Cannot Play MP4 Files on Front Row and Quicktime

Hi guys,
I cannot play any MP4 files on QT or FR. They play fine on VLC which is strange as I never had a problem before. I have the latest version of QT and didnt repair permissions on upgrade!

How to play mp4 files on ipad2

I imported photos and videos from Sony digital camera to ipad2, I opened the photos but couldn't open the video, it's mp4 files, how can I open and watch on ipad2?

The only way to get content into the Music app is via iTunes store downloads or syncing with itunes on a computer. You will need to find a third party media player such as VLC (whick integrates with DropBox and GoogleDrive, if that appeals to you).

Windows Media Player cannot play the file after ame encode with out audio?

strange behavior using media encoder today
ive selected no audio when encoding an h264 for the android...every time (5x) I tried to encode I got "Windows Media Player cannot play the file" when I selected audio the error went away..
the other issue I had was the work area only , my encodes were including the whole sequence an not the "work area only" when selected?
buggy day ..love to edit ..

The export without audio is an .m4v file, which many plays have trouble with. For now, use the audio, which creates a playable .mp4 file.

I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

Btw, the other 2 n73 phones that you used to play the video must have a new firmware, yours is too old!!
You mean the latest FW lets N73 to play DIVX video files without installing any 3rd party software like smartmovie?

Cannot play MP3 files in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi
Apogogies if this has been asked before.
I have an embedded MP3 file on one of my DWCS4 pages but when I try to play it from the Properties Inspector I get the message "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type".
The sound file plays OK in Firefox and IE but I would like to be able to test it in DW. I have the currrent version of Apple QuickTime Pro installed.
I am using both Windows XP and Vista with the same problem.
Is there a plug I can download for DW only in order to play these files without resorting to converting the MP3 to another format.
Any help would be much appreicated.
Thanks
George

Yes but I did exactly what I accused you of doing so it was really bad!
Software troubles can drive you a bit crazy. Sorry again.

Hi
Thank you for the apology, but as we have all (probably), misread and

Playing mp4 files on iPad

Hi All, this a desperate cry for help before I finally junk my new iPad: I am currently enrolled in an online program running on the Adobe Connect platform. The multimedia files (mp4, pdf etc) can not play on the iPad despite several attempts. Any explanation to this and suggestion on what to do?

You need an app to play those files....I am pretty sure. I play mp4 videos just fine on the app Goodplayer...the older version! The currently available Goodplayer app may not play mp4 files, since they had a dispute (exhorbitant fees) with Dolby, who banned their software use on Goodplayer and several other apps. I understand that there is an app available at the app store that has Dolby software, in that they collaborate with Dolby in some way. Be sure to check capabilities and limitations before you buy any such app. I don't know about pdf files.

Nokia n85 not playing MP4 files

Hi,
I never used the video podcasts, well I just tried to use some nokia video podcasts and they were in MP4 format. To my surprise my phone says it can not play the format and so it just played it as the audio file. I was reading at GSMArena.com and looks like N85 does support MP4 files.
Can any one help me on this? How can I play MP4 files on my phone?
Thanks,
Harpreet

Software ver: 30.019

Well, podcasts are mainly encoded in AVC@640x360 or 480x320. N85 plays AVC only at 320x240 resolution or lower. It has nothing to do with the container, in this case .mp4.

Front Row won't play .mp4 files

I just recently started using Front Row and, for some reason, it won't play .mp4 files. The said files are in my Movie folder and show up in Front Row's "Movies" menu, but when I try to play them it says "Selected video could not be played, format was not recognized."
Please help!!

iTunes only supports MP4s encoded using the Main Profile, but many MP4s that you can download from the web are encoded using High Profile. These need to be converted.
You can use an app like VideoSpec or MediaInfo to list the encoding characteristics of your MP4s.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file

Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file
How do I fix this?

That would probably be a question best taken up in on a site for Windows support questions. Not knowing anything about the movie you're trying to play, all I can suggest is to confirm that the format of the movie you wish to play is supported in your version of WMP. If it isn't, you'll either need to convert the movie or use some other player software.

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer

I can not find solution to the issue "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer" while attempting to play the file with *.wmv extension. Some computer fail in spite of said missing codec
being present according the windrows media player in Windows 7 box

If Rashid's link does not resolve it... consider the below:
A) As of this writing, the codec for GoToMeeting webinar recordings ("G2M4" codec) was only mentioned in *one* web page, of about 10 Microsoft web pages I read, to resolve this problem (and that codec is not included, yet, in their diagnostic tool),
so if you're trying to play a GoToMeeting webinar, simply get the codec for it from their site: http://www.GoToMeeting.com/codec
B) If Windows Media Player (WMP) will not even open the file, you won't be able to get the 4-character codec's name (like "G2M4") from WMP. But VLC's media player will tell you that code, even when it fails to run the video.... and then you can
search the internet for it.
C) The problem sometimes is not actually a missing codec. Other things that have helped others, some from:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/the-windows-media-player-12-could-not-play-the-wma/bb823460-44df-4e8d-ba2c-42ec0e111e5a?page=3
(1) running the System File Checker (SFC.exe),
(2) opening WMP first (running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) then opening the file from inside them,
(3) confirming that WMP was the file association for WMV files,
(4) Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, selecting my audio device, and looking for a "5.1" setting (I didn't have one), to change to "stereo",
(5) checking Tools\Options\Devices\Speakers\Properties\Speaker Properties\AdvancedPlayback\ Speakers /HP\Properties\Advanced\Default Format, to select "CD or DVD Quality" (if that setting appears for your device),
Good luck,

Cannot play m4a files

I installed gnome music (had installed it already but reinstalled my system) and now it cannot play m4a files. I dont know why before i reinstalled arch it had played them?
Does anyone know a package i have to install, i cannot remeber if i did so.

I'm sure you've found a solution by now, and I'm not sure if this will help?! Have you tried (with TAG editor) to change the the format from "UNKNOWN" to "Audio MPEG-4 AAC LC" ?

I cannot play .mov files (from iPhone) in Premiere Elements 10. Is there a solution?
It used to work fine. I wonder if the problem has something to do with the recent iPhone update. Is there any Premiere update I can download?

Well, if it used to work... and then you updated your iphone and now it does not work... that seems to ME like the iphone update changed something in the files
But, exactly what is inside your mov files?
