MP4 video playback

I downloaded mp4 to YouTube videos using the youtube downloader. I use windows media player provided with my pc. I'm using vista Home premium. It is only 1.5 years. When I look at music videos, I downloaded they seem really well until I have switch to view full screen, then they look terrible. Is there a software setting, or any kind of settings that I can do to improve these look? My other videos seem to be good. I downloaded those YouTube because my bit torrent client have them and I don't know where else to go. Help, please.

Thanks anyway. I can only imagine.

  • Windows Experience Index problem: could not measure the performance of video playback

    My pc is not yet rated. When I click on rate appears on this computer, a msg error saying that Windows Experience Index for your system could not be calculated, could not measure the PERFORMANCE of VIDEO PLAYBACK. What should I do. Help, please

    Hello

    Here are a few things to check before launching performance index Windows (WEI).

    • Quit all running programs, and restart the computer before running the assessment (WEI).
    • Check with the manufacturer of the computer or the motherboard manufacturer for BIOS updates.
    • Make sure you have the latest Windows 7 compatible drivers for the graphics device installed (video card).
    • If you have any third-party media players installed, uninstall them until the end of the evaluation of the WEI.
    • If you have installed any third-party Media Codecs, try to uninstall them until the end of the evaluation of the WEI.

    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder C:\WINDOWS\Performance\WinSAT .

    You should see the following 8 videos.

    2 files with .mp4 extension.

    3 files with the .mpg file extension.

    3 files with .wmv file extension.

    Double-click each of these files. They should open and play in Windows Media Player. These are the files that WEI runs video performance.

    One thing to remember is that the WEI score is only an indicator of the ability of the main components of hardware on the computer. It has no effect on the performance of the system.

    Tell us what you find.

    Concerning

  • Video playback again

    People somehow samples that come with d, including the recent 6.0, contain no examples of video playback (?) Instead there are articles and even video how to implement it.

    But there are still a few unanswered questions.

    Here is the latest article on the implementation of video (and audio) playback:

    http://supportforums.BlackBerry.com/rim/attachments/rim/java_dev@tkb/15/1/Audio_And_Video_Playback.p...

    And here is the piece of code to it:

    Player player = Manager.createPlayer("file:///SDCard/vid.3gp");
    player.realize();
    vc = (VideoControl)player.getControl("VideoControl");
    vc.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_DIRECT_VIDEO, this);
    

    First question.

    According to the description of USE_DIRECT_VIDEO second parameter in this case "must be a javax.microedition.lcdui.Canvas or a subclass of it', but 'this' here (see article) is screen, not canvas.
    So, why work?

    Next piece:

    GUIControl gc;
    if ((gc = (GUIControl)player.getControl("GUIControl")) != null )
       add((Field)gc.initDisplayMode(GUIControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, null));
    

    If it works on JDE 6.0 for 9800 Simulator this second attempt to call initdisplayMode will be java.lang.IllegalStateException: initDisplayMode already (!) successfully called.

    RIM guys never try to code they publish? Just rhetoric

    And of course, there's third way that I used before 6.0:

    videoControl.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, "net.rim.device.api.ui.Field");
    

    But the problem with this line, it is that when I run the mp4 file I could only hear her and no image!

    On previous OS 4.6, 5.0 it works OK, but not on 6.0.

    I tried first approach and it works on 6.0.

    If the last question, why is the behavior of Media player so contradictory?

    LKO

    Looks like the "problem" is solved!

    To make it work in OS 6.0 , it is a must to have this in the code:

    Field fld = (Field)vc.initDisplayMode(VideoControl.USE_GUI_PRIMITIVE, "net.rim.device.api.ui.Field");
    ....
    add(fld);
    ...
    player.start();
    

    I mean, in previous versions, it was not necessary.

    It runs in full screen mode (vc.setDisplayFullScreen (true) ;) and 'field'

    (vc.setDisplayLocation (20, 20);  vc.setDisplaySize (200, 200); ) modes.

  • Pause Slide button do not break. MP4 video

    I have a button with a tip Action to Pause / playback of the slide.

    Question

    Is there a method to Pause / resume a slide which will include. Functionality of MP4 too?

    Question

    Video slide do not break by using the method of Action Advanced below:.

    -Slide the audio breaks

    -Slide break interactions

    -But NO video slide (.) MP4)


    Content of the tip Action :

    IF cpCmndPause = 1

    Assign cpCMndResume = 1

    Else cpCmndPause = 1

    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    Roughly translated, it says:

    If the movie is paused, resume.  Otherwise, take a break now... but it doesn't.

    Found the solution.

    MP4 Video is NOT suspended with the timeline because it has its OWN script.

    Recode video in F4V format and now it stops with the slide.

  • Captivate 7/8 demo video mp4 video file plays only not on WIndows Media Player

    I created a video demonstration using Captivate 7, then 8 Captivate. I have published on my computer as an mp4 file. When I play the MP4 file on WIndows Media Player audio plays but no video. My settings look good.

    I run when I have it loaded as content to Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro. Audio and video playback with no problems. This could be a problem in WIndows Media Player? This just started happening.

    I was able to contact Adobe Support. They had me try on the video release settings to change the preset custom YouTube Widescreen HD. This seems to fix the problem and the MP4 Player now plays in WIndows Media Player

  • How can I improve the quality of video playback in interactive PDF files?

    I make a PDF from InDesign CC iInteractive with a few videos included. Everything works well except the videos shakes a little compared to play in quick time. The videos are in HD_H264.mp4 format. They are very large files, playing on a new Mac Book Pro with 8gig of Ram. I tried different things to improve reading, including setting up the PDF file to read in a floating window (which slightly improve things), but I prefer their largest.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

    There's not much you can do. The Acrobat family is 32 bit and acceleration hardware 2D is no longer supported - HD video playback is a battle. With the help of a floating window, you can make sure the video is a true 1:1 scale, which helps as she stops to Flash Player having to re - sample, but that's all.

  • Windows XP, when the use of twitter can not play more error clips vid 'her browser doesn't support video playback', but if I take the Utube link can play w/browser

    Most imbended videos in Twitter doe not play, if I pop the link out and find on youtube, he plays very well. All in the same browser of Firefox on my old Win. XP machine. Seems to be worse, suspect it has something to do with HTML5 but don't know how to check or update to a good player. And maybe a few interactions w/twitter how to isolate. even before trying to start the video see 'this browser does not support video playback' through the image of the video in twitter mssg. THX

    See the new response below on the use of the plugin Adobe Primetime play video Twitter and respond with your experiences.

    Oh, Yes, still the headaches...

    On Windows XP, Firefox is unable to decode MP4 media. On newer versions of Windows, it can use Windows Media Foundation, but Microsoft has ever released for XP. Thus, sites that have begun to use HTML5 with MP4 media video player - and do not automatically switch to a plugin like Flash when necessary - do not work in Firefox on Windows XP.

    The last time I tried to find a workaround solution was in May and I gave up in frustration: video look a problems with Firefox.

    I hope someone else can take a new look.

  • iOS 10 video playback stops working until you restart

    I have an iPad Mini retina, and since the upgrade to iOS 10.0.01, a short period of use causes videos to stop working.

    Videos in Safari, Chrome, YouTube etc. appear in the cache (saturated with progress on the top bar), but no response to play. The first image of a video appears, but only in the form of static image. I am able to change the static image displayed by rubbing them at any point in the video, but playback will not occur.

    The only thing that allows video playback is again restart the device (apps force closing, locking and unlocking etc. doesn't help).

    Hello, Sunkai!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand from your post that you're having trouble playing videos on your iPad mini; the video will start but will be stuck as a single image, as if the buffering and never take back (at least until you restart). I mainly use my iPad for watching videos, so I know it's important that they play in fact; I'm happy to help you!

    I have some troubleshooting I can offer to you. Before you begin, create a backup of your iPad using iCloud or iTunes, following the instructions here: How to back up your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch

    Once you have your backup, try the following steps, in order. A video test after each step and will stop when the problem is resolved.

    1. Make sure your iOS software is up-to-date. In the last week, iOS 10.0.2 came out. Use the following article to get help update: update the iOS on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software
    2. If this happens on a Wi - Fi connection, try restarting the network you are using from the router or the modem (if possible). If it is a private (for example, your home network) WiFi network, try to remove all the devices on the network, then by simply adding your iPad in return.
    3. Try a different network.
    4. Reset the network settings on your iPad under settings > general > reset > reset network settings. This will affect all personal data (like your photos, contacts, calendar of events, etc.) but it will remove saved passwords, and Wi - Fi networks one previously used settings APN or VPN and all paired Bluetooth device.
    5. Restore your iPad settings, following the steps described here: use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings

      Once the restore is complete, configure the iPad as a new device (i.e. without using the backup that you created earlier, at least temporarily). You can sign in iCloud, iTunes and App Store, iMessage and FaceTime with your Apple ID test then a video.

      If the problem is resolved, you can restore your backup by the information here: restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch from a backup

  • Flash crashing and video playback/Streaming problems

    Recently did a reinstall of Windows 7 and have experienced problems with Flash and video playback in general. Questions may or may not be related. I have not detected problems with the opera and so I think that these are problems of Firefox. 3 major video sites that I use are (HTML 5 player) YouTube, twitch.tvand Crunchyroll.

    (1) flash very quickly and systematically accidents

       * Specifically noted when viewing streams on twitch.tv
       * Often crashes within a minute, almost certainly within a few minutes
       * Crash logs provided below
    

    (2) reading crashes

       * Occurs on all 3 sites
       * On twitch, stream freezes (but Flash does not crash). On YouTube, loading circle comes up and video freezes
       * If this occurs on twitch, Flash less likely to officially crash
    

    (3) volume cuts

       * Occurs on all 3 sites
       * If this occurs on twitch, Flash may still crash after
       * I've had volume issues with my system in general, with volume occasionally cutting in gaming programs, such as League of   Legends and Hearthstone. That being said, I do not experience this issue with Opera and this only occurs on video playback in Firefox.
    

    Flash Crash IDs:
    BP-8e2f650d-7fc2-4235-a864-ef4282151205

    BP-2cee7e29-008C-4e6f-9FAA-eea992151117

    Attempts at Solutions:

       * Disabled hardware acceleration in Flash
       * Reinstalled/Updated Flash and (I think) made sure there is only one version of Flash
       * Reinstalled/Updated Firefox
       * Cleared cookies/cache/other stored web data
       * Updated all drivers
    

    I wouldn't stop using Firefox as my preferred browser and works fine on all my other devices, but if the problem persists, I'll have to. Any help or insight is appreciated!

    Unfortunately, I have tried all fixes of cor - el without success.

    However, I started to use audio drivers Realtek instead of Microsoft and everything seems to work more smooth. Will update later when I did several tests.

  • Video playback stopped working in Firefox until I DISABLED the plugin of primetime content decryption module

    From one day to the next video (youtube, Vimeo, etc) stopped not working in Firefox. I checked my plugins/addons and discovered the plugin Adobe "primetime content decryption module" which I had not noticed previously had been installed. I've disabled the plugin and found that the video playback was still functional.

    I realize the Primetime plugin is intended to facilitate playback of certain content (DRM), which would not otherwise play with Silverlight/Flash plugins, but unless that I turn it off it's actually prevents me from normal video content playback.

    As this is a Firefox/Adobe plugin suggested I prefer it to work as expected rather than disable/remove it.

    Will report if the problem arises again
