Can't play trailers with Quicktime 6.5.2

When I go to Apple's trailer site and click on the trailers, they don't start automatically. They used to but all of a sudden I only see a white background and the Quicktime logo in a square box. Does anybody know what the problem is?

hi Abi!
interesting question. itunes 4.9 could work with a QT 7.0.2 or 7.0.3.
let's give a standalone QT 7.0.4 installation a try. (it's more stable than the earlier 7.0.x versions.)
download and save a copy of the QT 7.0.4 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.0.4 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)
love, b

Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

Hi DJNIKKo,
I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
1. normal - 20 HP
2.nightmare - 6000 HP
3.**** - 150 000 HP
4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
This is for the same enemy...
(I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
So this game is't for me...

Can't open Apple HD Movie trailers with Quicktime download link

Hi all,
For some reason, I can't seem to get Safari to automatically open Quicktime Player X to open an Apple HD trailer on trailers.apple.com. I can only view trailers when clicking on "Watch Now". I can also workaround this issue by righ clicking on the HD trailer links and then selecting "Open with Quicktime Player" which then allows me to view the HD trailer in QT player X. But I'd like to have that process automatic, like it used to.
Is there a quick fix for this?

After hours with try and error no solutions.
I changed now from windows with iTunes over to my Mac and surprise: It works. All videos are now playable (the same which wasn't before)
=> Windows Vista, 64Bit, Itunes 10.5.3.3 did not work
=> Same mp4 over Mac to Ipad did work.
No idea, what's going on, or is wrong on the PC.
Thanks,
i-v

All of a sudden I can not play videos that are sent to me, I had no trouble playing them with quicktime before, what can I do?

I have had this iMac for 5 years and have had zero problems with it , I run the lastest software (not mountain Lion) and all of a sudden I can not play downloaded videos that have been sent to me. What can I do ?

Either launch VLC (assuming you have installed it) and then open the file you want to view from within VLC, or, select the file (don't open) you want to view and do Command+I and from the window that appears select VLC from the 'Open with:' option.
You can make this the default if you wish by also clicking on the 'change all' button.

Viewing Netflix Trailers with QuickTime in Safari

I use both Safari and Firefox browsers, but I have come to prefer Safari. I also subscribe to the Netflix DVD rental service. I enjoy the Netflix feature that allows viewing movie trailers by clicking a "Preview" button.
When I click Preview in Firefox, the trailer plays in Windows Media Player. When I click the Netflix Preview feature in Safari, nothing happens except the URL showing in the address bar shows "http://www.videodetective.net/player.asp?cmd=3&publishedid=6857&CustomerId=672 72&videokbrate=300."
I would like to use the QuickTime application to view Netflix trailers in my Safari browser but after searching this discussion board, but I haven't uncovered a discussion of the particular issue.
I am running OS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2, QuickTime 7.0.3, and Player 7.0.3

When I click Preview in Firefox, the trailer plays in
Windows Media Player. When I click the Netflix
Preview feature in Safari, nothing happens except the
URL showing in the address bar shows
"http://www.videodetective.net/player.asp?cmd=3&publis
hedid=6857&CustomerId=67272&videokbrate=300."
I came upon the answer to this, after asking Saft author Hao Li about it:
"You have "Block Images and Plugins" checked under Safari menu. Turn it off." I had checked "Only Animation" in the submenu, and when unchecked, I got WMP to work again for previewing movies.
A temporary solution, in my mind. Let's still see if we can get Netflix to use QuickTime Player! Use their contact link at the bottom of each page to make your desires known.

Can't Play DVD (with VLC, Totem, Xine, MPlayer), But Works in Windows

I have a DVD that I can't play for the life of me in Arch. I've tried VLC, Totem, Xine, and MPlayer. And I do have libdvdcss installed. Other DVDs work fine.
With VLC the DVD menu comes up, but when I hit play I get choppy sound and no picture. And I get these errors:
[0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

With Totem I get the DVD menu and when I hit play it just freezes.
With Gxine I just get a popup window that says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" (but again I do have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and libdvdnav installed). In the terminal Gxine reports it's using libdvdcss to get the encryption keys and it appears to all go fine, but then I get the "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" popup window.
Mplayer plays the the DVD but the image is scrambled and the sound is a little choppy.
On the other hand, in Windows, on the same computer, the DVD plays fine with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d) and with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack.
I'm especially baffled that VLC does it in Windows, but not in Arch (nor in Debian).
Any thoughts? Thanks.

That's interesting. I didn't realize it was all css. But how does that explain in this case the DVD did work with free players in Windows. As I said, both with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack and with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d)? Thanks.
That is very possible. All those players use (or can use) direct show. As soon as you have the needed filter installed by SOME software all those players will be able to make use of it. And i think Vista even had dvd filters pre-installed.
Btw. One of the more common protections on dvds is called arcos and is developed by Sony. Google for it

How can I play along with a MIDI sequence in Mainstage?

Hi folks,
I have some live performances where I would like to play along with MIDI sequences. I've been using Mainstage and software instruments, but can't for the life of me figure out how do play along with MIDI sequences. There's a nice plugin (whose name escapes me at the moment) that lets you play along with looped audio tracks....but a MIDI file would be better for my purposes. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
-Mike Kaplan

Hi
Not directly within Mainstage.... there could be workarounds using 3rd party applications slaved to MS, but it would be a complete pita (compared to working with scripts to iTunes Playlists or just bouncing the MIDI files to audio).

What is a .vob file and how can I play it in Quicktime Player?

I have a video file .vob. I can play it in VLC, but I would like to be able to play it in Quicktime. Do I need to change its file type? And to what? And how?

Clementine can't play files with special characters

I saw Clementine can't play some mp3 files - it would just say "error loading file".
So I opened an mp3 from the terminal and found out that the problem was the characters in the file name.
For example, it wouldn't play "Schiller - Tired (mit Jaël).mp3" but works fine with "Schiller - Tired (mit Jael)"
Any ideas why?

Well...

Playing dvds with quicktime

i just purchased the component to quicktime that allows me to play DVDs on quicktime but i still cant get my dvds to play in quicktime. when i put the dvd into my computer it doesnt open up with quicktime and when i look at the differnt files there are so many different video files on the dvd and none of them open up with quicktime. how do i get my dvds to play in quicktime now that i downloaded the mpeg2 player for quicktime?

Even though it is not encrpypted it could still be in transport_stream format and the component will not play it. Try this freeware. The Mac version will play transport_stream, so maybe the new Windows version will also. Mpeg StreamClip

Can't play video with Extreme from NAS. Help.

Can not play podcast with voice control command

Is there any way to play a podcast with voice commands? I've been trying everything, "Play podcast Science Friday", "Play NPR Science Friday", "Play This American Life". I'm pretty sure Apple left this feature out. I thought they would have fixed it by iOS4. It's nice they added, "What time is it?" but I think this would be more useful. While I'm driving, sometimes I like to listen to music, sometimes I like to listen to podcasts.
I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this. Can we please elevate this to a bug/feature request?
Thanks

I've always had this problem, where "play" and "pause" does not work with podcasts through voice commands, which is rather dangerous when I'm driving and have to fumble with the touchscreen while using an A2DP headset. I don't usually have any music loaded, since I prefer listening to podcasts, Pandora or FM radio. Yesterday, I synced ONE song onto my iPhone, and suddenly it works with podcasts. I then removed it and it stopped working again. Apparently, if there is no music iPhone thinks that there is nothing to play, even if there are podcasts, which is a pretty stupid BUG. I still have not been able to play artists or titles, but now I can say "play playlist <list-name>" or "play" to resume a podcast that is paused.
Of course, no matter what I say, half the time it dials a random number from my contacts!

Can't play m4a with moc anymore

Hi
since last upgrade I found out that I can't play m4a in my favourite player moc. It says that 'No audio stream in file'.
Does anyone know what is the problem? I can't find any mention of this, so maybe just my set up
I have faad2, and ffmpeg etc. installed.
Thanks for help!

I guess I am a pragmatist and yes, I did all sorts of things and my system is up to date.
Sometimes a person just has to do what works in the meantime. I agree with you and I admitted it is a "dirty" trick but without a fix by other means, it works for now. I doubt if my particular hack is going to do any damage, since the symlinks refer to now deprecated file references. Is it generally bad practice? Yes, but so is putting pepper in a leaky radiator, but if you are stuck somewhere, it does plug a small hole for a bit and can get you to where you need to be. Those links can later be removed.
I did just file this however:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14713
I think some packages are still seeking the old linked files which are removed by the latest faad2. Oddly, I have a new install on a system and it works fine so I am not sure what the issue is or why a full upgrade on an "older" install didn't fix it.

Help! I cannot play VCD with QuickTime Pro.

I tried to open a .DAT file with QuickTime Pro which alerted me with the following message:
QuickTime cannot open the file AVESQ04.DAT it is not a file that Qucik Time understands (-2048).
However, I read the Help in apple.com, they said it should work. What did I do wrongly???

I have found that if you copy the DAT files to your hard drive, and then change the "DAT" to "MPG" in the file name that Quicktime will play them.
It's been a while, so if I am wrong and "MPG" doesn't work, try "MOV" instead.
I'm pretty sure it was MPG though.
I remember I did this a long time ago, and it worked great.
