Can't view Quicktime Movies on the web

this is what im trying to view
http://www.solent.ac.uk/360/hamwic_bedroom.html
it worked a while back but not now, now i get the light blue logo with the question mark
cant change file types in preferences they are not greyed out they dont even show as a list, it says programatically set
i found qtp whatever it was in regedit changed everything to full control
moved quicktime .xml file onto desktop from apple computer folder
uninstalled and installed quicktime a few times
tried with ie8 google chrome and cometbird
no luck
quicktime is terrible, i dont know why so many things on the web need it to play, they may as well ask notepad to open the files.
cheers

I'm having the exact same problem... Don't know when but IE and Firefox are refusing to play quicktime files. I can run the quicktime player and play MP3 and MOV files (which is what I normally do) but nothing is playing from the browser.
I've tried pretty much everything I can think of... in the end, QuickTime is not showing up under Set Default Programs or Set Program Associations (via QuickTime Preferences->Browser->MIME Settings or File Types).
I can install QT-Lite, and everything works for the browser... except now I don't have a standalone player that plays MP3 and MOV files because I cannot have QT-Lite installed alongside QuickTime.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jason

Can't view quicktime movies in email anymore?

Before the 2.0 updates, I could easily view quicktime movies sent to me via email. Ever since the 2.0 update, it says it's not able to play the movie. Why is this? And what do I need to do to fix it?
Thank you.

Thank you Quicktime Kirk, That worked. I just have one other question. I dragged the plugin to my desktop as you directed, but should I now toss it? or, uh, what?
Thank you again,

Can I convert a book made in iPhoto to a quicktime movie for the web?

Hi,
Please help, I have a great book that I have made in iPhoto and had printed but would like to post it to my mac website for people to be able to view with all the photos, titles, and audio. Is this possible?
Thanks.
Jim

James:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There are two ways you can do that.
While in the book mode, do a Print to PDF in the Print window but select the Send PDF to iPhoto option. This will start an Automator process that converts each page to a jpg file and imports it into a user determined album in iPhoto. NOTE: when the process is complete and it's time for you to name or select an album a window will be presented. BUT if often stays behind the other windows and you'll think the process has failed. So make sure you can hide the other windows if it doesn't present itself to you. It took me several tries before I realized what was happening.
Once the pages are in iPHoto as separate files, you can try:
1 - put them in an album and add to an iWeb photo page where they can be viewed individually or as a slideshow.
2 - create a slideshow in iPHoto, export to Quicktime and post that QT movie file to an iWeb page.
3 - create an iDVD project, add a slideshow and import the stills into iDVD to create a slideshow with music. A great gift to go along with a book. This method is explained in Tutorial #6.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How can I stop Quicktime movies opening my web browser?

Sorry if this has allready been brought up but I spent an hour searched the forums for an answer (And longer on google).
My issue is that certain unsavory people seem to be exploiting an ability of quicktime to launch the default web browser and goto a page they designate. This unfortunately mean often I will download a movie (Named something it isn't typicly), run it and suddenly have 10 internet explorer windows pop up opening assorted **** sites, sites demanding spyware and malware installations and on at least one occasion site containing scripts to automaticly install a virus on loading.
I'd like to how I can prevent this from happening short fo outright not using quicktime. Is there an option to disable a movies ability to link to web pages or a feature to block their attemtps to do so?
Thanks.

No. I don't have any viruses or spyware and I havn't been hijacked either. Look a little background on me, I work in tech support dealing with such issues for a living. Regardless I've had this happen on brand new computers I've set up and for the sake of been thorough in eliminating that idea as a possibility I followed every step and recommendation your links gave me and they turned up nothing.
The problem is a function of certain .mov files which basically activate an imbeded hyperlink within the file, opening the default browser and loading whatever site the link lead to. If I could find a tame one that didn't send you to pornographic sites etc. I'd be happy to host it for you to test out yourself but frankly the only .mov files I've seen that do it are usually **** films themselves named something else (For instance one was named SydneyOlympics2004Opening) with the intention of luring unsuspecting victims into downloading them and running them in quicktime forcing them to load all these malicious pages. It's fine for me on my home network where the security settings are setup so hazardous sites can't actually do anything and the addition of pornographic images to my temporary internet folder has no concequences but at work that could get you fired and heavily fined in goverment employment.
On a side note how another program could respond to a .mov file playing in quicktime opening web pages specific to that file and at set points in the movies timeline is beyond me. It would have to be a plugin for quicktime.

Fast start for Quicktime movies on the web

Hi All,
So I finished my first FCE project and posted the movie on my web site. But Quicktime doesn't start playing the movie until after it is completely downloaded. This doesn't happen with the other movies I have on my site, and as far as I can remember I used the sames options in Quicktime export. I selected the "fast start" option in the box "Prepare for Internet Streaming", as I always do.
Is there something more that I need to do when exporting a FCE project? Or is there another option that I forgot in the Quicktime export settings?
Thanks in advance for your help
Florence

OK, I tried again and again and again... and I finally know what I did wrong. The movie was exported from FCE with the fast start option, but then I opened in with Quicktime to make a small change (define the poster), and apparently this also removed the fast start option. Now I'll know not to change anything after the export :-/

Quicktime movies on the web

I have placed short quicktime movie clips on my website saved as H.264. Unfortunately some can see it others get nothing or just sound. File was originally created as DVCPro HD and exported as H.264 with 1000 bit rate and loaded on my site. Is there a particular format and settings to export with that everyone can view and that holds the same good quality as H.264

No such animal. No matter what compression format combination you use, there will always be someone out there who cannot or will not use the the required software to view your files. In the case of H.264/AAC, viewers are limited to those using QT 7 or an equivalent media player. MPEG4/AAC would allow you to extend compatibility back to QT 6 and equivalent players but it still does not guarantee any particular user will have the required software and means you would have to increase the video data rate to maintain the same level of quality. You will simply have to use whatever compression format you think will reach your primary target audience and not worry about the rest or offer the content in multiple compression formats and hope for the best.

I can not view pdf. files on the web.

I have downloaded the latest Adobe reader.
I can open and view existing pdf files on my desktop.
I can not however view any pdf files from web sites.

Yes, it was working.
Last week I cleaned up my hard drive using an app. called OmniDiskSweeper.
I deleted what I thought was an extra copy of Adobe Reader 9.
Today, I tried to open an pdf file on a website and just got a dark page.
I tried several different websites with the same result.
I was able to open existing pdf files located on my desktop.
I then downloaded and reinstalled both Adobe Reader 9 and Adobe Reader 10.1.3 .
I am still unable to open and view pdf files on web sites.

View iphone movies on the web

I have several short movies taken with my iPhone that I would like to post on my company website. Please advise the most direct (easiest, quickest) way to do that. Thanks in advance.

It depends on the supported video format of your website for most of the time. I think the best way is to convert your videos to MP4/FLV with the video converter since these two are the widest supported video format on the web. The process would be very fast and really convenient. You can try. the conversion should be three steps: add file->choose the output format->convert
Hope it would help ~

Can't Open Quicktime movies on a web page

...is that going to be true for all Quicktime movies on all sites?
If so, that's a bummer.

Daniel Cronin,
This link has information on preparing movies for viewing online by an iPhone:

Click on the drop down menu for "Ensure a Great Audio and Video Experience".
You may need to register for Apple Developer Connection in order to view that information.
Hope this helps,

What are the best settings for Quicktime movies on the web?

I've created a movie and exported it from IMovie. One version is 7.3 megs, and loads fairly quickly when I have it on a web page. I used broadband medium settings from IMovie to create it. I also created a file that is 19.3 megs using broadband high settings from IMovie. That file is way too big to load in a reasonable amount of time. Thing is, I can't stretch the 7.3 meg version (or don't know how) to make it any bigger. Is there a way I can make it bigger in the web page? Maybe that's a Dreamweaver question. Thanks.

You would need to add a few lines of code to your Web page and that depends on which html "style" you've used.
For the "object/embed" style code you would change your dimensions from those found in the source file to those you want to use in your page. Then add scale="tofit" in the embed tag code and param name="scale" value="tofit" in the object tag.
Don't forget to add 16 pixels to the height to show the movie controller (if used).

Help with authoring and posting Quicktime movies on the web

Greetings all,
I recently launched a new website (www.articles-of-war.com) with a 'movie trailer' page (http://www.articles-of-war.com/pages/down_trai.html) similiar to the movie trailer pages on the Apple site.
The page has links to Quicktime movies of different sizes (small, medium, high, HD, etc). When I click any movie, though, it takes a long time for them to appear before they can play (the blue Quickime "Q" logo appears as the entire movie loads, for example), rather than playing almost immediately.
When I built the trailer pages, I made sure to set "autoplay" to "true."
When I authored the Quicktime movies, I used these settings:
H.264
Prepare For Internet Streaming (Fast Start)
Data Rate: Automatic
I'm sure I'm skipping some simple step to make these movies play right away - is there anyone that can offer some advice?

You lost the "fast start" feature when you added the annotations and then used a regular "Save".
Use "Save As" (QuickTime Pro) to restore the fast start feature and upload those new files again.
You should also consider a more modern audio codec than IMA 4:1 to reduce the size of your audio track.

Can I export Quicktime movies with the same quality/compression as DVD

I would like to export iMovie HD 6 projects as quicktime movies of about the same size, compresson level and quality as I get with iDVD. I would like to watch them on my macbook, but don't want the dvd interface. My attempts have tended to produce something close to full quality that requires too much disk space (10 to 12 G per hour) or tiny, overly compressed videos that only an ipod could love. Does anyone know how to set the custom settings to get this?

if your projects are Standard (=not HiDef), the iPhone preset in the export options work good for my standards..
or..
Export with Quicktime/Options... h264, original res of your project.. ='small' and good looking..

Creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9.

Help needed creating a QuickTime movie with the new Canon T5i camera in iMovie 9.0.9. The project is done and looks good...I need help understanding what settings need to be set so I can make a QuickTime movie in the highest quality that would fit the ratio of 16.9 to be sent out to my YouTube page. I played around with some of the settings and have not come with the right setting for the video. I want the highest quality with the lowest amount of megabytes…thanks

I would suggest using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and choose 1920x1080 (if your source material supports this).
That should work well in YouTube.
If you want to go further with custom QuickTime settings, here are some that should work, but in my experience, it will be no better than using SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE.
follow the instructions below to create a .mov video that will work on YouTube:
In iMovie, select Share > Export Using QuickTime
Next, you may want to check your Options to verify that the following settings are correct:Video settings
Compression Type: H.264
Frame Rate: 30 is preferred. 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97 are also acceptable.
Data Rate: Automatic
Key Frames: Automatic
Frame Reordering: Unchecked
Audio/Sound settings
Format: AAC
Click Show advanced settings and choose Constant Bit Rate as encoding strategy
Other settings
Size: Choose the original size of the video
“Prepare for Internet Streaming”: Fast Start

How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
<pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.
