Applescript - prevent promo movie in QT Player

I think you used to be able to prevent the initial promo movie in QT Player by putting:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
launch -- bypasses the promo movie
activate
But that doesn't seem to work anymore. Is this another bug in QT 7, or is there another way to do this?

Thanks, JulieJulieJulie. The applescript worked. I wanted to do it that way so it will work on any machine I use it on. Thanks again.
Can I call you JulieJulie for short?

Quicktime in the WEB: multiple movies in one player script?

I saw somewhere an example where you could change the movie of the player with links, without refreshing the page, using javascript.
Anyone with the complete script out there?
Thanks

The options to disable it are there... but "only if you trust yourself not to blow up the whole Internet" (sarcasm).

Prevent firefox from using HTML5 player in Youtube.

How do I prevent firefox from using HTML5 player in youtube and use flash player instead? I am not sure what advantage HTML5 has over Flash. I noticed that Flash plays smoother than HTML5 and there is also a difference in quality of the video at low resolution. HTML5 does not seem to have smooth streaming compared to Flash. I may be wrong and I am ready to learn the advantage of HTML5 over Flash. But until then I wish to revert FF to its previous behavior of playing in flash.
If there is no way of bypassing this player (html5), how do I set it to ask before I allow it to play the video? I dislike videos playing automatically as soon as I open the link or any websites (reason why I set Flash player to 'ask to activate').
Thank you for your generous help. :)

I found info here
* http://www.ghacks.net/2014/07/17/google-enforces-html5-youtube-firefox-33-newer/ <blockquote><snip> .... What this means is that Google will enforce the use of HTML5 video on YouTube for all Firefox users who use Firefox 33 or newer on their system to do so (Note this means Firefox Nightly currently, but on Tuesday also Firefox Aurora).
Update: Google seems to have delayed the change. Firefox 34 users can switch players right now on the site. .... <snip></blockquote>
In fact must choose earlier than 33 so I used

Automator and Applescript to export movie with quicktime

I have started a work flow that asks for some files from a folder and then passes the list to an Applescript. So far the script is:
on run {input, parameters}
set output_items to {}
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
close every window
end tell
repeat with i in input
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open (i as alias)
-- HERE HERE HERE
close front document
end tell
end repeat
return output_items
end run
What I cannot figure out is how to get the file name excluding the extension where I have "HERE HERE HERE". I want to be able to get Quicktime to export the file to the desktop with the same file name as a Quicktime Movie. I cannot figure out how to do this...any help?

Thanks to both of you for your help.
I have made (well still in the process of finishing it up) a folder action work flow that takes movie files, converts them to an iPhone format and moves them to iTunes.
I would like to give credit where credit is due. If you guys are okay with it, can I add your info (name, email, profile on apple discussions, whatever) to the credits?
Thanks

Prevent saving movie from wiki

I would like students that have an IEP to access audio versions of my tests. I have created a blog that only allows those students access. When I copy the audio file to the blog entry and it loads in the browser window, there is a triangle on the right side of the movie controller. When I click on it, it will allow me to save the file as Source or Quicktime movie. I would like to prevent the users from saving the file as Source or QuickTime movie (for security reasons). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks for your efforts in advance.

Burn the iDVD project to disk which creates a video DVD that any PC capable of playinhg commercial video DVD will be able to play.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
<pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

Applescript Quicktime export movie to image sequence

I am having troubles with Quicktime 7.1 and Tiger using Applescript.
Ultimately I want to export a movie as image sequence as tiff at a certain fps.
I've downloaded the Applescript/Quicktime script collection. When I try to run the "Export to DV Stream.scpt" script, it gives me "an unknown error occurred"
Looking at the event log, the problem with their file is on the line
"export movie 1 to new_file as DV stream using settings preset "NTSC 44.1 kHz"
If I truncate the options at the end to say "export movie 1 to new_file as DV stream"
it works fine, but then I can't select presets.
I don't want to export as DV, rather as image sequence, I thought I could just modify script to read
export movie 1 to new_file as image sequence using settings {Format:"TIFF", fps:15}
It compiles fine, but saves images as .png at 30 fps,
I've studied the dictionary, but didn't get anywhere.
Thanks in advance

Something definitely got hosed in QT 7.1's scriptable interface. A script I had running perfectly in 7 broke on 7.1. I basically just shuffled objects and commands around like you did until I it finally worked. :/ If you have a copy of the last version handy (perhaps on one of your other macs) then I suggest loading and using that for now.
Edit: Oh yeah, and you can't specify settings the way you have it as a record ({Format:"TIFF", fps:15}) even though that compiles, the dictionary states that the 'using settings' parameter is a file containing settings. You would create such a settings file using another script with the 'save export settings' command (note this only saves the most recently successfully manually-attempted export settings)

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.
