Opening Videos on Internet

When I go to open a video it somehow is opening it as a text file and not opening quicktime or whatever Macs use. How do I set this to open quicktime (if thats the right program) by default?
Yes im a Mac Noob!

If you are trying to open a video from a browser, then you will need to go into your browser's Preferences & file map which browser plug-in you want to open the video.
If you are trying to view a video from your desktop then do the following:
Highlight the video file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the player you want to open the video file.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

  • A page on a website which opens fine in Internet Explorer does not display accurately in Firfox...how can I fix this?

    I usually only use Firefox and don't compare screens between Internet Explorer and Firefox. However I was working on a website I am developing with a friend in Seattle and she sent me a trial and the pages don't fit on the screen right, for instance there is a return mail form that runs out of its box and leaves off the bottom of the page. She was having no trouble opening it on her computer (even in Firefox). It opens easily and correctly on my wife's computer in Internet Explorer, as it does on my computer. It is only in Firefox on my computer that it opens wrong. Also, and perhaps it is not related, opening videos in Firefox on my computer takes a long time when they open isntantly on my wife's computer in IE. I have more ready memory, more RAM and more graphics software on my computer than she does. Why should this be happening only in Firefox? I was so happy not using Internet Explorer any longer.
    I have attached a link to a page that I am having trouble with. It is not the only one. My screen does not show me the bottom of the response form where I can submit the form. It only shows half of the image verification code and no place to submit. I bet when you open it up you will see the whole screen.

    I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
    In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
    I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself.

  • Why does Firefox 4 not open video files (news and youtube) at all, but Firefox 3 and MSIE 8 open these video files quickly, all on my Dell Dimension 8250 desktop with MS Windows XL Pro?

    I subscribe to an Earthlink package of telephone and ISP through DSL in Dallas, Texas. To avoid the congestion (time outs and files not found) of the virtual "cloud" servers, as a workaround I connect to the Internet through dial-up on each session on my pc. There is only one pc or computer on my local network. I downloaded Firefox 4 RC and it failed (would not open video files on the Internet), so I removed the Firefox 4 RC program from my pc, and then I downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16, which works fine.
    My operating system is Windows XP Pro.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration. Many visual bugs can be attributed to issues with graphics drivers.
    (Firefox -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available)

  • Video and Internet Connection

    So I bought this brand new Macbook Pro only two months ago, and already I'm experiencing issues with the video and Internet Connection. When I try to watch video, it plays for a few minutes, then completely stops, though it is buffered and loaded completely. It never starts replaying unless i refresh it, but then it happens again and again. Then for the internet connection, when im opening websites and everything, suddenly the it says "Sorry you are not connected to the internet" then after a few moments, it works, but this is very annoying. Websites also load very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

    How many lines do you have on your wifi "fan" up at the top right of your computer and how far are you from the router? sometimes things like that happen when I sit a little too far from our wifi hub. If I show a good set of bars I have good internet flow etc. if just a single bar or barely, it gets dodgy.

    Hi..
    Assuming you are using Safari ...
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Make sure to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

    nothing happens. or by now: happened.
    just the format box, black.
    someone advised that I download Adobe Flash (again).

  • Facing Problems in Streaming Video over internet using FMS 3.5

    I,am using FMS 3.5 to stream video over internet.This video will be a part of a website www.mywebsite.com . I have the webserver in my company. This webserver has the local LAN IP : 192.168.10.19 which is binded with a public internet ip 212.77.xx.xx .This website is hosted using IIS 6.0 on OS windows 2003 server with SP2
    I created a swf name sample.swf from sample.flv file and gave it the rtmp address as follows:
    rtmp://192.168.10.19/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv   (where _StreamingVideo_  is the instance on the server, and 192.168.10.19 is the LAN IP of server) ,and it worked fine and every one within the local company network could see the streaming video. Now i tried to replace this local address with the public address and the address became as follows:
    rtmp://212.77.xx.xx/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv
    After giving this public IP in the rtmp address i,am getting a message "Failed to load Flv from the address rtmp://212.77.xx.xx/vod/_StreamingVideo_/sample.flv" and as as result the video is not streamed and it only shows the progress bar on the link
    www.mywebsite.com/VideoStreaming/Sample.html without loading the video. I have also checked the ports 80,1935,1111 on the server and they are open. Is there any problem with my rtmp address with public IP or any other reason ??. Please help me out in this regard because im realy stuck here.

    Adding to my previous post this is the XML output i get when i try to access the fms admin console from local ip address i.e http://192.168.10.19:1111/fms_adminConsole.htm
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

    but when i try to access fms admin console through public ip (http://212.77.xx.xx:1111/fms_adminConsole.htm) then it gives me the following :
    Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage.
    Any more suggestions Jay (because really ur the only one helping me out in this so far) ??

  • Incompatibility between Lightroom 4 .mp4 videos and Internet Explorer 9?

    I have been unable to get any Lightroom-produced .mp4 videos (slideshow module) to work as native video in Internet Explorer 9 (using the HTML5 video tag).  Re-exporting them through Premiere appears to solve the problem.
    Has anyone else run into this?  They worked fine on my development system (Windows 7 64 bit with a bunch of codecs installed), but I received complaints from someone and testing at Adobe Browser Lab demonstrated the same symptom (ie the Lightroom videos didn't load and the Premiere rendered version did.
    Annoying. :-(

    Hi,
    The process of clearing IE 9 Crashing issues is very simple.
    Run IE 9 without any plug-in, add-ons or other extension.
    That is, if the software is yet to be installed.
    If it has already been installed then disable the add-ons.
    It is important to check what are the add ons that cause the crashing if that is the case; this can be done by clicking on ‘Start’, then on ‘All programs’, then on ‘Accessories’, then on ‘System tools’.
    Click on Internet explorer again and again click on the ‘Tools’ option.
    Follow this by clicking on ‘Manage add-ons’.
    There will be an option under show: all add ons.
    Open the option and click on any add on and press the ‘CTRL + A’ on the keyboard.
    That should help select all the add ons; once that is done simply disable all the add ons and click ‘Close’.
    Finally close Internet Explorer and open it again.
    At this stage if it continues to open and work correctly then the add-on enabled manually will work properly and will stay! The constant problems of the browser crashing can be avoided.

  • When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message.

    When I try to open video files purchased through iTunes in Quicktime, I get the message: 'Error 23132: an unknown error occurred. This never happened until I updated iTunes, but when I try to go back to the previous version, I still get the message. It is more convenient for me to play videos in Quicktime since iTunes is such a memory hog. Please help.

    You may get better results if you switch to this alternate version: iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) and, if needed, reinstall QuickTime. The new (nearly) all 64-bit version doesn't seem to play well with QuickTime. Perhaps if DRM authentication is required QuickTime needs to be able to see something that is part of the older 32-bit code.

  • Why can't I open videos in my emails on Iphone 3gs

    I cannot open videos on my iphone 3gs sent in my emails. It will appear to start to open then stop.
    It continually shows the message "0 time remaining on download".  In some cases it will not even
    show the video square to click on to open, but no problem on my computer with the same sent

    Because that is how iOS 7 does it. To make a suggestion to Apple:

  • Error message when opening video files on z10

    when opening video files, showing error-the file can't be played due to an unexpected error(-3). request a solution to resolve this

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness shows up, the first thing to try is a proper reboot:
    Pre-BB10 Devices ONLY. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
    BB10 Devices. Hold the top button down until the counter reaches zero. Wait for the device to be fully shut down (e.g., nothing at all displayed on the screen, no LED lights, etc.). Hold the top button until the red LED is lit. Wait through the full boot-up process. If this fails, you can attempt the battery-pull method above, but it is normally NOT recommended unless nothing else works.
    See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
    Otherwise, please provide additional details...for example:
    What, exactly is the true file format? Not simply the file extension, but the true format?
    Does the file extension match the true file format?
    Where was the file created?
    Does the file work on other devices?
    Do other format video files work OK on your device?
    What is your exact OS level, and what exact app are you using to try and play the file?
    Good luck!
