    How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?

    QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all.   In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.

    can't run quick time player on google chrome

    Hi aj243,
    I haven't been able to view quicktime videos lately in Chrome either.  I get the error message "quicktime plug in 7.7.1 has crashed".  Were you ever able to fix this problem?

  • I can't stand Quick Time Player

    Some of us have more than one monitor. I own a comedy theater, and our tech booth has two monitors, one of which is connected to a projector. I'd love to be able to show video content on our screen without having to also show the audience the Quick Time Player contols at the same time. Is there an app I can use that allows me to show QT videos but detatch the on-screen controls from the main viewing window and move it elsewhere? Why this isn't an option with QT I do not know (I'm told the Windows version allows it.)
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Like you I thought you could drag them off to one side.
    I also have Quicktime 7 which allows some things the later version does not.
    However I can't see how to separate the Controls here either.
    I must admit to not being that well informed on Players.

  • HT201066 I can't open quick time player

    I am trying to download a h264.mov and cannot ope the file. Any suggestions?

    So I downloaded an h264.mov. and when I click on it topen it it tells me
    QuickTime Player can't open "Room Serviced_H.264.mov".  I click to tell me more and it takes me to an Apple page that tells me this below. But it doesn't give me a solution.

  • When I try to use quick time player I get message "install apple application Support"  How do i get this?

    When I try to use Quicktime Player I get message "install apple application support".  Where do I go to get this?

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the QuickTimeInstaller.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL837
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the QuickTimeInstaller.exe, and select "Extract to QuickTimeInstaller". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "QuickTimeInstaller".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does the QuickTime Player launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

    Hi Sansony,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand you would like to record audio from the headphones you connected to your computer. When recording audio with QuickTime Player, you can choose to use the built-in microphone, an external microphone you’ve connected, or a microphone from a connected Apple display. Please use the following article as a reference.
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    Clicking the triangle icon gives you additional options, such as letting you choose whether to use the built-in microphone on your Mac, an external microphone you've connected to your Mac, a microphone from a connected Apple display, or the option to simply use no microphone at all. The triangle also allows you to adjust the finished quality of your screen recording, select whether or not your mouse clicks are shown during the recording (the pointer is highlighted when you click), and to select what location (on your Mac) to save your screen recording when finished.
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • Unable to paly a few DVDs on Quick Time player?

    Hello,
    I am using Quick Time player for quite some time and i find it far better that other players like Power DVD and Windows Media Player.
    But i encounter a strange problem some times. I am able to play most DVDs on it but some time it fails. The error message it shows is: Error 2048, "Couldn't open the file *.VOB because it is not a file that Quick Time understands".
    I would like to stress on the fact that this happens with a few DVDs only and others play normally. I am unable to understand the problem. Hope you would be able to provide some solution to my problem.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    QuickTime Player doesn't play MPEG-2 formats (DVD's) without additional software.
    It doesn't play "Hollywood" DVD's at all.

  • Quick Time Player Confusion!

    I am confused.
    In SL, every time I right click a movie file, whatever the format, and select "open with" I get a drop down menu headed:
    Quick Time Player Launcher (default).
    What is this?
    Below this are listed the other players I have installed (VLC, DivX, RealPlayer, iTunes) INCLUDING Quick Time Player 10.
    Is Quick Time Player 10 different from Quick time Player Launcher? It has a different icon in the drop-down list, Quick Time Player 10 Launcher has the default icon. Quick Time Player 10 has an icon I chose for it to assist in my distinguishing between the two (or is it one?) application/s.
    In my applications folder there is Quick Time Player 10, but no Quick Time Player Launcher.
    And when I select Quick Time Player Launcher from said drop-down list..... Quick Time Player 10 launches!
    But, and here's the really confusing part, ALL the movie players I have installed are listed in that drop-down list EXCEPT Quick Time Player 7.
    Now, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer Quick Time Player 7.
    However, if I want to open a movie using Quick Time Player 7 I have to go to the bottom of the drop-down list, select Other, and navigate through my Applications to reach it.
    How do I add Quick Time Player 7 to my drop-down list?
    Better still, how do I make Quick Time Player 7 my default movie player?
    Cheers,
    Martin

    QT player launcher is an application helper sitting inside QT player 7 which launches QT player 10. you should not see it in the open with menu. it's a known bug that you do see it. but it should not affect the functionality. if it does then reset your launch services database. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and run the following terminal command
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    note that this will reset all default programs set to open various file types to the defaults so you might have to change some afterward.

  • Photoshop elements 11- Quick time player

    Hello form,
    Sorry for my English, but I hope that you can understand my big problem.
    My problem is, how can I install Quick Time Player in PSE 11.
    I have install Quick Time Player (QTP) normal on my PC, and that works. My os is Window 7.
    I hope someone can help my.
    Thanks,  Jaap van Driel.

    If you have QuickTime Player installed on your PC then all the components that PSE needs will be in place. If something is not working, you can download the latest version (I'm guessing Nederland from your name) from http://www.apple.com/nl/quicktime/ and reinstall it. If not Nederland, then get it from your country Apple site.
    Is there a particular problem you're having that we can help with?
    Cheers,
    Neale

    Use VLC . Plays just about any format and it's free.

  • I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens this one file.Ideas?

    I can't open one Quick Time movie file.  It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized.  Only happens on this one file.  All the others of a two hour shoot are fine. 
    Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it? 

    Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
    The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.
