Media Playback With Windows Media Player and Quicktime

I just bought a mac book. Is there any way to have quicktime not the default player or to have it bring out the video from the safari window. because there are some sites that i go to and it just starts playing quicktime inside the browser video but i want it big in its own window. and is there anyway to just have the video play without the download box come up and just have the video play in whatever player without manually going to the hard drive and choosing which program to open the video with? thank you for any help

Microsoft AVI with codec set to None.
Or you can install the free Lagarith or UT codecs. Both work very nice with PP. Both use lossless compression, so you won't lose any quality, but will get smaller files (especially when using a YUV mode).

Real Player, Windows Media Player and Quicktime plugin problems - HELP!

All I want to do is view game trailers in different website in either real, wmv or mov etc. I have downloaded the programs (free ones) and installed them but they still persist not to work in the browsers. The program themselves work fine just not in the browsers where I use them the most. I have also checked the internet plugins file on my computer and they are in there. What can I do for them to work??

Safari, Windows Media Player, and Proxy Servers

I'm trying to watch streaming video of comedy central's Daily Show but its not working. I hit play and I get "-19422" in the play bar. I can't find anything about this anywhere online. I used to be able to do play these videos on my old computer but have had no success. It has to be in Windows Media Player format. I have Windows Media Player and have streamed from other sites. The only thing I have found is that the comedy central page requires a proxy to view streamng video. I have contacted my ISP and they say no such proxy is needed and I should be able to view the page. Am I suppose to guess on the proxy server? The comedy central site says it supports safari and apple computers but it doesn't seem like it. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have any ieas for solving this problem?
PS- This is what comedy central says.... Also my ISP is Time Warner Cable's RoadRunner
"If you are on a Mac, make sure your Player is set to only use the proxy, and disable TCP or UDP checking as this will cause timeouts.
If you choose the Use proxy option and do not know the proxy server name or port number you should use, contact your Internet service provider or network administrator. "

Hi,
The videos work fine for me with Safari 2.0.2 and OS X 10.4.3. The section of the help file you quoted appears to be referring to a corporate firewall setup rather than a typical home setup - you shouldn't need to change any of the defaults for Windows Media Player.
A Google search for that error code you received mentions Flip4Mac in a couple of places - do you have that installed?
If so, try disabling it to see if that is the cause of your issues.

Windows Media Player and OS X - No sound

Hi,
I am running OS 10.4.3 on an iMac 20" 1.8. I have the latest version (9) of Windows Media Player and have been using it fine for the last while for times that I can't use anything else. Suddenly, last week it would not play audio on any of the video clips I have. When I launch a WMV file, the player gives me the message:
"This file may not play correctly because it was compressed with a codec that is not supported".
These are the same files that played fine last week, and still play fine on my MacMini. I have deleted WMP and reinstalled it. I have deleted all preference files that I could find and the WMP codec file in the Library/internet plugin folders, and re-istalled again. No luck. I keep getting the message and the file plays with no audio.
Any suggestions from some of you wise Mac users out there?
Thanks,
Tyler

This should fix the problem:

Playing back Recorded TV Programs using Windows Media Player and only hearing Sound from Front Speakers

Hi All,
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit Service Pack 1 with Windows Media Player 11 installed.
When I click on one of my Recorded TV Programs to watch and hear, I can only hear the Sound coming from the Front Speakers.
When I right-click on the Program and open it up in Real Player Cloud. I can indeed watch the program and hear Clear Sound coming from all 5 Speakers plus the Subwoofer.
What setting do I change to use Windows Media Player and have sound coming from all 5 Speakers and the Subwoofer?
Thank you!

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for the reply.
The link you put up, takes me to the page, but
"The requested URL /surround/www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.wma was not found on this server."
That was WaterFox.
The webpage cannot be found
This in Internet Explorer 11.0
The Files in question were Recorded by Beyond TV to my Local Hard Drive.
When I open the recording in Real Player Cloud, installed on my computer, not streaming over the Internet, I hear it correctly played.
When I use Windows Media Player, nothing can be heard from the Rear Speakers.
Speakers and Hardware are working fine.

Windows Media player and flash player conflicting

Hello,
I have a problem with watching streams (television programs)
on the internet. I think this is caused by conflicting roles of
windows media player and flash player. When i don't have installed
flash player i can watch the streams. When i install flash player,
i see only green and red blocks on the respective screen. I don't
know where the problem lies. I have installed Windows Media player
again, (also Flash player) but this hasn't worked. The streams work
with Mozilla firefox.
I hope you could really help me,
Sincerily,
Tuncie

Hi Tuncie
Verify that Windows Media Player is not set as the default
player for all content in Firefox including Flash.
Also, please respond with a URL for testing.

Can I have my itunes play on my windows media player, and on an MP3 player?

I have a library of music, videos etc on windows media player and am comfortable using it, so my question is can I export my itunes to play on media player.
I also have several MP3 players, and would like my itunes to play on them. Everything I read on itunes if about iphones and ipods, and macs. I have just an old cell phone, MP3 players, and a PC?

Yes. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library and point it to the folder where the music is stored. Start with one folder so you can see how it works. iTunes will add whatever is compatible.

iTunes is only designed to sync Apple devices. However, the songs in your iTunes library can be used for other purposes. Follow the instructions that came with your player.

I have imported a WMA-file in Audio-1 track of PE – still no sound to hear. But I can see the sound in the track. (Like in my video-clip) Therefore I also think it is a setting in PE. Will you be so kind to tell me where I have to look? Because I am no expert. Or is it possible that I have to activate anything in PE? It is first time that I will work with PE 9.
Further information: The original sound of the Mini-DVD is 5:1 surround. After first problem I have changed Nero to export in Stereo, but this did not solve the problem.
Thanks and regards

Safari opens with a pop-up 'update media player' and starts to download it.

Mid 2010 iMac 8Gb memory. OSX 10.9.5.
Each time I open Safari a pop-up appears telling me to update the media player and asks me to click OK. the progress bar shows it is trying to download it from kgezz.easyddl.hairdreer.xyz. I quit Safari asap. General info from searches (in Firefox!) shows media player updates are used to put Trojans or other malicious control software in place.
What is the best course to take? I feel I should remove Safari and all files associated with it so it can be reinstalled but CleanMyMac2 doesn't list Safari in the programmes that can be removed completely and I'm aware just dragging the app to Trash doesn't remove all associated files, which may be causing this problem.

1.Quit Safari.
   Relaunch Safari holding the shift key down.
2. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click “Remove All Website Data”.
3. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.

You do not. The iPod will only sync to iTunes.

Apple TV as a media player and karaoke

I am thinking to get one as my media player and karaoke, can I switch audio from stereo to left or right mono? What format does it play? Quicktime only? Thanks

Here are the specs you asked for...
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
As far as playing only the left or right, you'll have to have your audio system or TV take care of that balance, assuming you don't want to unplug anything.

Cisco Media player and Wireless Home Adudio DMC250 stopped seeing my computer music Folder

I do not know when but cisco media player and my DMC250 stopped seeing the music folder in my PC. It does not appear anymore as a Music Library
I have reinstall LELA, Cisco Media Server and Cisco Media Player and reconfigure the DMC250 and nothing seems to work. Cisco Media player and the DMC250 only see the USB drive attached to the DMC250. Please Hellp!! I do not know how to fix this issue
Thanks!!

How about the Cisco Media Server software, is it still running? Try disabling your computer firewalls as well for further isolation.
Streaming Music with the WHA Devices

Want to download information but tries to do it in media player and says not possible, want to change setting but how???

When I try to read an internet document in PDF or another format it tries to read it in Media Player and then says it's not possible. This means I cannot access information I need. I looked at every Menu I can, including Help and cannot change this setting. Please help me, I've obviously inadvertently chosen this option and now can't unchoose it. Please help me, it's very frustrating!!

Thank you. Actually I stumbled across that solution myself last night, really not having a clue but browsing through all the drop down menus and did what you said. The only option that seems to work is if I use Internet Explorer. Haven't downloaded any documents yet, but hopefully it will work next time.
