Windows 7 / IE8 Converts AIR file to ZIP

The AIR install badge works perfectly OK for most of my customers but occasionally ther are problems. To overcome this I have created a support page with a direct link to the .air file (and also a .air.zip for Mac OS X as this unzips the file in the download process). When I click the Save Target As... option in IE 8 it changes the filetype from .air to .zip and then saves it as a .zip file extension. If I manually change the file extension back to .air then it works just fine however having to talk customers through the process of showing file extensions and then making the change is not exactly professional.
Any ideas how I can overcome this?
TIA
David Anson

Not quite sure I understand where I need to apply your suggestion.
My HTML for the link to download is quite simple:
<a href="http://www.adv.co.uk/reader3/AirReader/uat/AirReader1.29.air">Windows and Linux</a>
Is it here that I need to make the change - and how - or somewhere else in the page? The site is on a Linux server.
TIA
David

Converting AIR file to APK file

Hi to all...
I am new to adobe air ..I am developing a desktop application using adobe flex builder 3....I exoprt my project as .air file and execute it in adobe air 2.7 and its work fine in my system ....
Now my questions are..
1. whether may i convert that desktop application into .apk file to run in android phone?
if the answer is yes how can we do that...
2. what are the changes i have to made in code for doing so?
3 .In some forums i read that we can do it by using ADT..what are the steps we have to follow for doing that..
Help me out in this issue...thanks in advance...

You can create an APK package directly from an existing AIR or AIRI file:
adt -target apk -storetype pkcs12 -keystore ../codesign.p12 myApp.apk myApp.air
(PS:-The AIR file must use the AIR 2.5 (or later) namespace in the application descriptor file.)
You seem to using the wrong the keystore argument.

#2032 Stream Error when downloading .air file for update

Hi guys,
I have made a very simple self update air application. When
the .air file to download for updating is on a localhost server
everything works fine, however when the .air file is on a remote
server I got a #2032 stream error when trying to download the .air
file. (I tried to download the file using IE or Firefox and I get a
404 error ; btw I am absolutely sure of the .air file URL )
Does this happen because the .air file has been generated
with my trial version of Adobe Air ?
Thanks for your help.
Olivier

Thank you for your answer Oliver.
I'm absolutely sure of the URL. I set the permissions on the
remote web server to browse the directory with my explorer, I can
see the .air file but when I click on that file I get that 404
error. (I hit the refresh button of my browser to be sure to have
the correct files list). Btw something interesting to notice is
that when I rename the .air file to .zip I can download the file.
I have tried with another remote server and it works. There
may be some misconfiguration somewhere with the first server I
tried.

Converting MOV files to AVI

I bought Quicktime pro 7 for windows to convert mov files to avi files so I can import them into Sony Vegas. But after converting the mov files...vegas still won't recognize the AVI file that was converted by Quicktime Pro. So after doing research on other forums it seems that there are 2 types of AVI files (divx and xvid). My question is does QT pro only convert the MOV files to one type of AVI and if so...then how do I go about getting a refund.
Thanks

I bought Quicktime pro 7 for windows to convert mov files to avi files so I can import them into Sony Vegas. But after converting the mov files...vegas still won't recognize the AVI file that was converted by Quicktime Pro.
You seem to misunderstand what MOV and AVI files are. Basically, both are just generic file containers. They may contain amy combination of audio and video compressed data that is compatible with the codec configuration of the system on which the file is created. What you should be asking yourself here is what compression formats (what data within the file container) can be edited by the Sony Vegas software. According to to Sony,
"Vegas Pro takes a no transcode, no rewrap approach with Panasonic P2 AVC-Intra and DVCPRO source material. Vegas Pro eliminates the transcode and rewrap process that other applications require, so editors can save valuable production time, minimize storage requirements, and preserve the pristine quality of the original source material. Other natively supported codecs and formats include XAVC, XAVC S, XDCAM™, XDCAM EX, NXCAM, HDCAM-SR™, AVCCAM, RED® R3D, AVCHD, and AVC-based MOV files from popular DSLR cameras. For 3D content creation, Vegas Pro also supports stereoscopic 3D MVC and MPO files from Sony camcorders."
This, of course, brings up the question of what kind of compressed data is contained in your original MOV file since your problem is most likely not the MOV file type but rather the data you have stored in the file based on the fact that, according to Sony, this editor is supposed to be compatible with "AVC-based MOV" files and MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) and MPEG-4 audio (AAC) are virtually a default QT AV compression format whether in MOV, MP4, or M4V file containers. Therefore, when asking questions regarding MOV file content, your should normally include the compression formats of the data contained in the file to better ***** various issues and workflows or provide a sample file for examination by others.
So after doing research on other forums it seems that there are 2 types of AVI files (divx and xvid).
QT can only access the DivX and XviD codecs if they are available to the QT 7 Pro app. I.e., these are proprietary codecs not included in the QT installation package. A better question here might be whether or not the Sony Vegas software can edit these compression formats since they are not listed as being supported natively by Sony. That is, you need to be importing file container/compression format combinations that are listed as being edit compatible with the software you are trying to use for your edits.
My question is does QT pro only convert the MOV files to one type of AVI and if so...then how do I go about getting a refund.
While QT 7 Pro remains compatible with the AVI file container, as varjak paw indicated, there are only a limited number of compression formats that are QT encode compatible and even fewer listed as Sony Vegas. I.e., why don't you try a DVCPRO AVI or an H.264/AAC MOV conversion as suggested above and see if it might be compatible with your editor. However, the best approach is not to transcode data if at all possible. That is why it would be important to know the workflow you are using to source your content. I.e., how is the data being placed in the MOV file container? Was it originally recorded to an MOV file container? Was it imported to a video editor on a Mac and then passed on to you? Was it copied from a different source file to the current MOV file container? Etc., etc., etc... I.e., at this point all we can do is make guesses as to things you can try because you have provided insufficient information regarding your files, workflows, and goals here.

Convert Windows media Player WAV file to QuickTime

I have been asked to e mail a windows media player WAV file in the Quick Time format. My PC has the free Quick Time 7.2 version. How can I convert these files from a WAV file to the Quick Time format? I see a Quick Time upgrade that appears to do the trick, just want to make sure. Thanks!!

Clears the air a bit. Your file is .wma (Windows Media Audio) format.
Mac users that have installed http://flip4mac.com will be able to hear the file. Older Mac users would use the Windows Media Player for Mac to listen to it.
No conversion is needed for most Mac users.
There are hundreds of third party apps that can convert audio and video formats. Some are free and others offer free trial conversions. A little Google searching should help you find what you need.

After I connected my hard disk to a friend's windows system all my files have been converted to .ink files and do not open....what do i do? They had important content

after connecting my hard disk to a windows laptop all my files have somehow converted to .ink files and are not accessible.....what do i do?

What do you mean by "all files", surely only one category of files got their default open program changed.
Choose the affected files, right click on an individual file, and "open with",...change to default program.
For a group, right click > show info > open with > change ALL
If more than one group of files has had its default opening program changed, a time machine roll-back would be the easy option. Do you have a TM backup?

Give it a try if you haven't done it prior.
Open that PDF>File>Save as Other>Reduced size PDF.

Installing .air file on Windows 7 64-bit

This batch command works in XP and in Windows 7 32-bit, but not in Windows 7 64-bit:
@echo off
REM
REM Set location to install to. (This dir must exist or install wont work!)
REM
set INSTLOC="c:\producthelp"
REM
REM Install help.
REM
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted -location %INSTLOC% "Product Help.air"
(product name replaced with Product.) We are using the latest (today's) AdobeAIRInstaller.exe. We have tried using identical syntax to install other .air files from the Adobe site; they did not install either. Is there something simple we're missing here? Is there a known issue with installing .air files on 64-bit Windows 7? I couldn't find one at this site.

I think the reason you have had no reply is that no one has an answer. The only thing I can think of is to ask if the AIR file installs if you run it normally rather than from a batch file. If it does, then you know where the problem is but I cannot help you with that.

How do i convert 3gp file to windows file?

how can i convert 3gp files from my iphone,to windows format with quicktime pro??? thanks.

If by "windows format" you mean Windows Media Audio, aka WMA, QuickTime Pro cannot convert to any Windows Media format, so you'll need to look for other conversion software.

How to convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to play in iTunes

How do I convert WMA files (from Windows Media Player) to now play in iTunes?

Use Edit > Preferences > General tab > Import Settings to set your desired import format and bitrate. Note there is no point converting 128k wma into 320k mp3, you'll just get bigger files with no improvement in quality. Once you have set your import settings just drag & drop the files you want converted into iTunes.
