IWeb Can soundfiles be played by another player than Quicktime?

iWeb Can soundfiles be played by another player than Quicktime? Some Windows users are not allowed to install Quicktime for Windows (e.i. a workcomputer with limitations) and they cannot play the soundexamples on my webpage! Is it possible to change the player in iWeb?

Its not something that iWeb does. You need to upload the player assets (song files and any other required scripts) to the server and use some code in an HTML Snippet.
Computers running older versions of Windows usually have flash installed and you can use a player like this...

Flash players are not so good a choice nowadays since they won't work on mobile devices like iPhone/iPad.
All modern browsers support HTML5 audio including Internet Explorer V 9....

To ensure playback in older browsers its necessary to add flash fallback...

If you want to put more than one or two audio tracks on a web page its better to use a playlist style player. Again, flash used to be the way to go...

Modern playlist players with flash fallback are not so easy and most of them use jQuery. Some examples...

The Yahoo playlist player is relatively simple but lacks some essential features...

IDVD won't play on Bose DVD, little volume when played on another player

I just finished an iDVD, using two movies created in Photo-to-Movie and iMovie, and another just in iMovie, with some video I shot. I placed all three movies onto a DVD.
The movie plays great on my Sony DVD player, although volume is pretty loud, compared to commercial DVDs. It plays great on my iMac and a PC.
On the Bose system I have, a 1-2-3 model (AV-18), the DVD player does not recognize the format at all. When played in another DVD player (Oppo) I have hooked up to the Bose for sound, I can barely hear sound, even when set to top volume. Commercial movies played either on the Oppo or Bose are fine.
Is this just one of the many pain-in-the-rear dysfunctions of a Bose system, or should I figure out a way to use another format when use iMovie/iDVD to create a movie?

Commercial DVDs are pressed, not burned, so they are 'read' differently by DVD players.
I know that burned DVD disks can play differently in different DVD players. Mine always play great on my Sonys, but not always on my Toshiba. The Toshiba seems to read the audio tracks in reverse, making the audio louder where I have decreased it and vice versa.
I have not tried my DVDs on Bose or Oppo players, so I don't know if the problem is more specific to them.
Be sure you are using a quality brand of DVD disk; Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden are recommended here. Memorex and TDK are not. Apparently their disk layers are thinner making burns inconsistent.
If you burned a DVD +R disk, you might want to try it on a DVD-R disk. Also, choose a slow burn speed.
I always use Verbatim archival gold disks DVD-R, burn at a speed of 4x or less.

How can I use DIVX or another player to view Flash movies instead of using an Adobe product?

My understanding is that is can be done on windows (w7/64bit). Main goals are for embedded videos on sites such as FB, Youtube and Vimeo.
I was basically ok with Flash, but I like the idea of open-standards products better.
FireFox has disabled the Flash player. Why? It's listed as vulnerable which means there is definitely an exploit but what?

I'd like another player because I've had it with Adobe. I've spent hours and hours trying to get Shockwave & Flash to work after recent updates in those programs. I tested them out in Google Chrome, and still problems although fewer than in FF.
What is going on with these products? Everytime I run an update of FF or Shockwave/Flash, everything gets screwed up!!

Can I tunes play music from more than one directory?

Can anyone tell me if its possible to store music files in more than one location, say my I Mac hard drive and also an external hard drive, and set I tunes to play fiels from both locations? This is possible with Windows Media player.

If you open iTunes and go to Preferences>Advanced>General you'll see a box "Copy files to iTunes Music when adding to library". If you have this box unchecked then anything you add to the library from say a music folder on your hard drive and another music folder on a second drive get added to the library but but remain in the original location. The library will contain the location information so the song file can be accessed when you want to play it. Of course this would mean that any songs located on the external drive could only be accessed when the drive was connected.

Can no longer playing my own podcasts with QuickTime on Mac.

When checking my latest Garage Band podcast, I got ? in Q with message to download latest QuickTime. I did that but still get ? in Q. I can play my podcasts on PC with QuickTime in Windows XP, but not on my Mac. My 2GHz Macbook is new and has no additional software to interfere. It will, however, play some other podcasts from iTunes, though only some. My podcast address is http://web.mac.com/daveyesitsme
David Powell
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9) 2 GHz Intel Core2 Duo

No more ? in Q. Roger, thanks for confirming that the problem was not my Garage Band podcasts. After further, failed investigations with settings, I downloaded Firefox browser, as suggested by a previous post. Using Firefox my podcasts open perfectly with QuickTime 7.1.6. Why not in Safari? - beats me. Glad you checked.
David Powell
Your podcasts play OK on my G4 iMac with 10.3.9. and
QT 7.0.4. I believe the latest version of QT has been
causing problems (not for the first time), so I have
avoided it: but anyway the problem is local to your
Mac, the podcasts are fine. You could try asking in
the QuickTime forum.

Playing Videos from iPhoto in any other player than Quicktime

Hi,
is there any way to make iPhoto open video files in anything but Quicktime X. I'd prefer them all starting in VLC.
Setting VLC as the default player for all .MPG files works when selecting the files in Finder, yet iPhoto will still try and start them in Quick Time.
This is very annoying. Has anybody managed to resolve this issue?

Hi Terence,
Well, your answer is certainly to the point!
U SURE??
I hate QT X. I have 7 and it seems to usually default to opening QT movies - except the ones in iPhoto.
What a shame there's no way to set iPhoto to default to using QT 7. But you're saying there's not!
Just confirming nothing's changed in the last 3 weeks!
Thanks . . .

Error -43 when try playback on win7 64bits over the network QT that recide MacPro osx 10.5 however i can play with VLC player, This happend when the QT is inside a Folder with name longer 8 chars other files has no problem with long names just the QT

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

HT1382 Is there anyway to convert video taken by ipad and burn it to a DVD that can play on DVD player?

Is there anyway to convert video taken by ipad and burn it to a DVD that can play on DVD player?

Persius,
Nearly every DVD that will play on a set-top player *should* play on a computer, provided two things:
1.) the computer has a DVD player that can handle that flavor of DVD media, DVD RW, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD DL, etc.
2.) the computer has a software player installed. This feature has been removed from some common media players. You may need to locate, download and install a separate software player.
There could be another discussion on interlaced vs progressive scan media, but I'll let you ask that question.

I just switched from an HP laptop to a MacAir. I am trying to view videos from within my power points. These were played on Adobe player and shockwave player. Is it safe to install that on a Mac? If not how can I play these?

I just switched from an HP laptop to a MacAir laptop. I had previously developed a number of powerpoints in which i have video links that require adobe shockwave player. I can no longer play them on the MacAir. Is it safe to download the Adobe player? If not how can I play these videos now?

Adobe players are safe. Go to adobe.com and their site should detect the latest version for your hardware.

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files with flip4mac anymore

After migrating to a retina macbook with mountain lion I can not play windows media player files anymore. I use flip4mac pro 3.0 and quicktime 7.6.6.
The message I receive is: De bewerking kan niet worden voltooid. (OSStatus fout -50). I also have problems with zip files that can not be saved on the desktop anymore while unzipping.

I actually installed Quicktime pro and Flip4Mac Pro again after I bought the Retina Macbook. Today I did it again but still get the same OSStatus error -50. I guess there is some old file that has to be removed. Flip4Mac comes with an uninstaller. Quicktime does not.
I read that his could be something with security that is why I mention the problem with the zip files as well.

In Windows how can I save a video just played by Flash Player?

In Windows how can I save a video just played by Flash Player?

This is what I ended up doing. I put the FLVPlayback inside a movieclip and put this on the first frame:
stop();
var vidTime:Number=0;
on the frame that the video plays on I have the video and a close button (which is a movieclip) and I put the following script:
if(vidTime>0)
    htMeasVid.seek(vidTime);
close_btn.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, seekCount);
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, closeBtnUp);
function seekCount(e:Event):void
     vidTime=htMeasVid.playheadTime;
function closeBtnUp(e:MouseEvent):void
    e.currentTarget.parent.play();
on the following frame I have this code:
close_btn.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, seekCount);
htMeasVid.stop();
and then on the last frame I have this:
gotoAndStop(2);
so that it doesn't reset the vidTime variable to 0.
Thanks again for the help.

My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.
