed every video off of my phone and it still does it. This is really frustrating.

Sounds like a bad battery. You'll need to bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.
I'm sure you've been using your phone as designed and properly backing up your data, so you should have minimal, if any data loss should the phone need to be replaced.

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?

What HTML code do I need to get Adobe Flash to play an embedded MP4 video file (8 MB)?
Thanks

Here are a couple of ways, one using the Netstream class and the other using the FLVPlayback component.
For the NetStream approach, the following in the timeline code will play/loop the intended mp4 file...
     var video:Video;
     var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
     connect_nc.connect(null);
     var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
     stream_ns.client = this;
     function netStatusHandler(p_evt:NetStatusEvent):void {
         if (p_evt.info.code == "NetStream.Play.Stop") {
             stream_ns.seek(0); // to loop the video
     stream_ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
     video = new Video();
     addChild(video);
     video.attachNetStream(stream_ns);
     stream_ns.play("path_to/your.mp4");
For the FLVPlayback component, add it to the stage, give it an instance name ("fp" used below), assign your mp4 file ("path_to/your.mp4") as the source property in the Properties panel, and select the option to autoplay as well. Place the following code in the timeline...
     fp.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, playAgain);
     function playAgain(evt:Event):void {
         fp.play();
To put the Flash swf file in an html page, in the Publish Settings set it to publish an swf and an html page. Publish the file an the html page will be created for you.

Playing a sequence of video files

Dear all,
I'm trying to use JMF to play a sequence of video files, i.e. one after the other.
The program I have written creates multiple players, one for each video file. It then realizes and prefetches them all. Then the program starts the first player and on an EndOfMedia event, plays the next and so on.
The problem that I have is that on my Swing gui, it shows the first video but none of the rest, although you can hear the audio! Below is the code that is called on an EndOfMedia event to start the next player.
    private void nextInSequence() throws EndOfSequenceException {
        // Close Previous Players
        if (current > 0)
            clipPlayers[current-1].close();
        // No more clips in sequence
        if (current >= clipPlayers.length)
            throw new EndOfSequenceException();
        myVisual = clipPlayers[current].getVisualComponent();
           if (myVisual != null) {
              visualPanel = new Panel();
               visualPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
               visualPanel.add(myVisual);
               add("Center",visualPanel);
        else {
            remove(status);
               add("Center",status);
               status.setText("No VisualComponent available.");
        validate();
        myVisual.setVisible(true);
        // start current player
        clipPlayers[current].start();
        current++;
    }I have set the LIGHTWEIGHT_RENDERER hint for the manager. The nextInSequence() method shown above is in a class extending JPanel.
Anybody any ideas?
Many thanks,
Oli Gosling

Problem transferring JVC Everio HD Camcorder Video files to ZEN 1

I can't seem to succesfully transfer video files recorded by my JVC Everio hard dri've camcorder to my ZEN. The files as originally downloaded from camcorder to PC are?.MOD format which is not visible to ZEN Explorer as a videofile and will not convert at all. I?changed the file extension to .AVI?and these are now visible and will convert and transfer, but?cannot be played by my ZEN.
Has anybody else had similar problems, or?does anybody have any suggestions?p.s. I have succesfully transfered other video files including AVI files?recorded using my Fuji stills camera.

welcome batman to the  board ...
well... the iApps iMovie and iDVD are meant to work
with firewire connected miniDV camcorders...
you lose the convenience of the iApps... anyhow:
Streamclip
(free) is the weapon of choice, in case, your
HDcorder stores as mpeg1...
for mpeg2 conversion, you need additionally the Apple
mpeg2 plugin (20$) ...
helpful?
Thanks for the quick response!
Well, I think they are in mpeg2 format, but not positive. Anyway, I did away with miniDV camcorders because they transfer much slower to the computer than the HD camcorder...but now I get this issue! lol I guess that's what I get for switching to a Mac!
Is there any other way besides the $20 plugin to convert the file? Will the plugin lose any quality in the conversion process?

Playing .exe or .dvr video files on macbook pro.

I know that .exe means executable files which are windows files, and i know that these files don't contain viruses i backed up video files from our surveillance video at a location that isn't at home. i want to view these files on mac and do a project on iMovie.

A .exe cannot be used on a Mac. You would need a PC or run Windows on your Mac. I'm not familiar with the .dvr format. It may be possible to convert them to a format playable on a Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak 2 or Vista. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
6. Last is Q. Q is a freeware emulator that is compatible with Intel Macs. It is much slower than the virtualization software, Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion.
Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. The Boot Camp Beta that was used with Tiger has expired and is no longer available for use. So contrary to the other poster's comment, Boot Camp isn't truly "free." You must purchase Leopard or Snow Leopard to get it.

Cannot play any of the video in youtube?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Cannot play iPhone 4s created videos via Airplay on Apple Tv

I have had this issue ever since upgrading to the 4s. I cannot play the videos created on my 4S on Apple TV via Airplay. The same error occurs whether I try to pull the video from the Apple TV itself, the iPhone 4S, or the iMac. Very frustrating. The phone takes beautiful video but I shouldnt have to move the video to my PC and hook it up to the TV via HDMI to watch it. Thanks for any help.

Hi RTen1,
What do you see when you double tap the home button on the iPhone 4s?
When I double tap to get the Multitasking Bar, then swipe all the way to the left, I do see the volume control and the Airplay icon. Clicking the Airplay icon lets me choose the Apple TV and set Mirroring on. Then when I play my presentation, I see it on the TV.
I don't see it if WiFi is off. Also make sure the Apple TV is on the same network.

IPhone and iPad cannot play back some shared videos.

I have a 3rd gen. iPad, an iPhone 4S, and a 17 inch MacBook Pro, all with the latest OS and software. I have library sharing turned on on the MacBook, and an extensive video library of TV shows purchased on iTunes. Some of the episodes, usually from the same season, will not play back on the iPad, and cannot be listed on the iPhone. All of the files are located in sub folders under the same "iTunes Library" folder. They all have the same .m4v file extension. I cannot see a pattern that might help me figure this out, so I am asking for help.

Exported movie cannot play on iPod with video

I exported my slide show to 320x240 .mov file (containing a fairplay AAC track from iTunes). I then dragged it into iTunes and it loads successfully onto my iPod with video. The movie shows up in iPod's menu but when I go to play it, I get a black screen for about 10 sec. (length of movie= 5min38sec) and movie ends.
This file plays fine in iTunes6.0.1 and QT7.0.3. I try to export the movie from QT to iPod format but Export is disabled with that movie probably due to fairplay limitations.

Hi anthony,
You will probably get better answers in the iPod Video discussions, but here are two Apple links to help you out.
