HT3775 how to open a video file that is different format

how to open media plyer video file in mac?

If you're talking about Windows Media files (WMV, WMP, etc.) then Flip4Mac will allow most (unless they have DRM) to be played in QuickTime.  VLC will also play them.  There may be other solutions.
Good luck

  • HT3775 How to open .MOD video files

    I dont have or find any programme to open my video files from my JVC camera (.MOD).
    Can .mod be converted to a more common file type or open by any known program for Mac.

  • How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

    How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?  Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
    Thanks for any guidance.

    As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy.  I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
    Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user.  Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out.  The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous!  If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
    Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly.  And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.

  • How to open a RAW file that has been created with Photoshop CS5.5?

    I did some HDRs and when back in Photoshop CS 5.5 I tried to save them (16 bit colur depth).
    GIven the option to save the image as .RAW file I did that but now:
    Which program can be used to open those Photoshop created RAW files???
    When I try to open one of these files with Photoshop I just get noise.

    1.  Photoshop CAN open (flat) PSD files through Camera Raw, no problem.
    2. There are those of us who have used every version of Photoshop, going back almost 20 years, and who *still* haven't used them all.  I just don't see that as any kind of problem. 
    3. Lastly:  You have been asserting here all along that Photoshop won't re-open a 16 bit .raw file properly.  That's absolutely wrong.  If you get the bit depth, number of channels, and pixel counts right (i.e., the same as when the image was saved) it WILL open properly.  The thing is, with the Photoshop raw format there really is no metadata in the file, meaning YOU have to put all those numbers in.  It's not a general purpose "push one button and done" kind of format - it's a specialty format, as Chris noted above.

    1) will try that out
    2) I am just curious and like to try out all functions and see what it does and how it works.
    3) guess I have to play arould with it a bit more to find the right settings that allow me to save and re-open the file correctly.
    BTW: when writing messages here my FF browser doesnt show any cursor in the text field which makes it difficult to see where I am. Does everyone have that problem?
    Just noticed: I have to click on to something in the pulldown menu and later the cursor appears. I have the same problem with facebook. Have to click somewhere else first and then go back to the text field to make the cursor appear.

  • How to open pc video file on playbook

    hi anybody pls help . i transfer my pc video file in mpeg format to playbook but i can't find the file in my playbook video . why ? pls help me .thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    real player format isnt supported on playbook i dont think use a programme such as handbrake on your pc and either transcode it to an mp4 or .avi that way your playbook will recognise it as a video file.

  • I upgraded my Mac OSX by downloading Maverick.  I am not able to open backed up files that have .cwk format.  Is there a solution?

    Mac OS X, Version 10.9.5.  4GB 1067MHz DDR3  I recently upgraded to Maverick.  Now I am unable to open Genealogy files with .cwk format.  I spent an hour at an Apple Store Genius Bar with no solution. 

    Hello,
    knowing the type of the files that you want to convert is interesting :
    - if there are text/spreadsheet/presentation files, iWork'09 may be able to convert them,
    - if there are graphic vector files, there exists some commercial solutions : EazyDraw Retro ( http://www.eazydraw.com/appleWorks.htm ), Intaglio which can give good or less good results
    Concerning LibreOffice, normally, the LibreOffice 4.3 tries to convert all AppleWorks/ClarisWorks documents ( excepted the presentation files ), the result can be good or not ( this depends on the complexity of the original documents, ...) :-~
    Notes:
    - you can find more informations about migrating AppleWorks files in http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/aw/page1.html
    - if your documents do not contain ant confidential data, seeing some of them may interest me to see what happens with the LibreOffice's filter : check if some parts of the documents are not parsed, ...

  • How to open a video file

    how do i import an avi? i'm trying to import but nothing happens... i cant see the video that i imported.. im soory i'm a dumb first-timer user...

    You should open up the manual and look at supported file types. I doubt you'll find .avi anywhere in that list. While you've go the manual open, it details very well the answer to your question.

  • HT1461 How to Open a PDF file (that was sent to me via email) on windows 7 side of MacBook pro

    Please help fast

    One more reason to get people to use something other than a Mac where everything is exptected to be done for you.
    And asking for "fast help"? what is with that.Never learning to use search engines or darn... Windows will ask what you want to open a file with and search also.
    I think email attachments even pdf be sure who and expected it,, and they should be saved to a file.
