Unable to play video transferred from Canon camera or burn it to a disk.

The video was transferred to my computer using Media Player and the Canon software. I can burn to a disc, but it does not play directly from the computer, or via the computer or reader DVD (disc error). Error message when you try to replay the video is the drive Windows Media can not read the file. The player might not support the file type or does not support the codec used to compress the file.

original title: Codec Media Player error message

OK... Thanks for the info.

Looks like you have created a data DVD and not a DVD-video...

I was wondering if you tried to import the video file in Windows DVD Maker?

  • Unable to capture video with the Canon Vixia HV40 HDV - why?

    I am unable to capture video HDV via Firewire to my Cannon Vixia HV40. I am running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on a computer HP DV6T Quad Edition laptop, using the native Firewire interface. I can capture DV standard definition without problem (when the unit is set to DV mode, Windows detects the device and the guests of action - if you select HDV mode, Windows does not, and the camera does not appear in Device Manager).

    So far, I tried to capture HDV in Sony Vegas, Windows Live Movie Maker, Cyberlink PowerDirector 7 and finally HDVSplit (considered as the common denominator of simpler, the lowest for the capture) without success. NOTE: the camera IS recognized in HDV mode. In all the above applications, I can go back, play and fast forward - there's a link that works at least at this level. When I try to capture HDV, I get different results - no success. HDVSplit starts playback on the camera and stops after 3-4 seconds, indicating that no data has been transferred from the camera. If I turn off scene detection, capture runs indefinitely, but the generated file is never more than 0KB. Director of Windows also appears to capture, but the file is still 70 KB and is not valid. Sony Vegas, same, begins the capture but never see any video. CyberLink Power Director, somehow, HDV recorded once a band - and can always record a live camera HD stream.

    I tried a lot of things:

    1 using the older driver 1394
    2 turn HD/HDV
    3 reinstall the capture software
    4 press the 'PLAY' button first, then enable "record", then the workflow is running.
    5. install the Canon software (despite the fact that it contains all drivers for camcorders) - in fact there is no driver for the Canon Vixia HV40. It is supposed to work with the Windows 7 driver. I tried both (W7 and legacy) with the same result.

    The Canon Vixia HV40 is documented as supported in Windows 7 by Microsoft and Canon - and yet there are many people on the Internet claiming to have this problem (although some people report no problems at all). I am sure that I do not see a 'Pink Elephant'. As this is a forum for Microsoft - I would be happy if I could capture in Windows Live Movie Maker - to keep the inconsistencies of the third part of the road. What should I try next? Is there a 1394 a generic driver that is certified to run on Windows 7?

    I went and hooked the camcorder new just to make sure that I can hardly believe it is now capture HDV. Perfect work. Believe me, I've tried evey solution I could find on the internet and it is the only one that worked for me. I found the solution on this forum and started to find only no sooner. I've only used it with Pinnacle Studio 12 so far... never mind, I just tried HDV Split and it works too. I had also planned to buy a SIIG NN-EC2812-S2 and if it had been less expensive, I did not hesitate. I tried from Best Buy's Dynex Express card, but he had the camera recognition problems and sent. I thought that you get what you pay and was actually looking for the best price on the SIIG when I came across the solution. I wish you good luck.

  • Toshiba 40SL733g - how do I play video files from USB flash memory

    When I plug my USB key into the USB port, menu Media Player comes with two options: Photos and settings.

    How can I make my TV recognize and play video files from USB flash memory?
    Flash is on FAT32.

    I tried to play avi, mp4 and mkv files, but nothing happens. It seems that flash is empty.

    Could you please help me solve this problem.
    Thank you!

    bzunic, have you updated the firmware your model?

    With my own game, (32RL900A), the notice said that some of the buttons of the remote control are "unused", however, after the first update of the firmware, the "unused" buttons have been used, (in our case, record, Time Shift and so on).

    Is the reason why I talk about this, these features became available after an update of the firmware and not included in the manual of the user, in our case, and a subsequent download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave instructions for the use of these features, which have been presented as 'not available '. in the manual original instructions supplied with the TV, but became available after the update of the firmware.

    Let us know how it works...

  • Moving video files from digital camera, date taken does not save

    On Win7 Pro I'm having a problem where when I move the files from my digital camera Canon or my Sony digital camcorder to HDD the date taken on the videos aren't save. It defines at the time I moved the hard disk instead. It comes to all the dates in the properties.

    It's only when I copy the video files keep everything file photo.

    This happens when I copy files directly from the camera or the SD card

    All the files on the camera are correct but none of those on the hard drive.

    Ok. I had trouble to transfer photos from my old computer to my new computer.  The dates and times on the pictures changed.

    I finally got the moved and kept the correct dates on each photo.

    That's what I did:

    1. I opened the 'Pictures' folder on the old computer and click on "Select all" under the tab 'Edit' at the top.

    2. then I went to the "Edit" tab and choose "move to folder".

    3. in the next window, called '' Elements to move, '' I found the file that I wanted to move the photos to and selected this folder and then clicked on "move".

    4. all photos have been transferred to the new computer with the date and time correct.

    5. However, this deletes all photos from the old computer.  But I do not really need them on the old computer since I will be recycling with Dell.

    We sincerely hope that this information helps someone else, since I had a hard time finding how to do this task.

    Good luck.

  • videos transferred from mobile phone to the computer, have video but no sound

    I transferred the videos on my mobile phone to my computer via my CD san, I have great videos but absolutely no noise... and yet I have all other sounds on my computer and videos work very well on my cell phone...

    Hello

    Welcome to the community forums of Microsoft and thanks for posting the question.

    1. What is the file format of the files that you transferred?

    2 have you ever try to play videos on a different drive?

    3 you meet problems during playback of video files in Windows Media Player?

    4. do you have the codecs installed on the computer?

    A codec is a software to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or a video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codecs to play and create digital media files.

    A codec can consist of two components: an encoder and a decoder. The encoder performs the compression function (coding) and the decoder performs the decompression function (decoding).

    Some codecs include both components and some codecs only one of them.

    For example, when you rip a song from an audio CD on your computer, the player uses the default Windows Media Audio codec to compress the song into a compact WMA file. When you play that WMA file (or any WMA file that may be broadcast from a Web site), the player uses the codec Windows Media Audio to decompress the file for music can be played through your speakers.

  • How can I play videos Google from an ipad on a TV?

    Wondering if anyone could tell me how I can play a movie I rented by Google play of a mini iPad on a Samsung TV? I use the official HDMI adapter from Apple, but I get an error message saying: it is not allowed to play videos's protégé. I guess it's the adapter, but appears to have only this problem with Google videos play. I have tested and can Netflix and Amazon Prime fine videos, and it plays movies iTunes without any problems. Don't know why Google Play is any different, unless Apple is not as her biggest rival used on THEIR products because they have cigarette butts. But it doesn't matter. XD

    Its like everything is not working properly for me. Maybe you should contact Google given that is where you acquired the content you want to listen to.

  • Cannot copy large video files from the camera

    Tried to copy a too large video from my camera.  Message says 'current picture cannot be copied' when I looked up the answers in 'help' it says connect the camera using the (MSC) usb mass storage class, and then use windows Explorer to copy the image to computer.  Please help me understand this.  I have to download or update a driver to do this?  Should I buy something?  Please don't laugh, but I'm lost.  All those who take the time to give me some step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

    Transfer of files from digital camera fails

    Symptom 3:

    When you try to transfer a single large file from a USB PTP camera to local hard disk drive (HDD) using the scanner and Camera Wizard, the file transfer does not immediately, and you receive the following error message:

    Scanner and camera Assistant the current image have not can be copied.
    To copy this image, click "Try Again." To no longer deal, click "Cancel".

    If you click Retry, returns the error message.

    Problem 3 occurs because an error occurs in the scanner and Camera Wizard

    Resolution:
    You can connect the camera using USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) instead of PTP. Then, transfer large files using Windows Explorer.

    When you connect your camera, it can map device memory as a player external and it give a letter under 'Computer' OR it can be configured to do this in the configuration menu of the camera.  Once you have a drive letter assigned under 'Computer' for the camera, locate the drive in question for the file you want and copy to your computer to office/etc in the same way you would any other file.

  • Unable to play video, lack the codec indeo 5

    Indeo 5 removed from XP/Windows.

    I'm trying to play videos of when my child was a baby. A few precious memories - although taken with a Webcam.

    I am running Windows XP SP 3. Research on the forum here, it seems that the codec has been removed from windows. And unless I pay a company in 20 US dollars more or less, I won't get to see these videos. Sounds like inmate hostage if you ask me!
    They do not seem to exist in a different media player - just what I'm looking for crashes at halfway through (DivX, Real, Nokia, Apple, Windows Media).
    The company who make the codec throw fault purely at the feet of microsoft. (If this is the case, why pay for the download for the older Indeo 5?).
    Any who Microsoft have access to this codec internally and brave enough to post it for download?
    If not - does anyone know a media player (or converter) that contains it and is honest enough to install?
