Newbie. local video player issue, please help.
Hi,
I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 for a few months but I can't seem to figure out my problem and was hoping someone here with much more wisdom could please help me.
I am creating a local site, just for use on my personal computer, to better organize my computer as well as my life.
I am trying to link some videoes I have on my computer so that when I click on them they will open in my default media player (VLC), however I seem to only be able to get them to open on another webpage.
ie. I click on my morning workout video and instead of it opening in VLC player my site goes to a new page that plays the video there (with no controls). Is there a way I can get my video player to open the local file instead of it being sent to a new page? The files are in .avi, .mp4, .mp3, .flv, .mpeg format.
I know I could simply find all the files individually when I want to watch them but that would defeat the purpose of creating this site to organize my computer.
This issue is driving me crazy. I would really appreciate any and all help! Thank you!
Yes, I hope they will provide that option in the software update asap.

Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-
The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
THANKS GUYSTHANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...
BUT YEAH THANKS AGAIN...
WASTE OF TIME THIS IS... -
I have asked now twice!!!! Did iTunes make a change that makes AUDIO cd's not read on older cd players? The iTunes AUDIO discs I burn in mixes no longer play in my 2004 Chrysler, 2006 Toyota, or my home cd player. PLEASE HELP.

Where soes someone go to get offical help wth Apple iTunes?
You would call Apple Support, for which you would probably be charged for the support.
Note that just because those CDs work with your old computer doesn't mean that it's still not an issue with those CDs and the burner in your newer system. Some CD brands just don't work well with some optical drives. If you haven't tried a different brand, and if you're using CD-RW trying CD-R, I would suggest you give that a try just to eliminate that possibility.

Hi there,
Hope you can help me out here.
I've recently purchased a 15" i7 Macbook pro. The machine is but 3 weeks old &, of course, very well looked after.
A few days ago, the built-in trackpad started behaving eratically. Cursor moving by itself, not responding to touch, clicking and opening things involuntarily. Not good at all. Many users seem to have had this exact same issue.
These problems seemed to miraculously stop after a few re-boots and possibly a software update? I really couldn't tell you what resolved the problem.
Unfortunately I now have a totally different problem.
There is a thin, possibly 8 to 10mm horizontal strip across the centre of the trackpad that no longer responds to touch. If I move my finger from the botom of the trackpad upwards (or vice versa), the cursor will stop momentarily as it passes over the horizontal strip. The buttons are fine and the rest of the trackpad is fine. For the moment, I've increased the cursor acceleration so that I can at least navigate round the screen with a smaller area of the trackpad. USB magic mouse seems to work fine.
If anyone else has experienced this &/or found a solution for this issue, please help me out here. I have rifled through endless threads about MBP trackpad issues with little success & do not live close to an apple store/genius bar.
This is a 3 week old machine that cost me a small fortune. To be getting software/hardware issues so early on in it's lifespan is really rather worrying for the future.
Appreciate your help here.
JI'm not sure what caused this, but I extended my lunch break and drove the machine down to the Westfield apple store. I didn't have an appointment with the Genius Bar but I managed to persuade one of the staff to speak to a technician in the workshop. She came back into the store and told me that they had replacement trackpads and that , considering the machine was only 3 weeks old, the technicians kindly sandwiched the repair into their timetable at zero cost. 2 Hours later, I now have a perfectly functioning trackpad/machine.
I can't thank them enough.
My only gripe is that I couldn't speak to a technician to find out what the problem was, how they resolved it or what causes these issues for future reference. Understanding why these problems occur often helps to build your own framework of understanding. Most of the threads i've read about trackpad issues are largely unresolved with people only speculating the problem/solution.
The initial issue I had with the trackpad's erratic behaviour seemed to be a well known problem that many are associating with a trackpad firmware update. Unless by pure coincidence I had an immediate & major hardware fault after it, which is unlikely, my personal guess is that the two issues were related. -

SamitHi Venu,
We can't add authorisation objects on Individual servers.We need to add authorisations on BWD ie Dev system and transport to BWI QUA system.This is the Process we need to follow as per our rule set.
So,As the problem mentioned above if i add some auth. objects on BWD DEV system and transport it to BWI QUA system,it is getting transported Successfully to BWI,but the auth.objects what i have added on BW DEV system is not found on BW QUA system.
What could be the problem for that,Is that the problem with transports like TP error or is it related with some tables of auth.objects...................
Could u please analyse the problem and tell me the solution for this..........
Thanks Much

Headerrenderer issue -Please help
Headerrenderer issue -Please help
hi
I have a datagrid and I am doing a custom sorting on the grid(by getting data from DB).
I achieve this by capturing the headerrelease event of datagrid .In thee venthandler I will query from DB and do event.preventdefault to prevent standard grid sorting.
Now I need to display my own custom ascending/descending arrows in the header.i have created an header renderer for this,
In the headerrenderer I am lsitening to the headerrelease event of datagrid and in the eventlistener, as per the sortfield, i am trying to make the sort arrow visible/invisible.
But somehow making the sort arrows visible/invisible is not working.The initial arrow works fine.it is shown the correct column(Name) as done in the init() method.
The eventhandler is invoked on clicking the column headers and all the alerts are shown.
Please see the headerrenderer code below and help me.(code is not complete only the relevant part is included)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:HBox
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" width="100%" height="100%" horizontalScrollPolicy="off" creationComplete="init()" implements="mx.controls.listClasses.IDropInListItemRenderer">
public function init():void{
headerLabel = dataField.label;
_dataGrid.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,sortChanged,false);
if(_dataField.localeCompare('Name')==0)asc.visible=true; }
private function sortChanged(e:DataGridEvent){
var dg:DataGrid=e.currentTarget asDataGrid;
varcolumn:DataGridColumn = DataGridColumn(e.currentTarget.columns[e.columnIndex]);if(_dataField.localeCompare(e.dataField)==0)
if(asc.visible ||(!asc.visible&&!desc.visible))
Alert.show(
'in..');
asc.visible=false;

<mx:Text text="{_headerLabel}" />
<mx:Image source="{ascIcon}" id='asc' visible="false">
<mx:Image source="{descIcon}" id='desc' visible="false"/>
</mx:HBox>I got the solution!!
i need to assign the headerrendereer to the columns dynamically inorder for this to work:
if anybody wants to know details of solution let me know -

hi everybody, im an actionscript 3 programmer, with some
experience but im quite desperate with an issue that i can´t
solve, please help help, if you know the solution to my issue my
email is [email protected], thanks so much, i explain now
* im building an application in which i have to show many flv
videos dynamically, i have tried with both systems, with the
FLVPlayback component being created dynamically and with the
simpler netconnection and netstream etc way, the thing itself works
no probs , the videos get created no probs at all, now the problem
is that videos stop playing just after they start, or they play a
few times and then they freeze or sometimes they dont even load at
all, this happens both locally and remotelly
* i read about the MIME video/x-flv issue, i have apache in
my computer so i set the MIME right there and i still have the
problem, so it doesnt seem that the MIME issue is the problem, even
more:
* first, to provide context, i have a PC with Windows Vista,
and Flash CS3 Professional, and Flash CS3 Video Converter and Riva
FLV Encoder, locally i have Apache and PHP installed, remotely a
fasthosts server
* i have found that if i encode the videos without audio!
they almost always work, but here comes the desperating thing, if i
encode them without audio, they always load, but they still freeze
sometimes.... so if videos have audio, often they dont even load,
if they dont have audio, often they work perfect and play, but
still after playing 2 times maybe they freeze and they dont play
more
* i have executed my application in the flash environment, in
a browser locally, locally in localhost through apache, and online
in a fasthosts server;
* i thought i had found something when i realized that if i
encoded the videos with no audio they seemed to play well no probs,
but i have found that even then they will freeze and stop moving
after a while often
* to encode i have tried many things! the Flash CS3 video
encoder with different settings, and also the RIVA FLV Encoder
* i have also , thinking that the kind of video source could
be important, i have encoded a couple of different sources with
same results, i encoded uncompressed AVIs and also wmvs
please anybody can help, as im quite desperate with this,
thanks very much, my email is [email protected]
all best and thank you
Javhi again, i have noticed also that sometimes videos play well
in Firefox, and not in explorer, why could this be? ive heard of
other people with similar problems but didnt find a solution
anywhere, some tests work perfect in firefox online and not at all
in Explorer, any idea?
its all coded in actionscript 3
thank u very much

Newbie problems installing Flash 11 and windows 7/SWF issues-PLEASE HELP!
I am VERY new at Dreamweaver (llike four days in) - my church has a website & they need someone to take it over so I'm trying to help out while teaching myself something new.
I was doing okay til now. I downloaded a free template to play with so as not to mess up their real site just yet. I was able to get the majority of the site up except for the top part with flash. Error message says: "this page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of IE. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again" This mesage comes up on the index.html, index-1.html, and index-2.html pages.
I deleted & re-typed everything that had an SWF in it (then realized maybe I only needed to do the ones with the .swf extension, duh on me!) but I'm still getting a gray box with the "f" inside.
Additionally, I keep having to re-install Flash because it says I have to use version 10 or higher - the browserlab worked during the online lessons offered by Adobe, but now it won't work at all! I installed Flash 11 more times than I can count but it still won't work, yet when I go to my Programs flash it's installed twice - once as a 64 bit and once without. I'm assuming one of those can go.
I'm familiar with HTML and have created smaller websites using templates on sites like Yahoo Business, Wix and Office Live and thought I could handle this, but it's really stumping me, thought there'd be a learning curve and trial/error but WOW! Much respect to all you web designers out there, this stuff is no joke!
If anyone could please help me fix this problem and dumb your answer down as much as possible cuz I'm admittedly very lost! I'm worried that I'll have the same problem with the church site because they want some flash aspects. Did several internet searches & couldn't decipher the programmer jargon, nor could figure out if I was doing the suggested fixes correctly.
Thanks in advance for the help from anyone! I have a brand new computer, dell xps15 only 3 weeks old, so it's not the computer!
AnneFYI: Dreamweaver questions are better answered in DW's General Discussion Forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_general?view=discussions
Older versions of DW used an Active-X JavaScript to initialize Flash in IE browsers. Adobe later switched to a different script in CS4 and again in CS5 and CS5.5 which uses SWF Object Replacement. I suspect your Template was made with an older version of Flash & DW which is why you're getting the nag screens.
Option 1: Preview the original template pages in browsers. If it works, ignore the DW error messages.
Option 2: Rebuild the Template by stripping all Flash object and embed code and removing links to any Flash supporting scripts. Then re-insert your media. Insert > Media > Flash...

There's video problems with my Zen Vision:M already (M video cable related) Please help
Some background...
System:Windows XP with Service Pack 2.
Player: Brand new Creative Zen Vision: M with no firmware updates.
My Zen Vision:M has a problem (besides the scratch and fingerprint attracting top surface): It won't play videos on a TV screen when the M Video Cable (also from Creative) is linked to it anymore. It's only been a few hours...
I had the cable already, and got the player today. I let the player charge to /4th of a battery while I was setting up all the software. I ran the software programs just to take a peek, only changing the name of my player (to my name). I used Winamp 5.3 to put a music track on the player to test it. After that, I hooked it up to the VCR in my room through the white and yellow A/V plugs in front. It worked just fine. It to the tv a little large, but I was okay with it.
Later on today, the new AC charger I ordered came in the mail (Player came through UPS, charger through USPS). I looked at my old charger (Creative Zen Touch) and realized it would work with the plug-in part of the sync unit at the bottom. I tested it for a minute and it did. I still took it out and tried the new one. This is where, I think, something happened. I had to press the sides to get the thing in, and it was hard to come out. Everything still fit just right, and nothing seemed to be wrong. I used my old charger as I added more of my music library. Now it was on to videos. I had to convert the first two test vids (they were .wmv), but they played on my player fine. I put a bigger .wmv file onto the player to see if it had to convert it, and it did. It still played on the player. When I go to hook it to the TV with the A/V cord again, there was nothing but a black screen with the occasional diagonal scan line. The sound is still there.
Besides quirks with the navigational system, the player is still great for music and video. Still, I needed no video capability, and one of the things that made the ZVM a buy for me was watching my vids on the big screen. I'd return this for a second try, but I want to know if this is a recurring issue with you guys and if there's something I can do to fix it before a return. Did I mess with a setting? Should I get new firmware? Did I do wrong using my old charger? If any of you have an answer, or need more info on my situation, please let me know.
And BTW, does anyone know of some better software for organizing files on the ZVM? I used Winamp for my Zen Touch and the music on my ZVM, but videos are another ballpark. I can't transfer a video from one folder to another folder (assuming both folders are on the ZVM). Not to mention the music I transferred using Winamp isn't even showing up in Windows Media Player. I think I need a different program altogether.I have got a new Creative Zen Vision W and getting the same problem....when i attach to the tv then i am able to hear the audio content and the video does not show.Are we missing something ? or is it a problem with the player. Also the software provided with the Zen converts small .vob files to .wmv when ever the size is large it gives an error 'conversion?unsucessful'.Any body facing similar problems please help.

MBP running at a snail's pace, and a myriad of other interrelated issues, please help :'-(
Hello, my MBP is running very slowly, MS Office for Mac constantly freezing, Safari constantly freezing, various little issues are arising with many different functions/programs when I try to use them; i.e., the enter key will just stop working in Excel or my Adobe Acrobat will shut itself down out of nowhere, Finder freezes and/or won't relaunch; these are just a few examples, but the overall theme is that I am experiencing problems in usability and functionality with my MBP across the board. There is no rhyme or reason to any of it, and all programs and apps seem to be affected. I first began noticing the problems upon installation of the Yosemite upgrade so initially thought that was the issue, but I have since found that malware items have added themselves to my Safari extensions. I found instructions to remove them entirely, but could not find them anywhere on my computer other than the Safari extensions when I followed the steps provided. I tried clicking "uninstall", but had no luck, which is not surprising since I am pretty sure the "uninstall" option listed with the extension is just part of the malware. I have "disabled" the extensions, but that didn't do anything. I'm sure that they have implanted themselves elsewhere and are lurking in the shadows of my operating system and wreaking havoc throughout my computer.
The whole situation is making it extremely difficult to get anything done, and if I don't fix it soon it is going to be the major contributing factor to my complete mental collapse.
PLEASE HELP!!!
I tried to find suggestions in other areas of the Apple Support Community, and found the EtreCheck tool in one of the discussion threads. I ran the report on my system, and it looks like my MPB is riddled with problems. I don't even know where to begin in order to correct them. I am not sure if the malware has just taken over and is behind all of these, or if I am dealing with several different sources of trouble.
Any help with this would be much appreciated, the EtreCheck report is as follows:
Problem description:
MBP usability decreased significantly after installing Yosemite. Computer constantly freezing and completing any task in any program/using any function of MBP takes 5-10x as long as it used to.

I primarily buy from Crucial, Other World Computing, or MemoryTen. As long as they have a "configurator" where you pick you exact Mac from a list and it lists all the compatible memory for that Mac, AND it has a lifetime warranty on the RAM, it should be ok. Macs are very picky about the RAM because they use it to its full capacity. If there are any faults in the modules, it will crash.
There are suggestions for sites in other parts of the world on the EveryMac website. Look down in the Section for RAM where you'll find links to their sponsors (OWC is the US-based one).
In Apple's world, there is a difference between and "Upgrade" and an "Update." Updates should generally be installed as they patch vulnerabilities and fix bugs.
Upgrades on the other hand are an entirely new Operating System (OS). A change in the OS can cause many problems with your installed software as it may not be compatible with the changes. It may rely on programming interfaces that have been removed. They should know that they will be removed as Apple publishes those facts many years prior to removing the features.
An Upgrade takes you to a major, new version of software whereas and Update just makes changes to the same major version of the software.
Yosemite was an Upgrade, not an Update. -

Hi guys,
I ran out of ideas, so I need your help now. It's gonna be a long one...
Given:
MediaLocator(vfw://0) --> DataSource(video) --> Processor(video)
Then I send processor's output (videoProcessor.getDataOutput()) over RTP to multiple destinations. Of course, I am using cloneable DataSources for this, cause there's no other way. So, now I also need to have a local video feed just for self-reference, but it seems to be a tough one! Let me go over what I've tried til now:
1. Using DataSource clone from video processor, I tried to create a Player (i.e. Manager.createPlayer(clonedDS) ). BOOM!
javax.media.NoPlayerException: Cannot find a Player for: com.ibm.media.protocol.SuperCloneableDataSource$PushBufferDataSourceSlave@126c6ea

at gov.nist.javax.sip.EventScanner.run(EventScanner.java:489)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)So i checked. If I create a clone from my DataSource(video) then Manager would return this instance:
class com.sun.media.multiplexer.RawBufferMux$RawBufferDataSourceBut if, like now, I want to create a clone from DataSource from video processor (i.e. Processor.getDataOutput()) then I get this instance:
com.ibm.media.protocol.SuperCloneableDataSource$PushBufferDataSourceSlaveHope you noticed the difference. :) Now, from the latter one neither I can create a Player nor can I create a Processor. Too bad. So, I tried another one.
2. I took my DataSource(video), created a cloneable (just like in Clone.java) and from there I finally got my precious Player! Yes!! But not so fast.... Player was working, but the rest now wasn't. Once I have my DataSource(video) cloned, my Processor(video)'s data output got starved - i could not send video anymore. What a life?! Fine... Let's try another one.
3. Just like I send video remote I decided to send the video locally in a loop, for instance, from 203.159.2.3:25000 to 203.159.2.3:25002. And what do you think? Still doesnt work!! This "loop" stream is not detected (i.e. controller's update doest sense anything). But if i open JMStudio, and start listening (i.e. open RTP session) on 203.159.2.3:25002, i get my stream showing nice and clear!
Someone, anyone, please, help! Point my nose to some document, piece of code - anything to make this work.
Kind regards.I'd better post here, so everyone else can get it too. so here it goes:

Having trouble with DVD Video files. Please Help! :)
Hi I recently got a film DVD I wanted to take a clip off. However although I can watch the section I want in Windows Media Player, when I import the film into Premiere - some of it is missing! there are 4 files '4-1',4-2','4-3',4-4' which make up the movie. I can load them all in but 4-3 is missing the last 15-20 minutes, even though I know its there - cos this file is the same size as the previous one which is full length. Does anyone know why this would be? The DVD is unencrypted.
Please help - its quite annoying that the small section of film I want is the bit that won't appear! Thank you very much
RichBased on this one line:
The DVD is unencrypted.
I was assuming that it was not protected. However, as you point out, some aspects might be, and the OP might not be completely aware of this.
If there is protection, I strongly urge anyone to respect that, regardless of their intended use of the material. Copy protection is there for a very good reason. Regardless of what one might be able to do, they should be 100% ethical, and honor any/all copy protection. This is true for material from a videographer, or from a commercial studio. Should you need to use the material in such a DVD-Video, you should contact the author to get first permission, and then the original source material, that has not undergone the MPEG-2 compression to DVD-Video.
Again, I assume that the OP knows that this is NOT an issue, and will not figure into the problem. In that case, all above does NOT apply in this case, but some other reader might make note of it.
Good luck,
Hunt
