Adding a movie to iWeb

Hi guys
I have just started to play with iWeb '08, and all was going well until I tried to add an iMovie film. Firstly iWeb advised that the file was too large for web use and that I should convert to a suitably sized Quicktime movie. I did this through Share>Export using Quicktime> and selected Broadband - medium as the use. The file exported successfully, and opens and plays normally in Quicktime (size is 2.8MB).
However, when I try to drag into iWeb from Finder, I get this message:
"The media file “filename.mov” can’t be used because you don’t have access privileges, or because it has no content or is corrupt."
It's not corrupt, and has content (as it opens just fine in Quicktime 7.4), and I am the admin user so can't see how I can't have access privileges!
Any help gratefully received, I'd like to get this sorted so we have something to show granny next weekend!!
Cheers all
Noel

Lion has nothing to do with counters. For iWeb counters to work you must publish the website to MobileMe.
If you publish your site to a 3rd party ftp server you will need to use a 3rd party counter like StatCounter. This tutorial describes how to apply the counter via HTML snippts: 13 - Adding a Graphical StatCounter as an HTML Snippet to an iWeb Page.

Adding a movie in iWeb using a movie template.

I wanted to add a small QuickTime movie to my web site.
I added a movie template page to the site and then dropped the movie to the box. In iWeb, I am able to click on the play button and the movie plays just fine. But when I publish the site and upload it, where the movie should be is just a Q for QuickTime.
So then I made a plain box with the enable as a hyperlink and a link to the movie. Just like I would to do a pdf file.
My question is how do I get the movie page to work? It looks better with the movie page.

you cant make changes to released template, if you do also, new changes wont be shown
Please refer the note 888650
and do the steps as indicated in order to cancel already released one

Added iPod movie to iTunes - can't find it in the library

I converted a movie for my new iPod, and it seems that the only way to add movies to the iPod is to add them to the iTunes library.
Well, I did that, and the weirdest thing happened. I could add the movie to iTunes, but I couldn't add it to the library, the "plus"-sign didn't show there, but I could add it to one of the playlists. It also got transferred to the iPod, where I can watch it.
Since this was only a short test-clip, I wanted to remove it afterwards. Oops! it was in the library, and iTunes wouldn't even find it with the search-feature. So I re-synced the iPod with iTunes, to see if it was still there....and it was, but where? It was on my iPod, but I still couldn't find it on iTunes.
A search on spotlight revealed it: in the "Recently Added" playlist, but not in the library. Why is that?
After that I tried to delete it, but I couldn't delete it from the playlist. I had to use Spotlight again, and delete it from the finder.
Has anybody an explanation for all this? For now, I'm not adding anymore movies to the iPod, scared to lose some content with this unexpected behavior.

iTunes sorts all of your content into different Libraries depending on how it has been classified, e.g. Movies you download from the iTunes Store go in the Movies Library, Music and Music Videos go in the Music Library, and TV Shows go in the TV Shows Library. In Preference under the tab General there should be some options to show or hide certain Libraries. Make sure that the Movies box is checked and it should be fine.
If that doesn't work, or if it does, please come back and let us know.

Adding a Movie in iTunes.

when i'm adding a movie in itunes the movie is placed in Homevideo folder i want the movie to be placed in Movie folder.
Why is it placed in Homevideo folder?

The Movies are M2V formated, and have AC3 Audio (Have an AC3 Plugin' and Have Apples MPEG 2 component). So please can anyone help me get Artwork to my Movie in iTunes?
Sorry to say, it is not possible in this case. The ability to add/contain graphic "artwork" in iTunes is a property of the file container here. M4V and MP4 containers, for instance, can contain one such independent graphic. On the other hand, an MOV (assume you saved your M2V/AC3 data as an MOV) file cannot. On the other hand, your MOV file can have a "poster frame." If you are not a "purist," you can get around this problem by simply adding/drag 'n dropping your graphic to an appropriate point in your MOV file (I would recommend the end of the file), setting it as your "poster frame," and saving the file. In iTunes, this "poster frame" will now show up in your "artwork" display locations. (PS -- this is on a separate track as you attempted to do. In QT Pro, pre-position playhead to end of file and add JPEG track last so its layer is above main movie layer.)

I want to move my iweb domain files to another computer, I read the directions in help but the file isn't where it says it is, can anyone direct me?

Where are you looking?

Keep in mind that your Library folder is hidden by default in Mountain Lion.
To find it, hold down the option key and choose the Go menu in the Finder.
You might also want to try posting your question over in the iWeb area.

There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Adding quicktime movies

I have added quicktime movies to my presentation and when i present they don't work. I have tried various methods of adding them (dragging, using media etc), they work if i double click them in the navigator view and they work on keynote 06 just not when actually presenting, i get a blank screen with the sound.

From your description you are having the same problem as many with a blank screen on playback of movies. As documented this can be fixed by going to Preferences:Slideshow and ticking the 'Allow Expose, Dashboard and others to use the screen' check box.
As an aside .mov files are the best format for keynote. Keynote seems to create a .mov envelope for files that aren't .mov files when you insert the movie file- you can examine this behavior by right/control clicking on a keynote file and select 'View Package Contents...'. The source file as well as a .mov file will be amongst the files. It's a good way to recover original media files from keynote files if you loose them- but remember to option drag them out or you'll lose them from the presentation.

Quicktime 7 Screen movie in iWeb '09

Is there a way to include a Quictime 7 Screen Movie in iWeb '09?
I tried dragging the file onto the page I want it to appear and exported the changes but on the actual page it just shows the "Q" marker.
I then tried uploading the actual movie file to the directory that goes with the page and even the root of the site. Neither would allow me to view the site from the site.
Any ideas?

Can one post movies via iWeb which cannot be saved by the viewer?

Does anyone know of a way to make movies on iWeb "view only" and not savable by the viewer of the website? This would enable me to post movies which I want to show but don't want them to have to have access to the file to use as they please.

If someone wants a video, he gets the video...
There's no full protection... One way or another you get all you want... And there are also many tools out there to grab stuff from websites and so on...
However using flash is better than using quicktime under this aspect too...
(Quicktime you just have to save as source and that's it...)
I don't know any way sorry...

Adding DVD movies to desktop from IPhone

I bought DVD movies that came with digital copies that I downloaded to my laptop. I then synced the laptop to my IPhone and added the movies. Is there a my to add these movies to my desktop using my IPhone?

I understand you are not trying to get anyone in trouble, but FYI, what you paid for when purchasing these DVDs is a license to use this content only - a use license. The same applies when purchasing music on a CD, or electronically via the iTunes Store. We don't own the DVD content, or the music that we purchase. We purchase a use license only, which includes restrictions.
Although you are not trying to do anything illegal, and it isn't illegal to make a copy of a DVD that you purchase, the problem lies when changing the format of the original DVD content.
Copied from my first post in this thread:
+This is called "ripping", and unfortunately the details for doing so cannot be discussed here. The reason is, this can involve copyright issues with this content - since this requires changing the original format of the DVD for viewing in iTunes and on your iPhone.+
If you weren't able to get this content "ripped" correctly, you used a poor utility for this purpose. There are a number of these utilities to choose from, and as with anything else, some are better than others.
Does whoever you acquired this utility from include any technical support and if so, have you contacted them?

Quicktime Movies and iWEB

Anyone having problems posting movies in iWEB. I posted a few nad when I launch the site it won't platback.

Anyone having problems posting movies in iWEB. I
posted a few nad when I launch the site it won't
platback.
I have. I posted a topic on it and haven't gotten any suggestions. Movies, audio and video will work fine on the .Mac site, but won't work on the non-mac site. 1.01 worked fine on both but since upgranding I haven't been able to figure out the problem. Here are the addresses:
http://www.salemcityfire.com
http://web.mac.com/jpelura3
the "Test" page is a small audio file. The "Movies" page is a rather large file. The Fire Calls page has some audio too, that's more like a podcast.
I would appreciate any help and am not sure if the OP is publishing to .Mac or another site.

I just added some photos and movies to iWEB and it now won't open.

I have just started using iWEB over the last couple of weeks and after working on my website a bit today it crashed and now will not open again. Any tips?

I am responding to this because I have not figured out how to post a question, but I do see how to respond to a question already posed. Can anyone tell me if I am working on a network with 2 computers if I can post to Iweb using both computers or if I would be better off using one computer?

Having trouble with html snippets and movies in iweb 09

Hi I have built a site iweb2.0.4 and recently moved it onto my new machine with iweb 09 on. Basically I have been putting in videos that I have exported for web out of Quicktime. In the past I have simply added an html snippet code like this in <iframe src="http://evileducation.org/stammuraifinalcomp/ReadMe.html" style="width: 340px; height: 285px"; scrolling="no" controller="true" frameborder="0"></iframe>
I edit the ReadMe.html based on a tutorial I saw and it loads the movie after pressing the "Click to play" button. Now in 09 when I put the code in to the snippet it just shows a Quicktime symbol with a question mark. if you check the link below you can see the videos with the best I have managed to do so far which is get the new movies on but they both autoplay (I have linked in this instance to the 4kb .mov in each folder rather than the readme.html.). I don't want to just drag a video in I would like the options to view on phone or on computer etc and not for them to autoplay. Is there a new/ different way to do this now. Surely it shouldn't be this hard to get the export for web in Quicktime and iWeb to work together? The frustrating thing is if you check the link below the old movies work fine still it's just the 2 new ones. Soz for the long one!
