M4v file not recognised by media center on xbox

i have downloaded breaking bad series, .m4v files but when trying to stream to xbox via windows media player. the message received is that the file type is not supported.
i have tried using real player converter and two other converters to change the file type all have failed. indeed when trying to find the file on media center the message states the path may be incorrect or not avaiable if offline.
can any one suggest a way forward to resolve this please.

I copied one of the downloaded tracks into one of my windows folders and right clicked on it. In Properties,General tab it says Type of File: M4P. It also says underneath Opens With: unknown application. I can listen to these tracks in itunes but not if I copy them to a windows folder (although I used to be able to with previous versions of itunes)! However, my only concern is not being able to burn them. If I try to burn a playlist exactly as stated in the itunes help guide it says burn completed but then will not play the tracks on the disk.

Media in CD / DVD drive not writeable by Media Center

I have a Qosmio F20 laptop running Windows XP Media Center 2005 edition, when I try and record my recorded tv program onto a DVR+RW I get the following error message,
Media in the CD/DVD drive is not writeable by Media Center
I have update rollup 2 installed.
Rgds

Many thanks for the info above. Ive looked at those pages but was not able to find the solution.
I can record using the installed Sonic recording package onto all of my discs, CDR CDRW DVD+RW with no problem.
I just wanted to record via Media Center in the hope that it would play on my DVD player attached to my TV.
My CD drive model is UJ-840S so I hoped I woudnt have the problem. As the info from Microsoft says that its
the UJ-846S that may not work without installing Update Rollup 2 for Media Center.
I saw the following explanation on the Microsoft page http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909083
The computer is using a DVD-RAM drive that was not supported in the initial release of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. For example, the problem is known to occur when you use the Matsu****a DVD-RAM drive model UJ-846S. This drive was not supported in the initial release of Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
Update Rollup 2 for Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 adds support for additional drives, including the Matsu****a DVD-RAM drive model UJ-846S. Without these updates installed, the UJ-846S drive will correctly recognize DVD-R, DVD-RW, and DVD-RAM discs. However, the drive will not recognize CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD+RW discs.
To determine the model of optical drive that is installed in the computer, follow these steps:
1. Click START click RUN type MSINFO32 and then click OK
2. In System Information expand COMPONENTS
3. Click CD-ROM The mode of the optical drive is displayed in the NAME section.
I will keep trying various Microsoft solutions and come back If I find the answer.
Thanks again.

Macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.?

I have burnt audio cds using external burner(itunes 8).They are on the cd as it plays in the mac but will not play on our cd player.Iread something online about macs and aiff files not recognised by older hi fi.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AudioInterchange_FileFormat
any help please

Several possible issues.
1) Did you burn the CD as an audio format CD or did you just burn AIFF files to a CD as a data CD? CD players require an audio format CD, not just AIFF files burned to a CD as AIFF files.
2) Older CD players can have problems reading burned CDs. Sometimes using a different brand CD, a longer burn time (slower burn speed) can help, but sometimes you just have to buy a newer player. CD-RW can present big problems unless it is specified as supported.

10.4 Update files not recognised

Using 10.4 on a second hand Powermac g4 from ebay, so no installation discs.
Successfully downloaded standalone updates 10.4.1....10.4.9 etc but first one (MacOSXUpdate10.4.1.dmg) not recognised so won't install. others recognised but won't work until first one installed.
Same with standalone combo update (MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.10) it isn't recognised. Using AOL dial up so it's taken seven attempts (overnight) to get a continuous connection for the complete Combo download. (Same with Software Updates Combo from Apple menu on desktop)
How do I get the right file which will be recognised ? or should I buy a full retail version of Tiger from ebay ? I'm concerned about all the probs people are having with updates as I am miles away from Apple Store for repairs and am a newbie. Many thanks for any replies.

Welcome To  Discussions frenchbingo!
Which version of OS X is currently installed on the Power Mac G4?
If it is not Tiger 10.4.x, then as sig posted, you will have to purchase a set of install discs.
Exactly which model PowerMac G4 is it?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
If it is this model Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics), it had OS 8.6 or OS 9.0 installed, when manufactured in 1999.
Mac OS X Versions 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5, are complete system upgrades that must be purchased.
Once an OS has been installed, the point upgrades, such as 10.1.x to 10.1.5 (Final) 10.2.x to 10.2.8 (Final), 10.3.x to 10.3.9 (Final), and 10.4.x to 10.4.10 (Pending), can be downloaded for free.
Leopard 10.5.x, can be purchased at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Leopard System Requirements
Jaguar 10.2.x, Panther 10.3.x, and Tiger 10.4.x, are no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Leopard 10.5.x, will be the most up to date OS.
But, if you know what to look for, Jaguar Full Retail CDs, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased, sometimes less expensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, FastMac, HardCore Mac, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Jaguar and Panther are only on CDs, not DVDs.
The discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info in these links.

Caveat Emptor!
If any are currently available, examine these items very carefully, and if in doubt, ask questions of the seller before purchase!

Panther On eBay
Tiger On eBay
Before upgrading to any OS X version, check to see if your Mac needs a Firmware Update.
If one is required, you must start the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk, not from a CD, in order to install it.
This Power Mac G4 Firmware Update 4.2.8 appears to be the one you would need to install.
Once Jaguar 10.2.x is installed, you can use the 10.2.8 Combo Update,
or if Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version of either OS.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.10 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Jaguar System Requirements
-Power Mac G3 or G4, iMac, eMac, PowerBook G3 or G4, or iBook computer
-128MB of physical RAM
-Supports all video cards shipped by Apple on Mac OS X-compatible systems. Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video cards: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti; Any AGP-based ATI RADEON card. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
-QuickTime Pro functionality requires a QuickTime 6 Pro key. The QuickTime 5 Pro key will not work after this software is installed.
-DVD Player requires a DVD-ROM equipped Macintosh with built-in FireWire.
Review these Apple documents for Panther System Requirements
And Additional Panther System Requirements.
Additionally, Tiger 10.4.x ships on a DVD, so if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you will have to use an alternative method of installation.
Info here Installing Tiger Without A DVD Drive.
And here Installing Tiger Using Firewire Target Disk Mode.
The Tiger Media Exchange Program, referred to in that article, is no longer available.

Recovering Downloads not in Windows Media Center

I download an item and when I try to open it, it goes to Windows Media Center and I can not find it their or any other downloads I have.
I am using Windows 7 and this did not happen in XP - Why?
How can I open my downloads without Windows Media Center?
Thanks for your help
Leon

Hi Leon,
If you are using Internet Explorer, when you click to download a file, choose Save when the download window appears. This will then open another window showing you where the file is going to be saved. If you are happy with this, click Ok. When the download has finished, click Open Folder to go straight to where your file is.
Hope this helps.

WMA files not recognised

Hi,
Blackberry link does not recognise any of the WMA files I have on my laptop, nor does Windows media player 11 recognise the Q10
What can I do to change that?
Thanks
Max

Hey MaxONad,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
If you transfer the WMA files through My Computer to your BlackBerry Q10 network drive, do they transfer successfully? Also try playing the media files as well.
I look forward to your reply.
Cheers.

How do I get missing help files back into XP Media Center?

Quite some time ago my "help" information in Media Center dissappeared. I have restore points, but often go for long periods of time withOUT using Media Center. I cannot find an information about repairing or re-installing Media Center. I have an HP Media Center PC m7470n runing XP SP3, with Windows XP Media Center Edition2005 v. 5.1.2715.3011, Update Rollup 2. If I click help it does nothing. Sometimes I can watch TV & sometimes not. Today all channels are just static, if I go to TV tuner setup, the program locks up, then I have to go to Task Manager in order to exit MC. NO RECOVERY CD'S came with my PC. I had created recovery CD's a long time ago, but when I access PC Tools & Help to recover software, Media Center is not listed there. Also in add/remove, there is no "repair" choice for Media Center. I am NOT interested in doing a COMPLETE Restore. Also if I click "Guide Terms of Service" or "Data Provider Credits" nothing appears. Please help.

Have you tried disconnecting the cable from the PC, restart the PC, and then reconnect and try to setup the TV signal again? I'm thinking it's freezing because the MC is not recognizing the signal, like it knows something is there but it can't figure it out. It also could be you had some sort of energy surge or static buildup. I know this sounds unlikely. But electronics can act weird when they have too much static or some other kind of interference.
It is odd that two of your systems would have the cable signal go out at the same time, but you may be write that it's unrelated....but if it is related, maybe having the cable guy fix one will fix both

Canon cr2 files not recognised in LR4.1

I have Lightroom 4.1 running on a MacBook Air with 10.8.1 OS
It is not recognising the files from my Canon 7D with v 2.00 firmware
The files are recognised however in Bridge v 6
Any solutions?

What is your general work flow? Are you pulling the files directly from the camera? I was having an issue with my new 7D last night where Lightroom insists that it doesn't know what to do with the cr2 files when I was attempting to import them from the camera (Something it happily does with my T3 and has for ages)
However, if I manually dragged the RAW files to their holding directory on the drive myself, and then imported them to Lightroom, everything was just fine.

Canon G7X camera raw files not recognised in Aperture?

I use Aperture 3.5 extensively and have updated to, I think, 6.07 which is the latest update pack but the RAW files are still not recognised in Aperture. Am I doing something wrong or any idea when aperture will be updated for this relatively new camera. Many thanks

The list of cameras that are supported by Aperture is here:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
Your camera is not yet on the list, sorry. You'll have to wait for the RAW support to be released. You amy want to use your camera's software to develop the RAW files and to convert them to another lossless format.

Images files not recognised from Canon 5D Mark III

iPhoto will not recognise any files from my Canon 5D Mark III. I have tried everything - updated all software, purchased the newest version of iPhoto, formatted the memory card, used a different cable, tried a different memory card. Tha battery is also fine
I really have no idea what is going on. I have just upgraded from a Canon 5D Mark II and I never had any problems before.
Any ideas?

Is the memory card recognized if connected to the Mac with a card reader, built-in or external?
Have you applied this updater: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.12?

XMP sidecar files not recognised

I am new to Lightroom and want to migrate an Expression Media catalog to a LR catalog.
The import worked OK for the images (raw/Nef, Tiff, jpeg) , but I have a problem with the IPCT medata ( so far I use only : title, rating, country, copyright).
I don't like the idea of writing this medata into the image files , using the Sync command in Expression Media.
So I created xmp sidecar files for all images nef, tiff and jpeg ('extract metadata / annotations only' command in XM).
Image files and sidecar files have the same name and are stored in the same folder.
LR imported the metadata for raw images only, not for tiff or jpeg.
I guess xmp 'space' is supposed to be inside tiff and jpeg image files, and outside raw files (sidecar files), but is there a way to have LR import consider sidecar files for non raw files ? (strangely, 'sidecar files : xmp' is mentioned in the metadata panel for tiff files, not for jpegs)
Thanks for your help,
Lenanard

but is there a way to have LR import consider sidecar files for non raw files ?
No. Xmp's only for proprietary raw file. For others Lightroom only rads embedded.
(strangely, 'sidecar files : xmp' is mentioned in the metadata panel for tiff files, not for jpegs)
Lightroom just looks at whatever files are there with a common base name. You can even have a TXT file as a sidecar.

Digi@nwhere A/D Plus on Windows XP MCE (not working with Media Center)

I just recently bought a MSI Digi@nywhere A/D Plus from Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815127008 to replace the WinTV by Hauppage that came with my HP Media Center m7640n, after installing the card and drivers, I am able to watch TV in the ArcSoft application that came on the CD, but using the Windows Media Software
I've applied every possible update/rollup for my Windows Media software, but it just says Quote
"At least one tuner that supports a standard (NTSC) TV signal must be installed to configure the TV signal. Please ensure that your tuner hardware is correctly installed, restart the computer, and try again."
What am I doing wrongly that Media Center is not finding the card? Since my software is the 2005 version, from what I've read supports ATSC, and was listed on the Newegg.com and MSI spec as supported.

Windows XP SP2 / MCE 2005 / Vista (when using MCE 2005 OS, an extra 3rd party DVD decoder must be installed) / Windows 7
Is the 3rd party DVD decoder required for device use or just for burning to disc?

Quote from: Stu on 30-October-10, 17:38:44
Did you use the latest driver from here?
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=132&prod_no=1948
Yeah, I've got the "Digi@nywhere A/D Plus BDA driver" installed on my PC
and my "device manager" shows that it's currently the 1.345.9.1009
I can view the TV in the ArcSoft TotalMedia software and everything works fine, but Media Center still fails to recognize the card. I'd really prefer Media Center because of it's enhance EPG & recording scheduling over TotalMedia
Is there something more to be done to/with Media Center? Registry edit or 3rd party add-on that I'm missing?

M2v file 'not recognised' by DVDSP2 - URGENT

Encoded over night from 4.5 to compressor - no probs.
Quit everything, restarted machine, veryfied disk permissions, shut down, restarted.
Launched DVDSP2, imported a few assets, but then the main file - a 3.2gig M2v file was 'not recognised' by DVDSP2.
M2v file opens and plays in Quicktime okay.
Help anyone - can't afford time to rencode...
Cheers

Does the file have the proper file extension? (.m2v) I know that sometimes I have accidentally erased the extension or eliminated the period before the extension. Elementary suggestion and something that you may have already tried, but you never know.
Also, can you let us know what you used to convert the file to MPEG-2? Did you use Compressor and did the file get fully converted? It might be possible that the file did not get fully compressed and, though it can be played in QuickTime, is not considered completed in DVDSP.
Just a couple immediate thoughts.

Premiere Pro CS6 Project Files Not Recognised by Windows

Gidday, I hope someone can help with this problem. Premiere Pro(and After Effects) have worked perfectly on my laptop up until now. Saved PP projects are not recognised by Windows 7. I can open a new project but once I save it, it is not recognised and won't open and I can't reset either as the default programs for those files. The applications are visible in the start menu so it is very strange as all were working fine last week and nothing has been done to the laptop in the meantime.
Anyone else come up against this problem?
Thanks
Steve

Steve, I just had this happen as well.
I used the Programs section of the Windows Control Panel to initiate an uninstall. On Adobe's Unistall setup screen (or whatever it may be called) I selected to uninstall PP only. When it was done I restarted and then installed PP only. And then it was back to "normal."
