MPEG and Windows Media Playback lost

Hi,
Assistance please! I stupidly download and installed MPlayer today. I have now lost any playback of Windows Media format sound and this includes the audio associated with Microsoft's ENTOURAGE email programme. Also, CODEC not found error comes up with WMV files AND some MPEG video files now have no sound. Most of the MPEG will still run on VLC.
"Something" has corrupted a file, but where? I have re-installed QT and WMP without success. Starting the mac (10.4.4) via another start-up drive WILL play those files correctly. I also did a re-installed (archive install) again without luck, so its something left behind in the Library folder I think.
Help please as this is driving me mad.

Dave,
Ok will try Garage Band too. I 'assume' Windows playback and some types of MPEG are converted to a form of midi? I could never work out what form windows media video and audio takes, but did hear that it was a form of mpeg. I assume the sounds with Microsoft's Entourage etc are of the same nature.

Watching mpegs and windows media file

HI
I had asked this a while ago and someone suggested an AVPlayerHD app.
I emailed files to my Ipad and was able to open them with it, somehow.
But it recently did a re-sink. I had to reload the app. Some of the files I origianlly sent were there. But When I email new ones I can't get them to open in it. They download as quicktime and won't open.
any clues???

something wrong?
You want to check the movieTime in an exitFrame handler,
rather than just
once when the sprite begins:
property thisSprite
property thisDuration
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
thisDuration = thisSprite.member.duration
end
on exitFrame
if thisSprite.movieTime > thisDuration -15 then
thisSprite.stop()
end if
end

I have the latest Firmware installed (found it easiest to do using the Software AutoUpdate section of the website) even installed with WMP on my pc.
Also I updated my creative media explorer, which allowed me to convert more video files from the same place. I found this really usefull.
I have?NOT had the problem of my player not being recognised when connected to my pc and unfortunately I do not know how to solve that problem, sorry, hope some one else can help you with that.

Well I figured it out. Turns out if you go to Sync(little down arrow)>DEVICE_NAME>Advanced Options>Quality if you leave it on automatic it will transfer wav files, but if you change it (I did without knowing) then the highest quality you're going to get is 92 WMA.

CoreCentre and Windows Media Player 9

I have a problem with CoreCentre and Windows Media Player 9. When CoreCentre is running, the CD drive stops and starts when I am playing an audio CD with Media Player 9. If I use any other Cd audio player (eg Creative Mediasource Player) it does not happen. I like to use Windows Media Player 9 (I am probably one of the few) but do not wish to turn off CoreCentre.
Can you help me please. I have asked MSI support staff with no luck and also Microsoft Support (They suggested I go into Safe Mode and see if it still happens - of course it doesn't - I am in Safe Mode! - nothing works!!!).
I am running Windows XP Pro SP1 with 865Pe Neo2 board, 1GB DDR3200 RAM and Pentium 4 3.0 GHz.

Well first of all get out of "safe mode"...It's no fun in there ...No really, I can believe that you are not the only one that this happens to ...You have to understand that "CORE-CENTER" is a resource hog!!..As it has to be in order to give you that critical info in "real-time"..So I take it that this prob. only happens when you are running the CD or DVD programs?...Do you have your DRAM Voltage set to 2.7 Volts?..As this always seems to help on these MO-BO'S (i865-i875)...And if that does'nt work why not just close down "CORE-CENTER?..Until you are finnished with you CD'S ..Sean REILLY875

Which Code of avi can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

Which Code of avi also can play in QT Pro and Window Media Player?

Nevermind ... not that simple apparently. I managed to get one of the avi's in the CS5 project created automatically when opening the original CS4 project to show the entire contents but can't replicate the behavior to another project using the same avi. Here are the media start, end, duration and video in, out duration values for the file. Viewing the avi in the source monitor I can see the full 16+ minutes. Odd disconnect between the 2 sets of values.
Any idea would be great!
Thanks,
Lee

Slideshows and Windows Media Player

I'm using Windows Media Player to go through a manually controlled slide show. Are there any keyboard shortcuts to advance and reverse?

CTRL+F (Next/Forward)
CTRL+B (Previous/Back)
There's a whole list of them under "keyboard shortcuts" in the WMP help file. However, there are two of them, and one is more complete (and more difficult to find), so I just stuck 'em right here for you:
Player controls keyboard shortcuts
The following table lists the keyboard shortcuts for the playback controls. These keyboard shortcuts may also be available when Windows Media Player is in skin mode, if they are supported by the skin.
To do this Use this keyboard shortcut
Play or pause a file CTRL+P
Stop playback CTRL+S
Mute volume F8
Increase volume F10
Decrease volume F9
Play previous item CTRL+B
Play next item CTRL+F
Rewind CTRL+SHIFT+B
Fast-forward CTRL+SHIFT+F
Play faster than normal speed (time compression) CTRL+SHIFT+G
Play at normal speed CTRL+SHIFT+N
Play slower than normal speed (time expansion) CTRL+SHIFT+S
Note
Rewind and fast-forward are not available for all files.

N95 and windows media center..

the 2 don`t seem to like each other .. so i`m now stuck with a laptop that will not talk to my mobile .....the laptop says it is a reconized
has anyone got any ideas how to get round this .. please

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...

Creative and Windows Media Pla

Hi- I'm looking in to getting a MP3 player soon and am currently on bouncing between the iPod 20GB, Creative Zen touch or Zen Micro- I'm mainly concerned with battery life and the sturdiness of the player (and the radio feature on the creatives sounds great too)
My question is regarding using Windows Media Player with the Creative Zens.. I read somewhere that it is compatible with these players, does anyone use this program with your mp3 player? I really like WMP (so much more than iTunes) and would prefer to use that to the other programs Creative offers with its players.

Problems with Ipod and Windows Media Player PLEASE HELP

Ok i am not sure if this is the correct forum or not but i am having a problem. I have a Windows computer (Yes a windows computer please dont everyone yell at me) and i have a new ipod 30 gig video. Ok well when i put itunes on it changes all my music on my computer gets changed to AAC format and i cannot play music in windows media player. Ok well that is not my big issue. I make videos for church using windows movie maker and i cannot import music because nothing windows can recognize Itunes format which is AAC. well is there anyway so i can use itunes and still use WIndows Media Player and Windows Movie Maker... Any info will be greatly appreciated. THANKS ALL

I believe Quicktime Pro (which is available for Windoze) is capable of opening any WMP files and then you just export it as iPod format. That is how I get video onto the iPod. The Music and Videos all can be placed onto your iPod through iTunes.
So, if you are creating videos in your program, and want them on your iPod, then that is how you can do it.
Videos on your iPod have nothing to do with the formatting of your music. But, as the earlier post stated, change your prefs in iTunes to import as MP3. But, your videos HAVE to be in MP4 or M4V format to work on the iPod.
Good luck... and I'm a j3susfreak too

Ipod and windows media

Ok I used real player to download and all the music went into the "other" folder, then I used windows media and yet downloaded more but yet it went to the same place.. "other" how can I get my music into the "audio" so that I can listen to it?

If the music is in a file type compatible with iTunes, drag the file to an open iTunes window. I'm don't know what you mean by the "other" and "audio" folders. If the file format is compatible with iTunes, you can drag it to an iTunes window from any location. Once it is in the iTunes library, you can sync the song to an iPod (or copy it there manually).

IPod 5th generation and Windows Media Player

I just got an iPod 5th gen. for my b-day and have a ton of music on Windows Media Player that I want to put on the iPod. When I try to sync, Windows Media Player says to "connect device". I plug in the Ipod but it still says to connect the device. Is the iPod compatible with the Windows media Player or just iTunes? If I can't do this, then how do I purchase and store music on iTunes and keep it all separate from my wife's music?...she has her own iPod and iTunes account with her own music and DOES NOT WANT my "crappy" music mixed with hers. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

No, iPods are NOT compatible with Windows Media Player. There are a variety of other third party programs that are compatible with an iPod, but I would not recommend using them for a number of reasons.

There are several different ways for handling multiple iPods with one computer. One option is to create an entirely new and separate iTunes library. The only downfall to this, is that you will have to manually choose which library to open upon opening iTunes each time. For more help and information regarding these methods, check out this Apple support document.

Iphone and windows media player

I just got the new iphone and would like to load songs from my pc which is windows xp pro. I have windows media player 11. The player does not recognize the device when hooked up. Hope there is an easy solution.

Hi Dean and welcome to Discussions,
to use you iPhone with a Windows PC you have to use iTunes for Windows http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/windows/ and also get the iPhone Configuration Utility from there.
The Windows Media Player is not supported with the iPhone (see requirements here http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html )

ITunes and Windows Media Player

I just installed iTunes 8 on my PC with Vista and now I can't even open Windows Media Player. I did not change the default to iTunes and expected to still be able to use the Windows player. Any ideas for a fix?

OK, found a solution elsewhere on the net.
I searched for ages on Google and on Apple's site and could not find the solution. Combining what was said in this link http://johnhaller.com/jh/usefulstuff/itunes_arist_in_titleissue.asp with another user's mention of absolute paths in M3U playlists was the solution.
First, load your M3U playlist into Excel as a text file. Use Excel's auto filter function to remove any rows that reference the track # or title - they all start with the pound sign. This leaves behind just the path to the actual file and the filename itself. Then, edit the paths so that they're the full absolute path to the file. In my case, the paths were missing the "C:\" designator. Once I did that, I created a new empty playlist with the name that I wanted, and I dragged the modified M3U playlist onto it. Voila! iTunes added the playlist without adding new files to the library. It's a miracle!
