(can you play)Playing 3GP & 3G2 files in Quicktime 7.1.1?

I am trying to play 3GP and 3g2 files (cellphone media) in Quicktime but the playback is scrambled, but you hear sound.
I researched on the web and on the Apple website, and both claim that Quicktime should play these files. It Doesn't for me.
Anyone out there have any suggestions for me? Am I missing something here?

This version of Divx is reportedly compatible with Tiger and QT 7:

You could also play them with this freeware video viewer: VLC

    My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
    The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
    As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
    1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
    2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
    Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

  • Can you play/view swf files on adobe air for android?

    Hi, yes; I'm new here, as well as to Adobe Air, and I'm still trying to learn the ropes around here, and I apologize in advance if this has already been asked, or I have placed this question in the wrong forum.
    The thing is, I was wondering if it was possible to play my SWF files via adobe air for android; and if so, how? Thanks in advance either way.

    Can you please give directions where can i clear that cash.
    Anyway i don`t think its the case, because this is first time i hooked phone to internet, and first time i launched Android app store.
    Edit:
    I went to https://market.android.com and there is Adobe air app. But when i try to download it says that my device doesn't support it (Samsung Galaxy GT-I5500) By default it comes with android 2.1 and doesn't support Adobe air, but i upgraded firmware to 2.2.
    Maybe that is the reason it doesn't show me Adobe AIR in app store - based on my phone, not my Android version ?

  • Can't play HD .mov files (in Quicktime, iMovie, or FCP)

    Hello,
    My Powerbook (bought in 2004) is senile and having various problems (see below for more details), so perhaps this issue can't be fixed without fixing the other stuff (or getting a new computer)... but just curious.
    I'm helping a friend with a video project, and he brought over his small Lacie external HD with his footage on it-- recorded with an HD video camera, then imported into iMovie HD, now simply a bunch of .mov files in a folder.
    When I try to open of the files with Quicktime Pro, it gives me a white screen and plays the sound, and tells me the "component is missing", and that i can try to find it on the Qcktime site, but I couldn't figure out which Codec to try (and you have to pay for them all?). I also tried updating my Quicktime to 7.4, and the exact same thing happens.
    When I try to open them with iMovie 4.0.1, it says "Can't open [this file]; skipping and continuing".
    When I try to open them with FCP 4.5 HD, it says "Codec Not Found, you may be using a compression type without the corresponding hardware card"
    Any ideas? Should I try erase-and-install with my whole system, after a backup onto my own external HD? I can't reinstall FCP because my disks are in America (I'm in Hong Kong), but even if it doesn't work with that, is there a way to make it work in iMovie?
    Thanks very much--
    Samantha
    PS- Background on my computer troubles of late-- in December I was having some problems with various things, which led me to try and repair the hard-disk, which didn't work. Some of my questions/conversation are on this thread.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1256737&tstart=0
    Then for Christmas I bought DiskWarrior, ran it, but it couldn't repair the disk/replace the system because of some "error". Which makes me think I have some serious Hard-disk problem-- although the hardware seems fine according to SMART. So right now i'm just trying to get through a few of these big projects before trying erase-and-install with my whole system, and if that doesn't work, then probably investing in a new computer. Time to upgrade perhaps.
    Was having some weird problems before, so ended up getting DiskWarrior,

    Hi-
    Referring to this post:
    "The AIC codec is installed by iMovie HD and is just what its name implies. Intermediate (temporary conversion from one file format to another).
    Your G4 will not be able to play the file past a few frames per second because of the large dimensions and high data rate even if you did find the codec. You'll find editing it using QuickTime or iMovie a frustrating experience because of those facts."
    I'm a little confused-- do you mean that the G4 computer is just not strong enough to edit HD files "even if I did find the codec"? I was planning to edit it with Final Cut Pro (have never edited a HD project before), but is my computer not adequate? Let me know if there is any way for me to tackle an HD project with my current laptop-- otherwise I guess I really need to look into a new one.

  • Can't play .tod video files with QuickTime X and Lion

    I have a JVC Everio videocamera that generates .tod files in HD. With MacOs Leopard and QuickTime 7 I had to install the Everio component for QuickTime and it worked, so I could watch the videos in QuickTime and import them to iMovie HD. But with QuickTime X and MacOs Lion I cannot do any of those, and I cannot even install the Everio component. If I change the extension from .tod to .mpeg, QuickTime can reproduce it, but I cannot import the file either to iMovie HD or to iMovie of Lion.
    Any suggestion?? I would rather prefer not to have to convert the files before importing due to time spent and to possible loss of quality.

    .TOD is as you imply a JVC video format. It contains MPEG2 video and MPEG1 audio which makes it similar but not identical to what might be on a DVD.
    MPEG Streamclip for Mac (free) can read .TOD files and save them to other formats, including more standard MPEG2 formats. However in this case MPEG Streamclip is still going to require the chargeable Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component. Using MPEG Streamclip to convert to say a standard .m2v and .m1a pair of files would not lose any quality as you are merely changing the container and not the video and audio, if you changed to H.264 then you would potentially lose some quality.
    It is still possible to install QuickTime 7 on Lion and QuickTime 7 will work with older style QuickTime components, possible including the JVC TOD one. You need to download and install QuickTime 7 from here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
    This link may also be of use http://www2.cli.co.jp/products/ne/update_qtc_for_gzhd7/qtc3e_update.htm
    Note: If the JVC QuickTime component is only written for PowerPC chips it will never work on a Mac running Lion, in view of the apparent considerable age of Everio cameras this seems likely.

    No it can't, you need SWF to load the file within.

  • Can You Play Multiple Playlists Without User Intervention

    Can you stack and play multiple playlists? ie if you had three playlists of 50 songs each, could you pick all three, play all the songs in the first playlist, when it is finished move automatically to the second playlist play its songs then automatically move to the third without user intervention? And if so, can you play each of these in shuffle mode?

    There's no "impromptu" method of doing so that I know of.
    As far as un-impromptu methods (it's always fun inventing words), it will depend on whether you want to listen to this mega-playlist on an iPod or just with iTunes.
    If it's just with iTunes, you can go to the File menu > New Folder command and create a new folder which we can call the Mega-Playlist folder. Drag the three playlists in question into that folder. When you select that folder and press Play, iTunes should go through all the songs.
    If it's on an iPod, since Folders don't transfer over from iTunes, the only solution I know of would be to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes that will -
    Match any of the following rules:
    Playlist is the first playlist +
    Playlist is the second playlist +
    Playlist is the third playlist.
    Synching this mega-playlist to your iPod will allow you to select it from the Playlist menu.
    Shuffle mode would shuffle songs from all three playlists together, not shuffle songs from the first playlist before moving on to shuffling songs from the second playlist before shuffling songs from the third playlist.

  • E72: Can't play 3gp videos from Gallery, Realplaye...

    I have this E72-1, version 021.024.246.01 which was doing ok. But one day I installed Coreplayer, ran it a few times, and then uninstalled it and problem began. Now I can't play 3gp vidoes that are in my Gallery. It says "System : general error". I can play mp4 shot with the phone video camera though. However, I can play the 3gps with real player. Is there a cure to this disease or do I have to hard-reset it? Please help.

    Hi,
    Restore the factory settings from the handset (Menu > Control Panel > Settings > General > Factory Settings). If it doesn't work, format the handset using the code *#7370#. It will prompt for the security code, 12345 is the default code.

  • Can't Play VCD *.DAT files in QT 6.5.3

    I can't play vcd *.dat files in QT 6.5.3 (OSX 10.2.8) But i can play them using QT 6.0.2 in OS9.2.2 What do i need to do to play them in OSX using QT 6.5.3? Thx for the help...Dave
    Mac G4 AGP, PB G3 Bronze, PPC G3 Biege   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    Yes, tried that.... QuickTime/open movie/go to vcd/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/choose....I then get error message 'Couldn't open file AVSEQ01.DAT because there was an input/output error' So then i tried oening from the desktop.
    Is this a commercial VCD or a Toast burn? Asking because I know mine was made by Toast back in OS 9 when the MPEG-1 extension was included with Toast. If so, am wondering if you have an OS X compatible version of Toast installed. I have the latest version of Toast installed and was thinking it might include some component that is allowing me to open the AVSEQ01.DAT file without error. (I get the error when I attempt to open via the OS 9 VCD script in the CDI folder since I no longer have access to "Classic" mode.)
    VCD/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT/double click...I then get error message...'Chinese Input Method Plug-in Converter' Open file error.
    Chinese Input Method Plug-In Converter appears to convert input text to Chinese "graphic equivalents" contained in .DAT extension files. (Plug-in probably works as some sort of a text-to-graphic buffer.) It may simply be selecting this as an "application/utility of opportunity" here and generates an error when it reaches the end of the "look-up table" without finding a valid match.
    In any case, I take it your VCD does not contain a QT reference movie (.MOV) that points to the AVSEQ01.DAT file as the movie resource.

  • How can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements?  It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Element

    how can I play MPEG-4 files in Premier Elements?  It plays in iTunes but I only see video in Elements

    LGSh
    Lots of questions, lots of answers needed as mentioned by Hunt. But please include what version of Premiere Elements that you are using when you reply.
    How are you importing these file into your Premiere Elements project?
    After you drag your file to the Timeline, do you see both an video and audio component (on Video 1/Audio 1) or is there nothing on the Audio 1 track? If you can see a wave form or file on Audio 1, have you checked all the program's volume settings including Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and the ASIO settings?
    More later.
    Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything written.
    Thank you.

  • Can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?

    I would like to put music under my audio books and my question is "can you play 2 songs at the same time using itunes?"

    I am not aware of a way to play two songs at once in iTunes. However, at least on a Mac, you can definitely open and play multiple things in QuickTime player. Sooo, you could open a music file in QT Player then start it and start the audio book in iTunes. Or open the audio book in QT player and listen to that there while iTunes plays music.

  • HT204406 iTunes Match - can't play because original file can't be found

    Hi, I've uploaded 600+ tracks to iTunes Match and since deleted the original files from my computer - when I go to play them 'via the cloud' only a handful of songs will play, the rest say 'can't play because original file can't be found!
    I assumed the purpose of iTunes Match was to create a copy of all your tracks so you could access them from anywhere.
    Hoping someone can help/offer advice?
    Cheers, Lee.

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool have moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you might be able to reconnect iTunes to them using my FindTracks script.
