More info please:
- are you on a PC or Mac?
- What player software have you tried?

Assuming you're using a PC:

- if you use quicktime, try reinstalling the latest version
- if you use another player (media player classic, etc.) install quicktime alternative
- try VLC player - it also has basic quicktime support built in.

I assume it's the Vesna clip that's causing the problems. Has it worked for anyone on a PC? if so could you let us know what you're using. The clip was cut from a divx 5.0 avi, gaining the new suffix in the export process. The first thing I would try would be simply changing the extension to avi. If it's causing too many problems I'll upload it in a more suitable format.

For that Vesna clip I get video but no audio using VLC, and audio but no video in Media Player (both Classic and normal WMP11) and Quicktime.

There were 2 or 3 mov files that I couldn't get to work from the BB posts you made last week.

Okay, so we've got DX50 inside a Quicktime MOV container.

Just rename the file as AVI and video should work.
Play the AVI in VLC to get both audio & video working.

thingfishs, in future could you use MPEG StreamClip (free) to convert your videos to proper AVI or MP4 format?
It will produce a file with better PC compatibility.

how do i change the vid to AVI? and which would it then work in WMP?

[thingfishs]

ok, my apologies. As for changing it to avi, what's being suggested is just changing the extension. Instead of .mov at the end of the filename type in .avi and there's a good chance it will work. Let me know how you go.

Do you have Windows set to show file extensions so that you can see mov/avi at the end of the file name?
If so, just rename the file and change "mov" to "avi".

If not:
- Control Panel > Folder Options...
- "View" tab > "Advanced settings" section
- Uncheck "Hide extensions for known filetypes"

Thanks billyboy, that worked. Got no sound now, but when your staring at three pairs of tits in a sauna who needs sound?

[shanem]

which video is the 3 pairs of boobs in the sauna?

Walker, just download SUPER © & use it to convert any file you can't play into AVI files. I use it all the time for everything (even YouTube videos). It's easy-peasy!

This one.
