Jim and MPEG4
 

I just now read that Jim passed away...I am so sorry for this misfortune for everyone that knew him...He had helped me out me out many times...once again I am sorry.

I know hoster plays mpeg videos but does it support mpeg 4?

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

Yes it does. At least I know that 4.11 does and version 4.20 will too. You do have to have the codec for MP4 installed though for it to work.

Where ight one download it....I tried downloading one for media player but it didnt work

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

Search for K-Lite codec pack. This will get you downloads of the best pack with all kinds of codecs. If I remember right you have to uninstall and existing packs already installed before you install the newest one. I suggest using the Full pack instead of the standard to get the most codecs.

When I load a CD on my laptop it loads it as MPEG4. Windows Media Player and Itunes plays it well, but I can't get it to recognize it for Audio or Backgroung Audio. Is there something I'm doing wrong I downloaded the codecs mentioned above I may have done something wrong there.
I'm not sure this thread is talking about video only??:s

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

MP4 is a video format and not an audio format. The format for audio is MP3. If the disk you loaded is MP4 then they are video format.

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

I'm totally confused, why does all my laptops only recognize a regular store bought CD (not DVD) as MPEG4??? Am I the only one with that problem.

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

I am guessing so. No one else has ever reported anything like that. If you look at the CD with Explorer they should show as CDA.

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

wow, what other choice do i have to get audio to play on hoster?? I guess that's a feature I can't use:f

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

What does Windows Explorer show for file extension?
You cannot load Audio only files into Hoster from CDs (took me a while to realize what you are doing). Hoster is looking for WAV, WMA, or MP3 which have to be on your hard drive. It will not import directly from an Audio CD.

I figured out what my problem is and it's going to take me a while to fix it.
When you load CD's into Itunes it does put them on the hard drive for some odd reason it puts it there as MPEG4, I just ripped a CD through Windows Media Player and it is MP3 and will work on Hoster, so I need to use media player to reload all of my CD's to be able to use them on Hoster
ouch that hurts.:e

Thanks for your help:)

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

You could also rip them through Microstudio if you have it.
If you are going to use Windows Media Player then you may want to do one and try importing it. I had problems doing that because of the DRM that WMP uses.

Re: Jim and MPEG4
 

Thanks, I do have microstudio
