  • Itunes does not work when I want to play Mp4 videos with most recent versions

    When I want to play videos with mp4 format on itunes, it does not do anything and I have to close itunes with the windows system manager. Does any one know how to solve this problem? I did not have this isue with 10.5 and previous versions of itunes.

    I found the solution, the problem was the encoding of the configuration files.
    I put:
    => Encoding: UTF8 without signature
    => line endings: UNIX(LF)
    And now it works :)

  • How can I play different videos with only one MediaPlayer?

    I want to play two videos with only one MediaPlayer:
    private static MediaPlayerBuilder mpB;
    private static Media mLogo;
    private static Media mSaludo;
    private static MediaPlayer mpLogo;
    private static MediaView mvLogo;
    private static Group gLogo;
    public void start(final Stage stage) {
    mLogo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOLOGO_PATH)).build();
    mSaludo = MediaBuilder.create().source(myGetResource(VIDEOSALUDO_PATH)).build();
    mpB = MediaPlayerBuilder.create();
    mpLogo = mpB.media(mLogo).build();
    mvLogo = MediaViewBuilder.create().mediaPlayer(mpLogo).build();
    gLogo.getChildren().add(mvLogo);
    sActual = new Scene(gPozos, WIDTH, HEIGHT, Color.BLACK);
    stage.setScene(sActual);
    stage.show();When I want to play mLogo:
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();Then, when I want to play mSaludo I do this:
    mpLogo = mpB.media(mSaludo).build();
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();or this:
    mpB.media(mSaludo).applyTo(mpLogo);
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();or this:
    mpB.media(mSaludo);
    sActual.setRoot(gLogo);
    mpLogo.play();But is impossible to change the Media. It doesn't work. Sometimes I play mLogo video and sometimes (depends on the code) the video mLogo doesn't start and I see an image of the first keyframe and nothing else. I have no exceptions, no errors, nothing.
    I want to play mLogo and then mSaludo. How can I do this?
    Thanks

    Ok, I understand, if I have 100 videos I have to build 100 MediaPlayers but only one MediaView.
    Here I post my code with only two videos, I included all the asynchronous errors.

    Just as of late I noticed that Apple Stores are selling security cameras that work with their app on an iPhone. Very expensive but it uses both WiFi when local and cellular when not at home.
    In your case I would check the apple store and see if there is a free or paid app to access your home closed circuit TV system. The cameras have to have their own ip address so you then need only enter that and access will be available to you. But they must be on your home network.
    a lot of the higher end CCTV systems have a free app that can be used like the new Apple Security system.
    Just Google it or check the store.
    Good Luck

  • When I play any video with any player, it stops after few minutes

    When I want to play any video it stops after few minutes as freeze. Sometimes it continues without sound and others stops completly. I try to play it with more than one players, but same.
    The video it's .mkv
    I tried with:
    - Quicktime X with Perian
      - MplayerX
      - Mplayer OS X Extended

    You should probably take it to the closest apple retail store and have someone at the genuis bar help you. If you dont want to do that you should probably purchase a software or use a free trail version of one to run a virus check.Ive found that Mcfee is a good virus scan program.

  • My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
    The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
    As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
    1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
    2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
    Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

  • On Windows 7, Itunes 64-bit is playing all videos with a green overlay

    On Windows 7, Itunes 64-bit is playing all videos with a green overlay. You can see the video, but it's all green-scale (like grey-scale, only green). I've tried setting the Quicktime Direct3D options per Apple knowledge base articles, but to no avail... Windows 7 is all up to date, and I have the latest video drivers installed.
    The videos play perfectly in Quicktime (32-bit; I guess there isn't a 64-bit Quicktime?).
    Here's a screenshot:
    I'd love to get this fixed; it's really baffling and annoying.

    I had the same problem and surfed around the internet like a maniac. Finally, after several re-openings and re-installs of iTunes, I tried to log on to my account through the "Genius" - which I could. After that I have not had any problems to go to the Store!
    Hope it works for you too!

    When I want to play a video, it asks me to download the latest Adobe Flash player, and the iPad won't do that.

    The iPad doesn't and never will support the Flash program. You will need to download and install a different browser like the aforementioned Skyfire. Photon and Puffin are also mentioned as browsers that support Flash. Or see if the place you're accessing that video from has an app.

  • How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

    How do I import movies with an AVI format taken with a digital SLR?

    If you cannot import using File Menu > Import Movies... You'll have to convert them on a Mac.
    You will need to use a free app called MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5.
    Basically, you drag the .mts file into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your codec. And it will save out to a .mov file and iMovie will edit this format like there was no tomorrow

  • Can I rotate a playing FLV video with ActionScript?

    Hello,
    I have some ActionScript 3 already written. It'd be weird to
    explain why I'd want to do this, but basically, I'm playing an FLV
    file with the FLV Playback ActionScript. I want to rotate the video
    itself as it is playing. It needs to rotate 90-degrees over 15
    seconds, (6 frames/sec) and stop.
    I tried putting the FLV component in a movie clip, and
    tweening the rotation on the FLV component. Then my AS3 event
    listener calls a "container_mc.play()", but appears to do nothing
    to the FLV. I also tweened a basic shape in the same container and
    that visibly rotates, so I'm sure the AS3 is correct.
    Also, I'm triggering the rotation by events, not button
    presses or mouse actions.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Yep better ask in the Premeire Pro forums, but while loading their forum page check the cutter tool (C) it will allow you to cut your footage

    and now I want to play a local video.
    Anybody knows how to do this?

  • Don´t want to play music videos automatically when playing a Single

    I´m using iTunes 11.
    Its very annoying that iTunes plays music videos automatically when I´m listening to a single I bought on iTunes Store which includes a music video.  I don´t have a problem with it when the video appears in my music library, but I don´t want to watch it when I only want to hear music and iTunes is minimized.
    I could create a playlist, but I don´t want to because for two tracks it´s worthless.
    So does anyone have a workaround for this issue?`
    Greets

    When in iTunes, click on file, then preferences. See the "general" tab. There is a drop down menu "When you insert a CD". What are your settings there ?
