Videos are not in the folder!

When I go to import a video that I see the folder where are my videos but when I go to open the folder for the video it says that the file is empty. I can see images of the videos on file so I know they are there. When I use windows live movie maker, they download fine. I try to use windows 2.6 mm. Help, please.

    This is not photo - it is a function of the viewing program (probably the finder) - once the photos are exprted form pictures you can see then in different ways which you control, Photos does not - by the finder you can view by name of son, byt several dates, by file size, etc.

    Usually, the best way to accomplish what you want is to export using the names of batch file numbeing and then sort by file name in the program viewing

  • Video error: the files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly. Please restart Windows Media Center...

    Please help - it's driving me crazy! I got this to work!

    I am using Vista Ultimate and a connection (cat-5) ethernet to an xbox 360 as a Media Extender (via a Linksys router). I get the error of the video:
    "The files needed to display video are not installed or not working not properly." Please restart Windows Media Center or restart the computer "."

    I have a Happauge PVR 150 TV capture card installed, and you want to watch TV and my video files Via the Xbox 360. I can see the guide for lists of TV programs, but not to look at them without getting the message above.  I can also put in place a program to record, display the video thumbnail, but not play. Video files only will play are videos very select few years recorded only where there is.

    My graphics card is an ATI 2900XT - 512 MB of ram, with the latest drivers.

    I've seen a number of discussions on the web that describes the same (or similar) problem, but none of them seem to have no solution.

    I had Norton Internet Security installed and it has since withdrawn because of the firewall. I had thought, it could be a firewall issue, but it is not. I'm now using the Windows Firewall for now.

    I deleted and reinstalled the Xbox as an Extender media several times... no help. I have re-installed the complete drivers for the video capture card, it has not helped either. I checked and double-checked the settings on my router as well.

    The xbox is set for the share on my multimedia computer. The correct files can also be programmed for sharing.

    On the PC in Windows Media Center, I can view the TV programs, record programs etc etc etc all work.

    Any help would be really appreciated!

    I assume you mean WTV and not the WMV files? Likely the reason is that the adapter
    questions of cable is not HDCP compatible. (Rules of DRM Media Center

    When I select a mp3 or wmv file and right-click with the open option with Windows Media Center - Windows Media Center opens with the message: "the files needed to display video are not installed or do not work properly.

    I had the same problem and then by chance, I tried a video on YouTube and it worked for me. Here's how I went on this issue and solved my problem:

    1. go to the computer, then OS (C).
    2. you will need to open Program Files (x 86) and Program Files.
    3. go to Windows Media Player in Program Files (x 86) and open the folder.  Then, remove the wmplayer file.  You may need to work around the error TrustedInstaller.  I'll tell you that, in a moment.
    4. in Program Files, go to the same folder for Windows Media Player and select the same file again. Wmplayer.  Copy the file in another window open.  Copy ensures that if the question comes up again you can at least try to fix it again.
    This should be the end of your problem.  If you need to circumvent the TrustedInstaller question is how:
    1. right click on wmplayer and select Properties > Security > advanced > owner > Edit > other users and groups.
    2. Enter your username and then click on check names.  Click OK.
    3. close the dialog boxes as he has requested.
    4. open again the properties and click Security.  Select your username from the list and click on edit.  From there, select full control.
    This should give you full control over the removal of the original file for WMP and easily allow you to copy the other files (x 86) programs.
    Please let me know how it goes for your problem.

    Any suggestions?

    Stopping the churn.  If they are unscrupulous - that simply confirms your e-mail address is * well * and it will be resold to new lists.

    Specifically, add them to your list of mail JUNK when you can, if you doubt, you will always receive an email, just to be sure, their entire domain.

    The only other suggestion is to get an other email address for your personal & business needs and start using it.  Make sure that you register for what whatever randomly with this specific e-mail address (control which give you out.)  A * lot * of junk mail occurs usually because someone came to something random at some point and then the address obtained on a 'list' that was happening around / sold.

  • photos went to the Gallery of photos, but not in the folder of photos, why?

    When I downloaded my photos from my camera SD card in my computer photos went just to the photo gallery, not to the folder of photos.  This is why when I try to send pictures via my gmail account I gives me only the choice of the photos in the pictures folder.  How can I get these photos in the photo gallery images folder?  I'm using vista Home premium and I've never had this problem before.

    Thank you, for some reason any, he went to my folder of Tasmania.  Now, I found the photos how to make them out of this file and in another file?

    =======================================================
    Select (highlight) all the photos you want to move.

    Right-click on the selected group and from the menu, choose copy.

    Navigate to the folder you want the files saved in and right click / Paste.

    Once you are "positive" that the files are copied safely in the new location
    You can delete them from the previous location.
