How to setup firefox to play training videos from my hard drive

I have never watched videos, period.
I recently purchased some training videos, they are supposed to work in any browser.
They are SWF videos, I can play them on my SWF player.
They have a menu system when using browser that allows you to go from 1 video to another, or to a specif portion of any video.
My first guess would be to do it off line, but I have about 30 tabbed web pages open all the time.
I am also using Oracle VM, have 32 bit VISTA, and 32bit ubuntu setup on it.
I use firefox in Vista as IE8 crashes all the time.
So I have many options on how to do this if I knew how!!

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

  • 55HT1U LCD TV - how to play home videos from external hard drive

    Hey guys, I'm connecting my external hard drive to my 55HT1U LCD TV via HDMI to watch home movies. The TV is able to recognize the external drive, I'm able to browse folders and see pictures, but the movie files are not recognized! Does anyone know what formats the TV recognizes, or if there is anything I can do to play movies straight from my external? Thanks.

    have been trying this too , the manual says FAT32 files, just my two cents for ya

    How do I save and import my bookmarks from another hard drive? When I try to open the installed Firefox on the old drive, it (obviously) opens a browser from the new main drive, free of bookmarks. Is there a way I can save the bookmarks on the old drive without opening a browser?
    The guts of my computer were rearranged and I got a new main hard drive. My old one is still in there and I can get stuff from it, but when I go to the Mozilla folder on the old one, I can't figure out if there's anything I can do to get all my bookmarks from that drive to my new one, where Firefox is newly installed.

    If you open Firefox then Firefox will always use the default profile folder as found via profiles.ini on your system drive.
    You either need to import the file in your current default profile or copy the file to your current profile folder while Firefox is closed.
    Firefox 3 stores the bookmarks and the browser history in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/places.sqlite places.sqlite] and no longer creates an HTML backup by default.
    There are also (five) JSON backups in the bookmarkbackups folder within the Firefox profile folder.
    You can either copy the file places.sqlite to your [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] or import the most recent JSON backup from the bookmarkbackups folder of that old profile.

    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders.
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    Go to: Control Panel > Folder Options > "View" tab > under "Hidden files and folders", select "Show hidden files and folders".
    You may want to un-check the box "Hide extensions for known file types" to see the file extensions of all files.

  • Importing video from camera hard drive

    How do I import the video from my video camera's hard drive? imovie isn't recognizing the file type. My camera doesn't have any software with it. Do I need to download a certain type of software?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    What with all the new vid cameras going to a HD
    solution (though the other solutions stay around for
    years and years) coupled with MPEG2, I can't imagine
    that Apple wouldn't want to make importing the files
    a bit easier to import into iMovie.
    Thats because the good HD cameras are equipped with Firewire for reasons of economics .....
    Neither HD cameras or straight to DVD machines will give you the quality you get with miniDV tapes. The reason is storage capacity - the cheaper camera's these days sacrifice quality for ease of watching. They don't have to be seen on a large screens and you can't edit them.
    Stick to miniDV or even move up to HD video.
    Think of the size of an iPod Nano - thats 8Gb storage MAX and so has only half the capacity of a DV tape. Double it to 16Gb and thats just over an hour of DV storage - equivalent to one miniDV tape. And it would cost $600-ish vs $5 for a tape.
    Economically, a miniDV format camea is very cost effective for a set quality
    I should ad that Sony also are known for producing technology thats brilliant but incompatible with many other suppliers in an attempt to lock in purchasers.

  • Firefox will not play training videos from BMW university

    I need to use BMW university (ICP) to view training videos. I use Linux (Linux mint 9) and Firefox. I can view them using the computers at work which of course are windows and have internet explorer. I have emailed BMW about this but they seem to be unwilling to change anything. Anyway. I use Adobe flash and Sun Java, the latest versions and have all the correct plugins. Firefox will work on every other site. I tried using Opera but I got an error message saying my Browser doesn't use Dynamic html, so I quit Opera. I love using Firefox and would love to have it work on this site. I can't give you the URL for the site as it is protected and the property of BMW. I don't know what to try to get it working, maybe it will never work, maybe there is proprietary windows stuff built into the site and it just wont work with Linux or Firefox.

    What kind of content is that?<br />
    Are that Flash videos?
    You have the Flash player, so if it is Flash then it should work.
    Which player do you see if you right-click on it in IE ?

  • How do I Play videos from external hard drive on Apple TV2?  Can I just move the iTunes Library to the External Hard Drive?

    I have several HD videos stored on an external hard drive and would like to bring them into iTunes and play them via iTunes on my Apple TV2, but I am not sure how to go about it.  I don't want to store the movies on my iMac hard drive because it would eat up to much space...so do I just move the iTunes Library to the external hard drive?  And, if so...will the Apple TV2 find the iTunes Library on the external hard drive?  Thanks for any help anyone can suggest.

    iTunes content on an external drive isn't a problem.
    The simplest method is to just move your library to an external drive.
    If you wanted to keep just movies on an external drive, that's a little more difficult. You'd need to put the movies where you want them to reside on the external drive and add drag and drop them onto iTunes while holding down the option key. Obviously any movies already in iTunes would need moving from their current location and removing from iTunes first.

  • How to play itunes music from external hard drive

    How do I either play continuous music from my external hard drive, or make itunes recognize my external hard drive as the library.

    Hi Jim
    I've recently upgraded to a macbook Pro and I copied all data, profiles etc across from my old macbook. I have also created a second account in my mackbook Pro. I am able to play my iTunes music from the external HD in the 'old' account, but not in the 'new' account, despite trying what you've said above. On the external HD, there are two folders: iTunes music and iTunes media. I have tried selecting each of these, but both times, I get this message: "An iTunes library file could not be found in the folder "iTunes Media". Please choose a different folder." ... Please can you help?
    Many thanks in advance!

  • Importing video from Sony Hard Drive Camcorder to Powerbook G4 17"

    After some work, I have found that I must use both QuickTime and MPegStreamclip to import both video and sound. However, once the transfer is complete I notice in playback that when the suject moves quickly the edges appear jagged and unclear around the body movement. How can I correct this?
    The camcorder does not use firewire only USB transfer or AV. The video is beautiful except for this.
    Camcorder: Sony DCR-SR100 30gb Hard drive
    Powerbook: G4 17" 1.5GHz, 1gb ddr sddram
    Someone please help.
    Powerbook G4 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    The only thing that I can think of is purchasing a video capture box such as a Formac Studio DV and plugging the camcorder into the Formac using AV output cables and then importing through the Formac's firewire port. Does that make sense?

  • How can I transfer part of iPhoto files from my hard drive of iMac to free up  my hard drive which is 95% full

    My IMAC 24" Early 2008, with Hard Drive of 500 is running out of Memory, down to 25 MGHz. Since I have large collection of photographs in my IPhoto, with fair numbers in raw forms, I presume most of the memory is taken by them. I am unable to find weather that is the cause of low memory, and if it is so,  how can I transfer part of them into external hard drive to free up the space. Help into yhe matter will be appreciated. Thanks

    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do i restory my entire itunes library from the hard drive of a new laptop to itunes?

    I recently got a new laptop and would like to transfer my itunes from the old to the new. I backed up the itunes library to an external hard drive, and have transferred it to the hard drive of the new laptop (I haven't deleted the library from the old laptop). I am operating on windows. I am now stuck and can't seem to restore my entire itunes library to itunes. The items purchased from the itunes store are in the library on the new laptop, but the rest of my music is not. How do I restore it to my itunes library? I have tried opening itunes while holding down shift and selecting "choose library" option, but when I select the itunes folder, it doesn't appear in the library.
    help?!

    Hello ggjsa,
    Congratulations on your new laptop!  I understand that you have copied your old iTunes Library to your new computer, but you are still not seeing the music.  I recommend reviewing Part 5 in the section titled "External drive" in the following article:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    If you are still having trouble transferring the library using this method, you may want to try using the Home Sharing method in the article. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I need to figure out how to tell Organizer that photos have moved from one hard drive to another

    I have PSE 10 on my laptop and used Organizer to tag and view images on my laptop and on my PC via a wireless network.  My PC died but I had all the photos backed up on an external hard drive.  I want to tell Organizer to look for those photos (hundreds of them) on my external hard drive instead of trying to find them on the PC drive.  Any idea how to do this?

    If you have recovered your catalog folder, which was probably on your C: drive, you can try to reconnect:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/333/333358.html
    However, you have probably lost your catalog, so your only solution is to import your files again in a new empty catalog. If you had 'written metadata to files', you'll recover tags and ratings, but not albums, stacks or version sets.

  • Will Imovie 08 allow me to edit video from a hard drive based video camera?

    I'm a new mac user, a recent convert from a PC. I love it!
    I've read and heard conflicting information about hard drive based video recorders. I currently use a tape system and it gets on my nerves. I never re-use the saved taped info and usually overwrite the tapes anyway.
    I would really like to buy a hard drive based recorder because I like the idea of not having to spend 2 hours importing a 2 hour video. But I've heard that on my new mac that I would not be able to edit the video once I've imported it. I've heard that marketing material reads that imovie "supports hdd video" but that this means it will import only, no editing.
    Where can I find out what is correct? Any advice?
    Thanks.

    Actually editing your imported content from a HDD camera is not a problem at all. Importing it in the first place seems to cause one or two problems for some, but providing you get a compatible camera you should have no problem at all. I have a Sony HDR-SR8 and have no problems at all with imovie, whichever camera you are considering just make sure it works with imovie. Post your choices on these forums and someone with the same camera will share their experience with you.
