I can't watch videos from the net...

i can't open videos from the internet, specifically those from yahoo sports and other sites. sometimes they just will not load, and sometimes i click to open it, and a new folder shows up on my desktop but if i try to open it it says that it cannot be opened because i don't have the right application to do so.

Sounds like you're trying to view RealPlayer files. Since this program isn't preinstalled on Macs, you have to download it from this site. It also gives you instructions on how to install it.

    how can I download a video from the net? is there is any special download softwear than realplayer?

    There are a variety of file formats for storing and sending video. You will probably want to install VLC, which handles most open formats. RealPlayer is used on their proprietary format.

  • Can only watch videos from YouTube, but not from other websites.

    I can only watch videos from youtube, but certain websites such as dailymotion.com , videos.sapo.pt, etc, the flash video does not load up. I´ve tried updating my video drivers, installing older versions of Adobe flash, but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone has this problem? IShould I be messing with the flash global settings?
    Thanks.

    Hi, You may want to check the system requirements for the other sites. If you can watch videos on Youtube, then you must have Flash Player Installed properly.
    Sometimes certain websites don't support or are late in supporting the latest version of Flash Player (10.1.102.64), so you might want to contact the websites on that.
    You can use this link for setting and see if that makes a difference. Normally you would get a popup from the website to ask for this, but that would depend on how you have the Global Settings Panels set up.

  • Airport & Can't get video from the camera

    Ok, So I've been reading through the discussions trying to figure out what's wrong, and then how to fix it. I keep getting error "Can't get video from the camera"
    Here's my setup: OSX 10.4.4 on 1 Ghz PB. iChat 3.1.1, I'm connecting using a Dazzle Hollywood DV Bridge with an analog camcorder attached. I can get a video preview, but no video chats.
    My connection is via a DSL modem (Cisco 725) and my ISP says all the ports needed for iChat are not blocked. my local network goes from the Cisco to an Airport (dual ethernet) which then distributes the IP addresses.
    I've read that airports need to be switched so that they do not control the IP addresses, but when I do that my network stops working. Is there any way around disabling the NAT on the airport?

    Hi EdM
    I think that I'm starting to see the light... Let me see if I have this right.
    My PB has an IP of 10.0.1.4 via Sys Prefs, etc..
    And the Airport is 10.0.1.1 and is distributing IP addresses (hence the 10.0.1.x IP numbers - right)
    Yep (so far)
    So using Terminal I need to type:
    set net entry add 10.0.1.4 5060 udp
    ...and so on...
    Nope. You need to have Distributing Addrress deselected in the Airport if it is in the link
    With the Modem doing DHCP you should get an IP from it (mostly 10.0.0.3 as the Airport will also be given one)
    Once the Modem's issued IP appears on the Mac then you log on to the modem (10.0.0.1) in Terminal, and Forward the ports to the IP the Mac gets.
    Your wife's PC is also likely to need some ports open for her Apps and this will be a different IP.
    I have only brought some of the details from the Port Forward site so I would make sure you check any Read Me or manual (On the CD ? web site ?) that might give you more clear instructions.
    I would set it up with the Airport Out of the loop first as this will confirm the modem is in DHCP mode (you will not get an IP otherwise).

  • Videos from the net won't play; plug in's enabled, latest Flash player installed; everything works fine on Safaril; even replaced Firefox by Aurorar, the same.

    Earlier everything worked fine, I'm not aware of any change, e.g. in preferences. Now, if I try starting a video from the net (e.g. Youtube) I get either message: update Flash player, or enable plug in; both are in order, and work fine on Safari. I cleared cache and cookies, tried even to uninstall Firefox and download Aurora in vain. I use Windows 7 Ultimate and AVG Internet Security, the very same as earlier when Firefox played these videos perfectly.

    Hi, is it the website itself or just that particular game? Does either one work when using Internet Explorer?
    Using FF(Firefox) go to the plug-ins and look for the SWF vs 10.0.45.2 plug-in and make sure it is Enabled.
    Do you use Ad-Block in FF?, if so try Disabling it and then check if this makes a difference.
    Thanks,

  • IChat Error: "Can't get video from the camera"

    When I try to Screen Share with iChat on a local network, I receive the error "Can't get video from the camera" when I have an external camera plugged into the FW400 port on my Mac Mini. The Screen Sharing feature works great when the camera is not connected. Anyone know why this is and how to fix it?

    Tell us about the Network you created please.
    What make and model modem ?
    Can it route (issue IPs) ?
    IS there a router ?
    Make and model of that please ?
    If there are two devices which is doing DHCP if any are ?
    IS there any computer that is sharing it's Internet Connection with any other computer ?
    I take it from the title and the post that you infer you can Video and Audio chat ?
    The Cannot get Video from Camera normally gets and Error Log pop up.
    This can be opened with the reveal triangle on the left. The Details shown will have a Error number. Do you know what this log says ? (normally Error 20 or 21)
    Old logs are stored in Users/(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionErrors by date.
    IF you post an Error Log stop at the line that Says "Binary Images for iChat" as we don't need the bits below that yet.
    As the Screen share in iChat uses an Audio component then the Camera if it is also the Mic needs to be ON.
    In your case this may mean that in the ichat Video Menu both Camera Enabled and Mic Enabled should both be ticked.
    (I have never seen an iChat error code for not (specifically) being able to get the Mic input so the message might be the only one iChat can pop up)
    It does seem very odd that it only effecting Screen Sharing.
    I have a Firewire connected DV converter that has two Firewire ports itself so I can input the camera feed to two computers. When this is in place the System also sees it as a Network.
    I have also heard of one person with a Firewire Stills camera and I think the Storage space was seen as an External Device and therefore appeared Networked which is why I asked the first set of questions.
    iChat does not like being in Two networks (a modem that issues IP address and a router doing the same or Wireless to a neighbour and Ethernet to your Own Internet connection, the Mac being the hub in a Share Internet connection, Wireless and Ethernet to the same router and using Parallels when set to Share the Mac's IP are the most common)
    The Screen Sharing option in iChat > Video Menu is ON ? (at both ends ?)
    As iChat's Screen Sharing is related to the System Screen Sharing and therefore Apple Remote Desktop you may find that in any routing device you may have to open ports 5900 and 5988 if not using UPnP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629?viewlocale=en_US
    You said Local Network. Do you mean this is using the Bonjour Buddy List ?

  • "Disconnected from Screen Sharing because: Can't get video from the Camera"

    Whenever I try to do Screen Sharing with another Mac (with Leopard), I get this warning:
    "Disconnected from Screen Sharing because: Can't get video from the Camera"
    It doesn't seem to affect video chats, which I can do just fine.

    It's an AirPort Express, but the problem doesn't seem to be unique to the router. I tried it in another location with another router and it still didn't work.

  • Can you capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc?

    trying to capture video from the internet, using premiere pro cc, is that possible?
    also - it keeps saying "video capture offline" - any solutions for that?

    I am going to go out on a limb and say that while it may be against the YouTube terms of service to download or scrape a video off of their service, there are times that I really don't care since it is for my personal use. Providing myself or my wife with entertainment that she can watch or listen to on her smartphone while on an airplane, or in a car traveling down the road, just doesn't bother my moral compass. Doesn't make it twitch in the least.
    Perhaps I am wrong. Perhaps I shouldn't do it. Tough. I do, and will continue to do so until the Google police come knocking on my door.
    This is pretty much the same argument that they tried to kill the VCR with. The simple act of time shifting was something that was considered wrong, and illegal, until people came to their senses.
    As for the editing capability, you might be surprised at the ways it is possible to download video that works just fine for what I use it for. Premiere Pro has no problems allowing me to edit out the parts I don't like, or just aren't funny, and the quality really doesn't suffer much at all.
    Now, with the exception of something I did for my two year old Great Niece, I have never used any video that I have downloaded for anything except a tutorial, or in her case, a Sesame Street song I used when I shot video of me reading her the Sesame Street book that I purchased.
    Would it be wrong to post downloaded video, intact or edited, for public consumption? Sure it would. No question about it.
    But please do not assume that everyone downloading video from the Internet is doing so for nefarious purposes, and I promise not to assume everyone is a perfect angel and is following all the rules.

    Hi,
    the .Net 2.0 framework is an application layer which is only used with Microsoft Windows !
    Therefor the zip file you have seems to also be for Windows only and can not be run in OSX.
    If you are running the CoH game while in Windows, you can download the .Net framework from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=0856eacb -4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5
    Later versions of the .Net framework can be found, when scrolling down on that website.
    As said you can only use this when running Windows on your Mac, not in OSX.

    How can I watch video fom Amazon on my iPad. 

    Until Amazon decides to support the iPad with its streaming video, about the only way is to play the video on your computer and use a VNC program to watch the computer on your iPad. Not much of an option, is it?
