Quicktime having trouble playing animated movies

I have a few movies I downloaded from DC++ that I want to play, but quicktime says it's unable to play them because it's missing software. I have the newest update of QT, and the movies I have trouble playing are only animated ones, such as corpse bride, team america, and final fantasy. Whats up?

If QuickTime can open the files then go to the Window menu and select Show Movie Info to see the Format: for information on what animation codec may have been used, then try to find a suitable QuickTime component for playback... the link below may help with that.

  • Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased?  I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

    Is anyone having trouble playing movies they purchased?  I have no issue watching netflix or previews but I can't watch what I already purchased.

    A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
    Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
    Also check your payment details, make sure your details are exactly how they appear on your credit card statement, you might also try changing some of those details, saving them and changing them back again.
    You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
    Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
    At this point in time, I’m wondering if this could be related to (but not restricted to) the new feature that allows others to come into your home and use your Apple TV to download and play their content on your Apple TV without logging into their account on your Apple TV. The Terms of Use for iTunes Store content have always been to require you to only purchase and play the content from the store in the location where you live and to use a credit card registered in that location. Previously Apple seem to have been somewhat lenient on enforcing such restrictions, perhaps now they are not. However I don’t really have any evidence to support this suggestion, except that changes made to accounts in these areas do appear to be helping many.
    If you are successful in resolving your problem, perhaps you would let us know exactly which action resolved the problem for you. If you are having this problem to begin with, can you also tell us your location.

  • I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    I have an older Sony digital camcorder, and I am having trouble importing the movie files. Sometimes I get the audio in iTunes without the picture. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle interface. What am I doing wrong. Is there a way to skip the dazzle device?

    Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
    Keep copies of the originals.
    Another option might be to try to install Perian.  Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

  • HT5731 I just downloaded a star trek episode, "The Gamesters of Triskelion" but I am having trouble playing it on my computer...what do I need to do???

    I just downloaded a TV episode from the iTunes Store, but so far am having trouble playing the full episode. (It only plays the :20 "preview")...what am I doing wrong???

    How are you trying to play it ? The full episode should have downloaded into the TV Shows part of your iTunes library - is that where you are trying to play it from ?

  • Blackberry having trouble playing youtube videos

    I own a blackberry curve 8530 and its having trouble playing youtube videos. It plays youtube videos up to 59 seconds and then it stops. It gives me the same error message saying:
    "An error has occured attempting to play the media".
    I have tried turning on and off my phone, pressing alt+enter+del, and doing the battery pull. None of those methods have worked.
    Has anyone had this problem, and if so, how did you fix it? Ive pretty much have tried everything i could think of and none of the forums seems to have a solution.
    Is the phone the problem or is youtube?
    If you know of the solution, your help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello hashbrown602,
    The following post by Cory from the Inside BlackBerry Help Blog outlines a few steps you can try to successfully play videos from YouTube.

    If you still have issues after going through each of the steps, you may want to contact your wireless service provider to check your data plan settings.

  • Quicktime won't play my .mov files since I upgraded to Mavericks.

    Quicktime won't play my .mov files, even those from an iPhone, since I installed Mavericks.  "Tell Me More" doesn't tell me anything about a solution.  Any suggestions?

    What do I do?
    Frankly, if you have deleted the original movie clips from your camera/camcorder and iPhoto, then it sounds as if you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle and there is nothing further that you can do.
    Some facts:
    For some reason, the movieclips are awful small (13-30 KB).
    640 x 480
    Codecs: H.264, AAC
    While these facts are of little value without file duration information, as you yourself have already noted, the file sizes quoted are extremely small. A typical VGA H.264/AAC file of reasonable quality would normally have a combined total data rate in the 700 to 1,700 Kbps range depending on specific settings, profile, and level of the encoding software and could be even higher or lower depending on the quality levels required. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that files in the 13 to 30 KB range only contain 104 to 240 Kbs and either have durations measured in fractions of seconds or do not actually contain enough data to be played. (E.g., the video data may be missing or the file is corrupted.) Thus, it is most likely that something was wrong with the workflow used to "export" your files to the external drive and when you ignored the fact that the files were not playing correctly, you closed the door on anything that you could do when you deleted the source files. (I.e., the normal workflow here is to copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive, switch libraries, confirm the new library is working properly and only then delete the boot drive copy of the iPhoto library.)
    OBS: When I try to convert the files into something else (AVI, MP4 whatever) either it comes with an error, nothing happens or the converted file wont open. This happens with various convert-programs.
    If the data in the files is missing, then there is nothing to be converted by any application.

  • HT1577 I am having trouble downloading rented movies.

    Help $$$ going down the drain.
    I am having trouble downloading rented movies. It tells me it is going to take 150 hours to download a 1gig movie. I am using a macbook pro. My internet is hight speed broadband and is working fine. Any ideas how to fix this problem? this has happened twice now.
    Cheers

    I am using a new Apple TV streaming box. I cannot seem to get any itunes movies to completely download. If they do completely download, it often takes a day or more. Even when the download is apparently completed, ATV will often re-authorize the movie purchase...and the download process begins again. That is about the time I send emails and get refunds. NETFLIZ works beaitifully - fast, easy to use, NEVER a problem. I use a MAC, iPad too but have not synced either with ATV.
    Am I doing something wrong? This is incredibly frustrating for my family!!!!

  • Im having trouble playing games, dvds and youtube videos. any help?

    Im having trouble playing CD games on my Mac. They open and then close right away everything i need is downloaded. I have trouble watching some YouTube videos. Some play and then the others either go in slow motion or dont play at all. I also am having trouble playing DVDs. the DVD play opens then says that "a valid video device could not be found for playback". If anyone can help me out that wpuld be great.

    For server issues try using OpenDNS servers. System Preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS.
    Click on the + in the left column and insert the following:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220
    Click OK, then click Apply

    Actually 10.8.3 is snappier than before. Even Safari (updated). Boot to your ML recovery disk and run Repair Disk from Disk Utility.

  • Having trouble importing a movie clip in iM9

    I am having trouble getting a video clip I made into iMovie 9.
    I recorded this video clip on my Android cellphone.   When I uploaded it into my computer, it came up on my desktop with the tag .mp4.  I found that I could not select it for importing into iMovie, and suspected that iMovie doesn't like the .mp4 tag.  So I opened up QuickTime and converted the clip into a movie with the .mov tag.  The new converted movie's thumnail correctly showed up on my desktop. 
    I then opened up iMovie and opened up my project, complete with the Event Library open.  I did File>Import>Movies and choose my clip.   I got the normal visual and aural indications of a successful import, but the clip did not show up in my project.  In fact it did not show up anywhere in iMovie.  
    I'm wondering what I need to to do find this clip or at least do something else so that I can put it into my project.   Thanks!

    More info:  I pulled up Finder>Movies>iMovie Events>My Project>iMovie Cache> and my clip was there in fine fettle. 
    But I still can't find a way to get it to appear in my project's Event Library, which is what it should do, once I've imported it.  (I believe.)

  • Idvd having trouble with QT movie

    Hi everybody,
    So I've exported my FCP 6 project using : Quicktime movie
    Setting: Current Settings
    Include: Audio & Video
    Make movie self contained is checked
    It plays fine in QT, there is plenty of space on my G5, but idvd for some reason is playing the movie all jerky. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help!
    Sue

    Suggestion: Try again but this time uncheck self-contained to see if this helps.
    Quick question ... What is the source of your original video?
    Open the file/s within QuickTime Player and do a WINDOW > SHOW MOVIE INSPECTOR
    Tell us what video and audio formats are shown.
