Playback on Windows Media Player?

When saving a video for playback on a computer, it gives several options for file type. I need one that will allow playback on Windows Media Player. I see the for playback using Quicktime. Will this also play in WMP or which one do I select for this purpose? Thank you!

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
Windows 8 and 8.1 64 bit (independent of Premiere Elements) have problems with what will or will not play in its Windows Media Player. Files with MPEG2 compression seem to be a major problem in that regard.
I have been able to open videos with the .mov file extension in Windows Media Player or QuickTime (better results in QuickTime) on Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit. But a rule of thumb might be to try either player for your file, if problems, download and install the VLC player and determine if that works for your overall video playback needs. There is also a Media Classic Player HC that you might want to consider.

Media Playback With Windows Media Player and Quicktime

I just bought a mac book. Is there any way to have quicktime not the default player or to have it bring out the video from the safari window. because there are some sites that i go to and it just starts playing quicktime inside the browser video but i want it big in its own window. and is there anyway to just have the video play without the download box come up and just have the video play in whatever player without manually going to the hard drive and choosing which program to open the video with? thank you for any help
MacBook 2.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Microsoft AVI with codec set to None.
Or you can install the free Lagarith or UT codecs. Both work very nice with PP. Both use lossless compression, so you won't lose any quality, but will get smaller files (especially when using a YUV mode).

Export from Mac for Windows Media Player - square pixel widescreen

Hello:
I'm working with a square pixel wide screen iPad animation video. I built comps in AE and am editing in Premiere. I'm having issues with playback in Windows Media Player. Keyframe interpolation and cross dissolves are causing glitches. My pixel ratio is 872x486 And I want to export from Premiere with better results in WMP.
Your help with export settings is greatly appreciated.

Windows Media Player not selecting custom audio renderer filter on Windows 7 (works with graphedit)

Hi there,
I have custom directshow audio renderer filter derived from CBaseRenderer base class and implements IBasicAudio interface.
Filter works fine with graphedit and media player classic, I am able to receive audio data. But when I try to play file using Windows Media Player, filter gets callback in completeconnect followed by breakconnect and then its discarded.
Things I have tried so far --
Implement IBasicAudio interface, still fails with WMP
Modify audio renderer filter to connect with video decoder, it works fine with WMP and I can get dump of raw video data
Implement IReferenceClock interface, still fails with WMP
Implement this filter using CBaseFilter as base class, still same outcome, CompleteConnect on receive pin followed by BreakConnect and filter is discarded
It seems that Windows Media Player is looking for some specific interface that I might have not implemented or is picky for audio renderer. I found similar issue at https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/windowsdesktop/en-us/6e5985fb-3ca2-41b3-9a99-7a9b97ae7357/directshow-filter-stopped-working-in-windows-7-media-player.
But it seems unresolved.
Please help, am stuck on this issue for 3 days without any luck. Any clues on this is appreciated.
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Roman.
Most of QuerryInterface calls received in NonDelegatingQuerryInterface callback inside filter are same as that for greaphedit.
From http://blogs.msdn.com/b/mediasdkstuff/archive/2008/09/19/custom-directshow-audio-renderer-hangs-playback-in-windows-media-player-11.aspx, it seems that WMP on Windows 7 uses preferred list of filters using IAMPluginControl that cannot be modified
by 3rd party.
There has to be some workaround for this that am trying to figure out. Any clues on this?
Thanks,

DVD playback issue with Windows Media Player

Hi,
This isn't an Encore specific question, rather, a DVD playback one. Has anyone had issue playing their replicated DVDs in Windows Media Player? I truly believe it's the media player, not the DVD. When we put a DVD in the drive and try to open it in WMP, it jumps right to a video, or jumps directly to the last place we were in a video.... it's not defaulting to the main menu.
Has anyone experienced this? Is it a programming glitch on my DVD? I feel like it's a WMP issue, as it's only happening on certain computers.
thanks.

WMP has never been a good player for DVD's. At some point in the past, much of that functionality was disabled my MS, in hopes to reduce piracy. For some versions, no burned DVD would even play, though replicated/pressed DVD's were supposed to play fine.
I use CyberLink's PowerDVD and it is fine, even with my burned DVD's. The free MediaPlayer Classic HC plays my discs well too, with full menuing.
Good luck,
Hunt

Jerky playback in Source Monitor (vs. Windows Media Player) ...

I am a new user of CS5.5. I've read the FAQ and other posts and understand that my machine is underpowered.
That said, why do my HD clips play smoothly with Windows Media Player or Quicktime, but play jerky in the PP Source Monitor? What is it about PP's source monitor player that causes clips to choke when they can play back smoothly on the same computer using other software? Are there any other workarounds other than a faster machine I can do in the meantime until I upgrade my hardware?
For example, I see the "render entire work area" option under the Sequence menu as noted above - is there any way to do something similar to get PP to (pre) render the clips in the Project Panel for follow up editing in the Source Monitor window?
What about batch encoding to an uncompressed format and then editing the resultant clips? I would be concerned about loss of quality here though. Being new to PP, not even sure this question makes any sense in the first place.
Thanks!
Jon

Good news for you...its not designed that way and a great playback experience is possible.
Bad news is...you have to work out why you are not getting it!
(It has nothing to do with Quadro Cards because plenty of users with other cards have no issue either.)
Well, I'm just going by what I've seen in the past few years. When Premiere CS4 came out I had an Intel Quad Core 2.66 Ghz, 8 GB of RAM, Intel motherboard and an Nvidia 7950GT card. Playback was fine in Vegas, skipped frames in Premiere. Then on my current machine, an AMD 1090T 6 cores @3.2 Ghz, G.Skill 16 GB of RAM, a top of the line Gigabyte motherboard, and at first an ATI Radeon 4850HD, same thing, Vegas played fine, Edius much better (but nothing beats Edius in speed), and Premiere CS5 stuttered like crazy. Now, same machine but with an eVGA GTX570 instead of the ATI, Windows 7 x64, fresh install just one day old. Premiere CS6 does the same thing. If it's my machine, I have no idea what could it be, but the fact that it did the same on two different cards on this machine, and that Premiere CS4 used to do the same in a totally different machine, plus the fact that two other NLEs didn't have that issue, tells me Premiere has a problem at displaying video inside the GUI.
Maybe it could be that most people don't see stutter because they leave the playback quality in automatic? I'm sure I don't have any stutter if I do that, but it looks terrible. Some frames look fine, others look like the pixels got drunk and had a night out with crack whores Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but you get the point.
If anyone has a suggestion I'd be happy to try it. It's not a terrible issue for me, I always edit with the TV set on and that is fed by the Matrox MXO2 Mini with perfect quality.

ActiveX: Opening a separate Windows Media Player 9 window and controlling playback

Hey all,
I am trying to open a video in WMP4 automatically in Labview and control it. There is an existing ActiveX container but it remains on the front panel. I can control its playback, but cannot pause and resume.
I can also open the video on a WMP9 window outside of LabView through Labview, but I have not been able to control it. Merely start it, and then watch it till it finishes. This is the preferred operation I need to figure out.
LabView Version: 8.6
ActiveX application: Windows Media Player 4
OS: Windows XP
My questions are:
a) How do you pause and resume a video file if using the ActiveX container for which LabView provides
b) How could I access the playback controls of an externally opened WMP instance through LabView (because I want to automate the playback based on acquired signals)
Note that the ActiveX refnum is WMP4 whereas the installed version on XP is WMP9.
Thanks in advance for your help,
Hasan
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I do not have the
Vision Development Module in LabView. I think it would have been under
`Vision and Motion', however that menu is empty.
I have
managed to do what I want in the ActiveX container that shows the video
as a part of the front panel. I start the video, I pause it and the
screen goes blank (I want this feature. I could also get it to show the
frame at pause, but that does not suit my needs). When I resume the
play, it seeks to the point at which I paused the video.
To
do this, I use the invoke property -> controls ->
methodforcontrols-> play / stop functions and the currentposition
property as both read and write. I do not have the windows media
software development kit.
I have attached the VI which
describes what I have managed to do. Changing the first property node
to an invoke method -> openplayer node will open an external player,
but still do the required control of video playback on the wmp
container on the front panel, without affecting the video being run on
the external window. It seems like I should be able to tweak it and get
it to do the same thing on the external instance of WMP, yet I have not
been able to figure it out.
Thanks for looking at this,
Hasan
P.S. - I couldn't upload the video that I was using, hst_1.mpg because it is not a valid extension. Please substitute it with another file before running. Sorry for the inconvenience

Elements is inteferring with playback of AVCHD footage with Windows Media Player

I recently downloaded a trial version of Elements.
As soon as I installed this, I started having problems with playing ACVHD mts files in Windows Media Player. Whereas I have never had trouble playing these files in Windows Media Player before, after installing Elements the footage suffers from significant stuttering and the sound drops in and out. Interestingly, the footage continues to work perfectly in VLC and in Pixela ImageMixer. There is also no problem with AVI-DV footage.
As soon as I unistalled Elements the problem disappeared. I have replicated this several times by reinstalling an uninstalling Elements.
Can anyone explain why this could be happening? I am running Vista Busiess. My video camera is the Cannon Legria HF20, and I captured the footage using the supplied ImageMixer 3 software.
Unlike Windows 7, I don't believe that Vista has native support for AVCHD, and the only reason I can play AVCHD footage is because I have ImageMixer software installed (which came with the camera). Could there be some conflict between this software and Elements?
Any help would be appreciated. I am really tearing my hair out.
Update: I have also noticed that the same problem occurs in Windows Live Movie Maker when I install Elements.

I'd be inclined to uninstall both PRE and ImageMixer. Then install PRE first and ImageMixer last.
Cheers,
Neale

Screensaver ignores settings in Windows Media Player when watching a movie...

Hello,
Does anyone know how to resolve the problem with screensaver kicking in while watching a movie using Windows Media Player (WMP) even though I have unchecked the option to "Allow screen saver during playback" option in WMP?
I have found that if I start Windows Media Center (WMC) first and watch TV for example or even listen to Music in WMC and then later quit out and then load WMP to watch an avi file, after the specified time the screen saver starts up and the movie is no longer visible until i move the mouse to stop the screensaver. I know if I reboot WMP will work fine and no Screen saver will startup, that is not until i start WMC again and then go back into WMP...

Trouble with Windows Media Player Plug-in

I've been having a very annoying trouble lately. I can't play any windows media streams even though I have windows media player 9 installed. I reinstalled it but still nothing. Has someone else had this problem? Do I need to install something else? What do you recommend me?

It allows WMP playback (most files) via QuickTime Player or its browser plug-in.
You'll need to use Rosetta to use WMP as it is over three years old and will never be made Universal.

Problem with Windows Media Player -- saving, transferring

Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium
Product: HP Pavilion P6000 Series
Windows Media Player
Copy short videos onto a thumbnail drive from a different computer running Windows 7 with Windows Media Player. Thumbnail drive accepts files, lists and can play back fine on same computer. Take thumbnail drive to different computer also running/using Windows Media Player & Windows 7, and playback only plays back audio -- no picture. What am I doing wrong?

As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

I have tried to fix it. However, it is not work. The methods i have used which are
(from: DT20Three) open windows media player, click Organise -> Manage Libraries -> Music and make sure you aren't referencing any unavailable locations. For me, I was referencing an old hdd location for my music. Remove this dead location and update
your default save location and all is good.
(From Vivian Xing) You can also try the following steps:
1. Load Windows Media Player.
2. Click Tools\options\devices\ then choose properties of the CD reader and enable Digital for both ripping and playback, uncheck "Use error correction", click OK.
3. Click Rip music tab, change the Audio Quality to another value (higher or lower than 128kbps). Click OK and then try to rip.
(from Roi A. _) Edit: Also there is a problem with the Rip music tab: 1- nothing happens when i click change save location and it doesn't show the place where it saves now. 2- if I change a setting in the Rip tab and click save or apply, it says "The settings
for ripping music could not be applied."
(from Vivan Xing) I suggest resetting it as below:
1. Open Control Panel/Programs and Features.
2. Click "Turn Windows features on or off" in the left pane.
3. Expand "Media Features", uncheck "Windows Media Player". Click "Yes" to continue, and click OK to quit. Then Restart.
Note: If you turn off WMP, Windows Media Center will be turned off either. You may need to re-configure settings for Windows Media Center after re-enabling it.
4. Open "Turn Windows features on or off" again. Turn on the features "Windows Media Player" and "Windows Media Center". Restart.
5. Launch Windows Media Player, initialize the program.
You can also try restoring Media Library as Zachd mentioned.
[The only one method I didn't try is Insert the Windows 7 DVD, it is because I scared if I click install, I might loose all the files in my computer]
Please, I hope there is someone can solve my problem.
Thank you.

Cannot install windows media player

i downloaded windows media player for mac but cannot install it on my macbook pro. its giving me an error that it is not supported on this system. Is there an easy way to install it, or is there a version avaialbe for macbook pro?

Flip4Mac will not work on Intel Macs as its not Universal yet.
If anyone here wants a Universal plugin for WMV content and cannot wait for Flip4Mac to go Universal try Popwire Tech.
http://www.popwire.com/productinfo.php?cPath=1&productsid=7
Its free for playback of WMV in QT but you have to pay if you want to encode to WMV.

What is better creative media source or Windows media player?

Hey I just bought a new Zen player, and I noticed while ripping and uploading songs that the album art does not come along with it if I'm using the creative media source software. Now if I use my windows media player that came with my vista computer I do get the album art. So now my question is if Creative media source can't even do this simple task what is the benefit of using creative's media source? Are there things that it can do that windows media player can't do? Which is a better product to use? :smileyindifferent:angry:

tapdiggity wrote:
And I guess another benefit to creative mediasource is converting video files for playback on the zen. Windows media player I don't think has a converter for video files for the zen.
That is part of the Creative Media Explorer not MediaSource. The Video Converter is slooow & not that great. I do use the Media Explorer it is better for making & editing playlists.

Windows media player embedded(?) in website won't play

Hello! For some reason, the audio files on some forums won't play. For example, the audio file in first post here shows the controls for windows media player, but nothing works except for the volume slider:
http://masterrussian.net/mforum/viewtopic.php?t=8393
I looked over the list of installed plugins and everything seems to be in order. Can you help?

Works just fine for me and I don't even have Windows Media Player for Mac on my computer or Flip4Mac WMV Player - but if you don't have that you might want to try it out. Flip4Mac WMV Player - with just playback functionality is completely free and is now being distributed by Microsoft to Mac users since it pulled the plug on future development of Windows Media Player.
You might want to make sure you have proper codecs installed.
Try AC3 Codec for Mac OS X (can Google it) for sound
for video you can use Divx 6 for Mac OS X - make sure you have QuickTime properly installed.
make sure before and after you make a major installation that you run Disk Utility to ensure your hard drive continues to work okay.
Flip4Mac WMV Player lets you playback Windows Media files using Apple's QuickTime plugin.
What browser are you using? and what version? Is it Safari? Firefox? Internet Explorer?, Opera etc?
Also make sure iTunes is running correctly on your Mac - by default it is used most often to handle mp3 files. Hope this helps!
