HT3678 cant get my MAC to play videos taken from my phone or my new DSL camera

Ive taken videos from both my iphone and my new dsl camera and cannot play the movies on my MAC. Any suggestions?? thanks..

Try installing Perian.  It's a library of codecs for QuickTime.  These codecs allow QT to read a wider range of file types.
www.perian.org
Or, install an alternative media player.  VLC is a good option.  www.videolan.org/vlc/download-mac osx.html
If that doesn't work you may need to convert the files. 
iPhone movies can be converted within iTunes.  Add the iPhone movie to your libary, select the file, go to File ➡ Create New Version ➡ Create AAC Version
Movies from your camera can be converted with a program called handbrake.  www.handbrake.fr Open the file in the program.  Then, select presets. then select from the availale options.
Converting movies is extremely labor intensive. Expect it to take 1-5 minutes per minute of footage being converted. 
Hope this helps

  • After iOS 8, no sound when playing video taken from the back camera..

    I have an iPhone 5, everything was fine before the update, but after ios 8, when i record a video from the back camera only, it plays no sound.  The front camera works fine, sound and picture are perfect during playback, back camera just picture, no sound..  Anyone else have a similar issue?

    We are discussing this over here: iPhone 6 video recording without sound.

  • I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen

    I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen
    Whenever, I have pages open or any other app I press the home button twice, and then I swipe to the right and obtain the menu that allows me to alter brightness or sound. At this point I press play and nothing works. However, once I go back to my youtube page, and press the play button then it works. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    just click the serial number in itunes ... geeze... just kidding
    you might be able to find it on the mac...
    in finder do your username under places then library then application support then MobileSync then Backups
    the shortest folder name should be the UDID
    of course that assumes it ever made a backup...
    if it made more than one there will be some -date-blah on the end...

    Have you contacted app support or maybe view this video from the website? Are you trying to play them within the app itself? Did you double tap on the video that you want to watch?

  • I cant get my Mac Book to connect to my Apple tv

    I cant get my Mac Book to connect to my Apple TV.  My Ipad and Ipone connect just fine.
    The Icon that should be at the top of my desktop is not there and the Apple tv mirrioring option in the Display system pref is not avalible
    Any sugestions would be great.

    If you´ve already verified if your Mac is able to connect to Airplay (note, Mountain Lion is not the point, but your Hardware is)
    try to note this?
    1. both are connected through the same wifi?
    2. you´ve entered the Apple TV with the same Home Sharing (Apple ID) active?
    * I mean, both Mac and Apple TV must be configured with the same Apple ID, and Home Sharing should be turned on in your iTunes.

  • How do I play Video taken with Fascinate on my PC?

    Can anyone help me out on this? I've downloaded multiple players who all support MP4 and can only hear the audio portion of videos taken by my phone. Downloaded V Cast Media Manger and experienced the same issue. I can view the video on my phone but the file is too large to e-m or text. When I download it to my PC I get the Icon, thumbnail, and audio but no video. If I'm making a simple mistake please let me know.  

    Well, I have a Mac and for me to play the videos I have to mount the SD card
    Copy the files to my Mac by opening the SD volume and draging the files to wherever I want to put them.
    Usually a folder I created called Fascinate Movies
    Then I can open them in Quick Time and trim or edit with QT Pro.
    I can also RE-Save them as QT movies and then edit in iMovie or iDVD or any other editing program you may have.
    Hope this helps.
    BTW: I haven't a clue about WinDoZe  But, the process is probably similar.

  • When I play video clips from websites like Prescreen the sound is loud enough to hear w/out headphones.  When I play my own professionally mastered video I have to wear head phones to hear loud enough.  Is there a trick in Compressor or other software?

     The Nokia 3720 classic is a IP54 level water,
    Not even close to good enough, LCD screen will crack, water will go in through the jack/charger ports..
    The phone i describe has no external ports just 4-5 little pins which can't let water in or out of the device, the docking station will connect via these 4 - 5 pins for data transfer and recharging...., IPX8 standard, all the electronics are epxoyed with a glue to stop real bad shocks from drops and bangs, along with a silicon case and all the other preventative meausres means this little phone is going to outlive you.
    in combination with heart rate external bluetooth connection, really what more could you want... only the Sonim comes close in terms of perfection but if it managed to pack all of above, then it would be simply wow... I don't think there's enough people who work for nokia who actually go camping, backpacking, hiking, i'm pretty sure that if i told them one day
    on a holiday you might drop your phone into the swimming pool, ok fine it's a mistake but damn, there goes your $$$$ N7 or N900 or even a HTC or Iphone.... not this, you'd yell to the first person you see in the pool, hey mate can i have my phone back, don't worry about the water damage, i'll get it back on insurance after a small lie stopping the person from running off with it (in fear of the now useless mobile phoned killed by water, making an attempt to steal be useless) 
    The person gets their phone back and carries on about his day, it drops out of your pocket, how many times you ran over it because you happened to leave it behind the back tire. oh no i ran over my phone, the tough casing and the epoxy keeping it nice and safe, except for superficial damage cosmetic, the screen and phone should be working still able to make that call or send out GPS info....
    Sorry nothing comes close by any company (except Sonim) in terms of what they can do... maybe even a portable charger turn it to recharge like on LED dynamos. nah maybe not.

    You need a PC or MAC with iTunes installed on it to achieve this AS IT SAYS IN THE DOCUMENT

  • Why I cannot play video clips from Google news page? It is only a white box without video when video icon is tauched!

    Why I cannot play video clips from Google News page?

    It looks,like the videos on the web page are flash, which will not play on the pad.  That is why the made an app. Go to the store and get the free google news app.  It is laid out a little different, but any videos in it will play.

  • How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)

    How do I get my ipod to play a playlist from reverse order? (Start with recently added song instead of first added)
    So I'm adding new songs to a very old playlist? Is there anyway that when I add them, they automatically go to top of playlist? How about getting one song to the top of a playlist.  That drag to arrange function is very annoying because it is slow and the playlist does not scroll up very well on a PC.

    Make a new playlist by pressing the little plus button at the very lower left corner of iTunes. An new playlist will appear in the Source pane called "untitled playlist". While the name is highlighted, you can change it to whatever you want. Drag all of the tracks from all the albums that comprise a single book to that playlist. Sync that playlist to your iPod.

  • Toshiba 40SL733g - How to play video files from USB flash memory

    When I plug my USB flash memory in USB port, Media Player menu shows up with two options : Photos and Settings.
    How do I make my TV recognize and play video files from USB flash memory?
    Flash is on FAT32.
    I have tried to play avi, mp4 and mkv files but nothing happens. It looks like flash is empty.
    Could you please help me solve this problem.
    Thanks!

    bzunic, have you updated the firmware for your model?.
    With my own set, (32RL900A), the instruction manual said that certain buttons on the remote control were "unused", however, after the first firmware update, the previously "unused" buttons were used, (In our case, Time Shift, Record, and so on).
    The reason I talk about this is, these features became available after a firmware upgrade, and were not mentioned in the user manual, in our case, and a later download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave the instructions for the use of these features, which were shown as "not available", in the original instruction manual supplied with the TV, but became available after the firmware upgrade.
    Let us know how it all works out ............

  • Why won't iTunes 10.3 play video shared from iTunes 10.2

    Hi all.
    I upgraded iTunes 10.2 to iTunes 10.3, both running under Leopard on an Core 2 Duo iMac. iTunes 10.3 will now not play video shared from another iTunes 10.2 instance running under Snow Leopard elsewhere on my network. It'll play the audio from those video files, but not the moving images.
    This all worked fine when I had iTunes 10.2 running under Leopard; and the video in question shares fine from 10.2/Snow Leopard to, say, my iPod Touch.
    Any thoughts?

    Have upgraded to 10.3.1, with no improvement.
    Have also noticed that this behaviour is only exhibited when trying to play shared content in a separate window: play it in the iTunes window, and it works fine.
