How can I play back a film that was worked on VLC (.avi) on my Mac?Someone made a Spanish subtitle on my docu-film and sent it to me from Mexico, so I downloaded VLC free download for Mac, but it's not opening on my computer.

I'm running 10.7.3 Server to host a Wiki with a local business. Everything is running great except for one thing. Embedded media.
Whenever we attach video files or keynote media, it will play back on the machine we posted it from but once anyone else pulls up the content on their machine it will show a media playback bar but will not play back. We've tried .mov, .m4v, .mp4 etc. and it will never play back.
My Mf 4350d printer does not work with lion Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2., it worked with Snow leopard no problem. How to do any changes carefully.

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.

So yesterday I bought a lovely 1080p LED monitor (Benq 2420HDBL) and I want to watch some HD movies through it.
The files are all ripped to .mkv and I've noticed VLC is buggy as hell (Jerky playback, lots of artifacts etc.) I know my Mac is up to the task (New 'decoding: 10 Mac pro) so it can't be that.
I saw this article that says VLC is really bad for H264: [URL]
I've done the steps labeled above, but with only very very minor success.
Are there any other players you could recommend? (Not M player 2 though, just tried that and I got HUGE burst of white noise through my high end audio monitors (luckily they have in-built limiters, if not I have no doubt I'd be deaf/looking at a very annoying repair).
I have an iMac G5. Running Leopard 10.5.2. It's working just swimmingly... except that it won't play back h264 video. I have the latest versions of both Quicktime and VLC. Each app handles the video files differently. Quicktime will give me this message: "The movie could not be opened. An invalid sample description was found in the movie." VLC will play the audio, but not the video. My computer can handle HD playback just fine (I watch most of my movies in 720p AVI files,) so that can't be the problem. This is just driving me insane. Does anyone have a solution for me?

View 1 Replies View RelatedMy road to Snow Leopard was a bumpy one. I was given all sorts of bad advice at many forums across the internet, mostly by snobby people. Finally found some helpful adults at the Apple discussions forum who suggested a total re-install of everything. Obviously my upgrade install never worked, as CS4, Quicktime, system dialog boxes were crashing, and MS Office 2004 never opened. Next I tried clean install and migration assistant. That didn't clear up any of the crashing problems either. The third time did work though, and if some of you are experiencing the same crashes, please take note.
You'll need to build up the system back from scratch. Yup, no upgrade, no migration assistant, you'll need to re-install everything with a brand new user account. That's how I finally got Snow Leopard to behave with all my apps, extensions, and utilities. Photoshop CS4 works properly now, MS Office 2004 opens, and no crashing on the system dialog boxes. Eye One Match calibrated my displays with no problems, despite its PPC nature. So now I'm a happy camper, my $29 didn't get wasted, but it wasn't an easy way to make OS X 10.6 work. I do wish Apple had put out some suggestions that a total re-install might clear up some of the bugs. So now I'll just get back to work, because everything works again!
I'm looking for advice on how to (finally) get wireless internet on my powerbook g4. When I bought it in 2005 the wireless worked poorly. The Genius Bar guys told me that nothing was wrong so I just used an ethernet throughout college. But now I'm done with college and needed my wireless to work better. So I brought it back to the Genius Bar and they told me my wireless card wasn't working properly.
They won't replace is because I'm out of warranty (which is frustrating because they didn't diagnose it 5 years ago, but that's not the point). I replaced the wireless card using one from a friend's old Powerbook (same generation and size, 12"). But now the internet just doesn't work at all. Is there a product I can buy to put in the machine or in the USB Port to enable Wireless Connection.
So I've never owned a mac computer before but after enjoying my iphone 4 and ipad 3g I think I'm jumping ship from windows. I just have a few questions and I'd appreciate any answers I could get. Will the base model be sufficient for my needs? Mainly going to be web browsing and using it as a media station with iTunes. The only thing I'm not sure of is ripping blu-rays. How long would it take to do a 1080p rip on the base model iMac and would the base model be sufficient enough to play back these rips? I'm currently having issues on my hp laptop even playing back 720p blu-ray rips.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI made a DVD in iMovieHD, which I burned to DVD using Toast Titanium. The disk played and I watched it in different players. I made a copy for my son and he was able to view it on his PC. Now, neither disc is readable. I currently use iMovie 6. The computer does not recognize the disc at all and ejects it. The DVD was of our 2007 vacation to Yellowstone and I still have the still images and DV tape, but I really don't want to remake the video. How can it be possible that a DVD that once worked perfectly, is no longer recognized?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSo my regular cd-rom/burner died immediately after my warranty was up, so I went on ebay about bought this $65 superdrive:

I took my macbook apart, managed to crack the keyboard in the process (tack on another $50), and eventually swapped out the drive. Before I reassembled everything I booted it up and the drive took my cd and played it on itunes. So, I put it all back together, every little friggin screw, except like 4 and now the drive won't respond. I can hear it spinning when it boots, but when I log in there's nothing. There's a cd in it, and I can't eject it. When I hit eject, nothing happens, not even the little graphic that appears on the screen. I know its still connected because I hear it spin on start up.
I have a powermac g4 M5183 that was recently given to me, It worked for a while but then it started sending me to a screen that says "please restart" regardless of how many times I have restarted it. I was wondering if there was either a way to fix this or since I have no files that I'm concerned about saving if there was a way that I could just purchase the newest OS X program and restart everything.

I'm very shocked about what happened today. I convinced my friend to get a macbook pro since he could run windows and mac (and at the same time through vmware fusion) so he went out and got a 17" macbook pro (don't post about how he should have waited for the January update cause already told him and he didn't care). Well he bought a vista upgrade installation dvd through the university of texas and it worked fine with bootcamp.
He purchased it for $34 and had no previous version of xp or any other version of windows for that matter and the upgrade dvd worked fine with the boot camp installation. Is the upgrade version he got through ut different than the standard retail vista ultimate upgrade dvd? All we did was select clean install of windows operating system as the upgrade selection was grayed out since there was no previous version of windows. Then clicked on advanced, formatted bootcamp created disk, and installed
why Google Maps has worked only 1% of the time on this MacBook Pro ("MBP") - either before or after I have undertaken 'Empty Cache' and 'Reset Safari'?All I get is an empty Google maps screen with markers (if I had requested a search). This has been true ever since I had this MBP two years ago and IS UNACCEPTABLE Apple! So that means Google Maps has not worked properly the whole time I have had this MBP I assume this is an attempt by Apple to dissuade us from using Google services because they are a major threat to Apple.

On the advice of various forum members, I recently upgraded my 2008 Mac Pro to 12 GB of RAM (from 4 GB), in order to solve an issue I was having with Logic. Unfortunately the issue is still present and I am wondering what to do as I've already blown my budget to fix it. I'm hoping someone here can help.
I use the Vienna Symphonic Library through ESX24 in Logic 9, on a 2008 Mac Pro (2.8 Ghz octocore). When I attempt to play back some of my compositions, Logic hits a wall with certain sections, indicating "System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011)" I did check System Profiler, and all the RAM is being recognized.Is there any way to solve this without new hardware? As a side note, I was wondering how I can add more than 255 ESX24 tracks as Logic seems to cap out at that. Please let me know anything I can try.
Question, I just got a new Magic Mouse - is there a protective film on the top/touch surface that it ships with? I can't see an obvious layer to peel, but the top surface feels very "sticky" vs slippery as they do in the store, making it difficult to swipe or scroll effectively.I just don't want to pick at the mouse senselessly and scratch it if it really doesn't have a film layer on it.
