Opening a video!

TWINKIE6816 · 12-23-2009, 11:57 AM

I can not get them to load on my computer! Any video that is an attachment I can not bring up. It opens in a new window but, it just says done with no video! I am using Firefox. Thanks for any help!

Just a thought....Save the file on your PC then try to open it.

Also, you might want to download this media player. I can't recall any media file it won't open.

I didn't even realize I could save it to my computer! Thanks Ron, that helped out. I still wish I could just play it without saving but, it work's no matter what! Thanks

Do I understand your post. You saved it on your PC and WAS able to play it. If you download VLC it might play before saving. Also if you have VLC and save the media to a file, right click on themediayou savedand choose "Open With"..."Choose Program" select program ie VLC and click box at the bottom. When done go back to the original place where you saw the media and try and open it. See if it will open without saving.

Yes, I saved the file and it was able to play fine. I still was not able to play it without saving it first. I will try saving then opening with VLC and I will post back with the results.

I still can't open straight from the forum without saving 1st. But, as long as I save it, then I can open it. That will work for now!

I was checking Firefox out.. Are you running the 3.5 version?

The problem is with Fire Fox, I have the same issues. You will have to save it first. Also to post pics you have to upload to the photo gallery then post from there
