Solve : CD-R disc files shown as "Shortcut to Video RM" and "Shortcut to Video TS"? |
|
Answer» Hello, It won't open the files, which are listed as shortcuts, which is understandable.Do you mean the files already burned on the CD are shortcuts? What Operating System?I am on Windows Vista. Usually when I put in a CD or DVD, Windows Media Player will play it for me. In this case, a window pops up showing me the drive and the two listed files, the "shortcuts." This CD-R was sent to me by a CLIENT. I am to open the audio or video and transcribe it for them. Unfortunately they want it by Monday, so thank you for being here to help me. KelleIf you put the CD in the computer and then go to My Computer, Right Click the CD Icon and go to Open. What are the files in there and how big are they?The files listed are "Shortcut to Video RM" and "Shortcut to Video TS" both are listed as 273 bytes. I fear they are only shortcuts, not files that can be opened... What happens if you right click the files and go to Properties?

If these are the only files on the CD then your client is a dummy! He or she has managed to transfer to the disc, shortcuts to (obviously video) files rather than the files themselves. if this is the case, you had better contact them and talk them through the correct way to burn the files. When I click on Properties, it shows the target as E:\VIDEO_TS. When I try to click on "General" or "Details" tab of properties, it says "The NAME E:VIDEO TS specified in the target box is not valid. Make SURE the path and FILE name are correct."Mr Dias and I are right. Your client didn't burn the files but the shortcut to the files on his/her computer.Yep, that's what I was afraid of. It's not the first time. But as I said, I am desperate. Thank you for your help. Have a great weekend! |
