  • Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

    Hello:
    Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

    Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
    Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
    Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
    There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
    The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
    Good luck,

  • I tunes won't play a song on my Windows 8 computer.   Plays videos but won't play music.

    Itunes will not play music on my HP laptop.  I have uninstalle and reinstalled but no success.  Plays videos but not music.

    Almost certainly a damaged track, then.
    Delete the current copy of the track from your iTunes library, and reimport a fresh copy from the CD. Does that one play properly?

  • ITunes shows mp3 Files in library but does not play them?

    Hi,
    I am having trouble with my library. I have a number of tracks in my iTunes folder which show up in my library, however when I click on them, nothing at all happens. The Diamond does not move and the track does not play.
    This is odd, as other tracks on the album, and which are included in the album folder do play, but iTunes has decided it won't play some of the tracks.
    Interestingly, the tracks it does play all show up with the album artwork if I view the folder, however the ones it does not play only show up with the MP3 file icon. And just to throw another twist in, I can play the files which iTunes wont play, in cover flow...
    So how do I gt iTunes to play all the songs again? Will rebuilding my library work?
    And finally, iTunes has categorised a load of album files in an "unknown" folder, despite these files having full artist, album, genre etc information in their tag. Can I get iTunes to put these into the correct albums somehow?
    Many thanks!

    As for the files not playing, you might want to check their permissions. Select the mp3 files in your finder, go to File>Get Info, look under Sharing & Permissions, and make sure you have Read & Write
    privileges.

  • My project has lost the audio track. I imported tracks from iTunes, they are in the project but do not play, please help?

    Hi...my movie project has lost the audio track. I can see it but nothing plays.
    The movie record has its audio but the imported iTunes track is silent.

    This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

  • Apple TV plays sound, but does not play video on AirPlay

    Hello,
    I'm having a strange malfunction with my Apple TV (latest model) and my iPad 2. I have updated both to the latest software.
    When playing a video I purchased through iTunes on the iPad 2, if I select the Apple TV via AirPlay, then only sound plays on the Apple TV.
    Now, if I attempt to replicate this problem with my iPad 3, there is no problem at all: the video and audio plays without issue.
    The network is an AirPort Extreme (extended with an Express)
    I've reset the Apple TV, the iPad. Nothing seems to work, anyone have this problem?
    Would appreciate any advice!

    I am having the same probalem. It's very strange.  My ipad will stream videos purchased from Itunes to the apple tv.  However, when we try to use my wife's, only the sound comes up.  Both apple tv and ipad are fully update and have been restarted.  it's bizarre.

  • Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter plays video but does not do Audio

    Ok I was told by someone at the Apple Store durring my one to one secession that I could get a mini to HDMI cable and the video and audio from my laptop would be displayed on the TV.
    This was the cable I was told to get http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0025V2VO0/ref=oxya_ohproduct
    Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter (female) Cable for Apple Mac
    Now it displays the video on the TV but no audio.

    Apparently it's the current range of MBP's that's the issue. In theory, the displayport standard supports audio.

  • I am having problems syncing recently recorded songs to my iPod. I am using an ion program to record vinyl records to iTunes. The songs are in the iTune library and will play on the computer. When I try to sync they show up but do not play. help

    I am using an ion piece of equipment to record vinyl reccords to my iMac and in turn save them in iTunes. I have recorded many records this way and have never had a problem until yesterday. I recorded three songs from records to iTunes and was successful as they are on the song list and will play on the iMac. When I tried to sync them to my iPod they showed up on the menu but would not play. The iPod just skipped over the new guys. Am I doing something wrong or has my ion program flipped out? Any help would be appreciated by this old man. Thankyou

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files from my hard drive

    When logged into my home account DVD Player plays DVDs but will not play VIDEO_TS files that are on my hard drive. I get an error message: "there was a problem opening the media. Media type is not supported." When logged in as "root" DVD player does play these same files. Also, when logged in to my home account, I can play these same files in VLC.

    Go this this thread for more details:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1075814
    But the gist of the fix is to delete or rename "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist" and let the DVD Player build a new one. It seems that this is caused by a migrated PPC preference that borks DVD Player 5 on Intel Macs, which is what just happened to me. Hope this helps.

  • If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now?

    If I remove itunes and its drivers from my computer, as recommended by someone at the Apple store for a problem I'm having, I know my music will come back, but will my playlists still be there as they are now? I forgot to ask.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Nothing.  The message means you MUST restore your phone to factory settings.  There's no way around this .  Your phone is in recovery mode.  That's the only way to get it out.

  • My 60GB Ipod used to play videos but no it doesn't??? help!!!!!

    Hi, there
    my ipod used to play videos, i then didnt play one for a while and it now doesnt play them anymore..... it doesnt seem to update them onto my ipod....thanks

    ok now are the videos that are not updating to the ipod the same videos that used to update to it? Or is it new content you have imported to itunes since you last updated the ipod with videos? Also, are these videos itunes purchased or user created content?
    See these articles for information on file formats that will play in itunes and import to the ipod (note: itunes plays more file types than the ipod will load, so just because a video will play in itunes does not mean the file type will update to ipod)

    Now once you have made sure that your videos are in the correct format and have been converted to play on the ipod, make sure that your ipod preferences are set to automatically update the videos. Or you can try manual mode and drag and drop em onto the ipod.
