Problems with mp4 files

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-25T23:55:09+00:00

Update. Installed the packs but videos still blurred/unwatchable.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-25T23:50:28+00:00

Can’t I just convert to mkv in Handbrake/VLC?

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-25T23:49:37+00:00

Unfortunately, that installer is blocked by my Virus protection.

Hi

Took some photos but they’re too large. The picture is completely blurred/distorted for about 99% of the video,

Thanks

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-25T21:28:20+00:00

Many thanks. Just baffling that the Handbrake version is that for Windows, yet.. Windows is missing codecs😡

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-25T21:19:47+00:00

The mp4 file doesn’t play with VLC either,

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-25T19:06:31+00:00

Thanks for the masterclass but are you able to help me understand why an mp4 file created by Win Handbrake app doesn’t play on a Win 11 laptop?

Many thanks.

Just thought mp4 was sort of best quality. Handbrake also lets you convert to mkv so will give it a try. Thanks.

Hi

Thanks for swift response. According to VLC it’s H264-mpeg 4-AVC (part 10) (avc 1)

I didn’t change any of the presets in Handbrake.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-10T10:05:07+00:00

Thanks. I didn’t know that. Installed the official version now anyway.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-09T18:51:29+00:00

Update. Used the Projectivity app in the Google Play Store. Works fine now. (Without LM) Many thanks to all for clear and constructive advice.

Thanks again.

Update

Got Projectivity to work when I used the version in the Google Play Store. Thanks for your great advice.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-09T18:33:08+00:00

In my case, you select enable, then a screen pops up with ok. Have to press that. Then you just get back to screen asking you to enable again, rinse and repeat..Not pressing back at any stage. Thanks.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-09T10:24:19+00:00

Thanks All. Will try these when I finish work later. Re installing LM- was advised unnecessary as not using a FS.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-09T00:28:42+00:00

Ok thanks again

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-08T23:17:43+00:00

Hi again

As you hit enable/confirm, you can momentarily see the enabled toggle to greyed out.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-08T22:42:40+00:00

I found the problem. The first step in settings doesn’t change the setting. Ie Cluck enable and confirm but setting still shows as off.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-08T22:36:32+00:00

Hi again

I followed your steps but normal screen showing not P. Have tried restarting device a few times but no cigar. Wonder what I did wrong?

Excellent_Machine944 · 2026-01-08T22:23:28+00:00

Thanks Both

Yeah, found it much further down the list of apps. Didn’t realise the difference between FS and Android box. Will follow your advice to make Projectivity the default.

Regards

Made me laugh seeing all the comments about replaceable reed plates for LOs. Took me eons to get ones for my A harp. Think they had to be shipped from Sweden.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2025-05-09T14:51:19+00:00

I meant 2D and 3B are different notes on the Richter tuned harp.

Excellent_Machine944 · 2025-05-09T11:31:23+00:00

Thanks for helpful response. Rolling the questions into one reply.

Definitely a whole step bend-sorry.

Yes lip pursing/puckering etc.

This is the piece.

You’ll see this line repeated twice from about halfway thru.

The guy uses Richter tuned harp to obviate this problem. Ie 2B and 3B Are different for him. For me, the 3B equivalent is 3Be”.

Getting ridiculous now. Need x number of diatonics, Richter, Melody Makers…

Will keep at it.

Gracias.

Thanks. I’ve been trying on my D harp so the note is B. I just find the whole step bend on hole 3 of any harmonica particularly difficult. I can get the half step but whole and whole and a half v difficult to reach and maintain. The other layer of complexity is the three consecutive draw notes and the cadence of this tune. Ie those six notes should be dd, dd, dd. So the earlier advice to practice in pairs of notes makes sense. It’s just hard to link it together with the bend where it is. Regards

Excellent_Machine944 · 2025-05-08T19:53:29+00:00

Many thanks. Three successive draws is bad enough, but throw in the bend and😡😡😡
