could anyone please tell me how to view the video i have already downloaded the flipformac to view media player content
i just dont understand why quicktime wont play the video
thanks in advance

Go to Adobe.com........
If you can see their site...it about 99.9%, you have the flash plug-in...But, for lack of doing anything else... re-install the flash plug-in...At one point in installing the plug-in, make sure you close out all bowsers.....

  • Cant play video downloaded from youtube

    I have downloaded video from youtube in uc browser but when I try to open that video it shows a message that " this video cant be played in this phone".Also the format of video was mp4.From the day I have purchase this Lumia 520 no video I have seen in this device.Also in somecases it shows the message "you need to install a new app fir this task " but when I open the store no app found.When I open you tube in uc browser it shows only mp4 format to download that video.Earlier I have used android phones in that no problem like this I have ever found ,that phone support ever video I instal.Please give me some solution.

    Which Android did you use before?
    YouTube uses a lot of different codecs in their MP4 container. Mobile phones do not support all video codecs, some do support less, some operating system support more. On a personal computer with a tool like MediaInfo, you are able to inpect the content of the MP4 container and which video codec is inside of it actually.

  • Quicktime wont play video ANY VIDEO and I cant fix it

    I have downloaded all of the software on the quicktime website and it still wont play any of my videos. all of my stuff has different extensions and i have tried a ton of varieties of them but still nothing.
    Does anyone know what i could use to fix this.
    I have been looking in the forms all day but i cant find any suggested software at all.
    Please Email me at [email protected]
    This is not what i expected from apple or any of its products.

    What is the format or file extension you're trying to open via QuickTime Player?
    QT can open dozens of file formats and sometimes you need third party components or codecs to view non supported formats.

  • Playing video content from external websites

    Hi
    I'm posting under QuickTime though I'm not 100% sure that this is the appropriate place. Please let me know if not.
    I was trying to watch a short video clip from a news site but when I clicked on Play Video the QuickTime icon appeared with a question mark watermarked in it. I have QuickTime installed so I don't know what this is trying to tell me.
    On a related issue, some external sites require RealPlayer to play videos. Although I also have RealPlayer installed and although sometimes these videos play, I do get a message from various sites saying something along the lines that the site has content with MIME and that I don't have the plug-in and therefore it can't play. On some of these sites it then says to download RealPlayer.
    I'm not really up to speed on videos etc and so would welcome any advice. I always thought that my Mac would play most things.
    thanks for your time

    These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
    Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
    RealPlayer from http://uk.real.com/player/
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    Now repair permissions and restart.
    The world should now be your oyster!
    You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

  • E65 wont play video files from 6233

    just switched from a 6233 to an E65 and have transfered all my content to it.
    the .3gp video files that were originally recorded on the 6233 come up with an error message and then only play the sound. all other .3gp files that were sent to me from other makes of phone play fine, as do the .mp4 files.
    Anyone know whats going on? its pretty dumb for a newer nokia to not be able to play older nokia video's, yet play sony ericsson and samsung videos....

    It is a little complex and it isnt really a UCM problem. Basically you are seeing differences between client software.
    In Mozilla you can configure which external apps are used to open certain types of file
    In Mozilla you can view Tools > Options > Applications and configure which app opens files (by file extension)
    IE has some functionality like this in Tools > Internet Options > Programs however it is not as fine grained. It sounds like IE thinks it can natively display this file.
    I strongly recommend that you find out what the Content-Type header is using Live HTTP Headers or similar.
    THough you have configured the filetype in UCM you need to make sure that the webserver is set correctly as well if you are using weblayout URL as this is not being served by the UCM java process but by the webserver itself straight from the file system. Playing with the content-type header will change this behaviour.

  • Why do I see a black box when playing video content from yahoo?

    If there is an article that includes video I can't see it. I can hear the audio, but I only see a black box. If I place my mouse over the progress bar I can also see the small screen with the preview with the actual picture of the video.
    Thanks,
    Adris

    Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
    Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
    Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
    Great to have the Video back

    Is your friends phone jailbroke? Also are you using the facebook app? If so then you need to ask the developer of the app what the problem is.

  • Not able to play video directly from websites like metacafe in safari browser

    Hi
    I recently purchased an iPhone 4S however I am not able to play videos directly from websites like metacafe.com and all others. Whereas few of my friends who bought iPhone 4S / 5 (factory unlocked) versions can very well play videos from all websites. Whenever they browse videos, it start streaming on their phones and stArt playing in QuickTime player. What is the reason of this behavior, is there something missing in my iPhone?
    Thanks for your help in this

    Any inputs on this will be highly appreciated...
    Someone please help on this...

  • Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

    I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
    Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
    Please help me.

    Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
    I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
    Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

  • Encore wont play video files

    I recently upgraded encore from ver.2 to cs3 and find that ver.cs3 wont play video files.
    It wont play the file in the project window, it just stops at the first frame. If I move the slider below the viewer the video material is updated but it wont play.
    In the monitor view it wont play either, I can view the material by manually moving the cursor.
    It wont play a preview either, it just stops.
    It builds a DVD without problems and the dvd plays fine without errors but the program wont play any video files.
    Ver.2 plays all the same video files without problems.
    Please help!

    Whew!
    Glad that you got it fixed, and thanks for posting what worked for you.
    Good luck with the interview,

    PS - BTW, welcome to the forum!

  • Is there a file browser which can play DVD contents from Time Capsule?

    Using File Manager (free Zheng) app I can reach all my files on the Time Capsule (3TB) from my iPad Air2 (64GB). Also I am able to play video content MP4. So far so good.
    However I have also several DVD VOB files of homevideo. These I can play on my iMac using DVD player or VLC.
    Is there a way to play the DVD content just as easy as the MP4 files do on my iPad? Most file browser do not support this.
    I have read a solution to perform it via a server via my iMac. However this is not to my liking.
    Should it be possible to re-direct a file URL to lets say VLC player like Stratospherix filebrowser can do?
    Is there a good file browser which can play VOB DVD contents?
    Can anybody help me before buying several apps and perform the trial and error method ?

    I'd recommend File Explorer (orange icon on the iOS app store) - find your NAS with it and try and play your media. It has a video decoder built in so should be able to handle your MP4s. If not, Plex is very good - but would require £2.99 and your Mac to be on when you wanted to watch on your iPad. Let me know how you get on.

  • Quicktime wont play my movie

    quicktime wont play my video cd's. when i drag and drop... it says there is an error opening it up.

    Quicktime has it's limitations and can't, natively, play certain video formats.
    Try VLC.  It should be able to play anything you throw at it.

  • Why won't iTunes 10.3 play video shared from iTunes 10.2

    Hi all.
    I upgraded iTunes 10.2 to iTunes 10.3, both running under Leopard on an Core 2 Duo iMac. iTunes 10.3 will now not play video shared from another iTunes 10.2 instance running under Snow Leopard elsewhere on my network. It'll play the audio from those video files, but not the moving images.
    This all worked fine when I had iTunes 10.2 running under Leopard; and the video in question shares fine from 10.2/Snow Leopard to, say, my iPod Touch.
    Any thoughts?

    Have upgraded to 10.3.1, with no improvement.
    Have also noticed that this behaviour is only exhibited when trying to play shared content in a separate window: play it in the iTunes window, and it works fine.

  • QuickTime wont play .mov file

    Does anyone know why QuickTime wont play a .mov file from an iLearn 08 training DVD. It would not import into iMovie, which is what the file was for, iMovie training. When I try to play it tells me that QuickTime does not have the software to play the clip then directs me to the quick time components page. The file has a 1920X1080 dimension and it has a HDV 1080i60, Integer (Big Endian) codec. I have downloaded various codec packages for quicktime such as flip4mac, perian, etc. Can any one help me out?

    Hi,
    I actually did contact the publisher and they were very helpful. Here is a copy of the email they sent me. It should solve your problem. Good luck!
    Thank you for contacting Peachpit Press. We apologize for the errors with
    these files. The QuickTime clips used in chapters 5 and 6 were encoded by
    the author using the HDV 1080i60 codec. iMovie 08 only works with the 1080i
    codec. At the time this book shipped, iMovie 08 was not available for
    testing.
    New files are available at peachpit.com here:
