Apple TV and quicktime

Does anybody know how to get a quicktime movie into apple tv? Apparently the format is wrong.

Great! That did the job, but unfortunately no sound!
It may well be a muxed file (mpeg2 for example) and require you to convert it in another way. If you open the original file in quicktime and choose window/show movie inspector and share the details therein with us, we can suggest an application to do your conversion for you.

Why did apple trailers and quicktime stop working together all of a sudden?

I'm running Chrome and Firefox and Apple Trailers suddenly stopped launching HD trailers through Quicktime X. It was working automatically a few weeks ago. The only info i can find on the net is years old. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone fix it?
Thanks.

I've been having the same problem, I think since updating to Lion. HD trailers will only load through Safari, no other browser.

Apple Keynotes and Quicktime on Mac?

As the die-hard Apple fan I am, I was trying to watch some older keynotes of apple introducing some products. I have allways had this issue with my Intel mac. They keynotes just don't play. Or very poorly. The audio is fantastic. No problems. But the video comes in blurry, and refreshes every few seconds. Its awful. And somtimes I just get stuck at the copyright information at the beginning. I have normally just grunted, said bug and then watched it on my iPhone. But my iPhone wont play these old keynotes and i am stuck. Its not my internet connection. 6 MBPS.
Help? Or rather HALP?

Keep in mind that the galleries can not be password protected for ATV access.
That tripped me up for a week or so, as all of my galleries were PW protected. If so, ATV will only allow you to remove the listing for your gallery; it will not show what is there. I edited one of my galleries to remove the PW requirement, and ATV is now able to display it.

Apple color and lossless qt codec sheervideo

Anybody know if color works with sheervideo files?

The quick, down and dirty... if it ain't listed, probably not.
But if you want to try it, open/create a project, navigate to the media, and try to load it directly to the timeline. The app will let you know. I did this yesterday with something I inadvertently captured in AJA RGB 10-bit..., but as it is one of the default render-up formats, I should have guessed that it would be all right.
Is this the same game as the restaurant menu in "Get Shorty"? Peruse it, (or not -- like not reading the manual) and figure out what's NOT on it, or just dream something up, and then insist that's the only thing in the world that could be possibly satisfying...??? ;0) I'm also thinking of Jack in "Five Easy Pieces" just trying to order toast... but...
The big difference here is that this particular kitchen makes whatever it wants to, and what you see is what you get.

2 ideas for AppleTV: hybrid HD/blu-ray on Apple TV and a new video codec

I was impressed with the keynote but I have 2 suggestions for Apple -- one regarding Apple TV and one regarding a new possibility for movie rentals and/or quicktime and/or itunes:
1. Apple TV - to make this a truly revolutionary device, all you need to do is add a blu-ray/hd-dvd hybrid drive! Now THIS would be a breakthrough the stockholders could have put more money in for :\. You'd have rentals covered digitally through iTunes - regular format & HD, and it would 'just work' with ALL physical media too. Shortly, it would trivialize the format and precipitate the digital rental model even further because instead of paying for two players, consumers have an easy option to cover ALL bases. Once those are covered, the clarity of renting digitally becomes obvious, and iTunes dominates this arena.
2. You should look into ESPRE Solutions for your video codec and also for live streaming events through iTunes. They have a proprietary codec that can STREAM live HDTV resolutions at very low bandwidths. The latest story is here:
http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/prnewswire/NYF05925012008-1.htm
http://www.espresolutions.com/
Imagine: Next Keynote. Live. HD. They can actually make that happen for you right now.
I'm an apple user and investor - I love this company and it's products. These are just things that occurred to me during the keynote to make things even better.

As much as I would love it if the Apple TV was to have a Blu-Ray player, that will never happen. That is not what Apple is trying to do with this product. If you also look at the direction they are going, it would seem that Apple thinks everyone can do away with all types of media and just go strictly wireless and buy everything through iTunes. This is a real shame. It would appear that Apple just doesn't understand that most people, such as myself, do not want to be pushed into something they don't want. If the Apple TV had a blu-ray drive it would be the only thing I needed for my media center. Since it doesn't I have to either buy one or get something that already has it such as a PS3.

ITunes and Quicktime Error after automatice Apple update, need help!!!

So I currently have a new labtop with windows vista. I have been runining iTunes for the pass 3 months already no problems. The Apple automatic update has never caused any problems till now. Quicktime needed to be updated today, and I accecpted the update, prior to that iTunes and Quicktime was working properly. Once the quicktime update was complete, it restarted my computer like usual. Then when I tried to open iTunes this error came up:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
Now I checked the audio configuration and nothing was changed or anything, that has not been touched at all, so I still think it had to do with the update. The next error was came up when I tried to open Quicktime and it read:
"Runtime Error!
Program C://ProgramFiles/QuickTime/QuickTimePlayer.exe
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information"
So as long as I have been using Quicktime and iTunes I have never encountered this, I tried to re-install but the error kept coming up after it was installed. Please help me out!

Using Leopard with iCal, Apple Remote Desktop, and Quicktime/Keynote

Hi,
I need to create the following 'synergy' or workflow or 'automation' between these softwares:
- iCal
- Apple Remote Desktop
- Quicktime/Keynote
This is the application:
Remotely controlling (ARD) and scheduling (iCal) several quicktime/keynote files for display (ie. playing full screen video but controlling which file is playing from home).
How can I integrate all softwares?
Extended application:
I would also like to know if Leopard or any Apple software has the capability to read serial (RS-232) commands. For example, I would like to know and/or be advised if a screen/monitor is turned off (regardless if the computer is properly displaying the content or not).
I look forward to your feedback.
Thanks,
LMB1980

It is if you are trying to stream it.
Users may want to stream their music into a third party program such as Ventrilo (as I do) to share their music (but not their libraries) with other listeners and speak on Ventrilo at the same time. You need two user profiles running Ventrilo at the same time, and two user profiles running iTunes.
When I roll over to User Profile #2 after setting up iTunes to stream into Vent in User Profile #1, iTunes stops playing. This is a recent change. It's annoying.
How do I change it?

I have never been able to open Quicktime attachments on my MacBook Air. I have made sure that Quicktime 7 and Quicktime 7 Pro are installed. Still no luck opening Quicktime MV files. I called Apple Support and they had no solution.

Quicktime attachments marked MV will not open ion my MacBook Air. I have Quicktime 7 and Quicktime Pro installed. I caled Apple Tec support and they were unable to solve the problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Click on one of those files, then go to Get Info in Finder: select what application should open such files.

HT1926 I received an ITunes and Quicktime update notice on my Windows 7 PC, from Apple this morning. During the update installation, RealPlayer installed. What gives? Why is Realplayer installing with the Apple software.

I received an ITunes and Quicktime update notice on my Windows 7 PC, from Apple this morning. During the update installation, RealPlayer installed. What gives? Why is Realplayer installing with the Apple software.

Thanks for the reply. I went back to check if there was a history in windows (Event Viewer) but could not locate it in Win7. The only updates that were in the Apple Updater window were the Quicktime and ITunes. Had I let the Realplayer continue on its own, it would have installed the Google Chrome and other apps. I let it finish installing and then removed the entire program. I do not remember checking or seeing anything saying that realplayer was being downloaded until after a reboot was requested from the ITunes Update Installer.
I just thought it was strange since I do not use Realplayer and have not downloaded any software for it.
I am on a corporate PC with a pretty thick firewall, but something may have slipped through.
Thanks again for the assistance.

ITunes and Quicktime will not launch

I cannot get my iTunes or Quicktime to launch. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, upgraded, and tried several fixes that I found on this discussion board. No Luck! I'm using XP Pro SP3. When I first installed iTunes, it worked, but then quit working about 4 weeks later. I'm using the latest versions of both iTunes and Quicktime.

The error message you are getting suggests that you do have one of the problem codec packs installed on your system or you have had in the past.
Quicktime does not install Quicktime.cpl in the system32 directory.
It is possible that one of them was installed without you knowing with other software, I think Storm may get installed with other things although I can't name anything.
You must look for the things on my list and uninstall them if you find them. Check in Add/Remove programs to see if there is an entry there.
When you have uninstalled the problem items go on to the next stage. If you can't find anything you had better go on as well.
Download the stand alone Quicktime (the one without iTunes):
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

OSX 10.8.4 and Quicktime 10.2

I just downloaded a .mov file. When I try to open it I get the error message "the file could not be opened. The movies file format isn't recognized" . Any suggestions?

For a video to be playable in Quicktime, it needs to be a compatible file format (which a .mov file is) and the correct codec.
You can find the Quicktime compatible codecs here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3775
You can also get info on your .mov file (right click on the file and click Get info) and look at the More Info section to see what the codec is and if is in the list of compatible codecs for Quicktime.
If your file is not a compatible codec, you will need to convert it using a video conversion software.

Iphone 4 retina and Quicktime "pro" 7 not compatable? *** !

I am disgusted that apple would sell quicktime pro (7) and advertise that it works for the iphone when the iphone 4 has been out for a year now and QT7 does NOT support the retina display resolution (920 x 640). Only the much older lower resolutions are supported for the iphone 4. Also the h264 compressor apple uses is just terrible. Heck even Videora has a far better H264 compressor and its free !
Steve Jobs, you should be ashamed for STEALING my money!
In all honesty, Convert your mov files with Videora for free and they will look 10 x better than any quicktime "pro" version, do not ever purchase quicktime pro as it is a complete waste of your money and amounts to nothing more that a THEFT of your monies ! I should have gone with the reviews as most are clearly very negative on this old product but I didnt think apple could make something this terrible, hmmm, but they did.

I'm glad yer iPhone plays 720p just like mine but that is not the problem I am having. When you find out why qt pro 7 does NOT support exporting ( using the supplied iphone or h264 settings) the iPhone 4 retina resolution then please respond with the correct reason.
You are obviously using the built-in preset options and not custom settings. You are forgetting that Apple's primary purpose when creating pre-sets is to ensure compatibility. These options are programmed for multi-generation devices and, only support, the quality/settings that are compatible with the least capable device. As such, the TV preset is limited to 960x540 display resolution at 30/29.97 fps and a maximum video data rate of 5.0 Mbps. In a similar manner, the iPhone pre-set is limited to 1620 macroblocks/frame (usually a 720x480 or 720x576 max matrix) and 1.0 Mbps video data to maintain compatibility with all previous iPhone models. If you want to make the most of your device's particular capabilities, then either use custom settings or chose a different device pre-set whose output more closely matches what you want to use on your device if you want to use QT 7 Pro to perform your conversions. If you want to use a different converter, than, by all means, feel free to do so. However, since the source of your problem is in your work flow and not the product, I was merely attempting to point out the fact that your previous comments were unjustified.
As far as editing softwares and hardwares go I have everything from autodesk flame/ inferno down to pro and everything in between. Again please respond to my simple question only, why does qt7 not support the latest iPhone 4 higher retina display resolution? As opposed to older lower resolutions.
Let's hope you fully know how to take advantage of all of these hardware/software devices/applications. If you really feel Apple should support each device and generation of device with a separate entity pre-set as created and sold since being released, then contact Apple HERE and register your total dissatisfaction regarding each and every product not to your liking. You, of course, are entitled to your own opinions. Please extend the same courtesy to others.
Qt7 still ***** and is a total waste of money as people can do everything it does better and for free. Screw apple!
I might agree in some instances. For transcoding, I tend to prefer the X.264 codec with custom settings for more extensive analysis, better vector motion detection/rendering, removal of duplicated frames when applying detelecine, and a limited combined deinterlace/decomb filtering option. However, try aging, masking, layering, blending, picture-in-picture/picture-with-picture, and similar compositing options in a "free" utility.

Can someone tell me the status of QuickTime and QuickTime Pro?

I am very confused about the current status of QuickTime as an ongoing software. I am speaking of QuickTime on the Mac.
If I double-click on a video (.mov) on my hard drive, it plays with QuickTime Player 10.2 (603.12).
If I try to play some videos in iTunes (.mpg files, and maybe others), I get a pop-up window saying "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
I also have Quicktime Pro Player 7 [version 7.6.6 (1709)]. Which also lists itself QuickTime Version 7.7.1 (2599.24).
What is the difference between Pro Player 7 and QuickTime Player 10.2? My understanding is that Pro 7 has many more export options and is a more powerful program. But is it still current? Or has it been abandoned?
Why is QT 10.2 less powerful than 7?
Why isn't QT supported by the current version of iTunes?

It sounds like with 7, there was Quicktime version whatever, and you could upgrade to Pro. Then they branched off and kept upgrading QT, but leaving Pro behind. When they did this, they incorporated many of Pro's features into the newer QT versions, but, apparently they left out some codecs that Pro supports.
That's basically correct.
Why did they leave out those codecs? Why didn't they just march forward with future QT versions and include everything?
We don't know, being just fellow users. QuickTime X is a completely new architecture, so perhaps they just didn't feel that recoding the older codecs was worth the time given their future plans for QuickTime, but all anyone of us here can do is guess.
You say there have been many updates to Pro over the years, but are they still updating it?
Apple continues to update QuickTime X, but has not released an update to QuickTime Player 7 in many months now.
Regards.

I received .mov via email and iMessage and quicktime tells me it can't open and to click tell me more for help

I tried to open .mov from an email and imessage and quicktime says it cant open and to click tell me more but then it doesnt give any information. Ive never had a problem opening videos made from an iphone and emailed before. These arent long clips.

i downloaded Quicktime 7 on my imac but it still wont open?
MOV refers to the file container. (MOV is the generic Quicktime file container.) Unfortunately, there cam be many different problems here.
1) People with different system configurations can place audio and/or video data not compatible with your system into MOV files, send them to you, and they will not play if you do not have the proper codecs installed for the QT 7 player to play them. Therefore, it is normally recommended that you determine what audio and video compression formats were used to create the original file. If the files do not open in either the QT X or QT 7 players, then you can check the file's "Get Info" window to see the the Mac OS X Finder recognizes the compressed data format(s). If it doesen't, them you can try opening the file in an alternate media player like VLC (free download) to see if that play can open, play, and/or tell you the compression formats. Lastly, if an app like VLC can't help you, you can download a generic media information app like MediaInfo (also a free download) to examine the file.
2) Once you know the compression formats use in the file and the Mac OS X version, and QT player being used, it is usuall a simple matter to determine if the compression format is supposed to be compatible with the QT player used for your Mac OS X or IOS device. This will tetermine whether or not the file can be played natively or must be converted to a different compression format for playback
3) In a very small percentage of cases, it may turn out that the file sent to you is either correpted or violates a security update installed on your system that prevents plaback. In the case of a corrupted file, about the only thing you can do as request the file be resent to you and hope for better results. In the case of a security problem, the file may be playable and/or convertable by a third-party application that gets around Apple's security trapping that prevents playback.
4) In the future, if you have problems opening or playing a file, please be more specific as to the nature of the problem. Specify the specific modal message you are getting or describe whether the player quits without a message, crashes, or will not open under one user account but does open under another.
and how would you resolve this issue on your iphone but updating quicktime player?
Your original message did not indicate that you were trying to play the file on your iPhone. Since the QT 7 player better handles the playback of "legacy" compression formats—especially under Mavericks—many users are advised to install the QT 7 player to handle compression formats no longer playable by the new AVFoundation software embedded in Mavericks. In addition, the QT 7 player is supported by an older 32-bit structure embedded in the Mac OS X v10.6, 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 operating systems which can still access third-party codecs if your system is configured for their use—another reason for keeping QT 7 installed on a computer system. Unfortunately, such options will not fix blayback problems on an IOS device where it is normally easier to convert unsupported compression formats to natively supported compression formats—primarily H.264 video with AAC audio in MOV, MP4, or M4V file containers.
