Video file not playing in Photos

Imported photos/videos from a SD card. Performed this task many times before. This time, some video files display as "AVI", as opposed to displaying the first frame. The video will not play. The file is skipped when I use sweeping motion to go to next/previous picture/video.
Also, I don't know how to delete the file, because I cannot select it.
Most video files from the SD card work as they should.

Any ideas? Is there a difference between the Quick Time 7 Pro encoding of an iPod/iPhone video file and the way a similar file is encoded through QUick Time X?
Unfortunately, the latest iTunes update 9.2.1 has not solved the problem. I cannot get to the bottom of this. Quite frustrating. Any suggestions?

Mpeg-2 Videos will not play in Photos but does in QT

I am trying to consolidate all of my pictures and videos into Photos and then ICloud. I imported all of my videos (.MOV, .MPG etc) and some of the videos do not play. I see the individual frames as I press the fast forward button but it does not play. Some of the videos that do not play are Mpeg-2, with AC3. When I play this in QT or Preview it plays fine...Just not in Photos. I do not want to lose these videos but just want to have them all in one place. Thanks guys!

I am having this problem too. What a bummer! Hope it's just a bug and they fix it soon. I posted another question about this.

Same problem & still getting both vlc & mplayer errors as above.
None of this was happening yesterday so I decided to pick through the upgrades & downgrade the ones affecting just vlc/video:

the only other thing I think might be causing this is the kernel upgrade but I don't really want to downgrade that because potentially that would mean doing it for all the upgrades!
can any of you archers see what might have caused this as the video file & others have been working fine & I can't see any other bugs or reports of this happening elsewhere.
thanks in advance for you help

at the time of my problems I was receiving the same errors other were so I am lost as to what has fixed it.

so ...odd stuff for sure but I wonder how long this works for & why the above is so blatantly intermittent
I wonder if I could write a script that would check dmesg or a log file for the presence of "*ERROR* Failed to initialize GPU, declaring it wedged" & if found to load a config to enable uxa lol

Video Files not Playing in MAIL

I can't view video files in MAIL after LION upgrade. Previous O/S worked great. Downloaded updated Flip for Mac, Flash, etc. When I receive a video file such as a WMF, I can see it down load and then the viewing screen goes completely black. If I save attachment and open with VLC player, it opens and plays. If opened in Quicktime, it plays audio only.
Ideas?
Thanks!

Two thoughts:
What if you view using QuickLook (using the space bar) ?
What happens if you switch graphic cards, any difference ?

Video files not playing in iTunes

In iTunes on OS Lion on an iMac, I started getting an error message that the "video needs QuickTIme and it is no longer supported by iTunes." What gives? The files are m4v and won't play even 5 minutes after I download them.
If I download them to my MacBook then access them through the shared media, they will play and become part of the library on the iMac. Seems like a lot of bother just to watch a video.
Anyone have a clue about what's going on?

Sorry about not being more precise; I usually grab an image to save, but didn't this time.....yes, that's it.
Checked the link. Did as I was instructed, and it seems to work ok now; HOWEVER, when I first got the iMac about four weeks ago, everything worked perfectly after ai set it up and migrated everything from my Mini. I had a system crash on 2 desktops, and had to restore both of them. The Mac mini is just as good as it was before, and the iMac is still a bit schizophrenic. The iTunes thing was one of the delusions.
I read about 32- and 64-bit, but still don't know about the resulting effect and whether it means under-utilizing the iMac.
Will keep searching. Thanks for the tip.

Video files not playing in Mail Account

Howdy
A couple of days ago, video attachements that have been sent to my email account will not open. When they arrive, they look like they always have, i.e., they have the bar at the bottom with the tracking arrow, speaker for volumn, ect.
Then all of that disappers, leaving a black screen. When I click on that, I get a message box with several options, one being Play Attachment.
When I click on that, get another video screen with all of the usual stuff. When I click on the Play arrow, I can get sound but no video.
Any thoughts will be appreciated.
It is the email account in my iMac. Just updated to Lion.
Thanks

(OSStatus error -50.) video files not playing please help

I own a Nikon D300s, I have been downloading video from it for quite a while without any issues, but today when I tried to open some of my video clips I received the error code below...
*The movie could not be opened*.
Operation could not be completed. (OSStatus error -50.)
I am curious if anybody else has had this problem and how can I solve it?
I posted it here because all my clips are Quicktime AVI logos. All the video that works show the start of the clip.
HELP!!
thanks

I just got a new MBP yesterday and have perian, but i cannot open an .mkv file that could on my old computer. I have the most recent version of perian, this should be working. If anyone has any idea what OSStaus Error -50 means, please tell me and help me fix it because a new computer is supposed to work BETTER than the one that was four years old and couldn't run iTunes at the same time as Pages.

HT4101 I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to down photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please.

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wavfile of other audio file. Any help would be appreciated.

I bought an iTunes Royalty free song to play behind a presentation. What I have seem to have is video file not an audio file. Am I missing a step?I want to download iTunes purchases as a .wav file or other audio file. Any help would be appreciated

I understand the confusion. Those tracks are royalty free to the owner of the tracks, yes. The terms of use of the iTunes Store still state, though, that all purchases are for your own personal use and cannot be used commercially:
USAGE RULES
1. You shall be authorized to use iTunes Products only for personal, noncommercial use.
They're probably fine for presentations in a class or to a group at your company, but you probably could not post the presentation or a video using these tracks on a public site. I'm no lawyer, though, to legally define what would and would not constitute "noncommercial". It's probably best to just buy your tracks directly from one of these sites of royalty-free music. Then the use license should be completely clear.
Regards.

Hi, I uploaded some flv videos to my blog and can see it fine on my G5, my the videos will not play in Safari on my iPhone iOS4. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, I uploaded some flv videos to my blog and can see it fine on my G5, my the videos will not play in Safari on my iPhone iOS4. Anyone know how to fix this?

I've also tried m4v and avi files. Is there another file format that will work?

Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

HELP....AVCHD / MPEG files not playing correctly!

I have been trying to download video that was shot with the new Sony FS100 camera that I'm told are AVCHD or MPEG files to my older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 timeline, but they are not playing correctly. When I reverse the field dominance, the image plays better but the sound is strange (I was able to speed the sound to 450% and it worked better, but then the balance of the sound from the clip is lost somewhere.).
Any suggestions to make these files play and work correctly? I tried converting them to AVI files but that showed up completely black on the timeline! Anything I've tried either affects the video or audio negatively! I try either makes the image play or stutterThis was shot in regular SD format, NOT HD, so they should be able to play on a standard timeline. Can anyone suggest anything to help please? Much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply, I ran it through Media Info. Here are the results:
Container & general information:
MPEG-PS: 290 Mib 4min22s
1 Video stream: MPEG video
1 Audio stream: AC-3
First Video Stream:
8833 Kbps, 720*480 (4:3), at 29.970 fps, MPEG video (NTSC) (version 2) (Main@main) (Custom Matrix BVOP)
First Audio Stream:
256 Kpbs, 48.0 Khz, 16 bits, 2 channels, AC-3 (DVD-Video)
Please let me know where to go from here. Thanks so much!

Yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problem

yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problems.

DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

NMH 410 "Remote Access" - Videos Do Not Play

When accessing my Media Hub from a "remote" location the videos do not play (I only have videos on my Media Hub).
Instead, I get the following error message:
Error: Could not play the selected title
Windows Media: this media player was detected but is not responding.
The version, plug-in, or codec may be incorrect.
These same videos play without any problem on my home network using the same PC(Windows Vista), IE browser (8), and Media Player (11.0.5x).
Does anyone have any keys to success that they can offer?
My Network:
DSL with "bridged" modem
E4200 Linksys router
Ports forwarded 80, 443, 9000
Media Hub 410
Windows XP desktop (wired)
Windows Vista laptop (wireless)
MAC 10 laptop (wireless)
IE 8
Windows Media Player 11.0.5x
Video Files (all) .wmv format
Files imported to Hub through Media Importer
Files manually moved from Import Folder to Video Folder on Hub File Browser
All Video Thumbnails shown on Hub Homepage
As mentioned there is no problem playing these video files at home, nor is there a problem accessing the Media Hub "remotely". I just cannot get the files to play from a remote location.
Any ideas or recommendations?

Hi Fhizoo8:
Thanks for that knowledge base listing. The items there only served to re-enforce those things that have already been attempted.
I have not tried your suggestion to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player. I'll do this on the laptop that I use while at remote locations, and on the desktop that I have wired to my home network. At this point I'll reach for any straw that might allow these videos to play (remotely).
To answer your question, yes I have all 3 ports forwarded on my router (80, 443, 9000) and married to the IP of the Media Hub. I also access the Media Hub through the HTTPS format, and through the DYNDNS format without any problem. I do not use the www.cicomediahub.com method of remote access. That route is never reliable, nor is it ever working and when it does work the videos are buffering every 3-5 seconds.
I will try the unistall and reinstall of the Windows Media Player. I will get back to let you know if it had any positive affect.
Thanks

Youtube videos do not play properly

I appreciate any suggestions with this problem. I have a Mac G4 laptop (PowerPC) running OS 10.4
Most web videos do not play properly on my computer, especially if they use Adobe Flash Player. (QuickTime videos play fine.)
I have had my internet connections checked by my provider, and the speed is very good, and the configuration is OK, so they do not understand why I am having trouble. When I try to play YouTube videos, I get a slideshow, with a new frame every 2 or 3 seconds. I have tried using my computer on my friend's internet connection, and it has the same problem. My friend can watch the same YouTube video perfectly well on his own computer, even though his download speed is much slower than mine.
I have already tried the following fixes several times:
complete uninstall of old versions of Flash Player
reinstall of the latest version of Flash Player. (My computer does recognize that the player is there, as I said, it just plays the video as a slideshow.)
Repairing permissions and restarting
resetting Safari, manually clearing cache, cookies, etc. (Although I also have the same problem in Firefox)
Downgrading to Flash Player 9
Trashing QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
Trying to trash all DivX files (I don't have any, it turns out)
making sure audio midi settings are for 44.1
trashing the Macromedia preferences folder
None of these things have helped me. Thank you in advance for any other ideas of things to try.

Rogerskth,
Sorry, I wasn't clear. My computer NEVER played flash videos properly, with any version of Flash. Considering that Flash is maxxing out my CPU power (as measured by the Activity Meter) I suppose that slow CPU speed really IS the cause of my problem. Since you have a faster computer, and your computer used to play the videos OK, it seems likely that your problem is SOME OTHER mysterious problem.
Bungee33,
You might be pleased to know that in English we have the same expression as the German which you quoted
"we in Germany say, that a horse given as a present must not be critizised by judging the teeth in the mouth of the animal"
In English, we say "don't look a gift horse in the mouth."
