How to reference/play video from the MicroSD card

I am developing an interactive video application using AIR on Android and need to store media on an external MicroSD card.  How do I access that file location in AIR?  I have tried:
/mnt/Removable/MicroSD/
/mnt/external1/
etc. 
Is there code similar to:
var myFile:File = File.documentsDirectory.resolvePath("Test Folder/test.txt");
That would allow me to reference the external storage?

OK...I am highly confused.  And I think you are a bit confused too...adding to the confusion.
Log and CAPTURE is for capturing from tape. If you aren't capturing from tape...but rather an SD card...do not use Log and CAPTURE.  Tapeless capture uses log and TRANFER.  That's what I mention in that tutorial. 
>How do I set up the preferences so that I get the capture window that shows the clips that I can import (capture) from my SD card?
Watch the video again. You open Log and Transfer...click on the folder icon on the upper left...and then navigate to the backup of the card you make.  The FIRST step is to back up that card.  Then you use L&T...and direct it to the root level of the backup folder.  You click OK and all the clips in that folder will appear in the Log and Transfer window.
>I keep getting prompted with a message that my HDV deck is not connected.
Because you are opening Log and CAPTURE.  Again...log and transfer is what you want.
>I'm just trying to have my video be captured wirelessly from the SD card into FCP.
Sorry, you can't do that. You cannot do this wirelessly. You need to connect the camera to the computer with a wire...typically USB.  OR...you take the SD card out and either use an SD card reader connected to the computer via a cable (USB), or if you have a laptop with an SD card slot...well then, that would be wireless. Just slap the card into the computer and watch it show up on the desktop.  Then back up the footage, then Log and Transfer.
>It's got to do something with setting it up in wither Easy Setup menu or one of the others.
No. You do not need to use the Easy Setups. That is for tape capture. You determine what codec you will be converting to in the Log and Transfer preferences. Watch the video again...I explain this thoroughly.

    How do I play videos from an SD_Video card?

    Click on the SD card that appears on your desktop until you get to the DCIM folder.  Click on folder until you get to the movie files.  Drag these files onto your desktop.  You can erase the ones on your SD card if you do not want to same them on there.
    Depending on the movie file types you should be able to play them w/either QT 10, QT 7.x or VLC.  It helps to have Perian installed.
    Also, helps if you would advise us which OS is installed on your MBP and which model MBP you have.  Some come w/a built-in SD slot, others you will need a card reader.

  • How do you play videos from the "Videos" app in the background IPod 4G

    Hey
    I used to have an app which allowed me to play videos from the "Videos" app on my ipod touch 4th gen. But the other day I had to wipe my ipod and can no longer get this app. Is there any other app which imports your videos from the "videos" app or is there a way to play videos in the background using the "videos" app.
    Anny help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Karl

    You can only play videos in the Videos app when the Video app is on the screen. Video, and any audio with it, do not play when using another app.
    You can try changing the Media Kind in Get Info>Option in iTunes on the computer to Music Video and see if that works

  • How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    How do I play video from my macbook pro to my tv?

    What model MacBook Pro do you have? On my late 2011, I used to use a Mini DisplayPort/Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter to get video and audio from my Mac to my television. I used this adapter from Monoprice. Worked great - I just no longer use it because I bought a 27" monitor.
    You can also use AirPlay mirroring if you've the right MBP and an Apple TV - but the wired method works, too.

    You can use SnapZ Pro X, which will screen record with sound any animation on the monitor into a QuickTime file, but it's expensive.
    If you look for Add-ons for Firefox, there are some that download Flash and YouTube videos to a file on your machine.

    You Mac likely will come across sites and content that won't play in Quicktime, on your Mac or in your web browser unless you install additonal codecs

    How to install
    When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
    Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
    OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
    Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
    Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
    Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
    Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

    Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

  • I am using the window xp and firefox 6. I see many videos on youtube. How I get that videos from the catch folder and where is it?

    I am using the window xp and firefox 6.
    I watch the youtube videos online.
    How I get that video from the catch folder and where that catch folder are situated in the window xp.

    ''How can I view or retrieve a video from Firefox's cache''
    To actually view/retrieve the file from the cache and its web address you can use
    the "Cache Viewer" extension 32.8KB
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/cacheviewer/
    * http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#cacheviewer
    For you to be able to view the cached file you would have had to have watched the entire file.
    The latest version of the extension is 0.7b available in all versions you would have to override compatibility by any of these methods
    * checking or pick up one of the xpi versions in the reader comments for Firefox 6.0
    * extensions.checkCompatibility.6.0 set to False
    *: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions.checkCompatibility
    * or with an extension "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" (84.0 KB) seems preferred in this group
    *:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    There are also extensions such as Video downloader 132.8 KB

    What you have stored in iCloud is unrelated to your abiity to download things to your iPad. You need to look at local storage. Settings>General>Usage.

  • N96 only plays videos from the start

    My N96 only plays videos from the start. Whenever I press the 'play from where it stopped' function the sound works okay but the picture isn't there. Also the same problem occurs when I try to fastforward or rewind videos. As you can imagine this is not much use when I'm trying to watch a film in stages.

    Hi,
    iChat will set up a Video chat window that takes in to account your Processor speed and Internet Speed and to some extent the Buddy's speed.
    This then denotes the pixel content of each frame.
    OS X 10.6.x tells me this is iChat 5 which in turn mean you have  at least an Intel Core 2 Duo Processor.
    This should be capable of 30 frames a sec at  about 640 X 480 pixels  (Check the Connection Doctor (Video Menu) and the Statistics tab during a Chat).
    iChat 5 cannot do HD  (Max of 4:3 ratio at the above figures)
    After that it depends how you are recording the chat.
    Quicktime X would do it.
    iChat will do it itself (if the Buddy agrees)

  • Will videos from the SD card be copied to the camera roll

    Will videos from the SD card be copied to the camera roll. I am using the iPad SD card reader, will the videos be copied to the iPad Camera roll

    Yes. You do want to read the manual though, and make sure your camera is shooting a video type that the iPad will play. I know I can with my canon camera, but I know others have had problems.
    What you'll do is import the videos onto your ipad, then when you tap on them to play them it opens the video app and they play

  • How do I play video from photostream on apple TV?

    PhotoStream is now available on my applet TV and the notes on the upgrade said I could play video from my Photo Stream.  However the Photo Stream on the apple TV only presents photos for viewing.  Any idea on how to get it to show my videos?

  • How do I upload videos from an SD card to the movies folder in Finder on my iMac?

    I'm having trouble uploading videos from my SD card to my iMac. I'm wanting to save it in the "Movies" folder in Finder. When I open the SD card on my iMac, I am able to view the videos in QuickTime Player. They were an AVCHD file format. It gave me no option of saving the videos - not even with dragging them. So, I tried moving all of the files versus just one (in other words, instead of opening the file to view all of the videos, I just dragged the whole file without opening it).  It saved to my iMac, but in the same way as it was on the SD card - I wasn't able to actually save the videos themselves. They were only able to be viewed with QuickTime Player - I couldn't do anything else with them. So, I took my SD card out of the computer and put it back in the video camera. I then realized than I could not view the videos in the camera - they wouldn't show up. I then plugged the SD card back into the iMac. The videos were now saved under a BDMV folder versus the AVCHD folder they had been under earlier. The AVCHD folder was there, but would not open. When I tried to open it, all it said was, "This operation could not be completed." The BDMV folder allows me to view the videos in QuickTime Player, but I still cannot save them to my iMac from the SD card. I even tried saving the videos to iPhoto by dragging the BDMV folder into iPhoto. All it did was say, "The following files could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognizable format." So, now, I am completely confused as to what I need to do as to save the videos onto my computer, and even how the videos are now saved under a BDMV folder versus the original AVCHD folder in the SD card. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem. Thanks!

    You should have an icon of the SD card on the desktop - do you? If not, go to Finder Preferences > General and make sure these items are checked to show:
    Once the icon is showing, you can just drag the card content to your desktop. It depends on what you want to do with the video - just watch or edit in iMovie to share online or burn a DVD?

  • Playing videos from the iPhone 4s to a projector - best way...?

    Ok, I want to connect my iPhone 4S to a projector via a HDMI cable. I will be playing a sequence of videos from the iPhone, so need to be able to skip through them when they're done, but WITHOUT any icons showing on the projector screen (if that makes sense! it's in a gig/onstage scenario). What's the best app for me to do this? If I did it in iTunes (under Movies) would the play/pause/forward icons be visible on the projector screen when I skip through to the next video?
