Netbook playing internet videos and movies

Can this particular netbook an  eMachines - Netbook / Intel® Atom™ Processor / 10.1" Display / 1GB Memory / 160GB Hard Drive -  play movies from like from netflix or tv website videos?

Maaaybe...  But not likely.  Adobe Flash is a massive CPU hog, and while a netbook can play standard definition H.264 video with the right player...  Adobe Flash is not it, so most netbooks barely have enough CPU power to watch even standard definition content if it is delivered by Flash, if they even have enough.  (e.g. Hulu, YouTube, etc.)
Some netbooks do have an Nvidia ION chipset which provides hardware acceleration for Flash video if you use the latest (version 10.1) Flash player.  (Main example I can think of is the Asus 1201N and its successors.)

    Is the slider all the way to the right??
    And no, if your phone is vibrating when you get texts/calls then you're not in Do Not Disturb.   You would see a Crescent Moon symbol to the left of Battery % if it was on.

  • Hello..Does anyone in this community know what the following error code indicates   0x8002006E   I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.

    I was trying to burn a DVD from files in a burn folder. They were pictures from my Nikon camera. I can play videos and movies from the same dvd player.    Thanks for any help you can offer,

    Thanks for your reply:
    I did find an error log related to the error code and tried all suggestions on the list of recommendations, still no luck            
    I definitely am running OS X10.5.8 (hopefully will be updating later on this month)
    I tried several brand new discs from the same box, still no luck.
    My last option is to go out and try a different brand, guess I'll go with Verbatim this time but I think I'll poke around some more before buying 20 more new discs.

    Tell use what format the video is that you are trying to play.  Or post the url of the video site for others to test out for you.

  • Since updating to 7, videos and movies won't play

    I just uploaded the latest version of iTunes. Since doing so yesterday, the videos and movies I had in my Library won't play. I get the sound, but all I get for a picture is colors. Anyone know how to debug? How do I get to view my videos again?
    Thanks

    First thing to check would be system requirements,
    Right click on My Computer click on Properties,
    Near the bottom it will say what processor and Ram are.
    For all video to play properly iTunes / Quicktime requires 2.0+ GHz Pentium Class processor and 512MB Ram and 32MB Video Ram.
    If you do meet the system requirements, You may want to try uninstalling / reinstalling Quicktime.
    Start...Control Panel...Add Remove Programs
    Remove Quicktime
    Open My Computer
    Browse to c:\Program Files\ and delete the Quicktime folder.
    Go to http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html and make sure that QuickTime 7.1.3 for Windows 2000/XP is selected.
    Download and install, After install, restart and test.
    Hope that works.

  • Getting videos and movies to play on iPod

    I have many videos and movies, mostly mpeg.
    I have been waiting 4 hours, since I clicked export save movie for iPod play? This is taking 4ever!
    I upgraded to the QT Pro to accomplish this task, and the progess window now shows 28% At this rate it will take me years to save the videos I have - for iPod play!
    Any way to speed up? I can only imagine how long it will take a full length movie???

    Eddy:
    QT Pro is incredibly, incredibly slow - BUT the results are gorgeous and you don't have to fiddle with settings.
    If you value speed over image quality, then you will need to download Handbreak.
    Before you do, you will need to read the iPod DVD Ripping Guide, which explains the process.
    If you want to rip the DVDs you own to your harddrive, get MacTheRipper. Doing so speeds up the process of converting to an iPod-compatible format.

  • When i play a video or movie i get a buzzing sound from the speakers. how do i solve this problem?

    I get this  buzzing sound from my speakers when I play a video, or movie either from the internet or playing a DVD. What can I do to solve this problem

    A: There is no such thing as an unlocked iPhone 3Gs in the United States. ALL iPhone 3Gs's sold in the US are locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones, therefore it is not legitimately unlocked.
    B: Sprint is a CDMA network as others have mentioned. They do NOT use SIM cards. The iPhone 3Gs will NEVER work on Sprint. Ever. It's not physically possible.
    Either your Uncle misunderstood or he was mislead. Send it back and tell him to get his money back. Buy an iPhone in India from a supported carrier.

  • No sound on purchased videos and movies after iTunes upgrade

    I have iTunes 10.4.1.10 / Quicktime 7.7 on my desktop, purchased music videos and movies will not play the sound. Non purchased movies play the sound ok ?!?!?
    I have iTunes 10.1.2.17 / Quicktime 7.6.9 on a netbook and all play ok.
    Suggests that there is a configuration problem that theyare not telling the users about. Please can you advise what the problem is and a solution?

    YouTube uses Adobe Flash, maybe you can re-install Flash or right click on the video and check the sound settings

  • How to install videos and movies on to i touch

    i am not able to get any video files on to my i touch.it is giving a message that this format cant be played on your i pod.how to install videos and movies on to my i touch

    Videos must be in a format that iTunes and the iPod can accept. See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2729?viewlocale=en_US
    If your videos are not on the appropriate format, you'll have to convert them. Search this forum for "video convert" and you should find a number of threads about converting videos for use with an iPod.

  • What accessories do I need to watch videos and movies on my Samsung flat screen TV from my iPad model MD511 C/A?

    I want to play videos and movies from the Apps on my iPad with iOS 6.1.2 on my Samsung HD TV, what cables etc. do I need?

    Depends on what input options you have on your TV.
    If your TV has DVI in then you need a MiniDisplay Port to DVI Adapter.
    If your TV does not have DVI in but has HDMI then you need a MiniDisplay Port to HDMI Adapter with Audio Support.

  • Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

    I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
    When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message: 
    "a problem occurred when trying to render page"
    Can anyone help?

    If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
    Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

  • Flash player plays online video and games extremely slow

    I had my pc reformatted two days ago  but prior to that I never had problems like this. playing streaming videos and games gives me extreme pain! especially watching videos on youtube, the video loads fast but it plays like in slow motion and almost frame by frame, so I waited for the video to load completely but when I played it, it's still the same it was annoyingly slow and the play buttonl sometimes is not responding! I install and reinstall the latest version of flash but nothing happened I used IE8 and Mozilla Firefox 3 but both have problems.... but when playing games and videos saved on my hard disk all is very much fine, it plays fast and no fuzz. I also noticed that  sites that uses flash also have lags and plays animations slow... I need help badly! Im using windows xp, pentium 4, 2.80 ghz, 512ram and nvidia geForce 7300 SE / 7200 GS internet connection is 100.0mbps dsl connection, I still have 30gb free space on c: so I wonder why is it like that!  Please help!

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
