Cannot stream QuickTime .mov files - Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have been unable to stream movies using the new QuickTime Player 10 - ironically the Apple Event of yesterday! It won't play in either Safari or Firefox. The window will open but no streaming will take place, nothing at all is downloaded.
I have both QuickTime Player 10 and QuickTime 7 installed on my system.
There appears not to be a preference pane for QuickTime in the System Preferences any long, so I am unable to check the streaming settings?
Movies already downloaded into iTunes will play just fine in QuickTime Player 10 however.
Can anyone help me with the streaming problem? It's not an ISP problem as if I use another Mac still running old Leopard with older Quick Time 7 Pro, it works just fine.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hello and thank you for your responses.
The problem is solved! It was Glimmerblocker preventing QuickTime 10 from streaming. I turned off Glimmerblocker in the system preferences and all is well.
If anyone else is having this problem, I suggest you look at your ad blocking software (like Glimmerblocker).
Thank you for your kind suggestions - response was greatly appreciated. Sorry about my profile still showing a PowerBook - that is very out of date. I am running a 2 year old MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.

Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
- QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
- iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one. iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
Anyone else see similar behavior? Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

Quicktime Player in Snow Leopard cannot download Apple HD Trailers

Hi!
I've had this same problem since couple of months ago I bought this MBP 17". I cannot watch the movie trailers from Apple. They download normally the first 45seconds (1/4 movie) or so, but then it completely stalls. The download rate drops dramatically. What can I do?
I've got 10.6.2 and all latest updates. Quicktime player is 10.0 (90.3.1). I can watch the same trailers with Quicktime on Windows. Also, curl is able to download the files easily. So, no problems in my network or the servers that I'm connecting to. Originally I thought that it might be a problem in the servers and I just figure that I'd try another day. Here is example with curl:
$ curl -A "QuickTime/7.6.2" -O http://www.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h1080p.mov
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 166M 100 166M 0 0 1101k 0 0:02:34 0:02:34 --:--:-- 1245k
So, as you can see, it comes with nice 1Mb/s speed all the way. However, opening the same URL in Quicktime player only manages to load about 1/4 the file in the same time because it first starts with over 1Mb/s speed but then drops to about 150kb/s according to iStat. Basically I cannot watch any of the trailers.
So, the problem is definitely in the Quicktime player in Snow Leopard. Can't find anything with Google for this. Please, does anybody know how to get Quicktime Player to download correctly? Thanks in advance to all hints!

Anybody any ideas?
Do you have access to a site having progressively playing/caching HD video files that play in the browser? It might be interesting to see if the problem was with the ISP. I recently switched to 25 mbps FIOS because my broadband ISP had thousands of correctable errors/second every time it rained and the ground became soaked. (Appears they had underground cable problems and were slow to update to above ground lines.) Finally, I just gave up and switched providers. In any case, in the test I previously ran, the playback data rate for the HD file as it played during cache downloading was in 8-9 mbps range.

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.

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.

How do i export a sequence to an uncompressed quicktime .mov file?

hello everyone.
I have a little problem.
I have a 20 secs sequence that needs to be exported from my FCP 6.0.3 to UNCOMPRESSED quicktime .mov file. Its HDV footage.
These are the steps I've taken.
I go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICK TIME MOVIE. I have all the settings to current setting, and I have checked the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option.
When I'm done exporting, I get a .mov file, but its a Final Cut Pro file, not a quicktime file.
This means I can't open in a PC, where I have to do some compositing.
I would really appreciate if anyone can give me some advise or tips on how to get my export .mov file to be a quicktime file uncompressed .
Thanks
-r

The Uncompressed 4:2:2 codecs only come with Final Cut Pro. Two ways:
1) In FCP, go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Set format to QuickTime Movie and click Options. Go to Settings under Video and set Compression Type to None. Put all the sliders at maximum. Click Ok, deselect Prepare for Internet Streaming and click Ok. Export the file.
2) This is the one I personally prefer, as it will be compatible with any system, even if they don't have QuickTime. Go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Under Format, select Image Sequence. Go to Options, set Format to TIFF and enter the FPS. Click Export and you will have a series of sequentially-numbered images that most compositing apps will treat like one big movie clip.

How to play quicktime .mov files on iphone

I would like to be able to play quicktime (.mov) files on my iphone4s but I get a message that my file cannot be played on this iphone.
I created the file in keynote, exported it to a quicktime movie with the manual advance option.
My goal is to be able to use iphone to connect to a projector with a iphone to vga adapter and thus project my presentations from the iphone.
But I cannot import import it using itunes to the iphone.
Wondering if there is an app that plays quick time movies or some other option.
The reason I cannot export from keynote is that it does not give the option for manual advance.
It only provides a fixed time option.
Appreciate any help
thank you
jac

Quicktime 10 and Snow Leopard

I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard and I wanted to watch some previous keynote speeches and the latest rock and roll one, but the video is all blocky on Quicktime.
When I load it up the sound is ok but the video is all blocky and the movement is jumpy.
Any ideas?

The Quicktime downloads on Apples web site aren't full installations of the program, they are only updates. If you did by chance deleted Quicktime X repost back for instructions on reinstalling Quicktime X. You do not need to reinstall the OS to get Quicktime X back.

Reading P2 quicktime mov files

Hi.
My computer opens & can read the Quicktime movie files that are created through Final Cut Pro from P2 cards. My client's computer cannot. Is that because she doesn't have Quicktime Pro?..or something else?

Quicktime mov files aren't playing on Client's computer

Hi.
My computer opens & can read the Quicktime movie files that are created through Final Cut Pro from P2 cards. My client's computer cannot. Is that because she doesn't have Quicktime Pro?..or something else?
TIA,
Heather

Drat. I was afraid of that. I have footage from 3 events that I'd like them to be able to view for future editing projects. Converting every clip isn't realistic, nor do I want to spend the time burning them DVDs..although I may have to. Is there any other way to create a readable file for them via the Log & Transfer process?

QuickTime Movie File-Uploads on iWeb but no playback on the internet

Hello, Forum Techies,
Always trying to go beyond and want a movie clip on my website, but I may have met my match
I have the following QuickTime Movie file uploaded to the web page as noted below.
The file extension is MVI_038-#3-13. The file size is 663.8 Mbs
The website space is 1 GB using 10 Mbs upload speed.
The movie clip does not play on the website.
Question arising: I believe the space is sufficient on the website, but not sure if it this is a internet speed issue? I have other movies mounted successfully on another website, but their file size is not a huge and the webspace is not as much.
Therefore, I am curious to know if it is an internet speed issue?
Here is the URL for the page that I have included the movie clip:
http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Backgrounder_Trail_Scouting.html
It's a well visited site internationally and because it is a major project in our County, documenting the construction of a new trail is an interesting feature to include on this website.
Hope there is a solution. And, YouTube is not an alternative because for some strange reason I cannot get signed on no matter what efforts have been made with Google and I am not able to find a channel that applies to this kind of a movie, which is not entertainment, musical, etc. It's an information-based movie.
Thanks!

This is the movie :
http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Media/MVI_0368-%233-13.MOV
It's not an extension, it's the filename. Sanatize it.
Size = 632MB (Megabyte)
663.8Mbs = Megabits per seconds = speed
Videosize = 1280 x 720px
Filesize after download = 10.3MB (download stops at this size)
Nobody will wait for this.
Resize you movie to something smaller ie. width x height = smaller filesize.
Use common sense.

Quicktime Movie File not syncing

Hi have just recently purchased an Apple TV and love the functionality of it, but I cannot seem to sync the movie files from iphoto which were taken from a digital camera. The files are described in itunes as 'Quicktime Movie File' but it seems to only sync MPEG4.
What happened to the slogan - 'if its in itunes, its in Apple TV'?
I have not experienced this yet!
Help!
Thanks,
Jarrod

Yea, that slogan is a little overboard.
You will definitely need to convert anything you want to watch to MPEG4 if it isn't already, and (further) it needs to meet the specifications of what ATV will play (that is to say, ATV won't play any MPEG4 but one that falls within the parameters it can handle. Luckily they are broad and reasonable parameters).
Your best bet is to right click on the movie in iTunes and choose "Convert to Apple TV". That ought to do it.

Remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard

Hello!
I am experience some problems with QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard in cooperation with Perian and DownloadHelper (a FireFox add-on).
Every time or better said sometimes I use DownloadHelper with Firefox under Snow Leopard on my MBP a process called "QtKitServer" crashes and I get a black screen.
And yes, I installed QuickTime 7 on this machine. I also tested this on my iMac (QT X only!) there this doesn't happen.
This must be a bug in OS X. But I need this tool on MBP without getting any black screens just because of QtKitServer crashes.
So, I found a solution: I want to get rid of QuickTime 7.
But how can I remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard?
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Hello folks!
I found a work around. A few minutes ago I deactivated the icon preview for "Desktop". And until now everything seems to work.
It seems to be that in this moment when DownloadHelper and Firefox are writing a file on the desktop who isn't downloaded completly QuickLook wants to access that file, can't understand it, and crashes.
So it must be a Mac OS X / QuickTime bug.

Playing movie under Snow Leopard

When I play a movie (.mov) under Snow Leopard from inside iPhoto, it uses Quicktime 7. When I export the same movie from iPhoto and play it in the Finder it uses Quicktime X. As there any way I can make it use Quicktime X from inside iPhoto?

OK, thanks, although not the answer I hoped for. Not a big issue, I just prefer Quicktime X. Probably I will update when iLife 10 (or 11?) comes out.
