Changing preferred media player in Adobe Reader 8.1.2

Hi,
I'm trying to change my preferred media player in the Preferences but the drop down list only contains QT and Flash. Anyway to add another player to the list? My problem is that QT won't play an .avi movie that I want to embed in my PDF file.
Thanks.

Locate Flip4Mac. That ill allow QT to play AVI,WMV, WMA files. Also go into Qt preferences from system Preferences, and locate the button MIME Types. Click on that button and see if listing for AVI if so check it.

    Dear Maccies, after years of pain with MS-Windows I recently changed (convcerted?) to OS X. Brought my Real Player with me. Now I have some issues, viewing video files on Safari:
    - How can I tell Safari, that I wish RealPlayer to be used for viewing files (where do I find thsi setting?)
    - How to tel RealPlayer 11 that I want my "Donwload This File" Button back? (Where to find this settin?)
    Please help! Thank you. Best wishes.

  • About Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader

    Hi folks,
    Archlinux 86-64 2007-08-2
    SeaMonkey 1.1.6,
    I need to install Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader
    I found following link;
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ins … _on_Arch64
    But not for Seamonkey.  Does it work on Seamonkey.  Besides it's flash plugin.  Would it be the same as Adobe Flash Player?
    Does 32bit Adobe Reader works on 64bit Seamonkey.  Where can I download it?  Where can I find its installation document?
    TIA
    B.R.

    it looks like the package didn't build.  Go back to your nspluginwrapper directory and run
    makepkg
    as your user, if this completes successfully it should create a file called something like
    nspluginwrapper-0.9.91.5-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.gz
    probably in the current directory.  It may fail initially due to unsatisfied dependencies but you should be able to install them using pacman since I think all the lib32- stuff is in [Community] now.
    Thanks for your advice.

  • My company web site said I don't have windows media player or Acrobat Reader. If I use IE It lets me in. What do I do?

    My company web site said I don't have windows mediA player or Acrobat Reader. If I go in with IE I don't have any problems. What do I do?

    There is a very good chance you are experiencing a problem with having both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.
    You need to remove one and repair (or possibly reinstall) the other. It isn't recommended or supported to have both.

    Question:  I bought a 5 yr old Mac G5 OSx 10.4.11, 2 GHz intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB 667 MHz DDR1 SDRAM memory.  It works fine but I can't get Thunderbird, Flash Player or Adobe reader to install -- it shows up on desktop as download but not App folder. Why?

    The downloads are probably .dmg files (disk images).  You would open the disk image (double-click it) to find the application or an installer.  If it's the application itself, you then drag the application to your Applications folder to "install" it.  If it's an installer, double-click the installer to run the installer that installs the application.
    NOTE:  If you iMac is Intel, it's not a PPC G5.

  • My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?

    My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?

    I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
    As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

  • How do I change which media player adobe reader X uses when I click a link that directs me to a vid

    There is a link in a pdf file I use, and when I click on it i receive this message:
    "This media requires an additional player. Please click 'Get Media Player' to download the correct media player. To play the media, you will need to close and restart the application once the player installation is complete."
    However, I am in possession of several media players that I know are able to play the file that the link is referring to.
    I do not want to download additional media players. I just want to figure out how to play the video when I click on the link.
    Thanks for your time.

    Andy, is your profile signature "iMac (27-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.7.5)" still correct or has your system changed since you set it up?
    the Aperture database that is under Media - Photo is the wrong one
    This may be a problem of a wrong entry in the Aperture preferences file. The Media Browser will use the most recently opened Aperture library . Try first to switch to a new empty Aperture library and then back (you can switch using the File menu in Aperture (File > Switch to Library > Other/New). Then restart your Mac to ensure, that all applications terminate properly.
    If you are running Aperture 3.5.1 in Mt. Lion or later, you may need to enable the option "Share XML with other applications" in the Aperture preferences "Preview" tab. This is only necessary for non-Apple apps (Aperture 3.5: Set "Share XML with other applications" to "Never" for better performance and faster quit times).
    If that does not correct the Aperture library in the Media Browser, quit Aperture and remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder as described in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting basics.

  • Is it possible to change the version of Flash Player that Adobe Reader 9 uses?

    I'm currently attempting to put some flash content within a pdf using the new Rich Media extensions.  I have a working Flash .swf  that uses some of the newer methods that only Flash Player 10 supports.  The file can run on its own within Flash Player 10, but inside Adobe Reader 9 the flash player version is set to WIN 9,0,159,0 and the .swf file does not work.  Is there any way to change the version of the Flash Player used in Adobe Reader 9?

    Try code like this:
    <pre><nowiki>#window-controls .toolbarbutton-icon {
    width: 25px !important;
    height: 25px !important;
    </nowiki></pre>
    The three buttons have these IDs:
    <pre><nowiki>#minimize-button
    #restore-button
    #close-button</nowiki></pre>

  • H.264 Blu-Ray rendered .m4v files won't playback in any media player except Adobe software

    Hello guys and thank you in advance for your help. I am going to pull my hair out!
    I had to reinstall Windows 7 and am experiencing an issue that is driving me crazy. All of my 720p H.264 Blu-Ray.m4v files rendered with After Effects will not play in any player I try in Windows. I've tried Windows Media Player, VLC, and Media Player Classic. I've tried with a clean install and no other codecs except those included with Windows 7. I've tried installing additional h.264 codecs. I've tried installing ffdshow and other codecs as well and no matter what I do, the files will not play at all.
    The only way I can preview the file it to load it in AE or Encore or something similiar. Unfortunately, this is not the best solution for me. I'd love to be able to preview the files quickly and efficiently through Windows Explorer / Media Player without opening Adobe software. I don't think that's too much to ask.
    Another issue is that before I reinstalled Windows that these files played back just fine in Windows Media Player! I don't know why it was working and now it's not on a clean install. All of the hardware is the same. On the original working install, I don't recall installing any additional codec packs or anything. It just worked...
    Regular .mp4 H.264 files (not Blu-Ray) play just fine in all players. Something the Blu-Ray spec is doing to the file causes it to not work. And changing the extension to mp4 does nothing.
    Please tell me what I am doing wrong! Is it something with the Mainconcept codec? Is it something with my drivers? What am I missing?!?

    Thanks for the suggesstion Mylenium, but that didn't help either.
    I installed PowerDVD which came with the Blu-Ray drive, and also a trial of ArcSoft's Blu-Ray player, and neither would play the files.
    Any other suggestions? This is killing me. I don't understand why they would play before and not now. The files arne't corrupt. Even new rendered outputs in the same preset won't play. They'll load into Encore just fine though and even are listed as "Don't Transcode", so I know the files themselves are okay.
    Could it have anything to do with drivers? I was testing an Nvidia video card with my last build and now I'm just using a Sandy Bridge chip with Intel's on-board video. But I do remember even when I took the Nvidia card out and just ran on-board video the last time, the files still played fine...

  • How to change default media player setting in Mountain Lion

    I right click on the desired media player, then I click on "get info" and another pop up appears,
    but there is no "open with" selection!  See pic below:
    I open the application folder in the Finder window, I highlight the desired media player, I go to the top and
    click on File and in the drop down menu, the "open with" is grayed out.  Why?
    How do I change the default media player setting or better yet, where do I find what is the default player?  Help Please!

    CheeMiss8
    you need to find the file you are trying to have open with a specific application.
    for example, I'm going to use an MP4 file titled cat_adventure video.
    here it is in finder
    I right click (secondary click) it in finder, and then hold down the option key on my keyboard.
    the Open With dialogue should change to "Always Open With" and then you choose your application from the pull out menu when you hover that.
    You can make it so all MP4 or whichever file you are using (AVI, MKV, etc) to open with a specific app by right clicking the file choosing get info
    The difference here is I'm not selecting the application but a file with the extension of the video format I always want to be opened with a specific application
    once in the get info menu I can then select to have the video always open with a certain app.
    1.click the open with accordion menu arrow if it is pointing to the left. it should be pointing down.
    2.select the application you want to always be associated with that file format
    3.select Change All to have that file format always be opened with that Application.
    Where this isn't working for you is because you are doing this to the Application itself. you don't do it like that. You need to find the type of file you are trying to open with itunes and then go through these steps.
    selecting the application (itunes) instead of the file (mp4, avi, mkv, flv) will not allow you to set what the file format lets you use to play your video.
    having said that, itunes is very limited in what it can and can't play. Mainly .mov and mp4's (apples proprietary extensions)

  • Flash Player And adobe reader not working and downloads don't work

    I have IE 8 and windows vista and everything has worked great for 2 years until 2 or 3 weeks ago.  At that time my flash player stopped working so I could no longer get videos , streaming stock quotes, weather map loops, etc and when I go to websites that use Flash (i.e. Piaaz Hut) it wouldn't work.  Also, at that same time my adobe reader stopped working properly and I can't view mosy PDF Files.
    I have gone through many of the posts on this forum and have tried many of the fixes, but none have work for me.
    I tried to uninstall the Flash Player, but I didn't use the Adobe uninstaller.
    Whenever I try to update or load the Flash player, a dialog box with the globe tossing papers to the folder appears and then after a few seconds I get the the message that IE can't install_flash_player_ax.exe from fp download.adobe.com, and then a message that says IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
    In control panel programs I have listed
    Adobe AIR      no size
    Adobe Flash Player 10 active X           no size
    Adobe Reader 9.3     141mb
    Macromedia Shockwave player      no size
    In Tools i have the following add ons and they are all enabled
    Shockwave Flash object 10.0.42.34
    Adobe PDF Link Helper
    Adobe PDF Reader
    Macromedia Shockwave Active X Control 10.1
    As I said I've already attempted a number of the fixes on this forum, but so far no luck.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what else I might try?
    Thanks

    Ok, I tried to download the firefox browser but IE wouldn't let me download it.  My friend downloaded it from their computer to a flash drive and I loaded it to my computer from the flash drive.  The download of Firefox from the flash drive worked, and now I'm using Firefox & both my adobe flash player and my adobe reader are working just great.
    However, neither the flash player nor the reader are working if I use IE, so I guess I will just have to use Firefox as my browser.
    I'm going to mark my question as answered since I really don't care that I have to use Firefox instead of IE,although I can't understand why it works using Firefox but not using IE.
    Thank you so much for your assistance in walking me step-by-step through this problem until I was able to reach a satisfactory solution.

  • How do I change the font size on Adobe Reader 8.1.2

    I recently purchased an HP  laptop running Vista. It came with Adobe Reader 8.1.2.  I can't change the font size in a form that I am filling out.  I can cut& paste a different font size into the form but not change the font size.  Someone said that it is a free download so I won't be able to change the font size. Does anyone know a fix?

    To change the font size in PDF forms, one needs to have Adobe Acrobat rather than Adobe Reader.

  • Error playing media clip in Adobe Reader X (10.1.0)

    Hi,
    A pdf, which was sent to me, has embedded media clips. However, when I try to play these clips a JavaScript error message comes up saying 'Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip'. The document was probably created in an old version of adobe and therefore I'm wondering if this is the reason why the media files fail to play in the latest version  (10.1.0)?
    I am using windows vista. I have uninstalled and re-installed the adobe reader and also tried playing the clips when the firewalls are down but neither of these things have helped.
    Any help or tips would be really appreciated.
    Many thanks
