Codec issue for Quick Time 10.1

I have Quick Time 10.1 and Mac OS X 10.7.5 I'm trying to open a MPEG-2 file but QT asks for a codec. What do I have to do?

the file plays with VLC: do you think that I need to update QT?
No, there is supposedly nothing to be updated if the information you previously provided is correct. If this is the only MPEG-2 file having problems, then the file itself needs to be analyzed to see if the issue can be traced to a specific causal source. Is the file small enough to be emailed as an attachment or can it be posted to a server for download and analysis?
If not interested in learning why the file won't play, you can always try converting the MPEG-2/AC3 content to an H.264/AAC file using the free HandBrake converter. Since VLC can play the file, it is likely that HandBrake can convert the file since both apps share the same FFmpeg open codec support.

    Hmm, yes. Didn't notice that. Looks like it's still in development. I haven't time right now to check further, but will do later on and report back.
    Camtasia 2 for Mac is the video editor I use, but it's payware I'm afraid. You can download a free, full 30-day trial to check it out though, from here, if you want:

  • Codecs for Quick Time

    Hi All,
    1) Is there a software that can tell you for a certain file what codecs are missing?
    2) Is there somewhere where I can find a list of the latest codecs needed for Quick Time (Latest QT with Mavricks)
    thx in advance

    They're most likely either part of Perian or VLC, or simply don't exist for Mac OS X.

    The QT X v10.1 app installs in your "Applications folder and QT 7 v7.6.6 (whether keyed for "Pro" use or not) is installed in the "Applications/Utilities" folder. It is recommended you keep them in these locations so they will continue to update correctly/automatically.

  • HT204382 what is the best apple download for quick time?

    what is the best apple download for quick time?

    None. Just run QuickTime. It is part of your Lion system. It is in your Application folder.

  • HT5016 I CHANGED COMPUTERS AND WOULD LIKE TO GET BACK LICENCE CODE FOR QUICK TIME 7 PRO PLEASE!

    FOR QUICK TIME PRO THAT I HAD PURCHASED BEFORE. HOW PLEASE?

    Problem 1, multiple iTunes accounts.
    Problem 2, no access to the email associated with those accounts.
    Creating a new iTunes account simply because your email address changed makes no logicla sense.  Instead, update your iTunes account with the new information.
    If you have no access to those email accounts, you can try contacting iTunes support to see if they can assist you.

  • Thanks for helping me look for an answer. HD Codec for Quick Time?

    Thanks everybody who sent me ideas on how to play a .mov Quick Time Movie Codec HDV 720p50, 1280x720. It's for playing on TV, as well as Mac and PC. Someone suggested H264, but I thought this is for the Internet, not for HD quality 1280x720?
    Could it be that the Mac and PC people who can't play it don't have a strong enough video card in their computer? I'm looking at various answers.
    I appreciate any help gratefully.
    PS: I didn't see Helpful above the window, only Yes question answered and No.

    if you can't play an HDV file on your computer, it most likely means you don't have the HDV codec on your computer.
    It's a free download - google it and you can find it. You will have to drop the codec into your Quicktime library - it's all explained in the download. I've installed it for several people and it solves that problem right away.

  • Recent playback issues with Quick Time for Windows

    Hi there. I recently started having choppy playback in Quick Time of
    .mov files composed of some footage shot on Sony XDCAM EX. Since I do not have the Sony codec on my PC, I had these .mov files converted to QT files with the H.264 codec by editors who use Final Cut Pro. They play badly, and now, so do all other mov. and MP-4 files for which I always used Quick Time.
    Currenlty have QT 7.62.
    Would Quick Time Pro 7 be the answer for a return to normal, fluid playback???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Keith

    It wouldn't make a difference the pro version doesn't enhance the ability of what you can play or how good it plays. It just gives added feature's like being able to convert a .mov to .avi or save a file off a website.

  • No image, just sound - also for Quick Time questions

    Hey everybody!!
    I am editing a movie on Final Cut Pro, and I use Quick Time Pro to capture the clips and source them to FCP. The type of recorder I am using is an HDV, and up to a couple of days ago, things ran smoothly.
    Then I started having problems with my Mac, of a different kind, and I had a friend of mine RESTORE my system. After that, I can't work on my film anymore, cause the Quick Time files from Capture Scratch only play sound, and have a blank screen. Every time I try to open them a window box appears, telling me that Quick Time is missing some components, and cannot play the clips properly. I tried downloading most of these programms, like Divx and On2, but the clips still can't play. I also tried erasing and re-installing Quick Time, but this doesn't seem to work either.
    I must have edited and delivered this video by tommorow, so what do I do??
    Please advise.
    Thanks.
    Stef.

    First, you should NOT be capturing your clips via QT Player - use FCP itself to capture. Otherwise you have no logging information. This is bound to create problems for you, and today's issue could be a byproduct of this workflow.
    Second, once your system was restored and updated, the system and FCP software versions are almost certainly different. Different versions of software produce different results, and one possible outcome is that you cannot view clips, as the codecs have changed. So - what version of OSX and FCP were you using before the restore, and what versions are you using now?

  • ITunes won't open because it has an issue w/ Quick Time...

    I went to use my new iPod Shuffle, and I got the above error message. I tried to uninstall and re-install quick-time, as recommended, but each time I do, it claims that an instillation of quick-time is already running. It goes on to say that I should complete that instillation before staring another one. The thing of it is, I installed both iTunes and quick-time a looooooooooooooooong time ago.
    So here I am stuck, unable to remove/un-install quick-time, and so I also can't re-install it, or open iTunes, or use my new iPod. The only thing that I can think of is to tyr and remove itunes as well, the re-install them both. I am loathe to do this however, as I don't want the added headache of having to re-create my entire library after the fact...

    Sadly no... In point of fact, it seems that quicktime may not be the only culprit at work here. I tred method 1, 3, 4, & 5. I was able to finally remove the QT Systems folder, which contained the last vestiges of the old quick time program. The problem that remais, is even in trying to un-register then re-register the installer is the same for un & re-installing quick time. Apparently there is a program that is STILL in the process of being installed. It may have not been a duplicate, unfinished copy of quick time but of some other program instead. When I tried to un-register the installer, at first I got an 'unspecified error'. Then I got the 'an instillation is in progress, you must finish it before starting another one, etc, etc....' I think that I may have to either have someone try 'Method 11' instead, as it is Waaaaaaaaay beyond my limited abilities. That, or I may have to do a total system restore (after backing up all those lovely modifications and tweaks that I've made over the last 6 or 7 years, groan.... Either way it's gonna be a headache. Why is it that the windows installer doesn't allow teh user to monitor progress of any installs, and get rid of a stalled operation that's clogging the system? headdesk

  • Slow load time for Quick Time in Mail

    Does anyone know why when you receive a video file (like WMV) in Mail that Quick Time takes so long to load it? It did not use to take so long before Snow Leopard. If you click on play before it is loaded, you get audio only. Are there any work arounds or something other than Quick Time that can be used?

    From Adobe Support:  17 secs response time is a normal time interval for the "Print Settings" dialogue.

  • Need serial number for Quick Time Pro

    I bough Quick Time Pro two years ago need to reload it can’t find serial number. Have reformatted, how can I get my serial number?

    Unless you kept a copy of the email from Apple with the key or have the old QuickTime preference files in a backup, you'll have to purchase a new key. Apple only keeps order information for 18 months now.
