Vidoes only play the first 10 seco

When I transfer my .avi videos to my Zen Vision:M it says transfer successful but when I go to play it on my Zen, only the first 6 to 0 seconds play. I don't know why this happens, but when I go to check out the videos first it says "Play time 22:08" or whatever, but after I play it and it stops at 8 or 0 the play time is reduced to "00:0" or 8.
It plays it so it's supported, but for some reason only the first few seconds of the video is transfered.

It may be the type of codec that is used to encode the video or audio part of the .avi file. Lots of my files that are .avi have the same problem. It will only play about the first 4 second of the video, and then stop and then after that it will only show that the video is 4 seconds or 8 seconds or whatever. It may be a glitch with the firmware or something. Or possibly because the way the file was encoded. The way I fix this is to REencode the file using Video cleaner. Make sure "Do not reencode if possible" is unchecked. Its really a hassle to reencode as it takes forever! But sitting around isn't going to help. I just hope creative fixes this.

  • TS1717 I just downloaded a song and it only plays the first 50 seconds and then moves to the next song in the list. How can I get it to play the rest of the song?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • My iPod classic only plays the first two minutes of some of the songs i have transferred. I cannot work out a theme here

    I recently bought an ipod classic - and loaded my full itunes library.
    Most of the songs loaded fine - but a significant minority (c 25%) only play the first 2 mins, after which are silent for the rest of the song. I have not managed to identify a common theme among these
    When i play the songs from itunes direct, it's fine - or from my ipod when plugged in. It only happens when i play my iPod offline
    I have itunes on an iMac

    I've been having this same problem since I installed version 8.1 of iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING to no avail, oh wait, things got worse. At first it was only songs I had downloaded since installing version 8 but now songs I rip from my CDs are skipping as well.
    The only songs I have on my iPod are from iTunes or my own CDs.
    I've tried the 5Rs more times than I can count now, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime multiple times, I've recreated my iTunes library multiple times, I've tried setting Gapless to yes for all songs, I've tried setting Gapless to no for all songs, nothing worked.
    I was beginning to think it was my iPod's hard drive but it's not. I have an older version of iTunes on my laptop (8.0.2.20) so I loaded the same songs that were skipping when sync'd from ver 8.1. They don't skip when sync'd from the older version of iTunes.
    Either something is wrong w/ 8.1.1.10 and my 5g iPod and 2g Nano or something happened during the install and I haven't been able to completely wipe iTunes and Quicktime before reinstalling them.
    ps: I forgot to add that the songs play fine in iTunes and when I play them from the iPod through iTunes.

  • ITunes 10 will only play the first track of a CD, including brand new CDs.

    I reinstalled my operating system and had to reinstall iTunes. Now I have version 10 and after I import a CD it will only play the first track then progressively go track by track skipping through the rest without playing. Does it even whether I try to play from the CD or from the music section I imported it to. Even have 3 brand new CDs that it is doign the same thing to, so I have a hard time believing it is a disc reading issue.

    Make sure all the tracks are check-marked.

  • Since syncing my Ipod classic three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it just stops. After a little while, it moves on to the next song.

    I have an old iPod Classic, 5th generation with video 30 GB. I sync via a pc. Since syncing it three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it moves on to the next song or if it's the last song, it goes back to the menu. I just synced again and it it still doing it.It also has a small group of dots near the middle of the screen that weren't there before.Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?  Thanks.

    Please disregard this question. I have a better worded version coming up.

  • Playcenter 3.02.70 is lately only playing the first 10 secs of music files ?!

    For some reason, and I am not able to figure out what it is, Playcenter 3.02.70 (windows xp) is only playing the first 0 seconds of every midi/mp3 file!
    This is so weird, I haven't experienced this ever in all the many years I have used my soundblaster soundcard and using (this or other versions of) Playcenter. There is nothing in the settings that relate to this option, nor do I know what may have caused this problem.
    I ran an online virusscanner (Kapersky) for the first time after I noticed this (no viruses, as expected).
    I haven't altered any files in the creative directory, or anywhere else as far as I know. I simply don't know what triggered this highly unusual behaviour.
    Any clues to this mystery?

  • A song I bought only plays the first few seconds....

    I bought an album & one of the songs only plays the first few seconds, backs up, & repeats that part over & over. I show no available downloads. This is very annoying when trying to enjoy an entire album that I love. Please help.

    Update your iTunes to the latest 10.6.3 and see if it rectifies the issue.

  • Apple TV will only play the first song on an album, why?

    When I press play on an album (music), Apple TV only play the first song, then it stops. Why?? I can understand it when I press play on a spesific song/track, but when I press play on an entire album, I want Apple TV to play the entire album.

    You need to put checkmarks in front of all your music.

  • I shot at a Live performance last weekend by using the 'capture now' button. Now, my FCP is only playing the first 6 frames - how can I access or recover the full hour I shot?

    I shot at a Live performance last weekend by using the 'capture now' button. Now, my FCP is only playing the first 6 frames - how can I access or recover the full hour I shot?

    FCP X?  Then you need to use a different forum...This is the FCP 7 and earlier forum:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/final_cut_pro_ x
    FCP 7?  Did it look like it captured normally? Everything go smoothly?  Stop normal?  Did an error occur at any point?  Can you open the file in QT?
    In the future...do not rely on ONLY FCP for this task. Get a reputable recorder that can record to ProRes. AJA KiPro, KiPro Mini, Atmos Ninja, Decklink Recorder...lots of options.

  • I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks

    I uploaded 3 audiobooks from iTunes to my iPhone 5 with the latest ios7 on it. Each of them only plays the first 15 mins of the playback and then silence, the bar shows the book is still playing but no sound, any ideas? Thanks

    What happens when playing the same books in iTunes. Is there sound after 15 min?
    If also silent in iTunes, check the info tab where you can see the item is an audiobook, etc. Check the volume bar, this normally is on the zero point.
    When an audio book is really low in audio, I tend to move this to the plus side (+1=max), but for some strange reason this bar was at -1 in some books I had and they also seemed to play in absolute silence.

    Your timer function is not using the array, it is just using the random number.  Adapt what you have in the fnClick function.

    I dont even need the click function .. another developer recommended it as a way to track the random action..
