Cannot play the videos imported from Samsung Digimax U - CA 5 longer.

Photos and videos will import on Vista, but I can't play them in Windows Live Photo Gallery, or Windows Media Player.  I've never had any problem before 2010 Windows Vista updates.  Please break down response and less Geek speak, I'm such a techno-dinosaure.  Laughing out loud

Hello Mamazon,

·         What is the error you get when you try to read the imported videos?

·         What is the program you are using to import the videos from the camera?

You may experience this problem if you have the missing codecs to read video files.

To resolve this problem, install the codec required to play the digital media file. After you install the required codec, try to read the files.

Note You can import digital media files encoded by a third-party codec, if the third-party codec is installed on the computer.

MORE INFORMATION

For more information about codecs in Windows Vista, see the "Codecs FAQ" topic in the Microsoft Web site at the following address:

  • Windows Media Player cannot play the videos

    Since the last 2 months I find that my Windows Media Player cannot play the videos. After having tried many, I installed the third-party Codec such as GOM Player, GOM DECODER and GOM converter on an experimental basis. For all its operation I installed that for the second time (test period = 1 month). Now, I found some unusual - the entire screen with prop-up Windows began to appear "foggy, unusually large screen, Visuality fuzzy." So GOM was 'uninstalled' in the menu 'program & feature. When he learned from the Microsoft Forum I installed k - lite Codec system. Now, some of my videos recorded under 'Image' menu works fine. But the videos stored in the "library" of WMP is not reacting. I need your advice. Again, in a prop-up window of K-Lite has asked to opt feither for: (i) (ii) repairs, (Iii) remove or change. I opted for changing file Windows Vista Codec - was the selection was appropriate? Should I opt for Vista Codec file repair?

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Windows Media Player cannot play the videos recorded on Storm 9530

    I have a Windows Vista laptop. My Storm 9530 OS is v5.0.0.419, when I try to watch videos recorded on my Storm 9530, on my Vista computer, I get a message Windows Media cannot play this video (3GP). Is there a way to see these videos on Windows Media Player?

    Hello!

    You need the codec appropriate to do so. I think that QuickTime can be read natively. Or you can search free converters to translate them into a format that WMP will play.

    Good luck!

  • Cannot find the video imported to download from a Web site

    I'm new to OSX and cannot find a way to make something simple...

    I have a long 5 minute video that I recorded on my iPhone, I want to send to a friend. Dropbox and iCloud are not options because I maxed out my space in both. So I tried to use one of these free Web sites (such as WeTransfer.com) to download the file and send a link. I have

    But when I click on the ' Browse... '. "to find the video, I can't find in the file system. I know it's in the "library" and I can't find that, but it won't actually let me go no matter what. When I double click Photo library, things seem to be suspended.

    How should I proceed?

    I do not use Photos, but I guess you have to export the video to Photos to a location of your choice, and then load it. I don't think that you can download directly from Photos.

  • After the update for tvOS 9.1, it cannot play Live Video Streams from the start, Breaking NHL Gamecenter Live

    Since tvOS 9.1, update when I try to play an ongoing game from the beginning, using the NHL Gamecenter Live application, it will start playing for a second and then jump to live.  Basically, it breaks the app for the way I use it.  You can save 10 seconds each time, and he will play where leave you, but if interrupt you or try to fast forward / rewind it leap backward to live again.

    Jumping to living like that can easily spoil a game showing you the advance score.  In addition, it allows me to watch a game that has already started overnight since I don't want to miss the beginning of the game and can not start from the beginning to the end of the stream.

    I contacted NHL Gamecenter Live about this and they made it the Apple TV update:

    "At this time, the new Apple TV update does not support advance fast/quick return characteristic of live broadcasts."

    Does anyone know of a way around this, or if this is a bug or design?  If it's normal then Apple has actually ruined my Apple TV after only a few weeks of use.  I really hope that's not the case.

    Has anyone else noticed this problem?  I can't find any discussion about this but it seems like a pretty major flaw for me.

    Thank you!

    Scott

    I accidentally tag this message with iOS 9.1, it had to be tvOS 9.1.  Sorry about that!

    Hi, try the following steps.

    Download and install SuperAntiSpyware (free version) from superantispyware.com and run a system full scan and remove all infections and restarted when prompted to.

    Then, open your browser and go to adobe.com and download the latest Adobe Flash Player and Shockwave Player.

    Then try to see if that fixed it.

    Also try changing your browser. Instead of Internet Explorer, try Mozilla Firefox.

    Most likely related to spyware or virus that you had or still have left of which is the origin of the problem.

    It is likely that the various files contain the CODEC, that are either not installed on your computer, or PrE is not able to use them.

    You list several types of files, and I urge you to first see this FAQ entry, then get one of the utilities file info, related to it, G-Spot, MediaInfo, or MediaInspector, then view the details on the different CODECS: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/440037?tstart=0

    In addition, WMP cannot play the video shows the probability of a CODEC problem.

    Or another of the great, try free media players, VLC Player, or MediaPlayer Classic HC. Both contain many useful CODECS, but they do NOT install them in the operating system.

    Good luck, and with the CODEC info, can anyone give your recommendations.
