Audio plays but video does not........HDV

I have quicktime clips on my Macbook that are HDV 1080i format. When I try and play them in quicktime just the audio plays.....no video. Now I also have an iMac G5 desktop and quicktime plays these clips without problem. When I try to play them from my macbook a box pops up and says some components may be missing and it directs me to this web page:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html
From here I don't know what to download in order to make it play my HDV clips.
please help. Thank you very much

AIC is required to view High Definition video on the Mac OS and it should already be installed on your machine.
Open the file using QuickTime Player. Open the Movie Info window (Command-i) and report back what it shows for the video codec.
You can test HD playback of known "good" files by viewing any of the HD trailers from this link: http://www.apple.com/trailers/
If they work as they should then the problem is with your HD file and not your computer.

Problem: Audio from the video plays, but video does not show.

Hi,
I used the following code to play the video. The audio from the video plays displaying the player but there is no visual.
There is no problem with the video as I have tried several other videos with .mpg and .mov extensions.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.media.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MediaPanel {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame("Movie Player");
    static Player player = null;
    public MediaPanel(){
        try{ // method using URL
            URL url=new URL("file",null,"c:\\temp\\A.mpg");
            player = Manager.createRealizedPlayer(url);
        } catch( Exception e) {
            System.out.println(" Unable to create the audioPlayer :" + e );
        Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();
        frame.getContentPane().add( control, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
            public void windowClosing(WindowEvent we) {
                MediaPanel.stop();
                System.exit(0);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setSize( new Dimension(600,600) );
        frame.setVisible(true);
        player.start();
    public static void stop(){
        player.stop();
        player.close();
    public static void main( String args[]){
        MediaPanel panel = new MediaPanel();
}

use this code "Component control = player.getVisualComponent(); "
instead of this code " Component control = player.getControlPanelComponent();"
But if you want show both of them, modify as following
Component control1 = player.getControlPanelComponent();
Component control2 = player.getVisualComponent();
then add the two control (control1 & control2 ) to your JFrame panel

The audio in app videos does not play. It used to so I think it is an ios6 problem.

Tha audio in app videos does not play. It used to and works in Safari so my guess is it is an ios6 issue. Any ideas? Thanks.

From Finder menu select Preferences -> Sidebar tab, and tick External disks

Just started CS5.5 but video does not play in preview

I just got a brand new (to me) Panasonic AC130P Camera for my work / office and recorded some simple test shots.
All of the videos were shot in MTS format / AVCHD 1920 x 1080 (1.0).
When I put them in my bin then click on it, the small preview box on the top does not move and only audio comes through. When I click and drag it to the preview box, it only plays audio. I have messed around with the output icon to see if I can get something but all I can get are the waveforms etc to work, not the actual video I shot.
I'm maybe considred old scool (Worked with a lot of DV, SVHS, etc but never digital HD, this is my first time) so a lot of the HD settings are really new to me. Am I missing something here?
I have a feeling that it has to do with the video / graphics card but has anyone else experienced this before? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I did watch that video however, doesn't solve my issue of playback or preview.
I don't have issues with the sequence rather, I have an issue of the video showing up at all in Premiere. I don't see it in the preview or sequence monitors however I hear audio and the other output devices can read the RGB frequencies.an
I've used CS3 in the past and never had an issue like this. The footage that I took can be previewed through Windows Media Player and other devices but it seems like Premiere doesn't want to play it back for me, visually.
So visually you can see this:
As you can see my sequence cursor is placed right in the middle of the sequence with no video playing and also, the preview box for the clips in the bin also has the cursor in the middle which should also allow some sort of video to be shown. Instead, I have these bleek boxes of gray.
If anyone has experienced this, please let me know. Thank you!

Music Videos - have sound but video does not play in windows 7

I have windows 7 and the latest version of Itunes.
Most everything seems to be working ok, but when i try to play a music video i get the sound ok, but the video never starts, it just seems to stay on the first screen shot and never changes, even when the next video starts.

Not sure why, assume you got the 32-bit version if that is what you run, and this is quicktime? maybe you need a different codec or application for the movie format; or didn't associate the file type...
but if it deals with iTunes you will find more help in iTunes Windows:

When I push play the video does not play.

I have PP 2014. When I push play the video sometimes does not play. I just read here that the July 10th update may fix this, but the update keeps failing. Do i need to do something special?

Does your hardware meet the minimum requirements?

HT1399 I have a windows pc. It has windows 8 installed and I've installed the newest version of itunes but when I try to play anything, it won't. There's no sound and it says it's playing but it does not. What can I do?

I have a windows 8 computer and I installed the newest version of itunes because I used to have an ipod and I have a few purchases that I wanted to listen to. When I try to play them it says it's playing but I can't hear anything. It does not even says it's played the whole way. It just stays at the beginning. It won't let me pause. I checked my computer sound and there is nothing wrong with it. So there must be some software problem but idk what it is. If anyone can help I would appreciated. Thank-you

Hi DJBentley2011,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue burning CD's in iTunes. Is the playback issue only occurring on a specific device and does the disc show up correctly in iTunes? The article linked below should help you resolve optical drive issues, it walks you through identifying potential issues and provides troubleshooting suggestions.

I hope this helps.

Flash 8 encoder, No errors, but video does not play.

Hi I really hope I can get some advice on this situation I
have already wasted hours of time by encoding this project twice.
This is a 2 hour long wmv file. I am encoding it and can see the
video the entire time it encodes. Afterwards though if I load it
into VLC player or into flash and export, It doesnt play. I have
done another 2 hour file right before this one and it worked
perfectly. I tried re encoding the file and had the same outcome.
Can anyone offer any advice?

Not only is this problem (blank video on ALL encoded FLVs and
many downloaded FLVs) still unresolved, but the online tech support
makes it impossible to submit a support claim.
The CS3 Premium support link takes you to a page that only
has CS1 and CS2 listed.
Since those versions of CS didn't include Flash, you can't
pick Flash as the sub-product. So there's no correct way to submit
a query to tech support.
I keep trying, hoping someone will direct me to a useful
resource, but for the last 7 weeks I've gotten nowhere. I was
really hoping someone on this forum would have some suggestions,
but all the replies have been from other people with the same or
similar problem.
Unfortunately, this problem makes Flash Professional
completely useless for me, so I'm getting really desperate.

Audio plays but video doesnt...

my 30 gb vipod used to play audio and video but just the day before (may be i kept too much of video) and now when i click on any video then it stands still with black screen...what should i do???

Audio plays but Video stays stuck on a frame

I use FCP7. The media is a .mov, Frame Size: 720 x 405, Frame Rate 23.98, Pixel Ratio Square, Compressor AppleProRes 422, 48 kHz at 16bit, converted through MPEG Streamclip from an H264 file made from a DVD.
All I'm trying to do is cut off the first 2min of the file: Color Bars, Countdown Leader and Slate.
I Restarted FCP: that brought on the Video which was not there before. But now the video stays motionless. Anybody knows a solution? A thousand thanks.

Take a look at the chart near the top of this page: https://documentation.apple.com/en/motion/usermanual/index.html#chapter=B%26sect ion=5%26tasks=true
720 x 405 isn't one of the listed pixel dimensions. I'd recommend that you re-convert the original h.264 video file(s) to the proper dimensions.

Template shows up, but video does not. any suggestions?

Anyone know if my software is melting in the heat or did i hit an incorrect button--- i can see the template but cannot see the video clip under it?
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Has anyone had a similar problem, and possibly found a solution?
Unfortunately, everyone has the same problem until the printer manufacturers see fit to provide full function network USB drivers for use with wireless routers and other network USB devices.
Canon...and other manufacturers...already supply full function drivers for network use with wireless and Ethernet connections, so USB cannot be that difficult. True, they would then have to support this....which might one reason why they shy away from this type of functionality.
All you can really do is lobby the printer manufacturer for the features that you need. As you know, Apple...and users....can only use the printer drivers that they obtain from the printer manufacturers.
As it stands now, if you want a printer, or scanner, or copier, etc to work on a network, then you need to get a network all-in-one device and connect using Ethernet or wireless.
If the printer guys haven't offered network USB functionality by now....I doubt that they ever will. My opinion.

Quicktime Audio plays - no video

Have a site (www.myefa.org) that is used by MANY worldwide to learn English. The site has been active for quite a few years and has streaming video. We use Quicktime exclusively and are rethinking that decision.
After the 7.1 and higher upgrades the site's video no longer works. We have CDs to use with the site (also containing video) that do not work anymore either. The audio plays the video does not.
We have our users "downgrading" to 6.5.2 and explain that iTunes won't work. They must choose and aren't too happy about it.
The site listed above is used in school lab settings and by individuals. Many support persons (including moi) have attempted "fixing" the problem to no avail. We have performed all Troubleshooting tips given on Apple's site along with tips given in this forum...nothing seems to work, including installing 3rd party codecs.
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. If you go to the site www.myefa.org, click on Visitor, then an episode. Choose any camera icon to see video...chances are pretty good you'll hear audio but see white video.
If you do get audio and video please forward your settings to [email protected]
Thanks in advance for any assist.
Gateway Windows XP Pro

Well, you've given us something to ponder. Thanks for that.
I also retried the CD's we have for the site (same video taken from the CD instead of streaming after clicking on the link) and get the following:
- the plugin was found, but an error in the plugin occurred.
- The plugin did not initialize properly.
From the Apple/Quicktime site the message is a wee bit different:
- An error occurred inside the plug-in on this page. (interesting that plugin is hyphenated here).
Again, all help is welcome and I appreciate your response.

Can't play Foxnews videos. Trying to use latest Firefox, Flash and Javascript is enabled. Ad plays but video hangs. Anyone else having this issue?

Have tried both Mozilla 12 and 16, have reloaded Flash several times, have enabled Javascript. Ad seems to play but video does not, only seems to occur with Foxnews.

You can check the Flash status [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/find-version-flash-player.html here]. If you have any external Windows ad blocking applications, or if you're using a proxy you can try to adjust the settings.
Additionally, the Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

Audio sound but video still loading?

Why when I play video it's loading and audio plays but video still loading?

Update, I took the webcam home over the weekend and tried on my home network and the outcome was the same video fine - audio delayed, is this a Skype for desktop issue?

I created in iMovie, and extracted audio from one of the clips to use in the title sequence. All is well, export to iDVD and it plays OK, but when I burn the DVD the audio for the titles does not play. Any suggestions?
