Double trouble with video files...

1) I can't watch any video stream unless I'm root. Here's the groups root resp. riwa are in.
075607/home/riwa/# groups
root bin daemon sys adm disk wheel log audio optical
075724~$ groups
video audio optical users
2) Also the video and sound lag terribly (the sound works perfectly with xmms). I'm using xine-ui and've tried mplayer which doesn't lag but neither launches as regular user.

Hi Bazookajoe117,
As already suggested by Jacumba your symptoms point to a lack of required codec in your system.
Take a look at below post to find out the commonly used codecs in QT that would allow you to play the files without any issue.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

More info please:
Type of camera?
Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

Troubles with xmp files not loading...

I'm having troubles with xmp files not loading with images but are present in the image folders. does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix this. Also when trying to load the xmp individually they are grayed out and unable to load. I have tried this on different machines (Macs) and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this issue.

> The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
Thanks for the help Kees :-)

Satellite 5100/201: trouble with video card or overheat?

Hy,
I'm experiencing trouble with video on a Satellite 5100/201. It seems that when I press on the left side above the graphics card or press a key on the keyboard on that side, the screen starts to be scrambled and vertical lines appear. At the end windows XP resets giving a critical error on the device and the video passes to 640x480. Same thing occurs when running Linux Suse 9.0.
My doubt is what is the cause: the graphics card corrupted or overheating due to the fan not as efficient as originally (my laptop is almost two years old. Did someone succed in finding the cause and resolved the problem, also with the Toshiba assistance?
Any help welcome.

Hi,
I don't think so that Toshiba has problems with the design. You are talking about two different models with two different hardware and for different user profiles!
The 1900 is a Desktop replacement notebook with "desktop" components like processors and the Satellite 5000 is a Multimedia notebook!
Hint: If you had not done it yet, perhaps you could install the graphic card driver once again. If this don't helps, it is the best way to recover the notebook with the Toshiba CD. (this set the notebook to software default settings and the notebook should be work)

Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy

You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

Quicklookd slowing down Leopard with video files

For some reason whenever I'm trying to open a folder with video files, add a video to a project or just open a video, I get the spinning beachball for quite a while before anything happens. This makes using iDVD impossible, Toast almost unbearable and general use of my mac quite annoying. Looking at processes on istat, quicklookd seems to be using 70-80% of the processor, sometimes higher. I could understand if I were using a slow computer but this is on my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz. The files tend to be .avi - either xvid or divx if that's helpful.
Would be enormously grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Extreme trouble transfering video files to ZEN MX

I'm having trouble putting videos on my Zen MX. I've tried a multitude of ways to transfer the file(s);
. Using Centrale with a normal avi. file - convert unsuccessful.
2. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file using the preset conditions for Zen MX and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
3. Using Format Factory to change the avi. file to WMA. format and then using Centrale with the new file - convert unsuccessful.
I just cannot understand why this isn't working. Any suggestions welcome, because if this doesn't work I'm going to have to buy an iPod and I can't be dealing with that shi.

please creative. Scrap the useless fileformat and start support the ones we actually use!

Troubles with .m1v Files

Hi All
I am having trouble working with .m1v files in Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
I exported the .m1v (video only mpeg files) in Adobe Premiere Pro with the Adobe Media Encoder.
But now, when I try to add metadata to these .m1v files by right clicking on one- the right click menu no longer has file info as an option. And further, under the file menu- file info is grayed out when a .m1v file is selected. I also tried selecting the .m1v file and clicking in the IPTC core dialogue box, but when I do this, Bridge gives me an error box that reads: "This property cannot be modified"
Any Ideas???

It's simpler to just reinstall the OS, followed by running Software Update. Reinstalling shouldn't take too long and only replaces the system components and the basic Apple apps, leaving all settings and other files alone.

Troubles with video players

Hi there, well I'm a old user of firefox and I really like the browser, so every time that I find some issue in both: desktop and android mozilla browser, I'm trying to help the community sending some feedback. This time, I want to tell you something: I usually like to play some anime videos on pages like: "www.animeid.tv" or "www.animeflv.net" and both of them have their own mobile version for smartphones and tablets, but when I'm trying to watch some video with mozilla android I get some troubles with the video players and most of the times I'm not able to play any video ( I always try with all the video alternatives offered by the sites and I got the same), I compare it with chrome android and for my surprise I'm able to watch the videos normally.
I have tried differents things like:
- Uninstalling and Installing again Mozilla on my smartphone ( It does not work)
- Cleaning the history's browser ( It does not work too)
- Checking this issue on a different device ( I got the same problem)
So, I would really appreciate if you could help me with this soon as possible.
Thanks

Hi Kristian Roa C.
Thanks for replying!
Just tried all 3 options again (last time was on a Samsung S5) for www.animeid.tv on my HTC One M7 running Android Kitkat 5 & Firefox 36.0.1
and I see the same behaviour as you described
# For DailyMotion I think this could be a bug in Firefox or more likely a bug in the way the video player was coded by the animeid web developers since DailyMotion.com videos work fine in fullscreen if you watch them from dailymotion.com
# For ios: this is of course coded for iOS (which uses the same browser engine as Chrome) so I am not surprised it doesn't work
# For Videobam - I have no idea why it takes so long to load. Might be a bug in Videobam or again the way the web developers have coded it.
# "I compare it with chrome android and for my surprise I'm able to watch the videos normally" - This is unfortunately not a surprise; this happens a lot because many mobile sites are coded by web developers to only work on Safari and Chrome and in doing so are not compatible with webstandards (we call this "webcompat"). I would suggest that you file a support request with animeid.tv to fix their coding and also that you file a webcompat issue at https://webcompat.com/
# "I have a doubt if Mozilla by default has installed flash player or not. And in the negative case: where can I get the apk?." - You are right, Mozilla doesn't install flash by default. Please install the flash player by following our instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-watch-flash-videos-firefox-android and here: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installing-flash-player-android-devices.html
Sorry that I can't give you a definitive solution but hopefully the above will help a wee bit.
Cheers!

Problem with video file SEEKING (Seek.java)

Hi,
I have a problem with seeking the video file, actually mpeg2 file. I tried the Seek.java example from sun web site (http://www.cs.odu.edu/~cs778/spring04/lectures/jmfsolutions/examplesindex.html#seek) but it doesn't work. When I try to call getControl it returns null.
fpc = (FramePositioningControl)p.getControl("javax.media.control.FramePositioningControl");
if (fpc == null) {
System.err.println("The player does not support FramePositioningControl.");
System.err.println("There's no reason to go on for the purpose of this demo.");
return false;
Does anybody have some idea how to make a player that will support FramePositioningControl ???
Or do you know some java dvd player that can be used in java application for free?
thx a lot

     Manager.setHint(Manager.PLUGIN_PLAYER, new Boolean(true));

Trouble with music file

I'm trying to listen to a music program which they place in an archive. When I click on the "Window" icon it opens to the following window. I've chosen iTunes and Real Player without success.

After choosing the above applications I get the following window.
http://i38.tinypic.com/25zpao3.png
Any suggestions, or is not capable of running on a mac
The web site it comes from is below:
http://www.kuow.org/swing_years.php

Hello Frank,
In Firefox, try right-clicking or Control-clicking on the Windows link -- the one below "Available 12:05 a.m. Sunday until the next show" is the one I used. When the contextual menu appears select "Save Link As..." A Save As window should popup with "swingyears.asx" already populated, along with your default Save-to location, which might be the Desktop. Go ahead and hit Save.
You should now see a downloaded 4KB .asx file on your Desktop (or in your default download folder). This file points to the archived stream. Try double clicking on the file to open it using your default application for the .asx file type. If double-clicking on the .asx file fails, try right-clicking or Control-clicking on the file and select Open With > VLC. You can also try right-clicking on it and choose Open With > QuickTime Player and see what happens.
I had no trouble opening the file using QuickTime Player, Windows Media Player, RealPlayer, or VLC. Good luck!
Regards, Andrew99

I am having an issue with video file size increasing after editing in iMovie 11

So I start off my iMovie 11 video project with a .mp4 video file of roughly 900MB. After chopping off the beginning and ending (which is all I want to do) I have attempted finalizing and exporting using numerous options. The problem is, each time I do this my file turns into a 3.9GB .mov file! I don't want a huge file, I don't want a changed format file. I simply want to cut off the beginning and ending of my movie and leave everything else the same. Theoretically, this should make the file SMALLER since I am removing footage. Correct?
As you can probably tell, I am new to all this. But can anyone tell me how to keep my .mp4 file extension and simply delete the start and end?
Thanks!

The simple answer is, Don't Use iMovie.
If you want to just trim off pieces you can do that in QuickTime X, which is already installed on your Mac. Open the movie in the QuickTime X player. Now go to the Edit Menu and choose Trim... At the bottom of the window you will see a series of thumbnail images with a yellow highlighted box around it. To cut off the beginng pull in the handle along the left hand side of the yellow box. Same is true for the end grab the yellow handle on the right side and pull it in as well. Then click the Trim button, now you've got just the piece of the video you want to save. Now go to File > Save As... set the Format to be Movie (to keep it in the same file format as it started as.
This avoids all the transcoding/conversion that goes on when you import a video into iMovie.
