Can't watch movie after export for web

Hello,
I purchased QuickTime Pro 7.4.5 and exported my first avi movie for web.
In the local disk the ReadMe.html example works fine.
But copying all files to a web folder in my web site, the browser can play just the .3gp format. The .mov and .m4p files seem being unreachable.
The web ReadMe.html example shows the jpg poster, but clicking on "Click to Play", after a while, Firefox shows the QuickTime logo with an interrogation mark (IE simply shows a black rectangle).
Here you can evaluate my test: http://www.astrogb.com/movies/Nebrodi/ReadMe.html
Since I am still, I'll greatly appreciate any help.
Regards,
Giovanni

Your link is no longer working
I have had similar problems embedding QuickTime and am currently looking for the solution. In the meantime, one fix that I have found is to amend the included script files in the header of your html:
You must go to the following URL and download these three files:
http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/ac_quicktime.js
http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/qtp_library.js
http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/stylesheets/qtp_library.css
put them on your webserver, in the same directory as your "ReadMe.html" file (or whatever you renamed it).
In your html file, replace:
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/ac_quicktime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/qtp_library.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/stylesheets/qtp_library.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
with:
*<script src="qtp_library.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>*
*<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>*
*<link href="qtp_library.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />*
This should enable the videos to work.
If you are still having trouble, your webserver may need to be configured with the correct MIME type for m4v, mp4.

Colour problems after exporting for web

Hiya
I'm struggling with a colour issue on a website I've recently designed.
The original design was done in Photoshop CS3 and includes a think purple band at the top of the page (http://www.deliciouscafe.co.uk/index.html). After slicing up the design and then 'saving for web and devices', the purple changes - it appears less dense and should really be a much deeper shade.
Not sure if i'm using the wrong export method. I've tried jpeg, png and gif format but nothing seems to make a difference, however I've not tried changing any of the other settings in the save for web and devices dialog box so was wondering if something there would help?
Any assistance would be much appreciated!

Convert (don't assign) the color profile of your images to be sRGB.
When saving for web, be sure to include the ICC color profile for sRGB.
Don't mix GIF andd JPG when you are trying to maintain consisten color. Use the same format. (background.gif has a purple that may not match quote.jpg)
Web color is a mess, especially on Mac. The steps above are the best you can do.

Can't watch movie after updated to firmware 2.0.2

hi, all,
after updated to 2.0.2, when i try to watch some movies , the screen showed "the movie could not be played", however, such movies can be played with the firmware is 2.0 and download from itunes store.
please help, thx.

This problem can be resolved by rebooting your iPod touch. Hold down the power button and wait for the upper red slider. Then slide it to shut down, and after a minute, click the power button for 5 seconds to boot it up.

I can't watch movies, it is asking for latest adobe flash. After updating adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

I can't watch movies , asking for adobe flash. After installing the latest adobe flash still doesn't show movies.

The other day, there was someone here who figured after quite a while that he had plug-ins disabled in Safari. He could have installed Flash a hundred times but never get it to work.
Of course, you do have plug-ins enabled. Yes? Quick double-check? Safari -> Preferences -> Security tab -> checkmark at "Enable plug-ins"...

Quicktime Export for web

i have exported a video for web using quicktime and when i try to upload it, i wont play... i have the video uploaded (the actual .mov) but i dont upload another file that is exported (the .m4v) because is like 200MB and the .mov is only 4KB. how can i make the player on the web, play the .mov file instead of the .m4v? hope u understand... Thanks in advance.

How to make it smaller in file size than your original 5.5 GB file?
You just did when you used the "Export for Web" feature and it was reduced to 200 MB's in file size.
200 MB's is still much too large for Web use as your viewers will not wait for your file to download.
Break up your 25 minute "masterpiece" into 5 minute "chunks" or compress it further by using:
Export > Movie to QuickTime Movie
Reduce the data rate, file dimensions and choose H.264 video codec and AAC audio. Forget "stereo" to reduce that part of the file. Reduce dimensions to reduce the video part of the file size. Cut the "frame rate" by 50% to make even a smaller file size. Your Web viewers will probably not notice.
Do some tests with a one minute sample file to learn what works best for your file. Compare the new exports (side by side) by using the "Play All Movies" feature of QuickTime Pro.
After a few sample exports you'll quickly see which data rate, frame rate and video compression codec works best for your file.

I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x?

I suddenly can't watch .mov files with the QuickTime Player x? There is always the message, i should look after new software! Can you help me?

Handy-dandy cut and paste to the rescue!
you need to install some other stuff to get the full file functionality back.
Here's the list.
Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
then VLC, - http://videolan.org
DivX - http://divx.com - and the
Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
A52/AC3 downloader: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/21875/a52codec - In this installer package there is an audio A52Codec.component. DO NOT USE IT! Throw it out and use the one that is linked below.
This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
These are codecs you should see.
In System/Library/QuickTime
     AppleIntermediateCodec.component
     AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
     DivX Decoder.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
     AC3MovieImport.component (you may or may not want this component, in some instances it causes conflicts. In my system, it doesn't. Who knows why? I don't.)
     Perian.component
For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, this is the one you want, here: https://code.google.com/p/subler/downloads/detail?name=A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
.avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
Good luck!
Deb.

Exporting for Web Usage

Hi. I have no doubt this has been discussed, but am hoping I can get a more concrete answer. I would like to export some shorts to put on my web site. I know there is a balance to be struck between quality and file size, but the choices that can be made with settings leaves me confused.
I am using the latest version of Final Cut Studio Pro. What are best settings based on people's experience to export for web usage? This would ideally be a quicktime file in the end.
Thanks.

I usually use Sorenson 3, quarter screen size and they usually come out pretty manageable. I would use the H.264 codec but I want to be sure all who come to my site and view the Quicktimes and some people don't have QT v.7 yet.
Allow me a shameless plug as well: http://www.scottsimmons.tv/
If you look at any clips on my site and save them as a quicktime movie, then open them an playback in Quicktime player, you can hit command + i and see the movie info where you can see exact specs on each clip. That can give you an idea of quality and file size. It's really an imperfect science.

Export for web problem

hi, i've used the export for web option in quicktime pro but all i get when trying to play the movie is the quicktime logo with a question mark.. note that this is locally on my imac.. i've also tried uploading the folder on my server and play it from there to no extend.. i dont know what's going wrong.. the files exist and im even able to play them by scrolling down to the bottom of the ReadMe.html and clicking on one of the versions links directly..
any advice?

QuickTime Pro can play audio from MPEG-1 formats but can't extract it during export.
Solution?
Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert the MPEG-1 to other QuickTime formats.

Question about file size when using "Export for Web"

Hi!
I created a .mov file and worked to get a great balance between file size and quality so that I could deliver it via the web and make it easier for end users to see the video on a slower connection.
My question: When I use "Export for Web," my .mov file is converted into a very large .m4v file--more than double the size of the original file. I know that this export option is to optimize the file for a wide variety of users/internet speeds. Am I correct in guessing that the end size is not an issue? I would post the .mov file instead, but I really like the option of embedding into a html page along with the "click to play" option.
Bottom line--is it better to post the smaller .mov file that i originally started with or to go ahead and link to the bigger .m4v file that was created with the "Export for Web" option?

"Export for Web" is a feature of QuickTime Pro and it makes 4 files and the html page code for easy copy/paste Web page editing.
The very first file is called a "reference movie" and it links to the other 3 files (56kbps, 900kbps and 1.5Mbps). It, and the page code, "read" the connection speed of the viewing hardware and "serve up" the correct file based on that connection speed.
In nearly all cases the "Desktop" version would still be smaller in file size than the original source. The times the file would "increase" in file size would be when an already compressed was used as the source file. You can find out more about your source file by opening it in QuickTime Player and viewing the Movie Inspector window information.
There are dozens of other html "tricks" that could be used if your source file is already compressed but you want a different display size:
Page code to show "aspect" or scale="tofit". This code allows values "outside" of those found in the actual QuickTime file be used for the Web page display. A 320X240 QuickTime .mov file looks pretty good at double size (640X480) but the file size would still be that of the source file.
"Poster Movie" is another html trick that loads the Web based file directly in the QuickTime Player application (bypassing Web page layout restrictions). These files are also known as "Presentation Movies".
Another method is the QuickTime Media Link file (.qtl). These are simple text based files that are used as a "direct link". These use simple XML (Extensible Markup Language) and are easily created in any text editing application. The simple syntax has amazing control over a simple QuickTime .mov file. You can launch (and quit) the QuickTime Player, display at other dimensions and even embed "links" inside the display.
Some of my files as examples:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/Lemon_Trees/ a "Poster Movie" style.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/RedneckTexasChristmas.qtl
A QuickTime Media Link file. A tiny file should download to the viewing machine, launch QuickTime Player, present the movie and it even includes a "link" to my Web page.
Edit: It appears you must now double click the .qtl download to launch QuickTime.

How do I batch "Export For Web" from Quicktime, one at a time

I have 20 quicktime movies in folder A.
I would like to "Export for Web" for all 3 options (iPhone, iPhone (cellular), and Desktop) to folder B.
How do I create an automator script to complete this action one at a time, until they are finished converting?
Also, I do not want to delete the originals.
I have never used Automator, but I'm guessing it should be easy to execute a shut down command when it is done...
Thanks a lot!

iTunes does not handle the import of photos/videos from the iPhone's Camera Roll.
If this is not the computer you sync your iPhone with, you should have been provided a warning message that your iPhone is associated with an iTunes library on another computer and when trying to transfer any iTunes content from a different computer, a warning message is provided indicating that all iTunes content on the iPhone will be erased first.
When connecting an iPhone to iTunes on another computer, none of the options under the various tabs for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes are selected automatically. This means you had to select Sync Contacts under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your wife's computer.
Assuming you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, connect your iPhone to Tunes on your computer and without syncing, under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences below the Advanced section, select Contacts for replace info on this iPhone followed by a sync.
For importing photos/videos from the Camera Roll which can be done with a computer that is not used for syncing the iPhone since syncing with iTunes is not involved.

Similar issue here when exporting AVI files captured from Canon G9 to iPod.
QuickTime Pro quits with: Failed: process terminated unexpectedly (11).
Oddly, if I start from a power off and run QTime the error does not occur.
Of course powering off for every export is a real PAIN IN THE Axx but it is a work around on this end.
I have yet to try 3rd party software but this is error occurs with Quick Time Pro Ver 7.5 build 149.5.

Export for web doesn't work (X and 7).

I use the export for web feature a lot. I find that I have to bounce back and forth between Quicktime 7 and X because sometime this feature will work and sometimes it doesn't. There's no consistent reason I can figure out why the applications will or will not work properly. On some occasions I get some small 8Kb file. On other occasions, I only get the audio.
Any ideas?

Uhh, the system requirements for Photoshop CC state you need 2 GB RAM, 8 GB recommended. This is likely your problem.
