Vista search has presets for pictures, e-mail, documents, music and other. How can I set it to find all video clips regardless of extension without doing a separate search for each extension?
View 5 RepliesI previously had XP Pro. When I watched video clips on the Internet the video clip would be downloaded in to the Temporary Internet Files. These were mostly .flv, or .mpg but sometimes .wmv or other video files. These small video clips were from news items, UTube or any other source. I could then copy these files to other folders and keep the video clip. This also was the same for audio files.
I now have a new computer running Vista Ultimate SP2. When I view any video clip from the Internet the files do not appear in the Temporary Internet File folder and I cannot find them anywhere else. Why is this? Are they downloaded to a "Hidden" folder? How can I again save these downloaded video and audio clips? (other than changing back to XP?)
When I transfer video clips from my camera, video works in windows movie maker but there's no audio. The clips are avi and I have vista Home Premium. I installed k-lite codec pack and now have audio in media player but there is still no audio in movie maker. When this problem first arose I couldn't get sound from the clips on anything but quick time. By installing the k-lite pack it enabled sound in photosmart essential, wmp and media center but still not in photo gallery or wmm. I really like the features I see in wmm and would like to experiment.
When I import audio tracks from other places they play just fine in wmm just not the audio from my video clips. And these play fine elsewhere! Also my daughter has avi video clips from her camera that do play in wmm. I downloaded gspot and it says audio was rendered with mulaw - video mjpg. In solutions to make it work were: Src-A-Avi splitter -B - ffdshow video decoder - C - video renderer Src - A - Avi splitter-B-ffdshow Audio Decoder - C Default Direct Sound Device Mute is not checked. I would think it was a camera problem but the clips play fine elsewhere.
I've got a darn awesome friend who's having some problems with movie maker, she's bin making a movie maker video for weeks but she cant get it to publish properly somehow I've tried everything in my power to try and solve this but cant...
when she tries to publish the video it publishes it all but when she plays it back the video clips she has put into her video with titles and transitions don't play, the transitions and titles do but the video clips from her camera don't, any solutions

View 5 Replies View RelatedI may not understand how Windows Explorer's Search (W/E Search) is supposed to work. I know how the Find in the DOS Window works, so let me start with an example using FIND. My expectation that both have similar capabilities is perhaps misplaced. In the "search for content" thread below I describe the steps I took to make sure the .DAT extension is in the index control panel, and re-indexed several times to insure that .DAT files are in the index.
I have a folder named TPL which I think has been indexed. It has about 5000 text files in it most of which happen to have the extension .DAT, and several other text files, some of which have the extensions .INC and .TXT. I know some of the files have the phrase GRID in them, some multiple times. I go to the folder I want in DOS, and get to the point where the cursor is:............
I have a file in my appdata folder that I'd like to check and see if duplicates exist in other (sub) folders. I copy the filename exactly and then paste it in the search box on the start button. Vista says there are no such files. Meanwhile I'm looking at at least one copy of the file in another window?

Why can't I search and find all locations of a specific file extension? I used to be able to do that! When I try it now it only allows the search in one directory!
I'm not new to windows or computers.
I just cant' seem to get search to work worth a damn in Vista. Files that I know I have Vista doesn't find and it is extremely slow. I'm not a computer expert by any stretch, but I never had trouble with using search in XP.
I do like much about Vista, just need a search feature that doesn't search for stuff like my kids would. Anyone point me to a program that works with Vista and is safe to use?
I read this tutorial many months ago to learn the secrets of this very powerful tool that Windows Desktop Search is compared to the old plain search in XP: Many people still ignore how sophisticated Window Desktop Search can be or worse they simply blame it and regret old search engine... go learn how to use it first! Today I discovered that it can actually be used to find also MP3s by duration (finally)! Let's say you want to search for all music >6 mins long... First enable natural language search, it's much easier: ...after this passage, you can type in this in the Start menu: music duration >3600000000 and you'll find all MP3s greater than 360 seconds (6 mins)! Isn't that simple? Don't ask my you have to add 7 zeroes after the seconds, but it works! Obviously you can do much more with the Advanced Query Syntax and this is just an example Hope this hint can be useful for others as it was for me...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI must be missing something obvious... How do I do an XP style search? You remember, right-click a folder, click "Search", and have Vista search the selected folder? I've been unable to find this primitive operation. I'm willing to give up search control to Vista for local drives, but indexing our entire network, and each and every USB stick/USB Hard drive seems, well, silly for the once or twice a month I need to search in those locations. I'm willing to wait the thirty seconds it takes to search, because I can normally limit the size of the search ("Let me look through the code tree for December", for example).

What's the deal? Is there a way to indeed apply ratings to pictures and movies using those stars, or ??? why are they there??

View 9 Replies View Relatedexcept for a few grand issues like Search failing with special/technical searches rather than simple filename search, 85% of this OS is now great. I love it now.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI've got an apparently "broken" search installation. So that I can skip through the normal "click the folder you want to index" type of answers, it's way beyond that. Let me give some background first. This is a new installation of Vista x64 Ultimate on this machine. I just installed it a little over a week ago after I got a blue screen of death that wouldn't allow any type of system restore, etc on the prior install. My prior installation on that machine was a Vista Ultimate x32 bit. The prior installation had the OS on the C: drive and I had moved "My Documents" out of a Windows XP onto the D: drive (D:My DOcuments).
In that prior installation, I left all Music, Videos, documents etc. under the original layout and just pointed the Vista "music", "documents", etc folders to the sub folders. I had no problem indexing on my prior version. I have a Vista 64 bit Ultimate at work as well and IT has no problem indexing even under the default locations..........
