Media Manager Video Support needed

With technology changing daily why can't we watch higher quality homemade videos on the tv?
I use sony vegas to make home movies. Instead of making dvd's, and since I have media manager so I can view photos and videos from my computer to my tv, I figured I could create a library of home videos with easy access. I'm figuring that dvd and blue rays will become a thing from the past and external storage is price just right with quick retrieval.
The problem, Verizon media manager  won't accept MPEG 2 files and if I'm correct is a dvd quality file.
Why can't media manager accept this file?
Or
Do you have a better suggestion?

The question is still relavant.
It's not like we are asking for obscure video codecs like Intel's Indeo.
We're talking MPEG2.. the DVD standard.
I've taken many DV renders from my camcorder and transcoded them into countless formats and few of them want to display in Meada Manager, the only one I got that maintained the correct aspect ratio was ffmpeg (mpeg-4). Even Divx and Xvid isn't working for me. MPEG2 would just be so much simpler.

  • FIOS Media Manager Video Macroblocking - What format/codec works best?

    I watch a video on my PC, crystal clear.  I watch the save video in Media Manager, and it is very choppy, grainy, and blocked.  I have tried every video format.  Does anyone have any advice for overcoming this?  Thanks!

    You're out of luck, video support is just plain broken in AA3. The beauty is, it was broken in AA2 as well, and they didn't bother to fix it between the releases. Amazing. If I was doing my job the way Adobe do theirs I'd be unemployed by now. So, you either accept AA3 the way it is or go back to AA1.5 where the video playback worked reliably. Or use some other software for audio-for-video purposes.

  • V Cast Media Manager for Vista 64

    I get the error message that at this point V Cast Media Manager only supports 32 OS... hence it aborts the installation.
    Please advise what I have to use instead, how can I up or download pictures or other media to my droid 2.

    The Motorola Droid 2 has several different options in sharing your files, pictures, videos, music, etc. I have listed a link below that will instruct you on the different methods you can use.

    Below is one of the more user friendly ways of transferring media/files

    ***Please note this can also be done with pictures and videos. A SD card would be recommended if you don’t have one. If you do not have an SD card, you can purchase one from the link below, or most electronic stores.

  • Media manager and windows media center

    How do I set the Fios Media manager to stream content from the Windows media center to the TV?  I was able to set up media manager on a Vista desktop.  Would like to set it up on 64 bit new laptop that can be upgraded to windows 7.  Please provide step by step instructions.

    I do not think you can do this unless you can convert the Windows Media Center recording to a type of file which is supported by Verizon Media Manager.  Media Center files have an extension of  *.dvr-ms.     Verizon Media Manager ONLY supports .avi, .wmv, .flv, 3gp/3g2, .mpg(non-mpeg 2 videos) and .mp4/m4v  files.  I have been meaning to try this as well,  but have not yet. 
    Can anyone recommend a good and free video converter for this?  
    Blame MS for this... that is using a propriety video format...
    Let us know if successful.

  • Burning DVD's to Media Manager

    I wanted to know if I can burn my DVD's (movies) and load to media manager to watch on Fios?

    Do you mean rip/duplicate your purchased DVDs to a format to use with media manager? If so, I believe the answer is no. Duplicating most of the commercially purchased DVD content is a violation of copy write laws. There is a lot of software that will allow this to be done, but it does not make it legal.
    I have found software that will play the VOB files, but have not found any that will support the indexing of the VIDEO_TS.IFO. I do not believe that Media Manager will support the file formats. I believe you can rename the VOB extension and they may play, but due to the legality of it, I did not pursue the issue.
    I wish they were as easy to manage as MP3s and regular Audio files since you did purchase the right to view them. Thank bootleggers and  Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Even flex view has some sort of copy protection. I have not purchased any or looked into it. I would prefer to have a DVD in my hand. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPAA
    Some DVD do have a digital versions that can be played on smald portables, but usually in a smaller screen size and reduced resolution. This is due to file space limitations on many portables.

    I can understand your point of view and I respect it in regards to Small Basic being a learning language. None the less, let me make a suggestion that would be more ageeable, I think,  to different kinds of people. Why not make different versions
    of this new language: version 1 for beginners that I heard would be out by the end of this year,
    version 2 for intermediates and version 3 for more advanced programmers. All this would culminate to the Visual Basic language. These 3 versions would smoothe out the gap between SB and Visual Basic. Your new programmers would
    evolve at the same time your versions would come out and Microsoft would have a long term policy of loyal programmers. 

  • Media manager, iMac, 10.4.11

    Called the tech assistance - he said my Fios account was not set up for Media Manager and I needed to call billing - which I have not done as I don't believe there is any special approval needed for Media manager to work.  Also searched these forums and could not find any resolution.
    I use the Verizon supplied router and connect my iMac wirelessly for internet - I also tried hard wiring but still did not resolve the problem
    When I try to access MM via my TV, it gives a message "cannot locate PC".
    Please advise, I could not determine if there is a firewall on my Mac blocking it.

    Go to the Security icon in System Preferences and click on the Firewall tab and allow the incoming Verizon MM connection.  Once that is allowed, refresh the DVR menu and it will show up.  Then you will be able to become frustrated over the locking up when playing music, limited playback to MP3 and limited Photo settings.

  • Videos and media manager

    The on-screen guide says that Media Manager allows you to access photos, videos, and music. However the Media Manager application doesn't seem to support video. Is this feature coming soon?

    LOL - Yea.... I went through this... spent time setting it all up and then no video support... which is the ONLY reason this feature is worth anything as listening to music and watching static pictures is better done directly from a source on your TV so I'm confused why anyone would setup something so mildly intricate to do just static displays and mp3 streaming.
    I also talked to verizon about their "wording" as they had the terminology all wrong (not to mention clearly stating video would work). They changed it all within 24 hours and told me that "streaming video ain't gonna happen" ... at least not yet

  • Video Black on V Cast Media Manager

    When I synced my videos to vcast media manager, the thumbnails show up and the videos will play on my phone.  However, when I try to play them on my computer and when I burned them to a DVD, they show up black.  the audio plays fine, but no video.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

    I posted this a while back and it should help...
    Playing the Fascinate's videos on a PC:
    DivX Plus Player  At first I couldn't get the Fascinate's mp4 video files to playback with any of the players on my PC including Verizon's VCast.  After rechecking the phone's video specs, I saw that it was DivX Certified, went to the DivX website, downloaded the free DivX Player Plus, and "bingo" my video files finally played - beautifully - and I didn't have to modify or convert anything.
    Windows Media Player  I went to the Microsoft website and looked up Media Player and found out that it does not support mp4 format, however it did list the audio/video formats that it can play and one of those was WMV.  I then dragged one of my mp4 video files over to the desktop (created a short-cut) and RENAMED the file extension from .mp4 to .WMV, then double clicked on the new icon, and "voila" it PLAYED.  Now I didn't run this thing through any conversion software converting it to another format, I just changed the file extension and fooled Windows Media Player to play it, and it did.  I'll admit I got a warning message after renaming the file but I ignored it, and the file played just as nicely as it did in the DivX player.
    QuickTime Player  This is Apple's player and anyone who has a Mac is using this player, however, you can also get a free PC version from them which I downloaded and to make a long story short, I renamed the file extension of my video to .MOV and guess what?  It played and just as well as it did on the other two players.

  • Audio/Video Out of Sync While Using Media Manager

    While viewing most video files through Media Manager, the audio is a fraction behind the video. It is not significant but it is noticeable. I have looked at the Media Manager sticky but the posts are on all different areas where the Media Manager is flawed.
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to correct this issue? I may just go back to using my original set-up. It's very surprising how bad this application is. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi mhiggins8450, I just read your post about the trouble you're having with the Media Manager.  Have you had this problem since installing the software or has this issue just started recently?  If it's been a problem since the beginning, you may want to look at removing the software and reinstalling a fresh copy.  The newest version can be found at:
    http://www.verizon.com/mediamanager
    If it's a problem that just started happening, you may want to try and reset the units.  The best way to do this would be to power down your PC, unplug the router and unplug your STB.  Leave everything unplugged for five minutes.  From this point, plug the router back in and wait for it to boot up (the Internet light will go GREEN when it's complete).  Now plug the STB back in and wait for the time to display on the front of the box.  Now turn your PC back on.  Test the Media Manager and see what happens.
    If you're still having troubles, please don't hesitate to re-post or send me a direct message.
    Thanks!

  • Suggestion - media manager to stream video out to the internet

    I have heard and seen posting about upcoming beta where one would be able to use media manager to stream video from their PC to the STB in their houses. Cool, needed but sort of expected ....
    what I am really interested is to actually be able to view the content of my DVR when I am remote from home. I would like with a browser to connect home and be able to view the show I missed.
    Now that will be cool .... (its kind of Slinbox service)

    It'll happen, I'm sure. Eventually, we'll be able to even watch Video On Demand on Verizon Wireless cell phones, and when we get home we can seamlessly transfer the streaming video from the phone to the STB/TV thanks to the Verizon One.
    Thank you,

  • 16bit uncompressed video files to large what media manager setting is best

    Hi all,
    I am working with some uncompressed video clips they come in at 25 gb a clip. These are profesional animation clips I am looking to save some disk space and still get near the same quality. I am editing the clips for mobile use so i need to start with a high quality master. any suggestions for what settings i should use with media manager.
    Thanks

    Why .avi?
    Final Cut Pro works with QuickTime .mov files.
    The video card in your MacBook Pro will be fine. The way to avoid rendering is to make sure that your Easy Setup and Sequence Settings match your source material.

  • Nokia Windows media video support

    Nokia Windows media video support any program to watch.

    Is this one of those puzzles that you have to arrange the words to make a sentence?
    Can you give us a bit of basic detail such as what phone you have?
    If you are asking what program you need to watch WMV files then the answer is none. The only phones that support this are some of the newer FP2 models like the N96 & N85. For older models there is no software that lets you watch WMV's.
    If thats not what you are asking then please try to explain in more detail exactly what you want.

  • Need general media manager. imedia ?!!

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a way or a software that would let me manage all my media (photo video, music, document) all in one place.
    Like a bridge between iphoto, imovie, itunes, etc. The idea is that I could create albums, folders or events, and say for example that I want those specific photos, videos and music to be part of it.
    It is a little like if I create an event in Final cut pro and put in it videos, photos and music that I need for a project so I can see, access then quickly and create the movie.
    I could them create for example a family christmas 2012 event, see everything related to it. I could them simply import this events in imovie as one events, edit it and share it. It would make very quick and simple to organize, find, work with and share everything.
    Is there a software that can do that?
    Thanks

    Media Pro 1 may do what you want.  It can catalog, videos, photos, Word, Excel, and iWork files, text files, pdf files, fonts, html files and more.  There's a demo version available (28 days I believe).

  • Quaicktime Videos will not Play in Media Manager/FI​OS

    Quicktime videos taken on an iphone are not available to select from using "browse" in Media Manager. FIOS/Windows7. Other older videos taken using a Blackberry work

    I don't think Quicktime video is supported.  See http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/tv/fi​ostv/guide/enhanced+tv/questionsone/124966.htm.
