10.4.11 or QuickTime or Mail Movie Issue

I've recently started sending short QT movies via Mail. Prior to 10.4.11 the only issue I had was that movies sent from my eMac via Share (the small window/file size option) to an Intel MacBook came in as an empty file. I learned how to Export the file down to a small window and sent that off with success. However, I believe after going from 4.10 to 4.11 something happened. Using Export, when I attached the file to a Mail message the .MOV came in as an extremely small window and duplicated itself slightly askew over the other. I tried trashing the QT preferences -- did not work. Tried installing the 4.11 combo. No luck. I couldn't find a relevant Mail preference and didn't want to trash it because of all the settings that go into it. I also noted that some of the files I reduced for Export did not show up in a desktop folder. When I searched via Spotlight it said the file was there but it was not to be seen. I ended up going into an old iMac on my network which still had 4.10 and all worked fine. What's up? I don't know whether this is a system, Mail, or QT problem to even start to find an answer -- any help appreciated.
Thanks ... MarkD

Wait for what? This tip explains that no one has a crystal ball

Also, if your Mac is G5 or less it is highly unlikely anything new will come out that will make it easier, since 10.6 does not work with it.
Without any specs for Lion, any guess about if the wait is worthbit would be futile.
Is your Mac ready for 10.5 or 10.6?
Are all your applications and drivers ready?
Is your data backed up at least twice?

Quicktime Player play mov issue

Hi
Why Quicktime Player play mov have wave line?and MPlayer play is look fine.

a very old version of Final Cut, Final Cut Express HD 3.0 ... I bought a Nikon D3100 DSLR
The Nikon D3100 records video as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. This is not usable in FCE. You will need to convert the video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec in order to edit the video in FCE. Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the video clips from your D3100. Also, before importing the converted clips into FCE, select one of the FCE Easy Setups that matches how you shot your video ... 1920x1080i60 for example ... create a new sequence and then import the converted clips.
That said, I think you may still run into some issues with such an old version of FCE. FCE 3.0 only supported DV and HDV video, neither of which exactly matches what your D3100 can do. You will be better off upgrading to Final Cut Pro X, the current version of Final Cut.

QuickTime: can't move to a specific point when playing .WMA audio files

I use a lot of .WMA audio files recorded on my Olympus Digital Voice recorder. Since the latest update of QuickTime I cannot move to a specific point in a file. When I click and drag on the diamond cursor it won't move. The only way to move through the file is to play it or 'fast' forward it - which takes ages.

I have the same problem. when playing wma or wmv file, simply just cannot drag the progress bar to a specific position. Just have to progress from the very beginning to the end. Once it has been played to the end, I can move the progress bar. Very weird
I have both flip4Mac and perian installed with the latest version.
Could anybody please help.
cheers

I use Apple Mail and dislike Outlook. If I create a note in Apple Mail, move it to desktop for easy access and then open the note, it opens in Outlook. How do I stop Outlook from opening? Do I need to uninstall Outlook? Will it disrupt other software?

Open Apple Mail, and open Preferences (under Mail in the Menu Bar). On the General tab, check the "Default Email Reader" and set it to Mail (6.6).

Must a QuickTime or Flash Movie act as a MIAW?

I'm hoping to import a quicktime or flash movie with an alpha channel, in hopes that the stage image will not be obscured. This is assuming that a movie can play in on the stage without being framed as a MIAW. Is this possible?
Thanks,
-david

You're not going to get an alpha channel in a QuickTime movie, and if you turn off DTS and try to apply an ink, you'll again be dissatisfied. I'm less sure about Flash movies, but suspect it will depend on how they're imported/played. You certainly have a better chance with Flash.
I am unsure where your MIAW reference has any relevance, but assuming this is what you're asking: yes - a video can play on the stage, it doesn't have to be played in a MIAW.

After quicktime upgrade, old movie won't play smooth

Hi, I had an older verson of quicktime and a movie I had edited in imovie worked and played fine, then I upgraded to quicktime 7.0.1 and now the movie plays unsmooth with pasues and skips. All my other movies that I edited in imovie play fine, but they are not as big. Any ideas on why or what I should do? thanks

The object tag code is used by Internet Explorer and the embed tag is used by all other browsers.
Your page code is missing quote marks around the words true, loop and controller. This may be causing other browsers some trouble.
I tried downloading the file via QuickTime Player's Open URL feature:
http://inthestudioshow.com/media/Inthe_Studio_ep_promomed.mov
The movie is not set to fast start. You can fix this by using QT Pro.
Open the file (the version on your server) and use Save As (save location is your Desktop). Upload this "new" version to your server and replace the "old" one.
Save As will restore the fast start properties in the file.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:
BJReis wrote:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Importing a Quicktime H.264 movie into FCP and DVD SP

Hi,
I am curious why when I import a Quicktime H.264.MOV file into FCP it always makes me render (just the audio) when I place it on the timeline. Also when I try to import it into DVDSP it says that it is an incompatible file.
I know its an odd question, so don't ask me why I am doing it backwards.
Thanks to anyone that can help!
Gary

Hi David,
Thanks for your help. These projects are legal video stuff and I usually pause every hour and a half for about 10 minutes. (so I can put each segment on separate DVDs) I am feeding a video signal into a stand alone DVD writer AND into my Mac (I need to make a redundant recordings in case anything goes wrong). The problem with my stand alone DVD writer is to put in accurate chapter markers is a pain. Also it has a rather bland DVD setup menu which looks poor. So basically I am trying to take a video source from my camera and have it do the compression on the fly. I want to write my DVD in DVDSP because it has a ton of formatting options, and chapter markers are much easier to place.
Basically I am looking for the absolute quickest way to write a DVD without having to bring it into Compressor.
Thanks again for your time!

Windows Vista & ISight - QuickTime Pro/Windows Movie Maker issues

I recently bought a MacBook Pro and I really like, but I am having one small issue that is really confusing me. Basically, I installed Windows Vista using BootCamp and I also installed all BootCamp drivers successfully. This basically allows me to use ISight for some chat applications (e.g. Live Messenger). However, I can't access ISight through QuickTime Pro Windows Movie Maker. Are those not compatible?
If not, what other options do I have? Basically, I am looking for some software to record ISight video for my family. And, yes, I know there is good software on the OSX side which I am already using, but I also would like to have to option to use some video editing software I already own on Windows.
Thanks,
Jens

windtalker64, if it's a .mov you cannot take it into movie maker, it has to be converted to a .avi for movie maker to accept it. I used QT pro to convert a .mov to a .avi, took it into movie maker and it then became a .wmv, which is what I was trying to do. I'm going back 3 years ago when I did this so unless things have changed?

Mail Moves Messages

Hi -
To make a long story short - my house burnt down and I bought a new MacBook Pro running Lion. On my old iMac I used the mail application and so I naturally use it on my new MacBook Pro. I can send and receive message easily but whenever I reply or forward to a message Mail moves it out of the Inbox and to the sent folder. So if I want to go back to the message I have to go into the sent folder. How do I keep them in the inbox and not have them automatically move. On my iMac this never happened (I was running Lion on it too.) Any help is appreciated!
Spencer

I know this doesn't help, but wanted to let you know that this has also been happening on my accounts too. The weird thing is that is it is only happening on one alias of a .Mac mail account, but not on my main POP account. Also, I don't know if the settings are changed by MobileMe, but it's happening in Entourage as well as Mail for the same alias of the .Mac account and on different machines.
Anyone else had this too?

Apple mail moves my emails

I have a geriatric (2003) iMac that still does what I want, but it has recently developed a very irritating habit. I like incoming emails to appear on screen in chronological order of their arrival and to stay that way. Suddenly the machine has taken to shifting recently arrived emails after I have opened them, and relocating them en bloc in the middle of emails received months ago. I'm using It's Apple, version 3.6 (936).

Hello,
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

How do you open a quicktime e-mail attachment on the iphone

How do you open a quicktime e-mail attachment on the iphone

A QuickTime attachment must be in an iPhone compatible format. Not all QuickTime files can be viewed on the iPhone. Look at this app:

QuickTime Pro - preparing movie to go on .Mac so it can be downloaded to PC

I have created a movie using different applications (i.e. iPhoto; GarageBand; iMovie; Quicktime Pro, etc.). I have it posted on my website using iWeb, and I am able to download the movie to my desktop where I can resize it to fill the screen. I would like others to be able to do this on their computers.
When I tried it out on my PC, the triangle on the lower right side of the QuickTime movie wouldn't even open. I have QuickTime Pro installed on both computers. Is there a way to save QuickTime movies to .Mac websites so that others can download them to their desktop no matter what kind of computer they have?

Thanks for the reply.
I will take your answer step by step to make sure I understand. You said:
1. "Saving" a QuickTime movie using the controller is a feature of the Pro upgrade so only Pro owners can save your iWeb files using the controller menus.
My response:
My original question mentioned that on my PC I also have QuickTime Pro and yet I'm not able to activate the controller menu (I'm guessing the downward pointing triangle at the bottom right is called the controller menu - if I'm wrong please let me know). I have also told my friends who want to be able to download the movie, that they have to have QuickTime Pro.
You also stated:
2. Make sure your page layout in iWeb doesn't have some page element "covering" the controller part of the window.
My response:
You are right about that. I've discovered that problem several times. It isn't an issue here, however. I also have tried several different ways to save the movie. First just using a blank page with nothing but the movie on it. Next, using the movie page with nothing but the movie on it. Also using both the .mov format (original QuickTime self-contained movie format), and the .m4v format. It still can't be downloaded to the desktop on my PC.
You added:
3. To allow others to keep a copy of your file merely requires you give them the direct URL to the file. They can then use any Web browser to keep a copy.
You can add this to your iWeb page as a "text based" link.
I'm not sure I understand this last piece of advice. I have the movie on a website I created through .Mac and iWeb. My friends are able to view the movie on my website. Since the width of the movie is determined by the way iWeb is set up, you can only view the movie ON the website in the width you use when you save it to iWeb. I have resized it as large as possible on the page on my website. When you are able to download a movie from a website to the desktop, however, you can resize it or "Present the movie" so it fills up the screen. You also can open it in iTunes and then convert it to play on an iPod if you wish. That is what I would like others to be able to do so long as they have QuickTime Pro.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "They can use any web browser to keep a copy." How does that allow you to download the movie to the desktop?
Thanks again for responding. If you have any thoughts to add, please send them.
