I'm fairly new to mac so your patience is appreciated.
When I transfer an avi movie onto a usb flash drive from my PC it works fine in my Divx player but I seem to have a problem when putting the same movie from my mac onto the usb key. The Divx player does not read the usb key?
Also, which "forat" should I use in the disk utility when erasing (formatting) the flash drive (i.e. MS DOS (FAT) ... MAC OS Extended ...) ?
Would it be possible to install Windows (7) for BootCamp from a USB Flash Drive instead of burning it to a DVDROM?Installing Windows (Vista) from a Flash Drive [URL]is possible and potentially faster than installing from DVD or ethernet. I'm assuming this should work for Windows 7 as well.So the question that remains is if BootCamp can boot? install from? USB. (I've never tried BootCamp, so I'm not familiar with the process of even starting an install.)

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do you get DivX web player off your Mac? I just installed the latest version for DivX Labs and I can't even find it in Applications, it doesn't show up at all and I want it gone!
I desperately need to go back to an earlier version so it will work with my favorite site, and I can't get at it at all, or get it off my Mac. Now I can't watch anything at all on my favorite site, it just flat does not work and I'm desperate!
I could watch videos on that site all day long until I upgraded, and now I'm so totally bummed out! I looked for three years to find that site, and I only found it three days ago!
This new version of DivX web player will not let you download or save anything at all, so I guess I know what their agenda was and who was funded by.
I've burnt a few .avi files onto a DVD and I'm having problems viewing them on my DVD/Divx player.
I can view the files on my computer, but not on my DVD/Divx player.
I've never had this problem before.
Installed Leopard and everything has been going great until I tried Divx player. So I deleted it and reinstalled a newer version and still does not work at all. However, I'm still able to use VLC. Anybody else having problems with Divx player and Leopard?
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to open several avi. movie files I have downloaded onto my Mac (version 10.5). First, I tried to open them just simply on QuickTime player, but a got a 'this is not a movie file' error message, so I Google'd and found advice telling me to download VLC in order to open avi files to QuickTime player. So, I downloaded VLC and tried to open one of the files with that - except when it opened on VLC there was no video and only the audio sped up really fast (you know, where they sound like chipmunks xD) and then it stopped. So, baffled, I then tried to open it again on QuickTime, but got that error message again *
So I Google'd a bit more, and found advice telling me to download DivX Player, which should open/play avi files - so, I d/w'd it.... but alas, the files wouldn't play audio or video, it didn't seem to show up.
I've looked on the info when it's opened on VLC, and it describes the streams (not sure what these are) as having both mpga and mpgv codecs.... so do I need to download a program that can open these files? Is there a codec program I need still?
* OR, am I not using VLC player correctly?
I was wondering if it is possible to use VLC media player or video LAN to stream divx videos off the internet. I like to watch divx videos on stagevu but i dont like to use divxs player because it seems buggy. I have downloaded VLC before I had the divx player and couldnt figure out how to get it to play streamed videos. Is VLC capable of this or is it just for media on the hard drive or a disc.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have noticed my imac 27" has started being choppy with playback of both divx and flash. I know there are other threads about this for flash but I haven't heard much about divx. I tried installing divx, vlc, and perian, but in all the playback is choppy.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am not sure if this is the correct forum to post this query - moderately new user - well had my imac for 2 years but havent spent a lot of time getting up to speed with it - needs basis only.
query - i have eyetv elgato about 2 years old running vers 2.5.3 of the related software - I have a hard disc full of recorded material and want to convert it to divx - bought Divx Pro - mind you only $30 Australian- in the understanding that it would easily and quickly!! (toast takes about 3 days!) convert .eyetv files to divx avi - that function is available on the pull down menu in eyetv and it did it once when i used a trial version of Divx Pro.
Now it refuses to do it saying that the version i have is not supported and to go back to divx - i have the latest version of divx though.
I do notice that eyetv are selling their own divx converter for $100 and suspect this may be the issue
Does anyone else have this problem or know a workaround to it - do i have to go back to older versions??
Divx have told me that they dont have any agreements with or information about eyetv and to go and ask eyetv. Eyetv have not so far responded to my requests for an answer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded from a OX 2.8 to 3.9. I now have to use two browsers to use the internet. Safari to have access to my yahoo mail account, and fire fox 2.020 to load information on my business website.
I have not been able to use shockwave flash or flash player on the up load. When I was using OSX 2.8 I could add pictures to my business website and etc., I had no problem viewing the slide show I had on my website, other than the system was a little slow. I have an ibook G3 128 +512 ram, total. 900 mhz, 12. inches and white case. The systems requirements indicate that I need to upgrade to tiger OSX 4.0
I know there are some issues using Fire Fox with OSX 3.9. When ever I tried to access my yahoo mail from Fire fox, the system would crash.
Other than getting a new laptop, any suggestions? I tried to down load Shock wave from the old apps web site called Camino. I get an error message that the plug in cannot be loaded sussfully I have tried load flash Player 7.09, but get a message that it can not load. Could this be because of not enough space on the drive. Maybe I am not loading it correctly. Shouldn't I be able to click it to install it in the right place without having to try the different files.
I am using Idvd to burn a DVD.
I take it i allow it to encode. Then hit the burn button, let it burn, eject, put in my DVD player, hit play, sit back and watch?
Does my standard Mac Mini (with Tiger + iLife, dvd-r burner) have all the s/w required to do this OR do I need to buy something extra?

As many know, burning a dvd on a mac and playing it back on a dvd player dosen't work. You have to convert it to a different codec. My question is, what methods and apps do others here use to do so. I have several conversion tools and a Phillips dvd player.

I have a playlist that I burned to cd. Worked in my car but not on my friend's cd player. All of the files burned as mpeg. I guess that is what my import settings are set to. I know how to change this in preferences. I don't know which file is best to choose that would play in about any cd player. My choices are mp3 encoder, wav encoder, apple lossless encoder, aiff encoder, aac encoder. I am burning it to a memorex cd-R, 52 X 700 mb. iTunes 11.1.5.

I cannot utilize my Flash Player anymore - you all know what a pain that is. I now keep getting notices that I have an "unsupported operating system." I have a Mac OS X 10.4.11 Power PC G5. Adobe, as you all know, no longer supports the system. I have tried everything to get my Flash Player back-up and running, with no progress. Including this and it didn't work for me: url....Once downloaded if it doesn't unzip automatically the double click on that file.Look for the fp10.1.102.64_and_9.0.289.0archive folder, open it, look for the Flash Player 10.1.102.64 folder & open and look for 101r10264 folder & open it, double click on the flash player 101r102_64_ubmac.dmg file, choose the Install Adobe Flash Player file to install.

After weeks of trying to download Flash player to Safari, I removed the program using AppZapper and downloaded a new Safari which behaved beautifully. What puzzles me is that when I opened this new Safari, it contained all my favorites and Bookmark bar bookmarks. Is there a ghost in the system or did AppZapper miss something?

When I went to watch a video online, it said that FlashPlayer wasn't installed, so I installed the latest version on the adobe website, but it still says that there's a missing plug-in. Flash player was working fine on my air, and all my software is up to date.
