My video wont play on  a Mac

Hi Experts,
Using Flash 8, I have created a video by importing an flv
file that I previously encoded using the Sorenson encoder. I
published the video to a folder on my hard drive that contains all
the files related or pertaining to the video.
I burned all the files in the folder to a CD. (just the files
themselves, no path hierarchy)
The swf file plays just fine on my PC, either from my hard
drive, or from the CD, but my partner cannot get it to run from the
CD on her Mac, using Flashplayer 6. She just gets a new, blank
window. (I have advised her to update her player)
I found a Macromedia support article that would seem to
pertain. It says that you can't run swf files on a Mac from a
non-system drive because it doesn't recognize slashes in the path.
The work around is to change the slashes in the path to colons.
That would make sense if the CD contained paths to the files, which
it does not.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue? The goal is to make
a CD containing a video that anyone can play with a fairly modern
computer and minimal computer savvy.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Richard

You could try clearing the system history and cookies. Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
If that doesn't work, get a new browser. Google Chrome is available for iOS, I recommend getting it.

  • Certain embedded videos wont play

    certain embedded videos wont play. Flash type. There's a code UT-8 type?
    example for the Vindictus game, all the little flash videos of game play wont launch. Its a shock wave file I guess, and the problem is, I cant launch the game if the buttons dont appear!

    That is a FLV file played by a Flash player.<br />
    Your More system details list shows that you have the Flash plugin.<br />
    Do you have problem on other sites with Flash?
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • After new update my videos wont play and all my ph...

    Hi All,
    Pretty please could someone help me. I have only just updated my software, but all of my photos (phone and sd card) appear to be blank. And my videos wont play. Something like Videos cannot be played at this time'? I've noticed my WiFi and phone signal is awful now too.
    Can anyone please help me retrieve my lost data?
    Many thanks, Dee

    Congrats on your first post, fed_upp. BTW, may we know the phone model you are using? When you say new update, are you referring to the Lumia Cyan or WP7.8 update? Have you already tried switching off/on your phone and re-inserting your memory card to check if there's any difference? About the phone's signal, are you able to see any changes when moving the phone in one place to another? For the Wi-Fi signal, are you unable to connect to any available Wi-Fi network? 
    We'll wait for your response so we can help you further.

  • How come my videos wont play in itunes on my computer?

    I tried to play back my videos I bought from the iTunes store and the ones I already had in the library. No videos (tv shows or music videos) just wont play. And I'm on a PC not a Mac. Thnx.

    Are you getting an "iTunes has stopped working" message when you try to play the videos?
    If so, try the following user tip:

  • Online Video wont play

    Please help,
    my new i mac, thats 91 days old, wont play online video from the apple.com website. the audio plays, however the video continuously shows like its loading. I can get the video to play sometimes when i open it in the dashboard. however i am not able to close them, so now when i open dashboard they play all at once....what do i do??

    Welcome to the forums.
    It's good to hear you have a good relationship with your wife.
    In all seriousness though I would check that your firewall settings are allowing the connection.
    When you browse normal pages do the video adverts show up?

  • 80g video wont play through tv at all

    i know this seems like an age old question...but considering im fairly tech savvy ive been puzzled as to why my ipod wont play music through my tv. i have a standard Y cable that works just fine when connected to my home theatre but will not play through my tv...at all, not just video. no music or anything. anyone know why?

    Er, by Y cable, you mean a standard RCA to 3.5mm cable?
    If yes, you'll need to plug each plug into the video (yellow) port and see which one carries the video signal. Apple switched around the signals for each cable, I think. Also, make sure the iPod is set to NTSC output in the Video settings screen.

    Hi eduardoapalla
    Thank you for your 1st post and welcome to the forums.
    What file format are you trying to play? Please be sure that the video file is the correct format and is compatible with the N8 playback (DivX/XviD/MP4/H.264/H.263/WMV player)
    Your memory card must also be FAT32 format if it is not already.

  • HT203180 Video wont play on itunes or sync to iphone

    Im an amateur boxer and one of my fights was videoed for me and put onto dvd, i then extracted it from the dvd and converted into a file using windows movie maker, but the file wont play through my itunes and therefore i cant put my fight on my phone ! I dont get a error message saying it cant be played or anything, it just doesnt come up ! When i click open with itunes, itunes will load and then just show my library ?! Any suggestions ? Thanks

    I mean that in the app store, the description of the app tells you what kind of hardware (what model phone) and what version of iOS the app requires to install and run... does your phone meet those requirements?

  • Youtube videos wont play after using Quicktime (which changed my preferenaces) how to fix?

    I played a video in Quicktime on my pc (against my better judgement). Quicktime went through my FF & changed everything to be played in QT, now online videos, specificallt Youtube, wont play in my FF browser (3.6.14).
    I get sound but no picture.
    What do i change back to fix this?I have changed everything to either WMP or VLC to try & get it to play with no luck so i must be missing something?

    I had this problem and searched it and came up with a solution that works for me.
    First, I only started having this problem for the last few days, this came after a multitude of updates from Adobe and Windows.
    The videos would only play (though the sound kept playing) if I kept moving the mouse cursor over the video.
    My solution, I went into Tools \ Options \ Advanced \ Network ... and simply cleared the Cache Web Content. I might have also deselected Override Automatic Cache Management ... but regardless, this is the solution that is still working for me.
    I should also add that when FireFox gets flaky that's where I always go and that seems to solve any strangeness. Just passing this on.
    EDIT ---- Just now I experienced the same thing. I obviously did not fix this issue. Sorry for this unnecessary post.
