Installation and Codecs

This page is still under construction, more coming soon.

When video and audio files are saved, a codec is chosen to manage the data output. Codecs are used for both compressed and uncompressed audio and video files.
Codecs are related to file formats, like mp3, mov, avi, and so on... but, multiple codecs can be used to save the same format. Because of this, the ability to play a format does not guarantee the video files will play, and in some cases a codec must be installed on the system.

Listed below are the media players that can be used to play the video files for asileFX training products. Some training has been changed, and updated, over the course of its life. Please check the format of the video files and compare to the list of acceptable media players.

Required Codecs

.avi	EnSharpen
.mov	QuickTime or QT Alternative
.mp4	Flash 9+ (10+ suggested)

Troubleshooting

Training

How do I play the training?

Most training includes an html file, or a set of html files used to play the training. The file will be in the main directory and named one of the following:
(the product name) (PLAY) (PLAY_productname) (AUTORUN) (MainMenu) (Tutorial_Menu) (MAIN_Tutorial_Menu)

Video files for older products (or if you do not want to run the training through your web browser) can be opened manually. Video files will be found in the directory with one of the following names:
(Training) (Tutorial) (Tutorials) (MenuSource)

.mov file issues - screen black, no audio, no video, video skips

Try installing QT Alternative and/or VLC Player.

If you own the CD or DVD version, copy all files to your HD.

If you downloaded the training product, write the files to a CD/ DVD, or try re-downloading the training.

In the QuickTime Player options, turn on safe mode.

If you are still unsuccessful, please contact asileFX.
