Quicktime Player opens off center and to large

Hello,
The QuickTime player always opens to large and off center on my screen. I have changed preferences in the options to every setting possible but nothing works. Using Windows 8. My windows 7 machine behaves exactly the same. I am running the Free version of QuickTime. I do video editing so I must have QuickTime in order to do my work. I have many videos with transparency created with the Animation codec. The Windows player cannot play them, if it would I would not need the QuickTime player at all.When I click the fullscreen button at the top right hand corner of the player it corrects itself but I must first slide the player to the left to get access to the button which is offscreen .I should not need to do this. Thanks to anyone that can help. This is a very irritating thing to deal with.

Quick Time Player Opens Off-Center

I use QT 7.7.2 and, when I open videos in the player, the pane is reduced from full screen and off center. To play it I have to drag it to the left to reveal the controls at the top right, then click to go to full screen. I have to do this for every video clip. How can I get the player to open in full screen, please? I am sure it's a simple setting.

I am attempting to open MPEG4 files on my Mac Book Pro and it is saying that the file cannot be opened because a codec is missing. I downloaded both QuickTime Player 7.6.6 and also QuickTime Player MPEG2 and neither one of them are helping with my prob

QuickTime Player open while doing a RAM preview makes the RAM preview stutter

Update: Ooof. Having QuickTime Player open while doing a RAM preview makes the RAM preview stutter. I quit the player, and now the RAM preview plays back without dropping a frame, says it's 24 FPS, but the RAM preview playback is slow: iE, a tenor sounds like a baritone. Trashing cache, restarting, no luck.
system details in my profile.
ug. I just updated to 7/0/1 DL. Hope that didn't make things worse.

HI Tim. In a rendering, tweaking marathon for delivery. Awaiting progress bar now, and will unplug my monitor and thoroughly reinstal after delivery.
Regarding QT player, it is open with a reference movie that is not called upon by After Effects. I have not had a QT in my project since this problem arose a few weeks ago, just PNG sequences and .AIFs.
Multiprocessing is enabled with 4GB ram assigned to each thread, leaving 10 processers avilable for other applications.
I did just see 83% of my 96GB of ram "in use" while AE was divvying up tasks between processors on a failed PNG render. Quit, trashed cache files, and now it's rendering using 6% of RAM.
Happy to start a new thread... what would I call it?
Cheers,

Quicktime player opens about 50 videos and then reports errors

The last time I was using Mountain Lion's QuickTime player, I accidentally selected about 90 files so now if I try and open the player, it wants to open all those files each time. Then it says it can't open them because they are in some format not supported. I have to force quit or else close each file. I tossed out all the QuickTime preference files I could find in the library but that didn't help. I even tried dragging a video to the QT app hoping it would forget the other files but it tried to open them all again as well as that video. Once again, I had to force quit. How can I make QuickTime Player forget all those files and just open up?

This is what happens when you fall into bad habits and fail to "clean up" after yourself before closing the app. You can try opening the QT player and immedialy try holding down the "Option/Alt" key while selecting the "Quit and Close all Windows" File menu option. If the player can "release" the files before being caught in an infinite loop or similar "read to EOF" routine, then you may be able tp "clear" the "re-open" file referencing and prevent having to "force" a quit exit from the app. Otherwise you will have to turn on the "System Preferences/General/Close windows when quitting an application" option and see if that works when forcing an application to quit.

Quicktime window starts off-center

When I start a QuickTime movie, the window is off-center, such that the right and bottom edges are off the screen. So I have to move the window (or double-click the title bar) to see the max, min, and close buttons in the upper-right. This is in Windows 7. Is there a way to get it to open in maximized view or at least where the entire window is visible?

A QuickTime display preference may have blown up for you.
If that's what is afoot, rebuilding the QuickTime preferences can help, although it can be a bit of a trial to track them down on the 64-bit systems.
Close any of the QuickTime Player buttons that are currently in your taskbar.
Now we need to change some view settings on the PC. (The preferences are kept in hidden folders.)
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Click OK.
Next we'll navigate to your AppData folder.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
Open the "Users" folder.
Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
Open the "AppData" folder.
Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
Open the "Roaming" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly
Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "Local" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.

Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "LocalLow" folder.

Photoshop CS4 always opens off center

Everytime I open Photoshop CS4 the center window appears "off center", sometimes waay down and to the right. The menus pop up in the right place but the center comes on messed up. Is there a fix for this?

I take it back, it did work. The PS help led me astray at first but I tried a diff. way to reset prefs and now it works, thanks!

Quicktime Player opens all past viewed videos

As I opened my first video in Quicktime it played fine, then I closed Quicktime Player and opened another video. At that point the new and old videos opened. The more videos I viewed the more that opened. I cannot close individual windows I must close Quicktime to close all windows. I can no longer just open one video.

Here are the Terminal commands:
to disable Resume in Preview and QuickTime Player X:
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false
Quit the apps before you run the commands. Again, swap "true" for "false" to reverse your change.

Quicktime player opens behind browser window

I have have a webpage that has several quicktime movies, each one is linked to another quicktime movie that opens a rtsp stream which is located in a password protected directory (using htaccess).
When a movie is clicked a password dialog box opens, after the username and password are entered the player begins the stream. On mac's, the player opens in front of the browser... on pc's(windows xp), the player opens behind the browser. Does anyone know how to make the player open in front of all windows on a pc?
Here is the html code:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="200" width="128"> <param name="controller" value="false" /> <param name="src" value="####.mov" /> <param name="href" value="#####.mov" /><param name="target" value="QuickTimePlayer" />
<embed src="####.mov" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" controller="false" href="#####.mov" target="QuickTimePlayer" height="200" width="128">
</object>

Okay, good news. Mac OS X hints has the solution for the problem. Just go to: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060130071542683

Quicktime thumbnail is off-center...

I have a couple of pages with a different video on each. The thumbnail for the past couple videos have been centered very low in the Quicktime frame. I haven't done anything with these frames and have just let iWeb pick the still and size it how it sees fit. The video plays fine. I just don't like the look of the thumbnail. Any ideas?

Why won't Quicktime Player open a .mov VR file ?

(I'm on a new MBP, with Yosemite 10.10.2, QT Player v.10.4)
Nothing opens except the app when I double click on a .mov file, the playback controls don't even come up.
This does not happen on all .mov files, but several VR files which were outputted to Quicktime.

I think I figured it out:
The new osx QT (with Mavericks and Yosemiteseems to be the issue (see http://osxdaily.com/2014/07/20/run-quicktime-player-7-in-mac-os-x/)
I downloaded the older Quicktime Player 7 and the files work perfectly

Why the video played in QuickTime Player only audio available and no picture?

Hi dear all, I need to play a video through QuickTime player 7.1.6, however there was only sound and black background shown, no picture. I have tried to play the video with Media Classic Player and it is totally fine.
The following shown the movie info:
Format: H.264 Decoder, 352x288. Millions
ACC, Stereo, 44.100 kHz
Firstly, I thought it is a problem on codec, but I have tried other movies in the same H264 codec, and it worked well.
As I need to import the movie into Cubase, so I must make this able to be played through QuickTime Player.
Appreciate much for the help!

Player version 7.1.6 is a very old version but it should play H264 / AAC videos without issue.
