Annoying Quicktime, Dock Pop-Up and AVI problem

Hi,
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd appreciate ...
Everytime I watch an AVI file via Quicktime in Full Screen, the dock would pop up from out of nowhere and remain there whilst the movie is playing until I reduce and increase the screen size in QT. I have checked to see whether it could be triggered by mouse movements but this does not seem to be the case, so I'm a little lost as to what could be causing this and how to fix it.
Any ideas?

Sorry, I do not know the answer. However, apparently you are not alone......

  • Relation between QuickTime 7.1.1 and AirPort problems

    I've read a few thread talking of relations between
    the last QuickTime 7.1.1 update and problems with AirPort
    in one way or the opposite.
    As this looked quite hard to explain I thoroughly checked
    the QuickTime 7.1.1 update package and I can tell everyone for
    sure:
    it doesn't include a bit that could interfere with the
    AirPort driver or software
    You could double check it for yourself with the following
    steps:<pre>
    1. within "Software Update...", select "QuickTime 7.1.1"
    and select "Update > Download Only"
    2. in a Terminal or xterm window, type the following
    commands:
    my_mac$ cd /Library/Packages/QuickTime711.pkg/Contents
    my_mac$ gzcat Archive.pax.gz | pax | egrep -i 'air|802'
    my_mac$ cd Resources
    my_mac$ egrep -i 'air|802' cleanup-list InstallationCheck
    my_mac$</pre>
    Then, if your AirPort was "apparently" broken or repaired
    just after the QuickTime 7.1.1 update, this was simply
    due to the restart of your system.

    If you've got quicktime pro working with 7.1.3, count yourself lucky considering all the reports about 7.1.5 problems. I was about to download QT Pro when I started reading the reviews. Most of them were bad. Is it working for you with 7.1.3, especially on creating media files? Do you use it with Final Cut Pro? I'd appreciate your feedback.

  • QT7.1 Intel Mac and .AVI problems

    i Downloaded a .AVI file and cant watch it. i read in a mac magazine i need DviX to watch it with. i DL that and Divx Doctor 2.
    the doctor converted the AVI in to some other format. now i can hear the sound. but all i get is a white screen in QT. i get a pop up saying i am missing some components and go online to get them. but Which components are missing?!
    for future DLs shouldi stick to MPEG formats to save hasstle?
    anyone help?

    No it didn't do the job. Not even close - so I'll open this one up again. It's hardly news that VideoLan is agnostic on these issues - all of us Mac people have defaulted to that player for years whenever QT has had compatibility problems - even with final public release codecs installed to enable QT to function.
    Moving to another player platform is hardly a long-term solution for whatever Apple is attempting to integrate into the 7.1 - 7.1.1 series of their QT player. 7.1 was faulty; 7.1.1 doesn't sound anymore agreeable.

  • MPEG4 and AVI problems

    I just picked up a 80 gb Ipod classic and am having a problem uploading movies to it. Perhaps someone can help me out.
    I have the upgraded version of Itunes and about 4 movies that I'd like to slap on my ipod, most of them in AVI format but with one in MPEG4. Itunes will add the avi files to my itunes library so I can try to convert them that way. But that isn't the end of it.
    The MPEG4 file can be added to the library easily enough.... but when it goes through the conversion process, all it leaves me with is perfect sound and a plain white screen.
    I'm thinking that I need to convert these files BEFORE they go on Itunes, but I can't be sure. Anyone have any suggestions???

  • OS X Yosemite: pop ups and email problems

    Ever since I downloaded OS X Yosemite, I cannot open email web links through Entourage. Whereas I used to be able to double click or select view in browser to view an email or promotion from a website, I can no longer do this and it is driving me crazy. My default browser is set to Safari. Also, I am getting a ton of pop ups even with block pop ups activated. Any suggestions?

  • Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

    Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

    HI GalaxieMusique,
    I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
    I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
    Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
    I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
    In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
    http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
    and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
    Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
    If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

  • I have Aperture3 and iPhoto.  When I try send video clips as attachments, I get a message saying Quicktime can't open the .avi - why?

    I have Aperture3 and iPhoto.  When I try send video clips as attachments, I get a message saying Quicktime can't open the .avi - why?  Others couldn't open them so I sent them to myself and get the same message.  Doesn't seem to be a size issue as I've tried with really short clips (4 seconds).  As I recall, I didn't have this problem before buying Aperture last fall, when I only had iPhoto.  It appears that by default, an attachment to an email automatically comes from my iPhoto files and not Aperture - assume that is supposed to happen but not sure.  Thanks for any and all help!
    Jim

      When I try send video clips as attachments, I get a message saying Quicktime can't open the .avi - why?
    How are you tryin to send the .AVI file? Are you sending the attachment directly from Mail or from Aperture or iPhoto?

  • Exporting HD Sizes for Quicktime and AVI?

    Okay, LOVE the new CS4, but have a problem.
    For tech notes in case it means anything, I'm shooting with a JVC HD-110, editing M2T files. Everything in THAT respect works perfectly - NOW I even have an FS5 drive so it goes even better - dropping all capture time and processes. The Projects are all set up as HDV, 720p at 24p - basically, everything about the Project is set to HD.
    When I choose Quicktime or AVI as the Export format, the only Preset options that come up are DV related. Meaning, SD... And when I have to manually type 1280x720 as the export size (upping the default from 720x480) it even reads "1,280" - not a straight "1280", get it?
    The resulting render looks horrible - completely unusable - unless my goal is to simulate the old Fisher Pricer Pixel Camcorder ;-)
    How do I Export from Premiere's Timeline to an HD format? Or can I download a set or HD Presets to put in the Export Settings (or something) folder for each codec?
    Thank you for your time, and any thoughts-
    -Lew

    Oh yeah - there's a whole huge list for WMV! MAN you have options there!
    No, none of those options are (or seem) available for Quicktime and AVI.
    I bounce files back and forth for clients (and myself) for FX work and edits (they prefer the Quicktime Animation codec at 100% - gotta admit, it's beautiful!), and would like to do final output to HD in the end for a project I'm working on right now.

    I am not too sure if thats a virus or trojan.. I always thought that macs didn't get virus? this looks like one to me… any experts around? please help me fix it with your instructions? really don't know what to do... thanks

    Those are not viruses. You have probably installed some malware:
    The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
    From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
    The facts are:
    1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
    2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
         is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
    3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
         the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
         techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
    4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
        your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
        protection against malware.
    5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
        from which they purport to protect you.
    6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
    7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
    8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
        you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
    9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.
