Is it possible to make video play smoothly from a flash drive?

I know it's generally taboo to do just that. This is a special circumstance.
I want to know if there's a way to either format the drive, or export the video (or a combination of the two) in such a way that video stored on the drive can play smoothly without having to download the content at all?

  • Possible play iTunes movies from USB flash drive in iTunes on public PCs?

    Posting on behalf of a friend who wants to play movies purhased in iTunes from a USB flash drive (thumbdrive) on pulic compuers (Win XP) with iTunses installed on them. Again: he wants to play movies puchased in iTunes on computers other than his own and he wants to be able to play them from the USB drive. Is this possible and, if so, how would one go about doing it?
    Many thanks,

    Start itunes on the public PC, and immediately go into itunes preferences > Advanced.
    Make sure the setting for "Copy files to itunes when adding to library" is unchecked.
    Then add the file to itunes like any other file (either through the itunes menus or windows drag & drop).
    The file will stay on the USB, but it will be listed in itunes so it can be played.
    When finished watching the movie, it would be a courtesy to others on that public PC to remove the movie from the itunes library. Once the USB is unplugged, itunes will give a "original file can't be located" message to anyone else. This is assuming everyone uses the same windows login.
    I've never heard of public PCs having itunes installed. Just curious, where is this at? A library? Workplace?

    Import them into an iTunes library, converting them to MPEG-4 if needed, and then sync the iPhone with that library.

    Hi Frans van Meeuwen,
    Do I understand correctly that you have a printed PDF and want to get it back on your computer as a PDF file? If so, you could scan that document, save it as an image file, then use Acrobat or Adobe PDF Pack to convert the scanned file to PDF.  Some scanning software saves directly to PDF, and if you don't have a scanner, I'm sure you could have it done at a local copy shop.
    I hope that helps.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Lost video file from a flash drive using iMac

    I played a video file that was saved on a flash drive on my iMac. After the video played, it was automatically deleted from the flash drive. I did not physically delete the file. When I closed the file, it simply vanished. Is there anyway to recover the file?

    Thanks for your response. I didn't notice the file in the trash after this occurred. If it was there, it is long gone by now anyway since I've emptied the trash several times since the incident (unless someone has an answer for recovering files that have been deleted from trash?). If it happens again, I'll pay closer attention to what is in the trash and see if this works. Thanks again.

  • Is it possible to run my iTunes solely from an external drive?

    I'm a college student and don't have my own computer anymore, and I currently use campus computers and library computers (No admin priviledges).
    I currently have all my previous iTunes music backed up on my external drive, and I have the iTunes package (The install package you download from Apple) also on there as well.
    I'm basically wondering if I can install iTunes onto my external drive, open it from there, and also be able to access my music from there as well?
    To give more clarification, I want to be able to go to a college or library computer (These computers are running on Windows XP or 7), be able to open iTunes from my external drive, and be able to manage and use my library from there.
    With college and library computers, you don't have the admin rights to install iTunes. However, I do have friends that will let me use their computer to install iTunes onto my external drive (If that is possible). So not being able to install iTunes because of lack of admin priviledges is a barrier I can get through.
    How ever I don't know if it's possible to run, and open iTunes from an external drive, and be able to open and use my iTunes library from there.
    And help would be great.
    Thanks in advance!

    how would I go about putting my iTunes library on an external drive?
    It depends on where your library is now and how it's organized. If you have all your content and library files in a single iTunes folder, drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then 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. Note that this procedure assumes that all of your tracks are contained in the iTunes Music folder. If they're scattered around your volumes, moving them becomes much more complex. Don't delete the tracks from the old location until you've confirmed that they're working correctly from the external drive
    Also is it possible to get past administrator rights, to install iTunes and delete iTunes each time I use a computer that I don't have administrator rights to? That way I can still use iTunes.
    No, it's not possible. As with most applications, you need administrator rights to install iTunes.
    Regards.

  • How to make videos play only inside flash?

    Hi.
    i have encoded(converted) some video files through Adobe Media Encoder to f4v. and i play them inside flash, through a flvlplayback component.
    I've placed the videos inside the same folder as my swf file.
    is there anyway i can protect the videos to be shown only inside my swf file?
    via the cue points and actionscript or something??
    something like a code to be placed at the begining of the clip, and be checked inside my swf file (while loading the video, into the playback component). if the condition was confirmed, the video plays.
    so that the video files don't play with other  players outside my swf file..

    i think the only way to add even a modest amount of protection is to use a streaming server.

  • Can I make things play automatically from the menu?

    Hello! I was wondering if it is possible to have a "hidden" title on my DVD that will play automatically after a certain time from the main menu. It would be something like a hidden "bonus feature" or an easter egg. I know about the autoplay feature, but what I want is for it to play after going to to the main menu, not before. Is this possible with iDVD 6?
    Thanks in advance!

    ... that is a nice riddle ...
    here's how I would accomplish that...:
    ... if you use a static dvd-menu, you could do a screen-shot of the final dvd's menu...
    add that screen shot to the very end of your Movie ...
    add "hidden movie" behind that still in to your Movie
    impression of viewer:
    dvd starts, shows menu
    viewer selects play
    video plays
    video ends;
    dvd player jumps back to menu...
    (indeed, video is still running....)
    all of a sudden (time defined by length of still of menu), hidden feature starts...
    ok, that "gimmick" will work once only ...

  • Same mp4 video plays fine from one drive but not recognised from another??

    Everytime I drag and copy my MP4 video files from my internal drive to an external one, it then no longer plays from the external drive.  The external drive is working fine, and if I render the video directly to that drive, it previews and plays fine.  This only happens to MP4 files I copy from internal drive to this external drive
    Something seems to happen to the file when I copy and paste it or drag and drop it. 
    As I drag it I and when it lands in the folder I copied it to, the preview thumbnail is here for a split second, then switches to a regular QT icon - when i try to open it, it then says file format not recognised - even though the exact same file plays fine from the original location on my internal hard drive
    This is driving me mad - any ideas - must be something simple?
    Any help really appreciated

    I used MPEGStreamClip to transcode the audio file to AIFF (over 1500 kbs @ 48khz) with better results. With the iTunes volume set at full and with the volume adjustment option set at 100% (which is 50% above flat), the AIFF file played through iTunes, produces about the same decibels as playing the file through VLC with the VLC volume at full.
    Thanks much for your help.
    I believe some of the problem is with the original file being a bit too quiet to begin with. Putting it into analog terms, it's kind of like a 1 watt pre-amp signal when it needs to be a 4. Do you know of a way to increase the audio output level through the cable box fire wire port so it can be captured at a higher audio level to begin with?

  • Is it possible to make an old iphone into an external drive if I bought an enclosure for it?

    Despite the ssd being soldered to the logic board?
    I am looking to recycle my old iphone for a useful purpose and wondering if it is a possible diy job prying the ssd from the logic board or would it be better to get an apple store to do it?

    It is going to be months before any unlocked iPhone 6s will be available.
    Also be aware that the iPhone purchased in the USA will only have warranty service in the USA. Any warranty service will require you to bring it back to USA.

  • Can't play music from external hard drive through iTunes on Windows 8?

    I recenty bought a new laptop running Windows 8 with a small internal hard drive, so I don't want to store all my music on it. I backed up my iTunes library onto an external hard drive, but when I plug this into my new laptop I can't play my music no matter what I do.
    I have tried:
    - selecting the newly created iTunes library by pressing Shift when opening iTunes and playing a song directly through the iTunes player. It selects the song, comes up with the speaker icon next to it to indicate it is playing, but the time doesn't count down and no music plays
    - I have gone into Advanced Preferences and specified the iTunes media folder location, still no songs play
    - coped a single song onto my new laptop desktop and tried to play this through iTunes, Media Player and the Music app. Media player says "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file". The Music app says it can't find any music on the computer, so when I select the music folder from my hard drive, it says "Can't Play. Make sure your computer's sound and video cards are working and have the latest drivers, then try again".
    I know my laptop can play sound and video as I can watch YouTube videos with no problems. I went to Windows Update, and there are no available updates, I already have every available update.
    I have also plugged in a different external hard drive, with different music files on it, and have encountered the exact same problems. It seems I can't play any music at all on this laptop. I know the files are not corrupted, as I can plug both hard drives into a different laptop that runs on Windows 7 and play the music on them with no troubles. Could it be a problem with the files compatibility with Windows 8?
    I can also access my iPhone backup through this iTunes library on the new computer, so I know there is no problem with my backup.

    I am experiencing a similar problem in Windows 7 64bit.  Since my laptop has a 128gb SSD, I have loaded my iTunes library on to an external drive.  I can sync my iPhones and iPads from this library, and the songs play fine from those devices.  However, when I select a song from my library, and click the play button, nothing happens.  iTunes does nothing.  I have also tried right-clicking mp3s in my library and selecting "Play", with no results.  I do not receive an error message of any kind.
    I have also noticed that some of my mp3's within iTunes denote the Time as 00:00.  The same mp3's will play and register properly using other mp3 players on my computer, and they also play normally on my iPhones and iPads.
    I am running Windows 7 x64 on a Lenovo T530, in iTunes 11.1.3.  Everything else in iTunes appears to function normally.  I can listen to internet radio stations without an issue, through iTunes, and they play as they should.  I have tried three different external drives, with different drive formats, and they all have the same issue.  If I copy my iTunes library back to my internal drive, iTunes will play my mp3s.
    I did not have this issue with iTunes 10, so I am assuming it is something that has occured within the last few updates.
    Has anyone found a fix for this?  Unfortunately, I am forced to use iTunes 11 because of my iOS devices, otherwise I would revert to iTunes 10.

  • Playing music from external hard drive, iTunes

    Hello all,
    After years of wanting to own a MacBook Pro, I finally have one.  This is the first Mac computer that I have owned so I am still new to everything.  One issue that I  am having is an issue that I have had over the years on Windows, that always took me hours to get straight.  I am going to explain  how my iTunes has been setup on all of my previous computers so that hopefully you guys can make sense of what I am trying to accomplish as I could not find a solution on here.
    The way iTunes is set up on my Windows PC's was that all of my music was on my external hard drive.  Whenever I would want to use my music through iTunes, I would have to plug in my external hard drive and once it boots I can now play music.  Without the hard drive plugged in I can only see all the information about my music on iTunes but I cannot play it since the hard drive is disconnected.  I am trying to do this same setup with my macbook but I am having difficulty accomplishing that.  I honestly do not remember how I did it on my Windows PC other than it took forever.  I kept getting duplicates but after trying multiple times, I got it to where there were no duplicates and everything was fine.
    What steps do I go about in order to be able to see all my music information on iTunes but having the actual music file on my external?  I like it this way as it saves my internal hard drive storage and I don't mind having to plug in my external when needed.  I have only attempted once so far to do this procedure on my new MacBook, I failed.  It transferred all of the music and worked just how I wanted it to work.  However, it created a duplicate of every song, which there is thousands of, so I deleted everything and now iTunes doesn't have anything.  Any help is appreciated, sorry for the long post.

    So after messing around for awhile I finally figured it out and got everything working how I want it and had it on my Windows machine.  It took me forever to find the iTunes library file as it was not in its default location on my Windows machine.  I finally figured out what needs to be done and it is really easy like you explained.  I discovered that my issue is: 1. The default location of these common iTunes files is not in its default location likely due to me moving it the last time I did this from my prior Windows machine and 2. My external hard drive needs to be cleaned up, at least my music section.
    What I am going to do in the future is purchase a new external hard drive specifically for my Mac backups and music.  I will have to take a day and transfer my huge library to the new drive so that I ensure everything is organized and kept clean and not make this process more difficult than it should in the future.  I am however missing some of my tracks (noted with the !) I do believe that this is due to me accidentally changing the file paths on my external at some point in the past and left certain files on my Windows internal drive.  This issue is solved though, hopefully.  I appreciate your help.
    BTW:  I am loving my 15" rMBP, I wish the price didn't hold me back as long as it did.  

  • Possible to create system software disc on USB flash drive to start Apple Hardware Test on mid 2009 iMac running OS X 10.9

    Is it possible to create a system software disc on a USB flash drive to start Apple Hardware Test on mid 2009 iMac running OS X 10.9?

    Hopefully, those dvd's are the correct ones. If not, it's possible to download the AHT for many models from Apple, & either make a bootable drive, or replace the files in the hidden /System/Library/CoreServices/.diagnostics folder.
    see  Download and run Apple Hardware Test (AHT) from a USB drive.
    There are additional download details in the comments  for some later models.
