Audio only with default Quicktime for Windows from FCP7

This has happened before and I know one solution is to Export>Quicktime Conversion
However I'm curious to know what is going on when I Export>Quicktime Movie and then give this file to someone to open on a Windows PC they only get sound and no visuals. They have Quicktime Player.
Wondered if this is a bug on my system or if others have experienced this, The movie file plays fine on my iMac.

What codec are you working in (Sequence Settings) ? The export method you described will produce a master file with the same codec. That codec must also be present on the Windows machine to play it back. In this case it would appear that they do not have it.

Help with Quicktime for Windows 7 64-bit

I am having a problem with the latest version of Quicktime for Windows. When I launch Quicktime and then 'click' on any icon for download I can see the sentence, "Connecting to iTunes" and then I am redirected to download iTunes... Problem is that I already have iTunes.
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and up to date.
iTunes version 11.1.3.8
Quicktime version 7.74.80.86
I Unibstalled both products, using the guide provided from Apple. I, then downloaded and installed iTunes first, then I downloaded Quicktime and installed it. I had the same issue. Next, I went to Control Panel/ "programs and Features, used the "change" option and clicked "repair". I did this for both iTunes and Quicktime. They ran fine. No error messages, nothing in event logs, no trace of an install log to try to diagnose this myself. Does anyone have this problem, or can anyone help me to start the diagnosis necessary to solve this?
Second issue came to light after all of the steps I performed; Before, I would conect my iPhone to a USB port and iTunes would launch automatically. Now, it does not. I see my 4s in devices and I see a normal state using device manager. So, I went to "Default Programs" and selected my 4s and the dropdown window no longer has an option for iTunes. However, when I go to choose a default program for audeo, etc. the dropdown mwnu has an option for iTunes.
Thanks for reading and I would like some help.

I found the problem and the solution. In Internet Explorer ver 11 / manage plugin's, make sure that the Apple plugin's are enabled. My setings were incorrect, the plugin ws siabled. Enabled it and all is well!

QuickTime for Windows -- Default MPEG player changed

I just installed iTunes on Win 7 Ultimate 64. Along with it came QuickTime, but doing so changed my default player for MPEGs from Windows Media Player to QuickTime. I did not want that. I want to change the default back to WMP. How can I do that?

Open the QuickTime control panel, you should be able to make the change in there. If not Start>Set Program Access and Defaults or the Folder Options control panel under File Types, if you have these in Windows 7

Issues with playback on Quicktime for Windows

Hi All,
I created a little slide show within iPhoto containing 290 pictures and lasting about 30 minutes. I exported it to a .mov file which was added as a video clip within FCE. Next, in FCE, I added background music, some video transitions and exported the completed project using H.264 codec. The .mov file plays fine on the Mac within the Quicktime Player. But not so hot on a Windows XP Pro laptop. In the final 90 seconds of the 30 minute movie, the screen goes green and the audio is replaced with static.
I have all of the updates for my workstation and the tools that I am using, (FCE, iPhoto). I have tried different versions of Quicktime for Windows, re-exported the movie from FCE and tried playback on different XP systems all with the same result.
Again, the first 28:30 of the movie plays perfect and looks great, but that last 90 seconds goes nuts.
Unfortunately, the presentation of this video requires that I play it back on the PC laptop.
Thanks for offering any advice you may have.

Hello,
I am currently trying to play the file directly from the computer's hard drive. I will take your advice and export again as an mpeg. Any advice on what mpeg settings render the best looking videos?

Problems installing QuickTime 7 with iTunes 6 for Windows XP

I am encountering problems with the latest version of QuickTime (version 7.0.3) together with iTunes 6.
Installation is fine except at the end when I receive an error message saying ’1628: Failed to complete installation’. It appears that both programmes have been installed and work but I am unable to uninstall them. Neither program appears in the Add/Remove programs list when they should be. If I select ‘Uninstall QuickTime’ from the Program list the uninstalation process starts but stops half way through.
I have tried downloading QuickTime standalone version but this is exactly the same. I removed the QuickTime folder, and all its contents, from C:\Program Files\QuickTime and installed the previous version (6.5.2) which installs and uninstalls fine.
I am at a loss as to why the latest version is causing problems.
Would appreciate any help or advice as to why this is happening?
Thanks

Will a 2nd Gen Shuffle sync with iTunes 6 for
Windows?
NO... 2nd Gen shuffle requires iTunes 7.0.2 or later

Quicktime for Windows cannot keep up with HD video

I just bought a new Aiptek GO-HD video camera. It records in H.264 format using .MOV files as the container. I don't know the specifics of the files, but they are 1280x720 and the files run at approximately 2 GB per hour.
The camera came with a decoder to allow Windows Media Player to play back the files, which works OK (the quality is fine, but the controls don't always work). The CODEC is identified as: NewSoft MPEG Video Decoder Filter (H.264/AVC). Windows Media Player shows up using 80% of the dual cores (40% of each).
When I try to play back the files with the current version of Quicktime, the video is a bit choppy. Quicktime shows up using 60% of the dual cores, but appears to use more of one than the other (neither is pegged at 100% though)
The files play back fine on a relatively high end Mac - I'm not sure if the different is that it's the Mac version of QT or that it's higher end hardware.
Two questions:
First - is it a CPU limitation or a Quicktime for Windows limitation?
Second - if I buy Quicktime Pro, will I be able to edit and encode the video without the stuttering?
I'm willing to accept temporary issues as long as I can produce videos that will be playable on the right hardware (or converted to other formats). I might eventually get a Mac Mini if that will work for editing these files.
If you want to check it out, I've temporarily posted a 13 MB video to http://afterburner.net/temp/cameratest/cameratest.mov
Many thanks,
Rick

Sample file from the creators of the camera.
Movie Properties window of QuickTime Pro shows H.264 but the Movie Inspector windows shows AVC with some garbage characters.
I was able to edit either file (copy/paste) without issue. I also exported a portion of your file using AIC (Mac format) and will test later with other codecs.
H.264 Video is CPU intensive and my 1.4GHz Mac mini couldn't play the file without dropping frames and the fan kicked into high gear.
So you'll need a powerful machine to view the file but an average one could do the editing (as long as you don't mind load noises and dropped frames during playback).
It's a $300 camera that does HD? Amazing.

64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows

I'm running 64-bit version of Windows 7 via bootcamp. I'm running 64-bit version of Microsoft Office 2010. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed 7.7.3 something. I can play the file on the desktop no problem, but when I try to insert the file into Powerpoint or play a file that I inserted previously into Powerpoint on a different system, it says either Quicktime unavailable or you need a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert the file.
So, exactly where is a 64-bit version of Quicktime for Windows because apparently the one on the Apple website for Windows is not 64-bit. Everyone keeps saying download the 64-bit version of Quicktime. Great, tell me where it is. There is no option for 64-bit on the website. It doesn't even say it is 64-bit. It just says its compatible with Windows 7. Powerpoint 2010 64-bit MUST have a 64-bit version of Quicktime in order to insert or play any Quicktime file. The OS doesn't give a rats @ss one way or the other.
The file I previously inserted was playing on a system that apparently had a 32-bit version of Powerpoint installed. That machine defaults to VLC player on the desktop. It has no issues with the file. It's the Quicktime Player mismatch on my machine that is giving me grief. If I knew Office was going to be a PITA if I installed the 64-bit version I would have stuck with the 32-bit version.
Ideas? Where is the 64-bit version? How do you tell it is 64-bit? How do you force the installer to make sure it ONLY installs a 64-bit version of it?

If Microsoft merely off their own decided that only a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be supported by them and did not both checking such a beast existed then this is perfectly believable behavior on the part of Microsoft and they should roast in **** for it.
If Apple led Microsoft to believe that a 64-bit version of QuickTime was going to be released like a 64-bit version of iTunes for Windows has been released but then backed out then this is equally believeable behaviour on the part of Apple and then equally the guilty parties at Apple should roast in ****.
It should be noted that the 64-bit version of iTunes is able to play videos via the 32-bit version of QuickTime. This suggests Microsoft programmers are weak with the force. This would tend to support my theory that Microsoft despite being the biggest software company in the world are better at making hardware than software.
Moving on to trying to be more constructive…
Clearly as things stand using the existing and only official version of QuickTime for Windows which is 32-bit only is not going to work in 64-bit Office. It might therefore be worth looking at trying the following.
Uninstall completely Apple's 32-bit QuickTime for Windows (if installed currently)
Install QuickTime Alternative - see http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm
I have no idea if QuickTime Alternative is 64-bit, I have no idea if it will work in 64-bit Office even if it is 64-bit. However it does work in Internet Explorer for Windows, it is free and therefore will cost you nothing to try. If it does not work you can then always uninstall it.
As another even more abtruse solution, you could try loading your PowerPoint file in to the free iWorks i.e. KeyNote via a free iCloud account. It will allow importing PowerPoint files and will even work in Internet Explorer.

Launching SAPGUI for Windows from WD application

Hi,
I have managed to launch an SAPGUI transaction "BRF+" at the click of a link on my Web Dynpro application. For this, I used the sample code from Reg calling Transaction code in Webdynpro ABAP
However, this opens the SAPGUI for HTML, where the transaction is not rendered correctly. The display is restricted only to a small of the IE screen, and no button clicks are working.
Is there any way to fix this? Or, is it possible to launch SAPGUI for Windows from a WD application?
Thanks, Rohan.

Hi..
You are accessing Tcode in browser, it means we have to use sap gui for html only not windows.
The display is restricted only to a small of the IE screen
Do you mean, tcode opens in minimize window mode? if yes, then in create_external_window method , try to maximize the window by default.

Problems Downloading Quicktime For Windows

I have made numerous attempts over the past few weeks to download QuickTime for Windows XP. Each attempt results in the following:
I end up at a page that says "Your download will start automatically" and "Thankyou for downloading QuickTime."
Of course,the download never starts. I've tried downloading using Mozilla Firefox as well as IE7, both the latest versions with all patches applied. Javascript is turned on in IE7.
Even after waiting a few hours, nothing gets downloaded, or even starts to download.

As I have a DSL connection, I am not using any acceleration software, at least not on my own Pc. Perhaps my service provider is, but I have no control over that.
As to pop-up blockers, I turned them off in both IE7 and Mozilla 2.0.0.3, all to no avail. My software firewall is setup to always advise me of anything that it is attempting to block, and no messages have appeared on my screen.
I've tried downloading Quicktime on three different computers, two at one location, the third two miles away from the other two Pc's.
So far, I have had no success.
Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
Aloha from Hawaii,

Grid Control only 32-bit available for Windows

Couple of questions I was hoping to get some help with. Client is a windows only shop. We're installing Windows 2008 R1 64-bit, but Grid Control is only available with 32-bit for Windows. This will definitely cause issues, is the only around it to either load 32-bit, or is there any other option. And when will 64-bit be available for Windows? Thanks in advance.

Grid Control itself is a 32 bit application . It installs and works furpectly well on 64 bit Windows. I doubt we will ever see a 64-bit version of GC in the 10g series ... perhaps when they swap out OC4J with WLS and rebrand it as 11g they might put in a 64-bit version, but quite honestly there is little need for the 64-bit capability in the middle tier.
However, the database part can, and should, be swapped out for a 64-bit database. Which is supported in the install method.
I STRONGLY ENcourage the following sequence:
1) Install 11gR1 database 64 bit, preferably patched to 11.1.0.7
2) Install Grid Control 10.2.0.2.1 (note the .1) for Windows using the 'into an existing database' option
3) Upgrade Grid Control to 10.2.0.5 (but that MAY require the 11.1.0.7 patch - check the README)
I STRONGLY DIScourage using the 'create with new database' as it will take a whole lot longer, requires upgrading and/or patching the database anyway, and potentially leaves you with an obsolete DB to contend with in the long run.
I also encourage skipping 10.2.0.4 if possible - it's more than a ruddy pain to patch to that one. I generally plan on 5-6 hours if I am forced to install a 10.2.0.4 GC from scratch, whereas the process I list above takes just over 2 hours to get to a 10.2.0.5

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, wont let me uninstall or update.Help!

Quicktime for windows doesn't work, won't let me uninstall (tells me fatal errro) or update (tells me it encountered an error on installation). Help!I am running Windows XP on an Intel pentium PC. Any ideas? Dvora

When you get this fatal error uninstalling, try a full removal of iTunes and related programs with an installer clean up of any that do not uninstall cleanly:
Here is a method:
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.

Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files?

Can QuickTime for Windows read .vob files so I can edit them? I have some .vob files that were recorded from old VHS tapes and want to share the content with others. Can I read in the .vob into QuickTime, edit them, and then save them as mpeg or wmv movies?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
There are several options. I'll just post what works for me.
Perian is a small component for Quicktime Player (and other apps that use QT) this adds many more codecs that Quicktime PLayer can play.
http://perian.org/
Movist is a player, much more capable than QT (play lists, remember last played file, more control for sub titles etc) It can play all QT formats using Quicktime's codecs including formats when Perian is installed , but also uses FFmpeg to decode nearly anything you can throw at it.
http://code.google.com/p/movist/
VLC is another player. Not as elegant as Movist, also play nearly anything you throw at it.

I have been trying to put some of my music and artwork, on youtube. Youtube says you need an encoder to upload music. But the problem is the only encoders available are for windows. Please help, thank you

I have been trying to put some of my music and artwork, on youtube. Youtube says you need an encoder to upload music. But the problem is the only encoders available are for windows. Please help, thank you

The formats YouTube supports can be found here:
http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?answer=55744
Since YouTube supports AAC, the file format iTunes uses by default, it's probable you don't need any sort of converter.
If you continue to have problems with uploading to YouTube, I'd suggest you ask for assistance in their forums:

Quicktime for Windows -- on Vista -- opens a .mov movie once, then won't open the move and Quicktime won't even open itself. I've installed the latest version, and upgraded it to Plus as well.

I am having trouble opening .mov videos with Quicktime on my PC with Vista. I installed the latest version of Quicktime for Windows (V.7.7), and upgraded it to Pro. It will open a .mov file once, then after that it will not open any .mov file and in fact, when I try to open the Quicktime player it will not open itself. If I switch users to Admin, it all works fine, but when I go back to my regular role (where all of my preferences and programs are there for me to use), the same thing happens. An .mov file will open once, then never again, and the Quicktime player seems to be disabled.
I've tried different .mov files, so it's not a corrupt file that's the problem. And, in the past (a couple of Quicktime versions ago, I guess), all of this worked just fine.
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated!

I have the exact same problem. They play on my Mac under Snow Leopard. Transfer to Vista gets a window with black and white and some other noise. No sound either.
