Greetings, Tony

It is nice to be communicating with you. The question for which I’m in need of you help is probably a tough one: I’ve asked it in different places and never got an answer for it. So brace yourself:

I use Windows Media Player to watch movies, especially DVDs, and occasionally, Video CDs. I have no problem playing DVDs, be it a Hollywood one or personal one. Sound and picture is always great. However, Windows Media Player loves to call my beloved movies “Unknown DVD”. (I have included two screenshots.) But why? What’s wrong? How can I make Windows Media Player recognize my movies with their proper names? Is it something related to disc format or Windows Media Player itself?

Curiosity is killing me. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Regards,

John

Firefox 3.6 has a couple of minor improvements. The one user’s will most appreciate is instant previews of personas, which are skins for Firefox. Basically, it shows a picture over the unused portions of your browser window. Go to GetPersonas.com to check them out.

As I detail in that video, there are also many behind-the-scenes improvements. Performance is up about 15% compared to Firefox 3.5, and the new version has support for several new types of Web content, including full-screen video (without using Flash), gradient backgrounds in CSS, Web Open Fonts Format, drag-and-drop support, and the ability for Web pages to interact with your computers accelerometer (if you have one, like the new Macs do).

I also cover how to fix incompatible add-ons. Basically, grab the Add-on Compatibility Reporter add-on and restart Firefox. Easy.

Hi Tony….

Our school is looking for a flip type video camera to be used in the classroom then downloaded onto a computer into Windows Movie Maker.  The cameras we have found so far have files that have to be converted to a .wmv file.  Do you know if there are any that produce a .wmv file so a conversion does not have to be done?  We are just trying to eliminate a step and make it easy to use in the classroom by students.

Question:

I cannot open any WMV sent to me. I see a one shot preview but that is all. Then I get is a pop up that states I have no rights or proxy setting s are wrong or file location not correct. Everything looks ok to me.
