How to open the tv DVD in Windows Explorer?

I recorded a TV show using my DVD recorder.  The show plays on my Windows 7 computer.  In my Vista Home Premium box Windows Explorer cannot open files and some program wants to burn or format sees it as a blank disc.  How can I make the Vista box open the files on the DVD disc?

Look here for information on the Microsoft Web site:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-problems-with-creating-a-DVD-video-using-Windows-DVD-Maker

You do not have the correct codecs installed on your Windows Vista-based computer.

To determine what codec was used with a specific file, play the file in the player, if possible. When the file is playing, right-click the file in the library, and then click Properties. On the file tab, look at the sections of video codec and Audio codec.

Or you can use a non-Microsoft codec identification tool. Many are available on the Internet.

I hope this helps.

  • Several unsuccessful attempts to open the PDF file in Windows Explorer by double-clicking

    Hello

    My system configuration: Windows 7 SP1 x 64 Adobe Reader 11.0.10.32.

    By double clicking on the PDF file or try to open with Adobe Reader IX in the menu shortcut in Windows Explorer or any other file manager, the software Adobe Reader opens only after a few attempts. At each attempt the AcroRd32.exe process arises. And after a few attempts, the file opens. As a result, I see several empty AcroRd32.exe process in the Task Manager, each have about 4000 KB of RAM and the only open file. I have to kill these empty process manually, because they are not dead before closing the window of Adobe Reader.

    I found the same problem on another PC with the same configuration.

    Best,

    Hi Alexis,.

    Could you please let me know for how long did you face this problem.

    Open the TEMP folder (press Windows + R and type %temp%) and delete all the files inside.

    This happens with any specific PDF or all PDFs?

    You can try to disable the Safe_mode opening drive then go to ' Edit > Preferences > (protection)»

    Let me know how it goes.

    Kind regards

  • How to disable the "Fonts" folder in Windows Explorer?

    Hi all

    I have a problem to deactivate the fonts folder in Windows Explorer.
    My question:
    How to turn off or do not display "Fonts" in Windows Explorer my computer tab?

    I think it is unnecessary because it already exists in the Control Panel folder.

    If anyone can solve this, thanks in advance.

    Windows customizes the Fonts folder and offers a special folder view that allows you to hide variations, such as bold and italics. It also allows you to change the display settings of the file in a way that is specific to fonts. If you remove the read-only attributes and the Fonts folder system, these custom display settings not available. For folders that you have customized by using the tab, Customize dialog box Properties of the folder, the folder icon and other other customizations may be missing when you remove the read-only attribute.

  • How to open the Win7 search results window?

    Win7 start > search works well.

    But - the list of search results immediately closes when you click on any found object.

    Is it possible to keep this first results list open while different elements are extracted?

    Often the first choice turns out not to be the one who really wanted to, so it takes some trial and error.

    It is a drag to have to keep re-entering the same search term.

    Thank you.

    Click the 'Other results' link and it will open in a window of Windows Explorer.

  • How to see the volume mounted in Windows Explorer?

    Hi all

    I am new bie to the VDDK stuff, you might find my pretty obvious question.

    I use the VXMnt API to mount the drive but I don't see that he set up in Windows Explorer.

    I am able to see the \\.\vstor2-mntapi10-shared-2CB22CB2007E00000000001000000\. In my opinion, this device comes only after successful mounting of the volume.

    I also called DoDOSDevice (...) to map this unit as a player.
    DoDOSDevice (...) returns successfully and creates drive, but I am not able to browse it from Windows Explorer.

    Here are the calls that I do:

    VixMntApi_Init (1, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL)
    VixMntApi_OpenDisks (connection, DiskNames, numberOfDisks, VIXDISKLIB_FLAG_OPEN_READ_ONLY, & disksetHandle)

    VixMntApi_GetVolumeHandles (...)
    VixMntApi_MountVolume (...)
    VixMntApi_GetVolumeInfo (...)  -> Symboliclink used to DefineDOSDevice
    DoDeviceName (.)

    I changed \\.\vstor2-mntapi10-shared-2CB22CB2007E00000000001000000\
    TO
    "\DEVICE\vstor2-mntapi10-shared-2CB22CB2007E00000000001000000" - but without success
    "\\?\GLOBALROOT\\DEVICE\vstor2-mntapi10-shared-2CB22CB2007E00000000001000000" - without success.

    Please correct me where I'm wrong. If possible, share the sample code.

    Thank you

    A breakpoint will affect not to work. The program must be running to be able to serve Windows i/o requests. I have not seen the attached code, but you might need to restructure your program to continue to run as long as there are any mounted volumes.

    Thank you

  • How to open the old emails in Windows 8

    How can I open old emails in Windows 8?

    Default e-mail program included retains the last 14 days of mail.  However, you can change it through the settings of the application.  With the app open, pull the charm bar and click settings.  Choose "Accounts" and select the account in question (if you have several).  There is a menu drop down marked "download mail of" choice "in the last 3 days", "last 7 days", "2 weeks", "Last month" and "Any Time".  The choice of the latter will download all the mail on your server and keep a local cache of it.  I use this choice, but it depends on how large your message store is and how much space you have on your machine.

    Note also that if you use some providers of messaging services the search function in the mail app will search not only what is cached locally, but also the entire file on the server.  While if you keep just 2 weeks of worth of e-mail cached locally, you can always seek (and read) old messages.

  • How to open the files .fxm and .fxr with fax windows 7 & scan?

    How to open the files .fxm and .fxr with fax windows 7 & scan?  These faxes have been received when I had Windows XP.

    Hello

    A file with FXR and FXM file extensions is a Document received from WinFax.

    You can open the FXR and FXM file by double clicking on it and let your PC decide which default application should open the file.   If no program opens, the FXR and FXM file, then you have probably an installed application that can view and/or edit FXR and FXM files.

    You can use a Notepad or another text editor to open these files.  Number of files is files read-only, which means little matter file extension, a text editor may be able to view the contents of the file properly.  This may or may not be the case with FXR and FXM files, but it's worth a try.

    How a FXR and FXM files:
    There are two ways to try to convert a file to a different file type:

    a. open the FXR file in its default program and choose to save the file open in another file format.

    b. use a softwarefrom online file conversion to convert these files to another file format.

    Note:
    using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.
