HF R400. Play back issue on computer. Not the right codec?

I own a Vixia HF R400 and when i try to view my videos on my computer in any media player it says that this file format is not supported in all of the players. It also mentions something about the codec? Not to sure what this means. I recorded in AVCHD if that makes a difference.  If anyone could help that would be great! Thanks!

Adding to what other posters said one important thing missing: to the best of my knowledge AVCHD defines the container format as well as the video and audio codecs. The video codec is H.264.
From my own experience I know that Microsoft's so-called media player doesn't really work with H.264. Especially when using any higher bitrate as AVCHD does, many media players freak out. The same happens with high-bitrate mp4 and mov containers with H.264 streams inside them. Think GoPro Protune H.264 footage.
VLC seems to work, but you may experience playback issues. Xine has no problems ... but doesn't run on Windows.
Funnily, my Samsung Note 10.1 2014 plays back any high-bitrate H.264 footage up to 45Mbit/s without any problems, even in hardware. On the other end, my Samsung TV chokes on the same footage.
In my own experience, AVCHD should be seen as kind of raw file to be used solely as input to video editors, but not useful for direct viewing. Transcode to lower bitrate footage if you want to watch your footage on Windows, low power tablets and phones, as well as TVs.

    Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one.  Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

    How do I fix issue with computer not authorized yet when I go to I-Tunes to authorized it indicated already authorized?

    I updated to iOS 5.0.1 days ago and didn't receive that notification until just now...
    This time I synced new photos I took yesterday, and it gave me the:
    "iTunes Sync: 54 items could not be synced. See iTunes for more information"
    Perhaps it kicks off when new items get synced.
    I've decided to rent a movie yesterday. Once it gets deleted, I'm curious to see if it jumps to 55 items.

    your going to have to put the ipod into recovery mode and restore the device. Unfortunatly you will lose all the info on the device after the restore but if you have a backup for the device in itunes you will be able to get all the info back if no backup is on itunes all info will be lost you can find the backups on in itunes under the   edit>
    preferences>devices and check for the backup
    to put the ipod into recovery mode disconnect the ipod from the computer
    power down the ipod
    press and hold the home button than plug the device in and the itunes should give a message that states
    itunes has detected an ipod in recovery mode and must first be restored before it can be used
    than click the restore option in the summary page and issue resolved

    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

  • I have a WD 2 tb hard drive that I want to use to back up my Mac Pro quad core.  How do I create a back up startup disk?  Also, when I used Time macine, it only backed up users and not the system or library folders.  Ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
    If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:

  • Recovery discs: says not the right model when trying to install

    Hi I have a real problem.I have a 1330n Media center desktop. I never had to use the system recovery discs before. I bought this PC new from Circuit City when they were in business.      A little info.
    A few years ago HP sent me the full set of recovery discs after the courts made them supply owners with a physical set of discs and not the hard drive partition like they supplied. I never used these. I do have my system backed up with Retrospect and if I ever had an issue I always relied on that.
    I just got a trojan that hit everything even the recovery partition. I needed to format and go from scratch. I knew I had these recovery discs so I was not afraid to try different methods of recovery. I was told by the anti virus people AVG to install from a Win XP disc and format the hd and start there. The discs I have from HP do not work as AVG said so I went to my Retrospect back up restore cd. It brings up my restore shell but fails to show the external drive where my back up resides. I now have only one choice my HP recovery discs. I tried to use them and they say not the right model.
    What do I do now? I need to get this up so I can restore my retrospect backup.
    Any suggestions?

    Read the section "Error: These PC recovery discs do NOT support this PC model" in the troubleshooting recovery in Windows XP web page. Try these steps and/or verify everything is correct.

  • Need help finding the right codec to play QT files

    Like many others who have posted, all the quicktime files on my drive have turned to black. Previously when I opened the file, I saw picture and sound. Now every single file has only audio, but the picture is black.
    I am operation on Mac O.S. 10.4.11. I am using Quicktime Pro 7.5. I have been trying to fix this problem for a month now. Many people have suggested I need to find the right codec, but so far I have not found it. I have tried: A52codec.component, AC3codec, MacOS 8.x, 9.1.x, Apple Intermediate Codec.com, Apple MPEG2.codec.component, Avilmporter-r7.component, DivX Decoder.component, DivX Encoder.component, DivX Pro 6.8.0.19 + keymaker, EnsharpEncoderMacOsX.cmg, Fbx 20091quicktime_macemu.pkg.tar, Fbx QT.pkg, Flipsformac, WMV Advanced.component, Flipsformac WMV Advanced Exports.component, Flipsformac WMV Import.component, IMXCodec.component, LAAME Universal Installer.mpkg, LAAMEncoder.component, QSSP_2.1.dmg, QSXEssentials.component, QSXEssentials.dmg, QTFvx.component, Red Quicktime Codec v3.1.pkg, Red Code iedcod.qt.component, Spectrograph.component, TSCC.component xiphqt.component, XviD_codec-r58.component, XviDELEGATE.component
    Nothing worked!
    I also tried to install Perian. This did not work.
    What should I do? Should I re-install my operating system and start over? About a month ago, all the video clips played just fine. Is there any solution?
    Thanks

    Hi Wangerer!
    I haven't even heard of half of those! You may have reached overkill on codecs!
    Get rid of some of them and read this:
    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.1, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11.
    Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.11 and have Quicktime 7.4 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
    Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
    and then the latest version obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    and installed.
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
    In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-004. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
    Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
    Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
    Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
    You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
    There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
    On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
    On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
    And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
    http://silverlight.net/
    So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
    http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
    FOOTNOTE
    If you are running Leopard:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

  • C4680 says 60XL black cartridge is not the right one. It is a refill. Why is it rejected

    C4680 all-in-one says my 60XL black cartridge is not the right one. It is a refill but should work. Why is it rejected?

    Hi paulprinter,
    I understand you have a Photosmart C4680 that is rejecting your black cartridge that has been refilled. I'm sorry to hear this has been happening, but will certainly do my best to help!
    Because the cartridge is refilled, the printer may not accept it. There are definitely still a few things you can try though before having to look into buying another HP cartridge. Please have a look through this 'Cartridge Problem,' 'Cartridge Failed,' or 'Incompatible Cartridge' Message Displays on the Compute... document and hopefully these cleaning steps will assist the printer in accepting the refilled cartridge. I would also recommend, if you can, to plug the printer directly to a wall outlet to ensure it has enough power to function properly.
    Hope this helps, have a great day!!
