Mpe file from email won't play in realplayer or quicktime

12-10-05
realplayer (10.0.0 v331) sayz "RealPlayer cannot play this media file with the installed version of Quicktime".
quicktime (version 7.0.3, Player Version 7.0.3) sayz "Alert. Quicktime cannot open the file: xyz.mpe it is not a file that Quicktime understands (-2048).
I've set "open with" via "get info" and set preferences in both realplayer and quicktime to no avail. (I don't find "mpe" referenced in the mime types in quicktime preferences). Nothing in the logs.
All this on my eMac Mac OS X 10.3.9 with the mpe file dragged to the desktop.
Any thoughts?

Mpegs in WIndows sometimes have a .mpeg extension and for some reason OS X doesn't seem to want to recognize such files are mpegs. Other people with this problem have been able to rename the video with a .mpg extension and then QT and OS X suddenly recognize it as an mpeg. Give it a try.

  • Wav file in email won't play

    I got an email with a brief wav file ( telephone message) and they always play on iPhone, but wouldn't play on iPad. Why?

    Are you sure you did download the entire message? The built-in media player (QucikTime) should play WAV files and no third-party apps should be required.
    See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3652515?start=0&tstart=0
    Nevertheless, if you in no way can make it work, let me know and I compile a full list of WAV-capable third-party players (there are a lot of them).

  • Quicktime files from PC won't play in FCP

    Hi
    I am capturing and keying on a PC (Serious Magic's Ultra) and exporting various kinds of quicktime files: animation, uncompressed etc.
    However, none of these files seem to play in FCP, even after rendering. An icon does appear in the time line, and I can play it in a Quick time player but not in FCP(5) - I only get sound.
    Any help appreciated!
    Trevor

    ANY time you move between PC and Mac there are inherent problems- but animation ought to work for you. Usually the biggest problem is a proprietary codec on a pc that isn't supported in Mac QT. I'd take a careful look at the settings on the PC app in terms of what you are actually outputting. There might be something really strange...

  • After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

    After the Firefox update this week (Sept 7?) links from emails won't open. I get an error message. So I've temporarily set IE as my default browser, and the links work.

    Hi everyone, I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I have been very very frustrated by this problem. [I could not create new windows, and anything that opens new windows, such as trying to see what Add-ons you have etc would not work]. I read about changing screen alignment to the top... I have one screen so the option does not exist. The above messages would not fix this problem. I searched hard and did find a solution in the end. I read stuff about removing Add-ons until the problem is fixed, but its simply not the case.
    First of all open Firefox. next go to options: Help --- 'Restart with Add-ons disabled'. Tick the box for add-ons, restart firefox. Next go to Tools --- Add-ons. Next (In the Add-ons Manager' click on 'Plugins' on the left hand side pane. Look for the small blue writing that says 'Check to see if your plugins are up to date'.
    Now notice it should say 'Missing Flash'. "For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version". I followed this, reinstalled Flash and it now works as it always did, no problems. For people where the above fix didn't work, try this one out. Hope it helps people!

  • Unable to download pdf files from emails or websites

    I used to be able to download pdf files from emails and websites on my Windows vista 2007 computer, but am now unable to save or download them.  Is there something I need to adjust in my security system which hasn't changed?

    If you're using Vista it's the same procedure as with Windows 7 (which I use) From Tools>Internet Options, click the Programs tab, and then click the Set Programs button. In Windows 7 this will open the Control Panel>Default Programs window. From there you want to click Associate a file type or protocol with a program. Scroll down the list to Portable Document Format (PDF). click it and click the Change Program button. Choose Adobe Reader as the default program, click Ok and then PDFs will download instead of opening in IE.

  • Printing pdf files from emails

    I am unable to print some pdf files from email attachments... The comment box says that I have not selcted pages to print but I have in the print box and I can't see a way to do so in the file itself...Any suggestions

    I think you'd have to change the paper stock attributes on the printer, commit that with Adobe Reader quit, and then run Reader. There is no possibility of passing this as a parameter. I don't think even Acrobat Pro has this capability, it's entirely in the hands of Windows.  (Note that Reader is unsupported outside an interactive session).

  • How can i dowload pdf,docx attachment files from email app?

    There is no option to download pdf,docx files from email app.

    Hi francis29,
    Viewing and downloading unsupported file-types is not possible in the current version of Firefox OS. We are aware of this issue and our engineering team is working on adding this feature.
    You may look at [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=825318 bug 825318] to track the development of this feature.

  • HT4991 When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

    When I try to import word files from email it says importing then few seconds later shuts pages app

    Peggy, thanks for the try. I think you are on to something about the multitude of sections in the sample document.
    I think the many many sections are a result of the formating to make the word document look just like the legal case book (multiple columns of text, special sections, graphical headnotes summaries etc). The doc opens just fine in Word for windows 2000, XP and 2003. Maybe I can request a NON columnar flowing word doc that will be possible to open with Pages 3.
    In the meantime, the other good options for these legal document downloads, PDF and HTML are not good options for processing the files with Pages. I sure hope the interoperability of Pages 3 is enhanced soon. I would rather not buy the Office 2008 for the Mac if I could stick with Apple's products.
    By the way, do you know...... is there a business, marketing, or technical reason (maybe all 3)) why Text Editor seems to have greater capabilities than Pages 3 (like HTML and similar functions)?
    Thanks, Brian

  • Movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible

    downloaded purchased movie won't play on computer say quicktime is incompatible. I get this message for Hannibal Rising: This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

    First, thank you for taking the time to respond.
    This is the recorder I have: Sony DVD Recorder & VHS Combo PlayerRDR-VX515:

    The specs stated that it does record MPEG video.
    The Mac mini is a super drive w/ + & - capability. I guess I'll have to buy another recorder to get this to work.

  • Video from iPhone won't play on iPad

    I received a video from iPhone in an email but iPad won't play it? Any way to get it to play on iPad.

    I appreciate what you are both saying -- but it is not the music that is the problem.  The video itself is NOT blocked - you can view it on a computer -- but when you try to view it on ipad/iphone the message says, "not available on this platform".  Here is a link to a video I did in Elements 9 on Tuesday:

    Here is the link to the video done last night in 11:

    The "raw files" are both adobe flash.flv -- it's just not making sense...

  • DVD from PE9 won't play in computer let alone another DVD player

    I produced a 7 minute video in HD. I can play it on my computer either as HD or at standard res from files produced via the "Computer:Export files..." on the Share menu. I need to produce a standard NTSC DVD and when I burn using the "Disc: Burn DVD..." I get a message that the burn has been completed successfully. Yet the DVD will not play on my computer if I reinsert in in the same drive I just used to burn it, and won't play in a regular DVD player either. The computer doesn't even see the disc if I search for it. I've read a lot of stuff about DVD-Rs and booktypes and bitsetting but this doesn't seem to apply here since the computer can't read its own disc. Burning a copy of the files burned to folders doesn't work either. The DVD burner burns everything else just fine. I am using DVD+Rs. Would it make any difference if I used DVD-Rs? Or is there anything else anyone can suggest? I am using Windows 7 Professional. Thanks.

    >burning to a folder
    If you are able to write (not burn) the folder structure to your hard drive, you may use the FREE http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download to write files or folders or ISO to disc
    Put a commercial DVD in your drive and take a look with Windows Explorer to see the folder structure and the types of files... and make sure what you write to a folder from PE is similar

  • Song imported from iTunes won't play in GarageBand

    I downloaded a song into iTunes and it plays fine. Then when I put it into garageband, it won't play any sound. The preview of the song on the side in garageband will play, but once it's put in as a track it won't play. I've tried restarting garageband and the whole computer and I'm fully updated. Any ideas on what's wrong?

    well, the crashing problem persists. the flat line persists with no sound. ive let the song play for its entirety and replayed it. still no sound from the flat line. i think there is an inherent problem with the importation of these files. maybe an update patch or something might help. i dont know what the crashing is about, but its annoying. Anyone out there knows whats up?
