Subject: Tech: Video clips From: jacqui.c Date: 01 Jan 07 - 05:36 PM I'm having a problem playing a video clip that I've just uploaded from my camera into My Videos, via Adobe Photoshop. When I try to play it, particularly if I try to do full screen, the whole screen goes green and I lose both picture and sound. I can play the small screen in Adobe Photoshop but the problem seems to occur when I transfer this clip. I would like to be able to get it off Adobe so that I can burn it or transfer to other places. Anyone got any idea why and what I can do to sort it out? I would appreciate any advice in very simple terms - I do not consider myself to be computer literate and tech terms lose me fast! |

Subject: RE: Tech: Video clips From: Bernard Date: 01 Jan 07 - 05:59 PM Is this the only clip you've had problems with? Does it still play okay on the camera? It's just possible the file has corrupted during transfer, and downloading it again may be all you need to do. It does seem odd that it plays in Adobe's small screen... If this is the first clip you've tried to play from this particular camera, then maybe a 'codec' is missing. That's a file that tells the computer how to read your particular file format, and it should install when you install the camera software - so maybe an uninstall and reinstall would fix it. I prefer not to use camera software to transfer files, as unwanted things can happen...! It's more fiddly, perhaps, but I prefer to use Windows Explorer to copy the files, leaving the originals intact on the camera until I'm sure they are okay and have been backed up elsewhere. |

Subject: RE: Tech: Video clips From: Bill D Date: 01 Jan 07 - 06:13 PM I would try another video player. Just because you transferred it WITH Adobe, or played it (small) using Adobe, you are not restricted to using Adobe. Do you know what format it is in? ...that is, if you look at the folder where it is, using a file manager (such as Explorer, but preferably a better one), what does it say about 'type'... mpg, avi, wmv, flv...etc.? You can try double clicking on the file (the name of the video) in that list and see if it open in something else that was set to default. Do you have another player...Windows Media Player?(or better, Media Player Classic), Irfanview?, or "GomPlayer" which will play almost anything. Now...there 'may' be some setting within Adobe telling it to limit playbacks to 'small'..(I don't use Adobe) |

Subject: RE: Tech: Video clips From: Bill D Date: 01 Jan 07 - 06:23 PM (note...the default size of the clip may BE small. One can usually play it larger with some sacrifice in quality, but you should at least be able to try it.) Adobe Photoshop is not 'usually' known as or used as, a video player....it is mostly for editing of graphics. |
