DW CS3 Streaming Quicktime Video

I put a Quickime video in a web page following the instructions. When it appears in a browser it loads first, 3 minutes , and then plays. How do I get it to stream when a visitor clicks on it?
<embed src="Audio_Board_Instruction.mov" width="600" height="475" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download" autoplay="false"></embed>
I do have an option to put the video in other formats.
Thank you as always.
Cheers! Phil

Well first off, you are probably not really "Streaming" the video (playing right as the data is being downloaded), but rather "Progressively downloading", meaning that the video file is FIRST being downloaded in the visitors Temporary Internet Files folder and then being played back from there.
Most video files will START the download process and then after just a few seconds of data being downloaded into the cache,.....the video will start to play while AT THE SAME TIME, the rest of the video is being downloaded into the buffer.
One of the many reasons that .mov video files never really caught on for Web delivery is the problem with the MOOV Atom... or the index file that tells the video player how large the file is, so the video file can figure out how much/when the file has loaded enough to start the video file playing. Unfortunately, many .mov files have this very important index file at the very end of the video file.... so the entire file has to download before it knows to start to play....
so just SWITCH that index file to the beginning of the file like most other Web friendly formats do. Check out:

Clip Notes + Streaming QuickTime = broken?

I guess this is more of an AME or Reader issue, but figure that PPro users are the most common users of Clip Notes...
I've tried exporting a Clip Notes PDF with streaming QuickTime video from both PPro CS3 + AME, PPro CS4 + AME, and standalone AME CS4, and all of them report an error: "Acrobat has encountered an error while playing this media clip:"
If I use QT but select to embed the file, it works fine. If I use WMV, either embedded or streamed, it works fine. I have confirmed that I'm setting the URL correctly in the Clip Notes settings. The QT spit out by the Clip Notes export plays fine in QT Player, so I know the video itself isn't broken. I'm attempting to play/view these using Reader 8.1.3.
Obviously, the solution would be to not use QT, or to at least embed it, but it's a much larger file than can be comfortably sent to my client (who isn't that technologically savvy). I like the QT option because of the ability to easily navigate/rewind the video.
Anyone else experiencing issues with Clip Notes and streaming QuickTime?

I'm using Vista 64.
I was having the same problem with the transport controls not showing up.
I set AcroRd32.exe to run in XP mode and that fixed the problem with the embedded movie file.
Transport controls show up.
Thanks.
I hoped that would also fix the QT streaming problem.
However, if I select "Streaming" and upload it to my server then when the Clip Notes tries to play the file it says "
This happened also before I set AcroRd32 to XP mode.
No problem with "Clip Notes Windows Media" format. It uploads and plays fine.
The .mov file is on the server. I can play it fine in a browser.
Any ideas why Adobe Reader won't play a streaming .mov file in Clip Notes, but will play a streaming .wmv file?
You really need to use QT so you can scrub the timeline.
.wmv files don't let you scrub!
Adobe why haven't you after all these years made Clip Notes use flash?
If you did it would truly be cross-platform.
Thanks.

Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

Streaming Live Video to I-Phone

Are there specifications for streaming live video to I-Phones?
I work for a webcasting co. and we would like to offer our webcasts to our clients via their cell phones. I haven't been able to find any documentation relative to live video streaming to an I-Phone.

Hi,
Since the iPhone browser can play MPEG-4 movies, it should be able to play streamed MPEG-4. Flash and Windows Media isn't an option.
Fortunately QuickTime Broadcaster is free, but you'd need a QuickTime Streaming Server to "bounce" the stream off. Setup Broadcaster to do an MPEG-4 video that's within the playable specs (given that it's a live stream, you'd want something as small as possible, so I'm sure the iPhone could handle it). If you're wanting your clients to access the stream over 3G as well as WiFi then you'd need to keep that in mind when determining the video size/bandwidth.

Can this MacMini (2007) handle streaming HD video?

I'm looking at buying an used MacMini (2007) to act as a dedicated media server. I want to make sure the one I'm looking at can properly handle HD video streaming.
It's a 2007 model with the 1.83 ghz Core 2 Duo processor and 2gb ram upgrade.
I'm nervous because the 2.0 ghz macbook I've had for years has trouble streaming HD video. But that computer has been overheating and slowing down allot for the last year or so. Barely functions anymore.
Thanks, Apple Community.

Thanks for the replies. You guys are great here.
I figured out what the problem was... or at least well enough to be able to fix it. A while ago, I had been converting the mkv files to m4v, like you do, but iTunes didn't seem to like them, even though it did accept them (sometimes it would corrupt the files). So, yesterday, I decided to convert one of the mkv files using Quicktime with the "Movie to AppleTV" option. I added the file, without copying it, to iTunes, and pointed it to the file on the TC. Voila, it plays on AppleTV beautifully.
So, for some reason, iTunes and ATV do not like the other converted files. Most of them I converted in Quicktime with the proper settings to convert it to mp4, so I don't know why there is an issue. I've used HandBrake, as well. Anyway, I'm glad the files will stream from TC if they are converted a certain way.
But while we are on the subject, does anyone know of a way to convert it for AppleTV like this but still have it be able to go on iPhone, too? iTunes always says that the file type is not supported on iPhone, even though it is a H.264. If I use HandBrake to convert for iPhone/iPod Touch, then that of course works, but I'd rather not have two types of each file.

IPhone 4 and Apple TV not streaming all video through apps

I have an iPhone 4 and tried every streaming combination I could think of. However my iMovie app, iTunes video preview and MobileMe gallery quicktime video's do not work any longer. I am not sure if it is because I updated my iRemote app on the iPhone. It was great having those apps work because I could save a video and send it to my Mobile Me Gallery and launch the video and then stream it to my Apple TV 2 generation. All of those apps only stream the audio now, but no video. Anyone else tried these apps with success or had the same problem? My Youtube and iTunes video works fine.

Okay, so I am mistaken, but it is also not clear with Apple Airplay, what video streaming will work. Apple should be clearer on what does not currently supported airplay such as movie or Quicktime. I am a big fan of lists that have checkboxes next to the items that are supported. However, with iOS 4.3 I think my "imagination" and "mistakenness" will finally be reality...so my question is mute.

Streaming Quicktime Won't Display (But did in earlier version)

I'm a professor who had some streaming Quicktime movies embedded in the previous version of Keynote. They all worked great this summer.
I upgraded to Keynote '08 and erased the old versions, only to find that the Streaming Quicktime movies no longer display. (One self-contained Quicktime movie works great.)
I tried changing the "Flash" choice under preferences, but - not surprisingly - that didn't do anything.)
Any suggestions?
(Sadly, I have to teach tomorrow and I REALLY don't want to have to install the old version of Keynote.)

I just tried with the streaming video from here.
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/d7625zs/event/
And, while the audio plays, the video doesn't refresh. It displays the first frame then nothing else. I haven't figured out a workaround for it, unfortunately.

Streaming iTunes video across network

Hello!
I ripped one of my DVDs to my hard drive and converted it to a Quicktime movie using the H264 codec. Now i would like to stream the video using Airport and Front Row. When I try to access the video in Front Row, there is an error message saying it can't play the video. Am I missing something? The video can be played in iTunes, but not on the other computer.
Thanks for your help!

More tests have revealed:
(1) Sharing videos from my second mac, a MacBook Pro, to the iPad Videos app works fine.
(2) When i switched to a small, test iTunes Library on the iMac and tried Sharing with the iPad app, that worked fine, too.
(3) However, using my main iTunes Library on the iMac still gives me a problem when trying to share videos to the iPad app. That problem persisted even though I removed all videos that didn't come from the iTunes Store from that main library. I tried downloading all my iTunes store movies and TV shows to the iMac, but that didn't help. Nor did reverting all those videos back to the iCloud, such that non of iTunes's videos were seen as physically present on the iMac.
I am now in the midst of re-creating my main iTunes Library file, using the "iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists" procedure found at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451. More later ...

After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component????

Hello,
I was wondering why this warning is coming up every time I open After Effects-
(After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component.)
It also reappears every time I go to a different program then back into After Effects.
I am currently on a-
MacBook Pro running OS 10.5.5
2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
After Effects CS3
Quicktime 7.5.5
GeForce 8600M GT
2 external storage drives (Western Digital, Lacie)
Matrox MX02
I just upgraded quicktime and this started appearing.
ANY IDEAS.

Sorry,
Here;s another. I have Quicktime Pro installed. I have CS3 installed. I also have AE v7 which runs a few plugins I am still thinking work in v7. CS3 runs OK but in version 7 it gives me the "Couldn't open Quicktime Video Output Component " notice. I had a client working in v7 so I tried to work in v7, it was a bad idea. I lost days of work and finally just went to CS3 to get the job done but couldn't use one anothers files between versions.
What can I do to get the AE v7 Couldn't open Quicktime video output component fixed. Make it simple if you can... I'm an artist.
Thanks

Couldn't open Quicktime video output component.

I was able to find 2 other posts in regards to the error. The one didn't have enough information to be answered and the other had a link to an apple page that no longer exists. Sorry for the repeat but I can't seem to find an answer that applies to me.
The "After Effects warning: Couldn't open Quicktime video output component." message appears when I open AFX and is waiting for me when I come back to it from another program. In AFX's Preferences window under Video Preview I have set my Output Device to Digital Cinema Desktop. No options ever show up in the Output Model drop down. As you can probably guess I am trying to get my second display to preview the composition full screen.
For other reasons, I just had to reinstall OSX (10.5.7). Then I installed Adobe Production Premium CS3 and the Final Cut Suite HD.
My computer is a 4 core Mac Pro with 7GB of memory. I don't have any Matrox hardware. Actually I don't have anything except the 2 DVI monitors, battery backup, analog speakers, mouse and keyboard plugged into the computer.
I have held down apple + option + shift while starting up AFX to reset the Preferences as well as replaced the DesktopVideoOut.component file with one from another working computer in the /Library/Quicktime folder finally I have tried Repairing Disk Permissions.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Benjamin: The Digital Cinema Desktop is a Final Cut feature, even if implemented as a Quicktime Video out component. As you can see (by the lack of options) is not really meant to be invoked from other applications which use standard Quicktime video out for external previews. That requires a device with a proper QT video out driver. You could use an inexpensive device, like a Blackmagic Intensity with an HDMI to DVI cable, to feed the second display.
Or you could just ask AE to play RAM previews at full screen, in which case you don't need to enable video previews at all. Together with the ability to take into account a calibrated display's profile, this should make for very high quality previewing on computer monitors.

Quicktime videos in new web-page not loading.

I'm completely baffled by the following and hope someone might be able to help me.
I'm busy with a clients web site which has a gallery where quicktime video clips of their projects can be viewed.
http://www.arconafrica.netfirms.com/gallery.html
We've gone trough the process of placing each clip in its own page, but for some odd reason when you open a page some videos will start to download and play, other pages just give you a white Question-mark over the Quicktime logo. The really bizarre part is that some videos that we can't download and play on our computers, downloads and play on our clients computers, others play on ours but not theirs... it's really weird as all the settings for each clip is exactly the same.
All the machines that we tested this on are Mac's, we haven't tested a Windows machine yet.
I have a suspicion that I might have made a mistake with the encoding of the videos to Quicktime, maybe I've selected a setting that I shouldn't have which plays havoc with various servers... It's the first time I'm trying to put video clips in a web site...
The video clips where converted in compressor. Using the Quicktime 7, H264 at 300 or 800 kbps streaming. As they are all PAL files I've selected a frame rate of 25 per sec at Medium quality. Hinted streaming is on.
I'd appreciate any advice!!!

Part of the error could be caused by your out of date page code. Yours only uses the embed tag:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60883
When I went looking for your individual files I could only find one:
http://arconafrica.media-nf.netfirms.com/Quicktime%20movies/Martin%20Keyzer-H.26 4%20300Kbps%20Streaming.mov
The %20 is used for spaces in file names.
No need to use hinted movies as your file are not "streamed". They download and only need "Fast Start".
Double check your server to be sure all of the QuickTime files are properly uploaded and are named correctly.

Saving Quicktime videos from the web?

I downloaded quicktime pro because I wanted to save other quicktime videos off the web. But it turns out I can only save one or two.
Is there a way to save the other videos?

Exactly what is happening when you are trying to save the other videos? Need details.
Please post the link/URL of the video website for others to check for you.
If you are trying to download streaming videos, make sure QT streaming settings are enabled.

Recording User Events (such as pauses) during Quicktime video watching?

Hi everyone,
There's likely to be some way to do this but I spent 1 hour googling and couldn't find anything useful so I thought I'd give this a shot in case any of you have any hints or advice!
I'm interested in embedding a Quicktime video in a webpage and having a client stream it. I want to be able to detect when the client pauses or stops the video, when the client restarts the video, etc. Essentially I'd love to be able to log data every time the user triggers some event (such as by clicking the pause button). I know one can trigger different events using sprites, but I think those are only for inside the Quicktime video itself, not for catching events on the player (such as hitting the pause or stop button).
If anyone knows how this might be possible to do, I'd love to hear about it. I think the Mac OS X server might have some related capabilities, but it's about $500 which is above my budget limit. (I need this capability for a side project)
Thanks a lot!
powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Have you installed any applications to your n95-4 (n958GB) phone, and installed it to either phone or mass memory? The problem only starts occuring after installing applications to phone or mass memory.
I am not sure if the issue starts after an application is isntalled on phone memory or mass memory.
I have duplicated this issue and IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE N95-4. I duplicated the issue on 2 NOKIA N95-4's. If you install an application, lets say for example youtube for mobile and Yahoo GO on phone memory; the video recording will start to pause every 3 or 5 seconds. This only happens when mass memory is used.
The pausing will not occur if you switch to phone memory. There is no fix and I hope nokia is aware of this problem and hopefully they are working on a fix. I hope the next firmware update will include the fix.

Streaming my video from youtube to my flash website

Hello Everyone,
I am looking to stream my video from youtube to my website. Any help would be great. I am using Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.

AS3: Playing YouTube Videos in Flash

QuickTime Video

Inserting a QuickTime video into iWeb is no problem, and I have no errors in publishing all pages. However, upon viewing the site, there is no video - only a white QuickTime square in it's place.
The video is a web-streaming format export from iMovie (2.6MB, .mov format), so there should be nothing wrong with the file itself.
Where am I going wrong?
Cheers!

That sounds like the QuickTime 7.1.6 disease.
