Encore wont play video files

I recently upgraded encore from ver.2 to cs3 and find that ver.cs3 wont play video files.
It wont play the file in the project window, it just stops at the first frame. If I move the slider below the viewer the video material is updated but it wont play.
In the monitor view it wont play either, I can view the material by manually moving the cursor.
It wont play a preview either, it just stops.
It builds a DVD without problems and the dvd plays fine without errors but the program wont play any video files.
Ver.2 plays all the same video files without problems.
Please help!

Whew!
Glad that you got it fixed, and thanks for posting what worked for you.
Good luck with the interview,

How are you trying to play them, in the iTunes store or the Music and Videos apps ? Downloaded and synced music and videos should be in the Music and Videos apps, and you can stop content that is only in the cloud from showing in them via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music and Videos 'off' (under the 'show all' heading).
If you don't have your music and films/TV shows in those two apps then you should be able to download them into those apps via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

What do I need to have set up to play videos on You Tube, these stopped playing when I updated to the latest Firefox

Ever since I updated I cannot play videos on You Tube, I have checked that my plugins & add ons are up to date

Hi Jacquimorticha,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fixing-facebook-or-youtube-problems YouTube problems help section]? We've compiled a lot of information that should help you!

There are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline and wont play video in the program monitor.

After reconnecting some origianl files after a hard drive crashed, there are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline that wont play video in the program monitor. They do however play in the source monitor.

Those stripes are most likely the missing media indicators, which means you've relinked to the wrong clips.

Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:
http://www.chartoonz.com/index.html
I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

YouTube wont play videos

Just within the last few days Youtube wont play videos. Any ideas why this might be they work in IE.

Please give more details. Is this with just YouTube, or are there any
problems on other sites? What does / does not happen? Does the
web page load? Are there any error or other messages?

Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

'''If you are running Adblock Plus...'''
While on a YouTube page, right click the ABP icon and "open blockable items".
When the window opens at the bottom of the page, right click this line: http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vfl9DouAr.swf (or some variation) , then "Disable Filter".

My macbook air will not play videos online, like product demo videos, etc.

My macbook air is running on OS X 10.9.5, with i5 processor, and for some unknown reason will not play videos, like short tutorial videos or demo videos for online shopping site. The enable plug-ins is on and I don't know what else to try. Never had this happen before.

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
For a "blocked plug-in" error, see Step 4.
For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

Why does Macbook Pro have gray "curtain"and msg to shut down when playing video online?

Hi,
I have a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard v 10.6.8 and have put on all the security updates.
I bought this machine just days after the newest MBP's were released with Lion because I wanted to stay with Snow Leopard
From the very beginning I would have occasional "gray screens" with a message that I'd encounterd a problem and needed to shut down. It always occured while I was watching a streaming video online (Flash?) but it didn't always happen. I updated my Flash plugin and that seemed to help. I use both Safari and FireFox and both are now updated to the latest versions.
I had also noticed via iCleanMemory that my memory availability was very low .....I always have many tabs open in my browsers and have backup software that backs up to online storage running and when I watched a video, it dropped to almost 0 and everything ran slow. I had 4 GB Ram.
So, I ordered new ram and put that in and now have 8 GB. Machine runs fast. Love it....except it keeps giving me that veil of gray and the message to shut down. It happens several times a day now and while usually in conjunction with watching a video clip, it's not always the case. But I have lots of available memory. That wasn't the issue.
I found an Apple Support paper relative to needing a video update on some mid 2010 MBP's and downloaded it. It won't install and says it won't run on my system so that didn't help.
I'm at my wits' end trying to keep this thing running. Everytime I have to shut it down it means a minimum of 8 min...sometimes more.....before it will restart. If I try to restart sooner than that, it begins to boot and then just has lines and lines of numbers and code running across it....and often continuous beeping sounds and I have to hold the button down to shut it off again. If I wait long enough, it does boot back up and sometimes runs fine as long as I'm not watching video clips, a streaming tv show or clicking on a lot of links in web pages.
I don't believe it has shut down when I was doing anything that wasn't web related....i.e. on a browser. And, when I was running with only 4 gb ram, it rarely shut down, just ran very, very slowly. Now with 8 gb ram it is speedy but doesn't seem to want to keep working!
Anyone have any ideas what I should try next?
Thanks
Paula

Hi Allan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have been closing iCleanMemory but the shut down (kernel panic) was still happening. Not sure how to go about uninstalling it as it's one that runs at start-up and dragging it to the trash might not get rid of it completely. I"ll find it's web site and see if they have any info.
Haven't checked your web link yet (it's late and gotta get to bed) but will do so tomorrow.
I also run Backblaze and DropBox that begin at startup and are constantly updating in the background, iStatMenus and Sharpshooter.
The kernel panics were happening....tho much less frequently.....before i put iClean Memory on. If I remember right, I installed it just because I had those periodic shut downs and wondered if it was a lack of memory. Because I then saw that memory was very low all the time, I decided I must need to put more memory in. And that seems to have made the issue worse while also making the machine work faster for the time it is running.
Now, I've been working on here for a couple of hours and had no problem at all......but I haven't asked it to play any kind of video. Before I quit for the night, I'll try to watch the last one I tried that caused it to shut down and see if it does it again.
I do appreciate your help as I have just enough knowledge about these things to be dangerous.

My ipod 5th gen. 30 gig wont play video on to tv!! need help, please!

Hi, I have searched and have found no answer. My ipod wont play on the tv. I don't have a offical Apple cable that plugs into the headphone jack to the tv. But I have a cable that I have found laying around my house that is exactly the same. It has a headphone connecter on one saide, and three other plugs on the other (yellow, white, red).
I know if I'm not using a Apple cable that I have to rerange the cables, red to yellow, white to red, yellow to white. I've tried other combinations with NO success.
I have the ipod set to TV on..
And the only thing that happens is that white and grey lines start dancing around on the tv..
and SOMETHIMES theres is some auido, but with only one speaker..
I have tired two tv's. A hdtv and a flat screen tv.

Stephanie,
The reason a standard A/V cable won't work with the iPod if you match the colors is because the A/V cable standard was developed by Video Camera manufactures and they arbitrarily picked the connections on the 3-contact 1/8" plug to go to their colors.
When Apple decided to put a three contact 1/8" jack on the iPod and use one contact for Video output, they couldn't match the same colors because the configuration picked by the video folks didn't match the two audio channels to the same ones used by standard headphones. So Apple had to make their own A/V cables to get the colors to match up correctly.
If they hadn't made their own A/V cables (or made you use a standard cable with the colors mixed up) and made the iPod match the A/V standard then it would have required custom wired headphones for the iPod. Clearly you can see where the outrage would be if Apple seemingly MADE people buy their custom headphones and didn't let you use any headphones you wanted, right?

Quicktime wont play video content from youtube

hi there i recently purchased an imac i have been sent a link to a video on the youtube web site when i try to view the video all i get is the quicktime symbol with a question mark in it.
could anyone please tell me how to view the video i have already downloaded the flipformac to view media player content
i just dont understand why quicktime wont play the video
thanks in advance

Go to Adobe.com........
If you can see their site...it about 99.9%, you have the flash plug-in...But, for lack of doing anything else... re-install the flash plug-in...At one point in installing the plug-in, make sure you close out all bowsers.....

Playing video online

I have just checked that my broadband speed: connection speed is 17 mb, download speed is 14.8 and upload 0.76 mb
Yet if I play a video online, it takes ages to load, plays a few seconds, stops. Then loads again taking minutes, starts again for a few seconds, stops and so on.
I am on an Unlimited broadband option (but not fibre). I use Windows 7.
So my question: why is the video playing so absurdly slow? Where does the fault lie?
Answers will be gratefully received.

As for 'disgnostic' test, I ran the Health check and the System, Security are OK. The IE needed attention - the cache was reset and now it's all Ok.
I ran the BB speed test again just now and the results are as yesterday: 17 mb (connection), 14.8 (download)
It says "10 songs can be downloaded in 1 minute and one film in 19 min"
But that's nowhere the reality. When I tried to download a video (about 150 mg in medium quality), it said it would need about SIX hours - which is ridiculous.
All seems strange to me. I have switched to Unlimited BB just 3 weeks ago and things were OK in the first 10 days or so.

Quicktime wont play video ANY VIDEO and I cant fix it

I have downloaded all of the software on the quicktime website and it still wont play any of my videos. all of my stuff has different extensions and i have tried a ton of varieties of them but still nothing.
Does anyone know what i could use to fix this.
I have been looking in the forms all day but i cant find any suggested software at all.
Please Email me at [email protected]
This is not what i expected from apple or any of its products.

What is the format or file extension you're trying to open via QuickTime Player?
QT can open dozens of file formats and sometimes you need third party components or codecs to view non supported formats.
