AVi movies (MPEG-4 AVI format) suddenly won't play properly in iPhoto 6.0.5

Since updating iPhoto to v.6.0.5, all of my old AVI movies in iPhoto (taken with a CASIO Exilim digital camera and uploaded earlier to my iMac G5) show only a blank screen when played and now only play the sound that was recorded. The "thumbnails still show a ppicture. They played very well before. New movies uploaded to iPhoto now show up as blank "thumbnails" and only play the sound. What gives?? Can I get the old version of iPhot back? Can someone help me?

Did you upgrade Quicktime as well?
Have you checked the Casio Website for an update?

  • Movies suddenly won't play on iMac w/ Maverics

    All movies (YouTube, Vimeo, my own on internal or external drive) suddenly won't play on iMac.  Just started happening 3 days ago.

    They just didn't play from browsers, my own mp4's,  or .mov files, iMovie wouldn't work either; but solved it today by simply re-loading OS 10.9.2.   Everything works fine now. 
    THANKS!

  • Kde 4.1 suddenly won't run properly

    I'm not sure what caused it, but KDE 4.1 suddenly won't run properly on one of my machines. It will start to run and die right at the point when the "splash screen" disappears. If I click the popup to make it go away, the desktop will appear for less than a second before being dropped out of X.
    The error message that I see after that is:
    xprop: unable to connect to display :0
    My main "DE" (Fluxbox) works perfectly, so I don't think that it's a problem with X itself.
    The video card brand is nVidia, if that helps any....

    If you're getting dropped out of X then it's X that's crashing.
    I will assume you have desktop effects enabled and they are causing your graphics driver to die somehow. You can disable desktop effects from the terminal by typing:
    kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key Enabled --type bool false

  • QTVR Movies won't play properly in iWeb

    QuickTime VR panoramic movies won't play properly. Doesn't seem to matter what kind of iWeb page I use. The movies respond normally when opened with QuickTime Player. The seem to fail only when placed into iWeb.
    First, there are no VR controls visible. What controls there are don't respond when clicked. Second, the mouse curson doesn't change when moved over the movie placeholder. Third, the only image within the movie placeholder is the first frame.
    I tried several QTVR panorama movies with the same result. I also verified that none of the available movie controllers will function. I have already searched on QTVR in this forum and found none of the few suggestions offered to work.
    Any new ideas?

    We've recieved your file and got it to work in iWeb. Here's what to do:
    As always, place a text box in iWeb the size of the dimentions of your QTVR movie. Put some text in the box something like "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE"
    After Publishing your site locate your "QTVRMOVIECODEHERE" text and replace it with
    <embed src="http://URLWhereYourFileis.mov" width="320" height="240"></embed>
    Another way you can do it is store the QTVR file on your host. If you are using .mac you can store it in your sites folder or Web folder. From the sites folder the URL for your file would be homepage.mac.com/YourUserName/YourFolder(if any)/YourQTVRMovieName.mov
    Then place a hyperlink to your files URL in your iWeb page.
    Here is the working QTVR file in an iWeb page:
    http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/IniWeb
    Or if you'd like you can you can hyperlink to http://iWebFAQ.com/QTVR/twofish.mov

  • After automatically updated to Firefox 3.6.15 videos won't play properly

    Recently when firefox was automatically updated to 3.6.15 suddenly videos won't play properly anymore. Vidxden videos used to play really well but now they don't load properly or not at all. All the other videos take forever to load and don't seem to be compatible anymore. I usually go to the same video sites and those don't work like they used to. I've noticed as well that hotmail is really slow and many pages won't load at all including windows live web site. It doesn't appear that 3.6.15 is very compatible with video play or msn sites.

    Since automatic update to 3.6.15, I am unable to play videos on abc.com, and even on my News Feed page in Facebook. The error message says the video is being blocked by an ad blocker in my browser. I have not changed my security settings, nor have I updated any other software recently.
    By the way, I did check the same videos (at abc.com and on Facebook) with Internet Explorer (same computer) and they played just fine.

  • No sound in avi files (MPEG Layer 3 format)

    Ok. here's another take on this problem maybe someone can please help me with. overall objective is to convert avi files to "ipod ready" files using quicktime. at first when any of these files were opened in quicktime, i had no sound and a white screen while the file was "playing". it took me a very long time but finally found the necessary video codec so i now have the video.
    however, i am still not getting anywhere with the sound problem. when i go to video properties in quicktime it says the audio track of the files are in MPEG Layer 3 format. so, naturally i began searching for this audio codec. when i found one on freecodecs from Fraunhofer, downloaded, and installed, nothing changed. unfortunately i cannot find any other version of this codec and cannot figure out how to get quicktime to use the codec from Fraunhofer.
    Please help!!!!

    Hey. Thanks for the info. I have found the program and will give it a shot. In the meantime I have been using a program I found called Digital Media Converter which seems to be working great (a little slow but does the job). However, I was wondering if one of you who is most familiar with the Windows OS could answer a question. I have encountered an error when I tried converting video files in the past and with this new program. It seems to be internal to Windows. After a file is converted to an mp4 and I go to the conversion folder to look at the file...whenever I click on that mp4 file or go to use it the Windows Explorer crashes giving one of those report sender windows that Windows generates after a problem. Now what is really strange is that despite Explorer crashing, I can move that box out of the way, continue to work with the file (place it in iTunes), delete the original (as iTunes stores its own copy), reset the Explorer, and then it's like nothing ever happened.
    Is it normal for the Explorer to crash under these circumstances? And, is there anything I can do to fix that?
    I'll be trying the MPEG Streamclip program in the meantime. I have located it on the web but not installed just yet. I'll get back to you. Thanks for all the help guys!

  • Purchased movies suddenly won't play

    I have purchased a bunch of movies a few months ago and they would play fine whenever, then all of a sudden yesterday and today no movies will play. Every time a music playlist gets to a music video it freezes and closes and every time i try to play a movie it freezes and closes. What do I do?

    They just didn't play from browsers, my own mp4's,  or .mov files, iMovie wouldn't work either; but solved it today by simply re-loading OS 10.9.2.   Everything works fine now.

  • Clips suddenly won't play in iMovie

    I have several projects I'm working on in iMovie. All of a sudden some of the clips that I'm using to create my projects won't play in iMovie any longer. When the project gets to the portion of the video where that clip is, the video freezes until the next "good" clip comes up in the timeline. All the while the music still plays over the frozen video. Also, the clips are taken from longer video clips that still play in iMovie. For example, in one case a video clip is 11 seconds long and I'm only taking the first 4 seconds. It is these 4 seconds that won't play. The rest of the clip plays fine if I bring it into the project but the first 4 seconds that I originally had in my project won't play no matter what I do. Thus I know it is not the format of the clips. Also, the clips still play fine in QuickTime, just not in iMovie.
    I've tried suggestions such as deleting the iMovie preferences file (plist file), taking the movies out of the Movie folder, restarting iMovie, closing iMovie, moving my projects back to the Movies folder, and re-opening the projects to no avail.
    I'm using
    Mac Book with OS 10.6.4
    iMovie 8.0.6 (821)
    Quick Time 10.0 (114)

  • Gallery movie won't play properly on new Macbook Air

    I uploaded a movie last night, but when I try to play it on my new Macbook Air, using Safari, it only loaded 1/4 the way and won't play any further. But it plays fine on my Windows computer. Every time I try to go back and play it, it gets stuck in the same place. It won't load any further, and I can't get it to reload from the beginning (where the loading progress bar starts at the very beginning). Google Chrome won't play it at all. I'm assuming this is a quicktime problem. I haven't done the last Mac OS update yet (I'm at work, my Macbook's at home). Any guesses on what I need to do? Just update the OS? And if I reinstall Quicktime, how do I do that?

    Any guesses on what I need to do?
    I would not want to hazard a guess until I can check the instantaneous data rate at the time of the problem. Got the URL and a time where the file stops?

  • ITunes all of a sudden won't play screen goes blank

    iTunes trailers was working perfectly last week, now when I hit play on a movie screen
    just darkens and won't play movie, please help

    I've seen a problem like this before. This was a solution that worked for me, as long as the songs were still visibly listed in iTunes. Select the song and check to see if the album art window says "Album Art Not Modifiable" (remember to set the album art window to "Selected Song" not "Currently Playing"). If the album art is NOT modifiable, select the songs that won't play, then go to Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags..., then click the check box next to ID3 tag version, and select the highest version, (currently v2.4).

  • Lumia 930 Xbox music suddenly won't play MP3 file

    OS version: 8.10.14157.200
    Xbox Music version: 2.6.414.0
    I was listening with a wired headset, then suddenly it stopped playing (in the headset at least). Somehow the music continue playing in the loudspeaker with the headset plugged in. I stopped the music because seriously I'm in public. Tried playing music again and yep it won't play anymore, its just loading (the dots). So I restarted Xbox music, again it still won't play, and I am now getting an error prompt: "Sorry, we can't play this file on you phone. Error code: 8007045D". Of course, it played again after restarting the phone. This is not the first time this happened, its getting frustrating.

    There might be two separate things here, not playing through the headset and not able to open the music library. If it is just one MP3 file not playing then that file is probably corrupted and you can simply delete and transfer a new copy.
    However, given what happened during playback, I lean towards the file itself not being at fault. You don't say if you have restarted the phone itself, this might help because a simple temporary issue with the app is going to linger until a restart. Otherwise, check if there is an update for the app in the store, updating it would give you a fresh, unblemished copy.

  • I recently rented a movie, it downloaded successfully, but it won't play.  When I call up the movie, there is no play button, just what appears to be a stop button.  How do I access this movie, or get a refund?

    I recently rented a movie, it downloaded successfully, and it will not play.  When I call up the movie, there is no play button, just what appears to be a stop button.  How do I access this movie, or get a refund?

    As it says on the page that you posted from :
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Why it's like that I don't think that Apple have said (these are user-to-user forums). If you haven't downloaded it on your iPad then have you checked to see if you can download it on your computer's iTunes (Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option) or Apple TV ?
    If it doesn't show on either of them then you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will let you download it on a different computer/device or refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Videos encoded with Apple Animation Codec won't play properly in QT7.5

    Quick Time version I have installed is 7.5 (149.5). I also have Perian 1.1 and Mpeg2 codec for QT.
    All of a sudden, all videos I render using Apple Animation Codec with alpha channel won't properly play in QuickTime, nor in Preview (when you click on .MOV file and press Space). They actually play, but colors are all screwed up and it looks like it's playing only alpha layer. I tried same movies on my work buddy's Mac and everything looks perfet. I also tried importing those videos into Flash, and everything works fine, but when I have to preview them in QT or using Finder's Preview, they look crazy. I can't send any screenshots since this thing happens on my work iMac (new aluminum one, Leopard 10.5.4, all updates installed) and I am at home now.
    I tried reinstalling QT but to no avail, nothing changed. I've looked through Library/QuickTime subfolder, and only items I could find were QuickTimeMPEG2.component, Perian.component, ffmpeg.component, and AppleIntermediateCodec.component.
    I'm slowly going crazy over here, because nothing I tried worked.
    Is there any way of completely removing everything QT related and reinstalling it from the scratch ? Please help!
    Thanks in advance!

    Hah, found out what's the problem. It is not my computer, it is not my QuickTime got corrupt. It is QuickTime's bug decoding movie file encoded using following combination of settings:
    Quick Time encoder
    Compression Type: Animation
    Depth: Millions of colors+ (alpha channel included)
    Quality: Best
    ParticleIllusion
    Output options
    Save Alpha - enabled
    Remove Black bg from RBG channels - if this item is enabled, this is exactly what gives QT problems trying to encode it. I repeat, this option must be enabled in some cases (it removes that nasty black-dirt-looking extra halo glow around the object that already has some kind of glow applied to it). It makes your animation rendered with alpha channel a lot better looking and animation seamlessly blends with any kind of colored background. Well, QT has problems "reading" this format.
    In the same time, if you import such animation rendered with this option enabled into Flash, everything looks perfectly fine. It's just QuickTime won't play it properly.
    Every single Mac I checked has this same problem, and it's not Mac's problem, it is QuickTime problem.
    I have two examples, you can see it yourself:
    First one is when black bg is still present in RGB channels (animation looks exactly as it should):
    http://www.sasha-z-creations.com/quicktime/Example_BlackPresent.mov
    And second one is when black bg is removed from RGB channels (colors looks weird):
    http://www.sasha-z-creations.com/quicktime/Example_BlackRemoved.mov
    I repeat, both examples look exactly the same (great looking) when imported into Flash dev utility.
    Cheers!
