Problems with wmv previews in SL...anyone?

Hi guys
I am having a weird issue lately: when i preview a wmv, it starts fine, but if i try to skip ahead the file, it doesn't let me do it, going back to the beginning of the clip.
looks like when you watch a streaming movie, where you gotta wait before that you can actually skip ahead to an advanced part of the movie....weird since it was just fine a couple of weeks ago.
Same when i play it in QT; while when i use VLC i can skip ahead, but the video takes a while to get synced (just hear audio for a second or 2, and then the video starts again); this happens with any WMV, while mp4 and QT files are not affected, nor the AVI files (and not just one....i tried with many different files encoded in many different ways, but still with wmv extension)
I am not sure if the damage was done by the last update to SL, if is an issue with the codecs (flip4mac, that was updated almost at the same time of SL) or if is some sort of issue that has no rational explanation and i gotta re-install SL (gosh, is not a pc :P).
I tried to remove all the codecs and re-install them (flip4mac, perian, divx) but no luck, same issue; and i can put my hands on flames that it was working just fine a bit ago.
Anyone had the same or similar issue? any idea before that i clean up the machine and put back the os from scratch?
Thanks!

Thanks guys, had to do some QA for telestream to find out what was wrong...so just in case let me clear it up for you
The issue is related to F4M; any build after the 2.2.3.7 on SL shows the issue for me (i went back and forth installing, until i found the latest build that was working, that is the 2.2.3.7); i have also removed every other codec, so i use only f4m and nothing else (and now cannot see anymore in previews the flv vids...guess i will install perian again now:P).
From what the guys at telestream said, seems that there is a different way to handle files on their app, but i tried to install the new build and then to change the settings as they specified and had no luck, so i guess that either this is an issue with ati hd3850 cards, or i am getting a bug that nobody else gets, since i was mainly the only guy reporting this issue on their forum.
Anyway, now with that build installed i can play the files like i used to, so no harm done; i just hope that they will realize that they gotta fix it, since i would like to get a free update
So if you see that your preview or QT does not play anymore WMV in the right way, just install the 2.2.3.7 and you should be good to go, until they will come up with a solution
BTW this is my thread on the perian website:

  • Problems with Apple Preview filled forms and compatibility with Windows?

    Anyone else having problems with Apple Preview filled out forms and compatibility with Microsoft Windows after Lion?
    I've had it happen recently with two different people, where the data I had entered on a fillable PDF form could not be seen by Microsoft Windows, but I saw my data just fine.
    I don't know what version of Adobe Acrobat they were running.
    Thanks,
    kt

    You will get that first message when the document has been changed in a way that invalidates the internal digital signature that's applied when a document is Reader-enabled. Certain changes are allowed (e.g., filling fields, commenting, signing) and will not invalidate the signature, but others are not. The exact cause of the change is often hard to track down, but it can be due to font problems, some type of file corruption, or something that Acrobat/Reader attempts to correct when the file is opened/saved. You will also get the message if the users system time is not correct and is currently set to some time before the document was Reader-enabled. It seems best to use the most recent version of Acrobat to enabled the documents and recent versions of Reader to work with them.
    It problem is probably not related to the user using anything in the Sign pane.

    Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
    If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
    How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

  • I had a problem with print preview of billing document.

    HI all,
    I had a problem with print preview of billing document which contains two output types ZR1 ZR2..
    For the footer text of billing document I maintained the font size as 7,5 pts, But when i go for print preview from output type ZR1 the font size of footer text is very small and looks good for output type ZR2.
    If i change the print options-->logical destination of output type ZR1 same as Output type ZR2, the footer text looks good.
    I think there is some issue with logical destination in print options for the output type ZR1, how can i resolve  it.

    hi,
    for both the output types , r u using same sapscript or smartform?
    if yes then, u can control it in output options of smartform and also in sapscript , you can control through if condition.
    and if differect sapscript or smartform then you should not get such problem.
    you can check the sapscript or smartfrom in TNAPR table.

  • Problems with video previews: image freezes when scrubbing (CS6)

    I just installed CS6 on my computer after working with CS5.5 and I encountered a strange problem with my EOS5D Mk 2 and also Ixus 100IS footage in Bridge CS6 (actually this happens with every video).
    In CS5.5 I was able to preview my mov files and scrub through them without many problems (aside from a casual crash, but hey... )
    In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again. You can imagine that scrubbing through videos isn't much fun..
    Has anyone ever had a problem like that with CS6?
    Since CS5.5 is still installed, I checked and found out, that in Bridge CS5.5 everything is still working fine: No video freezes there - only in CS6
    I already updated to the latest graphics card driver and all updates from CS6. Does anyone have an idea what I could do?
    some stats about my computer:
    win7 64bit
    nvidia geforce GTX 590, driver 301.42
    no other video software installed
    Aside from that, I also realized that video quality in the preview area isn't particularly brilliant (neither in CS5.5 nor in CS6). Since the video is scaled to the preview window size, I sometimes get scaling artefacts/moirees. Is there a way to smooth the video playback, like you could in a regular video player?

    Perhaps your understanding of rendering is different than mine.  I think of it more as combining edits to form a new video.  Are you using rendering as the same as playback?   Also, not sure how you can have a system that has only CS6 files, as files are the same for CS5.5.  I must be missing something here.
    Manniac described the error well "In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again".
    Believe that error is fixed as my video play OK now.

  • Printing Problem with Quicken & Preview

    I recently tried to print a Report in Quicken 2003. It just spit out 2 blank pages. I went back to print window and clicked on Preview and the Report shows but just spits out 2 pages. I went back to print window and did a Print as PDF and saved the file the desktop.
    Opened the PDF with Preview and tried to print - it just spit out 2 blank pages again. Finally opened the PDF with Adobe and it printed fine.
    I've had prior problems with Preview just spitting out blank pages.
    I'm using an HP 6110 that in all other applications prints just fine.
    Any idea why Quicken and Preview just spit out blank pages?
    Thanks,

  • Disk problem with new Macbook Pro - Diagnosis, anyone?

    Hi everyone,
    I just purchased a 15" 2.0 Macbook Pro last week, and I've been having some interesting problems. No, not the problems with the heat and the whine - mine seems to be fine on both accounts. Let me explain my story:
    So I get my new, shiny Macbook Pro from Fedex, came home and booted it up over my lunch break, set up accounts, etc. and everything seemed to be just dandy. So I went back to work and when I got home that evening, booted it up again. This time, however, it stayed on that first gray screen with the apple logo and the spinning "gear" for 5 minutes! Tried several times, and finally got it to boot, but it took about 6 minutes. But some other things didn't seem right - the "Macintosh HD" icon on the desktop was not a cool little HD icon, it was just a folder. And if I'd eject a CD and put it back in it wouldn't mount the disc.
    So I called Apple support.
    The guy had me boot to the install CD and run disk utility. This came up with tons of errors - "invalid node" errors were most common. So I reinstalled OSX from scratch and the problems were gone.
    Until last night.
    I was trying to install the XCode tools, and the installation kept failing, saying "Please try again". So I decided to reboot. And again, I got stuck on the gray screen. Ran Disk Utility, only to have it say it "couldn't repair the disk". Reinstalled OSX, and everything seems fine. Today I'm going to be pretty intense on the HD- doing lots of installing, restarts and reboots to see if the problem shows up.
    Now I know there's a problem, but since the computer is actually working now, I'm worried if I take it in to a service center they'll come back saying everything looks fine. So my question is, does this seem like a problem that could be traced to a bad Hard Drive? Maybe some sectors got screwed up, etc. Anyone with some insight would be helpful, so I can make some suggestions when I talk to the service people.
    Thanks.

    Sounds like your hard drive.
    I have the 2.16 MacBook Pro and it was running fine, but around the time I started to try to install BootCamp/Windows XP my SuperDrive failed to recognize CDR's. So I took it in to have the replaced. I got it back and tried BootCamp again only to have WIndows keep getting corrupted somehow. I then switched to Paralells thinking that would work. Everything was fine for a few days and then Windows got corrupted again. I was getting very frustrated. Last night I was erasing the hard drive completely and zeroing it out, and then tried to repair the disk only to find several errors that couldn't be repaired.
    SO, I'm off to the Apple Store this morning.
    OH, I verified that it was the hard drive (or at least am pretty sure) because I booted off my external hard drive, and got Parallels and Windows XP to run and load flawlessly the first time. All the other times it took several tries to get XP to load properly. I'm typing this running off my external, because when I tried to reload OS X onto the MBP internal drive it ended up having errors.
    good luck!

  • Very frustrating problem with Photoshop Elements 10 - can anyone help?

    I don't know what's happened, and I haven't changed any of the settings or anything.
    When I open a photoshop file I am currently working on, now, no matter what I do, nothing changes in the actual photo. Even when I delete layers to see if it reverts back to the original photo, nothing changes. When I try adding new layers, nothing happens, when I try adjusting something such as opacity, or brightness/saturation, nothing changes.
    I've tried opening/creating other photoshop files and I have the same problem, so it seems a problem with the actual software, rather than individual files. Even after uninstalling then installing the software, the problem is still there.
    Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Or could you direct me to a good help forum/source?
    Many thanks

    Welcome to the forum.
    I would go to the Photoshop Elements Forum, and look for Loraclf's post there, or post with your problem, your equipment info, and the problem. Someone there will be able to help you.
    Good luck,

  • Problem with page preview : transodification of  ':' and '/'

    Hello
    we got a problem with page and iview preview on production system (7.01).
    The preview fail with a simple message "Erreur d'exécution portail / Exception lors du traitement de la requête, envoyez l'ID de l'exception à votre administrateur du portail" ("Portal execution error / exception during request treatment, send exception Id to your portal administrator").
    The user possess full admin role, as weel as autorisations onto the page. He can use the page when it's in the menu, but visualizing the page via preview fail.
    after comparing the preview URL from production system against the preview URL from development, we spotted a difference :
    on the dev portal, the URL is
    http://portal:port/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/pcd!3aportal_content!2fcom.company.directory.SpecificApp!2fcom.company.directory.LeaveRequest!2fcom.company.directory.Employee!2fcom.company.page.MyRequests?sap-config-mode=true
    on the production portal, the preview URL is
    https://portal/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtmode/preview/prtroot/pcd!253aportal_content!252fcom.company.directory.SpecificApp$!252fcom.company.directory.LeaveRequest!252fcom.company.directory.Employee!252fcom.company.page.MyRequests?sap-config-mode=true
    As you can see, the ":" are transcoded into !3a on dev, and !253a on prod (and the "/" are respectively transcoded into !2f and !252f)
    the other difference is the use of an alias (http://portalprod/irj against http://portal:port/irj), and the use of a secured connexion (https).
    does someone know where this problem could come from ?
    regards,
    Guillaume

    Hi Guillaume,
    Could it be possible that there would be a SAP Web Dispatcher on the Production Portal and not on the dev portal.
    You should use a tool like HTTPWATCH to see if you get HTTP redirects.

  • Problems with blurry Iphone 5 photos anyone?

    For some reason all my pictures seem to be blurry using the back camera. Face camera seems ok.  When I tap to focus it gets better but then reverts back to fussy.

    Yes a lot of people are having this issue it's from the ios 6 update. Some users are reporting battery drains a lot after updating their device
    There have always been a lot of battery problems posted about in these forums following each and every iOS update.  Personally, I believe that the battery really isn't discharging any faster, it is just that the charging circuit is confused and needs to be reset. I always perform a setup as a new phone for major updates, for example iOS3 to iOS4, 4 to 5, 5 to 6, which should be a 'reset' for the charging system, but I do a simple update for point releases--6.0 to 6.0.1, etc.  I have never had a problem with battery performance when performing the full update as new, only when I did a 'normal' update for a point release.  If I perform an update with a restore from the old backup after a major update the battery problem did appear.
    After every iOS point update I always do a full reset--home and on/off buttons held down until the Apple appears--three or four times over the course of a couple of days.  I allow the phone to fully charge overnight every night.
    This has always resulted in 'normal' battery life after one or a few reset cycles.  By 'normal' I mean that a fully charged iPhone, with email and other notifications enabled and set to push, and no particular attention paid to battery conserving techniques, will discharge to about 89% over a 10 hour day.  If I make a few phone calls and surf the web a bit then the level has fell to 70% or so, but unless I heavily use my iPhone 5 it doesn't drop below that point.
    Prior to performing the resets the charge level would sometimes drop into the 50's or 60's or even lower in a few hours without using the iPhone.  This problem 'scenario' has happened with every iPhone I have ever owned and I've owned all but the original iPhone.
    As always, YMMV.  I make no claims as to its usability for anyone else.

  • The mail application on my I-Mac dates all mail, whether sent or received, as 5th (of whatever month it is). The computer clock is working, so it's not that. And the time seems to be right. I have no problem with my MacBook. Can anyone help, please?

    The computer clock is fine. I have no problem with my MacBook - just with the I-Mac. Any ideas, please?

    OK Vicky, good clues...
    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.
    Resetting your keychain in Mac OS X...
    If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

  • Loaded atv 4.2.2 problem with netflix login.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    Cannot login to Netflix on Apple TV after the 4.2.2 update.  Ihave done a restore, unplugged and restarted, called netflix and they changed password.  Was able to login to Netflix on Mac Air.  Netflix says call apple.

    I am also having this, and I am 4.4.3.  I'm guessing it's a problem with the Netflix app and how it send the password.  It seems that only passwords containing all numbers work, but I would like to have a more secure password protecting my Netflix account. 

  • Problems with Ericsson F3507g card - does anyone understand Access Connection​s log files?

    I am having big problems getting an f3507g mobile broadband card working on a T500 running XP Pro.
    Have had problems with several machines all supplied in the same batch and it turns out that the BIOS needs to be reset to defaults post installation of the card for it to be properly recognised by the OS.
    Anyway, all machines are now fixed with the exception of one....
    Everything looks okay on the surface - the F3507g card is showing under Device Manager, just to be sure I've reinstalled Access Connections and loaded drivers for the card.  I know that the driver install was successful because it pinged up with the standard driver install success message - 'Windows found new hardware...' about half a dozen times immediately following the install.  Having done the driver install I attempted connection and the CA Internet Security Suite Firewall popped up asking whether I wanted to accept the device as a 'Safe' device - clicked yes to that.
    However, attempting connection never works
    I've tried enabling logging and the log file produced together with a fault report is here.
    I have tried the SIM card under test in another machine and it works. I have also swapped the HDD out of another identical brand new machine and it works with the hardware including the Ericsson card - so the issue has to be software related...
    I could reimage but the user will loose some graphic design application software which is very difficult to reinstall.
    Hope someone that understands Access Connections WWAN debug log files or has had a similar experience might be able to point me in the right direction...
    Many thanks

    @ Deadloss,
    have you checked the power settings in the cards properties? Not that windows is turning it off?
    Are you using a factory image or your own custom image, I'm thinking that maybe a reimage might help ??
    @ schm1tty,
    T-Mobile SIMs work fine, what problems are you having? Maybe you could start a new thread so as not to hijack this one.
