Deleting movie from Quicktime Player 10 (Snow Leopard)

how to delete movie from Quicktime Player 10 in OS X 10.6.8

You delete movies from your computer not from Quicktime.

Always play linked movie in QuickTime Player?

How do I craft an HTML link so that the mov from my web server always plays in the Quicktime player? I don't want the image imbedded in the webpage; I want a clickable link that will open QT Player and start the movie.
I tried adding "target", "quicktimeplayer" to the QTWritePosterXHTML javascript described in the Export for Web ReadMe instructions, but it doesn't seem to work.
By the way, if I use a raw Test Movie link to the .mov file, it opens in a new browser window, not the QT player.

How do I craft an HTML link so that the mov from my web server always plays in the Quicktime player? I don't want the image imbedded in the webpage; I want a clickable link that will open QT Player and start the movie.
I assume there may be many ways to do this but as I am not an HTML programmer, I normally go with a non-programmer method -- the the QuickTime Media Link (QTL) file.
Basically, this is a script encapsulated as a QT movie file. When accessed, i.e., such as when clicking on a hyperlink pointing to it URL, a very small file is downloaded to the user's computer which then opens the local QT Player and begins caching data from a source file on a server. Depending on the settings in the QTL file, the movie can auto-open, loop, play in full screen mode, etc.
To give you some idea of what I am talking about, here is an iWeb page that allows you to play the same file either directly in the web browser page or on your local Mac platform. I like QTL files because they can be used in much the same way as a reference file -- i.e., be e-mailed as a very small attachment and treated/opened/played much the same as a standalone QT file as long as you are connected to the Internet.

How to take 16:9 HD Movie from QuickTime player and play 4:3 letterbox

We have a movie created in Final Cut Pro in HDV, so it is 16x9 and it plays just fine having been exported as a QuickTime movie.
The idea is to distribute it to some people that have 4:3 SD televisions, so we want to make a DVD that will play in those TV's but will not cut off the sides or distort the picture - in other words, to letterbox it.
I tried creating a 4:3 project in iDVD, and dragging the quicktime movie in. It seemed to be letterboxed in the preview window, but when I burned the disc, not only was it not letterboxed, but it cut off the sides of the picture. Even playing it on a 16:9 TV had the sides cut off.
Can someone suggest how to accomplish this?

The original movie was exported from Final Cut Pro into QuickTime so it was 1920x1080 using the HDV 1080i60 codec. This resulted in a QuickTime movie file. After reading your reply I opened this .mov file in QuickTime player and exported it using the DV codec (best quality, 16x9, progressive). Under "Size" in the dialog, there was an option to "Preserve Aspect Ratio Using.." and I selected "letterbox".
This produced what looks like a DV 853x480 file that looks letterboxed. I opened a new iDVD project, selected 4:3 as the ratio (since this will be viewed on a 4x3 Tv; that is the idea of making sure it is letterboxed) and imported the new file. It came out 4x3 stretched. So I guess I did something wrong.
What should I do differently?

but to answer:
that 'option' is only avail in the pro version of QT ..

Camera movies to quicktime player or windows media player

Digital movies play just fine on my camera, a NIkon Coolpix but once I import them to either quicktime or windows media player they do not play smoothly. Any ideas why or what I can do to correct this?

I have a HP Pavilion 554y computer with windows xp operating system, not a mac
Why are you asking this on an Apple forum then ??!
Either ask Nikon or try the Microsoft forum:

.MOV file won't play in QuickTime Player? QT Components?

I have a bunch of .MOV clips on my hard drive that I'd like to ultimately import to Final Cut Express (4.0.1) to edit (my wedding video!!). If I double click on the clip, it automatically opens in QuickTime Player (7.6.9), and I then prompted to a QuickTime Components website. I'm not sure why the .MOV clips won't play, since I believe I have the latest version of QT. What should I do?
Additional information on the .MOVE files: original format is MPEG HD, dimensions: 1280 x 720, Codecs: XDCAM EX 720p30 (35 Mb/s VBR) Integer (Big Endian), Timecode
Thank you for your help!

Upon further research, I found that a certain QT plug-in is required to use XDCAM EX footage in Final Cut Express, which can be found on this website:
http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
I downloaded the demo, but have no idea how to use it to convert my files so FCE will accept it. Is anyone familiar with this plug-in and what to do once it is downloaded?

HT204370 Can i watch a rented movie in QuickTime?

If I watch a movie in itunes it is choppy. I recently purchased a movie through itunes and watched it in QuickTime, happy days. I have rented a movie through itunes and when I try and play it through QuickTime I just get a grey screen and no sound.
In the apple 'Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for purchased movies' it asks 'Can I watch the movie in QuickTime Player?', for which the answer is 'yes'.
There is no such question in the rented movies FAQs. Is this because the answer is 'no' and apple would rather not tell anyone?
I have QuickTime Pro and it is registered.

I assume you are using the Apple TV 1 (silver/grey).
The rental needs to be transferred to the Apple TV. It sounds as though you have paired a secondary (streaming only) library only and you need a primary library to transfer content.

Quicktime Movies Causes UI To Lock Up (Safari & Quicktime Player)

When a page in Safari has an embedded Quicktime Movie, it causes my computer to lockup. It will not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input. The whole UI just locks up. Same with opening movies in Quicktime Player. I can SSH into the box, and when I run "top", I don't see anything pegging the CPU. The biggest problem is, Safari and Quicktime Player don't "crash", so no crash report is generated, and I have nothing to reference. I can issue a "sudo reboot" and the machine will restart.
If I set Safari to run in Rosetta, I experience no problems. Same with the Quicktime Player. However, Firefox work perfectly displaying Quicktime Movies.
I have the most current firmware and system updates. The problem is reproducible with a fresh user account, as well as with a clean system install. I even went to the trouble of zeroing the drive, and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS. I tested pre updates, and post updates, and it is reproducable across all instances. This was all done in front of a Genius at the Apple Store.
He was stumped...

I'm not a QuickTime engineer but I noticed that the QuickTime Plugin.webplugin first appeared in Tiger and version 7. It caused me some grief when using the Safari Activity window to find source URL's for QuickTime files in pages. Removing it allowed the URL to appear in the Activity window.
Now most pages use javascript (.js) files to display QuickTimme files so they don't appear in the Activity window.
I beleive that the plug-in is used by Dashboard Widgets (also html files) to do some kind of "voodoo" similar to the plug-in architecture of Web browsers.
I've just applied at the La Cantera Apple Store for a job. Is that where you "stumped the genius"?

QuickTime Player - Partial Screen Recording?

Hello everyone,
My idea was to use AppleScript to:
- Launch Quicktime Player
-- Start Screen Recording
-- Check that 'Show Mouse Click in Recording' is marked
-- Click 'Record' button
--- Let user drag his desired portion of the screen
--- Start record
--- Stop record
-- Save movie
- Close QuickTime Player
So far I only got to the point where the user needs to 'drag his desired portion of the screen'.
But I also have a problem detecting that 'Show Mouse Click in Recording' is checked or not.
I can click it, but if it's already checked - it'll just go off. The problem is that it's not really a checkbox element rather a menu item.
Is there a way around it?
Also, and more important, how can I tell when the user finished his recording I.e. clicks the 'Stop' button so the script
can move on to saving that file.
Here is what I got so far (pretty basic):
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
          tell process "QuickTime Player"
                    click menu item "New Screen Recording" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
                    click menu button of window "Screen Recording"
                    click menu item "Show Mouse Clicks in Recording" of menu 1 of menu button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
                    click button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
          end tell
end tell
So, am I crazy or is it possible?
I am pretty new to AppleScript, if there is a different, better way to do it, I would love to know.
Thanks!

QuickTime Player 10.2

I don't know much about QuickTime Player. Nevertheless, maybe the following script, tested with QuickTime Player 10.3 under OS X 10.9.1, can help you.
tell application "QuickTime Player"
    set theDocument to new screen recording
    activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
    tell process "QuickTime Player"
        tell menu button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
            click
            tell menu item "Show Mouse Clicks in Recording" of menu 1
                if value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is missing value then
                    click
                else
                    keystroke return
                end if
            end tell
        end tell
        click button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
        repeat until exists menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
            delay 1
        end repeat
        repeat while exists menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
            delay 1
        end repeat
        repeat until exists window "Untitled"
            delay 1
        end repeat
        click menu item "Save…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
    end tell
end tell

QuickTime Player Window Unresponsive After Switching Apps or Hiding

When I'm watching a movie in QuickTime Player, pause the movie, and switch to another app or hide the QuickTime Player window, the window becomes unresponsive when I try to switch back. None of the buttons in the window work, but I can still get the movie to resume play by using the play button on my keyboard. The only way to get it back to normal is to quit QuickTime Player via the contextual menu in the Dock and then relaunch. Is anyone else seeing this behavior or know of a fix?
Thanks.

Yes! I have the same problem. No solution though.

QuickTime Player can't open "file.mp4"

My husband completed a movie in iMovie 10.0.5. When he tries to open said movie in QuickTime Player 10.3 he gets a window that says,
QuickTime Player can open FlyIn.mp4 (FlyIn is the name of the movie, obviously). We tried QuickTime Player 7.6.6 found in Utilities
and the mp4 is not even recognized so we can attempt to open. He's running Mavericks.

Hi
i have installed and tried converting a file with "smart converter". I immediately get this error "THE OPERATION CAN'T BE COMPLETED OPERATION 1" I have tried this on multiple files and no luck. What do you suggest? Attached is a screen shot.

I movie : add several clips in one step

Hello,
how can I add several clips (which are still on my iphone) in one step to a new i movie project?
best greetings
Heike

To make them "fly" you have to keyframe each clip; inserting a keyframe where you want the clip to "take off" and inserting another keyframe where you want the clip to "land"
After you've set the keyframes you have to go into the Motion tab and adjust the settings how you'd like them for both the "take off" and "land" keyframes.
Or you can go to the frame that has the keyframe on it then in the viewer you can move the clip to where you'd like.
I do stuff like this all the time. Here's an example:
Jacob singing about 7-11 Hot-Dogs
And here's another one:
The Sage
