Camera movies to quicktime player or windows media player

Digital movies play just fine on my camera, a NIkon Coolpix but once I import them to either quicktime or windows media player they do not play smoothly. Any ideas why or what I can do to correct this?

I have a HP Pavilion 554y computer with windows xp operating system, not a mac
Why are you asking this on an Apple forum then ??!
Either ask Nikon or try the Microsoft forum:

Deleting movie from Quicktime Player 10 (Snow Leopard)

how to delete movie from Quicktime Player 10 in OS X 10.6.8

You delete movies from your computer not from Quicktime.

QuickTime .mov plays upside-down in Windows Media Player

I know the cause of this: If you record using an iPhone with the volume buttons pointed at the ceiling, the resulting video plays upside-down in Windows Media Player. QuickTime is smart enough to correct and rotate automatically. Not so WMP. I have several clips that were recorded with the volume buttons pointed up. If I use QuickTime Player to rotate the clips, then they are correct when viewed in WMP, but upside-down in QuickTime Player!
Is there any way to fix these clips so they are right-side up in both worlds? Or is there no choice but to re-record everything with iPhone's volume buttons pointed at the floor?

Your assumptions are only partially correct. When you record the clip on your iPhone, the clip is recorded just as you see it in the WMP—i.e., upside down. What the iPhone does is records an addition file value that tells Apple media players which edge to display as the "top" during playback. Since third-party media players ignore this value, they display the clip in its original orientation which, in your case is upside down. When you flip the video orientation using QT 7 Pro, you're telling QT media players to play the file with an "upside down" orientation. By exporting the "flipped" orientation, you are, in fact, re-encoding the original "upside down" to a "right-side up" display but simultaneously telling all Apple media players to play the file upside down.

Actually, you can do either. That is, you can either "fix" the original recordings or re-record the the clips in a manner that avoids this problem. To "fix" your original files, simple open the files in an Apple media player (like QT 7 Pro) and export the files. The player will note the current "top" orientation and re-encode the content using the current display orientation for both QT and third-party players.

Converting video ( quicktime) to a windows media player video

Does anyone know how I can convert a quicktime movie into a windows media player video?

You need to purchase Flip4Mac.

How do I export FCP movie to a WMV format (Windows Media Player friendly)?

I am puzzled. How can I export FCP movie to a WMV format or Windows Media Player friendly?
Thanks in advance.

You need a third party app to do this... AVI is the only format that you can export from FCP that's windows media friendly... WMF's can be exported with flip4mac... http://www.flip4mac.com Probably the best of the apps...

Quicktime Installation and Windows Media Player in IE 9

Upon installation, Quicktime becomes the add-on player of mp3 files in Internet Explorer 9 when running under Windows 7 (x64). I want to return that function to Windows Media Player. Every prospective solution I've come across so far has no effect, including altering preferences in Quicktime, changing file associations, and managing add-ons. Definitive solution, anyone?

If the website you visit to view these mp3 files is setup to use QuickTime player to handle them. Than changing file association preferences may not make a difference because the HTML is written for QT to handle

You cannot play a movie from the iTunes Store in anything but iTunes or QuickTime Player or on an Apple device. You'll need to connect your computer to your TV to watch that movie there.

Always play linked movie in QuickTime Player?

How do I craft an HTML link so that the mov from my web server always plays in the Quicktime player? I don't want the image imbedded in the webpage; I want a clickable link that will open QT Player and start the movie.
I tried adding "target", "quicktimeplayer" to the QTWritePosterXHTML javascript described in the Export for Web ReadMe instructions, but it doesn't seem to work.
By the way, if I use a raw Test Movie link to the .mov file, it opens in a new browser window, not the QT player.

How do I craft an HTML link so that the mov from my web server always plays in the Quicktime player? I don't want the image imbedded in the webpage; I want a clickable link that will open QT Player and start the movie.
I assume there may be many ways to do this but as I am not an HTML programmer, I normally go with a non-programmer method -- the the QuickTime Media Link (QTL) file.
Basically, this is a script encapsulated as a QT movie file. When accessed, i.e., such as when clicking on a hyperlink pointing to it URL, a very small file is downloaded to the user's computer which then opens the local QT Player and begins caching data from a source file on a server. Depending on the settings in the QTL file, the movie can auto-open, loop, play in full screen mode, etc.
To give you some idea of what I am talking about, here is an iWeb page that allows you to play the same file either directly in the web browser page or on your local Mac platform. I like QTL files because they can be used in much the same way as a reference file -- i.e., be e-mailed as a very small attachment and treated/opened/played much the same as a standalone QT file as long as you are connected to the Internet.

How to take 16:9 HD Movie from QuickTime player and play 4:3 letterbox

We have a movie created in Final Cut Pro in HDV, so it is 16x9 and it plays just fine having been exported as a QuickTime movie.
The idea is to distribute it to some people that have 4:3 SD televisions, so we want to make a DVD that will play in those TV's but will not cut off the sides or distort the picture - in other words, to letterbox it.
I tried creating a 4:3 project in iDVD, and dragging the quicktime movie in. It seemed to be letterboxed in the preview window, but when I burned the disc, not only was it not letterboxed, but it cut off the sides of the picture. Even playing it on a 16:9 TV had the sides cut off.
Can someone suggest how to accomplish this?

The original movie was exported from Final Cut Pro into QuickTime so it was 1920x1080 using the HDV 1080i60 codec. This resulted in a QuickTime movie file. After reading your reply I opened this .mov file in QuickTime player and exported it using the DV codec (best quality, 16x9, progressive). Under "Size" in the dialog, there was an option to "Preserve Aspect Ratio Using.." and I selected "letterbox".
This produced what looks like a DV 853x480 file that looks letterboxed. I opened a new iDVD project, selected 4:3 as the ratio (since this will be viewed on a 4x3 Tv; that is the idea of making sure it is letterboxed) and imported the new file. It came out 4x3 stretched. So I guess I did something wrong.
What should I do differently?

Export Using QuickTime Conversion To Windows Media (.wmv)

I have Final Cut Pro HD version 4.5 that runs on my G5. I have a problem when I try to export video to Windows Media file (.wmv). After I select Export / Using QuickTime Conversion and than choose Windows Media in Format box, Final Cut does compile a .wmv file. The only problem is that it's only 30 sec. long when the original video that sits on Timeline is 2 mintues long. When I export the same video to Quick Time file, everything works perfectly and the duration of .mov file is the same.
I tried to set in and out points, but it made no difference.
So now I can't make a file that can get played on Windows computer that has only Windows Media player. And .avi file is not an option since I can't get one compressed enought, so it turns out too big. I understand that I can buy some third party software to make .wmv file, but I want to make sure that out of box Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 can't make Windows Media files before spending extra money.

You need to buy the full version of flip-4-mac to encode/save to a wmv. Sounds like you only have the trail/free playback version...
You need either the pro version or studio version:

Can I use quicktime to watch windows media streaming with authentication?

I everyone. I am running into a problem here. I have a Mac Book Pro and would like to watch some windows media streams. Until last month I was using Quicktime to watch them because they were not protected. But beginning on this month they implemented a security access where we need to put login and password in order to watch the stream.
If I try to acess that mms using Windows Media Player or Real Player on Windows, it opens a pop up asking for my username and password. However on my Mac Book Pro I can't get to this authentication screen using any player.
I have tried Quicktime, but also tried VLC, Real Player and Windows Media Player 9 for Mac. None of these play the mms since they started using the authentication scheme.
Can anyone help? Can I somehow authenticate to the sever and watch the mms on my Mac Book Pro? (I know I can use a Virtual Machine and watch this on Windows, but I would prefer to not depending on Windows)
Appreciate any help!
Denis

Sorry, I should have clarified that. MMS is the stream protocol used by Microsoft Media Services (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicrosoftMediaServices) .
I know Quicktime could run it if I have Flip4Mac installed, that's why I could watch those streams until last month. The problem started after then applied authentication to those streams. Now when I go to Quicktime, select "Open URL" option, and add the stream mms address (mms://link), it just doesn't do anything. It is something with the authentication because when there was no authentication it just worked perfectly.
Is there any way to make Quicktime authenticate to a Windows Media Server?
