QuickTime distorts DV imports while Media Player does not

I understand NTSC is 525 analog interlaced, etc...
The problem I have is that if I import a home movie (Digital DV Format) and play this raw file in Windows Media Player for example, the aspect ratio is 3:2.
However if I play the same file with Quick Time, the video looks stretch as if QuickTime does not realize that even if the file is 720x480 it needs to be compressed horizontally. Try it out! QT does not adjust for the fact that imported DV The only way so far that I managed to get quicktime to display in the correct aspect ratio 3:2 is to resize the file to 640x480 but that reduces the quality.
Microsoft seem to understand exactly what I am refering to here: take a look at the following link

Now do you understand the problem?

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize new downloaded songs

    I have a Pavilion a4310f Prod Nr:  AY014AA-ABA running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
    I just discovered that Windows Media Player does not recognize songs I recently downloaded from the Wal-Mart Music Download Site.  The songs can be seen in the Music Library in a folder named "Downloads" and I can open each song and it will play when double clicked.  The problem is that I can not create a playlist containing the new songs and burn a copy of the playlist because the songs are not listed in the Media Player library no matter hot it is sorted (Artist, Album, Genre, etc).
    Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You might also want to consider moving the songs to my Music or the folder you have WMP set as your Music folder. You can find/change that folder in WMP by going to File ---> Manage Libraries
    Launch WMP ----> Tools ----> Options --->Privacy and be sure that the Display information from the internet box is checked.

  • Adobe Media Player does not show day 5

    On my computer, the Adobe Media Player does not show day 5. Shows days 1 through 4.
    Also on Day 4, trying to view the video "Create States and How to bind them"
    I get a "corrupt file" error when trying to watch using the Adobe Media Player...
    Also will someone please give a clear statement how to do a download of the files so
    we can watch them off line.  This still isn't clear to me.
    I don't know what Craig is talking about below: How does that relate to downloading the
    files.
    The new instructions and feed links are now live on the Flex in a Week video training home page:

  • Windows Media Player does not play Streaming me

    After installing All the Software for Audigy 2ZS Platinum. My Windows Media Player will not play any video streams from MSN or Yahoo. Is there any known conflict with any of the software or how can I make the software compatible with WMP v0 windows XP.

    Hi,
    Try the following to force Windows Media Player to re-build the Library Database.
    A useful utility for viewing all the files on your PC is called Free Commander, on the link below, as it displays folders that the Operating System normally hides and has a good search function.
    http://www.snapfiles.com/php/download.php?id=107872&a=7122339&tag=601108&loc=10
    This is a zipped file.  If you don't have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip which can be used to open this so that you can run the installer.
    Make sure Windows Media Player and Windows Media Centre are closed.
    Launch Free Commander, double click Users, double click 'your user name', double click Local Settings, double click Application Data, double click Microsoft and double click Media Player.  Delete all the files that have the extension .wmdb - do not delete any folders.
    Close Free Commander and open Windows Media Player - it will now begin to re-build the library database which may take a while, but when it has finished see if the movie files play Ok now.

  • Bug: OS 4.5 Media Player does not allow BB screen to shut off when playing streaming audio

    I updated my Verizon Pearl 8130 to OS 4.5.  Now, when streaming audio from a station such as "Groove Salad" at http://www.somafm.com, the screen does not shut off but stays on indefinitely, wasting precious battery power.  OS 4.3 Media Player did allow the screen to turn off when streaming audio.
    - Bill

    I have a similar issue since upgrading to to 4.5 with my vzw 8130.   with 4.3 I was able to stream audio and then have it run in the background to read messages or address book for example all the while the audio was still playing.   Now once I get the audio streaming and back out to the main menu the media player quits.

  • Windows Media Player does not recognize my device in bluetooth mode.

    Windows Media Player recognizes my device when connected with a USB cable but not when connected via bluetooth in Windows 7. The WMDC recognizes my device in bluetooth mode without any problem. I would like to synchronize my device with Windows Media Player while in bluetooth mode. How can I get Windows Media to recognize my device in bluetooth mode.

    Which Bluetooth device you are talking about ?

  • 3rd party Sansa media player does not appear in Itunes

    A friend of mine gave me his Sansa Clip media player and asked me to put some music on it. He had 20 some songs that I agreed to purchase for him, and then put them on his media player. Well, duh, I've since learned that purchased songs can only be loaded onto Apple devices. So now I've spent $25.00 on music that for the most part, I could care less about.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?
    One last question, the Sansa device does not launch Itunes; nor does it even show up in the Itunes window. The device info does say its mac compatible???

    How do I insure they are mp3's?
    If you bought them from the iTunes Store, they are surely not MP3s. If you bought them from Amazon.com they are MP3s.
    Aren't they locked/protected from converting?
    If you bought them from the iTunes Store, and did so recently, they are unprotected AAC files. You can convert them to MP3 by following the instructions in the Help article "Saving a copy of a song in a new file format." Note that the conversion process leaves you with the new file as well as the original, so make sure you don't stick your friend with the AAC.

  • Adobe media player does not have content after install.

    I just got into school for web development and they sent the cs5 master suite, adobe media player came with it. After installing it and logging in, I went to the adobe tv site and seen a slew of tutorials that I would love to use with adobe media player. Everything I do will not add the videos, adding the rss feed only says its not available and there is nothing in it at all. I am very disappointed in this. Hopefully I am doing something wrong.
    Please advise

    Thank you very much Craig for your help.

  • Windows Media Player does not work on Equium A100-027

    I have an Equium Notebook A100-027 which I bought in February of this year. I have just tried to play my Windows Media Player, but nothing happens when I click on it! It was working fine yesterday, but today it is not working anymore!
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi,
    it would be useful to know which system you have (vista or xp) and if you recently installed some software or windows updates.
    This will perhaps help you and us users to give you better help on your problem.
    Would appreciate some feedback from you. :)
