Golive and WMV streaming files

I am tryin to get a WMV streaming file to work on my Windows XP laptop. I created a WVX redirect as follows:
I upload this file (ASCII format) to my server and put it into the same folder as my wmv streaming file. Then I create an HTML page in GOLive 5 using the QT plugin and create a link to the Meta file. When I load the Html file and go to play the videoon my Windows XP machine, I get an error message in The Windows Media Player that says it can't locate the file. But it is definitely there. I even downloaded the latest QT player for Windows XP and stil nothing. I can go directly to the wmv file in my browser and it will download (not stream) just fine. Any suggestions?

Hello Xandrex,
Thanks for your reply. I was afraid my post has gotten lost between many others.
Your advise did not work. Still getting same error "unsupported file format" and in order to get rid of it I need to do the battery pull.
Any other ideas?

    I have similar issues, on certain sites I get the following error message "because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content cannot be displayed, application/x-mplayer2". Now I have to admit I'm not very technically gifted when it comes to computers but I have installed ALL plug-ins that are compatible with Safari, I have also un/re-installed Safari - no joy! This is very frustrating as I have just switched from Internet Explorer because of the "sexy" interface of Safari and don't really want to go back.......Please help!

  • SQL loader and stream files with new line '

    I have been trying unsuccessfully to load EDI files using SQL loader. The problem

  • Streaming video using Frontpage 2003 and Quicktime .mov files

    What is the proper way to stream video files. I created a .mov file using iLife and I use Frontpage 2003 to upload to my website.
    I read in Microsft's official book on FrontPage2003 that all I had to do was to insert a movie file into a web page, just like inserting a picture. I was also told that I do not have to have the file on a streaming server, I could just keep it on the regular web site.
    The file does download to the browser, but it does not start the video playing.
    Do I need to do something elese? Or do I have to have the file on a streaming server.
    Thanks
    George

    "Streaming" QT files requires Streaming Server software.
    Your files probably just "download" via http protocols.
    And, since the recent update to Internet Explorer for PC's, the page code syntax has changed from that used in your FrontPage files.
    Your "page code" tells the plug-in what to do with your file. If you're directly linking to QT content then it is bypassing the plug-in and your entire file must download before playback can begin.
    Some links for you:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011
    Explains the structure needed for embedded files.
    And now, the new news from Microsoft regarding Internet Explorer:
    http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html
    You need to change the "tags" to include autoplay="true" (and a few extra tags for the new M$ update).

  • Why can't I open pps and wmv files sent by email!

    Many friends send photos and/or files with pps and wmv designations. Windows continually rejects them with the message that it is unable to open them.
    How can I fix this?

    I don't know. What exactly happens? (Exactly - including all error messages in full please) What is your computer (e.g. Windows 7), browser, and email program?

  • How do you play MPG and WMV files on a MAC?

    I am no longer able to play MPG and WMV files on my MAC. I have Flip4MAC, which is I think what I used to use to play them (but not sure). All I know is that I used to be able to before but now they won't play. Do I need some sort of different software or has Microsoft started making these files in a way that won't allow MAC users to play them? If anyone is kind enough to help, please explain in the most basic terms as I'm not that computer literate.

    If the .mpg/.mpeg files are non-rights-protected you should be able to play them in Quicktime or iTunes. If the wmv files are non-rights-protected you should be able to use Flip4Mac. If the mpg/mpeg or wmv files are rights-protected you'll need the software or subscription that allows you to view copyrighted files.

  • Just downloaded the 3 updates today... and now i can't view streaming files

    updated... now anytime i want to view a video on youtube or google, or anywahere else i get the little quicktime symbol with the "?"...
    i made sure quicktime was set for streaming files on the web... i made sure i had macromedia flash player... i then downloaded it and re-downloaded it AGAIN... still the little quicktime symbol with the "?"
    i know the answer is sitting right in front of me, and i feel like an idiot... can someone please help me?

    Adjusting my MIME settings in QuickTime did nothing to solve my problem with streaming Flash video in Safari, but here's what did...
    1.) I went to Users/HomeFolder/Library and moved the Preference folder to my Desktop.
    2.) Next, I launched Safari and confirmed that the problem went away in the absence of my bloated Preference folder (a new Preference folder was created on the fly).
    3.) After removing the contents of the new Preference folder, I started moving my old preferences into the new Preference folder alphabetically in groups. After each new group was added, I launched Safari to see if the problem returned. As I added back prefs, I replaced any newer prefs [newly created because I tested Safari] with my older prefs. The problem returned when I got to the C's. I pulled the C's back out of the new Preferences folder. Again, the problem went away.
    4.) After putting all the C's, ten at a time, back into the new Preferences folder, the problem failed to return. However, when I put the remaining old prefs in the new Prefereces folder, the problem returned. Upon taking every thing after C back out, the problem went away again.
    5.) Finally, after putting all the old prefs after C into the new Preferences folder (this time in groups of ten to twenty), the problem failed to return.
    I realize this is not a complete answer as it never identified the culprit or culprits specifically. Perhaps its a matter of order. All I know is my problem is solved and I did not have to trash ALL my prefereces to do it.
    Good Luck

  • PE7 and Exporting Quicktime Files for Streaming

    PE4 saves Quicktime (H.264) files with the header at the end, so trying to stream them as they download in a Flash player doesn't work (the entire file must download before it will play).
    Has anyone with PE7 had any luck streaming Quicktime files? I wish there was a way for me to ask an Adobe developer if they addressed this in PE7.

    You can definitely export chapter markers to a QuickTime movie. Whoever is playing it back needs QT Player 7.1 (I think) to be able to use chapters though.
    Make sure you select Chapter Markers in the FCP export dialog instead of All Markers. I have never tried it with a streaming file but go ahead, be a pioneer and tell us how it works out.

  • Opening gif and wmv files

    I have received emails with attachments in gif and wmv formats that will not open. Yet on my old iMac running 10.3 there is no problem, they open automatically. On wmv format get message OSStatus error -50. My Quick Time Player (v. 7.3.1) implies that I have to buy the program. I thought that when buying the iMac 20" with Leopard installed I would have all applications included. Any suggestions?

    For WMV content you'll need the free

    (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported)
    For other stuff, here's the list I found to be helpful:

  • Safari won't open .pdf and .wmv pages

    Safari does not work when I try to access a webpage with a pdf. I get a black page and and a spinning ball.
    Safari does not work when I try a link on a web page for a .wmv. This time it's a blank page with a spinning ball. I am even unable to close the tab, and have to force quit safari.
    I have windows media (.app) and adobe. Both functions work well in Firefox, but don't work in Safari. I also have the .app flip for mac, which is supposed to to work with Safari. I'm not sure this is the problem.
    Also, when I close Safari I sometimes get a message asking if I want to send details to Apple re Safari crashing. I guess it doesn't know when I am closing it vs when it crashes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I saw that Flip4Mac support was referring some people to the beta version of the current release of their software, due to random WMV streaming problems. You might want to grab that version off their iDisk public folder: Go > iDisk > other users public folder (flip4mac is the member name) You will see a folder called "Flip4Mac installers", download installer v.2.2.039
    If you're gonna try that, I'd recommend uninstalling the current F4M version first. Post back if it works to solve your issues.
    One more note is that you may want to check out the F4M users forum to see if any of your particular problems are mentioned there. The moderator, Craig, is pretty good about responding. Their forum is HERE.

  • Mp3 and wmv from Mac to WM 5 handheld

    I have a T-Mobile Dash with Windows Mobile 5.
    I have about 85 mp3's and a few .wmv video files I'd like to load onto my handheld (I have a memory chip installed)— from my Mac (which is 0S 10.3.9).
    Missing Sync will not link Windows Mobile 5 to OS 10.3.9.
    I don't want to sinc calendar or e-mail. I just want to music and, if possible, video from my Mac. Any way to do this directly form my Mac to my Dash? Thx

    The fastest quickest and the easiest is to simply open the external and when it shows up on your mac you DRAG and DROP anything you want from the mac to the external or the other way around. This works both ways.

  • I can no longer edit information for streaming files in Get Info.

    I can no longer edit information for streaming files in Get Info.

    Similar problem here. My Ical refuses to edit or delete events. Viewing is possible, though sometimes the whole screen turns grey. Adding new events from mail is still possible. The task-pane completely disappeared. My local apple technic-centre messed about with disk utility for a bit and than told me to reinstall leopard. I could of course do that, but it seems to me that reinstalling Leopard just to fix iCal events is a bit invasive.
    I tried also tried removing everything, installing a new copy of iCal from the leopard-cd, software updates, all to no avail.
    At the moment I'm open to all suggestions that do not include a complete leopard reinstall.

  • I write digital port by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi​' and receive TDMS file with 8 boolean channels. How can I write to 1 integer channel?

    Hello!
    I want to write 1 digital port from PXI-6536 with streaming to TDMS file.
    I'm writing by 'DAQmx Configure Logging.vi' and become TDMS file with 8 boolean channels.
    How can I write to 1integer channel?

    Hey Atrina,
    The actual data stored on disk is just the raw data (that is, a byte per sample in your case).  It's really just a matter of how that data is being represented in LabVIEW whenever you read back the TDMS file.
    I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this, but here is a way to accomplish what you're wanting:
    Read back the TDMS file as a digital waveform.  Then there's a conversion function in LabVIEW called DWDT Digital to Binary.  This function will convert that set of digital channels into the "port format" that you're wanting.  I've attached an example of what I mean.
    Note: When looking at this VI, there are a few things that the downgrade process did to the VI that I would not recommend for these TDMS files.  It added a 1.0 constant on the TDMS Open function, and it set "disable buffering" on the TDMS Open function to false; you can get rid of both of those constants.

  • Using FCE with 7500 iMovie DV Stream files: best approaches?

    I have about 50 hours of irreplaceable DV footage, of the first 5+ years of my children's lives. I saved all this footage to hard disk over these past 5 years using whatever the latest version of iMovie was at the time, so I have around 7500 DV stream clips created in iMovie 2, 3, 4, and HD. There has been no editing, no titles, no transitions. Just 50 untouched iMovie projects sitting for years on several FireWire disks.
    First question: Which format of digital video is currently more universally compatible and accessible by software: DV Stream (like iMovie uses) or DV-NTSC (like FCE uses)? I'd like my unedited video to be stored in a format that has a decent chance of being around for a while. (Which format is the Betamax, and which is VHS?)
    Anyway, the time has finally come to start editing this monumental volume of material. I want to leave iMovie, and learn to use FCE because iMovie is still buggy, FCE is more powerful, and -- here are the key words -- because FCE has 'RT Extreme" and "seamless iMovie import."
    The challenge, and the reason I need your advice, is now how to bring these 7500 iMovie DV stream files into FCE, in such a way so RT Extreme really works when editing these clips and the transition to FCE is really "seamless." Seamlessness is not the feeling I get when I've read several threads in this forum that address sticky problems arising when trying to work on iMovie projects using FCE.
    My hope was I could avoid such problems by somehow "importing" each iMovie DV stream clip into FCE and "converting" them to FCE's DV-NTSC format. Then my intention was to save the new DV-NTSC clips to disk and delete the iMovie clips, so I could then work entirely in FCE without any difficulty. IMO, this would be "seamless." As I'm reading through this forum I'm getting the sinking feeling that this is not possible.
    So, QUESTION 2: How best to proceed, when I have 50 iMovie projects, saved using iMovie 2, 3, 4, and HD, with around a total of 7500 DV Stream clips, so as to avoid glitches and delays in the transition, and to preserve features of FCE such as RT Extreme?
    If there are no good options, I suppose one possibility is to re-capture all the video from the original camcorder tapes again, using FCE instead of iMovie. This would be worthwhile especially if the answer to my first question is DV-NTSC. What do you think?
    Besides having to spend 50 hours re-capturing all the video I have on tape, there are other potential difficulties with this. First off, at least one of my original tapes has been "eaten" by my Canon camcorder when the rewind mechanism failed and I only have the DV stream data for that tape. Maybe I could record the affected clips back to tape, then capture them into FCE? Is this a plausible solution?
    Second, these tapes have been sitting around for more than 5 years, without exercising them or doing anything special to keep the data in good shape. What if some of the tapes have drop-outs or other problems? I'd have to go back to my DV Stream data, and I'm back in the same boat.
    I would appreciate any advice/feedback you can offer.

    Tom,
    Thanks a lot for your valuable reply.
    You wrote, "If the project does not import, you'll need to crack open the iMovie project, extract the clips from inside the project folder or package, and import them into FCE."
    This may be a basic operation, but as I don't yet have any working knowledge of FCE, how do you import these clips once you've found them in the package? And if you do that, is a copy made of those clips, or does FCE just remember where they are? If copies are made, are they still in DV Stream format or DV-NTSC/QT?
    For the clip that's been eaten, can I export that clip (using iMovie) to a new DV tape in my camcorder, then import that DV into FCE? If so, would that material then have clip timecode embedded in the QT file, or not? Is that a bad idea for any reason?
    You mentioned some setups with the Canon cameras have been problematic. I have a Canon GL2. I doubt anyone outside of Apple knows yet if it will be a problem with my setup: a PowerMac G5 Quad, with FCE pre-installed. I don't think the Quads have shipped yet.
    Thanks again, and I look forward to your reply to these questions.
    BTW, have you written a book on FCE HD? I didn't see one on Amazon.
