HT3775 Unable to open MPG Movies

I have 10.8.1 version and unable to open mpg movies.  It states I need a required codec isn't available.  Not able to find it.  Please advise.

You'd need a converter (if this is not a commercial app - if so, copyright and DRM issues may be at work); you can try MPEG Streamclip - see if your format is mentioned. Otherwise, you can try VLC (a free player that'll play most any format).

  • I HAVE PICTURES IN MY DOWNLOAD, UNABLE TO OPEN OR MOVE

    I HAVE DOWNLOADED PICTURES. THEY SHOW IN DOWNLOADED DROP, BUT I AM UNABLE TO OPEN OR MOVE. HAVE CHANGED WHERE THEY DOWNLOAD TO...THIS WORKS. HOW DO I OPEN THE ONES DOWNLOADED PRIOR TO CHANGE. PLEASE ADVISE. THANKS E

    Is the problem that you can't see the CD/DVD after you insert it? It could be a simple matter of changing the Finder preferences. From within the Finder pull down the File menu and select 'Finder Preferences'. You should see the following widown appear. Add a check mark next to the 'CDs, DVDs, and iPods' section as shown below. Once you do so the inserted disks should show up on your desktop.
    If you still have problems please provide more details on the specific disks you are trying to use.

    "The document “4-20130701090400-7.mp4” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.You may need to install additional software to open this type of file."

    Download and install VLC Player. It plays more formats and is free and highly regarded.

    Try dragging it onto the desktop first and if it still will not open try downloading MPEG Streamclip (free program) and try opening it and/or converting it to a format which will open such as .avi

  • Unable to open .mpg files

    I recently installed OS X 10.6.3 on my 2008 MacBook Pro. Now can't get QuickTimePlayer to recognize .mpg files. How do I make this happen?

    Software update to 10.6.8 and that might cure the issue.

    How to install
    When you click a link, a download of the installer file occurs to your Downloads Folder usually located next to your Trash Can or in your Users Folder.
    Open the folder and double click (or File: Open) the download and icon can appear on your desktop which you open and inside is a installer package which you double click on to launch the installer.
    OS X will check the download to make sure you intended to start it and that it's not malware it knows about.
    Follow the installer instructions to install the software onto your computer and quit when finished.
    Some require the browsers to be closed first, others require the machine to be restarted to enable the software.
    Once the install is completed, remove any and all downloads from your Download folder, it's safer to keep this folder empty so you can keep track of what appears in there.
    Drive by downloads of malware can occur and reside in the Downloads folder, mixing in with files residing there and await your click to install.

  • Unable to open a .MOV File

    Trying to open or export an .MOV File that is supposed to be already saved in Adobe revel,... a message appears ".... preparing video... ", with a cloud symbol.
    This message never disappears and the file couldn't be wether opened nor exported anyway.
    How can I recover this file ?
    Thanks and kind Regards

    I try to open it up, but every time my computer asks me to ‘subscribe’ to
    Adobe 'pro', which of course, I am not going to.  Then I have to ‘upload’
    the document onto my computer then I have to go into download (green arrow
    thing) then, I have to open the thing up via a little icon on the download,
    which then opens up another dialogue box, and finally I press ‘ctl p’ to
    print off the document!  Such a lot of messing for something which should be
    quick and easy!!  So what do I do?
    I am just grateful that nowadays I don’t get very many pdf documents!! 
    would be sat here forever!

  • Unable to open IMovie Project in IDVD

    I have created a 40 minute movie in IMovie 08 (my first). I am unable to open the movie in IDVD 08 and Garage Band. The project name is visible in the media browser but is not available for selection.
    I have published the movie to the media browser and it still is not available to IDVD.
    I am new to apple computers and have been unable to get help with this problem.

    Here's two things to try:
    This frequently helps solve some problems. Search for the file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and trash it. (A new one will be created next launch of iDVD.) Or look in: User/Library/Preferences. This may solve project loading errors too. Restart and use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions.
    You'll need to reset some Preferences.

    Hi Gordon 
    This could happen if there is any mailbox which has occupied more space than its normal quota allocated.
    As suggested by geo try to clean all the DB's first 
    You can probably run Get-Mailboxdatabase | Clean-Mailboxdatabase which will clean all of your DB's wait for some time until it gets completed
    Also try running the command with the MRS server parameter switch and specify a CAS FQDN and see the results if it gets succeded
    Get-Mailbox -Database 'DBNAME'| New-MoveRequest -TargetDatabase DBNAME -BatchName "BATCHNAME" -BadItemLimit 100 -AcceptLargeDataLoss -MRSserver CAS server FQDN Good Luck !!Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question.That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you.

  • Unable to open movies in certain sites using Firefox 4, no problem with former versions

    As a almost daily visitor of the site Bigfun.be I got a crash every time I wanted to open a movie, since I started using Firefox 4.
    After some automatic updates, the crashes disappeared.
    But it's still unable to open movie files. There is a message which says that the file is being loaded, but it isn't.
    I've contacted the webmaster, he knows about the problem and suggested me to uninstall the version 4 and to go back to the 3.6 version.

    I went to that site and played a couple of movies without a problem. Cat & Budgie and Horse on the back seat of a car...lol.
    Have a look at your firewall logs. Is the firewall blocking '''plugin_container.exe''' by any chance? That utility is part of Firefox and acts like a kind of sandbox to isolate plugins which crash without crashing the whole browser. But it does need Internet access. Generally speaking, what often happens is the firewall throws up an alert to which the user doesn't respond. So the firewall 'assumes' it's a threat and blocks it.
    Can you go to this site: http://www.liveleak.com/ and click on any video. Is the player visible even if it doesn't play?

    I have an iMac G5 (20 inch screen) i sight (no intel chip).Leopard OS 10.5.8. Recently I went on Facebook and tried to open a movie site someone had sent me on Facebook andwhen I tried to open the video on Facebook, I was told  I had to upgrade my Adobe Flash Player. i tried to do this, but turns out that Facebook is requiring folks to have an intel chip in order to view movies...this is outrageous!  Just think of all the folks in the world who have great running pre intel chip Apple computers. I called the Adobe Help line and was told that I really needed to buy a new computer....no thanks. How do I find a way to get a new version of Adobe for Facebook and youtube. I wish Apple could develop a way to have intel chips installed in the older computers. If you have any suggestions on this please let me know.
    Thanks, Sarah

    Either get a screen cleaning cloth, or carefully us a slightly damp lint-free cloth and dry off with a dry link-=free cloth.
    As to Flash Videos: I am in a similar same boat. I cannot watch flash videos on the BBC website or on BBC iPlayer, although all other flash videos (YouTube and FaceBook for example) are fine.
    For reasons that passeth all understanding, they work with the PPC version of Firefox, called TenFourFoxG5.app, once you have anabled plug-ins, as it does not natively support Flash.
    You can download TenFourFoxG5 from here:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    Now for the intersting bit: TenFourFox, like Firefox, does not support most plug-ins. Unless you are prone to headaches (in which case don't) you can read about that here:
    http://code.google.com/p/tenfourfox/wiki/PluginsNoLongerSupported
    But there is a workaround!
    Open TenFourFox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: tenfourfox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close TenFourFox, open it again, and Flash will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.
    I am using Flash 10.1.102.64 in TenFourFox and it works just fine.
