Audio but no Video on a Quicktime ".mov" file

I captured a clip from my video camera, which is HDV 1080i60, using Final Cut Pro HD. I can play my video clip on my G5 , in Quicktime, but when I try to play the video on my MacBook Pro I get a white screen and just the audio plays. I tried importing the clip into iMovie HD on the laptop and get the same results... audio but no video.
I tried downloading and re-installing Quicktime 7.1.2, and NOTHING! Same thing still happens!
Any help would bre GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Ezi

Tried what you mentioned in the last post. I checked the Quicktime folder in both machines and they match exactly.
As an experiment, I tried copying the contents of the Quicktime folder of the G5 to the MacBook pro after re-installing Quicktime 7.1.2 again... and NOTHING! Still get just a blank white screen and audio.
When I do the "Get info" from Quicktime, it tells me the format is: HDV 1080i60
I really thought copying the contents, ALL the contents, was really going to do it! I'm losing my mind at this point!
Again, thank you so much for the help... In the meantime, I will endeavor to persevere!

Use a different browser?
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.
Even if it's just to redownload the driver. I recommend another browser.

No video when playing QuickTime MOV file in iTunes

I received a QuickTime MOV file from a business associate who transferred it from his Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to his Mac. When I load up the file in iTunes on my Win XP machine, it will play back the audio, but there is no video. When I try to play it back in QuickTime, a window comes up telling me that additional software is needed. When I click the button to go download the software, a browser window comes up listing about 15 different products -- with no indication of which if any will solve the problem. I don't know for certain that any of them will, and I don't have time to download 15 products to test each one. Is there not a more simple way to find out what I need and where to download it? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this file to a friendlier format? This is video of a business event that we need to edit for distribution.

Thanks. That explains it. The person who made the .wmv file says it was made with Camtasia Studio. Do you have any idea what he might have done for it to choose this MSS2 codec over something more universally compatible?
Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.

Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
- QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one. iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
Anyone else see similar behavior? Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

Front Row plays audio but not video of MP4 H264 AAC files

SL 10.6.6
Here's the problem:
Take an MP4 movie file encoded with H264 and AAC thats plays with no problems in QT, iTunes, Front Row
Open this file in QT7Pro, add a mask using a GIF file then export as MP4 using video and audio pass through to avoid re-encoding
The new video file plays OK in QT and iTunes but only plays the audio track in Front Row - the video is just presented as a blank screen
This happens to every file i've tried it with.
I've tried trashing all front row caches/prefs/app support folders, installing/uninstalling/re-installing perian. i've tried changing the file extension to .mov .m4v .3gp - still the same problem the file plays perfectly except in Front Row
All the posts I can find on this topic seem to refer to subtitles causing a problem - these files have no subtitle track
Any suggestions?

I have faced the same problem exactly. Some seasons and one movie I have detected so far, do not show any video at all. If I open the same files in iTunes, they show ok. If I open the same files in QuickTime thought no video also. I guess it has something to do with QuickTime then. Try it yourselves in order to see if it is the same problms with you guys. If that is the case I will try to extract an older version of QuickTime from the installation package via Pacifist and see if that works.
Even if it doesn't work I am pretty sure they will come up with a new update fixing this, but the point is that Apple isn't used in making bugged updates, up until recent. What is wrong with them lately?
Anyway, as soon as I have news in the afternoon I will let you know

Only imports audio, no video when using DSLR .mov files

I just upgraded to CS6 on my Mac Lion. I created a project using the DSLR settings and tried to import a .mov video clip taken from my Canon 5D camera. Strange thing is it only imported the audio and not the video. I tried many of clips and just audio.
As tests, I tried importing a .mpeg clip from an HDV camcorder and it worked fine. I also changed the extension of the DSLR clip to .mpeg and it still didn't work. The DSLR clips imported fine in CS4, but not CS6. Also as another test, I tried importing on a different Mac computer using Premiere Pro CS6 (from creative cloud) and it imported perfectly. So I'm not sure why it's doing it on my computer? The files open fine in QuickTime.
The only thing that worked was I exported the .Mov files from the DSLR to a HDV .Mov file and it DID import correctly. I don't want to have to go through that step everytime though (or loss the quality)
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

I too am having this problem. The video I am trying to import is a .MOV file from a Canon 5D Mark III. When I check the properties of the file in Premiere Pro 5.5, this is what it says:
File Path: S:\Photos\5D mark 3\Video\0F2A0089

As you can see PP 5.5 notices the video; it even tells me the # of frames in the video but it won't display it. It might be worth saying the video files from my Canon XF100 work just fine. This is extremely frustrating. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Convert Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie?

I have Flash CS3 that came with Adobe Creative Suite. I Never
used it but can it convert a Quicktime (.mov) file to a Flash movie
so I can play it on the web? If so where do I start? I also want
the viewer to be able to stop and start the Flash movie. I guess I
need a skin or something?
Also I'm confused about the difference between a FLV and SWF
file. Which one do I need for the web?
Thanks,

not really - you can export the MOV to an FLV and run that
through the flash player at runtime. You
can also import the MOV into flash doc. depends.

Flash is not a video editor - i would get yourself quicktime
Pro ($30 US) and open your MOV and
export as an Image Sequence - then from flash import the
first image into it - flash will detect the
numerically named files and prompt you to import them all -
they will end up as individual images in
keyframes on the timeline.
But sounds to me like you are trying to use flash to edit
video - not recommended as flash was never
intended to be used this way.

Audio but no video on .mov files

I'm trying to watch a tutorial disc (working with Ableton Live). The video files are .mov, the disc comes with the install for Quicktime 7.03. I have Quicktime Pro 7.12. When I try to play the video files, I get audio but no video.
When I try to play the files in VLC Player, I get video but an audio error (and no audio)...
Anyone familiar with this issue (I've searched the forums and found similar issues, but nothing the same as this...)?

Nothing about Sorenson 3 (video track) AAC (audio) or Apple BMP (image format layer) that would keep the file from playing on your machine.
Do you open these .mov files directly from the CD (double click) or is there some app that is used from the CD to play them?
Try a double click and test the files while logged in under a different user account.

Audio but no video for .mov file.

For Windows XP (Home Edition 5.1.26700 Service Pack 3 Build 2600):
My QuickTime Player 7.6.6 shows a window but the window is empty only the audio is present.
The same or similar is the case in VLC, RealPlayer, and DivX Player.
Additional information from my Mac OS X:
- The .mov file plays perfectly on my iMac in my QuickTime Player 10.0(114).
- Cmd-I reports for the .mov file: codecs: H264,AAC.
- The file is produced by AddMovie version 1.8.6 from a .flv file and the developer states:
’AddMovie uses Mac OS technology "out of the box" so to speak. In other words all it does is call system functions that in turn call the codecs installed on your system to do their job. I don't write any codecs (i.e. compressor/decompressors - i.e. exporters/importers) - other third party developers do that. So, getting the output of AddMovie to be compliant for other software depends on your choice of these third party add-ons, and the selection of them in the preferences window.‘
- Perian 1.2.1 and Flip4Mac 2.3.4.1 are installed.
- VLC version 1.1.2 is installed and it plays the .mov file with audio but no video like QuickTime Player in Windows.

Thanks again, QuickTimeKirk.
I think the audio rate was to blame. I changed the audio format in QuickTime Player 7 Pro from (I think) Linear PCM to AAC and the kbps number from the default value 128 to 64. Then I changed the mark for the video rate from automatic to the option of setting a limit and set a suitable limit. That way I was able to control the total kbit/second rate for the exported .mov file so that it got a reasonable size.
When I compare the source .flv file with the produced .mov file for the case when they have about the same total kbit/second rate, I can see that the .mov file is smoother or has less detail than the .flv file although the difference is not big. Increasing the video rate limit in QuickTime Player 7 Pro causes a bigger .mov file with better quality to be produced.

I just installed OuickTime 7 Pro in my Mac Pro Ver 10.6.8. The video I am trying to view is codec h264 Compression dvcpro 50 hd. I have audio but no video. It says I need other software with QuickTime for it to work. Dose anyone know what I need?

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

H.264-Audio but no video

I recently updated my Quicktime Pro with the new H.264 update, but when I watch a movie, I get audio but no video. Any ideas?

It may be MP4 but what codecs? Use get info while playing report back what it says for audio and video codecs. MP4 can be h.264, DivX, 3ivX, XVid, MS non conforming own version and on it goes.....

...Here you can see "TV OUT", where it says "widescreen" make sure is ON.
I have my iPad Video set to "widescreen", but it didn't make a difference when I briefly tried it with a HDMI connection from my iPad2 to my Samsung TV. The video was letterboxed as was the iPad homepage when it was displayed on my big TV.
I didn't try a streaming video so I don't know if that would be letterboxed or not. I do have a movie on my iPad and I'll give it a try (perhaps tomorrow). If it isn't letterboxed, I'll post it here.
Overall (at least via HDMI), I was very unimpressed with the process. The picture seemed washed out and the resolution certainly suffered. I don't remember what my test video was, but the results were what one would expect with a SD signal. At this moment I don't see any serious usage of this process for me.

FLVPlayback audio but no video when streaming

I have a flash program that loads an external flv dynamically. I first create an empty movie clip then I attach an instance of the FLVPlayback component using Moviclip.attachMovie();. Then i control the FLVPlayback component with AS2. I have a play and pause button, a scrubber, and a loading progress bar. None of these are components. When I publish and preview the file in Flash CS4, Adobe Flash Player 10, and all my internet browsers everything works fine, all the buttons, the multiple functions of the scrubber, and even the loading progress bar. However when I uploaded all the files from my computer to my company's server and tested it from there, I recieved audio but no video. All of the various controls still worked for the audio but I couldn't see anything on the stage. If I waited for the loading progress bar to complete and then reloaded the external flv then I got video, but the purpose of this program is to stream the video and I cannot have the users waiting for a preloader. Please help me to get my video to show and not just my audio.
If you want to look at my FLVPlayback code here it is:
_root.createEmptyMovieClip("lesson_mc",-16381);
lesson_mc.attachMovie("FLVPlayback","lesson_video",0);
lesson_mc.lesson_video.contentPath = page.attributes.url;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoSize = true;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoRewind = false;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.autoPlay = true;
lesson_mc.lesson_video.bufferTime = 20;

I don't know what cross-domain issues are, but i had double checked my flv's path/file name and since reading your post have checked it again.
Heres the thing though, I can still get video, so it can't be these problems. I previously wrote this:

But I can't get it before it finishes loading. I want to stream it.

Quicktime Movie File/ MPEG-4 Video File

how come for some of my video podcasts they are in teh MPEG-4 Video file format, while others are in Quicktime Movie File format?
i was j/w this because i noticed it when i jus recently downloaded new podcasts (it was first time downloading a podcast from iTunes 7.0.2) and i was jus wonderin if there is any way to get it into MPEG-4 Video File....because i already right clicked and went to "convert selection for ipod" but then it says it is already in that format, but it is in Quicktime Movie File....
any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Brandon

Quicktime files can be MPEG-4 video, and should be
transferable to your iPod.
If you get info on the video file in question what
does it say?
when i click get info it says the kind/type is a quicktime movie file.....i was jus mainly wondering why some podcast videos have quicktime video file, while others have the mpeg-4 video file...its almost like and OCD (obssesive complusive disorder) thng for me.....but as long as they can still transfer to the ipod i should be fine....

Audio, but no video when compressing FCPX files

I am trying to compress a 4-minute video for use on YouTube. I send the edited video from FCPX to Compressor 4 and have used several of the preset settings (H.264 for Video Podcasting and HD 720p Video Sharing). In both cases, the .mov file has audio, but no video. When I use the Export Media option to export the raw .mov file, there is video and audio. Any idea why this is happening? What are the best settings to use for YouTube? When I send it straight to YouTube via FCPX (by logging into my YouTube account), everything works fine. But I need a separate .mov file to send around elsewhere. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm guessing Warwick is correct.
One other thought: if you have an "Export Media" option, your version of FCPX is not current and should be updated. Afterwards, Id suggest running repair permissions in Disk Utility.

My experience is the 720p YT and Vimeo presets are fine for uploading. If your project is 1080p, you'll have that option as well.
By send around elsewhere, the usual tradeoffs between quality and file size apply. Usually h.264 – either Quick Time or MP4 at the original resolution and frame rate – provides the best tradeoff. That is, unless someone is going to be showing it in a movie theater.
Good luck.
