Uploading a video in Windows Media Player format HELP

I just used the Insert:Media:Plugin to upload a video in .wav format and when I look at it on the web, it just says "ng PL" and nowhere does it play. What am I doing wrong? I did 'put' it onto the server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

First, the wav format is an audio format not a Windows media format. Thus the computer can decide what to do with it. Either iTunes or WMP or any other media player could pick up the file.
Second, wav files are typically uncompressed. Thus you are making your users download a file that is larger than they need to be download if it were to be encoded as MP3 or AAC, both of which are more optimized for web streaming and/or distribution.
Then what you need to look at is a Flash player or if HTML5 is an option, the audio tag, to embed the audio file onto your website.

Opening a video in Windows Media Player

How do you open a video in Windows Media Player?
The video I'm trying to open in Windows Media Player is an
avi file.
I noticed that in the Authorware 7 book, it says to simply
add a
wmp after "avi". For ex: myvideo.avi.wmp
It then says to place or import that file onto Authorware
(the flowline).
However when I play it to view, it does not open in Windows
Media
Player. Can someone help me with this problem?
Thank you.

Yes it did. Thanx Erik. Appreciate it.

Do NOT use the video icon. As has been stated here a few
times, that is
ONLY for playing the movie INside Authorware.
If you want to play a movie OUTside Authorware, you use the
JumpOUTReturn function, NOT the JumpFILEReturn function.
Your folder setup is good.
So with that folder setup, assuming 'myvideo.avi' is in the
same folder
as your Authorware file, just do:
JumpOutReturn("", FileLocation^"myvideo.avi")
That work for you?

How to play .wma and other Windows Media Player-format files/videos on Mac?

Hi again,
I will be asking stupid questions as I'm a newbie to Mac, so please bear with me. There are some video format that QuickTime player doesn't play e.g. .wma files. I tried a couple of times to download Windows Media Player for Mac but it doesn't install on my Mac! Do I require a software similar to Zipfile or does Mac has it all build in?
PS - What is the coequal of "delete" button here in Mac (keyboard)?

Download and install Flip4Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to play Windows Media files via Quicktime. Also get Perian to provide additional codecs for other video formats.
The Delete key is on the keyboard next to the "=" key.

Can't play videos on Windows Media Player from Xperia z3

I have recorded som videos and while trying to load them onto my computer via USB some show up and others just play the sound without the video?
Can anyone help with this problem?

Hi Gearld, welcome to the community!
I would advise transferring the files through PC Companion using the Media Go app like Phy has suggested & also playing the videos through VLC player rather than Windows Media Player as this VLC player can read a large number of formats and is most likely to play your videos smoothly.

CS4 using a Mac and want to play video using windows media player

Hi I am having issues with file types to play video back using Windows media player.
I am producing video using Premiere CS4 on a Mac and I need to know what format to use to have the files play in windows media player as .mp4 is not compatable with wm player.
Thanks

I have Windows Media Player installed on my PC workstation and I do remember installing a codec so that MP4 files could play in WMPlayer 11 on Windows Vista 64-bit (should work on 32-bit also)
look near the bottom section of this link for further information. The codec is called DirectShow
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992#34
Otherwise if you're posting videos on a webpage for example in the mp4 format use the Quicktime html wrapper so that people using Mac's can also view your videos that are encoded for PC's. If you encode in wmv format (Windows Media Video) then provide a link to the "Flip4Mac" application that can use Quicktime on the Mac to play Windows Media Files. I think you can find it on www.mactopia.com .

Webcast in Windows Media Player format - Can I save this to my iPod

There are news events that are webcast the next day using RealPlayer and Windows Media Player. They play as nice little videos in my web browser, complete with audio.
Is there a way that these things can be captured and converted to a correct format for the iPod. I tried control-clicking (on Mac, equivalent to right-clicking in Windows) and 'download source' only yielded a 24k html document. So, I guess the first goal would be how to download the video file itself.
Anyone have experience with how to do this? Please let me know how to go about it.
Thank You,
Ken

I guess I am finding out that they are streaming and can't be downloaded. When I try to download they just download the link to the video.
Maybe someone with experience in capturing online video can look at it for me and see if they know a way to capture it to my computer so I can convert it.
It's so I can get the state of the union address that I missed part of the other night / webcast right at the top:

Thank you so much for your help with this.

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

Bravo!
EDIT: I miread your post. I'll renanswer differently this time.

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.

Upload Itune music to Windows media player

How to upload I tune music to windows media player?

There is nothing to transfer, and you don't need a CD.
Just find the files on your hard drive and play them, the same way you would play any other files in Windows Media Player.
If you hit a format problem, please post back.

HT1849 how to import music and video from windows media player

I want to import my music and videos from the windows media player, and I want to import or put it all in my itunes library. How do I do that. I know there is a button.
Am I missing it? Can someone help me please. I am working off of a laptop. If that helps anything.

In Media Player music list, make sure the "Protected" column is displaying. Sort by that column. Any songs that are protected can not be converted to iTunes. You will have to re-rip the CD with the WMP setting to be to not protect the songs.
I had the same problem with album covers and could never fix it. I just gave up. I spoke with people at Apple stores and nothing they suggested worked.

Play Vodcast in Windows Media Player format on Apple TV

I would like to view a video podcast (can only play on RealPlayer or Windows Media Player) on my Apple TV and iMac. How can I make this work?
Michiel

Yeah, try Flip4Mac. If you want, post a link to the vodcast and we can see if it plays thru F4M, but it probably will. F4M is the way to view WMV content on a Mac now....WM Player is no longer supported by Microsoft for Mac's.

You are going to need to have two versions of the video file. One for Mac Quicktime users and one for WIndows Media Player users.
WMV Studio Pro looks like it could meet your needs.

However you will need a Windows Media Server to stream the WMV file otherwise it will act as a download only.

Problem in stretching video using windows media player control

Hello
I am using windows media player 9 and set the stretchtofit property to true.But when I play a video of size 256X192 on a window media control player whose width and height is set to 640 and 384 respectively I find black areas on left and right side of video.My system has windows 2000 and is set to 1280X720 resolution.I am using labview 7.0.
If anybody encountered the same problem or any suggestion please help to solve the problem.
Veena

Are you sure that this property means that the image is "stretched"? It might mean that if the video size is X and the control's size is 2X, the picture will be stretched to fit the control without losing the aspect ratio. I know that the regular WMP does not stretch images. You can easily test this by playing a file smaller than the control and setting the property to F. You can also search google\Microsoft for the WMP SDK.

Streaming video through Windows Media Player using USRP

Is there any document / guide or any example explaining how to do streaming through Windows Media Player using USRP.
Thanks
JK

Joseph,
I have been looking a bit more and have found a few examples that seem similar to what you are looking to do. Here is an example of video streaming using USRP RIO or FlexRIO https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-40747. I also found an example of doing wireless streaming of video https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-22728. Sorry I was unable to find these in my first post; I hope they help!

I cannot view video on Windows Media Player...Seems I need to install a "Codec".......which one?

I cannot view any video sent to me or by me on Windows Media Player. Seems that I need to install a "Codec"......but which one and where do I find this? In doing some reasearch, I noted that one must be careful to install the correct one. I am not happy that this was not included in my PC when I purchased it. I am using Windows 7 on HP Pavilion dv6-3133nr Entertainment Notebook, if that is of any help. Please....any info?

gramaof6,
I would be inclined to install VLC from Filehippo website, as I use VLC on all my PC clients for DVDs. Please find the link below for further information.
