You can install Perian, or otherwise download and use VLC Player or MPEG Streamclip, all free programs. Installing Perian (which is now open source) and Flip4Mac will enable you to play many other formats of Movies through Quicktime, which I still believe is superior to the other players as it has very powerful editing tools and can do a lot more than just play movies. For just load and play, try VLC player or MPEG Streamclip which again can handle more unusual formats besides the usual ones.

  • HT3775 How do you play MPG videos on the Mac?

    I have a sony vidoe camer which saves videos as MPG files. These are not readable by quicktime, iPhoto or iMovie. How can I convert them to files I can use?

    Thanks QuickTimeKirk,
    . I have downloaded streamclick, but reluctant to shell out $20 unless it is really going to work. The files are MPG not MPEG and MPG is not listed in the file format supported by Streamclick, does it really work?
    I can export to DV MOV and MP4 from streamclick but non of the files is recognised b the Mac. I am running OS 10.7.4.

  • How do you load exs. format files into EXS 24 sampler?

    How do you load EXS24 format files into the EXS24 sampler? the only format I can load directly is aiff and wav. can't find any posts addressing this question? please help

    You don't load them in, you need to put them in:
    *System/users/your user name/library/application support/logic/Sampler instruments*
    Restart Logic if it's running, they will then appear in the EXS library.

  • How do you play MPG and WMV files on a MAC?

    I am no longer able to play MPG and WMV files on my MAC. I have Flip4MAC, which is I think what I used to use to play them (but not sure). All I know is that I used to be able to before but now they won't play. Do I need some sort of different software or has Microsoft started making these files in a way that won't allow MAC users to play them? If anyone is kind enough to help, please explain in the most basic terms as I'm not that computer literate.

    If the .mpg/.mpeg files are non-rights-protected you should be able to play them in Quicktime or iTunes. If the wmv files are non-rights-protected you should be able to use Flip4Mac. If the mpg/mpeg or wmv files are rights-protected you'll need the software or subscription that allows you to view copyrighted files.

  • How do you play a .wav file within Mozilla Firefox 24?

    I tried playing the link in my browser and all I got was a white screen... I can paste the same link into Chrome or Safari and it plays beautifully. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    Hello brandonosborn1, you can do it with your QuickTime Plugin, check if you set the option in Applications panel, see for more info : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/set-how-firefox-handles-different-file-types#os=mac&browser=fx24 Set how Firefox handles different types of files].

  • How do you play a swf file from the desktop

    I have created a swf file using flash. It can be downloaded
    onto the desktop. It is zipped. When unzipped it is called
    yadayada.swf. It does not get associated to the flash player or the
    shockwave flash player which are both installed. So if i double
    click on it it won't play.
    What do I have to do to make it play from the desktop in its
    plain swf file format. I want people to be able to download it onto
    their desktop for both Mac and PC users. I published it as a
    projector .exe file but mac users cant run it.
    What should be my next step?
    I have installed Flash on my development box so this isnt an
    issue but it is for my test computer that doesnt have flash
    installed.

    HI
    mm 2 things you can do.
    1. Create a html page that loads this SWF file, This will
    work on both OS's.
    2. Create a Projector file for PC and HQX for the Mac. You
    cannot have one
    file todo both.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT3775 How can I play an audio file in 3GP format?

    Hi,
    I have an audio file in 3GP format, which was recorded in a mobile phone and transferred to me.
    I am not able to play it using QuickTim and VLC Player.
    Can someone please help me how to play this?
    Regards
    Sharath Arun

    Is that file played in a tab in the current window or in a separate pop-up window?
    Are you allowing pop-up to modify the window size (dom.disable_window_move_resize = false)?

    You can try set the Boolean pref <b>media.windows-media-foundation.enabled</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to disable the built-in HTML5 media player.

  • How do you play music in itunes from an external drive?

    if the library and itunes folder are on the external drive, how do you play the songs from there through a laptop? I have gotten that dreaded "original file not found" message over and over again. Thanks.

    Hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location.

  • Why can't continue play awb format file after call...

    Need a help!
    When I use most of S40 phone to playing awb format file,if playing be interrupt, music player can't continue to play from where it stopped.Is that normal? Or this relate awb format?
    Proconditon: Had connect headset (phone support)
    Step: Activate Music player to play awb format file > Answer a call or interrupt by alarm > Press play to continue play this file > The awb format file can't continue play from where it stopped, it play from begining.(others format file,like mp3,wma,can continue play)
    Who can explain this problem? Thanks a lot!!

    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I did take a look at the Jira issue you referenced. It suggests that the MediaPlayer be set to null in the MediaView after the last media file has been played and nullify the MediaPlayer reference. However, all this relies on GC to cleanup the resources. (In fact, the sample code in Jira shows a call to System.gc(), which, I understand, is not guaranteed to run immediately.)
    All the same, I tried the suggestion, but it didn't help my situation. So I am stuck with my alternative.
    It is rather disheartening that there is not a clear cut API for cleaning up media resources when you are done, instead of being dependent on GC.
    Thanks again.
