No mpeg2 export option, h.264 content won't play in WM or VLC

I'm running a trial version of Premiere Pro CS4 (4.0.1 (052 (MC: 160820))) in Windows XP SP3.
When I try to export video I am missing the mpeg2 format options. File -> Export -> Media. I would take a screenshot to show what I'm seeing, but when I hit Ctrl (part of the Ctrl-Alt-PrintScreen) it closes the menu showing my available options.
Is there something special I have to do to get mpeg2 support? I thought that would have been included.
Also, if I encode to h.264 Windows Media Player and VLC won't play the resulting .mp4 videos. I can create h.264-encoded AVI files on my laptop with avidemux and they play back fine, so I know I have h.264 support, at least in VLC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No Mpeg export in the trial. I find that assuming anything about Premiere cs4 makes an '***' out of you and 'uming'.
Friendly fun, don't get mad just playing with ya cause it'd pretty well documented that there is no Mpeg support with trial. I agree it's stupid because CS4's big selling point is AVCHD and HDV and blu-ray. None of which you are available with the trial.

Mpeg2 export option gone?

I have found that Apple no longer puts the mpeg2 export option through quicktime or FCP. It kind of makes you use the super slow less quality compressor [in my eye]. I need this option .... My other rig has it somewhere but I cant find the extension anywhere .... does anyone know an easy fix to get this back on my new rig?

Should be there using QT Export from Final Cut Pro (the second Quicktime Export not Final Cut Self Contained or Reference Version) and also still in QT, at least for me, Reinstall may help (I am using Tiger 10.4.2 and the recent Final Cut Suite)

MP4 H.264 video won't play in Flash Player

I am using a Mac Book, OS X 10.8.5; FireFox 32.0.1; Flash Player 16.0.0.305. I am trying to play video (MP4 H.264 format) that works on VLC, Quicktime Player & Real Player but won't play through Flash Player. Why?

I'll take a look at the GPL sources to see how the firmware encodes the video output, I think the mpeg encoder might be built into the firmware's Linux kernel (instead of a stand-alone encoder program), I see references to the IBM mpeg2 headers but I'm not sure. But honestly addressing this possible bug is not the first thing on my todo list, but I do fidn this report interesting enough to merit investigation.
May I ask what you are using for the Samba server (aka windows shares)? Do you use your desktop PC, or perhaps a NAS server?
As an interim thing to try, I advice you install VLC media player to view the files, or to use VLC to examine the media files properties to see what you can findout.
IF you must use Windows media player, then I suggest you look into the combine community codex package.

Matroska/H.264 file won't play decent

I've got a .mkv file with a video stream encoded with the H.264 codec. I've upgraded my ffmpeg to ffmpeg-cvs and here's what happens:
- Mplayer won't play it:
Starting playback...
[h264 @ 0x85b3be8]QP -24 out of range
Error while decoding frame!
mplayer: h264.c:2306: mc_dir_part: Assertion `pic->data[0]' failed.
- Xine will play it, but there's no video output, just sound.
- VLC, same as Xine.
- ffplay does show me the video, but I can't skip / seek.
When I go back to the old ffmpeg package, I don't even get any video output with ffplay.
Does anyone know how to view this thing?

solved with mplayer-cvs and ffmpeg-cvs from AUR.
now, how the hell do i enable the subtitles in mplayer? kmplayer has the option but there are no progress bar.

Export using H.264, file won't retain aspect ratio

Hi,
I'm attempting to export a file using Compressor, and the "H.264 LAN Streaming" setting. The finished file doesn't retain the original aspect ratio (16:9) but creates a file that has is 4:3.
After several attempts and checking all the obvious stuff, I started thinking maybe it has something to do with using video with different frame rates in this project. My camera is an HVX-200 and I shot primarily in 720/24p but also had some shots at 60 fps. Just wondering if this could be causing any problems.
It's probably some simple thing I've just completely overlooked, but I'd sure appreciate any help. The couple of times I've posted here I've received great input, so thanks in advance.

You have to set the dimensions. DVCPRO HD is an anamporphic format, so it will export anamorphic. Unless you give it 16:9 dimensions. Like 640x360.

Flash content won't play if HTML is in a different directory

I have a flash CS3 slideshow that loads it's content from an
external .xml file. If I export the HTML it plays fine, but if I
move the HTML to the site root directory and let dreamweaver update
the links the flash slideshow will not play.
my site is at:
http://www.heavensexpress.org
the flash with the .xml is in
http://www.heavensexpress.org/flash

Flash looks at the current location of the HTML page for the
start of any relative paths. So, if your SWF is in a different
location from the HTML, you will want to use server-relative paths
("/path/to/xml.xml") or absolute paths ("
http://www.mysite.com/path/to/xml.xml")
in the Flash.
If you don't want to change the SWF, move the XML and any
other files relative to the root of the server, and you will be in
business.

Bbc content won't play

Is there a way of playing BBC content live. I have the app but can't play some of the content as it needs flash player. Didn't realise this before I bought iPad.

I was able to resolve this.
In IE8, go to Tools, Internet Options.
Click on the Advanced tab
Click on the RESET button to reset IE to its default settings
I'm not recommending any actually do this, but it worked for me. I wish I had more time to check which actually setting was interfering.
By clicking on reset, I didn't lose my favorites, but the home page changed, toolbars got removed, and security, privacy and content settings all got reset.
Hope that helps anyone in a similar situation.

Online Quicktime movies and content won't play!

I have OS 10.2.8, and until recently (when Apple released Quicktime 7), I had no problem in any of my browsers with Quicktime content. Now that Apple has switched to Q7, which isn't compatible with 10.2.8, I have not been able to load any Quicktime content, such as movie trailers.
Does Quicktime 6.5.3 no longer work for any Quicktime content? Or is it just a problem with my system? It would be disconcerting if Apple no longer allowed anyone who does not have 10.3 or above to view their content. Please help with this problem!

Any file encoded with the new H.264 video codec (most of the new trailers) can't be viewed with QuickTime 6.5.3.
Since you're unable to install QuickTime 7 on your computer you can't view these new movies.

Sky Go content won't play on Apple TV 2nd Gen

I have a UK Sky Go account and can download video to iPad. When I activate Airplay to Apple TV 2nd Gen it will not display. Apple TV works fine with iTunes downloaded content.
Any options/ideas to get this working??

While I am pretty sure I had tried it, I just did a little rearrangement within my stereo cabinet which resulted in moving the Apple TV to another shelf. And of course unplugging it to move cables. After powering it up and redoing some of the setup, the movie plays properly. So maybe a power cycle was needed. Or maybe the problem resolved itself and the power cycle just coincidently happened at the same time. Either way, my problem has been resolved.

"HDCP content won't play on this display" error for all purchased content after upgrading to Yosemite

Using my 2013 Mac Pro with a 27" Cinema Display, I'm now getting an error that tells me that my display isn't authorized for HDCP content.
This is the same machine I've been using right along to watch my iTunes content with no configuration or hardware changes... the only difference is the switch to Yosemite and the accompanying iTunes upgrade.
I've tried the basics - rebooting, reconnecting the display etc - but based on the circumstances it feels more like a bug than something I'll be able to impact.
Anyone?

The issue is from Safari defaulting to HTML5 vs using Silverlight like it did in Mavericks.
So the options are, if you want to use Safari goto your Netflix account, playback preferences and turn off HTML5. This will revert to Silverlight and will AirPlay fine*in Safari.
If you want to use HTML5, just leave the setting for HTML5 on in Netflix and use Chrome, Firefox, etc.
You can't currently have both Safari and HTML5 Netflix when using AirPlay. You'd think Safari would be a little bit more powerful with Apples stances on browser extensions.

Transferred music from computer to laptop...some content won't play

Some of my content is locked, and when I try to authorize, it says that the computer is already authorized, but wont play the song.

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.

Purchased tv content won't play in itunes on my computer

Hd content won't play in itunes properly

I am trying to play 720p & 1080p content in itunes on my macbook pro. The itunes library is on a firewire 800 external drive. The videos play fine in quicktime player, but when I try to play hd video in itunes the framerates slows down so much as to be unwatchable but the audio plays fine. I've tried taking out all the plug-ins for both itunes and quicktime. I turned perian off. Nothing seems to help. The same videos play fine in other programs (quicktime player, vlc, etc.) but in itunes the video is unwatchable. SD videos play with no trouble. I tried playing a movie I bought from the itms and that played mostly, it was a little slow. But podcasts and videos I have encoded myself will not play.

Hi
I have the same problem. Any solution yet? I would like to play hd videos in iTunes on my late 2012 iMac.
Take care

Purchased content won't play

Ok, I just reinstalled Windows XP pro after a full format of my windows drive. I had my entire itunes library on a different drive, so that wasn't affected at all. When I installed itunes, everything seems fine, except for the few albums I've bought off of itunes. Everything appears to be authorized correctly, but when I try to play these songs it just skips them and goes to the next one in the list. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
1. Deauthorize the computer.
2. Create a new user in the system.
3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
If you need them, the following articles will help you.
About Authorization and Deauthorization.
How to restore the iPod.
How to recreate your iTunes library.
How to create a new user account in Windows.
I know you already recreated the library, but try it again using the above steps.

Motion 3 template drop zone content won't play in FCP

I am new to Motion. I made a custom template and brought it into FCP. It inserts and previews fine. In FCP I place a clip into one of the masked-out "drop zones" under the "controls tab" and here is where I run into the problem:
The clip shows up ok in the template but doesn't play once I render; all I get is a static still from it.
I sense that I am almost there... any suggestions?
many thanks,

Hi, this problem has been solved over in the Quicktime discussions:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5106282&#5106282
Turns out you need to install Qmaster to play HDV files in QT (without FCP installed).
