Playing  .bin  files?

I am currently downloading a .bin file but do not know how to play it when the download has completed fully. When I click on the file for a preview, Toast 6 Titanium comes up, but the file doesn't actually play. I don't know what to do, please help!
Sorry if this question is in the wrong category.

Hello! Sorry if this makes me sound stupid, but I don 't really understand. There is no way I can find out what application the file was made with. When I open the .bin file and roxio toast opens, it looks like it wants me to burn it onto a DVD and that's the only way I can watch what is on the file. I've had no experience with Roxio Toast so this is all seeming very complicated :/

  • Playing.mov files

    I took several movies with my iPad.  Bought a generic flash drive from Staples.  Connected iPad to iMac, brought up iTunes.  All the movies and several photos came up.  Copied the files to flash drive to give to friend.  Tried to test play the files.  Photos would not come up.  Movies would not either.  All kinds of  gibbersh about codecs and wrong formats etc.  Took flash drive to Windows PC, similar messages.  Made the mistake of deleting the files after they were imported from iPad now they are lost e.g. not is trash bin.  Why is it so difficult to do what I used to do with eyes closed on a PC?

    I'm searching for a solution to the same problem. I will be more specific: any .move file I had on my drive no longer works, QuickTime complaining with a -2048 error (not a file QuickTime understands). A few of these files I downloaded as little as two days ago, and now they no longer open.

  • How to get Music Player to play AAC files and show...

    I feel the need, the need to share my recent experiences with you! Firstly to restate the already known facts: The Nokia Audio Manager in PC Suite is incapable of reading any tags as far as I have seen, from a tag (AAC/MP3) or from a CD itself and it crashes on my pc after sending 2 albums to my phone or on initialising once the phone has 2 albums already on it - so I've binned that. iTunes creates .m4a files which are AAC files but in mp4 containers with mp4 tags. The N70 will play AAC files and read ID3 tags up to v2.3 Here's how to get musak on your N70 with tags and artwork. 1. get yourself copies of dbpoweramp 11.5, their AAC codec (the Release 5 one) and The Godfather and install them 2. Go into the dbpoweramp config, select the ID tag tab and change the tag to ID3V2 for AAC. check the version field is set to v2.3 3. Use Poweramp's CD Input to rip a CD (you can specify under options to use AAC (Advanced Audio Coding (CLI)), you can custom the folder/filenames and set the bitrate (I use 100 BVR which creates files about the same size as MP3) 3.5. Rename any file that has an apostrohpe in the filename - removing the apostrophe - as the Music player will not read the tag 4. Go onto Amazon.com, find your CD and save the artwork image to your PC (create a folder for artwork) 5. Run The Godfather, select the folder containing the ripped album, click on the 'TAG' button, tick the picture box and click the button to it's right and browse for the .jpg file you just downloaded. then click on Update which will bring up the edit dialog, check that the picture is visible at bottom right and is ticked and then click 'Update All', then 'Sync' and then 'Exit'. Finally, click on the 'Apply' button 6. Transfer the folder to your My Music folder on the MMC 7. Run the Music Player and select Options-Update Collection 8. Now go into Albums and you should see your album title. Click on it and you should see all tracks. Click on a track and you should see, in the playing window, the artist & track and the artwork too. It has taken me weeks to get this far but for me, it is worth it. I hope this system works for you too Regards, Brian.

    It sounds like a dud program.   I would remove it (highlight its icon, then Options -> Remove).  If you don't see a remove option, look for the program in the Application Manager.

  • Upgraded Project Playing Render Files Instead of Normal Clips

    Project upgraded to Mac Pro and FCP Universal is playing rendered files where native format clips are placed in the timeline. The called-for native clip begins fine but a portion of a rendered file from another part of the timeline will suddenly appear. Over a half-hour program this happens 78 times.
    Why did you transfer an uncompleted work without finishing, you ask? G5 went down under AppleCare. The 2 to 5 day repair window is now on day 14, despite repeated promises to have the G5 back "tomorrow." Time sensitve project on a dead line. Purchased a new Mac Pro with FCP Universal.
    Tried deleting corrupted clips from timeline and replacing with original clips from bins. Taking too much time.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    PROBLEM FIXED! Don't know what the cause was...perhaps corruption during transfer.
    Solution came by making a copy of the sequence, creating a new project then placing the copied sequence into the new project's timeline. Timeline plays as it should.

    I think those are the only relevant things in the log file, everything before that is at an older time and I think is a log from when I ran "startx". I think this is the first time I've run video since updating catalyst-utils. Web video (eg YouTube) plays fine and doesn't cause any problems. I've tried reinstalling catalyst-utils and still have the same problems. The version is 14.1-1.
    Any ideas on what I should try? Also, is there an easy way to switch to the open source driver, and then back to catalyst if that doesn't work? I tried using the open source one for a while but had issues so started using catalyst, but it's possible the issues I had with the foss one are now fixed.
    Edit: I managed to install the FOSS drivers and all problems I formerly had with my 6970 are now fixed. This is a better solution than I could have hoped for, since I had been having a few problems with catalyst before the segfaulting started, and I'm having none of them with xf68-video-ati. And, full resolution from before I start X!

    Yes. You can put all of your personal default settings in the file ~/.mplayer/config. If it doesn't already exist, just create it. On my VDPAU enabled system it looks like this:
    [default]
    vo=vdpau,xv,
    deint=4
    hqscaling=9
    vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,
    channels=2
    As far as subtitles go, I never use them so I have no idea.

    I'm unable to isolate the problem here. When I play the file with mplayer, it plays just fine. But with the code above, it just does not wish to play..
    Can someone please point out the error I am commiting.
    Thanks

    I'm using the code below to play a simple wav file in
    Linux:I'm running the performance pack under Win XP, here..
             try {
                 URL url = new URL("file", "",  "/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav");
    ...Is that a linear encoded, 16 bit, stereo sample
    recorded at 22050Hz sample rate? 4.81 seconds
    (424,644 bytes), content type audio.x_wav?
    The reason I ask is just that you do not mention if
    you'd tested on any other OS, and I found a very
    similarly named WAV of the above description on
    my system and tried it with your code - and in
    JMStudio.
    It ran flawlessly in both.
    But on running the above program ...
    I get the following error:...
    file:/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav
    file:/magichome/xruser/jmf/WindowsXPStartup.wav
    com.sun.media.content.unknown.Handler@1ee4648...
    Unable to handle format: LINEAR, 22050.0 Hz,
    16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian, Signed, 88200.0 frame
    rate, FrameSize=32 bits...
    I'm unable to isolate the problem here. When I play
    the file with mplayer, What is 'mplayer'? The default media player
    of the OS?
    ..it plays just fine. But with
    the code above, it just does not wish to play..
    Can someone please point out the error I am
    commiting.I cannot tell what the problem is, sorry. Just
    thought I should check in and note there is
    nothing wrong with the code, and that WAV
    is sure understood by Windows based JMF.

  • SWF to play mp3 files located on the server

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if it is possible to create an SWF file that can play mp3 files directly from the server, without the need for a streaming media server or external JS.
    And also for the application to read the current directory its located in and build a playlist based on the files inside.
    any information of examples would be greatly appreciated.
    Peter.

    As for loading and playing the files there is no issue.  Simply load them as you would load any file.  You can even use a relative path if they are in the same folder as the SWF, or a sub-folder that is in the folder with the SWF.
    As for looking at the server directory for what files are there, and using them - I know of no way to do this.  That doesn't mean it is impossible, just that I haven't come across a method in my experience.
    What I typically do is to archive the list of files in an XML file, and load the XML.  I know, that adds an extra step, and an extra file, but it is the easiest method for approximating what you want to do.
    Let me edit this response.
    You could use javascript, or a server language to grab the list of files in the directory and pass it into Flash via the ExternalInterface classes.

  • How to play .wav file from url in iphone.

    We are using callfire API for in our iPhone application(Hybrid application build using sencha and phonegap). The concept of the app is to show the recorded calls in a list and on click of any call in the list it will play the recorded audio file(.wav format). Now the problem is that we are not able to play that file in our Application. We also tried to play that URL directly on iPhone browser but it also didn't worked.
    Here is one of the URL of audio file formathttps://www.callfire.com/cloud/1/files/recording/dynamic/864c81f4a8e6a898042cb47 251ca1c85/2012/8/6065312/cid_1319779221_1.wav
    When we put this audio file in our server and tried to play it our Application, it worked perfectly.
    Can you please tell us what is the reason behind this?
    We are using iPhone 3 with software version 6.0 for testing.

    You'll have to ask the devleopers of sencha and phonegap.

  • ITunes takes a few seconds to start playing MP3 files

    I just started using this new MacBook Pro and transfered my music library to the new laptop. I'm having a problem with iTunes playing MP3 files: when I double click on a MP3 track iTunes seems to freeze for like 3 - 4 seconds before the track starts playing and then it plays normally without a hitch. This is happening with each and every MP3 track that I have in the library as well as new MP3 tracks that I'm adding. Th short delay/freeze also occurs when I try to view or alter the info of an MP3 track in the library, so that when I right click on a track and click Get Info, the 'Get Info' screen will take about 3 - 4 seconds to show up and the same freeze happens when I click OK to close the 'Get Info' screen.
    Note that this happens only with MP3 tracks. Tracks purchased from the iTunes store (AAC) do not have this problem and start playing without any delay/freeze.
    Another weird tidbit: When MP3 tracks are in the same playlist (or album) and I let them play one after another (without me skipping to the next/previous song) then the delay/freeze does not occur at all. This delay seems to just happen when I start playing a song or when I click the fast forward/Rewind buttons to skip to the next/previous track.
    Does anyone know what might be causing this? And if a fix is available somewhere? Thanks in advance!

    It only happens on mp3s not on AAC's to me too! Just so you all know. I thought an EXTERNAL DRIVE was my problem but after hours of research I found it's probably an intentional bug (just kidding Apple you don't hate other companies that much....geesh! ) It might not be this...but you never know.
    I thought maybe it was the TAG but it seems this has nothing to do with it. Point is either Apple left a bug on the last update of itunes MP3s because to them it's less of a priority or it's being messed up by Amazon folders (still looking in to), or maybe there was a problem with the install.
    So far my options are to get an MP3 to AAC convertor and dump my 3000 songs into a program for converting, wait for an update, reinstall, or keep looking for a missed solution.
    Any help would be appreciated!!

  • Can't open CS 5.0.4 Premiere Pro because of bin-file error.

    I'm on an:
    iMac
    OS X 10.6.8
    12 GB RAM
    3.06GHz
    I've had trouble with CS5 so i upgraded to CS5.0.4 PP and I cant open my project. It's a large project, over an hour long movie. I've spent over 7 grand of my own cash on it and a year of my life. This means the world to me to fix.
    whenever I open Premeire it says :
    Reverb
    Can not open bin-file.
    i understand that is an audio plug in error and i've been searching for it 10 hours. I know if i find it, remove it from the folder, it will open with all my reverbed audio gone. I'm fine with that, I can not for the life of me figure it out.
    I'm begging for help.
    Thanks,
    Brett.

  • I am using Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed Windows Media Player 1.0.0.8 for Firefox. However, if I attempt to open a file with a .wmv extension it appears to function properly, except, that I cannot "play" the file. What am I doing wrong?

    You probably have not seen anyone reporting the exact same problem as you. All three crash reports have the same crash signature and as currently ranked 67 it is not the commonest of reasons for a crash.
    I hope you enter your email contact information when reporting crashes. I note you see this crash when using videos, others may possibly see this crash in other circumstances.
    You have already tried the obvious, attempts at a fix so it is now down to wait and see, maybe developers working on the bug will report something or fix it.
    Did you try my suggestion of installing portable ESR ?

  • I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song!! The problem is both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing the files in the trash or not

    Hi. I'm in a situation here and would really welcome some guidance. I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song. Both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. So, I moved what I thought were duplicates into the trash from iTunes, and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do this manually for each album. I did this with about 10 albums. I emptied the trash and lost them even though they still LOOKED like they were in iTunes. I repeated the process tonight on a bunch of other albums not realizing yet that I had screwed up terribly the first time. This time I saw what had happened and pulled the files out of the trash, onto my desktop and dragged them back into iTunes, then deleted the duplicate files that had exclamation points next to them. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing duplicate files from the trash or not, and am nervous about emptying the trash. Anyone dealt with this before? Thank you

  • Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

    I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me  on her macbook pro.  It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play  flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media  Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro,  we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media  Player.
    She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe  Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on  her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that  didn't help.  She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system.  When  she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she  gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the  video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming  should be required.
    The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection  error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load  but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no  connection to the server or the stream was not found."
    Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file  into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we  know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something  is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix  it?

    I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
    Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
    As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
    So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
    - TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
    - I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
    - I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
    CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").
