Still having mp4 problems

Bealman · March 30, 2012, 01:59:51 AM

Hi - I mention this a little while ago in a different thread and got replies - thanks Tank & Mustermark - but I am still having probs. I have put two mp4 videos in my album but can only get sound. Mustermark assures me that they can play if you click on a download option? I can't find that anymore. Well there is the word 'downloads' but its not clickable. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
Oh, and forgive my bumbling absolute naievety (sp?), but what does PM mean (in context of this forum)?
Thanks!

See the screenshot below. You get here by clicking on the film icon:

Right at the bottom are the words Report and Download. Click on Download and it should play in a media player window.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the prompt reply from NC! I have followed your instructions but unfortunately I don't get the words 'report" and "download'. (Sorry - I don't know how to do screenshots) All I get are the words Report, edit, delete, move and unapprove.
I wonder if its something to do with the fact that its my own album, not someone else's? Cheers anyhow!

A PM is a Private Message. You can make a PM by click the relevant icon under their avatar.

I think it may be best to upload your video's to YouTube and then link them back to here, as it doesn't seem to work by uploading them to the forum, sadly. Thanks for your persistance!

Hi Bealman,

I think tank is right berst way is to upload them to you tube then post on the forum

I tried the direct links as below from the codes in your album if you click on the links it should open a window to ask if you want to use windows media player to show them works here for me that way on both videos

Crunch! Forgot to switch off the section at end of platform!

I don't have the "Download" button either

Is it because I is Scottish???

Woohoo, Upnick! That works a treat! I clicked on your links and my machine went straight into Quicktime and away it went.... straight into the end of the line again! Ouch. These new improved locos are great but too expensive to be playing silly games with! Cheers! Bealman
