Autoplaying video on iWeb using Windows Media Player

I'm using iWeb to design a website that needs to play video and audio files. These files have been created on a PC and saved in the Windows Media Player (wmv) format. Will I be able to autoplay them in a website designed with iWeb? How do I accomplish this?

You can do it, but you will have to convert the WMV files into straight QT files. To do this, try a little program called "iSquint". http://www.isquint.org
Just drag your WMV file into the iSquint window, adjust the quality slider to your liking and hit go. You can even batch convert your WMV this way.
Then all you have to do is to drag them into iWeb. To make them autoplay, you will have to do some manual editing of the page.js files after publishing with iWeb.

Exported Video is fine on Windows media player for test upload on Youtube now distorted and unfluent

I made a "slideshow" for a product video for work those are my sequence settings
I exported it at H264 and 1080p 29.97
When I played it in Windows media player it ran perfectly now all of a sudden when I uploaded it to Youtube it is completely distorted and unfluent (all the animations, face in and out) look horrible.
Does somebody know why this changes so drastically from media player to youtube or did I do the wrong settings when exporting it?
It would be life saving if someone could help me thanks! :-)

I tried that but that doesn't get rid of the problem.
You are right there are no video files...
Do you know which settings I have to chose in general if I want to have a video that can be exported onto youtube in HD?
Because I am out of options does it have to do with the fps maybe? Because it looks so chopped of as if the video is to slow to process it smoothly?
Thanks so much for your help btw :-)

Bloomberg Videos don't play (Windows Media Player for Mac installed)

Hi - I tried to watch a video from Bloomberg.com. It did not work even after i installed the Windows Media player. Has anyone resolved this issue, which many users must have given the popularity of the Bloomberg.com site? Thanks.

That program is out of date. Use Flip4Mac with QuickTime Player or your web browser instead.

Converting video ( quicktime) to a windows media player video

Does anyone know how I can convert a quicktime movie into a windows media player video?

AVi produced by PP media export won't play the video part on my Windows Media Player, Why?

It's basically it - So when I find my exported file in its folder and try to play it by double clicking on it, My default player (WMP) all I get is the sound, It take quite a while before loading and then I get the usual white music note symbol on a bluish background and as the file is executed I only get the sound. But if I import it on my PP cs4 time line it's ok.

Thanks here too Jim. Does this then mean I have to use UYVY because this is the only other choice on the Settings window? Anyway I'll give it a try, and report. MM
Wow! I edit this to come back and say a big Thank You. not only it plays correctly but it seems tons faster to encode! I had no idea and left it to what seemed to be the default. What can i say! I wonder if I can change the Settings default to UYVY?

Windows Media player - live stream

I have Mac 10.4.5 and am having trouble viewing live feed with Windows Media Player. WMP seems to work with saved video streams but not live. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm wondering if you received a reply. Neither the Windows Media Player in Internet Explorer nor Safari will give me a live feed for more than 30 seconds to 1 minute and will then freeze. "Refreshing" the page doesn't provide a "live" response.

Windows Media player for videos on Safari...

Hi-
I am brand new to a mac...I have been cruising the web and a lot of web sites I frequently visited on my PC laptop are now not working the same. Fifa.com for example. I go to look at soccer highlights, but the videos do not work.
When the video screen comes up it originally directed me to the microsoft page to download windows media player to be able to view the videos. I downloaded windows media player and the installer and installed it onto my mac. However, still when I go to the webpage it does not work... now when I go to the page it says "Some content on this page requires an Internet plug-in that Safari doesn’t support. The application “Windows Media Player” may be able to display this content. Would you like to try?" When I say OK the windows media player pops up and says "cannot open the file. Verify the path and filename are correct and try again." I am not sure what to do... I know it is not the websites problem as on my PC laptop the videos play fine. I just want to watch my soccer highlights on my new spiffy Mac, please help.
THANKS in advance.

Hi Anni,
Welcome to  discussions
Thanks for all the info but I have tried everything and still nothing. I just don't get it.
You're welcome If I may say, you have tried everything is too broad a statement when trying to get help we need to know what you have tried.
Have you tried a freshly created test account? See this doc, on how, if you haven't see this on 10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer, this helps to show if this is a problem isolated to your username account or system wide.
Do you have the plugin components mentioned?
Are you running 3rd party Safari extending applications?
Has Flip4mac ever worked for you?
Post a Url of the video you are trying to watch, or an example of similar would help, so we may try it.
Can you view Youtube & google vids?
• If those are your correct specs you show your os is extremely behind, missing all the fixes
the subsequent os updates & security updates offer. If they are incorrect please take a sec, to correct, adding the size of drive & ram would help as well
If you update make sure to back up your personal files & data see this document on,How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.3 & 10.4 files
Look at A. Brodys post on how to update properlya. Brody now that 10.4.6 is out lets review..albeit it os 10.4.6 it still applies up to 10.4.10, his is the first post, ( this was the start of the double boot after os update.)
Apologies if you already know all this I can't not know, prefer err on the side of caution.....
• Note that your problem sounds different then the original posters problem, he doesn't speak of freezing, you are running a ppc ibook he a Macbook on 10.4.10.
Please post your own topic & articulate what the "everything" you have tried happens to be, you are more likely to get the help you need, no doubt it must be most
annoying not to be able to view what you know you can.
Good luck,

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.

Open video in Windows media player

The county offers streaming video of meeting of the Board of Supervisors.
The video requires that it be playing in Windows media player for the Mac.
When I click on the video link on the County's web site the video opens in what I presume is a dedicated Safari player but the video does not run properly in that player. (The name of the Safari player isn't identified.)
Is there a way to get Safari to open video files in the Windows media player?
Thanks,
Jim

Hi iBob,
Yes, I do have Flip4Mac installed. I don't know that Safari (3.2.3) recognizes it. Safari used to display the plug-ins under the Help menu, but now it doesn't on my new Mac Mini.
Let me issue a challenge--if you are willing.
1) Go to url: (http://new.mynevadacounty.com/streaming/)
2) At the bottom of the page there are 3 video links labeled: "video" Click on any one of the three.
3) Assuming that it will begin to play (on my Mac it opens in an undefined player) you are supposed to be able to jump to any of the agenda items listed in the box in the lower left hand corner of the screen. (Otherwise you have to listen to the entire meeting (lasting over 7 hours) to get to the item.) This option (jumping to the selected agenda item) doesn't work on either of my Macs (Power Book and Mac Mini).
I would appreciate your feedback.
Jim
P.S. According to the County IT department you need:
1) A G3 or newer with Mac OS X installed.
2) You also must use Window Media player version 9 or higher or silverlight player.

Windows Media Player 11 - Zen Vision:M Not Recognized Anym

I've installed WMP, which is told to be especially very well with Vision:M, and nothing recognizes my Vision:M now.
It's shown up as a Portable Device (with a new icon), with it's Name "Creative Zen Vision:M", I connect, it asks me what to do. Windows Media Player, Vision:M Explorer or firmware updater I've just downloaded doesn't see the player connected. Each time I connect, it appears to be something different on My Computer. Sometimes the device's name with ZVM icon, sometimes Zen Vision:M with portable icon. And it even thought it's a camera or scanner and put it there!
What's going on?

Any chance of posting or PM'ing me your wmsetup.log file? So far I've seen one and that was a total install failure, so isn't the same problem you had.

Anyway, I solved the problem by uninstalling the USB ports from device manager.

Windows Media Player viewing

I have just bought the Treo 700wx. Great piece of equiptment. I have a problem with videos I play using Windows Media Player. The videos will start playing and then about 3 seconds later the video stops for a second and then continues. It keeps doing this. Anyone with an answer?
Post relates to: Treo 700wx (Verizon)

As I understand it, this information comes from a database to which Windows Media Player connects when the disc is opened in WMP, which is why you see it so often on commercial DVDs.
It is possible to add this info to your disc in WMP and then upload it, but I don't know if it would work with multiple burned copies of the disc. I'm guessing it possibly would work if you registered a
replicated (mastered to DLT, then replicated at a replication facility, not burned) version of the disc.
