Opening folder with video files flickers window

When I double click on the folder that has the video footage files the window of that folder start flickering for 3-5 seconds. If I open the second time the same folder, then its OK. It always happens to the new folder that was not open recently. First time it happened few months ago and Apple support told me to delete all preference files. I did and it stopped doing it up until now.
Did anyone have the same and is there another solution then deleting preference files all the time. Maybe its a memory issues?
Thanks,

When client open folder with html files to preview web site, some pictures are missing when previewed.

However all images are in "images"folder. Same images are missing when previewed in Firefox and Explorer.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

Are you sending this other person all of the image files in
the same relative location as they are on your local computer?
For instance, if you are sending them index.html and your
images are in a folder called images, you should be sending them a
Zip file with the following enclosed:
index.html
images (folder)
image1.gif
image2.jpeg
If you are sending this type of structure to your other
party, check the links in code view. Make sure they are relative.
If they are, on the index.html page they would look like
images/image1.gif. If it says anything like C:/ or something that
points to a local drive they you will need to make sure the image
are within the site definition and then save the files
again.

Quicklookd slowing down Leopard with video files

For some reason whenever I'm trying to open a folder with video files, add a video to a project or just open a video, I get the spinning beachball for quite a while before anything happens. This makes using iDVD impossible, Toast almost unbearable and general use of my mac quite annoying. Looking at processes on istat, quicklookd seems to be using 70-80% of the processor, sometimes higher. I could understand if I were using a slow computer but this is on my iMac Core 2 Duo 2.8GHz. The files tend to be .avi - either xvid or divx if that's helpful.
Would be enormously grateful for any advice. Thanks.

Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

I keep getting the message: "what should firefox do with this file" in Windows XP every time I want to download a file, e.g., adobe, excel, etc. How can this annoying message be deleted? The check box to "open file automatically" does not work!

cor-el,
Thanks for your prompt reply. However, the sources you gave do not seem to apply exactly to my situation. I have attached some screenshots that show what the dialogue box looks like for a pdf download, and what my settings in the Apps panel of Options are. You will note in the first screenshot that I have checked the box to handle this file type automatically; however, the next time I try to download a file of that type, the same dialogue box appears looking exactly like the one shown, so checking the "automatic" option appears to do nothing. The files to be downloaded from my Gmail messages are not generic or altered file types - they are shown as pdf, doc, docx, etc. So while your intent was good, your post did not help. Thanks anyway.

LR5 crashes each time I open a folder with video

The title sums it up.
I have a Fujifilm HS20EXR folder which contains video.
Each time I select the folder, LR5 (Mac ML) crashes.
Neil

FYI It is not only the Mac version of LR5 that is having issues with videos.
On Windows, there is an issue with 100% CPU and long delay of showing videos in Library mode.
Whether the problems are related is unknown to me.

The auto installer won't open on my laptop with win. 7...it only says open folder to view files.

how do i install the elements 9 program while using the dvd. it only opens a window that says "open folder to view files" .,.. the auto installer is not working. its a new laptop.... toshiba x505 series... how can i run the install? thanks...

Click on the Start button >>Computer
Right click on the icon for the DVD drive and choose open - then see if you can find the set-up file.
Double click the set up file to start installation.
It sometimes helps to temporarily turn off internet security/anti virus software.

Can't open a .mts video file

I used to be able to open any video file just by double clicking on it's icon, usually opens MPEG Streamclip if it isn't supported by Quicktime. However, now I can't open a .mts video because it says I need MPEG 2 - Playback Component installed. I used to have that but it's disappeared for some reason. Is there another way to open a .mts video file?

Have you tried changing the MTS extension to TS and opening the file with the QT X player?

Create folder with multiple files (was: folders)

Can you create a folder with multiple files and direct the page to go to the folder and then the reader can select the file they wish to choose? Example Council Mintes Folder with a file for each set of minutes. The hyperlink would open the folder and then the reader would select whch set of minutes they'd like to see.

You may not have access to it depending on your hosting company and plan, but if you did have the ability to change it you'd normally do it in the admin area of your hosting account which would update the proper files on your server.
You may also be able to do it manually, but the "how to" depends on the server type you are running.
EDIT: I'd still suggest using a server script (like the PHP I linked to) because the look of a directory with browsing turned on is pretty ugly and can't be changes since it's not a page on your site. With the PHP I linked to, you could have an actual page for your links, complete with your site's design, that simply lists the files from the specified directory. It's very simple to set up if you have PHP on your server.

MPEG folder with .m2v files after build required?

When you build a project, I noticed the folder MPEG being created. does DSP create an MPEG folder with .m2v files?
Now, do you need this folder even after you BUILD the project. I don't understand why, the build folder is nearly 3GB as it is?

If there is a chance that you will have to make changes to your project, you should keep it.
Otherwise you can throw it out.

Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.
