Open Firefox Windows Media Player for video files
I need to make Firefox to open the actual Windows Media Player application (not a plugin, the window real app) when clicking on video links, for example, WMV. These file types are already associated in Windows Explorer with WMPlayer, but this has no effect on Firefox.
What happens now is that, after you have clicked on a video, I get a screen black with yellow icon of VLC Player (VideoLAN VLC installed on my PC) in the Center and no video. I don't want to launch VLC or internal plug-ins.
You can change the type of application opens for each kind of type in Firefox options.
> Options > Applications > (example) SWF file > select everything on the right side (e.g. use of ShockWave Flash for Firefox > Set another use, find Windows Media Player)

Windows Media Player 12 - Video DVD plays but the images are not displayed
I have a DVD that we created with Adobe Encore. It has a mixture of video and still images to a timeline. I play this back on a new computer Windows 7 with Windows Media Player 12. The DVD plays back fine until it reaches the fixed image on the timeline. At that time the reading shows just the last frame of the video to the video portion. The audio continues, but it does not show the image. We tried multiple image formats, and nothing seems to work (.jpg, .tiff, .psd). The video is very good reading but with CyberLink DVD player and on a standard TV/DVD player.
Any thoughts?
