Satellite L850D WMP and VLC player don't play video but audio

Hi,
I have an L850D running win 7 and suddenly windows media player, VLC does not play video file but plays the audio file.
When using youtube video plays.
Does anyone have any ideas??

What files are exactly affected?
Did the video files work properly in the past?
If not then I think you have got this issue because of missing codec.
If the files worked properly in the past, then the issue may occur because you have installed or removed some codec from the system.
Maybe you should check if you can go back to restore point where they all worked fine.

I downloaded several cds to my external hard drive in .mp3 format. Later, I copied them to iTunes. The songs only play when the external hard drive is plugged in. I tried to load the songs from iTunes to my iPhone and the songs don't play.

Hi skoorb1,
When adding music to iTunes, you can set it to either make a local copy of the file, or simply point to the original location of the file (for example, on an external hard drive). If it is set to do the latter, it will not be able to play or transfer those files when the external hard drive is not plugged in. You may find the following article helpful:

I updated my ipad1 thru iTunes from 4.2.1 to 4.3.5 and now having issues, especially playing videos. Anything I should know. I have not jail broken my iPad and don't want to.

you update it by connecting it to a computer running itunes and starting itunes up on the computer clicking on it in devices and clicking on the update button in the content menu
if it say you have the latests then it's because you don't own an iphone 3gs but an iphone 3g where the version 4.2.1 was the last released
in that case you can't ever update it

VLC and even Quicktime stutters while playing videos

VLC and even Quicktime stutters while playing videos, more so for HD content. Any tips to improve performance? I have already tried turning off automatic graphics switching, did not make things better
I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro 15 inch, and i have had this problem from forever

I'm sorry, I didn't explain myself correctly. I was referring to watching a video on the iPod. It is really annoying when the video freezes momentarily, and the audio continues to play smoothly, but by the time the video catches up, you have lost several frames of your video. You know what I mean? Really annoying...

Let me ask you this:
How can you "watch" a video while you are scrolling
around in your menus? There is only one screen on my
iPod and I can only use it to watch videos OR scroll
through menus. When I press the menu button while
watching a video, the iPod goes back to the previous
menu. Then, when I go back to the video, it starts
back exactly where it was when I pressed the menu
button in the first place. Apparently, it pauses
while you are looking through the menu screens. Now
with music, I understand what you're saying but I
haven't had any stuttering or anything while browsing
the menus. The video is a bad example because it
doesn't work like you have explained....

Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

Hi,
I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
Many thanks,
Ian Pickering

This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

Ipod u2 5.5 Don't play videos.

Mi ipod don't play videos. I can hear the sound but the video don't see. but when i connect the ipod to the computer, i can see the video in itunes without problems.
Looks like the ipod recognized the video like a song. i see the alblum artwork and the info of the song, and also i hear the audio, but don't reproduce the video.
The video was downloaded in iTunes!

ARe you going to Videos -> Movies/Music Videos/Whatever to play it, or are you browsing under Music -> Artists/Albums/Etc? If you are browsing under Videos, check to make sure that TV Out is off by going to Videos -> Video Settings. If it is on, turn it off.

Firefox plays video, but no sound. when I type about:plugins in location bar, it shows the firefox default plugin is not enabled. When I look at my plugins, it says it is enabled. I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result.

I have uninstalled 3.6 and re-installed with the same result. Why do I have no sound. Computer plays I-tunes and all other sounds, just no web browser sounds.

Glad you seem to have sorted things out.
The warning about the warranty is light hearted, I think at one stage it warned "here be dragons" but also intended to make us think as it warns that making changes may produce problems.

Satellite C850 - Why does Flash Player give me choppy videos?

Hi, I have the Satellite C850-1MD, PSCBWE, Windows 8.1 64-bit.
I have two problems.
A. When I use Flash Player for streaming videos it gives me choppy playback. It *doesn't matter* if I use lower quality videos because it chops even though I use the lowest quality on sites like Youtube.
B. If I use Silverlight it streams nicely up to 2 mbit/s but if i raise it to 3 mbit/s the playback gets choppy both with sound and graphics.
Is it my broadband connection lacking capacity?
No.
I also have an old stationary AMD Dual Core with Nvidia 8400 GS and the same conncetion: it streams videos in Silverlight with 3 mbit/s flawlessly.
I've tried with IE 11, Chrome and Firefox. I've cleared the cache. I've turned off and on hardware acceleration, but with the same results.
When i search for the latest drivers for my Toshiba I'm getting confused because I get several options both for sound and graphics card. How can I find out which driver versions I should have installed?
Do you have any other solutions?

> A. When I use Flash Player for streaming videos it gives me choppy playback. It doesn't matter if I use lower quality videos because it chops even though I use the lowest quality on sites like Youtube.
This is mostly related to slow data streaming.
You said its not related to your broadband connection. Well, it must not be an issue with your broadband connection but Im thinking about server load.
> When i search for the latest drivers for my Toshiba I'm getting confused because I get several options both for sound and graphics card. How can I find out which driver versions I should have installed?
You can find your devices in device manger.
The device manager provides you info about all devices which are built in the notebook.
But honestly dude, Im sure its not a driver problem.
By the way: the notebook specifications say that the notebook supports Intel HD Graphics 3000
The Intel HD GPU is an internal graphic card which does not provide a lot graphic performance. Nevertheless it should be good enough for video streaming. However, you could check the Intel HD media control panel to improve Intel HD GPU performance

Perian and VLC still can't play .avi

I searched the board and a couple of threads recommended using Perian and VLC to play an .avi file. I've downloaded both and the file still does not play. These look to solve the problems encountered by other posters but I'm feeling pretty lame right now since it's not working for me. I'm being pretty good about opening the file the right way (it's not that hard) but I still get audio and a black screen with Quicktime and just the controller with audio, no video using VLC. Any suggestions?
Jeff

I'm a point and click download guy and that site looked like I needed a little more tech skill than I have to make work. I have an HP laptop via my job so we can view the file that way when I bring it home. My son made his own Lego Movie with the Park District and he was crushed we couldn't play it. I guess the Park Dist is using some pretty old PC's.
Thank for your help,
Jeff

.DV and .MOV files don't play smoothly in the Final Cut Express viewer

Hi,
I bought Final Cut Express 4.0 yesterday, so I have no experience with it. I only used iMovies HD 6.0.3 a little before.
Problem:
When I import my .MOV and .DV files into FCE 4.0, then try to watch them in the viewer they don't play smoothly. The sound is fine, but the video is not smooth, it plays in stops and starts.
Just to see, I tried importing a .FLV file and it plays just fine in the viewer, both audio and video runs smoothly with no 'stop starting'
I experimented with importing different file sizes of .DV and .MOV, from 3GB to a few MB even and even very small clips of a few KB. But regardless of the size I always have this problem of them not running smoothly in the viewer.
One of the .MOV files I tried to import was a reference file, and I later read in the manual that FCE may only recognise the original file. But I have the same problem even with the Original file and other self contained files that have been copied from the original. So it doesnt seem to just a problem with reference files.
Any idea what the problem might be?
Is it something to do with how I have FCE set up?
Or is it that the .MOV and .DV files are not being properly imported and is this why they are not running smoothly in the viewer?
I'm using a MacBook with 10.4.11 operating system, which the guys at my local Apple store said would be fine for using FCE 4.0.
Hope someone can help,
Ian.

Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.

Videos online and itunes library don't play correctly

I'm having problems watching videos and listening to my itunes library on my macbook pro. When watching videos the audio keeps going but the video stops and then skips forward every 10 seconds or so. In iTunes, my music stops and starts every few seconds. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello skachic20,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having some issues with iTunes on your Mac. You may want to isolate the issue further by testing to see if it persists in a new user account:
