new bug might be in tds 4 as well

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

 

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

 

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

 

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).

Code:

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.

 

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

 

wow that one dont say tds

 

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?

 

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.

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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

 

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.

 

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
