Can't view quicktime video files, I think I need a missing codec

I am trying to view some video that is incoded as HDV 1080i60. I don't think that quicktime has this codec pre installed. It is a quicktime file. It was created on a Mac that has Final Cut Pro. It is not a Final Cut Pro File in anyway. I think it plays fine on that mac because it has Final Cut Pro and that codec from the program. The question is can I get the HDV 1080i60 codec somewhere? Does it come in quicktime pro? Can I buy it?

No.
It's part of the FCP suite and is intended to be used as an editing codec (not for playback).

  • How can I view .avi video files?

    Neither Quicktime nor Flip4Mac plays .avi movie/video files. I dislike Quicktime for that main reason, lack of compatibility with various video formats.
    I tried using FlipPlayer which I think is the same as flip4mac and same thing. it plays but displays nothing, no audio.
    What can I use or do to view my .avi files ?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    Try VLC media player seems to play anything.

    EDIT DivX will play avi, not sure about VLC not listed as supported.

  • Can't play xvid video files on my macbook-need help with this

    I have tried everything, from Perian installation, to niceplayer, divx player, vlc player, divx and xvid codecs for QT....nothing seems to work, to allow me to play xvid video files....unless I buy a converting software and spend thousands of hours converting videos in order to watch them...which is something that I am not willing to do. Anybody has a solution to this?

    have you tried the MPlayerX yet?

  • Convert QuickTime Video Files for Offline Viewing

    How can I convert QuickTime files for offline viewing?

    Even with QuickTime Pro, it is possible to protect a QuickTime video file from being downloaded directly. But, if it's not specifically protected, QuickTime Pro will allow you to download many QuickTime videos.
    If you come across a video that is protected, you may be able to use a utility like to record the video as it's playing on your screen and then save it as a stand-alone file.

  • Problem viewing some video files

    I get this problem only with some video files, not all. They are all .mov files so it's hard to tell what is causing it. What it looks like is that the video and sound plays but the video is "barred out" with thick white stripes so it looks like three is only 1 pixel size width of video showing through. almost like this:
    "menu bar here"
    Just pretend with the dotted lines, you can see the video in it's place. I tried reinstalling quicktime but it does not work. Any ideas

    It seems I have two networks available at work, one is behind our firewall, and I login to it. This is the network that I can't view streaming video. There is also a "Guest" network that I don't need to login to. This one works with the YouTube and the news site videos.
    Thus, I conclude there is a setting that WiFi network administrators can invoke that specifically can block streaming video on some protocols (whatever the ipod touch uses) and not others (whatever the Macbook uses). But the same router hardware supplying the Guest network does not block these protocols. Presumably this has to do with security on one side of the firewall(?)
    Anyway, apparently outside of the WiFi controls available in the ipod touch settings.
    Weird...

  • Quicktime video file burned to disc plays back skipping

    I'm burning quicktime video files from an external hard drive onto DVD through an external burner, soley as the file for archival purposes. When I put the disc in the computer drive, it plays back improperly - it is all there, but it skips and doesn't play clean.
    I have succesfully burned many of these discs, but this problem has suddenly arisen. I have since gotten a brand new burner, have tried different batches of discs, switching out cables, even plugging the external drives into THREE different computers.... etc. I feel like I've tried everything.
    Is this maybe the external hard drive not communicating properly? I know the file is not corrupt, as I have successly burned it in the past. I thought it might have been a burner issue, but I tried burning the disc through a laptop internal burner, and the same thing happened.

    It sounds like your older Mac can't keep up with the data rate found in the files.
    They are probably .dv files and they are never intended to be used (viewed) as a playback format. They are an editing file format with very high data rates.
    Your archives will still work when you buy a newer Mac that has more "oomph".

  • Is there a web based (or iDisk) iTunes for allowing viewing of video files?

    Is there a web based (or iDisk) iTunes type of program for allowing viewing of video files?
    I would love to have this possibility to just drop all myhundreds of "musical ideas" movies in a folder/playlist like iTunes interface and have them available for viewing web based for musical co-writers & collaborators.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    iTunes doesn't do Internet broadcast. I suggest you use iMovie to compress your files into and Internet file format. You can then use mobile me or YouTube to show your material over the Internet.
    If you want to maintain more control over the material, you may want to set up a computer to become a server. That way you can give access codes only to persons you want to see the material.
    I would look into mobile me if I was you. It sounds like you only need a small Internet presence to do what you want to do. And I think MobileMe would give you all the tools you need to distribute your material to those you want to see it. And it would do it at a very low cost.
    Good luck,
    Lincoln

  • Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player?

    Is there a program that converts Quicktime video files into Media Player video files?
      Windows XP  

    Windows Media Player on a PC plays avi and mpg in addition to the WMV and ASF files so you can either use a Windows program that generates those files from .mov format or you can use QT Pro to convert the .mov to uncompressed avi and then use Windows Media Encoder to make WMV files. Although it may be out there no one here has mentioned a PC program that converts directly from .mov format to WMV. There is a program for Mac OS that does it and I believe that company is working on a version for Intel Macs so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for them to port it to Windows.

  • I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I have changed the DNS number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 2 days and still can't find a fix, HELP!!

    I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I haves changed the DNs number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 3 days now, HELP!!!!

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

    How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts?  An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created.  Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

    Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
    Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
    En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
    Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
    Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

  • How can I view a PDF file on my IPad? I only get the first page.

    How can I view a PDF file from my Ipad, both in email and Internet links? I only get the first page.

    Support for viewing PDFs in emails and web-pages is built in to the iPad. You need not have bought an app for that.
    There are PDF apps that provide more features than the built-in functionality, but for basic viewing of multi-page PDFs no app is required.

  • How can I view the videos of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

        How can I view the videos from the internet and networking of adobe flash player that apple no longer support?

    Flash Player version 10.1.102.64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users. However, this Flash version won't work for many videos on Facebook, YouTube and other sites. Adobe's latest version, 10.2.x or later, is only for Intel Macs. Adobe will not provide a newer Flash version for PPC Macs.
    The message requesting that you download Adobe Flash Player takes you to Flash Player requiring an Intel processor. Doesn't work on a PowerPC processor. I found a hack, installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
