Need help with Media Players, please.

I have a mid-2007 iMac OS X 10.9.3 (Maverick) still in perfect shape, except for what I may have just messed up.
I was trying to watch a video on VeeHD and it said that I needed the VeeHD plug-in.  From some research I did, I learned that the newer versions of DivX don't play well with Apple and that older versions worked better.  So, I uninstalled my DivX player (and everything DivX) from my computer and installed the recommended earlier version 14.  I'm still having the same problem.  I use Safari as my main browser because Firefox was giving me problems with loading times and buffering.
I'm wondering what I did wrong because now, no matter what video content I try to play, I get a gray box with HTML5 in it instead of the usual "Play" button (the triangle).  Once I click on HTML5, it then says FLASH and I have to click that to get the video to load.  Even on YouTube.  No matter what I do now, I can't get this to change back to the way it was and pages in general are taking longer to load and buffer.  I tried repairing permissions.  I'm afraid I may have deleted a plug-in that I shouldn't have and don't know which one.
Does anyone have any suggestions, please?  I'm afraid I've put my foot in it.  Also, which media players should I have or which ones are the best?  Which one is the best default player?  I have an updated Flash Player, Perian, VLC, Mac Media Player, DivX v.14, FLV Crunch, and Quicktime.  Too many?  Am I missing some?  I watch videos on different sites like Firedrive, GorillaVid, BestStream, MightyUpload, YouTube, etc.,  I've never had any problems until I messed around with my DivX player (the only player I had trouble viewing with, until now.)
All helpful, constructive suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated!

That's exactly what it was.  I had ClickToFlash downloaded.  I've had it for awhile and it didn't affect any of my video watching until I uninstalled DivX.  I wonder why.
Now that I understand ClickToFlash, the only thing I like about it is that it prevents videos from playing automatically when a page is loaded.  But, I uninstalled it and the loading and buffering delays went away.  Thanks very much!
I meant to click "This solved my problem" on your post instead of "This helped me."  How can I change that?

    Try turning OFF Mass Storage. Is encryption still enabled for Media Files in your device?
    If it is, Roxio should ask for the encryption password to allow you to access the media card.
    When it does, all media should be visible...

  • Need help with case structures- please help :)

    Hey all.
    I'm currently trying to program a infrared furnace. I'm setting a temperature, subtracted my set temperature from the actual temperature (thermocouple hooked up to SCB-68), and voltage is being sent to the controller of the furnace accordingly. However, I need to hold the set temperature for a certain amount of time. I need help programming this: when the VI reads the set temperature from the thermocouple, it results in a timer running down. When the timer runs down to 0, the While Loop ends. I'm thinking case structures is most appropriate, but if you have a better suggestion, please let me know.
    Thanks

    You should probably implement a state machine.
    The state machine would keep track of the temperature and making ajustments on a timely basis.
    There is a template of a state machine is you select under the File menu > New > From Template.
    You can also look under Help > Find Example > and do a search for state machine.
    There are lots of state machine examples on this forum, some of which may be quite useful.

  • Noob needs help with Media Encoder Settings

    Hi All,
    Please be gentle with me. I am very new to this.
    I am using PPCS4 full version on which I am trying to edit and export video from my Canon HF 10 using their AVCHD format.
    The Mac is a MAC PRO 2 x QuadCore 3.0Ghz, 1 x 320GB SATA and 3 x 1TB SATA disks with a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
    I can import and see the video running in the source window, it can be a bit choppy but i am putting dowm to the lack of RAM (more the way). My real problem is that when I export the files the result is, well bad. I either get what appears to be a line effect every other line on the screen or by using other settings it appears grainy.
    My Cam should be recording in 1080i HD and i expect to be able to put this stuff on a DVD / Blue-Ray disk or file and see as good an image as I see in the viewfinder. This I cannot seem to do.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    J

    Hi
    I don't understand...please let me know...
    did media encoder work before and it just suddenly stopped working ?  Or  is this the first time you tried using it and it just doesnt work from  your original installation ?  In other words , did it EVER work for you using the HD ?
    What source material are you using ? In other words, what type of video.  MOV and AVI can have many different types of video inside those file extensions...they are called "wrappers" insomuch as they can have a lot of different "codecs" being used in the video.  Can you tell us what the video is that you're using when AME fails to work ?
    Also tell more about your computer setup...how many hard drives? Did you set up your system like recommended in many threads here in the forums ?
    There are a lot of really good and smart people here who can help you, but they need as much information as possible so they can begin to understand what is going on with your problem. It does take some time and work on your part to put all that info into a message, but it's worth it because most times problems are solved because of it.
    ps...not meant to be a criticism because you were angry about problem, but some people probably didnt respond to your trouble right away because of your initial mssg being a little bit scary..  most people here are just users like you and help each other. nobody wants to risk being yelled at or deal with someone who is just angry and isn't really supplying enough information to help solve the problem.  That's just my opinion, and I'm glad your response to my mssg was less angry sounding.  Whew !

  • Need help with If statement Please

    Hi guys,
    This is my first time posting and sorry if for some reason i post incorrectly.
    I am having trouble figuring out what I am doing with my if Statement and why the compiler is giving me an error which says 'cannot find symbol';
    Just incase you need to see the code here it is. And please any pointers would help me get back on track. And please dont laugh at the novice code i just started^^;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.*;
    public class Student
         public static void main(String[]args)
         Scanner scan=new Scanner(System.in);
         double std1, std2, std3, num1, num2, num3, num4;
         String a, answer1, name1;
    System.out.println("Welcome to _____ program, press any button to continue: ")
    a=scan.nextLine();
    System.out.println("Good, would you like to enter a grade for a student(y/n)?");
    answer1=scan.nextLine();
    if (answer1 == y)
         System.out.println("Please enter the students name ");
                             name1=scan.nextLine();
                             System.out.println("Please label the test number ");

                             System.out.println("Please enter the grade, "+name1+" recieved");
    std1=scan.nextDouble();
    if (answer1==n)
         System.out.println("Thank you for trying my program ");
    else
    System.out.println("It's obvious you couldn't follow a simple direction good bye ");

    Thanks Flounder,
    I'll keep in mind to edit the code the way you told me too.
    As far as the code goes, what do you mean 'y' is not a string and should be a variable. All I'm trying to do is give a true false statement.
    For example
    if (input==y)
    System.out.println("________");
    And in my code it gives an error stating that y is a variable.
    I dont understand why.
    Thanks much for all your replies.

  • I need help with my setup Please !!! 2800+ athlon xp

    hi all .......... great forum here.....!!!
    I am having probs with my new setup and I am at a wits end of what to do so i'll explain my problem.
    I have just bought a AMD athlon 2800+ cpu for my mobo (KT3 ultra 6830e v.1.0)
    and I am unable to run the chip at correct speed??
    The bios wont boot the computer if I try to set the fsb for cpu at 166 ?? Am I correct in thinking that a 2800+ Athlon needs to be run at 166fsb to get the 333fsb setting?
    I am currently running it at 133fsb and it is registering it as a AMD 2200+ chip ???
    I am quite new to playing about with my bios but at the moment it is set at defaults on everything because i had to reset the cmos jumper about 8 times last night after trying different settings, in the end i gave up and thought i'd ask u guys for help???? Please !!!
    I spoke to the shop i bought the chip from and we got talking about that when i set the fsb for chip to 166 it changed the ram settings to host clock + 66 (host clock was set at 100mhz) thus trying to make my 2100 ram(266) run at 2700(333) specs ?
    Is this the problem why my computer wont boot when it is set to 166 fsb cuz it is asking the ram to be 333ddr when it isn't???
    Is my problem going to be solved if i purchase some 2700 ram ?? if so i'll be quite happy, or is my board just not capable of running this 2800+ cpu on it???
    i read up b4 i bought the cpu and i thought i was able to run this chip maybe i read wrong? any help would be greatly appreciated , oh i also flashed my bios to the most recent msi update which was 5.7 i think (AMI bios) and the flash was succesfull (LOL) very worrying!!!!
    anyway hope i have explained my problem well enough as i myself am very confused!!!!
    Thanks in advance
    Dave

    i have just had a look around the net and it looks like there are two versions of the 2600+ available one with 133/266fsb support and the other with 333fsb ???
    Do u know that if i take my 2800+ back to the shop and change it for a 2600+ cpu if i should just get a normal one(133/266fsb) or get the 333fsb version???
    as that link u posted for the mobo supported cpus only lists the 2600+ as being a 133/266fsb chip ???
    I will get some 333ddr ram as well just incase i need this to allow the 2600+ to run correctly
    Also (sorry to be a pain) but can you explain to me how to change the multipliers correctly to get full power from the chip ?? as i read that a 2600+ comes out at 1.91ghz standard , but i was reading a review where the user was told by AMD that it will run higher by changing fsb or multipliers (or both?) ???
    Do u have to set the fsb to 133 and then change the multiplier to a value to up the speed or just keep changing the fsb alone and leave the multipliers alone ????
    Hope you can help me......
    Thanks once again for your replys..

  • Need help with a BR - Please help !

    Hi,
    I would please request you to help me with your ideas on achievening the below requirement. I have ideas on doing this but I am not able to put together everything to make it work. Please let me know your thoughts. Will be a great help.
    Requirement:
    The requirement is that if the user enters a data value for Account member "P" on the data form at any level (Top most parent level, intermediate parent levels or 0 level) it should work in the following way.
    1) It needs to check at which level the user entered the value for "P". We have a relation that V = P * T. So what I thought is if I dynamically calculate the "V" value everytime for every product I should know at which place they changed it as if they change the "P" value it would change the "V" value too as both are linked. So, basically I am comparing the stored "V" value with dynamically calculated "V" value.
    2) If the "V" value has been changed at that level (i.e. if stored V Dyn. V) and this condition is met then, all the descendants of that current member should get the same P value as entered by the user for the current member.
    3) This should work irrespective of which parent level they enter and should start filling in the values from that level. And if they enter "P" value at 0 level members, then it should leave them as it is without overriding it and should be used in consolidation.
    This is what I could think -
    Please suggest changes as this is not working still as per the requirement.
    FIX(..........)
    IF (@ISDESC ("LB") AND "V"->@PARENT(@CURRMBR(Product)) P->@PARENT(@CURRMBR(Product)) * T->@PARENT(@CURRMBR(Product)))
    P->@CURRMBR(Product) = @PARENTVAL (Product,P);
    Similarly IFELSE for another condition
    ENDIF
    ENDFIX;
    But this is not working for all the cases. Lets say I have 3 levels in my hierarchy for Product and if the users are entering at level 2 it is not working and replacing the input value with its parent value which I am not sure why as it should in first place not enter the loop only as the condition wont be met. Reason, the user changed at level 2 and not 3 so it should do nothing from what I understand.
    Please let me know your thoughts.
    Thanks.

    You can try something like this. Instead of dynamic V account add "P_Stored" member. If "P" account has data copy that data to "P_Stored" at all levels of the Product hierarchy. Based on your post I understand that Product hierarchy is evenly distributed than business rule can be like this:
    FIX(@LEVMBRS("Product",2))
    "P_Stored" (
    IF("P_Stored" != @PARENTVAL("Product","P")
    "P_Stored"=@PARENTVAL("Product","P");
    "P"=@PARENTVAL("Product","P");
    ENDIF
    END
    FIX(@LEVMBRS("Product",1))
    "P_Stored" (
    IF("P_Stored" != @PARENTVAL("Product","P")
    "P_Stored"=@PARENTVAL("Product","P");
    "P"=@PARENTVAL("Product","P");
    ENDIF
    END
    FIX(@LEVMBRS("Product",0))
    "P_Stored" (
    IF("P_Stored" = "P")
    /* I believe do nothing */
    1==1
    ELSEIF("P_Stored" != @PARENTVAL("Product","P")
    "P_Stored"=@PARENTVAL("Product","P");
    "P"=@PARENTVAL("Product","P");
    ENDIF
    END
    FIX(@LEVMBRS("Product",3))
    "P_Stored" (
    IF("P_Stored" != "P")
    "P_Stored"="P";
    ENDIF
    END
    If Product hierarchy is ragged then code should be changed...
    Regards,
    Yuri

  • SQL I need help with this query Please help

    List the names of all the products whose weight unit measure is “Gram”.  Order the list by product name.  Do not use JOINS, but use the IN clause with a sub-query.
    select Name
    from UnitMeasure
    where Name= 'Gram'
    order by Name
    I did this, but it seem that the requirement is different.

    As a guess:
    Select Name from Product
    where UnitMeasure in (Select Name from unitmeasure where name = 'Gram')

  • I need help with and Error PLEASE!!

    Everytime i try to upgarde my itunes 6 to itunes 7 i get and Error Drive E:/ message and then i get a message saying The installer encountered errors before Itunes could be configured.
    WHAT DO I DO? I NEED SERIOUS HELP HERE!

    After installing iTunes 7, it tried to update my daughter's 20G wheel iPod but failed crashing the iPod. After the crash, my daughter got a 1418 error reporting the iPod could not be restored. An iPod salesman sold her a new iPod – blaming her for screwing up her iPod, so much for sales “experts.”
    Her iPod problem was merely caused by upgrading to Apple’s iTunes to version 7 with its dysfunctional built-in updater (OS = Windows XP), not by anything to do with the iPod hardware.
    The fix was to uninstall the iPod in Windows/Device Manager/disk Drives and rename the c:\program files\ipod\bin\ipodservice.resources folder – thereby disabling it - uninstall iTunes v. 7, reboot and install the last iPod updater, dated 6/2006. Then restore the iPod (wiping out everything) using the 6/2006 updater. Next, reinstall iTunes ver7.1, which will report all is well with the restored iPod. (Or, buy another iPod).
    Also, if the “do not disconnect” iPod message is persistent, just go into My Computer and “eject” the iPod to clear the iPod error message.

  • Not a developer but need help with runtime error, please

    Hi, I have downloaded a game called Fishdom, but it will not open. I get a " The application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way" error message. The dialog box is labeled "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library". 
    I checked my programs and I have C++ '05, '08, and 2010. I am using XP SP3.  I don't get this error at any other time.
    I have asked Playrix (game distributor) about it and they seem relatively clueless about how to fix it. So, is there anything I can do to fix this error, or bypass the error so that the game will load? I've tried deleting and reinstalling the libraries and
    that did not help.
    Anything you can suggest will be very helpful, because I do want the game and do not want to argue with them about refunding my money for it.

    Hi CatsinQ,
    Thank you posting in MSDN forum.
    According to your description, could you please tell us when you installed the
    Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library if there have any install errors?
    If you can install the Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library successfully, I think that the issue is more related to the game. Therefore, I suggest you can ask the issue to Playrix
    (game distributor), maybe it will better help you.
    In addition, since the
    Visual Studio General
    Forum which discuss Visual Studio the VS IDE issue, so I suggest you can try Brian’s suggestion.

  • Possibly corrupt prefs.js file. Need help with this file please.

    I've been having a problem with sending/receiving text messages in Yahoo Messenger and I think I've narrowed it to the prefs.js file in Firefox. I'm using Firefox 3.6.25 on Windows XP sp3. The Yahoo Messenger window would not open when the appropriate mobile phone link was clicked. I uninstalled/reinstalled flash without change. I cleared cache, etc., without change. I created a new Firefox profile and I was able to get the Yahoo Messenger window to open. When I copied the prefs.js file from the old profile to the new profile, I encountered the problem again. I opened the prefs.js file with wordpad and noticed that editing should occur in about:config in the currently running Firefox browser. I briefly compared the two about:config tabs from the working profile and the non-working profile. They were significantly different. How do I make a copy of one so that I can paste it into wordpad and make the editing of the other one easier? Where can I find information about the individual parameters and their settings?

    Hi,
    Please see [[http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries this.]
    [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config]
    You can try to '''Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults:''' and '''Make Changes and Restart''' in the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Firefox Safe Mode] start screen which would also hopefully solve the issue. You can also try to manually '''Reset''' to defaults the modified entries by right-clicking on the bold entries (user set) in about:config. Clicking on the '''Status''' column header would sort the entries between user set (modified) and the defaults.
    An easy way would be to create a [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles new profile] and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Recovering%20important%20data%20from%20an%20old%20profile?s=profile&r=1&e=sph&as=s copy/transfer the needed personal data] from the old profile and start using the new profile. You can then delete or troubleshoot the old proile. Firefox stores your personal data and settings in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder another location (profile folder)] separate from its [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory folders/files]. A new profile would have the default Firefox settings in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window Options] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config], and usually would also be empty of '''Extensions''' and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' > '''Add-ons''', and their settings.
