Obviously there is a common denominator somewhere that affects both IE and Firefox but not Chrome. I've had issues with Firefox not playing a video in the past but IE *would*. It was always because Firefox was missing some plug-in and installing it fixed the problem. But why his computer won't play them in IE as well is a mystery to me. I dunno', sometimes it just happens. We have several computers all running win 7 here. Intermittently we get one that won't play one particular media file for no apparent reason. Do the codecs and such, all media updates etc... Still a file won't play on one that plays on all others, never figured it out in some cases. In almost all cases, installing Nero on the computer, solves the problem. My laptop still will not play MP4. I have a good conversion program and I don't use MP4 on the web anyway, so I haven't looked into that.... |

"Most" people who don't download and intall a lot of software on a Windows system don't have an issue. It's John that's the exception. And it "fixed itself" by using Chrome. Installing Chrome didn't fix anything other than allow him to view videos played with the Adobe Flash player. He still has something screwy with IE and Firefox and some of us are trying to help him determine what it is. Your all inclusive comment that "Most people who don't download and intall (sic) a lot of software on a Windows system don't have an issue" is bull****. It also suggests that those who *do* have and use a lot of installed software have issues, which is also bull****. You seem to have a "my way or the highway" on virtually any subject. Thing is, most people don't follow your path. I have a three year old Toshiba sattelite laptop as my main workhorse. It has a I5 processor M 430 at 2.27 GHz and only 4mb ram, win 7 premium. Typically I will run Paint shop pro Acrobat Flash 8 Editor Dreamweaver Firefox All video converter ....and many times I have UTorrent running in the background downloading motocross related videos.. I run a lot of other programs too here and there, but most and sometimes all of the ones listed above tend to be running at the same time, when computer is running and I am working... even while I am sitting here plinking to you all. Another note is, I shut down about twice a day maybe for this or that, but otherwise my laptop runs, 24/7 and is never in sleep mode even when I am  As I noted before, I can't remember the last system crash I had, don't think I have ever had a "blue screen of death" on this machine, I don't run chkdsk, I don't defrag, I don't scan disk... I just beat on the thing, and it keeps on going.... That's the fact, Jack!!! (apologies to anybody here named Jack, this does not mean you in particular |

Obviously there is a common denominator somewhere that affects both IE and Firefox but not Chrome. I've had issues with Firefox not playing a video in the past but IE *would*. It was always because Firefox was missing some plug-in and installing it fixed the problem. But why his computer won't play them in IE as well is a mystery to me. Was just thinking about this. Many videos today are in .mp4 format because it supports high definition files. Windows XP or Vista can not naturally play .mp4 files. You have to use something like Quicktime to view them. Maybe you can add the proper codec to allow it, but I've never researched that. XP and Vista can play mpeg, avi and wmv video files naturally but not .mp4 Windows 7 added .mp4 viewing capability. On a browser an .mp4 is typically played in Adobe's Flash player which makes them viewable, even though XP and Vista won't play a natural .mp4. Given that, and since both IE and Firefox won't play videos (and I think John said he has an XP machine) I suspect the problem is the Flash player settings in IE and Firefox. Somehow when he installed Chrome, the Flash player settings were incorporated. I think I've got the Flash player settings 'opened' up as much as possible. And, the problem affects only certain videos, not all. Here's an example of one that plays well in Chrome, but will not play in IE or Firefox. http://www.velocityspeedmethod.com/dkls-special-aos/dk-4-apo/?inf_contact_key=084fded2875b47cc054c4ef17869c6daa 45e3281b4bcb334b069370c5c45631f The Adobe Flash Player settings, which I get to by right-clicking the video, are identical for both Chrome and Firefox, and the versions are the same. This is true for both the local and global settings. It's just weird. But I don't think it's Bush's fault. Playing on Firefox says Flash 11.9.009.something, something, something.... |

I am just guessing though, because I don't know what I am talking about. Yeah, shut up Mac Boy! Other than the very nice display, I haven't really gotten "into" the Mac thing .... yet. I have determined one thing for sure though. For my amateur, hobby level interest in recording and mixing music files, the Mac is head and shoulders better at it than the Windows computers I have. Issues like latency are virtually non-existent and the Mac seems to handle gobs of input data without slowing down or getting hung up in any way. The Windows machines can do it also but you can sometimes see them struggling a little to keep up with the data input while simultaneously playing several tracks that I've already recorded. I think that's the reason most professional recording/mixing engineers use Macs. |
