Video on TV has "play triangle" displayed

Is there a way to disbale the visual "play triangle" that is displayed on screen (on an external monitor / TV).

It should only show up for a couple of seconds - if it is staying on the screen then you have a problem.

Elements Organizer 8 - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide

Hello:
Elements Organizer - some WMV are not displayed properly in the Play Video but are in Play Vide on Full screen. What's the problem? Wrong codec?

Because WMV's can contain a lot of flags, like DRM, they can exhibit odd behavior, indeed.
Usually, AV files will display in their native resolution, i.e. in their set Frame Size/Aspect Ratio and with their set PAR (Pixel Aspect Ratio), but sometimes those flags are missed, or are altered by other programs.
Remember, WMV's are designed to be streaming delivery-only, and are not intended, or designed to be edited. Most NLE's (Non Linear Editors) will allow them to be edited, but will require extra processing to do so. As is mentioned, WMM is designed around editing that delivery-only format, but most others are not.
There are many other formats/CODEC's, that ARE designed to be edited by the vast majority of NLE's, such as DV-AVI Type II's.
The best workflow is to NOT bring WMV's into the mix, unless one is using WMM exclusively. Converting those to an easily editable format/CODEC will always be the best course of action.
Good luck,
Hunt

Monitor says VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED after changing display settings

HELP! I am about to have a nervous breakdown with my mac mini! I hooked up the mac to my Philips LCD via DVI. No problem at all. But because the screen is only 15" I wanted to play around with the display settings a bit. So I changed the resolution from it's original 1204x768 to the one higher (not sure of numbers) and to my HORROR, I now can't get any picture at all - it says "VIDEO MODE NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried everything I can think of. I have rest the P-RAM, I have unplugged all cables, plugged the back in again, I bought the mac into work and hooked it up to my monitor and changed the resolution back to 1024x768 which is what it was on originally and that STILL didn't work. I can see the Apple logo and then it goes black and comes up with the error message. HELP! What am I doing wrong - I can't believe one click of a mouse button has rendered my display useless!!!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Try booting the mini without the display connected, and then, once the system is running, connect the display. This will often force the system to default to a low resolution, and then correctly detect the display when it is connected.
If that doesn't help, with the display connected, boot into safe mode (hold the shift key down when starting up) and once the system is running, change the resolution to 1024x768, and ensure the correct refresh rate is selected. Rebooting normally ought then to give you a good display.
If all else fails, boot into safe mode with the display connected, and then in the Finder's file menu, use the 'find' option to search for 'windowserver' (no quotes). You should get 2 or 3 results, including one with a string of alphanumeric characters. Move all of them to the trash and restart normally.

Learn to Play - Resetting Display Preferences.

While I was exploring guitar 'Learn to Play', my little boy mashed the keyboard resulting in the lesson display preferences changing and now I can't figure out how to change them back.
Specifically, the guitar neck at the bottom of the display has disappeared and the instructional video has reduced in size by about half. As well, underneath the lesson timeline there is what appears to be a purple audio track that wasn't there when I started but now I can't get rid of. I have scoured these forums and the Internet in general and can't seem to find instructions on how to return to the default display preferences.
I've attempted to but can't located and trash the plist and cs files. I can't locate it by browsing the Library > Preferences or by Spotlighting it. I did find an ilife09.plist. Should I mess with that? I can't wrap my head around that one; they're not where they should be, it makes me wonder if Garageband 09 even maintains these types of preference files?
Because it's simple, I then attempted to trash the Garageband application file and reinstall from DVD. My efforts were fruitless. Upon opening the freshly reinstalled Garageband and loading lesson one guitar Learn to Play, the display preferences were as my boy left them.
Help please!

Apple tv error message "the selected video could not be played. the format was not recognized"

my apple tv has started displaying error message "the selected video could not be played. the format was not recognized" on all my movies. i have never had a problem with it before. please help.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It seems that your Apple TV may be unable to see your movies, where are your movies kept, have you recently moved them, have you done anything else that might be related.

Video's don't play in browser

When I try to play certain types of videos, I get a picture of the QuickTime logo with an arrow under it and a message that says, "An error occurred inside a plugin contained on this page." Then, when I press OK, it says, "The plugin did not initialize properly." Then if I click that logo, it says, "The plugin was found, but an error in the plugin has occurred."
Edit: Okay, now these videos don't have the plugin messages, but they just show up with the Quicktime logo with a question mark (?) above it.
Also, videos on YouTube.com play fine, but videos embedded into another site just show up as what looks like a text box (like the one I'm typing into write this question), but don't scroll or anything... Is this related?
It also might be helpful that the "Flash media" box is NOT checked in the Control Panel, and I've tried unchecking the "Play videos automatically."

Check this thread:

Same problem, trying to cut down the double post with more details as to what the exact problem and what the work-arounds are.

Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?
iTunes 10.4.1
OS 10.6.3

There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!
Before updating to 1.2, ask yourself... how bad do you you really want Tetris????

Video Podcasts Won't Play under 7.3.2.6

Just installed new itunes and quick time and numerous previously downloaded and newly downloaded video podcasts won't play. You can see the opening frame on the small screen at bottom left if you click but when you try to play, the screen goes green, purple or other color and starts to vertically roll (like old tvs used to do) with foggy images. Strangely other video podcasts (old and new)do play. One example of podcast that does not play is Photoshop Killer Tips; one that does play is Adobe Photoshop Quick Tips.
Computer has plenty of space and has been cleaned of temporary files, defragged, etc.

And this is when going to videos-->video podcasts, right? Do they even show up there at all?

Video clips won't play back after capture

I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

Help!! video clips won't play in slide show

I have a 40 minute Aperture slide show presentation that contains a few video clips (time-lapse videos, etc). It played well last summer. However, now that I am about to present the show tomorrow I can't get the video clips in the show to play. They have all been located and connected to the original files. If I double click on individual video clips they will play in the browser window but they won't play in my slide show. Any ideas? I'm in panic mode!
Aperture 3.4.5.

What happened since last yoear? Have you reinstalled the system at some point? Maybe you had last year additional video codecs installed? Flip4Mac, Perian?
Do your videos play in QuickTime Player, when your export them to the DeskTop?
Are your videos iPhone videos? In that case you may have a problem with
Also, if you recently run a cleaner utility that cleared the caches, you now may have a missing com.apple.xpchelper.cache in /System/Library/Caches .
This has been known to cause videos from stopping to play. This file will only be recreated by reinstalling MacOS X, but you can force its recreation by a Terminal command. See:

Videos from iTunes not playing after reboot

I had to reboot my computer after something went wrong with it (and all i was getting was a blank blue screen). after it was fixed, everything is back to normal, with the exception of the videos I bought on iTunes. They don't play at all. When I click on the videos nothing happens. The top of iTunes, where it normalyl shows the title of the video or song playing and the song/videos progression, just has the apple logo. And in the bottom left corner, under the "now playing" bar - insted of the video playing all it says is "nothing playing".... though when i change that bar to "selected song" it does show the artwork.
I thought maybe the video files which i had purchased had been corrupetd or something, but i cannot even play videos off of iTunes when i want to preview something.

also, when i go to preferences and view my ipod settings, i can't click on anything in the video section (automatically update these playlists, etc.)
what is going on?

Added photos to the video timeline but they don't display.

I have added some photos to the video timeline but they don't display. The end of the last clip is frozen and then the next clip starts once the time for the photo display has elapsed.
A previous photo that I'd inserted in the project previously DOES run correctly. I suspect it may be to do with the fact that I've used cutaways in part of the video. However, where I'm inserting the photos is not in a section where there is an existing cutaway.

It would appear that it's a bug with iMovie. It won't let me add new photos to the duplicated project, but it WILL let me add them to the original project.
After searching the Discussion forums, it would appear that it has affected other users; some have used 'workarounds', but the solution doesn't always work for all. Hope Apple can address it.

Embedded videos in Interactive PDF play sluggish

I have created an Interactive PDF using Indesign CS6. It is a 43 page pdf with a video embedded on 5 of those pages. When the final PDF is played on a PC, the videos seems to play sluggishly after watching a previous video. It seems there is some sort of background process going on once the videos play that hampers the playback of the next video. Has anyone else had this issue?
Thanks,
MD

Thanks for your reply Dave.
The .mp4 videos are imported into InDesign and are controlled using one of the Skin options from the Media tab which allow the user to Play/Stop/Seek/Mute/Vol.
The video sizes are 677k, 2.7mb, 3.9mb, 13.2mb, and 13.4mb.
Also, when I'm playing a video with audio, if I decide to go to the next page before stopping the video, the audio still plays in the background even though I'm on a different page. It doesn't look like there are too many options to choose from on the Media tab in InDesign so I'm wondering if there is something I'm missing to have more control over the video.
Thanks,
Michael

The icons for the Personas Plus and Video Download Helper extensions are not displaying on a fresh install of Firefox 3.6.12

I had to do a complete uninstall and reinstall of my up-t0-date Firefox due to another problem (it would only open one window), but after reinstalling my extensions, their icons were not displaying.
I uninstalled and reinstalled again, but the Personas Plus fox will not display in the status bar, and the Video Download Helper icon will not display in the Navigation toolbar, and is not available in the Customize Toolbars menu.
These extensions worked fine before. What's wrong now?

You need to set options in those add-ons and/or use Customize Toolbars. Always look at instructions on each add-on's page at https://addons.mozilla.org/ ,
-search for and locate the add-on,
-open the page for that add-on,
-review the information there,
-then visit and bookmark the developer's home page shown on the add-on page; many add-on developers also have a forum for questions, so look for a link on the developer's home page.
Most questions can be answered in one of those places.
'''ABP''': Tools > Add-ons > Extensions, locate and click on ABP, click Options, in ABP interface, click on Options tab, if no check mark at "Show in toolbar" or "Show in status bar", you can click on each of those items to place a check mark and they will show in one or both places. On the add-ons page https://addons.mozilla.org/ visit and bookmark the developer's home page and forum.

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software?

My quicktime is very jerky with 1080p video but when I play the video file in FCPX its smooth. I recently upgraded to OS mavericks on 2011 iMac with 16gb of ram and should not be having this problem. Is it possible to reinstall older software? I cant figure whats causing the jerky video so I'm assuming its the new OS. Any one have any suggestions?
