Flash version of Windows Media Player

Anyone know where you can get a flash player like the one on
this site??
http://www.jeejuh.com/
The player is awesome, i've seen it on a few sites making me
think that you can buy it rather than it being custom made.
Thanks :-)

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Flash content in Windows Media Player

Can Flash Content play in the Windows Media Player? I don't see it as a supported file type but found this on the Microsoft site:
...you must have Adobe Flash 9 installed to play Flash content through Windows Media Player. If Flash 9 is not installed, a dialog box that contains the following text prompts you to install Flash 9
Thanks

I looked up the internet but can't find anything on this. As no replies here too I guess I'm the only one. The other thing that struck me is the enormous CPU usage when playing flash in the browser. Up to 95%-100% cpu usage when playing HD flash content. First I assumed it was a Flash issue but Internet Explorer never used more then 35%-55%. I then assumed it was just Flash in Safari. Strange thing is, if I maximize the window the cpu load actually drops to 55%. I only get high cpu usage when flash is played in the Safari window. I guess that means it's something to do with the browser and not an isolated flash 'bug'.
Also still no luck playing WMV in the browser itself. Maybe time to look for yet another browser. A shame as I like the Safari browser a lot. MobileMe and iPhone are great to sync bookmarks and the look and feel is great. The engine is not so good unfortunately.

When in firefox, I get a message that says no version of windows media player is supported. When I euse internet explorer with the same website, no error occurs. Why?

I am working in the H&R Block website. When I get ready to take a test in their system, I get that error message described above. If I exit Firefox and use internet explorer instead there is no problem.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Encoding iMovie files for Windows Media Player

iMovie 11 / 9.0
Mac OS 10.6.8
I edit audio/video in iMovie (currently the only program I have) and need to output for streaming on the internet. Most of our subscribers are using older versions of Windows Media Player and as I understand won't be able to play MP4. I couldn't play the MP4 using Windows Media Player 9.0, "invalid format" error.
What software could I use to convert MP4 to a format for streaming on the internet that our subscribers play using WMP? Should I save the file out of iMovie in a different format to convert?
I have Adobe Media Encoder 4.2.0.006 but my options are h.264 or flash, got error messages when I tried to "Edit Export Settings".
Thanks

The easiest way is to upload video to YouTube and embed videos on your site from there. This way you don't have to worry about which version of Windows, which version of Internet Exlorere, etc.
Another way, ask your users to install QuickTime For Windows. Then export normally,
Another way, get one of the paid versions of Flip4Mac, and you can convert files to wmv using QuickTime Pro or MPEG Streamclip or Compressor.

32 bit Flash version with Windows 7

Howdo
I am being asked by a supplier of an online technical test to install a 32 bit version of adobe flash player because the 64 bit version I have currently installed will not work. My environment is Windows 7 Home Premium, IE10. I have visited the Adobe download site, but that merely points me to 64 bit versions.
Any ideas ?
Cheers
Richard

Thank you for your reply.
The online assessment will not work. I suspect it relies on flash to run it. After I log in I proceed through a couple of screens which talk about the assessment. The screen supplies 2 buttons, 1 to start a practice session, another to do the actual assessment. I click the practice button whereupon a small popup window appears with a "please wait" message. This is quickly replaced by an errorpage.aspx which reports an error code. Following a link to an explanation of the error code it tells me this:
"This message is displayed when the connection to the assessment system cannot be established. A firewall or security software may be blocking the test from downloading or one of your browser software components is not up-to-date.
In order to overcome this problem, please ensure your version of Java and Adobe Flash Player is up-to-date. You can download the latest version for free using the below links:
Java: www.java.com/getjava/
Flash: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/"
In addition to this a link is displayed which helpfully attempts to verify environment setting. It opens another page which lists some current computer settings. Those checked as correct are given a green tick, those in error are given a red cross. Operating system and browser type are OK with green ticks, Flash plugin version and windows media player are marked with red crosses with links next to both to show how to fix them. The flash link takes me to another screen which displays this message:
"If you are using Internet Explorer (IE) please ensure that you use the 32-bit version. Flash is not compatible with the 64-bit version of IE."
Then it points to the adobe site to get the right download.
If my 64 bit flash also comes with 32 bit, how do I switch it on please ?
Thank you
Richard

BIG QUESTION/ QuickTime or WIndows Media Player

Tomorrow morning i need to make a recommendation as to what product to go with for handling all web based video content. Stuff like streaming educational videos to live press feeds. Basically It's a no brainer for me, I say quicktime, but this would mean a complete overhaul off their network, which is fairly new. So the question is, what would be the definitive reason to go with Quicktime and what does it offer the WMP doesn't.
This will have an effect on a large amount of people that use windows based PC's. So Quicktime will be a hard sell, but I believe its the way our industry is going and has gone.
Any advise at all would be greatly appreciated. I have studied all I can and just need to hear from people who actually use these products.
Thank you..
G4 Dual 1.25 2 GB RAM, Mac Pro Dual 3.66 5 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

QuickTime is really a no-brainer.
Start on the content creation side: EVERY professional media production tool I can think of (well, except for those intended to author Flash...) supports QuickTime natively, most actually use the QuickTime frameworks internally. In my own shop, we use mostly Avid Xpress Pro systems, and every one of them can generate a beautiful QuickTime movie with very little trouble, but about half of the systems will obstinately refuse to export a watchable Windows Media file.
For the content itself, QuickTime provides a scalable multimedia architecture that can easily integrate into just about anything you want. QuickTime Streaming Server and QuickTime Broadcaster are perfectly capable streaming products, and if you don't want to invest in a MacOS server, you can run the Darwin Streaming Server instead; I believe we're running it on a Solaris-based machine here. Best of all, the streaming tools are free.
Are you into custom presentation and Web delivery? QuickTime is the only architecture I can think of that allows you to embed a custom player *into the movie itself*. Do you have special features you wish to include? Once I visited a web page where they used a JavaScript player, an ActiveX control, Windows Media Player, and a ton of JavaScript to provide multi-lingual subtitles for a news videotape. Had they chosen to use QuickTime instead, the text tracks and alternate audio tracks could have been embedded into the movie and some very simple JavaScript controls could have been used to control the QuickTime plug-in. Quite simply, if your needs extend *at all* beyond the most basic problems of presenting audio and video files, QuickTime has the technical capabilities that *no other multimedia platform* can provide. Yes, you can stream or serve any kind of video file. But if you want to go beyond that, you need QuickTime.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that QuickTime, unlike Windows Media, is truly a multiple-platform solution. It stops short of being totally platform-independent, but as a cross-platform architecture it again far surpasses Windows Media, in that the entire QuickTime architecture is available in the freely downloadable QuickTime Player for Windows. By comparison, the MacOS version of Windows Media Player is buggy, incomplete, slow, and was abandoned by Microsoft about four years ago. One may argue that QuickTime is not installed by default on Windows machines (so what? Windows Media Player is not installed by default on Apples, either!), but the market strength of Apple's iPod product line has largely taken care of that problem. Apple offers a generous distribution license for QuickTime, and at least when you install QuickTime on a Windows machine you get full QuickTime functionality.
In my opinion, the decision is still a no-brainer. QuickTime is the obvious choice for multimedia delivery.
Caveat: Do you expect any other opinion on Apple's QuickTime discussion board? Still, I think the case is pretty clear.

A small bug in Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 8.1 and Windows 7

First of all, do excuse me as I have absolutely no idea where to go to report bugs in either Windows Media Player, or the Microsoft's Media Foundation filters that most probably handle the actual parsing and decoding. I see that some related bug reports
have gotten noticed here on the Technet forums, and thus ended up writing here.
Some time ago I helped a fellow internet user to update his encoding pipe line from quite an older version of ffmpeg and libx264 to a newer one. After some testing, I noticed him being unhappy with the result because of "black borders" around the
video clip, but only in WMP12, not in other players. Being interested in what this was, I went on and started checking out the behavior.
What I found out is that, with the newer ffmpeg and libx264, WMP12 was only seeing the video resolution (which was 1440x1080) at first, and resized/matched the player window according to that. Only after that did it then, within this window, actually show
the video and apply the correct aspect ratio to it (4:3 sample/pixel aspect ratio, or 16:9 display aspect ratio). In other words, the video would play correctly, but within a 4:3 display aspect ratio video surface, leading to black bars on the top and the
bottom.
Now, if you manually resize the window, the black borders would of course go away. This is because they were not part of the video, but just something the player had based its window size calculations on originally. With the older ffmpeg + libx264 mix
things would Just Work, and the auto-sizing worked.
So I went off to look up all the data in the files that could relate to aspect ratio :) .
[tkhd: Track Header Box] in the container has the width and height set to 1920x1080 in both files, so this is most probably ignored
[pasp: Pixel Aspect Ratio Box] in the container is only present in the new one, and thus most probably ignored. hSpacing and vSpacing are set to 4 and 3, thus becoming 4:3 (this is the
pixel or sample aspect ratio, so this is correct for 1440x1080 to be shown as 16:9). This information, if available, should trump the aspect ratio information in the stream (a quote from ISO/IEC 14496-12: "These
(pasp and clap boxes) are both optional; if present, they over-ride the declarations (if any) in
structures specific to the video codec, which structures should be examined if these boxes are absent.") .
In the actual AVC/H.264 stream both files have aspect_ratio_idc set. The older file has the value set to 255 (Extended_SAR structure follows), and Extended_SAR then contains sar_width set to 4 and sar_height set to 3. On the newer file, on the other hand,
we have a value of 14. Looking at the H.264 specification, value 14 is defined as "4:3 , 1440x1080 16:9 frame without horizontal overscan"
So... Since the pasp box seems to be completely irrelevant and ignored, and since the tkhd box contains exactly the same information in both cases and thus seems to be ignored, the only thing that comes to mind is that:
Only the information from the AVC/H.264 video stream is actually taken into mention at this stage.
The AVC/H.264 video stream parser does not know the aspect_ratio_idc value 14.
I haven't actually tried to change the values in the parameter set's VUI parameters around to be sure of this being the reason, but, unless WMP misunderstands what the pasp box's value means (4:3 read as the aspect ratio for the whole picture, instead of
one sample/pixel), that's the only reason I can see this happening because of.
A small sample mp4 file for this issue is provided at fushizen.eu/samples/wmp12_mp4/merry_christmas.mp4 . Having the automatic zoom set to 50% does help replicating it with smaller displays :) . WMP will resize its video window to a 4:3 display aspect ratio,
and then show the 16:9 display aspect ratio content within that. This happens with both Windows 8.1 as well as Windows 7, on Windows Media Player 12.
Now, if the issue is actually on ffmpeg's or libx264's side, feel free to note the technical problems with the sample, and I will review and then report them if I see the related specifications agreeing on the issue. So far this seems to be purely a problem
with the related Media Foundation filters, and/or Windows Media Player 12.

I have a lot of grief with this version of Windows Media Player.
It is very buggy and frustrating to use.
I have my Music library on a QNAP NAS, which is as reliable as they come.
System notifications make it not save changes. It also does not do a good job of interpreting albums and artists from folders. Changes to track names are not saved, nor are tracks moved to other albums, renamed albums, changes to genre, artist
or date. It separates and merges albums/tracks without sense or reason. Some changes I've made up to 4 times, then closed WMP and re-started my machine to check if it has/hasn't saved the changes. Often it has not.
This is the first time I've used WMP in this capacity, and I do not recommend it.
New service pack please.

If you're having problems updating firmware and have Windows Media Player 11 B

I've seen a number of problems with people updating their firmware with WMP installed and it turns out that's the problem. WMP has a bug in it that will not allow the firmware update to recognize the player. So, here's what to do to roll back to a previous version:
These instructions will only work for Windows XP

Some people have found these instructions to be a solution to the "Player Not Connected" Error when trying to update the firmware. (Your mileage may vary)
Note to Mods: This would make a nice sticky

OK. I've been having this problem and have probably read every post there is on the net concerning it. But it doesn't seem to be only a Media Player problem. I was only running Media Player 0 when it happened to me. I found the solution somewhere, I can't remember where, but it worked for me and it was easy.
Here's what you do:
. Download BOTH ZenXtra_PCFW_LA__20_08.exe and enXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe
2. Connect the Zen Xtra to your PC.
3. Run ZenXtra_PCFW_LA__20_08.exe. When the window comes up and says that your device is not connected DON'T do ANYTHING! Just leave it there.
4. Now run ZenXtraP4SAudible_PCFW_LB_2_0_03.exe
5. It told me that I already had this version on my device did I still want to load it's I said yes and it went through the whole upgrade and now it works fine.

XM Radio Help With Windows Media Player

Does anyone know how to get XM Radio to work within Safari? The Windows Media Player plug-in tries to connect but never does. I tried the Flip4Mac plug-in and got the same non-result.
I got the AOL radio player to work but it does not offer all of the XM channels.
Quick Silver Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Well, I just signed up for a 3 day trial at XM and listened to a couple of songs through Safari. I'm not certain which version of Windows Media Player you have installed. If you don't have version 9 then head over to Microsoft and download it. If you do have try re-installing it and see if that helps.

Export FCP seq in a way that will work on Windows Media Player (good grief)

Hello all (again).
Before getting down to business I wanted to thank “FxDude,” TopoTone,” and “governor” for their assistance to my recent posts. By the way- (to all) sorry for the double postings. I was in a time crunch and kind of panicked.
With that said- here’s my deal…
I’ve created a short (5min) commercial for a community college. The project was “dirty work” (which I think is the industry term for taking low quality video from multiple sources, cameras, and formats, and turning it into a single decent looking video). If it isn’t the term- perhaps it should be. Note to self – wow, that was way more work than I ever want to do again. Anyway, I digress. The video is done and looks great as a DVD playing on TV’s or projector etc. Cool? Cool.
Now, although the school will be using the DVD (in most cases) via the mediums of TV and projection, they have also informed me that in many cases, they will be playing the DVD on their various PC laptops and PC desktops alone – aka viewing the DVD on their actual computer screen. Of course, being a community college in California- it’s all PC and all Windows Media Player for them. Further, being a community college- they all run basic versions of WMP with no QuickTime or any other plugins that would facilitate many of Mac’s avi codecs, and they’re not allowed to download such things (at least on the machines owned and operated by the school). Poop I say… POOP!
Of course, as we all know- (in general) most “dirty work” SD videos formatted for NTSC look like dog crap when played on a computer screen (especially full screen modes) mainly because of interlacing etc etc. Since I worked my butt off trying to make crap look decent and succeeded, im sure u can understand my desire to not move back to crap.
What I need- (what I think I need?)
1. I need a version of the video that will play easily on a standard PC via a standard version of Windows Media Player.
2. I need it to look as good a possible.
What I know so far- (what I think I know so far)
1. I need to export a deinterlaced version of the original FCP timeline (sequence).
2. I need the final version to be .wmv file
What I don’t know- (pretty sure I don’t this)
1. What’s the best method of achieving the above? Currently, (based on what I do know and what I have loaded on my mac) I have three
options for achieving the above. FYI- I have a working version of the plugin flip4mac which offers a wmv export option in both my QuickTime conversion window as well as my compressor.
a. Export using QuickTime conversion > choosing wmv, and messing around with the settings to get the best quality.
b. Export using Compressor > choosing wmv, and messing around with the settings to get the best quality
c. Convert a high quality version of the video (perhaps h264 or some other good looking avi using mpeg streamclip to wmv.
My questions- (bless all of you for reading this far- good grief)
1. What’s the best way to do the above?
2. Is there a way, workflow, codec, setting, or religion I can use to get this done in the least amount of steps?
3. I’ve been told that there are some codecs that are by their nature deinterlaced- h264?, is this correct?
4. Based on my issue, what do you think I should do?
My Specs
Sequence Settings
F = 720 x 480, AR NTSC DV(3:2). PAR= NTSC – CCIR 601 / DV (720x480), Anamorphic Checked, FD= Lower / Even, ET= 29.97,
Comp.= DV / DVCPRO-NTSC
Advanced Seq Settings
All same with the addition of quality set to Highest, Scan Mode = Interlaced, and AR set to 16x9.
Clip Settings = same as Seq settings
Once again-
Thanks you guys (as always) for you time-
Terry

Hey Terry
in the corporate world wee have to contend with clients who are all windows based and prevented from installing anything on their systems.
I use Flip4Mac, Studio Pro HD, with the following mix of settings;
Open clip in QT, I do also use compressor but for some reason I like using QT for exporting to WMV.
File/Export
Export:movie to windows media
Use: One pass VBR, Presentation (high), 16:9
Options>
Advanced... input type: interlace Lower field first(DV), output type: progressive
Coding method: Two pass VBR
Give this a shot and then tweak to suit your needs, oh and you can save your settings as a preset for QuickTime.
Within Compressor there is no export to WMV, so you have to start with another setting and create your own saving it for future use.

Windows Media Player in Mac OSX 10.4

I recently upgraded to 10.4 a few months ago, and before I did that, I had Windows Media Player installed on Saffari. When I Upgraded, it still worked, but when I upgraded my other Mac to 10.4, I tried to install Windows Media Player on Safari but it did mot work. My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3. So is there another version of Windows Media Player that I'm just not seeing, or can I download another player for Safari?

Hi Tanner,
My guess is that 10.4 does not recognize the .sitx format that previously worked on my 10.3
Mac OS X 10.4 no longers comes with StuffIt Expander. You'll need to install that to be able to use .sitx files.

Windows Media Player for Mac to play .vob vid?

I downloaded a video that had a ".vob" designation. I couldn't play it, and someone told me that you need the latest version of Windows Media Player to play it.
Can someone please direct me to where I can get that player for the Mac? And what does .vob stand for? Thanks.

.VOB files are not Windows specific. They are a container format for DVD video.
Everything you want to know about .VOB files can be found on the Wiki HERE.
You can play them with VLC which is found HERE.

H.264 not playing in Windows Media Player

OK, so I've exported a 720p video to H.264 format. The resultant .mp4 plays just fine on my Mac where it was created, in both QuickTime and the VLC Player. It also plays on another person's Mac (I'm assuming QuickTime) just fine.
But two people who have Windows machines cannot get the file to play in Windows Media Player. I don't think they've tried another player, but that's irrelevant because I need my output video to be able to play in WMP.
Is H.264 a poor choice in this case? That's always been my go-to format. I thought .mp4 was a universally playable format.
Thank you.

It depends on which version of Windows Media Player they're using. If they're still on XP, it's very possible it won't work. Anyone using Windows 7 or 8 should have no problem. (And perhaps it does need to be said, but everyone should be using either 7 or 8 by now.)
At least one of them was on Windows 7.
Is there a better format I should be using for PP export other than H.264?

N73 and windows media player driver

hi everyone,
im having a problem installing the windows media player driver off the disc for the n73 it installs everything else but fails to install that anyone know where i can down load a copy.?
ive got:
pc suite 6.83
windows xp service pack 2
windows media player 11
cheers

I have the latest version of Windows Media Player 11. I have the same problem and will try to explain the steps in the best way I can.
I connect the N73 to the laptop using a cable
I select media player and press ok twice.
Found New Hardware box appears and tells me "Windows needs to install driver software for your N73.
I select the recommended option "Locate and install driver software"
After a few moments I am then asked to insert the CD that came with the N73. It doesn't work as it is an old CD with old drivers from last year.
I select I don't have CD option and I get "problems and reports caused by mobile phone" message etc.
I have tried installing the latest CA-52 driver but I cannot install since I have the latest PC Suite. Windows Media Player is also set up to automatically download licenses required to play and synchronised tracks.

Window media player wont work with OSX?

Hey, just curious. I downloaded a Windows Media Player that says its for OSX, but when i go to do a test before i subscribe to a streaming radio show it runs a test where its suppose to show a video but i just get jumbled text. am i missing something?

Try using Flip4Mac; Microsoft has abandoned the Mac OS X version of Windows Media Player.
