How to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition

I've installed QT Pro, but am not able to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition (MCE). Under "My Videos" from the MCE main interface, I can see the files, but once selected, error message indicates unknown/unplayable file type.
How do I get my MOV files to play inside Windows MCE??

I don't use MSI's MC application so I can't directly answer your question.
However both Win DVD 6 and PowerDVD6 play them just fine by launching the ts.ifo file.
Yes, I know that, but that means that I should use at least two applications. I need only one front end to launch all my media files, inluding ripped DVD files, not as separate VOBs but as whole movies decribed in IFO files.

  • MuVo V200 - Need advice on how to play recorded files using Windows Media Pla

    Hi
    I bought a V200.
    Transferred the recorded audios to my hard disk but can't get windows media player to play it. Error message of: codecs needed.
    It was recorded as a WAV file.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.

    Apparently you are committed to certain hardware.  There is no question that the SSD should be installed in the current HDD bay.  Should you choose to have a second HDD, it should be installed in place of the DVD drive.  Note that some early 2011 MBPs had SATAII connections to the DVD drive and some had SATAIII connections (presumably later production models).
    I do not run Windows on my MBPs but I do know that parallels is a resource hog.  On that basis, I suspect that it should be installed on the SSD where you can take advantage of the faster processing.  The SSD will be electrically more efficient than than a HDD.  If you have concerns about battery run time, then do not install the HDD in place of the DVD drive.  I do not know if there are third party applications that allow user intervention for controlling a HDD in the DVD bay.  You might search for same.  If there is, then the argument of installing it there becomes a stronger one.
    You will have to assess your own work flows to determine what impact it has on the configuration options.  Since I do not know them, I cannot comment on that.
    Ciao.

  • How to play IFO files in MSI Media Center III?

    Read the topic. We all can play avi, mpg, mpeg and other file types, but is there a way to play DVD files from a HD? MSI Media Center III recognizes the VOB's as separate files, not as w whole movie. I see no IFO support in MSI Media Center III, or maybe I'm wrong... Anybody know how to solve this issue?

  • Why won't Quicktime 7.4.1 play .wmv files when Windows Media Player will?

    I am running OS 10.4.11 on a Power Mac G4 Quicksilver 2002. When I try to play .wmv files, the following message appears: "The movie could not be opened. The file is not a movie file." However, I can play such files using Windows Media Player. I have installed Quicktime 7.4.1. That hasn't helped.

    Thanks for the suggestions, but I already had Flip4Mac installed. However, I re-installed it, but I get the same disappointing message when I try to open .wmv files from Flip4Mac's "Quicktime Player." Perian doesn't work either. At http://lifehacker.com/software/quicktime/download-of-the-day-perian-mac-204423.p hp I read the following: Perian is a freeware plug-in designed to enable the playback of almost every popular video codec in Quicktime.
    In fact, pretty much the only major codec not supported by Perian is Windows Media Video files (WMV), but previously-mentioned Flip4Mac should take care of your WMV needs.
    I'd appreciate additional comments and suggestions.

  • Apple 23" Cinema Display not supported by Windows Media Center Edition PC

    Well I'm learning the hard way and of course that is through experience. I just found out after purchasing my 23"Apple Display and talking to the Apple Support Tech is that Apple does not support the Cinema Display with PC's,
    Wish Apple would be more transparent on this issue prior to a costly purchase. For example on the Apple site listing the Display in system requirements:
    Windows PC and graphics card that supports DVI ports with full single-link digital bandwidth and VESA DDC standard for plug and play setup
    Well I have a Windows PC with a Nvidia Graphics card just as the system requirements state. Yet my PC will not adjust to proper resolution for the Apple Display. The graphics card works fine. Its a driver issue where the Apple Display is not compatible with Window Media Center Edition on Windows PC's
    So in conclusion the system requirements for Windows PC's that Apple is stating For Apple Cinema Displays is not correct. The system requirements need also to state that the Apple Cinema Display does not work with Windows Media Center Edition (MCE)
    Hope that helps for any users with Windows Media Center Edition thinking or already have purchased an Apple Cinema Display.

    Well,
    Here is the latest from Nvidia Customer Care educating users on the DVI port on the Nvidia GeForce FX 5200:
    "...The basic difference you will see in these ports are in their Physical appearance. The DVI-D has less pins compared to the DVI-I port connector. Also the Apple 23" Cinema Display will work at a resolution of 1920*1200. But this graphics card that is Geforce FX 5200 will not support this resolution of 1920*1200. It will support only till 1600*1200. So that's the reason you were having the issues were you were not able to adjust the resolution"
    So I ask, which Nvidia GPU card can I substitute for the current one at a reasonable price? I don't need dual link, so single link would be sufficient for my application . Here is some more helpful tips from Nvidia support. Hope this helps other users, utilizing the Apple 23" Cinema Display"
    "...go for a Geforce 7600 GS graphics card which is a AGP 8x compatible graphics card. This graphics card is just 129$ graphics card. Please visit the given link to know about the details of this graphics card."
    http://bfgtech.com/7600GS_512.html
    And now for the final conclusion of what you need to know regarding DVI ports. Evidently Nvidia uses a term called normal DVI port. I've never heard of that term in the literature in shopping for a graphics card and checking the specs. I guess you need to look for the specific term single or dual link specifically. If it doesn't say that, then what I can gather it is a normal DVI port...whatever the heck that is?
    "...Yes let me inform you that the Geforce FX 5200 graphics card does have one DVI port and one VGA port. But these single link and Dual link DVI port is totally different compared to the normal DVI ports. As you wanted to connect an Apple 23" Cinema Display to this graphics card. So for this you will need to have a graphics card which will have a Single link or Dual link DVI ports not the normal ports. So to support an Apple 23" Cinema Display, you will need to have either a Geforce 6 series or the Geforce 7 series graphics card. That's the reason I gave you the list of graphics card which comes with Single or Dual link DVI ports, not the normal ports."
    Oh well off to the market to pick up either a Series 6 or Series 7 Nvidia Graphics card. The Nvidia Customer Care team was very helpful and replied to my inquires very quickly through email.
    Hope this long drawn out expose helps others who might have issue with connecting their proud Apple 23' Cinema Display to their PC
    Kind Regards,

  • Windows media center edition on mega pc ?

    hi,
    Is it possible to hae windows media center edition running on the mega pc with everything functionning like tuner, remote control within the media center ?
    Thanks,

    Well if you want my opinion mega center iii disappoints quite a lot so far! Last weekend I had some time writing a test report. I have been testing the megapc just on a regular TV. Initially it worked satisfactory since I was able to change the resulution to 512x384x16bits. This resolution is convenient to read text on an ordinary PAL-TV.
    I won't get in to details concerning the remote control, since often it does not work properly and many people reported that already ... Using MC-III's TV option to record from a set top box might drive you nuts, sometimes for some reason the record function falls back to TV (instead of Composite). Even worse it occurs that winxp freezes when you want to quit recording, also if you end a scheduled recording it is impossible to delete this record until the instructed recording time is over. Let's say if you schedule a program at 01:00am till 03:00am and you cancel the recording process at 01:50am you are unable to reschedule a program till 03:00am, it works when you record instantly otherwise the error "Cannot modify/running or end schedule!" appears). IF you succeeded recording video with MCIII it is a hassle to erase it again via MCIII's menu .. There's an option to delete recorded programs, but for me it didn't (and does) not work, I have to erase it manually from the standard 'My videos'-folder .
    Another feature in MCIII is to put your PC in standby mode, now imagine you have scheduled a record session at 01.00am and at 11.00pm you decide to put the mega180 in stand by mode .. Using a regular video or dvd recorder would start up and records at 01.00am . megapc remains silent .  Another disappointment .. One more to end this story and it concerns viewing a DVD via MC III .. Since I have my resolution set at 512x386x16bits watching DVD's in MCIII is quite funny since people are rather stretched up ( :-) ), also lots of hickups, I could not believe my eyes and I decided to start up MediaPlayer 9 and all issues were resolved, so I was able to to watch a smooth and non bumby screen. Therefore I am really hoping that the mega180pc will be supported one day by winxp media center. Unfortunately I was not able to run the 2004 version, even after upgrading an earlier release .. The media center does install but of course the remote does not work at all .. Well I agree, it often does not work either using mega center III ;-D. Don't get me wrong, megapc is a good product but a lot of programming and adjustments need to be done.
    Here's my config: megapc180, wd250gb (8mb cache), 2x512Mb Kingston 333, AMD3000+, msi tv@master, msi burner 8a...

  • How to convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to play in iTunes

    How do I convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to now play in iTunes?

    Use Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings to set your desired import format and bitrate. Note there is no point converting 128k wma into 320k mp3, you'll just get bigger files with no improvement in quality. Once you have set your import settings just drag & drop the files you want converted into iTunes.

  • Is there a way to move files from Windows Media player to Itunes?

    I have a lot of files in windows media player from Walmart.com. Is there any way to move these into my itunes library to sync onto the Nano?

  • Trouble playing .mov files in windows

    I used iMovie 08 on a Mac to import some videos from a Sony AVCHD camera. It created a .mov file for each clip (veery heavy ones, though short). They can be seen perfectly on a Mac, but in my PC Quicktime tells me i need to download some codec, and I dont know which one. I have lots of codecs though. What do i need to play the files in Windows?
    Thanks

    it never gave me any options. when importing the video from the camera i cant choose which codec to use. anyway, i no longer have access to the mac i used. Im stuck with the files in my pc and cant read them.

  • How to play movie file using java tv

    hi,
    i am trying to play movie file(.mov or mpg or mp3) using java tv in linux plotform and also using jmf jar.
    problem is while running appear black screen and getting exception or errors like
    Unable to handle format: ima4, 480x320, FrameRate=25.0, Length=460800 0 extra bytes
    Thank in adv

    Well...
    I don't know how to load and play a video with JavaTV. But I've seen some posts telling that .mpg files aren't accepted by the JavaTV.
    Some people said that I had to use .avi files and these .avi files, if they were converted from a .mpg file, must had been converted with the Cinepack technology, but I don't know how to do this.
    If you find out how to load and play a video, I'd like to know, please send me an email or access my page and post there in the comments, so I can continue doing my application with a video.

  • How to play .wma and other Windows Media Player-format files/videos on Mac?

    Hi again,
    I will be asking stupid questions as I'm a newbie to Mac, so please bear with me. There are some video format that QuickTime player doesn't play e.g. .wma files. I tried a couple of times to download Windows Media Player for Mac but it doesn't install on my Mac! Do I require a software similar to Zipfile or does Mac has it all build in?
    PS - What is the coequal of "delete" button here in Mac (keyboard)?

    Download and install Flip4Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to play Windows Media files via Quicktime. Also get Perian to provide additional codecs for other video formats.
    The Delete key is on the keyboard next to the "=" key.
