10.6, new quicktime and blank video

I have a Samsung SC-MX20 digital video camera, in records h.264 format files. Worked fine in quicktime 7 (and still works fine with version 7 after install of 10.6) but when I play the files out of the camera in the new 10.6 quicktime player, the video is blank, have a black screen. Audio works but no picture.
Why would this be?
Thanks
Rick

Ok, just tried on my imac, 10.6.2 (same as my macbook) and the mp4 videos play fine in the quicktime 10.0 player but don't play on my macbook.
Anyone?

I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips?

I am trying to play an mp4 in quicktime and the video and audio does not sync. Any tips? This is not hack/ripped video but a legit home movie.

In this case, it looks like Quicktime wasn't very efficient in managing memory, leading to a slowdown in playback. If QT has a lag and VLC doesn't, that's more evidence.
I couldn't say why your friend's windows computer plays the media fine, while your Mac doesn't. The only thing I could suggest is to disable QT streaming video - which has been known to slow down performance.

New iTunes 6.02 AND new QuickTIme 7.04 Video Sound Problems

Hi, I had updated my iTunes for Windows 6.01 and Quick Time 7.03 to the newest versions. The new software both yield the same issue for me. They will not play videos with sound properly. When I am on Quick Time and click to play a *.mov that I have had way before iTunes or iPod, and any other playable movies in Quick Time, the video starts, there is no sound for a few seconds and then this clicking sound starts. For instance if I had a movie that is abour 20 seconds long, it will never get the synced sound with it. Let's say the first sentence would be Hi, how are you today-----------------it sounds like this: Huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-how-how-how-how-how-how-how-how-how -how-how-how-how-how-how-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-er-e r-u-u-u-u-u-uu--u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u-u--u-u-u. I think you get the point. If this is a video with just sound and no spoken word in the video, it also sounds chopy, clicky, and vibrating like that and over the course of 20 seconds plays this out like this, when is should be the correct maybe 3 second part.
This also is the same exact thing that happens in the new iTunes. Exactly. Whether it is downloaded from the iTunes Store or imported in, or even converted with the new convert to iPod option.
The only good thing is when I put the 4 new movies on my iPod that I had converted form *.mov format with the new convert to iPod option, they play just fine on the the iPod which has the software version 1.0 software on it, not the newest firmware. But as I said nothing plays correctly soundwise from videos from the iTunes Software.
I tried uninstalling both new versions and reinstalling them with the same problem. I therefore uninstalled them again and installed iTunes 6.01 back on my computer and thus QuickTime 7.03 and there are no problems at all with either older version of iTunes or QuickTime.
Please advise. It this a diagnosed problem as of yet???

IOS 6: Upgraded 4s to the new OS and now videos within apps like Pulse and Safari have no sound. Checked notifications and options, restarted phone, still no go...

I upgraded to iOS6 last week, and everything seems to be working well, except for audio playback within certain apps. I was wondering if this is in any way linked to the removal of youTube from the standard software. Within my news apps and Safari, I have absolutely no audio playback on videos. I have refreshed the 4S, restarted, and checked notifications, but no progress has been made. However, the sound is just fine elsewhere, including the youTube app, which I downloaded to troubleshoot. As of right now, if I search for a video within Safari, and it links to an embedded video, I get no sound whatsoever. If I pull up the same video within the youTube app, the sound plays just fine. Any ideas?

HP 932 XL - new ink and blank pages

My problem is quite complex - I am a new user of HP 6700. I bought the printer second-handed - it was relatively new though - only 700 pages printed. There were almost used setup inks inside. I printed a test page and it was alright. I figured that everything was OK with the printer and ordered original HP 932 XL.
When I got it, one thing had disturbed me - when I opened the box I noticed that the cartridge wasn't protected with anything - no safety plastic, no stickers, nothing. My first question - is that usual with the 932 ink? My previous printer was HP 3070 and the cartridges were always secured with safety plastic.
After installing the cartridge, it was recognized as original and full, but when I wanted to print something - blank pages. I've tried printhead cleaning several times and sometimes on those test pages something black had appeared but it was unreadable.
Then I again installed the almost used setup ink and it printed yet another page with the proper quality. Then again I installed the "new" ink, and nothing. I used almost a third of the new ink for printhead cleaning and still nothing.
So I wonder - is that a problem with the new cartridge or may that be a problem with the second-hand printer that I bought?

Hi @pablo12000,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I am sorry to hear that your new HP 6700 is printing blank pages with your new ink cartridges, but I am happy to help!
I would recommend going through this guide, Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-....
If that does not resolve the issue, and the printer prints fine with the setup cartridges and not the new ones, then it is mostly likely an issue with the new cartridges. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836 for options for replacing the ink. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

Hope this clears things up for you, and have a great day!

Quicktime (and iTunes) Videos Blank

Since I updated iTunes and Quicktime, playback of all videos in them is now white, with a few dots of colour and just audio playing through.
Is there a solution to this yet?
Thanks - Dan.

Perhaps QT can no longer find the video codecs it needs to play the files. If you had previously installed codecs, you might try re-installing them.

New Keynote and Music Videos

I recorded a friend using Logic Pro, and then after bouncing the song to mp3, I added it to a Keynote slide (the new Keynote that came with Mavericks). After that, I added a video and matched up the audio and video. In order for me to upload this video on youtube, the keynote file would have to be in a quicktime format, so I exported it to quicktime. All was fine and good until I opened the quicktime video and it was only 8 seconds long, and the audio and video were all out of wack. I tried and tried again, but to no avail. Suggestions?
Cheers

You've hit upon the solution -- create two presentations, one with the first part of the presentation without music, and the other with the second, musical half. On the last slide of the first half, create a hyperlink to the second presentation.
(See this thread for a bit more detail on this issue.)

New Quicktime and Timelapse?

Hi there!
I am missing the feature to create timelapse videos out of image sequences in the latest quicktime pro version.
Was this feature moved to a new software or is it gone?
How can i create my timelapse videos now with apple products?

Are you sure you are using QT Player 7 "Pro" here? The feature is where it has always been. If you are referring to QT Player X.1, then is cannot be keyed for "Pro" use and does not have the "Open Image Sequence..." File menu option.
How can i create my timelapse videos now with apple products?
Download and install the QT Player 7 app for Snow Leopard and Lion (see instructions and download link here).

Ipod touch - Quicktime and streaming video

When trying to view streaming video on the I touch (from CNN or ABC news for example) the Quicktime application opens but no video plays; I do get audio however. I am running I tunes 7.7.1 and software ver. 2.0.2. Is there some setting that I need to change, or do I need to download an application? Is it also possible that the wi-fi connection isn't strong enough to play the video? I've discounted that since I can play video from some other sites such as TMZ.com
Thank you

Install Flip4Mac, repair permissions & then restart.

QuickTime and iTunes video playing fullscreen on external monitor automatic

Hello, on my Toshiba laptop with nVidia video card, I have an external monitor hooked up to the laptop. Every time I go to play video from QuickTime or iTunes, it plays the video at full screen size on the external monitor while also playing in the normal small window of QuickTime or iTunes on the main (laptop) LCD. I don't have the QuickTime Pro key installed on this machine, nor have I somehow selected to play videos at full screen. It does this whether I want to do it or not, which is quite annoying as the full screen version is usually flickering to boot.
Help please. I've looked in the QuickTime Control Panel and don't see anything that would cause this problem, nor in iTunes.
Cheers, Andrew.

A couple of things you might want to try. Open the QT Player settings, not to be confused with the QT Control panel. There should be settings in there for monitors and dual monitors I believe.
For the flickering, open the Display control panel>Settings>Advanced>Monitor. Listed under Monitor settings-Screen refresh rate: try changing the setting to 85 Hertz.

Please help or I jump of the roof because of new itunes and 30gb video ipod

HI,
I really need help or the headaches this ... ipod (you know what I was going to say so) anyways, I have this nice 30gig ipod video and was really happy with it until today. I tried to upload some new songs on it with the new itunes 7.0 and it gave me the msg "itunes has detected a ipod that is in recovery mode." or something like that, well it told me to restore the ipod. I did that cause I had my files still on the computer. then I waited for the apple logo on the ipod, worked fine. then when it was finished itunes had the same msg again, you need to restore the ipod. After like five times doing that I stopped and thought maybe the new itunes wasn't good so I installed the older 6.0.5 version, but nothing happened it didn't recognize the ipod.I tried to reset it, to restore it with the updater and that made it even worse. I think I started the updater and then the computer restarted in the middle of the restoration.
Now the ipod keeps resetting it and I can't do anything. I tried to let it drain the battery but that didn't help, the pc isn't recognizing it at all.
Now, could someone tell me what the best thing is I could do instead of hitting the **** thing with a hammer?
I am really frustrated and the support page didn't really help nor did I find any telephone number from apple so I hope that at least someone here can help me get my ipod back to work.
Otherwise I really have to hit it with a hammer. Is there the possiblity taht if I take out the battery, that it stops and resets normally and can be used again? If so, could then someone tell me how I do that?
I hope somebody will find the time to help me.
I thank everybody that might have anything to say to this problem in advance
sincerely

5th gen ipod Windows XP 30gb harddrive

I feel your pain... I'm having a problem with downloading and installing new software form my 30gb IPod. ITunes 7.01, which I installed on my new computer, will not allow the updated software for the IPod to install or update the IPod. My IPod disappears from the ITunes playlist column as soon as I try to update the software. Apple has a problem with the IPod software update that they have not yet found a solution for. I am unable to update my IPod with a movie that I purchased. I can play it on ITunes, but it will not show up on my IPod. I also lost some other videos that I already had. I'm just waiting for the "Fix" so that I can update.
Dell Dimension 3100 Windows XP

I exported a project to QuickTime and the video quality is a bit shimmery, and grainy.

Did I do too much color correcting (too much saturation)? Or might it have something to do with the Broadcast filter? Or might it have something to do with what CODEC I used? I'm stumped.

What is the format/codec of the clips you are using? That would help us figure out what easy setup would best match.
Also, don't copy/paste the old sequence into the new sequence. Select all the clips in the old sequence and copy/paste them into the new sequence. (There is a difference.)
If you have 1280x720 clips, then it would appear you shot 720p video. The corresponding easy setup would be HDV Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 (North America) or 720p25 (Europe).

New Air, New iLife and Consumer video cameras

Most consumer video cameras use Firewire... the new Air doesn't have this, but the new iLife (which includes iMovie) is one of the big features Apple are pushing with it.
Whats going on here then? How do they expect people to ingest their rushes??

most cameras within the last few years should support USB - firewire was more for DV, DVCAM, DVCPRO if i remember correctly. they're aging formats now and things rapidly moving to HD and those cams afaik should support USB - from consumer to professional
my sony ex3 supports both USB, Firewire & SD - firewire only for DVCPRO i think (don't really use that)
i'm in a similar boat though with audio as my entire studio is firewire based from audio converters to external DSP, etc...
just bought 11inch for on the road audio/video editing and may have to buy a USB audio capture device but YA - these are super mobile devices

New Quicktime and itunes crashes IE6 constantly

I get a plug in error
Also the "error occurred" window from IE6.
This crashes IE6 everytime my PC tries to use QT 7.
Now just trying to go to Apple.com home page, that commercial video crashes IE6 before I even finish loading the page! This is worse than the white screen with sound I used to get.
I get an itunes.exe error everytime I try to run a preview of an igame off itunes store.
I wanted to load the latest software to get rid of the "white" screen I get whenever i try to watch anything on Apple.com; also I just ordered an ipod.
But I'm beginning to worry about that 400 dollars.

little update.
allow apple.com home page to begin loading..
First I get a plug-in error
then I get "IE has encountered a problem and needs to close".
Error involves "modname quicktime264.qtx"
eventually IE 6 forces itself closed.
I tried to uninstall everything and reload but it did no good.

Fuzzy previews / thumbnails and blank videos from iPhone and iPad imports

When I sync and download images from both my iPad and iPhone the thumbnails / previews are showing up fuzzy and I also am unable to play the downloaded videos.
Any thoughts? Thanks!
Please see screenshot below:

Your screenshot does not show for me, sorry. Can you please try to post it again?
What is the pixel size of your iPhone images and iPad images? Do you have an iPad 3 with a large pixel size 2592 × 1936 (5.0 MP) or an earlier version with lower pixel size? Then the images might display fuzzy on a large screen.
How do you transfer the images from your IOS devices? Photo Stream? Connect using USB?
also am unable to play the downloaded videos
Is that a recent problem? Did they play previously?
Regards
Léonie
