When I try to view my downloaded video footage all my computer gives me is a jpeg image.

I just purchased a Canon Vixia HF R300 camcorder, downloaded the Pixela Transfer Version 2.5, and imported a sample video from my camera to my four-year-old Dell laptop that runs of Windows XP.  The Pixela program showed that the import was completed without a problem, but then when I tried to play the video all that my computer would give me is a single jpeg image from the video.  That' it.  Just one still of the opening shot.  What happened to the video? 
Thanks for you help.  It's enough that I have to purchase an external mic in order to escape the sound of the camera, now I can't even play my videos on my computer.  Dang.
Rachel

Hi Racheldawn,
The movies from your camcorder are stored in the MTS or MP4 format, depending on the settings.
When transferring movies, please ensure that your camera is in the movie playback mode.

  • When I try and view a downloaded clip in IE the screen opens but nothing happens

    When try and view a downloaded shckwave object in IE a blank screen appears
    and the little wheel goes round and round but the clip does not play

    Hi Andrew and Happy New Year to you too. Sometimes I get too busy:-)  Thanks for the information.
    Sometimes the Flash Player 10 ActiveX will install and be listed in the Add/Remove, but for some reason or the other,
    the Shockwave Flash Object, the ActiveX Control will not be installed in the browser add ons. In your case since you have version 9 installed, in addition to the above in the add ons there should be Flash9?.ocx as well. The ? mark will be a letter
    and most importantly be Enabled. This is a must for Flash Player to work.
    It is very easy to get Shockwave Flash Object confused with Shockwave ActiveX Control. The Shockwave Player that you have listed in Add/Remove also has in your add ons an ActiveX Control and they work together. The Flash Player works
    together with the Shockwave Flash Object, which is it's ActiveX Control.
    The reason I asked you about the DLM is because sometimes after in downloads it does not disconnect, so glad it's not there.
    In the Flash folder you should have listed Flash9?.ocx, FlashUtil9?.exe, install.log, Uninstall_ActiveX.exe.
    Recheck your add ons(the downloaded now and the have been used) the drop down arrow should show you both. You can tell if SFO is there as described above and if it's enabled.
    This link may be helpful to you to read over regarding Security Settings and ActiveX Controls. I wouldn't take any action at this time until we see if you need to.

  • Imovie crashes when i try to view the video full screen or export it. How do i fix this?

    iMovie crashes when i try to view the project full screen and export it. How do i fix this?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.

  • Why is my keynote crashing when i try to view in the light table?

    My Keynote presentation crashes when I try to view it in the light table view, and the whole system has to be restarted. The file is not huge, only 54 slides, mostly graphics and video plus a little bit of text. It is under 1GB in size, which I can usually manage without issue. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Does anyone know of a solution or a workaround? I'd be so grateful for any help. Thanks!

    Try this maintenance routine which has solved quite a few issues:
    1
    Close all applications
    2
    Uninstall Keynote; this must be done with an application remover tool to delete the installation properly. Appcleaner is known to work correctly for this purpose, it is free and can be downloaded from here: Appcleaner Download
    3
    empty the trash
    4
    shutdown the Mac and restart. After the start up chime, hold down the shift key until the apple logo appears
    let the Mac complete the start up procedure completely, it will take longer than usual as the hard drive is being repaired
    5
    go to;   Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility > First Aid > Repair Disc Permissions
    when this is completed restart the Mac normally
    6
    Reinstall Keynote using the original discs or logging into the Mac App Store and installing from there.
    Post back to let others know if this helped

  • Itunes stops working and I get an error message "APPCRASH" when I try to play a downloaded TV show. I have udated Itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    When I try to play a downloaded TV show, itunes stops working and I get a error message "APPCRASH". I have updated itunes and removed and reinstalled quicktime.

    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK.
    Quit the QuickTime Player if you have it open. Restart the PC and try watching the videos in iTunes again. Do they play now?

  • When I try to open a picture from email all I get is a yellow mozilla square in the middle of my screen and it won't go away unless I restart and I can't view the picture.

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.

  • Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.

    I cannot open a new window for FireFox.
    Invisible windows appears when trying to open a new window. These windows are listed in the Window list on the menu, but I cannot switch to them or close them. This also occurs when I try to "View Source". This was not a problem prior to my 6.0 upgrade.
    The Downloads Window cannot be accessed either.
    This is very annoying. Is this a bug? Or is there a fix.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

  • I moved all my Pages documents from my Macbook Pro to my present Macbook Air and then gave away my Pro.  Now, when I try to view my documents I get the message that the document is too old and I have to save it on Pages 09 first.  How do I do that? i

    I moved all my Pages docs from my Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Air.  Now, when I try to view my docs I am told that they are too old and I must save them in 09 first.  How do I do that?  The version of Pages I am using on the Air is 5.2.2

    No release of Pages v5 can open AppleWorks, Pages '05, Pages '06, Pages '08, or RTF documents. Sometimes, it cannot open its own documents.
    You will need to do one of the following:
    Borrow your MacBook Pro back until you can export all your incompatible documents to MS Word (Which Pages v5 can open)
    Install your iWork '08 DVD on your new Air, and then immediately apply the following Apple Updaters. Again Export to MS document formats.
    Pages v3.0.3
    Numbers v1.0.3
    Keynote v4.0.4
    Purchase iWork '09 DVD, and then immediately update with Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
    Open the document(s) that Pages v5 won't permit
    Save as Pages '09 v4.3 documents, or export as MS Word
    Upload to Zamzar, and convert to MS Word (free for limited volume)
    No sensitive documents
    Email notification within 3 - 4 minutes with MS Word document download link
    After you do either item 2 or 3, run Disk Utility and verify/repair application permissions on your boot drive. Open your converted documents in Pages v5.
