Curruption of Quicktime .mov & MPEG4 in iWeb

I have for a couple of days now in vain tried to replace RapidWeaver with iWeb (1.0.0/1.01).
The main purpose of my page is to present QT movies.
Using Transmit I was initially successful in posting (not using .mac) all five movies.
However, having pushed the "Stop" button during an update rendered two of the movies unreadable. In spite of having replaced the original documents for each one of them (even changing names), those two remained inaccessible.
Interfering a second time with an updating process, resulted in all movies going corrupt (by the time, the original two had been removed altogether). Leaving me with no choice but to return to the more stable RapidWeaver.
Is there anything a total amateur like me can do about this?
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I solved the problem by simply removing Safari and using an other browser. I'll have to remove the sentence on my webpages that advises people to use Safari.

How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb?

How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb? Can anyone help me please?

You have to create a QTL file that opens the QT movie in the player. Based on the settings it opens in Full Screen.

An alternative is to publish your movies to Vimeo and embed the movie in your page. These movies can play full screen.
Or use DivX of Flash Video.

Quicktime Movies on published iWeb require right click to start???

I recently added several videos to my iWeb site. While in iWeb, the movies play fine with a normal left-click of the mouse on the play icon below the "movie screen". However, when I publish my site and go to my URL, I along with anyone else accessing my site, have to either double click the "movie screen" to get the movie to play or have to right-click the play icon. So frustrating... has anyone else had this problem? Anyone out there know how to fix it?
The movies are exported from iMovie using the Export with Quicktime feature within iMovie.
Please help!!!!

The movie is overlapping the footer. Go to the Inspector/Page/Layout pane and increase the height of the content of each movie page by 100 pixels, publish and try again.
Click to view full size
You can see the overlap by typing Command+A while viewing the movie page in Safari.

Viewing iWeb Quicktime movies on PC

Greetings,
I've posted several Quicktime movies on my iWeb site and am getting reports from most of the PC users who've tried to view them that the movies won't open. I know that Quicktime 3 or later is needed. Is there any other advice I could give PC users toward viewing these movies?
Thanks!
BnB

Yes, Quicktime 3 is wayyyyyyy outdated.
Post a hyperlink on your web page with this link
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
add hyperlinks on you site in iweb easily by highlighting your text-
then menu>
insert>
hyperlink>
webpage>
the inspector will open on the right hand side of your screen
first drop down menu should say link to "external page"
second input your full web page link in the next text box
repeat as needed.
Good Luck

How do I change a Quicktime poster frame in iweb?

I have a quicktime movie on my iweb page that starts in black. I set a different poster frame in quicktime but it still displays as black until you play it in iweb and when it's published.
Is there a way to change this poster frame in iweb so that it doesn't display a black frame before you play it?
I guess I could edit one frame at the very beginning of the original movie but I would rather not have to do it that way.

seen this thread?

Has anyone ever tried diplaying a quicktime movie iniweb?

• Movies: Copy QuickTime movies into this folder and you can use HomePage to display them on your Web pages.
this is what the idisk says. u can put quicktime movies in your iweb site. anybody tried this? if so did it work?

This applies to the older Homepages system. If you put QT movie files into this folder, then log into your .Mac Homepages account and start a movie page, you will be prompted to select a movie from this Movies folder. This is unrelated to iWeb, but it could certainly be used in concert with an iWeb site.

Resizing Quicktime Movies for use in iWeb + published to .mac

Hey everyone,
I have some home movies I want to post on my .mac website but the files are just too big. The movies are already in Quicktime format from my camera. It just takes forever to upload and forever to download when you view the site.
How do I go about dropping the file size of my quicktime movies? Any suggestions should be helpful.
Thanks

Smart move to get QT Pro! It will now be possible to do this:
When exporting From iMovie or Final Cut, the expert settings choices can be daunting to understand. Here's a simple solution. Whenever you find a QT video online that has the download arrow (down facing arrow) at the far right of the play time line and you're impressed by the quality you see, once the movie has fully loaded, click on that arrow.
With QT Pro you'll see a drop down menu appear that offers 'Save as Source' or 'Save as QuickTime Movie'. Usually either choice gives you the same type of file. Save to your desktop . Then open and play. As the movie plays, go to the Quicktime menu at the top of your screen and choose from 'Window' ...Show Movie Info. Eureka! There are almost all the settings used to create that movie
To keep a photo record of this movies settings (if you don't keep the movie) line the player and the info window side to side and do a Apple key+Shift +4 targeted picture snap. Store the pic you just created in an iPhoto folder labeled 'QT Info Pics' as a later reference. In fact, Apple key+ Shift + 4 (targeted) or Apple key + Shift + 3 (Full Screen capture) used with 'Get Info' windows and iPhoto storage is a great quick & easy record keeping system.
Have fun!

PS Been to Memphis, loved it. Irmla Thomas has a great CD called My Heart's In Memphis
PSS Once dragged to an iWeb page you can alter the physical size (reasonable amount) of your movie while file size stays the same.

Convert a movie from Quicktime to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip

I want to convert a movie from Quicktime (.mov) which I created in Final Cut Express to MPEG4 in MPEG Streamclip to be able to see it on my Samsung TV. The problem is that the uncompressed movie, comverted only from Quicktome to MPEG 4, stops almost every moment on my Samsung TV. I have connected an external harddrive in NTFS there via USB 2.0 (Samsung TV cannot play movies in HFS etc.). The uncompressed movies are bigger than 4GB in Quicktime.
I got the following information from Samsung (in German):
"Sie berichten, dass Filme zum Laden stoppen, die auf Ihrem MacBook Pro flüssig laufen. Bitte beachten Sie hierbei, dass der Fernseher hinsichtlich Rechenleistung nicht mit einem Computer vergleichbar ist. Weiters verfügt der Fernseher über einen USB 2.0 Anschluss, was die übertragbare Datenmenge ebenfalls begrenzt.
Die allgemeinen Spezifikationen für Videodateien finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch ab Seite 248:
http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201112/20111208190112921/Web_GSDVBE UA_GER.pdf
Auf Seite 251 finden Sie für MPEG4-Videos folgende Beschränkung: Bei "mehr als 1280 x 720: max. 30 Frames".
Als Alternative schlagen wir Ihnen vor, Ihr MacBook Pro per HDMI direkt an den Fernseher anzuschließen, die Videos auf dem MacBook Pro abzuspielen und den Fernseher als Monitor zu verwenden. In diesem Fall entfallen die vorher genannten Beschränkungen."
I ask here how to use MPEG streamclip (free version; I use 1.9.2) so convert my movies into MPEG 4 so that I cann watch it on my Samsung TV.
I filled out "Bildrate" "30" but this did not work. I have chosen less quality but there are still - less - interruptions and I find it laborious to test different versions of less quality so that it might work.
I ask you also because I want to create my movies to give it to other people via the internet (f.i. via rapidshare) but I need a smaller size of my movies and do not know all the different TVs my friends have. I cannot imagine that it is not possible to create a movie in MPEG 4 that cannot be seen in many TVs via an external harddrive?

I know that I can do that also in FCE. It takes much more time to convert a movie into MPEG4 than to export it as uncompressed movie in QuickTime which I can use f.i. in iDVD to burn a DVD or watch it on my MBP.
But I don't know the versions of TVs of other people if I want to send them the movie via internet f.i. via mydrive.ch etc. which have limited space if used for free. So which settings to choose for an output in MPEG4?
For my one use it is o.k. if the movie can be seen correctly in MPEG4 on my TV but I can also watch it via my MBP on my TV via HDMI.

HD quicktime movie create page with iweb and host externally?

I made a 3
min HD movie the file is 1.5gig I have an account with
blue host that allows me 300gigs of space. I uploaded the movie no problem.
Now i want to make a web page with a link to that movie using iweb.
So in other words i design the simple page on i web and than upload it to
bluehost. How do I size a quicktime movie to be the correct size example
852x480? on the templates the movies are to small?

How did you fit a 1.5GB file into 300MB's of space?
What viewer is going to wait two or three hours (weeks on dial-up) to view a 3 minute file?
Your best solution is to link to file and let your viewers download it. Just use the complete URL as your link.

Uploading Quicktime Movies to iWeb

I've exported a photo slideshow with music to Quicktime movie format, but even though I've selected the small size file, when I try to upload it to iWeb, I get a message saying that the file's too big. I can't figure out how to make it any smaller, and it already looks to me like the quality is compromised -- the pictures are blurry in the smaller file size, and I'd like people to be able to view it in a larger window. Suggestions? Thanks!

Just because iWeb says your file is too big does mean that you can't use it. It just means that it will take longer to download for the end user.
The file size selected as being "too big" is arbitrary. It really all depends on the speed of the internet connection used to download the file.
The best thing to do is publish it and see for yourself if it takes too long to download.
One of the things you can do is to put a text introduction on the same page for viewers to read while the movie downloads. As long as people have something to hold their attention they will wait a bit longer.

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.

How can I export a graphic slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote?

I export a title slide with a quicktime movie from Keynote to my desktop and it plays fine with audio. Once I insert or drag the clip into iWeb the resolution is degraded and very choppy. The resolution is 320x200 and I'm exporting from Keynote as a custom size (320x200) Frame rate: 29.97 Key Frames: Automatic Key Reordering is checked Data Rate: Automatic Quality: Multi pass. I need some help.

how large is the video and if you publish - does it still have the same horrible quality?
you might considering exporting as flash (loads faster) and integrating that into your iweb site using post-editing: http://karreth.com/index.php/articles/iframes-iweb/

Images enlarge and movies play in iweb, but not when published

Everything works fine in the program, but when published to site or folder, photos are there, but won't enlarge. The movie thumbnail shows with the little movie icon in the corner, but clicking does nothing.

On all of your pages you have an image that appears to cover the photos preventing them from being clicked on.
Move it to the back via the Arrange menu or get rid of it.
How did you add the videos to the page? If you just dragged them onto the page or used the movie page then iWeb will have to upload them when it publishes the page and all will load when the page is accessed which can cause long loading time for the page.
Also thre are some files missing for the TV page as seen in the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page. Publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open it there. Check to see if the movies play OK (after you fix that overlaying image issue). If they do then the problem lies in the uploading of the files.
If those files are Quicktime then the viewers must have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to view them. See this page on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site for methods of presenting movies that will let all computers view them: Player-Showcase.html. See the list at the right for different players you can use.

Using a small quicktime movie as a button (a hyperlink)?

Could anyone tell me if I could use a small quicktime movie as a button? iWeb seems to not let simply select the hyperlink checkbox for a quicktime movie. I would like to be able to allow my site visitor to click on an animating image (I exported from keynote) to take them to a different page.

Insert a Shape and re-size & position it to cover the movie. In the Inspector > Graphic tab, set the Opacity of the Shape to 0%. Then hyperlink that transparent Shape.

3gs playing QuickTime Movies

I created a website
ustube.me
But the iphone will not allow the videos to play because they are quicktime.
Is there any type of app that would allow the videos from the website to be viewable on the iphone? Of course if I publish them in itunes I can view them that way, but I cannot imagine that my website which is done on iweb, imovie, hosted by Apple, creating Quicktime movies (all Apple products) will not allow the videos to play on the iphone.
thanks

When exporting a movie from iMovie, there is an option for the export to make the export iPhone compatible, or iPhone and Apple TV compatible, etc. Did you select a size for the export that included being iPhone compatible?
