| | Posted: | | | | the best way to test a media file for playability is using your internet browser:
instead of typing the url go by its menu: File > open and browse to the location where the media file is. Double clicking should start the media player, if not happens configure your player or windows what to do on that extension of the media file: *.mp3, *.mov, *.mpg, ...
you can do this either in the mediaplayer file association or by the folderoptions in your windowsbrowser: menu extra: folder options: window opens with 3 Tabs (Common, Display, File extensions) or something simular, take the file tab
example: go to the .mp3 extension
select change
either change the proposed program or select another program or browse to the program you wish that is used. | | | | Sources for one or more of the changes and/or additions were not submitted.

There may be a way of incorporating some code and something in the Notes section to specify file type, but that's beyond my coding ability. Quoting Mike: Quote:

The code I'm using for my trailers allows for different filetypes. Post up the code you are using and I'll see if I can help, dont hold your breath though, I'm only slightly above novice level myslef  |

Try replacing: document.write('<PARAM name="uiMode" value="mini"><PARAM name="PlayCount" value="1"></OBJECT>') With: document.write('<PARAM name="uiMode" value="mini"><PARAM name="PlayCount" value="1"><PARAM NAME="Volume" VALUE="100"></OBJECT>') |

You'll need to tell the code what type of file it is with a tag. Create a tag named 'trailer' with 2 child tags named 'WMV' and 'MOV' (these are case sensitive). Then just use the correct tag for the filetype of your trailer. Done a bit of testing and it seems to work fine with me. Not sure if it will do this for you but for me mov files do not play automatically, I'm required to hit play then wmp goes looking for the codecs. wmv files play automatically fine. Also tried it with vob files but as wmp doesnt support them they do not play. Now if only I could embed a powerdvd player into a html window... Edited to change the case of the tags, apparently they are case sensitive. | | | | Last edited: by MarEll |

| | Posted: | | | | Is there a way to use quicktime instead of windows media?
I have only two trailers that for some reason stopped working properly just some strange noise. All of my trailers are from quicktime and have all worked up until now when the two stopped.
Anyway since there all .mov I thought it would be easier to just use quicktime if its possible?
*Seems like my problem is no matter how I try to save it for some reason its saving them as audio files* | | | | Last edited: by Mike |

| | Posted: | | | | If WMP isn't playing them, it could be a codec issue. I highly recommend downloading the quicktime alternative codec pack. That should allow any player to play mov files.
Does quicktime play the files ok? If so then I don't think there'd be a problem using that instead. To make quicktime the default player for mov files right click the file, goto open with, then choose program and select or browse to quicktime. Don't forget to tick the 'always use' checkbox. |

Where can I find this codec package your talking about? Also I cant just make quicktime the default player its built in code for the HTML window in Dvd Profiler I think. |
