I get audio but no picture on playback

[wolfmandim]

I use Vista Ultimate and BSplayer pro 2.34.980. I have recently bought a Panasonic TZ5 digital camera which records HD 16:9 video. Shot some video and tried to playback using BSplayer. I can hear the sound but get no picture. Checked the file properties and it's using the .MOV extension. When I play it with Nero it shows the picture OK. Since BSplayer has been declared as my default player, can you please tell me how to overcome this problem once for all?

hi, u need quicktime codecs, you can find them from here http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Download Quicktime player

QuickTime Alternative it's just enough.

I downloaded Quicktime alternative 2.8.
How do I get to work? Can someone guide me through the setup?

You should just start the installation process and then after its completion start the video playback..
But if I recall correctly I had playback problems too with the TZ5 videos, but at this moment I can't make other tests because I converted to XviD AVIs all the videos I had (and also gained more or less the 90% of the file size at almost the same resolution), and the camera it's not mine but my father's
As soon as he makes another video I'll do other tests.. sorry..

I have done the installation of Quicktime alternative again and again. Every time I am trying to view a .mov video I still get no picture. Can someone, more expert(?) than myself, give me some help? After all I switched to BSplayer for its qualities. I find it extremely weird to use one of the best players without getting all of its benefits.

I am using OJOsoft total video converter to convert my .MOV files. I have tried the "HD Video 1080p: MPEG2, 5000 kbps, 29:97 fps, Audio: 256 kbps" profile and converted the file successfully. However, I cannot play it at my home computer. What codec do I have to install to make it play?

CPU: E6700 Intel
Graphics card: ATI 4870
RAM: 4 GB
O/S: Vista Ultimate SP1

You will probably get the same answer in here too. Can you provide a sample file to test ? Do a small video file 2-3 sec and upload it using rapidshare, sendspace, any transfer site you like, but do it.

I did mention somewhere before that my rapishare use knowledge is very small. Can you provide some guidelines on how to upload the file? I have a premium account with rapidshare, anyway. So far I was only downloading files from them.

Go to rapidshare webpage. On the main page you will see a browse button. Go to the file you want to upload and upload it. A link will be provided to you. Post it here.

It looks like that converting a .mov video to HD Video 1080p works OK in my computer now. I am happy with that, given the fact that the new file is considerably smaller than the original one and the video quality is high...
Thanks for the advise so far!
