Safari and Windows Video Files

I can't remember the exact time when this started but recently when I try to watch baseball clips or any other videos on safari that were windows media files safari would say that it does not have a plug in to play the video and would ask to open Windows media player instead. Is there anyway that I can go back to watching the video on safari and not have to open up WMP?

The codec that you need is Flip4Mac, as Microsoft itself recommends, because Microsoft has abandoned Windows Media Player on the Macintosh platform. From the Windows Media for Mac website;
Microsoft will continue to offer Windows Media Player 9 as a free download for Macintosh users, but has no plans to provide future updates or product support for Windows Media Player for Mac.Microsoft continues to provide Windows Media Player for the Mac 9 for download, however it is a PowerPC application and so it's internet plugin is not available to Safari on an Intel Macintosh because Safari is running on Intel code on an Intel Mac.
If you want to use the WMP plugin with Safari on an Intel Mac, you must run Safari with Rosetta, in which case none of the of the Intel plugins will be available.
There are plenty of video formats available from which websites can choose, which run on multiple platforms; Quicktime, RealPlayer, Flash. I view plenty of Windows Media using the F4M plugin, but there are new versions of Windows Media which may never be available to Mac users in the future. This is a decision that Microsoft has made, not Apple, and it's Microsoft's problem, not Apple's. It is also the decision of any website that has chosen to limit the availability of their media to folks using the Macintosh platform.

You cannot access files in the backup on your computer.
Do you mean that you synced with iTunes and transferred your purchased videos and app documents? If that is what you mean, what videos are you talking about? If they are videos that you took with the iPad, they do not sync to iTunes. What files?
What exactly are you trying to do? Details please.

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

How to completely remove safari and all its files?

I have Windows Vista and I need to COMPLETELY remove Safari and ALL its files. It is important that it is completely removed, and I've already tried simply uninstalling (from "uninstall a program" in the control panel)it but it doesn't get rid of EVERYTHING safari. I think some of the files are damaged or something because Safari won't open. How would I do this?

Just go into Control panel and Uninstall programs. Select Safari and select uninstall.

Updated to 7.0 and lost video file purchased from iTunes

I updated my iTunes today and a video file I purchased from iTunes in February is gone. The file is still on my iPod because I have not sync'ed it yet. I know that once I do the file is lost for good. Is there a way of preserving it and putting it back into iTunes without repurchasing it?
Thanks,

This happened to me, but I lost all my purchased music files when I downloaded itunes 7. I should of waited, so all the bugs could be worked out, cause I lost over $100 worth of songs, and have no idea how to get them back. Anybody?

Where to download and manage video files at...

I take most my videos on my iPhone 4 now. I notice I can download them in iPhoto. They then show up in iMovie.
#1 - are they working off the same database/same files or is it copied over into iMovie?
I just purchased Aperture 3. It is supposed to work with video files.
I also do use a handheld HD video recorder on rare occasions, but haven't used it in a while to be honest.
I was pondering all this and am wondering the best way to manage my video. I use Final Cut Express for most of my video editing, although I do now use iMovie some since I purchased a macbook pro.
So I'm all over the place, I suppose. iPhoto to download, iMovie for some editing, FCE for editing, and now Aperture enters the picture.
I'm not sure if Aperture works off the iPhoto library or if I have to download it separately into Aperture.
Somewhere in this mixture, I guess I'm wondering the most simple direct way to manage my video files. What method should I import my video files: iPhoto? iMovie? Aperture? or does it matter? Do they all access the same basic structure of files or do they do their own thing and copy from one source to another?
And if I'm going to mix files from my iphone and hand held HD, I'm wondering the best way to basically download and manage video files.
Suggestions appreciated.

Saving into iPhoto certainly works. If you save it there, iMovie can access it, but iMovie will not duplicate it.
You should have the option in Aperture to have Aperture be the default application and if so, your videos would be there. Once again, iMovie can see them and edit them without duplicating them.
However, to me, the most straightforward way would be to import the movies directly from your phone into iMovie. Then you can use all the library management features of the iMovie Events.
To do this, I would open the Image Capture Utility and plug in your iPhone. You should see the iPhone listed as a device in Image Capture. Right click on this device, and select iMovie as a default application. It has been a while since I did this, so that is approximate, but it should get you there.

Can I save both DVD-R and DVD-Video files onto the same DVD?

Can I save both DVD-R and DVD-Video files onto the same DVD?

Hi Stan,
I just want the user to be able to run my video clips either on a
computer or on a standard DVD player. It would be nice to include both
formats on a single disc. I am new to this and am not sure what format
is most widely used for standard DVD players. Thanks for your response
and any guidance you can give me.

It is impossible to use 10.4, Safari and Windows Media Player

it is impossible to use safari to access a site with streaming video without having your mac freeze, i found the only combo i use to freeze everytime, first i install windows media 9, then i go to myspace.com using the safari browser, then i acess a page of someone who has a streaming video file such as a music file, then my safari locks up and freezes. This happens every, single, time. I know its not a fluke and i know i didnt do anything wrong and i enjoy myspace so there is no way that i can have media player and it ****** me off so i want to know if there are any alternatives or if my mac is just a piece of crap and messed up. without the media player i have to deal with a pop up everytime i access someones page telling me to download media player even though it doesnt work so thats kinda hilarious. k someone help me out

I know nothing about all this stuff but for kicks I went to the site you said and when I play a normal music file it works fine in safari. It does load slowley. When I tried to view a music video it says you have to have "windows media 9" and you must use "internet explorer". Have you tried using your internet explorer in your applications folder instead of safari? I still could not get the videos to work but I have had this problem befor. Sometimes if you keep messing with the settings in the network tab of the media player it eventually works. But the site itself looks like they have a little ways to go and just might not be ready for mac yet. If you don't get this fixed I can try the site on my pc at work tomorrow and see if that works, unless you have already tried this. But bottom line with safari is its not compatable. At least what their site states.

Convert DVD and other video files for playback on iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc.

So, how are your holidays going? Or, if you're reading this on the weekend, how'd they go? Watching various sorts of DVD movies and videos is a better idea for a pastime during your free time. To make your holiday be more colorful with movies, I prefer to recommend an application to help you guys deal with different kinds of video resources, no matter the DVD files or footages shot by camcorders, or videos in formats of FLV, AVI, MKV, etc., in a word, the converted videos will be supported by whatever portable devices you have, including PSP, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPhone (3G), iPhone, Zune, Zune 2, Blackberry, Nokia, Creative Zen, Sony Walkman, iRiver PMP, Archos, PS3, Apple TV, Xbox, iPAQ, Pocket PC, Mobile Phone, etc. The software is Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate, which combines DVD ripper and Video Converter together, and enables you to edit and convert any DVD, video, audio and image files to other popular formats including MP4, 3GP, FLV, MPEG-4, AVI, MPG, MOV, 3G2, VOB, FLAC, MKA, OGG, WAV, AC3, M4A with super fast conversion speed and excellent image and sound quality.
The detailed user guide will be shown in the following part:
Step 1: Add video and DVD file
You are allowed to add videos to this program via clicking "Add Video", and add DVD files to it via clicking "Load DVD". DVD files can be loaded in three ways: "Load DVD ROM", "Load DVD Folder", and "Load ISO/IFO".
Step 2: Select output format and set destination folder
Videos and DVD files can be added to this program at the same time, after that, you can click the drop-down list of "Format" to select an output format for your portable devices. The format profile provides you with formats for iPod, iPhone, PSP, PS3, BlackBerry, etc. Meanwhile, you can click the folder icon at the end of "Output" to decide where to save the output files. Moreover, if you want to combine multiple files to be a single file, you can tick "Merge into one file".
Step 3: Set advanced settings
If you have the needs of adjusting video and audio parameters to make good control of the output file quality and size, you can click "Settings" button to do it, and all the options like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, audio channel, etc. are changeable on the following window.
Step 4: Start conversion
As soon as the above steps are finished, you can click "Convert" button to start conversion, the following ripping window will show you clearly about all the conversion info. After finished, you are able to find out the output files via clicking "Open" button.

We're not supposed to talk about DVD conversion according to the terms of service ...
So I'll assume these VOB files are from your HOME MOVIE DVDs you burned yourself and suggest the Videora iPod Classic Video Converter.
http://www.videora.com/
It's a really nice program that converts not only your HOME MOVIE DVD VOB files, but AVI, MPEG, and others. You can set the CPU usage from high to low with five settings, it has a queue which you can add multiple files to, and it will minimize to the taskbar for compact convenience. There are other Windows programs that do much the same, but I prefer Videora. Oh ... and it's freeware!!

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Trial Version - Error when importing mts and mp4 video files

First time using Adobe Premiere Pro (and I'm using the trial version). When I try to import an mts video file (and tried to import an mp4 file as well), I get the error: Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 has stopped working. And then the program crashes. Please help.
My computer specs: Windows 7 with Service Pack 1,Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.2GHz, RAM: 4.00 GB, System type: 64-bit

Hi Catherine,
Welcome to the Adobe forums.
Please try the steps mentioned below and check if it works for you.
1. Launch Premiere Pro and create a Project, go to File menu>Project Settings>Renderer and change the Renderer to Software only mode, delete previews if you get a prompt and then try to import the clip.
2. If step 1 fails or the Renderer is already on Software only mode, go to Start Menu and search for Device Manager, go into Display Adapters and Right click on the Graphics card to select Update driver software option, on the next screen choose "Browse my computer for driver software", then choose "Let me Pick from a list..." option and from the list select "Standard VGA Graphics adapters. You might need to change the screen resolution of your screen and once done restart the machine again.
Launch Premiere Pro and import the clip to check.

Vinay

How to embed Windows video files in iweb

I uploaded several videos to a web site using iweb for a fortune 500 company only to find out the wmv videos I put in didn't load because iweb uses a quicktime container for all videos dropped on the page. After spending a lot of time on this site (how to link video files, embeding google/youtube video) I finally came across another site that was very help. If you interested here it is:
Home page: http://www.mediacollege.com/
Embedded wmv files: http://www.mediacollege.com/video/format/windows-media/streaming/
Just drop in the html code and change the file names and location.
I'm new to mac and this discussion board has been very helpful. I hope Apple includes a way to embed windows file. There are too many PCs out there to ignore.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I choose to ignore Windows use until I need to fire up my PC. I don't create files for WMP format, either.
You are leaving out some import "steps" when you say "drop in the html code" because this requires post-publishing edits with a plain text editor.
And the code shown is now out of date as Microsoft "change the rules" (again) for ActiveX content.
This page code would generate an ActiveX alert dialog asking the viewer what to do. Many viewers just click "No" and move on.

Starting and stopping Video File that is Attached to Augmented Reality

I'm trying to do a little augmented reality. I'm using an action script to call a video and play it. The problem that I'm having is that the sound is starting the moment the window is open and the video plays with the marker is shown. I want the sound and video to only play when the marker is seen. I would like it to pause when the marker is removed and then resume where it left off when the marker is seen again. Here is a copy of my code if someone could look it over and tell me what I'm doing wrong. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just correct my mistake. I don't understand enough about coding for you to just say Netstream.pause() and netstream.resume. I don't know where to put that information in. ANY HELP is appreciated greatly.....

Helpmeun,
   I am still learning PV3D and AR but from looking this is the only thing I can think of.... not exactly sure what you are doing, but if you only want the video to play when the face of the plane with the video is visible... try something like this....
In your AR code.... most people add a listener to the stage or application for the ENTER_FRAME event and use that for doing their maker detection (I use a timer, but either way it is a modification to your event handler function)... something like....
constructor or creationCompleteHandler()
    // FLAR initialization code
   // PV3D initialization code
   stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, updateRenderHandler, false, 0, true); // This would probably go in your onInit override
The code you are wanting to change is the code in the handler function when it detects or doesn't detect the pattern....
private function updateRenderHandler(hEvent:Event):void
          // Capture the video as bitmap for pattern recognition
          m_hBitmapRenderer.draw(m_hVideo);
            try
               // Redetect and see if it is high confidence.... then update and show
                if ( m_hFLARdetector.detectMarkerLite(m_hFLARraster, 120) && ( m_hFLARdetector.getConfidence() > 0.75 ) )
                    // Get and set transform matrix from detector and update model
                    m_hFLARdetector.getTransformMatrix(m_hFLARtransform);
                    m_hFLARcontainer3D.setTransformMatrix(m_hFLARtransform);
                    // Re-render the scene
                    m_hRenderer.renderScene(m_hScene, m_hFLARcamera, m_hViewport);
                    // Show viewport
                    m_hViewport.visible = true;
                    // !!!!!!! YOUR CODE SHOULD BE
                    m_hNetstream.play();
               // The pattern is not recognized in the video
                else
                    m_hViewport.visible = false;
                    // !!!!!!! YOUR CODE SHOULD BE
                    m_hNetstream.pause();
Hope that helps.....

How to split Large mp4 and AVI video files to smaller scenes

Hi All
I’ve been looking into how to cut-up large files ready for import into CS4. So far all I can find are the usual suspects that only lets you cut a section from a file. Dose anyone use any software that enables you to split a large video file (MP4, AVI and so on) into say 20 sections all in one hit?
I do a lot of HD onboard cams, so the video is set to fire and only shut off when the run has finished. I then end up with about 60 percent of the file (in diferent parts) I need to trash.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated indeed!
Xray

However, I have never used that, so do not know how well it might work for your needs, if at all. I just do not know. I believe that Deskshare has a user forum, and that might be a good place to try, after you've looked down their FAQ's.
I hope that others will have a definitive answer for you, with iron-clad suggestions.

Safari and Windows Media Player

Can anyone tell me why both Safari (and for that matter Chrome) browsers do not open Windows Media Player in a separate window -- but instead opens it in the same browser window....Is there anyway to code this or change this so it will open in a separate window?

Thank you for the reply -- but what do you mean by this...also, I notice that Safari on windows is very slow when closing out a Windows Media Player -- so you know why this happens....
