QuickTime is not playing a Torrent Video

I downloaded the first season of The Big Bang Theory and when I tried to play it, a window popped up saying that I needed to download a plug in or more softwate for QuickTime. I don't know which software or plugins I need to download. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?!

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME?!
QT can only play movies supported by the codecs currently installed on your system. It would appear that the movie you downloaded was compressed using a format not supported by your system. The normal approach in a case like this is either use a different, self-contained media player (e.g., VLC) or determine what codec(s) you are missing and install them if they are available for the Mac. (I.e., not all third-party or outdated codecs are supported on the Mac or OS X/Intel based platforms.)

    Sorry for this question. Can you use this device with Vlc or QuickTime? Does skype support it? Is this device supported only by its own software?
    I need a device that can work with my own software. My software can work only with a QuickTime supported device.
    Thanks if you will reply to me.

  • Help major issue, quicktime will not play my HDV movie?

    I have a major problem here.
    I have a movie i shot and edited when I was at university using Final cut pro and HDV cams.
    I need to show this movie on my macbook pro, but I purchased final cut express, and have just found out my Quicktime does not play this file.. the screen is just black?
    I assume I need a HDV 1080i50 codec for quicktime??? is this correct?
    Where can I get it?
    I intend to give a presentation was going to use OpenOffice or use my Quicktime just for moving image
    Any suggestions?
    Regards

    You were given a video that can only play in Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Express doesn't have that codec.
    You going to have to go back to whom ever gave you that video and have them export the video to a codec that either Final Cut Express can play or a codec that Quicktime can play.The later would be better because, if a video can play in Quicktime it can play in Final Cut Express.

    My ipad2 will not play my itunes videos that i just purchased; I've deleted and reloaded them twice, but still won't play; plays music only, any suggestions?

    You are playing them in the Videos app correct? Music Videos will play the video in the videos app, not in the Music app.

    Hi...I have the OS X v10.6.8 but my QuickTime is not playing .mov files. How can I fix this?
    Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.

  • HT1349 My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

    My iPad will not play music or videos in iTunes or my music app what do I need to do to fix this?

    Music plays in the Music app - not iTunes. Videos play in the Videos App - not in the Music App. Is that what you are doing? If you are using the correct apps for the appropriate content - quit the apps and restart.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    I've restarted my iPad, there are no available updates that I am aware of.

    Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Quicktime problems - not playing videos.

    Every video file I view on QT looks like this:
    http://usera.imagecave.com/mervingiblet/Slide1.JPG
    It happened when I updated it a few weeks ago. Now I cant get rid of the problem. I tried uninstall and reload but to no avail.
    The sound plays but no video....
    Any ideas?

    What's really puzzling is that while playback of video podcasts is appallingly sluggish within iTunes (v7.3.2.6), if I browse to the relevant .m4v files and play them back in QuickTime or Media Player Classic they are as smooth as silk.
    All of which suggests the problem is nothing to do with codecs, or DirectX, or HDD access speeds or any of the other things Apple is bandying about, but is simply due to processor overheads within iTunes itself.
    iTunes has always been a bit of a resource hog and the problems that can cause have manifested themselves in various ways over the years, but I'm amazed Apple don't seem to be addressing these issues especially now that it involves visual media that customers have actually paid for. When people start talking of voting with their cash surely something needs to be done?
    Even more stunning is the fact that many Mac users seem to be suffering similar -- if not necessarily related -- problems with iTunes. For ages I put the problems with Windows iTunes down to Apple programmers' lack of experience with PC architecture, but these days I'm not too sure.

  • Quicktime will not play any video files

    When trying to play any compatible video files .mov, .mp4 etc... all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen. The computer is not frozen I can close the window with the red x. I can open Quicktime and the web stuff opens but opening a video file on the computer causes this. I confirmed the latest version of Quicktime in installed and I have confirmed the video files I'm trying to play work on another computer and the .mp4 file plays in media player on this computer. The video card driver is up to date. I want to play my .mov files from my iphone but can't.

    all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen.
    Curious ... I wonder if this is a blown-out display preference?
    Could you check something for me please? Create a new user account on the PC with full sdminidtrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. Try playing a file in the new account. Does it display properly?
    If it works okay in the new account, let's try to get things working in the normal account again with the instructions from the following thread:

  • Quicktime 7 not playing videos from Itunes...

    So recently I noticed my Quicktime 7 has been acting strange. It used to play all my videos flawlessly... it still does, although i've noticed movies bought from the itunes store wont play anymore. When I try to open the file on QT 7 I get the black screen but then It exits out and I get the "Quicktime 7 Has Quit Unexpectedly" and I get the Kern_Protection_Failure log ( whatever that is) It's weird, before every file i tried worked perfectly, but now I cant get them to play.... Is There any fix to this or has Quicktime 7 completely stopped supporting movies/videos from Itunes? ******Oh, by the way They DO however play in Quicktime X****** I''m running 2009 macbook pro 13-inch OSX 10.6.8 and All software is up to date. It's getting frustrating. I've looked all over but no luck. Any Help Would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Quicktime.mov not playing back from website

    iWeb 3.0.4
    I downloaded three .MOV to my site. One is playing back ok, the other two are only displaying the QuickTime symbol. I did empty the browser cache, but to no avail. Did check with server and the .MOV files are in the html folder, but not playing back. I also re-uploaded the questionable .MOV files, but it still does not let me open the files on my site. site name : bodoholst.com
    thanks in advance

    All three movies play OK for me.
    The pages are slow to load as this method of adding them to the pages requires the movie file to download with the web page.
    If you are happy to depend on viewers having the QuickTime plugin, this is a better way...

    So that everyone can see your movies you really need to have flash fallback since there's still a lot of people around who don't have the QT plugin installed...

  • Quicktime 10 not playing RECENT iTunes m4v files

    Hello All,
    I purchase a lot of movies and TV from iTunes. I always watch them with Quicktime.
    After upgrading to iTunes 10.1 on my Mac Pro Nov 17, Quicktime 10 stopped playing RECENT iTunes purchases. No movies downloaded since mid September will play. There is no audio; the window is black; play mode lasts a couple of seconds and then stops. Older ones play normally.
    Anyone able to confirm this on your systems?
    Big thanks, Brett

    Hi.
    I have the same problem. After several e-mails back and forth between me and iTunes Store Support I'm still where I started out with this problem. I was asked to reinstall iTunes as well, and I did. No change at all.
    I have the latest iTunes and Quicktime installed. I like to save the video files like movies, tv show episodes and digital copies on my external hard drive and delete some of them from my itunes/mac to free up some space. I just play the files from my hard drive on Quicktime, so I won't have to import them into iTunes again.
    However, I've noticed that any video file downloaded from iTunes after November 1st won't play in Quicktime. The tv show episodes I downloaded prior to Nov 1st play just fine, but if they were downloaded after Nov 1st, no matter what date they were originally released on, as long as I downloaded them after Nov 1st 2010, they won't play in Quicktime. Black screen, no sound.
    This is really annoying as I buy lots of Blu-ray movies, and some of them comes with Digital Copies. I have several season passes too, and the latest episodes won't open in Quicktime either. I've tried everything I can think of, everything the people working with iTunes Store Support told me to do and still nothing.
    If anyone finds a way to fix this, please let me know. I would be very grateful for any help fixing this problem.
    I'm kinda glad I'm not the only person with this problem. That proves there's something wrong with iTunes, the OS, Quicktime or something else, probably Apple related. On the other side, I'm sorry you guys are having this really annoying problem too.
    Sincerely,
    gleek2009
    edit: Btw, I just wanted to say that all those video files purchased/downloaded after Nov 1st still play fine in iTunes, just not in Quicktime. If that makes any difference.

  • Embedded QuickTime files not playing sound

    Is this a Yosemite issue? Not being able to play older QuickTime 7 files properly? I'm not sure what else the issue could be since everything seems to work fine in 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 (unfortunately, I have been unable to test this in 10.10 or 10.10.1). Maybe I'm overcomplicating a simple issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Some very interesting observations which peaked my own curiosity due to on-again, off-again nature of the playback. I suspect this is either a "bug" or represents content handling changes that are currently in the process of  "evolving." Not a web site programmer so I used iWeb to run some contrast-comparison tests on how audio was handled by the plug-in software when directly accessing the content by its URL and via the page embed strategies. My results mirrored yours in that:
    1) All legacy codecs tested (A-Law, IMA, QDM2, QPV, and u-Law) in an MOV file container played correctly in the QT 7 player.
    2) The same files all played correctly when content was accessed by the plug-in software directly using the URL reference.
    3) None of the files containing legacy audio compression formats would play audio using the plug-in software using a web page embedding strategy.
    4) An MP4 (H.264/AAC) version of you original clip played correctly in all instances.
    5) Replacing your QDM2 audio track with an AAC audio track in the original MOV file allowed the file to play correctly in all instances.
    Based on these observations, I suspect the problem is in the way the software is currently programmed to handle (or rather ignore) the embedded strategy content. However, as you indicated, it is probably time to update your files. Not only did the H.264/AAC version of your original file play in all instances, but it used less than 45% of the file space/bandwidth for the settings I employed as compared to your original "0706_split_brain_red.mov" original file.
