Playing Videos from iPhoto in any other player than Quicktime
Hi,
is there any way to make iPhoto open video files in anything but Quicktime X. I'd prefer them all starting in VLC.
Setting VLC as the default player for all .MPG files works when selecting the files in Finder, yet iPhoto will still try and start them in Quick Time.
This is very annoying. Has anybody managed to resolve this issue?
Hi Terence,
Well, your answer is certainly to the point!
U SURE??
I hate QT X. I have 7 and it seems to usually default to opening QT movies - except the ones in iPhoto.
What a shame there's no way to set iPhoto to default to using QT 7. But you're saying there's not!
Just confirming nothing's changed in the last 3 weeks!
Thanks . . .

Why can I not open photos loaded on USB stick from iPhoto on any other computer than a Mac?
I recently loaded a USB stick with various photos from iPhoto & these do not appear when attempted to be opened in My Documents on a Windows computer. Is there any way of fixing this issue?
Check the formatting of the USB stick. You have probably formatted the stick for Mac with a file system MacOS Extended (Journaled). This file system cannot be read by a Windows computer. Save the photos to different drive and format the USB stick using Disk Utility to a file system both computers can read, MS-DOS should work.
Disk Utility is located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder. -

Windows 7 freezes / hangs when playing video or audio on any media player
I've had this issue since installing Windows 7 (32 bit) over 2 months ago and have been actively seeking a fix for the majority of those two months. In windows XP pro (32 bit), I had no issues whatsoever. The problem manifests itself as a complete hang of all system functions and inability to interact with my computer aside from moving the pointer around.
This only occurs when I am playing some sort of media (mp3, avi, mp4, mkv, etc) on any media player that I had installed at the current time of testing (WMP12, VLC, Realplayer). The initial response is a hang of the system which then can become a freeze if I click around too much during the hang. After approximately 3-5 minutes the problem is alleviated and the system plays catchup with the video/audio sync.
Below is a complete rundown on my system and fixes floating from other threads that I have attempted.
My System Spec:
Windows: Windows 7 Ultimate (32 Bit) Version 6.1 Build 7600
Motherboard: Gigabyte Ds4-X48 Crossfire Ready
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB 256Bit DDR5
CPU: E8500 Wolfdale (3.16) Core2Duo
Ram: 4GB ( 2x 2GB OCZ Reapers @ PC8500 1066MHZ )
PSU: 600W OCZ GameXStream
HDD - Primary - 1.5TB Seagate
HDD - STORAGE - 1.5TB Seagate + 500GB Western Digital
Audio - Integrated Realtek
Drive Bays: SATA Combo Drive (Samsung) + IDE Lightscribe DVD-MultiRecorder RW
As you can see, my system is more than capable of running Windows 7 and probably just as qualified to captain a space shuttle.
Things I have tried to no avail
- Changing the Power Plan
- Adjusting the overclock of my GPU to factory defaults
- disabling Media Player Network Sharing in services.msc
- Only having WMP12 installed
- Shark007 Codec Pack
-Not having Shark007 Codec Pack
- Undergrading WMP12 to WMP11
- CLEAN BOOT - Freezes/hangs still occured regardless.
- Registry optimization and cleaning
- Playing video after fresh install still causes freezes
- SQMClient/MachineThrottling IS NOT THERE TO BE DISABLED OR DELETED
- Adjusting RAM timing,frequency and voltage in BIOS
- Use Display driver provided by Windows Update for ATI Radeon HD 4870
- Tested several other Catalyst and Display drivers
- Updated Chipset , Audio Driver, Network Driver
- Clean installed 4+ times ( I clean installed inbetween all of the previous attempts listed above)
- Uninstalling programs such as AIM, MSN Messenger, Adobe products, Daemon Tools Lite, Adobe Flash Player 10 ActiveX
-My computer is not eligible for the Intel Matrix Storage update
-Disabling aero
I am now starting to suspect maybe Company of Heroes may be an issue as it is Divx endorsed.
I froze once while typing this up due to wmp12 playing a mp4 music video in the background.
Can anyone recommend a good skin and theme that will make Windows XP look like 7? I'm starting to think that it's my only solution.Hi,
Thank you for your posting.
As for this system freezing issue, we generally need to analyze the performance monitor logs and memory dump files to locate the root cause. Unfortunately, debugging is beyond what we can do in the forum because of the nature of forum support. A support call to our product service team is needed for the debugging service. I'd like to recommend that you contact Microsoft Customer Support Service (CSS) for assistance so that this problem can be resolved efficiently. To obtain the phone numbers for specific technology request please take a look at the web site listed below:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;PHONENUMBERS
If you are outside the US please see http://support.microsoft.com for regional support phone numbers.
Having said that, I'd still like to provide the following general troubleshooting steps to see if we can eliminate this problem:
Note: Please perform a complete system backup first. If any unexpected issue occurs, we can quickly restore the system to the current status.
1. Scan your system to make sure that the system is virus free. Temporarily disable your anti-virus software to see if this problem is gone.
2. If you have recently installed any software, hardware or drivers, please remove them.
3. Run Process Explorer to check which processes are using a lot of memories or cause high CPU utilization:
Process Explorer
4. If the process is a service, you can use these steps to find out what applications are using most of the CPU: Open Task Manager, click on the Processes tab, look for the process that is using the CPU and note its PID (Process ID). Note that you may need to go to the View/Select Columns menu and make sure that PID (Process Identifier) is checked.
Once you have the PID run the following from a command prompt:
tasklist /svc
This should give you the application associated with the PID you identified in the previous step.
However, if the issue still persists, please contact Microsoft Customer Support Service (CSS) for further troubleshooting. I hope the problem will be resolved soon. Thanks!

How to stream video from iweb or any other way?
Can anyone help me? Is it possible to use iWeb to create a web site that will allow visitors to play and view m4v files (video clips etc) directly from the web page without the need to download the file first, rather like the BBC iPlayer does (obviously not the download option) but live as it were. I think this may be called streaming.
If not can anyone suggest a way of doing this please?
I am in the UK and my daughter is in Japan for three months and rather than email her 500Mb of home video I thought it would be better for her to view it over the internet.
All suggestions appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any ideas.Use MP4 rather tha m4v.
Here's some info about website video...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Movie-Formats.html
... and examples of various players...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Player-Showcase.html
Nowadays its better to use HTML5 playback with an MP4 file with flash fallback for older browsers and Firefox.
Use a poster image and set preload to "none" so that the movie doesn't have to load as the web page is downloading. Never use autoplay.
The VideoJS player is as good as any...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Fallback-To-Flash.html
You could also upload the movies to YouTube or, better still, Vimeo....

Hi
Can I plug Halion 2 into Logic Pro or Logic Express? Or another VST player?
I cant find out how....Logic unfortunately does not support any VST's by themselves. Rather they support AU's (Audio Units). So you cannot plug Halion 2 into Logic easily.
However, I have heard that you can install an AU called Plogue Bidule that allows you to run VST's. It acts as a sort of middle man so that you open the AU that opens the VST. I don't know too much about it, but it appears that they have some content on their website to look at if you are interested.
Hope this information helps!

You may need to prepare yourself for a "World of Hurt" from your wife...
Since the average 0.9 megapixel JPEG photo file of normal graphic complexity stored at a high quality compression setting is 125-135 KBs in size, I would have to assume any QT video files you created of more than a fraction of a second in duration were most likely saved as "reference" files to only be 50-150 KBs. Basically, a reference file is q QT (MOV) file that tells a video player how to play data that is still stored in its original source file container(s). For instance, you could trim and merge a number of files together and save the result as a "reference" file that takes up very little room on your hard drive. Or, you could post fles to a server and create a "reference" file that is small enough to be sent as an email attachment that plays the uploaded data on someone else's computer as long as they are connected to the Internet. Unfortunately, for these reference files to work, all of the resources referenced within the file must continue to exist in their proper locations in order to be found and played by the reference. Since you did not indicate what "but they won't play" really means here or how you actually "moved" your iPhoto library files to the external drive, I can only make some "educated guesses" at this point. (BTW: for future reference, iPhoto has a built-in function that allows you to copy your library to one or more back-up locations and then connect to them by default when iPhoto opens or switch source libraries at will within the opened application.)
If you created reference files and saved them to an external drive, you should be getting an error message telling you the app needs to know where the source files are located so the reference file can re-connect to the resource data. If the original files were also saved, then simple navigate to the source files in oder to tell the app where they are now located. If the source files were deleted as part of the reformatting process, then you are up the proverbial creek whithout a paddle with little or no hope of doing anything about this issue. (I.e., reformatting and then re-installing a system drive usually means you would have little hope of recovering the specific "lost" data you want as there is always a good chance that some of the data segments were overwritten during the process.) -
Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.

Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.

Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?
Making a disc with iDVD on my Mac won't play on any other player why?
How about some details on how you made the disc. What sort of media did the project contain? What brand and type of media did you use? What burn speed did you use?
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Play video from any embed code
Is it possible to make a video player in Flash such that it can play videos in any Embed code. I don't think it is possible but would like to confirm...
Embed codes are provided by various websites to play flash videos in their video player. Is it possible to make a custom video player which can play video from any such site?

Cannot export video from iphoto to other location
Hello ,
i could not move video from iphoto to external hard disk or desktop. I'm using Mac Pro with RD. The steps I did as below:
1. Select the video
2. File, export , select origin, ok
3. error message appear stated that video could not be prepared .
Any way to do it ?The problem is that iPhoto is looking in the wrong place for the file:
/ Volumes/Sagate/Iphoto_Library_2014.photolibrary/Previews/2014....... "
It should be looking in the Originals folder.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

HT1338 Issue w/playing videos from iPhone in iPhoto
QuickTime isn't playing videos in iPhoto downloaded from my iPhone 5. How do I fix this? Thanks!
Create a smart album with the following criteria:
Filename contains .m
This will group all of your movie/video files together, .mov, .m4v, and mp4. Then check to see if the lates videos are included. If the are Command (right) - click on one of the videos and select Show Event from the contextual menu.
The the videos are not in the library launch Image Capture (located in the Applications folder) and use it to manually upload the videos to a folder on the Desktop. From there import them into iPhoto.

Is there a software like flash player for ipad.what software do I exactly need in order to play videos from websites?
NKafafi88-
There may be a couple Apps that may help, but I understand they don't work very well. The best solution would be to contact the owners of the websites and let them know they need to update their site.
The alternative I use, is to download the problem video onto my computer, and convert it to M4V or MP4 format using a program like HandBrake <HandBrake>. Then it can be added to iTunes and synced with the iPad.
