new bug might be in tds 4 as well

[Mr.Blaze]

8) when i save incomplet avi movies or badly coded movies when i double click on them instead of windows media 10 comeing up and playing the movie tds comes up

so to by pass it i have to right click select open with

but double clicking is a no no on such files

i can understand half dowenloaded exe's programs or unreconized files

but the new windows media well play half incomplet movies

[Jooske]

Hi Blaze, is that TDS upcoming to scan the files or trying to run them?
Are your file associations right?

[Mr.Blaze]

well i double click on movie file and tds shows up doing i think the scan you know black screen talks to you checks the process and any change in your system type thing

[Gavin - DiamondCS]

This is only because the file extension must not be "AVI" or "MPG" or otherwise known extension. Files with the extension .DAT for example might be defaulting to "Scan with TDS" or if they have NO extension, the default might still be "scan with TDS"

Right click menu shows the default action for that filetype, in bold

[Mr.Blaze]

;D thx big G ill try that

[Mr.Blaze]

:o it say scan with TDS how do i change it it scaning my mpeg 2 and mpeg 1 and avi

damn sp2 this only happend after sp2 or maybe windows media player 10 hmmmmmm no clues can you help me stop this it geting anoying im on windows xp home edition

[Mr.Blaze]

Hi Blaze :)

Oops I really don't know whether I can help you... :-[

Just only a few thoughts:
Take for example such a mpeg file that will not be opened with MediaPlayer on your system:
What kind of extension has it ?
Let's say it has mpeg as extension (I really don't know...).
Now you could have a look at your file-associations for such a file-type.
My problems are: I have W 98 SE and not XP, and I have the Dutch version of Windows. So I really am not sure about how to do this on an English version of XP.
You might like to try this:
Open My Computer,
Click View,
Click Map Options,
Click File-types,
Scroll down on the list until you have MPEG,
Left Click on it,
Is there now a screen showing that tells you "Open with WMPLAYER" ?,
If it is not showing WMPLAYER, then you might have there some button that allows you to change it and tell it to open such a file-type with WMPLAYER (maybe you need to put in the full path to WMPLAYER).


BUT :
Like I said, I might be wrong here, not knowing how this kind of things work on your system :-[
So I really hope that someone, with knowledge about XP-home with SP2, will jump in here and try to help you !

Take care !
Cheers, Jan.

[Mr.Blaze]

8) wow my budy jan come to the rescue but not wayne or galvin where my wayne and galvin be good stick

;D lolllll anyways i did what you said xp a littile diffrent but i found the file asochiation box all say windows media player

could it be the scan control in tds you think i included all video formats to?

[FanJ]

{QUOTE->

Hi Blaze :)

No, I don't think that the Scan Control configuration in your TDS-3 is involved here. But we need Wayne/Gavin/Jason here to be sure about that ;)

I have to admit that I am really puzzled about what is causing this behaviour on your system... :-[

[Jooske]

Hi Blaze, do i understand the files were played correctly with the Windows Media Player before the SP2 update?
Would it help to update (reinstall will be complicated) the Windows Media Player and look carefully if all file formats are well associated to it?
I keep having problems with mpeg files in various players and updated that part in all of them, quicktime, realplayer/oneplayer, etc but i keep getting warnings all time for that in every player, so i try not to worry......
Maybe mpeg doesn't like my win98.

[Mr.Blaze]

ill if i right click on file and select open with windows media player movie play fine

but if i double click on it tds opens up instead doing a long as scan

all formats to windows media 10 is asochiated corectly

but the the main guy said if i right click tds is in bold letters

really strange

[FanJ]

Hi Blaze,

In your first posting you said that you had this problem with "incomplet avi movies or badly coded movies".

Do you have the problem only with incomplete movies, or with all movies?

[Mr.Blaze]

i reformat videos seems like all mpeg 1 has this problem

[FanJ]

{QUOTE-> i reformat videos <-QUOTE}

Oops sorry Blaze

I'm afraid I don't understand that (my fault !)

{QUOTE->
seems like all mpeg 1 has this problem <-QUOTE}
Very strange !


For Wayne, Gavin, Jason :
May I please ask you guys to jump in here and try to give some help ?
Thanks !

[Sweetie(*)(*)]

just a thought, i had a partial download of an mpeg movie which had a hidden ext .IIV [viiri i think] awhile ago, it was picked up by my av [NOD32] as newheur virus. did a little investigating an it seem possible that there are programers being paid by anti p2p [movie studios riaa etc] to place such things in movie and music files. for what pourpose i dont know but it was very strange because the program i was using warns of exectuing files as possibly containing virus etc.
no such warning with this 1.
i was also told that my av probably shouldnt have been able 2 pick this up, mabey the advanced hueristics, whatever im very glad that i had nod32 an not another av. probably not related 2 your problem but i thought i would mention it as im not sure what that file would do if not detected, the movie previewed perfectly, only catch was it wanted internet access.

[Gavin - DiamondCS]

Hi,

It doesn't seem like a problem to me. If you download a file and its REAL extension is MPG, it will open with whatever is associated with .MPG files, its that simple. If the file is not complete and the program you use to download puts another extension on the end, right-click the file and choose OPEN WITH. Or open the movie playing software, and go to FILE > OPEN and then open the incomplete file :)

[Mr.Blaze]

sound like you calling blaze a lier im starting to notice not only my posts go un notice by you guys except for jooskey and jan but my feed back as if i dont know **** so maybe a picture will paint it for you

after even useing a video encoder and reformating movies tds still opens any movie file even if it is assochiated with windows media player

here look

HERE HOW IT STARTS I GO TO MY DESKTOP OPEN MY PORN FOLDER

[Mr.Blaze]

;D OPEN UP MY PORN STASH

[Mr.Blaze]

8) DOUBLE CLICK ON MY PORN VIDEO >:( AND LOOK SEE I TELLING TRUTH

[Mr.Blaze]

I even went out of my way to get sccreen shot of right click propertys windows media [;layer file assochiaton if a picture says a thousand words bamn

i feel lately you gus dont like me or just dont think i know what im talking about

same with pg3 crashing on my pc you post replys to every one but me in the pg3 beta thread

so frome now on im post every damn bug in dcs products with lots of pictures seem the only way you will adress it then

by >:(

[Mr.Blaze]

;D oh also note that my porn vidio stills show nothing offensive that you would not see in pg 13 there fully clothed or in skimpy outfits not wanting to go algaints toss

basicly same thing to see at a bikini website

didnt want to offend woman or any one at this forum

you cant even tell that it porn lol other then i say it is

but see i wasnt makeing this stuff up oh by the way i have no other movies then these to show you an example only videos on this pc are lol um those kind and the stills are alot dirtyer then these ones lol so i used the cleanst ones so not to offend

[Jooske]

Hi Blaze, can understand your frustrations (in the files extensions matter)
but nobody is calling you a liar, just trying to get to understand what is happening.
If you rightclick the file what do the properties tell you, and when you cick once to see the file associations to open with .... ?
There could be one other solution which is to disable the rightclick option from TDS for exe files, just to try, you can always have it back with the "rightclickall.ss3" from the usersubmitted TDS scripts.
Gavin ever posted a few times that undo rightclick scan file but i don't see it that quick for you.

Is it all time with the mpeg files or every avi of whatever the extensions of movies you have? And only those on your HD or also when tried to play from DVD?

Thanks for a glimpse of your images. Didn't know about your travel agency to south sea beaches and palm trees.

[Mr.Blaze]

:) yup you mean this also file asochiations are already on last pic it shows windows media player as default device for playing movies

[Mr.Blaze]

yup it every video format now damn

so it kinda anoying

maybe it tds and window media player 10

[Notok]

You might try going into WMP, click tools > options, switch to the 'file types' tabs, and select the ones you want ("select all" would be the easiest, if you don't mind WMP being used for all your media files.) See if you can get it to re-take those associations.

If they are selected, deselect them, hit ok, then go back in and reselect them

[Mr.Blaze]

:o ohhhh i get it by george i think he gots it ill be right back it just might work

[Mr.Blaze]

:'( nope but good try i remember windows media 9 could be fixed that way by reasochiating the files but not with cursed wmv 10

[Bowserman]

Hi Blaze :).

I would like you to check something out mate...might be a long shot, but may let us see the problem ;).



First, download this MPG movie and save to desktop (just a video of a crab in the ocean being sucked into a pipe).

http://www.punchbaby.com/media/gitfakt/clips/ouch/crabVsPipe.mpg


Now, open up regedit:
START> RUN> type in regedit and then click OK.

Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mpg and expand all folders. Then highlight .mpg (like in my screenshot).

Now, right-click on the crabVsPipe.mpg on the desktop and select Open With. Don't do anything though (like in my screenshot).



Please take a screenshot of it all like mine and post back, that might help folks to maybe see any problems.


Regards,
Jade.

[Mr.Blaze]

ok brb lol hey your windows skin look awsome is that done with windows blind

[Mr.Blaze]

wow that one dont say tds

[Mr.Blaze]

well when i double click on your movie it worked fine but when i clicked on my (full) Night Shift Nurses tds came up same exact extention?

[Primrose]

Blazer ,
I am wondering a few things here. First I think you mentioned that these movies you have ( and might have had some before you installed SP2), that you had some of them in another format at first and then changed them to MPEG 1 to play them and that before you had the WMP9 and then got the new 10 thingie. Yes, i know you have the double left click and the tds going on... yet just as a long shot..I was reading this the other day about problems with that player and the SP2 and wondered if it might help you too.


It start out>>
I upgraded to XP SP2 and since have had no luck on playing some of my AVI files. All I get are the visualization. WMP thinks the vids are audio files. The AVI files were created with DiVX codec which used to work fine.

and here

http://www.moviecodec.com/thread/1097.html

[Primrose]

Also to tell you there is a big discussion going on right now about that Player and all the problems people are having.. :(

DO NOT UPGRADE to MediaPlayer 10


http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&client=googlet&th=56912a20c3a9ce03

[Mr.Blaze]

so it just a window media player 10?

will when i remade the movies by re encodeing them i used microsoft codecs and sound codecs

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Mr.Blaze]

8) will im dowenload new verstion of ffdshow see if that fix it

[Mr.Blaze]

i dowenloaded new verstion of ffdshow still no fix but im try one last thing

after that lets take a break from this as i am loseing my hair doing this stuff lol

if this dont work big deal i can always select left click open with wmp


im going to assochiate all files of media to real one player run all media then i will reasochiate them with wmp stranger things have happens befor lol

[Mr.Blaze]

fixed it there were sevral things that contributed to this phenomenon

Seems that both real player and windows media player 10 do not get along with the following applications

real player classic knowen as real alternitive
windows media player classic windows alternitive
quick time alternitive

tds dose not get along with

real player classic knowen as real alternitive
windows media player classic windows alternitive
quick time alternitive

removed all 3 offending applications above

asochiated all medial files with the newest verstion of real player

played movie

open windows media 10

reassochiated all media files with media player 10
every thing works now tds dose not scan medial files on double click

Hi Blaze :).

Gald that you got it sorted out. On my comp, I am using Media Player 10, Winamp and Quicktime and they get along fine......just have to be careful with wich programs you associate certain files with.

Regards,
Jade.

[Mr.Blaze]

those other 3 applications are arternitive players and not the real thing

there made by difrent programers and not the main guys from microsoft and real or mac

[kever]

The way I see this is your movie will be opened with TDS because it is bold. The way to handle this is click on properties, then click on the tab general and choose the button change, then find in the list Windows media player and be sure that you check the line always use this program. That must be the way to let Windows media player handle this file again.

[Mr.Blaze]

EHHHHHHHH WRONG

i already said the three programs that were causeing havoc i just uninstall and reasochiated the media files done

that open always with box that your talking about has screwed me more then once i never will algain use that function

playing with that is a no no cause i have several media players on this machine

simple options reasochiate done is better dosent make permeant changes
