Trouble with video playback on .mov files. Please help!

I have some .mov files that were transferred onto a USB and they're not working properly. The audio during playback works fine but the screen remains black for the entire video. There are 45 videos and all have the same issue. Already tried them on QuickTime (latest version), Windows Media Player, Divx, Movie Maker and Powerdirector. Nothing seems to be working. Tried downloading a couple of Codecs as well.
It's probably something really silly but I'm out of ideas. Anyone?

Hi Bazookajoe117,
As already suggested by Jacumba your symptoms point to a lack of required codec in your system.
Take a look at below post to find out the commonly used codecs in QT that would allow you to play the files without any issue.

Trouble with Videos on my iPod. Please Help?

Hello,
I am hoping someone out there can help me. I have what I thought was simply called an iPod Video, but I guess it now refereed to as a fifth generation iPod. When I first got it, I was excited to be able to watch videos on my iPod. When I tried to put videos on it, it told me my OS X was out of date. I had to buy OS X Tiger in order to put videos on it. That worked and I was happy. Now to advance my story to the present. I can no longer watch my videos on my iPod or even on my iTunes. When I try to sync the videos to the iPod, I get this message:
“Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video (Video Title) were not copied to the iPod (iPod Name) because they cannot be played on this iPod.”
That message makes no sense because it is an iPod video and I have watched those videos on it before. I only have five videos and all but one was downloaded from the iTunes Store. And like I said earlier, they will not even play in my iTunes window either anymore.
Can someone Please Help Me?
My Mac: PowerMac G4
OS X: 10.4.10
iTunes: 7.4.2 (4)
iPod: 60gb 1.2.1

Hello,
Thank you for the reply. I had QuickTime 7.0.4 on my Mac and I just upgraded it to 7.2.0. That did the trick for allowing me to watch my videos on my computer through iTunes, but I still get the same annoying error message that will not allow me to put them on my iPod. What is really annoying is all these movies were on my iPod and then one day when I put in my iPod to sync my music, it took off the videos and gave me the above message.

I am having trouble with the jQuery tabs browser. Please help!!!!!!!!

I inserted the jQuery tabs browser and it is not working properly. I was just testing it so I haven't changed some of the coding yet or the wording. The problem is that when I test it in live view it shows actual tabs but when I look it up on the remote server it shows the word tab and then has paragraphs under each word. I want the tabs. Not sure what to do. Anybody please help. I am getting very close to my launch date. Thank you ahead of time.

Having trouble with condenser microphone and Logic Pro. please help

I purchased a condenser microphone that runs only with phantom power. I have an XLR cable from the mic into the phantom power interface and have an XLR to USB plugged into my computer, when i go to logic audio preferences it doesnt show that the microphone is even connected (ive checked input and output). Ive even tried it on other programs and i still get nothing. Please Help.

I have an XLR cable from the mic into the phantom power interface
What phantom interface is this, make and model.
XLR to USB plugged into my computer
What is this? Just a cable?
What microphone is it?
Trying to get an idea of your signal chain as, in your original post, your signal chain makes little sense. Do you have an audio interface or is that the phantom power interface you are referring to? A microphone isn't an interface and a mic, in itself, won't show up in Logic prefs (unless it was a USB mic, which it is not).

Working with Video and Audio...Please help (i am not a coder!)

Hey all. I am currently working on a project in Flash (CS3
action 2.0)
It is an animation and it includes a layer mask of a TV
screen, which shows a precut quicktime movie on the screen.
I am working with multiple scenes (11 to be exact) they are
all my different cut points.
The animation consists of 1st scene- VO (voice over) and BG
SFX. When I hit Apple+Enter this part plays sync'd up correctly.
However as the scenes progress on the sound gets out of whack.
Scene 2 consists of the quicktime movie (Video and Audio)
mask playing on the screen. All sound heard is a part of the .mov.
For this one the timing is also good.
Here is where it gets fluky. The next scene consists of a VO
and BG SFX. (and only those things) However, at this point of the
movie i hear the sound of the next .mov i have embedded in the file
(from scene 3). This is all happening well before that scene even
shows up in the preview.
I hope i explained it as clearly as possible. Anyone have any
ideas?! I would greatly appreciate it!
btw- i have set the frame rate to 29fps to match that of the
quicktime movies that are embedded.

Hi Brian, I don't mean to nit-pick but this is an
actionscript 3 forum, so you'd probably have better luck with the
general forum for non-AS3 questions.
There could be a couple of things that are causing a problem,
its hard to say without actually having your project on hand.
It almost sounds like your movie is taking longer to load, if
thats the case you could simply start the audio a little later in
the time line to sync it up.
I know you don't want coding solutions but you can probably
have flash "wait" for the movie to begin playing, and have that act
as the starting point for the audio.

Re.problems with translator after converting pdf file.please help:-)

Please can someone help me.
i've converted a pdf file to a word document but it was a scanned document so word had to translate it but its come out as a load of gibberish.
i have over a hundred pages of corrections to make because of it so i was wondering if any of you could either tell me what i could of done wrong r tell me how to do it right:-)
thanks a bunch!!!

You cannot use Reader to do what you want. Depending on the language of your original document, you might be able to convert the document from a scan to text with Acrobat Professional. You can also investigate programs that are dedicated to OCR.

Trouble with Adobe Digital Editions for Mac - please Help

I just got a Kobo Glo and am trying to download/install the Adobe Digital Editions software on my Mac but I am running into issues: (I not very versed in computers so I hope someone can walk me through my issues slowly)
I tried to download the Adobe Digital Editions software and got a screen saying installation was complete, I appear to have Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 and Adobe Digital Editions icons in my applications folder, when I go to open the Adobe Digital Editions 2.0 Icon I am taken to a "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it.
I do not know how to open the Adobe Digital Editions actual software so I can access the "set up assistant" to authorize my computer??????????????? It does not seem to want to open on it's own and I have no idea how to find it. I do have an Adobe ID.
I thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide. Once again I am not very computer literate so please be very specific.

When you have ADE (digital editions) open with "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

Having trouble with icloud on my Iphone 4, please help!

It keeps telling me to accept the new terms and conditions in order to use icloud, but whenever i hit "view terms" it takes me no where. I deleted and signed back into my icloud account twice and shut my phone off twice. I just deleted the account all together but the error STILL POPS UP! I can't get rid of it! Since have everything backed up on my computer so i don't really need it. Is there any way to get rid of icloud and this pop up?

So, after tinkering a bit bit with everything again I finally got it to work. For anyone having the same issue as me, here is what I did to fix my problem...
1) Power everything fully off (router, modem, iPhone, and unplug AE)
2) With everything fully powered down, wait about 15-30 seconds to make sure everything properly resets
3) Plug in your wireless router and wait for it to fully boot/cycle to normal operation
4) When your router is fully up, plug in your AE and wait for it to fully boot/cycle to normal operation (should see solid green light to confirm it has joined the wireless network)
5) When AE is fully up and operational, plug in your modem and again wait for it to fully boot/cycle to normal operation
6) Now that everything else has been reset and rebuilt from the ground up, power on you iPhone
7) When you go into your music player, you should see the airplay icon and can now stream media through your AE.
....hopefully this will work for you, though it is kind of a pain to power up one at a time and waiting in between. Please still post if you know of a more efficient way to accomplish this task!

Im having trouble with SDK Version 1.3 someone please help

I downloaded it and installed it, when I go to javac or compile the thing it says "Bad Command or filename" However it will Java it but there's no use in that if I can't javac it. Anyone have a solution to this?

Set your path by editing your autoexec.bat file (copy it b4 you change it for safety sake) on win98 or from control panel on NT.
Have a look at
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html
Its a step by step lesson on getting things like path and classpath (you prob dont have to set classpath ) set for windows or linux or macs so you dont have to do something like the following each time you want to compile something
or do this on windows 98
C:\jdk1.3.0_1\bin\javac YourProgramName.java
(you understand that C:\jdk1.3.0_1\bin\javac should be whatever the path is to javac on your machine)

I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually

How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files?

I am working on a PC. How do I get premiere elements 13 to read the video of my .mov files? I hear the audio but don't see any video.Thank you.

phyllism
Thanks for the reply. Glad that QuickTime install resolved the Premiere Elements 13/13.1 video playback problem.
When you double click any of the thumbnails for your .mov file in the Elements Organizer 13/13.1, does the Elements Organizer 13/13.1's player open to play back the .mov file contents for both video and audio?
You wrote
in the browser, the preview is an audio file, not a QT preview.
I was not sure if you were just going by what appears in the thumbnail, namely film strip with music note, or whether you had gone through the actual playback there. In the Apple Pro Res footage that I have, I get the same thumbnails that you are seeing for Windows Explorer. In Elements Organizer 13/13.1, the thumbnail for my Apple Pro Res file is just a film strip on gray.
I think what you are seeing is "normal" for the situation. But, please verify your observation with 13 updated to 13.1 if you have not done that already.
Thanks.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.

I'm having trouble with video imported from my camera memory card.The video breaks up and pixelizes when it's directly imported from the memory card. That makes the video useless. Why does this happen? It doesn't do that in any other video editing software. Thanks for the help.

More info please:
Type of camera?
Was the card formatted in the camera doing the shooting?
Type of files the camera is set to record?

Issues with video playback

Seem to be having quite a few difficulties with video playback in apps, it seems often once a video has played once it doesn't want to play again.
Can anybody explain why this is happening please?

I am having the same problem. I load a video on to my IPad. If I watch part of the video and then stop, it will not loud the video portion again. When I launch it, I hear the audio, but no picture. Just black screen. If I then unload the video file, reload it...it will work, but again only the first time. Just started happening. Not an issue with encoding as for the first 3 months I never had a single problem with any of these. Also, happens whether I load the video on my IPad or watch it streaming with AirVideo.
Any answers?

Satellite 5100/201: trouble with video card or overheat?

Hy,
I'm experiencing trouble with video on a Satellite 5100/201. It seems that when I press on the left side above the graphics card or press a key on the keyboard on that side, the screen starts to be scrambled and vertical lines appear. At the end windows XP resets giving a critical error on the device and the video passes to 640x480. Same thing occurs when running Linux Suse 9.0.
My doubt is what is the cause: the graphics card corrupted or overheating due to the fan not as efficient as originally (my laptop is almost two years old. Did someone succed in finding the cause and resolved the problem, also with the Toshiba assistance?
Any help welcome.

Hi,
I don't think so that Toshiba has problems with the design. You are talking about two different models with two different hardware and for different user profiles!
The 1900 is a Desktop replacement notebook with "desktop" components like processors and the Satellite 5000 is a Multimedia notebook!
Hint: If you had not done it yet, perhaps you could install the graphic card driver once again. If this don't helps, it is the best way to recover the notebook with the Toshiba CD. (this set the notebook to software default settings and the notebook should be work)
Bye Bob
