    If you use a DVD - RW disk... you could try a DVD-R, but some DVD players
    will not play a home made DVD... not much you can do about it.

    As an experience... you could try the following freeware to burn a video DVD
    recorded with your file to .wmv Movie Maker.

  • Windows DVD Maker will not play on the TV DVD player

    I have Windows Vista, and Windows Movie Maker to make a movie. I've published using Windows DVD Maker. I've made several copies and sent to various members of my family. While I was able to watch them when I tested them on my TV dvd player, none of my family members are able to watch their copies on their dvd players. In addition, when I insert the dvd in my computer's dvd player, it won't play either. How can I fix?

    Thank you. What I did just check "ffdshow" configuration and found that the codec for mp2 was disabled, so I let him. Now when I load the dvd into my computer it starts automatically.

    Now, my question is that I have to burn the new dvd for my family, so they can watch on their dvd player TV? Are their other codecs apart from that I have activated that must be adjusted so that DVDs can be found on other dvd players?

    ======================================
    You didn't say if you have a folder VIDEO_TS on the DVD...

    OK... you say you can play DVDs on your freestanding
    DVD player and on your computer. Startups that appears
    DVDs are fine and the problems of members of your family
    need to be cleared up on their end.

    One thing I would try would be to publish the project as a
    .wmv movie file in a folder on my hard drive. Then I'd

  • Audio from Mail will not play on the lock since 9.2 screen!

    This is verified a discussion with an expert on the AppleCare, last night and it of a real disappointment for me and people like me who get a lot of attachments audio (mp3 etc) and should consult with them on the go. Used to be that if you open an audio file as an attachment to an email in Mail (up to iOS 9.1) and start playing, then lock your screen, the audio continues to play without interruption, and more you can use the commands to switch the lock on that screen the sound signal. Now, when you lock your screen in iOS 9.2, the sound just stops! Yay for promotion! In addition, when you switch from mail to say, Safari, the sound stops too. Apparently the iOS does not recognize Mail as a background audio source. It is a GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT and really needs to be fixed as soon as POSSIBLE.

    Anyway, just to say that if you rely on this feature, please do not update to 9.2. I really wish I didn't.

    Thank you for the HRT, thought it was just me. Even disbarred icloud drive because of this, but now I see that apple really messed that one up.

  • Software downloaded from EPRN will not turn on.

    I recently bought and downloaded some barcode labeling software EPRN using Avangate. The software downloaded, but it will not activate with the key they sent to my email address. I spoke several times to their support staff and they assure me that they have tested the link and activation key and both work very well. But not to activate my version here in Botswana. I tried many times and I do not simple entry errors. The activation key will not work. I paid for the software, but I can't use it. I don't know if the problem may have something to do with the allocation of regional licensing or something like that, since I live in Botswana. Any ideas or advice?

  • USB sync will not play on the sync in car package

    I have CDs that I ripped to my playlists and then synchronized on a usb key.  Will play on the computer, but not in the vehicle.  What I am doing wrong that the USB sync will not play in the vehicle?

    CIA

    Hello

    1. have you ripped music files and synchronize directly on USB?

    2. What is the file format of the files that you ripped?

    3. are you able to play the songs in a different computer?

    This problem normally occurs when the radio does not support a specific file format. If you are able to play the songs to another computer, I you suggest to use third party software to convert .mp3 files and then check with the question.

    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.

    Hope this information helps. Response with status so that we can help you.

  • SWF file will not play on the Internet

    I've been everywhere on the internet, find the answer to my problem. I have a site in which I have two Flash animations that I need to play. We're working very well. I bought a model flash, edited, published, no problem. The other, I have a photo gallery template I customized, but it will not play on the internet, not even with the generated html file. Just a big black square appears. Here is a url to the nonworking time:

    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/ScottHambergArt.html

    This is the HTML generated by Flash 8. I noted that the publication of Flash 8 settings are set to 'Default' and the other Flash file that works is set to "Flash CS4 Settings." When I add that as a profile with a photo gallery, I get the error messages. I have screenshots of all the parameters in Flash, work and not work below files:

    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/WorkingPublishSettings.jpg
    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/NotWorkingPublishSettings.jpg
    www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/images/NotWorkingPublishSettings1.jpg

    It's the working Flash file url: www.atlantiswebandgraphics.com/index2.html

    I could give much too much info, but I think better safe than sorry. And by the way, I'm really new to this (that's why I get models).

    Diane

    Thank you. I've decided to basically start from scratch on this model. It works now. As you say, must have been the unfinished function.

  • Why the clip will not play in the window of the observer?

    Hello world. It's me again. So, I just started working on a project, and the clip will not play in the window of the observer. In the timeline panel, I see that there are images to play, but the Viewer is black when I try to play. I have temporary can solve it by leaving FCPX and opening it again, but after a few minutes, the display window stops again, and it's a pain to have to do every time so I can watch a few minutes of film. Just so you guys know, do it mode multi-cam, incase that has an effect on it. Thank you very much!

    You have the options of display Angles show the value? You are in the editor of the Angle or the project timeline?

  • iTunes will not play

    I just upgraded to windows 10 and now, my iTunes will not work.

    Try to use Ctrl + B to activate so hidden menu bar, then use edit > Preferences > reading and look at the entry for play Audio using. This should normally be set to its live or Session Windows Audio. Change to the other setting can help.

    If not for general advice see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.
