Director crashes when trying to play quicktime movie

I'm using Director MX 2004 and Quicktime 7.
I've imported a .mov quicktime file into my cast, then
positioned it in the score. Everytime the playhead reaches the
movie file, director crashes. (unexpectedly quit message).
I've just updated to Quicktime 7.1.1 but I'm still having the
same problem.
Please help!

Thanks Jay...
I try to change the codec of my QT movie...
But in MAC the proyector runs ok but in Windows not, please
be quick in the develop of QuickTime Asset Xtra !!!

IE and FireFox crashing when trying to play QuickTime movie

I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 and QuickTime 7. I'm trying to play some movies of my own within a browser but am experiencing problems with the browsers crashing. Sometimes, they work the first time, but after that the browsers crash. The error messages are:
Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close.
firefox.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
I've been trying variations of the HTML code but here is the last one that actually worked the first time in FireFox but not anytime after that:

The movie is 8MB is size. I've checked my mime settings and the Flash player is not checked.
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,

You've failed to enter a "source" for your HREF "target".
Use a complete URL to the QT file you wish the "quicktimeplayer" to "target" and your page should work as you want.

how to fix it?

i also want to add that this video shows status " stopped (err = 503)"

Video-DVD playblack ist unstable

I have to correct this. Video-DVD playback is working fine.
There exists only the problem with audio CD's.

Imovie crashes when trying to play on full screen or when i try to upload to idvd any ideas i have reinstalled software?

Imovie 09 when trying to play on full screen the program crashes also when trying to burn using idvd the program crashes. i have tried reinstalling software but get the same problem. Also some of my old projects that were ok before are doing the same, any ideas.

Instead of Sharing to iDVD you want to Share to Media Browser. This will save the movie to a special folder inside of iMovie that you can then see from inside the iDVD program.
Choose Share > Media Browser (it's at the top of the list)
Choose the Large size and let it roll. It will take a while for it to work.
When it's finished quit iMovie.
Open iDVD, Create a new project.
Go to the button labeled "Media" in the lower right hand corner of the iDVD window, and click it.
Just above that is a window with some buttons across the top. Click on the button labeled "Movies".
Inside the window you will see an iMovie star icon, double-click the triangle beside it to see all the movies being shared. Your iMovie project will appear there.
Drag the iMovie project into your iDVD project.
The quality of the final DVD is visibly better, sharper than if you were to Share directly to iDVD. So bypass Share to iDVD altogether and see if it stops crashing.

WD TV Live HD media player keeps crashing when trying to play a recent *.mvk movie

I am new to this community and I would like some help with the following issue please?
I have a WD TV LiveHD media player with the following details:
Firmware version 1.06.43_V
P/N WDAAP0000NBK-00
S/N [Deleted]
I use this device as a standalone media player; connected to an WD external HD via USB cable and connected to a Sony TV with a HDMI cable.
Recently I have downloaded some new movies (.mkv extension). When I navigate to the folder and select the file to play; it tries to play it, displays information of the length of the movie in hours, minutes and seconds and simultaneously crashes. It does reboot again after couple of minutes; however any additional attempt will result in the same outcome. Device has no problems with the old files (i.e. movies from 2014).
I have performed a hard reset, deleted the .wdtv folder, etc. with no luck...
Thank you all in advance.

...how do you explain the fact that the very same file is played by Nero on my laptop without any problems?That's kinda an odd question -- apparently Nero supports the file. Are you assuming that anything you can play on your PC should be playable on a hardware based media player where the codecs are burned onto silicon (not software)? Let's skip to the meat of the issue. Please post the full TEXT output of MEDIAINFO for such a file.

Well, unless someone else chips in here to help, your other option is to contact Apple's technical support. Their U.K. phone no. is: (44) 0870 876 0753
I could be wrong, but as I understand it, if you've never contacted Apple before for the particular Mac you're calling about, then your 90 days of complimentary phone support will begin from your very first call.
Here is the "Contacting Apple Support and Service" page:

Itunes/quicktime crashes when trying to play video podcasts and 3GP files

Hello all,
I've searched these forums and didn't see anything that might help me, so if know of any solutions posted already, please let me know. I have an HP laptop(AMD Turion 64 X2 2.0 GB processor, 2 GB or RAM) running Windows Vista Home Premium. I used to be able to play 3GP files at one time with Quicktime, but now I cannot. Then, the other day I tried to play a video podcast and it starts to play, then says, "Itunes has stopped working". Quicktime does the same thing with 3GP files. This was before my update to Itunes 8.0. It happpened with Itunes 7.5.11.1 or whatever the last version was. It obviously does the same thing with Itunes 8. I've tried completely uninstalling Itunes and quicktime, then reinstalling them both and I still have the same problem. Just a note: I tried playing the video podcast via Windows Media Playey, and it worked fine, except for no audio(I don't think WMP has AAC support) so I think something is conflicting between Itunes and my computer. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

Itunes crashes when trying to play videos

My itunes will not play any video (movies, music videos, previews in itunes, etc). It crashes and shuts down itunes every time i try. any ideas or help? I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of itunes already. They will play in quicktime, just not in itunes. They movies i have in itunes are a mix of digital downloads and movies bought from itunes store. They worked a few deays ago, and after the new software update, they no longer will.

It didn't work for me. I open itunes 10.7 and try to play Schindler's List HD which is an iTunes digital download I got when I purchased the movie and voila! iTunes crashes harder than a NASCAR driver trying to close the distance. I can't play this movie in VLC, DIVX, Windows Media Player, iTunes, nothing. I also have Bourne Legacy HD with same issues. Can't play movies that are HD. Any help here would be great.

Itunes quits when trying to play purchased movies from itunes store

I tried to open a previously purchased movie and crash again. I rebuilt the xml file and cleared preferences. Any ideas?

Hi, did you find an answer to the problem, as I have the same one (with Wiindows 8)

Error message when trying to import Quicktime movies

All of the sudden, I'm getting this weird error message when trying to import various Quicktime movies. I've never seen this message before:
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
Any thoughts why this might be happening? Any input would be appreciated.

I now see that two of them have been encoded using the AAC, Sorenson Video 3 codec which is not one I've seen before so I suspect that would be it.
The other one I'm having trouble with is encoded using Integer (Big Endian), Animation. I know I've seen the Integer (Big Endian) codec before so do you think that because it's animation that's a problem? I imported several other uncompressed files that were encoded with Integer (Big Endian) that worked fine so that's my suspicion.
Tom, you've always been very helpful on these boards for my questions. Thank you so much.
