Can't save a Quicktime movie in Safari

I've read lots of threads about this.
None of the solutions I've found actually work.
The ability to save these movies works just fine in Firefox.
Other than simply using Firefox, isn't there a true solution in Safari?

if you want to record video or sound using QT you will need QT Pro
the procedure is to purchase a registration key from Apple strore and enter that in QT preferences which will unlock the pro features.
The reference to "built in to Mac" refers that the  Mac operating system uses QT as the sound, graphics and video engine, you still need QT Pro to record process or edit QT files.
If you dont want QT Pro, look for something else.

  • Viewing quicktime movies in Safari

    What are the specifications for viewing quicktime movies in safari? I've tried several different sites, most without luck. One very useful site (http://mac.sillydog.org/qt/compare.php) has several different QT formats posted. I was surprised to find out that I could not view the H.264 format, but that I could view the MPEG-4 (basic) and MPEG-4 (Improved) formats (these are the last 2 examples on the page). Also, does anyone know if it is possible to view any streaming quicktime video from within Safari? TIA
    -peter-

    Update: No it is not possible to stream quicktime video to ipod touch or iPhone at this time. Only Audio streams are supported.
    I don't know the exact specifications off hand, although I know for definate that Apple's trailer site now redirects you to a iPhone-friendly version when browsed from either iPod touch or iPhone.
    Maybe you could look into what spec the videos are encoded there? - Hopefully you can, I'd also be able to upload video in ipod touch compatible format(s).

  • How can I sav an emailed .mov file to my iPad?

    How can I sav an emailed .mov file to my iPad?

    Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll. 
    Hope this solves your question.

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.
    Model Name:          Mac Pro
      Model Identifier:          MacPro4,1

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

  • Grapher: can I make a quicktime movie for a parameter animation of a 3D graph?

    In Grapher, I can't seem to make a quicktime movie of a parameter animation for 3D graphs.
    For example:
    Make a new 3d graph.
    Add the equation x^2+y^2+z^2-k=0
    Add another equation k = 1, and Animate Parameter on it, set the range from 0 to 6, and play the animation to see a growing green sphere.
    Click the movie button to create a quick time movie.
    I get a movie of one frame of the animation repeated many times. I.e. the parameter animation does not appear in the quicktime movie.
    Should this be possible?

    Bonjour,
    There is a very old bug in Grapher : 
              Bug nr. 16 (Grapher 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3). In 3D windows, menu Equation > Create Animation : the various parameter, zoom and frame animations from the pop-up window “Animation“ do not work.
                        The remedy : No idea.
                        Proposed correction : restore these animations.
    Using Grapher 2.1 in OS X 10.6.8, to animate a sphere (cartesian coordinates) :
    — in a new 3D window (use a new window for any change you wish), enter these equations
      k = 1  and   sqrt(x^2 + y^2 + z^2) = k ;
    — click  the parameter  k=1 ;
    — Menu Equation > Animate Parameter > Settings : Min Value 1, Max Value 6, Steps 11. OK ;
    — Try the animation : Play then Pause ;
    — Click Create Movie, try it ;
    — Menu File > Save as… (.mov) to get a QuickTime Movie… working well.
      Remember : any change you want to do NEEDS A NEW WINDOW ; if not, animations can’t no more be created and saved.
    I tried today  Grapher 2.3 on a Mac Book Pro (Dec 2010) OS X 10.7.5: The bug is worse, no more animations available in 3D and two icons desappeared from the animation panel (places remain clickable). Sorry for you !
    How is it in Mountain Lion (it’s still Grapher 2.3) ?

  • Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

    Hiya everyone!
    I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
    Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
    When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
    I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
    The HDV files that won't open read as:
    Source: *.mov
    Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
    Data Size: 69.53 MB
    Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
    Current time: 00:00:01.64
    Duration: 00:00:20.76
    Normal size: 1920 x 1080
    Current size: 1920 x 1080
    Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.
    I've been all through google, and the adobe and apple sites, and the best I could find is here:

    My problem is almost identical to these 2...
    No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
    Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?
    -Kaiwin

    As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

  • How can I get a Quicktime movie to play over a background slideshow?

    I created a slideshow in PowerPoint 2003 a few years ago and would like to update it using Keynote '09. PowerPoint had a "play once" and a "Play in foreground" option that let the movie play in the same spot continuously until the last of the 21 slides are displayed. The slides were timed with background graphics and lyrics that matched the song being sung in the Quicktime movie.
    It's a song my daughter wrote and performed and it's something I think could be vastly improved using Keynote's amazing transitions, etc.
    When I tried simply importing the presentation from PowerPoint, the video will start to play but when the second slide is displayed, the video is no longer visible. I tried to set Keynote to play it on all slides, but that just restarts the audio to a "row row your boat" round kind of thing. The video doesn't play on the remaining slides.
    Is there a way to make this happen?
    Thanks!

    That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
    Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
    Thanks for the reply!

    HEy, I have been looking into this problem... i also wanted to play quicktime files using my pc... The last thing i tried was downloadiing these codecs
    1)apple pro res *for pc
    2)mpeg 2 codec for pc
    I have HDV files captured on a Mac G5 they are 30p 720,
    I think i am close to solving the problem because: before installing the codecs i couldn't see the video and only audio.. but now i open it and i can see the video partially... here are my screen captures....
    anyone interested in getting this solved???,... i would also like some help in importing m2t files from VLC player to HDV split where they can be read and edited. Thank you.
    Ultimately my goal is to be able to edit these HDV files directly and export them back out with good quality.. because my only editing choice right now is Windows movie maker.
    this is an error i got from the HDV split program. Its supposed to read m2t files..

  • Why can't I send quicktime movies via attachment?

    Hello everyone
    This is my first post since making the transition over to mac a few months ago. While the transition has been pretty smooth, I have run into a little problem which I can't seem to get my head around.
    I have recently started using .mac as my primary email account. Most of my friends do not have a .mac account (80% have hotmail accounts) but sending photos and text-based emails have not been a problem.
    However, I've been trying to send quicktime movie files as attachments (< 10 mb limit) and I keep getting a error message "Can not send message using server "smtp.mac.com".
    From quickly browsing the discussion boards, there was a suggestion to change the port settings from 25 to 587 which I tried. Unfortunately, It didn't made a difference so I've changed it back.
    I am currently participating in the 60 day trial - does apple place any restrictions on what I can or can't send during that period?
    I know I've probably made a silly mistake somewhere - I just can't seem to find it.
    Any help would be most appreciated
    Thank you

    Usually webmail servers with size limits refuse to accept a message
    that is too long and generally notify you of that.
    True if a message that exceeds the overall message size limit for the recipient's incoming mail server is actually sent.
    I'm basing my conclusion this is an overall message size limit problem on the size of one of the pre-encoded QuickTime files the OP has tried to send and the following copied from his first post in this thread.
    I have recently started using .mac as my primary email account. Most of my friends do not have a .mac account (80% have hotmail accounts) but sending photos and text-based emails have not been a problem.
    I don't believe he is accessing/using his Hotmail account in Mail to send these messages since he referred to trying to send a QuickTime file attachment to his Hotmail account with his .Mac account via the Mail.app but I may be wrong.
    Since you are a relatively new Mail.app user, I'll give you an example of an improper error message provided by the Mail.app.
    If the incoming mail server for an account that you access with the Mail.app is down or experiencing a temporary problem, the Mail.app will prompt you to manually enter the account's password when checking the account for new Mail even though this password is stored in your Keychain instead of a more proper error message such as:
    There was a problem communicating with the incoming mail server for this account.
    The incoming mail server is not available and may be down or experiencing a problem.
    Please check with your ISP or email account provider for this account.
    Sometimes there is a problem with the Keychain password for the account that running Keychain First Aid will (or should) resolve but the problem is not having any idea where to look or where the problem lies based on this prompt to manually enter the account's password only.
    I've been using the Mail.app exclusively since Jaguar was introduced and such an improper prompt without a valid error message is my biggest complaint about the application.
    Sorry to get off topic here.

  • I can't view any Quicktime movies from a drive that was uploaded by a Mac

    I have a drive with approx 250 GBs of Quicktime movies that I need to edit. The movies were uploaded onto the drive by a Mac running Quicktime 7.1.3 Pro. This is the same version of Quicktime I am running. When I try to view the movies or import them in AVID Liquid or Express Pro, I can hear the audio, but the screen remains black. I have tried to convert the files in AVIs, MPEGs, and AVID files to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? What seems so strange to me is that I can't even view them.
    BYW: I am able to access the contents of the drive because I am running Mac Drive.

    Pick one of the files and open it using QuickTime Player. Open the Movie Info window (Control-i) and note the video codec used.
    Not all codecs are compatible with Mac's and PC's. If it was rendered using a Mac only video codec you'll need to have the Mac export the files again using a cross platform codec.

  • Can Premiere create a Quicktime movie that loops?

    I have some Quicktime movies (.mov) that I made in Director. I want them to loop by default, but there's no setting for this in Director that I can find. (Not getting any answers on the Director forum...)
    I know I can set Quicktime Player to loop movies continuously but I want the loop built in.
    I'm a total novice at Premiere but I have access to use it at work. Can I change an already-made non-looping Quicktime movie to a looping Quicktime movie using Premiere CS4? How? Or some other way (freeware)?
    Thanks for helping!

    I have never done this, but I think Encore will allow you to create a movie DVD where the final action of the timeline is to go back to the beginning of the timeline (I think this would be done by creating a DVD with no menu, just a timeline set as 1st play for auto start)
    But... ask in the Encore forum to be sure
    Thanks for responding. Sounds like learning Encore would be part of this solution. Will have to look and see later if thats even included in the Premiere I can use at work. 
    A looping Quicktime movie seems like such a simple concept - an Export checkbox: "loop infinitely".  Any ideas on why this is not something that could easily be implemented into Premiere, Final Cut, Director etc.?

  • Save as QuickTime movie function

    I have QT Pro 7.6 and since I downloaded Safari 4 the save as QT movie button is no longer available.

    Did you repair permissions & restart after updating?
    Safari 4 is BETA = buggy. So expect issues. If you wish, cross-post over in the Safari 4 (Beta) Forums. You'll have a lot of company.

  • Why can't I import quicktime .mov movies into iMovie 08?

    I exported my iPhoto slideshow to a .mov quicktime movie and tried to import it into iMovie 08 and couldn't. It won't drag in, and it is greyed out if I try to go File>Import Movie. I thought iMovie 08 could support quicktime movies!
    Thx

    I tried converting my .mov file that I created in iPhoto into a MPEG-4 using MPEG Streamclip as suggested.
    Thanks for posting. My original post was not to address conversion of an iPhoto slideshow in MPEG Streamclip, but rather its saving in an MP4 container in order to strip the "Tween" track that iMovie '08 doesn't like. However, while reviewing your comment, I noted that the iPhoto slideshow export options have changed and no longer offers the "full animation MPEG-4/AAC" compression format. Unfortunately, my original post is now outdated, so here is an update:
    1) The best approach is still to use QT Pro if you have it. I too the morning off and created a quickie tutorial which demonstrates how you can do this. CLICK HERE TO VIEW
    2) Since you seem to be having problems with MPEG Streamclip when making conversions, I also put together a secondary quickie tutorial demonstrating how GarageBand can be used to make your iPhoto slideshow iMovie '08 compatible if you don't have QT Pro. CLICK HERE TO VIEW
