Cant play some files

The files are .mpg files and i try to open them with quicktime and it says error quicktime can not open this file. and i tried to open it with VLC and then it says "main: no suitable decoder module for fourcc `WMV3'.
VLC probably does not support this sound or video format." is there anything i can download to play this files or is there a different video player that i need???? any help would be great thanks

Sounds like either the file extension is wrong or the reference to the WMV3 codec is in error. If it really is a WMV3 (Windows Media Player v9), then neither VLC nor QT will play it natively but you might be able to play it in a v9 compatible Windows Media Player. Might have to change the file extension though to AVI, ASF, or WMV. Not really a windows person myself.

    What error messages are you getting? The videos are likely created with Flash, or another plug-in, which can't be played on the iPad.

  • XBMC fails playing some files after recent update

    Hi,
      I am unsure as of what happened but after a recent update, XBMC fails playing some files.  I can't see much in the logs; no error except a segfault in XBMC reported by .xsession-error.  I am using the integrated Intel video card (Ivy Bridge) of an i3.
      Searching a bit revealed that issues have been found with VAAPI but this was a while back.  libva-intel 1.3.2-1 hasn't been reported as erroneous so far...
    Can anyone confirm this so I can be sure it is not my system that is in fault?
    Thanks,
    Tach

    Thanks, Andy. That seemed to do the trick. Not sure how to edit this project, though. Not sure how I split the clips on one drive, and the final output on another. Ideas on how to join them up? I hesitate to move anything around since FCPX seems so sensitive to any moved files.
    Cheers & thanks,
    Marissa

  • Cant Play Some Songs in My iMac Downloaded From the Cloud

    Hello,
    Can anyone give a tip to solve this out?
    I've signed up for iMatch in order to sync all my songs with the other computers at home plus my iPhone.
    I was surprised that many songs are displayed in gray and they just dont play.
    I ma not sure if they were purchased from iTunes or belonged to my original library downloaded from other sources.
    iTunes show a message about authorize the machine, but when I try to do it, the sistem says it is already authorized.
    What can I do?
    Tnx.,

    Michael,
    Thanks for answering.
    I had a lot of songs on my old iMac. Some bought at iTunes, many others imported from CDs and also a couple of old files I cant even remember their origins.
    I activated iMatch and aparently it worked perfectly upgrading the files. After that, I enabled iMatch in my new iMac. Again it seemed to work, but when I began to play, some of the songs showed up with a gray cloud symbol instead of the usual black one. So, these songes dont play.
    Ill try to run it again from the iMac. Maybe the connection have failled on the way...
    Thanks again.

  • I cant play some music of my iphone

    When I want play music, there is some songs that I cant play. It show a red symbol and grey letters.

    I have had this problem and I hope this works (it did for me and I also had an iPhone 4S - 7.1.2)
    1) Plug your iPhone in to iTunes.
    2) If it automatically starts syncing click the 'X' to cancel the sync as quickly as you can.
    3) Once the Sync has cancelled, navigate to:
    'File' > 'Devices' > 'Transfer purchases from "_______ iPhone"
    4) Wait for Purchases to transfer.
    5) Update Apps on iTunes.
    6) Wait for that to finish.
    7) Try and Sync again.
    8) This time it should work.
    ----CONTINUE READING IF THIS DOESN'T WORK----
    9) Click 'Restore iPhone'
    10) Let iPhone restore (could take 20 minutes)
    11) Set up as a 'New iPhone' and sync your music.
    ----OTHER THINGS TO CHECK BEFORE YOU RESTORE----
    1) Is your iPhone running the latest software version?
    2) Is your iTunes running the latest software version?
    3) Are your songs in an unsupported File format?
    4) Are your songs corrupted?
    5) Have you transferred purchases and updated all apps on iTunes?
    -----OTHER THINGS YOU COULD DO-----
    1) Re-install iTunes (could work - probably won't but you can give it a try)
    2) Delete all music off phone (again probably won't work but you could give it a try)
    3) Re-start your phone by holding the 'Home/Touch ID' button and the lock button at the same time and hold until the Apple logo appears.
    ----NOTES-----
    Since updating to iOS 8 and iTunes 12 I haven't had this problem.  You might want to update to iOS 8.1 and iTunes 12 - this could solve the problem too.
         Thanks

  • Cant play downloaded files

    Hi everybody,
    I recently conected to internet and of course started download. tha problem is that I can't get any of movie files to be played. It's just shows message "it is file that Quicktime doesn't understand (-2048)" But music files it play just if it is in mp3, but as I'would like to save some space I'm trying to save and play as wma files, but nothing helps.
    I'm using DC++ downloading web site, and I have DIVX player and converter. But it can't convert those files to any readable file.
    Please advise me something.
    p.s Which type of files I can download without fear that I'ts woun't play.
    Thanks!!!
    IMAC, INTEL CORE, 20 Inch   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi Armondo
    I don't understand the part about the mp3/wma files, but to play movie files that Quicktime doesn't decode, try one of the following:
    VLC
    MPlayer OS X
    Good luck...

  • Cant play .avi files in Lumia

    Hi, iam using Lumia 520 and i can't play .avi files on my Lumia.... I read that .avi format is supported in 520,but iam unable ... So kindly please help me....

    Hi aadhi07,
    Welcome to the Nokia Support Discussions!
    Where did you get the .avi files and what's the error message when trying to play it? Does this happen to all .avi files or in some .avi files only?
    Upon checking, the Lumia 520 supports .avi, however it can only play a maximum of 720p.
    Cheers!

  • Cant play audio files

    I am connecting to the Internet via a highly filtered ISP at a fundamentalist school.
    Below are some files that DO NOT play via FireFox (latest version) on the network here on my ibook.

    http://www.cerm.info/audiofiles/randyclark.mp3
    etc...
    While I cannot play the above audio files at school (the files only play for a few seconds and then cut out) I CAN play them on the same ibook OFF CAMPUS at the local library.
    Below are some files that DO PLAY on the NETWORK AT THE SCHOOL in FIREFOX.

    Why is it that some audio files play just fine on my Ibook in FireFox and others do not?
    And why can I play all the audio files in Safari?

  • Cant play local files on mobile

    Posting again and hoping for a response before I have to cancel Premium because of it. Hello, I have a Droid Razr M, and I can't play my local files on my Android phone. I have premium, and when I download a playlist/songs to my phone, they come up as (Song Name) Unknown Artist, Unknown Album, and completely grey instead of white with the Dowload Icon next to them. My Phone and my Desktop Spotify are sync'd and I switch between them often. 
    I used to have success transferring files when working off my Macbook Air to my phone, but no such luck with my HP desktop. I do not have the Macbook anymore so it isn't a solution to this problem.  I have connected my phone to my PC yet it does nothing within the Spotify window. When I'm playing a local file on the PC and I try to switch to mobile using connect, it just black screens and I have to back arrow out of that to get back to my playlist, where it resumes fine playing no song. This was not a problem a couple patches ago, yet it may make me unsubscribe because it is my most essential value to my Spotify experience.  I will provide more information to solve the problem, if necessary

    Yeh it won't sync local files under the latest version of Android. 
    It's not that it doesnt actually sync it, but on the phone on android. There is no option for local files. 
    It doesn't come up. Tho it is on the computer Spotify app. 
    The only way to do it, is to make a playlist. Drag everything from local files into the playlist. Then sync. 
    You can even click offline mode for what its worth. Obviously its already on the computer as its local files. 
    It seems files that are not on Spotify are faded out. It is very inconsistent about it. But none the less you can play everything. 
    Once you have it all on your new shiny playlist. Sync it to the phone. And just sync that playlist which just has local files. 
    There is no way to work out the bitrate of the files on the spotify app for Andoid, so I can see the kbps. So I know if it is a local version or what the sound quality is either. Anyway you can sync local files only through making a playlist. 
    The problem lies in the Spotify app. It has the option to click sync local files. And it actually does it, but this is useless as there is no way to search or play these files unless they are in a playlist on the latest Android App. And because it isn't in a playlist you cannot play it. 
    So yeh Make playlist. Copy Local Files into Playlist. Sync Android Phone with that Playlist. You can now play local files. 

  • I cant play some avi movies  i need codec

    i cant playe my avi movie because i need codec for my quick timer what codec do i need or maybe ther are missing

    Quicktime 7 can play AVIs, but Quicktime X cannot. You could download Quicktime 7, get VLC, or convert your AVI to a Quicktime-supported format like m4a using http://www.macroplant.com/adapter/

  • Still Cant Play MP4 Files

    Hi
    The first time I downloaded QT 7.4 , I couldnt play MP4 files in QT and FR. I then had to reinstalled QT 7.3 with Pacifist and it was all okay. Today I downloaded Version 7.4.5 (25) and the same problem cropped up! I thought Apple would have fixed it by now! Anyone else facing the problem? Before installing I had run permissions. I am on the latets verion of Tiger

    What's the nature of the files that can't play? Do you hear the audio but can't see the video? Were they converted from .flv using TubeSock or iSqunt? If so, when you download the latest iSquint, it comes with the Debreaker app that fixes those files.
    There are other solutions like using Pacifist again or using an old version of a component, but both of those mean that, with every update you'll be doing it again. If your files are of the specific type listed above, that fix has worked through the last few updates with no problems.

  • 6300..cant play music files through music player.

    I just got the 6300.
    I transferred some music files onto my phone, but i cant seem to play them through "music player".
    When i try to search for the songs.. through show "all tracks", they dont appear.
    But if i go to my memory card, and play the songs out of there, then it plays, not sure which program it uses to play.
    Can anyone help me out?
    Thanks
    ameet

    You need to update the library. In music player:
    options .. music library .. options .. update music library
    This scans phone and card memory for new tracks. When you see how long this takes, you'll understand why it isn't done automatically each time you start the music player
