Stereo balance in Windows Media Enco

I have noticed a problem with stereo balance and separation using sound blaster products for input to Windows Media Encoder. One channel bleeds into the other, and the level indicators in WME don't work properly. Is there a way to correct this? Some other sound cards don't have this problem.

  • Windows Media Center on my HP TouchSmart PC won't switch channels on my attached Cable Box.

    Have a Motorola DCX3501-M DVR (cable box) connected to my HP TouchSmart PC (Win 7 64-bit) in order to view and record HDTV channels.  Problem is I can't get Windows Media Center to communicate with the cable box properly, e.g., when I select a channel to view in WMC (using the PC's remote control) it does not tell the cable box to switch to that channel.  I have the IR cable connected from the rear of the PC and affixed to the front panel of the cable box.  How can I get the cable box to work properly with this PC?

    Hello Curly2U:
               Did you connect the IR cables correctly ?http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Video-Solutions/Products/Video-CPE/All-Digital-Set-Tops/DCX3501-...  Now I look up your cable box.  Take the IR cable that is connected from p.c. IR out port and plug the other end directly into EXT IR IN port. Next to IEEE 1384 and Power  Cord ports. I really do not see how a p.c. remote can control any thing but the computer because these remotes do not have a option to add codes to them like a universal remote does. They also do not have special butons to allow you to contol other devices such as tv's or stereos and cable boxes like a universal remote does. I checked our Help and Support and did not see anything about mentioning controlling other devices.
              You might want to by pass the cable box altogether and  directly plug the cable antenna wire directly into the computer and see if it can tune in cable channels. You might not need the cable box after all. There are two antenna ports on your computer try switching the cable antenna arround. I found out  one antenna port olnly picked up one channel and when I switched the cable cable arround I was able to pick up all the channels.

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer

    I can not find solution to the issue "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the required video codec is not installed on your computer" while attempting to play the file with *.wmv extension. Some computer fail in spite of said missing codec
    being present according the windrows media player in Windows 7 box

    If Rashid's link does not resolve it... consider the below:
    A)  As of this writing, the codec for GoToMeeting webinar recordings ("G2M4" codec) was only mentioned in *one* web page, of about 10 Microsoft web pages I read, to resolve this problem (and that codec is not included, yet, in their diagnostic tool),
    so if you're trying to play a GoToMeeting webinar, simply get the codec for it from their site:  http://www.GoToMeeting.com/codec
    B)  If Windows Media Player (WMP) will not even open the file, you won't be able to get the 4-character codec's name (like "G2M4") from WMP.  But VLC's media player will tell you that code, even when it fails to run the video.... and then you can
    search the internet for it. 
    C)  The problem sometimes is not actually a missing codec.  Other things that have helped others, some from: 
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-pictures/the-windows-media-player-12-could-not-play-the-wma/bb823460-44df-4e8d-ba2c-42ec0e111e5a?page=3
    (1) running the System File Checker (SFC.exe),
    (2) opening WMP first (running both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions) then opening the file from inside them,
    (3) confirming that WMP was the file association for WMV files,  
    (4) Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound, selecting my audio device, and looking for a "5.1" setting (I didn't have one), to change to "stereo",
    (5) checking Tools\Options\Devices\Speakers\Properties\Speaker Properties\AdvancedPlayback\ Speakers /HP\Properties\Advanced\Default Format, to select "CD or DVD Quality" (if that setting appears for your device),
    Good luck,

  • Is There a way to play Windows Media files on the IMac?

    Windows Media Player 9 does not work for intel model, neither do the Quicktime components. Any other alternatives?

    I have had good luck converting the WMA files to mp3s, which my iTunes see and play with no problem.
    Here is how.
    1. Open WMP9 and select copy from CD
    2. from the TOOLS menu at the top select OPTIONS
    3. From OPTIONS select the COPY MUSIC tab.
    4. In the COPY MUSIC page half way down under "copy settings" you will
    see a radio window with a drop down menu. The window is labeled
    FORMAT.
    5. Change the window (typically it is in "Windows Media Audio" to
    "MPEG Layer-3." There is a good instructional tip link right next to
    the drop-down window labeled "Learn more about MP3 formats."
    6. Remember to hit APPLY on the tab at the bottom of the page,
    then close out.
    Now when you copy music into your PC it will be in a medium that both the mac and the PC can use.
    Some notes: If you plan to copy music from your computer to use in your car stereo do so on a CD-R, otherwise there is a good chance the car stereo wont see it.
    You can copy all of your iTunes on a DVD+R, but only your Mac will be able to play them. It is a good way to archive them, but nothing else will play them. WMP9 won't even see them.
    If you don't have the original CDs and are trying to transfer music that is in WMA format you will have to copy it to a CD first, typically a CD that is a Playlist. Then reinstall it as an MP3. When you pull up your menu in WMP9 you will then see the same song repeated twice, but one will have a much smaller file space (the MP3). and will be labled as an MP3. I would suggest keeping both versions if you have the hard drive space, since many ultraportable devices anymore require on or the other.
    As for the WMP9 not working on the iMac, are you sure you activated it? Mine works fine now that I have 2 gigs of RAM. My iMac came with 512, and would routinely freeze up and crash on just about anything. Once I put 2 gigs in it, it became a whole new machine. It works about as well as any PC I have ever seen, and even better than some.
    I would strongly suggest that if the WMP on your iMac is not accepting WMA files from your PC that you call their tech help. Those folks are great!
    Hope this helps,
    Doug

  • Podcasts in Windows Media Player and others

    All the documentation I have read about producing podcasts seems to be oriented to iTunes Store, but it seems that Windows Media Player is now able of manage podcasts (at least with some plugin), with the millions of new people that can now have access to your podcast (yes, many -if not the most- of windows users doesn't have itunes, at least around here).
    Is it a good idea to have two podcasts one for iTunes and one for the rest for the world? or can just one have the format and specifications needed to work in both worlds?

    Thanks Roger. But some things I can't understand.
    - Why you can't select the Left or Right channel of audio? I have tried with one audio pòdcast I have download, I open it with QuicktimePro and I have all the options aviable for both stereo chanels.
    - Since a .mov (h264) is a valid format for iTunes, why is not able to use alternate languages? Is iTunes
    unable to manage this alternate tracks? or is not able to publish a podcast in iTunes having alternate tracks? Can this be done outside iTunes? (through a web page and a rss reader)
    Excuse me if I am a bit lost and I asking some obvious things. But I have been reading many documentation and I a bit lost about the video-format-forest.
    You have a really interesting podcast. I have to carefully listen to it (I'm a jazz musician)

  • Playing video in Windows Media Player

    Ok I know, I'm the dreaded Windows user in the Apple forum. But I have good questions and as soon as I can afford it I'm getting an Apple laptop.
    Why can't I play the videos I downloaded in Windows Media Player 10? I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have a codec to play a .m4v file but where can I get one? Any help?
    Thanks all

    as soon as I can afford it I'm getting an Apple laptop.
    Bravo!
    EDIT: I miread your post. I'll renanswer differently this time.
    Why can't I play the videos I downloaded in Windows Media Player 10? I'm pretty sure it's because I don't have a codec to play a .m4v file but where can I get one? Any help?
    Because Windows media is competing technology. Since there's no real video "standard", different manufacturers use their own proprietary formats whenever they can.
    Depending on the video files you have, you might be able to convert them into some format that can be played on the iPod or in iTunes.
    Since I'm not a Windows user, I am not familiar with the format of videos downloaded using WMP.
    Try to look for a converter that will put your videos into one of the following formats:
    H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
    If you can get your video into one of the above two formats, it will work just fine on the iPod.
    Many conversion utilities have been mentioned in these forums. I believe Videora iPod Converter is popular amongst Windows users. I can't recommend it, since I have no experience with it. I just see it mentioned a lot. Seems users have had mixed results using it.

    I am trying to avoid exporting to dv tape and then re-capturing in premier to get this encode. Any help would be appreciated.

    Eventually i will be doing alot of compression, so when that happens im gonna try to get the company im working with to pay for the needed software. Until then i will back up to dv(which is a great habit to get into) then use microsofts FREE encoder. Which is a shame, because altough I am new to FCP and macs in general, I have really enjoyed the whole transition but I still need to have a PC around for certain things. Hopefully little quirks like this will not exist. By the way do u know if i encode through Premiere or does the microsoft encoder stand alone.

  • TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

    i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes and they will not play in my windows media center. i have never had this problem but the two tracks play on my PC just not in the windows media center and usually all my itunes music plays in there no problem??? any idea what to do? thanks

    I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
    The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

  • I just ripped over 750 movies and they all play and sound great on Windows media player.  Some work on AppleTV and others have no sound.  The Audio is dolby 5.1 and yes I disabled the Dolby on the AppleTV.  Still no sound.  What up That?

    iTunes has no sound for the movies too.  It is obviously an Apple issue since they ALL play just fine on the Windows Media Player. 

    Encoding you say.  I noticed that all the movies without sound are listed in 'Home Video' section of iTunes.  The process used to digitize the movies was identical for all the movies.  Is there a way to identify the encoding problem?  I have redone a movie several times, setting the audio to different levels.  When I set it to Stereo the sound came through, but choppy.

  • Windows Media Format using Flip4Mac

    This problem has just started the last couple of days. I am trying to make windows media files using flip4mac, and keep getting the following error message; "Inconsistent Audio Sample Rate. The media you are exporting contains audio with multiple sample rates". Then when I click the "OK" button on the error message Final Cut crashes and quits.
    I've tried different movie clips and get the same error message. I've tried making the movie into a quicktime movie first, so that the video is all one continuous track and the audio is one continuous stereo track. but that makes no difference.
    I emailed flip4mac but haven't had a responce from them yet.
    Anyone know what the problem is?!?!?!?
    Mac Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   whatever

    It's a problem with the QuickTime 7.2 update. Flip4Mac is aware of the issue and is working on a fix.
    http://forum.flip4mac.com/forum/messageview.aspx?catid=10&threadid=263&enterthre ad=y
    The only workarounds at this time are to change the audio sample rate of what you're exporting to 44.1KHz, or revert back to QuickTime 7.1.6. The latter generally requires an archive and install of OS X.
