I'm using a screen recorder that saves direct to mp4 video for small file size, I just want to see if any one has trouble playing them.

BB_RC_VST.mp4

BB_RC_VST2.mp4

What OS you are using, any feedback would be appreciated.

Using Windows 7 Ultimate.

BB_RC_VST.mp4 didn't open properly with Windows Media Player. It tried to open as Audio only. Jumpy audio playback only.

It did open though with VLC Media Player.


The second file (BB_RC_VST2.mp4) opened with both Windows Media Player and VLC Media Player.

Well, it's useless, it is better to try eg. A program in which video makes itself PG Music. I think SnagIt program, see: https://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html

No problem playing the clips but clicking the link took me to Mediafire download screen which downloaded not only the clips but also advertising screens (first clip was a gambling site, second had a Roblox screen advert attached).
OK downloading the files and they played OK but apprehensive about the attached advertising.
Using Windows 7 64bit.

Mediafire is not a place I will download anything from. You can't guarentee that they haven't added a payload to your files either unless you create a fingerprint ahead of time.

Someplace like Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. is much better.

Yes, please use another source for the links. That was a pretty ugly experience.
I chose not to download .. and I hope nothing did before I closed out!

just didn't feel right. New FF windows started launching (not tabs, windows), and pretty soon I was looking for windows to close much more than seeking a download..

Edit:
FTR Pipeline has posted many good links here, maybe why I got to where I didn't use my usual 'hover first and see the destination of the link' habit I normally use. I wouldn't avoid his other posts because of this. He may not have the same experience as others do using Mediafire.

Thanks to those who actually tried PLAYING the videos, the main problem is the SRecorder uses MP4 video codec but MP3 audio, whereas the second one uses AAC as the audio codec.

But to the others that let fear get the best of them without understanding, well I can't help you there. Mediafire uses adds to pay for a free service same as youtube (get AdBlock !), if you can't workout out what to click you should download NetNanny or get someone to hold your hand.

All I know is I go out of my way to help others here, and I ask for some help but it's so hard to get because of irrational fears and panic attacks "You can't guarentee that they haven't added a payload" yes they edit the mp4 video and insert p#rn into it, very frighting stuff.
I don't know why I bother to tell you the truth.
I told the truth said it needs re-programing from the old Delphi and get attacked. It takes years to realized that a request from 10 years ago is a good ides http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=5533#Post5533

Sorry it's way too draining, I think I will give up on this forum and move on where others have ears that work, no wonder it's stuck in the past, it's like watching Brendan Fraser all over again.

Dude, if this reply was to me (as indicated) I intentionally edited to say you have posted many great things before.
I don't want this one post to change that.
I was on a system where (unrequested) things happened when I clicked the links that I didn't like, and asked you to use your previous methods for links (where this stuff didn't happen).
Apparently I'm not alone in these results.
I clicked nothing but your link when it happened. I hadn't wrongly clicked some ad in the resulting page.

I didn't want this post to pollute the value of your contributions here. I was just trying to help. So many of your other links didn't do this.

I'm fully aware of Adblock, and TBH the NetNanny comment was taken as kind of an insult.

Not trying to cause any issues.
Sorry if I did. I value your posts.

I tried them with Windows 10 and had a similar experience to the others...first one audio only but with audio playing at hyper-speed (Windows media player).

Second file was fine.

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
