deepak Posted August 4, 2008 Report Posted August 4, 2008 I attended this CME course and they gave us the lectures in iPod video format as well (.m4v), but I don't have an iPod or a Mac, so I'm having a hard time finding a way to play them on Windows. Does anyone know any reverse encoding software that can make them into a file that I can playback? Thanks.
deepak Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 quicktime for windows can play them. I have the Quicktime plugin for Media Player Classic and that isn't working.
deepak Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 I'll try Quicktime. I don't like it though
deepak Posted August 4, 2008 Author Report Posted August 4, 2008 Save up for speakers or buy superfluous second laptop... hmm. Quicktime 7 is working, it's not bad. Yay I can now watch my heart failure videos.
Dusty Chalk Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 I bet iTunes would have played it as well.
blessingx Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 x2 on VLC. Or try changing extension to .mp4 and see if you have better luck with your player of choice. .m4v may mean it's encrypted, but just as likely to mean it's .mp4 with a iPod friendly extension.
deepak Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Posted August 5, 2008 VLC crashes when opening any of the files.
blessingx Posted August 5, 2008 Report Posted August 5, 2008 Hmmm my experience is opposite of the two of you. Rarely problems with VLC with MP4s, though there can be a ton of issues with encoding. Maybe it's DRMed and you have to play in iTunes/QT?
