OS X :: Will A .wmv Movie To Play On A Standard DVD Player
Mar 4, 2010
I have a .wmv movie I would like to burn to a DVD to play on a standard DVD player connected to my TV (not just on my computer). I have several pieces of software that can convert the .wmv file to another format, but don't know which format I should convert it to.
I am using OSX 10.9.4 late 2013; 2.7GHZ; 8GB memory.
I download from my Sony Handycam HRD-XR150 movie clips and pictures to build DVD présentation. What do I need to make movies that can be played on any DVD or blue ray DVD players? What format have they have to be converted into?
can anyone tell me what i may be doing wrong? i am trying to create a movie using video clips from my camera. when i download my movies to iphoto, they work great. when i drag them to imovie, they play but i do not get any sound. the 3 little check marks are there but still no sound!
Since doing a clean install of Lion onto my system, I have not been able to play music cd's bought from the high street. My system keep ejecting them after about 20 seconds. Movie DVD's play straight away.
This may be...a bit odd...A friend and I like to watch movies together alot. Phone isn't available. Im getting tired of useing IM with a minimized moviescreen. Is there an app ( cross platform would be nice ) that has a built in movie player that also has a built in IM client? is there an add on to Adium for this?
I recorded a video using PhotoBooth which now will not open in any of my players, QuickTime, VLC, HandBrake.
Finder tells me that it's a QuickTime Movie file, but QuickTime Player says "QuickTime Player can't open "Movie on 4-12-12 at 8.20 PM" because the movie's file format isn't recognized."
Why won't it open, and how can I get it to open? Additionally, I recorded a different video this morning and it plays just fine.
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and I have the latest Quicktime Player as well. QP used to have the controls below the video, but now they're over top of it.
I can move them around, but I can't seem to move them off of the video. This is highly irritating because it means I'm missing part of the video any time I use any of the controls, or if I just bump the mouse.
Am I the only one who's bother by this? Is there any way to change it or to revert to an older version while still using Snow Leopard.
After updating Quicktime to 7.2 it has gotten really slow when opening a movie, VLC on the other hand does this in an instant.
I can open Quicktime Player itself pretty fast, but when I want to open something, I get the beachball spinning for about 5-10 seconds, only then I can switch to the player and watch it.
This is really annoying.. I don't want to use VLC, because it is not that stable and I hate to use its FF feature. Is there something I can do about it? I tried downloading QT player from Apple and reinstalling.
i have a new macbook pro only a week old and it keeps freezing when i use firefox or watch a movie using VLC player. is there any reason why it keeps freezing.
I use Mavericks 10.9.3. see enclosed picture. Why does QuickTime Player Movie (that has been converted to QuickTime.mov) show a Flip4Mac icon on the top right hand side of movie? How do I remove that Flip4Mac icon?
A recent problem in the last few days...every time I open my web browser my machine is slowing down tremendously and I eventually get this message:
"A script in this movie is causing Flash Player 9 to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"
I'm using a Macbook Pro, Safari Version 4.0.3 (4531.9), and OS X v. 10.4.11.
For a school assignment, my friend and I made a movie and edited it on iMovie, on her Macbook Air. We put it on a USB to get it on my Macbook Air, but when I try to open it on my computer, it says that quicktime player can't open it. My friend downloaded an app called Smart Converter, which converts movies into a quicktime file that you can us on your mac, but that didn't work either. I really need to get this video on my mac, what can i do?
I want to be able to play blu-rays on my MBP and 27"imac. I don't want to rip the blu-ray to the hard drive, because that will take quite a while for each movie I want to watch.
I recently rented a movie for my son to watch, but have not been able to view it because iTunes is telling me that my computer is not authorized to view the movie. It gives me the option of authorizing the computer if I enter my iTunes Store password. I do and it gives me the same error message with the opportunity to again enter my password. If I click CANCEL it tells me what I already knew, and that is that the computer is already authorized. The rental purchase was made from this Mac and yet I'm not able to purchase it. Is there something that needs to be fixed in order to play this, or is this a bug in iTunes 10.5.3?
I downloaded a movie from the iTunes Store to my MacBook Pro (all latest software) and iTunes says it can't play the movie. Specific error says "This movie requires Quicktime which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I'm running iTunes 10.6.1 and MacOS 10.7.3.
I today purchased my first movie RENTAL on itunes, using my mac. My machine now shows the movie in the rentals tab, but when I click play, the player remains black and the timer does not move from 0.00. My purchases work absolutely fine, but for some reason this rental will not play.
Rented a movie from iTunes on my MacBook Air. The download completes but the movie won't play. It says that iTunes can't execute my request and that I should try again later. The error message number is -42110. Been trying later for two days and nothing's changed. Still get the same error message. What's odd is if I check for available downloads, it downloads the movie all over again expct it still won't play.
Info: iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2), MB Air, AppleTV, iPad 2, iPhone 4S
Just purchased Yellow Submarine (HD), the new one just released. On a Mac Pro with Apple 30" Cinema Display. Get error message "The selected movie won't play on your Display", This movie can only be played on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)." How the heck am I able to purchase a movie via iTunes on a Mac that a Mac won't play? There's no warnings or anything about it in the iTunes store or anything.
I rented the film and i can see it on the ipad but it won't play - there is a 'square' where the play 'arrow' should be. If i go back into itunes the option isn't there to 're-download' it - how do i make it play or get a refund?
I'm helping a friend out who's selling a Mac with legit copies of Leopard, iLife, iWork, and CS3 loaded on. We are supplying the disks and original packaging to the buyer as well. We're wondering if there's a way we can install all of that software from the disks, setup the person's user account with the info they provided us and at the very least, set the computer/Leopard to play the "Welcome to OS X" movie again one time. If possible, we'd like it to take the user through the initial setup again too, but I don't see how that could be possible considering you have to have a user account setup to install programs.
