AppleTV Not playing .Mov files that will play in iTunes

After Major Hard Disc issues I had to use a Data Rescue II to retrieve the files.
All seems fine now except Data Recover II converted all of the m4v to mov files?
They play fine from iTunes, but apple tv does is giving me an error that file format is not recognized or it just does not load...
File Details are as follows:
Kind: QuickTime Movie File
Profile: Low Complexity
Bit Rate: 158 kbps
Video Dimesions:1280x720
Video Codec: h.264
Thanks in advance peeps!

what's the framrate?
bear in mind that just because something is in itunes, does not mean it is appletv compatible.
also, have you tried simply changing the extension back to .m4v ?

How to convert to file that will play in quicktime

I just imported and edited a .mov and mp3 audio file in logic express. Now, how can I save this into a type of file that will play outside of Logic?

What I meant was bouncing whatever you want to play in Quicktime - you can bounce a whole song (digital mixdown) or you can solo a track/mute tracks that you don't want included and then use the cycle bar to determine a length to mix down.
When you hit the 'bounce' button or choose it from the menu you'll have a series of options to choose from - whether you want a compressed file (MP3, AAC) or uncompressed (wav of aiff) and so on so you can choose the appropriate type. If you choose the desktop for the destination of the file you can drag it over the Quicktime icon in your dock (if its not there you can put it there) and it will play in Quicktime.

How to import .mov files that wont play in QT (but play with vlc player)

I have a batch of .mov files of which QT only plays the audio (video is blank) - same thing when I try to open in Final Cut Express HD. I am able to open these with VLC player. How do I convert these files so that I can edit them in FCE? I am suspecting maybe these are HD files and the problem is related to that.

perhaps, it was 'too self-evident' for the sales-person, that FCE is meant for camcorder-imports with a few consumer formats only, DV (as from miniDV), HDV, AVCHD (=last two get converted automatically to AIC) - done.
.. in my main area, iMovie, we permanently read, how people are surprised, that those editors are made _by concept_ as camcorder-editors, not 'file-editors' .. Apple/mov='editable by Apple/FCE' is a fallacy ..

ITunes 10.6.3 not importing mp3 files but will play the mp3 files

Hi
I recently updated my iTunes to v10.6.3 on my mac. However, I cant seem to add new music to my iTunes library. Dropping and dragging doesnt work even though the '+' curser appears and importing music using command + O doesnt work either. There is no indication of the music being analysed or anything.
However, when I click on an mp3 file it opens and plays in iTunes but will not be added to the library. If I click on the mp3 file again from finder, it will play in iTunes from the last point..
Does anyone have any ideas of wrong? Its frustrating me because I need to sync music to my iPhone and I cant
Thanks

Ye playing the file should automatically add it to iTunes but its not since I updated iTunes.
The music plays and I can see the the time bar in the window on the top of iTunes but the file is not located in the iTunes library or anywhere in iTunes so I cant right click it.
At the moment the mp3 file is on my desktop. Normally dropping and dragging it into iTunes adds it into my 'iTunes' folder in the 'Music' folder.. but this is not happening. I've tried manually adding the file into the 'iTunes' folder using the appropriate folder titles etc.. but iTunes will not detect the new mp3's. Wierd!!
I think I might just have to re-install iTunes

Quicktime not playing .mov files

i have a problem with quicktime. it doesn't play .mov files. if i try to play .mov files that are embedded in a .pdf file, a window opens but stays blank, although the progress bar moves. if i try to open the files in quicktime, there's no window, just the progress bar that moves. i run the latest version. i've already tried reinstalling - didn't help, uninstalling completely and installing - didn't help.
help?
many thanks!

Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the *QuickTime Movie* box. This box will enable you to play .mov files.
Click the OK button.

Are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

are there any digital/video frames that will play .mov files?

Hi
Not understanding Your Question - I can only guess
.mov - are no specific Video Format (Codec) it is a container (read folder) and can hold Codecs many program can use and NOT.
QuickTime Player use to open many of them - try this and if it opens then Open Inspector [ cmd + I ] and read
• Video Format (Codec): nnnnnnnnnn
• Frame Rate: yyyyyyy
What does they say
When QT-Players don't open - I use VLC-Player (Google it and download for free). It use to take most of the Codecs.

Quicktime will not play .mov files since Lion installation

When using Quicktime 10.6, I am receiving the error message "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." when attempting to open .mov files. Prior to installing OS X Lion, there were no issues with playing .mov files.

I'm having the same problem. Using a clean install of Mac OS X (10.7) Lion and QuickTime 10.1.
If I go to finder:
I can click on Icon's Play arrow and the Movie will play in the icon.
I can click on the file icon and press the spacebar and the file will play in QuickLook.
If I doubleclick on the icon to open the file in QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
If I right click on the icon and click open with... QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
MBP, Mac OS X (10.7)

How can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

how can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

In quicktime, I would try File -> Export -> Audio. It will create an audio file. Then drop it onto your playlist into iTunes. Burn the list from itunes with File -> Burn to disk and then select Audio CD.
If you have Quicktime 7 it should be easier and export to AIFF directly

After buying and downloading videos from itunes, how can I burn them to a DVD that will play in a standard DVD player? I have tried burning the playlist from itunes, and the disc would not play in anything I put it into.

Out of excitement, I bought both seasons of the tv show "Sym Bionic Titan" from the itunes store, since I can't find it anywhere else, in hopes of being able to burn them to dvds and watch them. When I burned the disc from itunes, it would not play in any player I put it in. Not my dvd player, not my ps3, nothing. So the only place I can watch the show is on my computer, which is definitely not what I had in mind when I purchased it. Is there a way to burn the videos to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

Unfortunately, the recording & movie industry does not respect the rights of the people who make them money, and thus you can only use the paid-for content in ways they see fit. Even if I lived in a bunker where no one else could possibly see the movie I paid for, therefor I'm not 'sharing it illegally', I would still not be allowed in a blue moon to copy that movie to DVD for TV viewing. Someone will tell you to get an AppleTV. How about Apple give us one for free? Until this changes, people wanting to use their content in multiple locations will continue to download music & movies via torrents, legally or illegally.

Share a movie that will play on Kodak M820 EasyShare Picture Frame

I've been looking for a way to export a movie that will play on this picture frame, and although the box says it will play MOV, AVI, MPG and a few other formats, in the fine print under troubleshooting it says it might not actually play these formats if they didn't come from a KODAK camera. I've researched all afternoon and found no useful information since my quicktime pro version doesn't have the settings mentioned in other threads all over the web.
I spent way too much on this if it doesn't play movies I can export from imovie 09, or another converter. Any suggestions by the amazing pros? I'm frustrated beyond measure...

I'm making progress. I looked up Kodak Easyshare camera specs for their movies, and made them match. I now have stripes running across the screen, big fat flashing ones, and that is a huge improvement over "file format not supported."
I did Share > Export using Quicktime > Settings : Mpeg-4, 13 fps, limit to 5000 kpbs, no sound, quality Medium, Dimensions 640x480.
Gives a .mov file.
Maybe this gives y'all something to work with.

I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help!

I have a .mov file that plays on my mac but when someone tries to play it on a pc, they get an error 128 message. Help! Please!

This is not the problem. We are using quicktime on the pc's and the mac. I also tried to open the file on the pc with other programs and it doesn't recognize the file. The file opens fine on my mac but I cannot save it as a new file. It says that "the end of the file was reached." The recording was made in iShowU then edited in Quicktime Pro.

Rendered movies won't play "...is not a movie file"

Hi -
The files I rendered can't be opened in Quicktime because "it is not a movie file". I rendered an MPEG4, H264 and Quicktime with No compression. None of them would play.
What causes this?
How can I fix it?
TIA your input -

OS X(10.5.11), AE CS3.

Todd -
AAARGH! I've reported on the wrong version. I'm not using CS3 - it's CS4 (0.0.2). My big apologies.
Thanks for the response.
I tested QT with similar files that were made with AE7. There is no issue at all.
There's something with these files that were make with AE CS4.
I was just wondering if anyone else had similar issues crop up.
Thanks

How do i burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

How do I burn a movie to a dvd that will play in a dvd player?

If you want to burn a video file which doesn't have any copy protection (DRM), there is a great free App called 'burn OSX'. Google it if you want to use it.
If its a iTunes movie, and you want to play it on your TV you could use a cable connected to your iPod/iPhone/iPad or use an Apple TV box.

Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.
