Playing fullscreen QT movies in Leopard causes dock to appear in movie...

Strange bug...
If I play a movie in full screen in quicktime, after about 10 minutes the dock will mysteriously appear at the bottom. It's like I moved the mouse to the bottom of the screen -- but I didn't.
The only thing I can think is that the mosaic screensaver kicks on after 10 minutes, but somehow causes the dock to appear during the play of a Quicktime movie.
Any one else have this problem in Leopard?

Same problem on newly installed Leopard - affects QT and is persistent. Never happened under Tiger so assume its a bug introduced as part of the OS upgrade. Annoyingly there is no way to let Apple know they have another bug to fix (aside from the kernel panics Leopard likes to go into...).
If anyone finds what's causing this before Apple get round to issuing a SW update please post.
Many thanks!

  • I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

  • TS1702 Iphone 4s io6.1 no audio when playing music and movies

    Iphone 4s io6.1 no audio when playing music and movies?

    Clean the dock connector and headphone jack.  Lint or debris in either of this could cause this issue.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I upgraded some things and Quicktime stopped playing MPEG-2 movies (black screen)!

    I upgraded some things and Quicktime stopped playing MPEG-2 movies (black screen)!
    I need help, I was ending a project and now it just plays black!
    I have quicktime X.
    HELP! PLEASE!
    thank you.

    Quicktime was working fine, I am not sure what Quicktime it was. I upgraded Java, I am not sure if I upgraded Quicktime. After that all quicktime movies with "MPEG-2 Video, Linear PCM, Timecode" codecs started playing black with audio in the background. iMovie was not used. Thank you, I am beyond desperate and I am starting to think no one can help me with this.
    Then I am not sure how your created the MPEG-2/PCM MOV files. Files not imported via the MPEG-2 Import codec would normall remain in their long GOP compression format which it not edit compatible in QT based video editors. Those that are imported via the codec to make them edit-compatible then need the codec for proper playback in QT based players/editors.
    Since you now say that "Quicktime is working fine," am I to assume that it is After Effects that is playing "black" screen videos and that the files play fine in the QT players? Since you also mention the files are time coded, am I to assume you used FCP or some other app to import the files (which may use the same sort of import workflow) or am I to assume it is the timecode data itself that you feel is now causing the problem. In either case, a Java update may have been a security update that is now causing your current issue by disallowing access to the required playback component for some unknown reason which Apple is unlikely to divulge if it refers to a software security risk.
    If problem is general on your system, then do you have a short sample file that you can upload for testing purposes on my Snow Leopard system? At the very least, this may confirm if the problem is general to all updated platforms or local to your individual system and/or user account.

  • ITunes 9, no way to play fullscreen video in 2nd monitor?

    In iTunes 8, videos would play fullscreen in whatever monitor the iTunes application window was opened to. In iTunes 9 this doesn't seem to matter, it's only playing in the Main monitor (monitor with menu bar).
    There's a script here:
    http://theappleblog.com/2009/07/29/workaround-itunes-video-and-dual-screens/
    That sends videos out to QuickTime which has preferences which allow you to select what monitor to play full screen videos on, but I'd really like this back in iTunes...
    Any ideas out there?

    I found a little bit or a work around... you can go into preferences under the "Playback" tab and select "Play Movies and TV Shows: in a separate window" and it will play full screen in the monitor you have it on. You can also right/control click (or "view" menu) and select fit to screen to get a near full screen experience while being able to work on the other monitor.
    You are mistaken. You can only use fit to screen. Even so, your work around is a colossal waste of time as you could simply drag the video to the other screen much much quicker than opening the preferences and making that change.

  • I have backed up my lap top including itunes to an external hard drive, everything is on the external device, but I can't play my purchased movies from it?

    I have backed up my lap top including itunes to an external hard drive, everything is on the external device, but I can't play my purchased movies from it?

    Why can't the media be played?  Any errors?
    Was it actually backed up to the External drive or moved to the external drive?  Sounds more like the latter which could potentially cause issues depend on how it was moved.

    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

  • Missing Audio When I Play The Whole Movie, But Still in Clip

    I am working on a project in iMovie. I adjusted the audio for all of the clips and it played perfectly. I added a clip, and now if I play the whole movie, the audio of the following clip does not play. If I start playing at that troublesome clip, the audio is still there. Very weird issue.
    I have checked the levels of all clips and all seems normal. I tried restarting iMovie, my computer, repairing permissions, reseting PRAM, emptied the cache. Nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas?
    I should also note that the clip before the one without audio is in slow-motion. If I take the slow-motion off, the audio works fine. Maybe just a bug? Anyone know a way to solve the problem instead of just a work-around?
    Message was edited by: newmanjg

    Make sure that the slow motion is set to a preset value like 25%, 50%. There are tic marks on the slider for the pre-sets. If you use a custom percentage ike 37%, it messes up the audio.

  • I played a rented movie in my newly bought ATV, but when i wanted to watch a TV Series i got the "Authorization is Required" !! although i have successfully played a rented movie at first !! and when checking into iTunes i couldnt find the ATV??

    I played a rented movie in my newly bought ATV, but when i wanted to watch a TV Series i got the "Authorization is Required" !! although i have successfully played a rented movie at first !! and when checking into iTunes i couldnt find the ATV??

    The ATV2 or ATV3 (small black boxes) don't show up as devices in iTunes. If iTunes and the ATV's have Home sharing turned on for the same account - and are on the same network, the ATV should show up as an AirPlay target device in iTunes.
    The rented movie - was this rented on the ATV or in iTunes?
    The TV series - where are you trying to play this from? Is it in iTunes or via the 'TV Shows' menu in ATV... i.e streaming from iCloud?

    I'm using Macbook Pro Version 10.10.3
    I'm trying to play an .AVI movie I downloaded and can't get it to open. I saw a solution online named VLC, but am not sure if I should trust it. The other question is if I did use it would it interfere with normal QuickTime usage?

    No, it won't.
    An .avi doesn't tell the full story. .avi, .mpg, .wav, .mp3, ...etc. are just wrappers. The content is encoded with a Codec. The codec that encodes the media is the part that matters wrt whether it will play natively.
    VLC will decode a multitude of codecs.
