Adding link to get QuickTime on Homepage movie

Just bought a .Mac account, and published my first movie on Homepage. For visitors who have QuickTime, it works great.
But for those who don't have Quicktime (PC users, pardon the expression) is there any way to add a link right on the published movie page within Homepage so they can easily get the free download?
I tried adding some html for the link, but apparently Homepage won't accept it as html -- just showed up a the text of the code.
Any ideas?

I sent your file back to you. All "new and improved" .Mac Homepage.
Many people don't understand that an .html file is nothing but "plain text" and that any text editor (TextEdit, Simple Text or Notepad) can open and edit these files.
The "trick" (on a Mac) is keeping the "plain" text part.
When you see a page using a Web browser the "weird" part of an html file is interpreted and doesn't work as anything "plain" anymore.
The nature of the "plug-in" architecture is that this extra "message" (get QuickTime to view this page) isn't required. The plug-in (from whatever browser) will "read" the html and tell a visitor "Hey, I don't have the tools to do what the page is asking me to do". "Do you want me to download a new plug-in?"
You can use any browser to view the "source code" of any page you visit. Since these pages are just made up of plain text "parts" you can gather snippets of html code to view, or edit (or even use in your own code).
Safari has a special window (Activity window) that will show you the parts of any page. A double click on any page asset will "open" it in a new browser window. The file menu allows you to "save" nearly anything that makes up any page you visit.

In attempt to burn blu-ray, I get QuickTime error 0. Takes hours to export a 7 minute movie from timeline, then get notice it fails. What's going on here?

New problem just started 24 hours ago. When I try to export from the time line to create a QuickTime file, a 7 minute movie on time line takes 3 hours to export and then the export fails, where as a few days ago, that export would take about 10 minutes at most. I get the same failure notice when I try to share to blu-ray, DVD, or Vimeo. Tried to use compressor, no such luck as compressor failed to make a .mov file. I get QuickTime error 0 message about 5 minutes into trying to share to Blu-Ray now. Does anyone know what is going on here? I'm running latest update of Snow Leopard on an intel Mac Pro and the latest update to Final Cut Pro X. I've also installed QT 7.6.6 to use in creating time lapse movie files.

Same problem here, too. Final Cut Pro X 10.0.3 on OS 10.6.8. However, it is only doing it on ONE of my projects. A 4-second test project burned successfully.
I'm actually going to use iDVD to burn copies for a few people, so I only need the movie file from FCPX.
Would someone please post best export settings for use on a DVD? In FCPX, the project is in HD (1080p) with all media optimized to ProRes 442. I know it will have to be down-sampled to DVD resolution, but I've always been curious to know what settings will result produce the best possible quality in DVD resolution.
Thank you!

I live in thailand. I just downloaded firefox 3.6.12. I have uninstalled google chrome. My firefox homepage comes up with a google mark and is in thai language. How do i remove the google link and get english language?

You can set the Interface Language via the Search settings link on the http://www.google.com/ncr site. That should work for the Google Firefox page as well.<br />
That setting is stored in a Google PREF cookie that you need to keep (allow).

Added Link at messageLovInput through personalizaton and getting error

Hi Friends,
While creating work order in eAM, Material Requirements secon is there, there we can find Item messagelovinput field. My clients wants to check Item details while selecting the item (long desc, on hand quantity etc..). For getting this functionality developed one custom page with item details and calling that page using link at item lov.
1) added link at results table of Item lov and given at destination URI as follows
OA.jsp?page=/xxnwc/oracle/apps/eam/workorder/webui/XXNWCItemDetailsPG&addBreadCrumb=Y&org_id={@OrganizationId}&inv_id={@InventoryItemId}.
Issue
1) open Item lov click on go --> we will get item in results table --> click on item details link --> open new custom page
2) click on quick select at item then getting error like as follos
Error: Cannot Display Page
You cannot complete this task because you accessed this page using the browser's navigation buttons (the browser Back button, for example).
To proceed, please select the Home link at the top of the application page to return to the main menu. Then, access this page again using the application's
navigation controls (menu, links, and so on) instead of using the browser's navigation controls like Back and Forward.
Please let me know how to resolve this issue.
For replicating issue you can go
Responsibility: Maintenance Super User > Work Orders tab> then go to “Material Requirements” section. > add link to Item lov
Thanks in Advance,
Hanimi.

I'm a great fan of problems magically fixing themselves ... always breathe a sigh of relief if that happens during a troubleshoot.
I was wondering about trouble with a piece of album art initially. But if that was afoot we'd expect the synch to be always dying on the same song (or songs from the same album).
Perhaps it's just that the USB connection is getting grumpy during a *really long* sync. If that's what is going on, we could be able to make some progress by moving the music across in smaller batches.
Switch the iPod over to manually managing content. Select a chunk of songs ... say, about 1.5 GB-worth, and copy them over.
Does that complete successfully? If so, select another batch of about 1.5 GB, and copy them over, and so on until you've got the songs on. Once you've done that, you can switch her back to your preferred auto-sync settings.
Any better luck getting stuff on in stages like that?

I am using OS 10.7 Lion. Quicktime will not play avi files. One support forum gave 2 links to get them but I got a 404 error. Can anyone help?

You can also use VLC

It woks very well, can read almost anything, and also lets you do conversions to other formats.

When I try to export with Quicktime, the iMovie (9) runs for a few minutes and I then get this message:The movie could not be exported because an error occurred. (-2125)

Trash your preferences. Trash your project render files. Switch off background rendering. Export without using the computer for anything else.
Oh, and if you're using 10.9 switch off App Nap.

Having trouble getting Quicktime movies into iMovie

Hi everyone. I'm on an iBook with OS 10.3.9 and I'm working with Quicktime 7.0.3 and iMovie 4.0.1. I've been making a student film, and I've been trying to drag or import Quicktime movies into iMovie to edit and use. However, when I attempt to do so, it doesn't work and I get a message that reads, "Can't open file (insert file name here); skipping it and continuing." Is there any way to fix this problem without having to get Quicktime Pro? Thanks.
Brian

Thanks for your reply. I'm pretty sure the files are indeed mpegs. I tried out the program you sent, and it worked for the first clip when I converted it into DV. For some reason, when I tried importing the next two mpeg movies, I got a message that said, "The DV File (insert name here) is the wrong video standard and cannot be imported into this project." Any reason why that should be happening? Thank you very much for your first reply.

How can i get quicktime to work on my windows vista

everytime i download the latest update of quicktime, it says it cannot find the "active x control" can someone explain to me what that is, and how can i get quicktime working so i can have my iTunes running again

I was just on a windows computer with some horsepower power. I can't get it, the video would play fine, but no audio. Perhaps Jon could take a look? I can't pick up anything on it, other than it's a .mov
I no longer have home access to a Windows machine or Mac running Windows OS. As I am not an HTML programmer, I did not check the page coding but had no problem playing any of the video content on the linked page using the Safari browser. Spot checked the source files and found them to be typical MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) files with a frame rate of 30 fps using CABAC entropy Main Profile Level 3.0 (SD) and Level 3.1 (HD) encodings in MOV file containers. As to audio, only one file—Video+(1).MOV (the "Raven, Salma and Kenneth" Claymation Practice file)—contained an AAC (LC) audio track. Except for the use of capitalized extensions (which I don't think should cause a problem), the videos themselves look standard and should be playable on any system using any compatible media or plug-in players that support standard MPEG-4 content and the MOV file container.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

Quicktime self-contained movie stalls

How do I get my self-contained movie to load for a few seconds before it automatically starts? I am getting minor stalls in the beginning of the movie while it is starting to load. After it loads for 10 seconds or so, then it's smooth sailing.

How do I get my self-contained movie to load for a few seconds before it automatically starts? I am getting minor stalls in the beginning of the movie while it is starting to load. After it loads for 10 seconds or so, then it's smooth sailing.While some of the "power users" may know of a way to script an "auto start" for your clip, I do not. Spent several hours a day over the last few days performing "segmentation analysis" of clip characteristics. Based on these results and what little you have said regarding settings used, it might be best to simply attemt to avoid the problem rather than "fix" it. (All of my attempts to reconvert the file either created a green bar artifact, reduced quality to an unacceptable level, or delayed auto start until all tracks were pre-loaded even when only one added "ramp adjustment" track was so set.) Of course, you can always allow the user to manually start playback here.
RECAP: The primary problem here seems to be one of the speed with which the data rate "ramps up/down" during playback. QT compares data rate to file length in order to automatically calculate the start play delay needed to buffer enough data to theoretically prevent an "overrun" during playback. In this case, you committed two cardinal sins -- failure to limit data rate to Internet compatible connection speeds and not limiting quantimization excursion to this range. Failure to do this allows the instantaneous video data rate to monotonically ramp from near zero Mbps to nearly 4 Mbps causing QT to overrun, recalculate, rebuffer, and restart numerous times during the initial 7-8 seconds of play. This is likely due to use of the H.264 codec in the "muti-pass" mode coupled with setting the "Quality slider" for maximum data rate excursion with a possible "auto" frame rate setting. Unfortunately, your content is deceptively complex in motion (allowed to ramp up to high) and transition (can't ramp up fast enough) sequences when compared to the rest of the content (allowed to ramp down too low). Like CD/VCD/DVD playback, "progressing streaming" plays best when you use a "constant throughput" rather than "constant quality" encoding strategy. I.e., you might try using the single-pass mode, using 50-75% quality setting, and adjusting the key frame frequency (or better yet manually inserting extra key frame markers to transitions if using an editor that allows this).
An interesting exercise. Sorry I couldn't come up with any better suggestions.

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.

Trouble getting QuickTime to run on Windows 7. Error 46: Could not load or find the Quick Time Active X control.

Trouble getting QuickTime to run on Windows 7.Installation seems to finish successfully. When can try to open it I get the following error message:
Error 46: Could not load or find the Quick Time Active X control. I have reinstalled QuickTime and itunes several times but with no luck. Any suggestions?

Hi Pedro d,
Yes but no! I have tried everything step by step several times. Researching Error 46 on the web is scary business!! The gangsters are out in force on this one, begging to take your money! From a couple of trusted sites I have been able to make this much clear at least for Vista users, I'm using Windows 7 but I think they relate:
"Since the issue causing the Error 46 is that QuickTime registry entries don't have the correct permissions set, the repair is to go and reset all the incorrect permissions. However, this is a long and tedious process. The SubInACL tool from Microsoft (see the link in Resources) can change the permissions as a batch. The batch is defined by a CMD file that lists all of the registry keys to be changed. Once SubInACL is installed on your computer, move the CMD file with all the registry changes into the same folder, typically C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools. Right-click the CMD file, choose "Properties," check "Run this Program in Compatibility Mode" and select "Windows Vista (Service Pack 2)" from the drop-down menu. Click "OK." Do the same for SubInACL. When you're done, double-click on the CMD file and it will run. Your error should be gone."
I don't have the expertise to do this, do you? I wish that Apple or someone would take the bull by the horns and fix this because what I've read their are a lot of people having this problem. Any thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Kindly,

I am getting the error "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP" when attempting to play a HD movie from iTunes to my TV. The TV is a Samsung UN46B7000WF w/resolution 1080p

Hello Apple Community,
I am getting the message "THis movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)." This is the first time I have tried to watch a HD movie that I bought from iTunes from my iMac to my TV. (This is also the first attempt to go from my iMac to my TV.) I have a Samsung LED tv that says it is HDCP compatible with Full HD (1080p) and Native resolution is 1920X1080. I bought a Rocketfish Thunderbolt to/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter (says support is up to 1920X1200 video resolution) and Mediabridge ULTRA Series HDMI Cable (35 Feet) - High-Speed Supports Ethernet, 3D and Audio Return category 2 certified (supports resolution up to 4K including 1440p, 1080p, 1080i and lower).
I can get the iMac to display on my TV but am guessing that I have not managed the settings correctly in Display for either the iMac or the TV. In addition, I do not have sound yet. Although, the card from Mediabridge says that I need to update my drivers. Any help/advice with the settings for iMac to TV to watch in HD and adding HDMI drivers would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Sincerely,
Lisa

Hello All,
I have figured out the sound issue: System Preferences>Sound and choose the TV for output.
Regards,
Lisa

Any know whats up and can help solve this, it seems to be a software related problem to QT 7 or X

Exactly the same by my iMac.
"The document ... could not be opened. An error occurred (-101)"
I can play the same video with VLC player but not with QuickTime.

What could be the problem?

Most reliable way to link to a Quicktime file in HTML

What’s the best / most reliable way to link to a Quicktime.mov file in HTML (via Dreamweaver). Taking into account different browsers and operating systems PC & Mac.
I want to use a text and/or image to link to the QT file, what’s the best way to do it, a QK player pop-up; or a new window?
Thanks!
imac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

In all the years in using Dreamweaver. I have never used the embed code generated by by Dreamweaver. The coding not complete and I feel better writing my own. Untill a few years ago I found this neat little program that write a fairly complete code.
PAGEot...and it free. It not only writes the emebed code but it can write the javascript code for IE7 (for Windows). Plus it does a lot of other neat things that you do with Quicktime...play lists, poster frames to name a few.
http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/pageot.html
You can either use the html page it makes or just copy and paste the embed code into you own html...
The coding it makes is compliant with most major browsers. either PC or Mac.
