Embedded QT movie crashes browsers

We just got 7.0.2 Pro, converted several Matrox RT.X .avi's to H.264 videos, embedded them into simple .html and uploaded. When you go to the page, most of the time it will crash immediately. Although sometimes, depending on bandwidth, the file will download a large chunk and will play okay, until it catches up to the buffer. You can even manually scrub forward (to catch up to what has already downloaded) and it will crash. This has been tried on multiple systems with both IE and Opera and the same results.
Before clicking on any of the links, keep in mind it very well could crash your browser. Just a warning
The page is here: http://rendermedia.net/projects/c6/c6test.htm - http://rendermedia.net/projects/c6/c6.mov for the file direct. Also, http://rendermedia.net/projects/c6/c6test2.htm - this page is the same as the first, only it lacks the <object> tag.
Anyone have any ideas about the problem, or a remedy? Any help would be appreciated.

According to the link the only thing I was missing was autoplay and controller attributes. I added those but still had the same problem. However, after that I turned off autoplay and everything works fine. I guess it's a glitch with Fast Start and autoplay? Thanks for the help Kirk!

Code for Embedding Quicktime Movies in Web Pages-Question

I have been embedding QT movies in web pages for years. I used to use the embed and object tags, but due to the problems with the default settings of IE7, in regards to ActiveX, I recently changed to the javascript method.
I will paste sample code below, of how I use it, with the movie title change to sample: (of course I change the dimensions, depending on the movie size.)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
and I put at the top of the page, right before </head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
I forgot where I got this code. Perhaps from someone on this forum, or elsewhere. It seems to work with the default settings on most browsers.
I have a couple questions, however, regarding fine-tuning it a little more.
1) If it takes a while for the movie to load, users who open my pages see a static Q QT icon. How would one make the icon flash, with flashing text that says "Loading", so that the user knows that the video is loading? (I have seen that on other sites, and don't know how to do that.)
2)As said the javascript works with most browser default settings, as most have javascript enabled by default. But what if a user does not have javascript enabled? Could the code sense that, and if non-existent, tell the user to enable javascript? Or, if javascript is disabled, could the embed and/or object tags be activated?
3) The code above, that I got from someone, says "cache=false". That means that each time someone sees the movie, it has to be reloaded from the net, and not from the browser cache, correct? If so, why would one want it to be set that way? If it's a large movie, a user with a slower computer and/or internet connection would certainly prefer if it could play from the cache the next time, loading much faster. Is there any reason to prefer "cache=false"?
4)Is there any code that could be put in, to allow the user, if they prefer, to download the file,(perhaps with a right-click or CTRL-Click), instead of playing it in the browser?
Thank you very much in advance, to whomever can help with these code questions.

Thank you for your reply, Kirk,
1)Yes, I do have "fast start" enabled in my files, and they were made with QT Pro, newest version. So no, there is no "trouble with my files".
However, I would still like to have that flashing "Loading" icon when the file is loading, as I see on other sites. (And yes, even with "Fast Start" enabled, depending on the size of the file, the speed of the computer and internet connection, it can take a little time beforeit starts.) Anyone know how to create that flashing "Loading" icon, rather than just the static Q?
2)I just wondered if there was a way for the javascript to recognize if the user does not have javascript, and bring up a message if that is the case, telling the user they need to enable it to see the content. (As would happen if the user does not have the QT plugin installed.) Yes, I realize it would not work to include in the normal way the embed and object tags as well, I wondered if there was a way to invoke them only if the user doesn't have javascript. Perhaps impossible, but I thought I'd ask, in case someone knows of a way to do that.
4)Yes, I guess I could just put a separate direct text link to the movie file for downloading. I just wondered if there was a way to put that in the javascript, so that if someone right-clicks on the QT icon, they can download rather than view it, rather than use a separate link. That may also be impossible, but I thought I'd ask, and see if there is a way to do that.
Your question to me regarding dimensions--I forget which was the QT movie, that I took that sample from. Yes, I have some in unusual sizes. They are not normal movies. I don't have time to explain more now though, and that has no bearing on the questions I asked.
Once again, thanks for replying, and if you or someone else could help further with my questions, I would appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day!

Reader add-in crashes browsers

OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition v.2002 sp3
Reader version: 9.3.2
IE version: 8.0.6001.18702
Firefox version: 3.6.3
Google Chrome version: 4.1.249.1064
For a couple of months now, "embedded" .pdf files crash all of my browsers, or fail within the browser window (Chrome). By "embedded," I an referring to links which create a .pdf file and then bring it up within a web page. On these files, I have no option of saving the file to my hard drive from the link. This seems to be most prevalent on sites where a report is generated in .pdf format, or some sports websites where tournament brackets are being updated regularly.
For those pages that are a direct link to a .pdf file, I can usually save the file locally, then bring it up, and I have IE and Firefox set up to call Adobe Reader, and the files come up within Reader as a separate app.
I have uninstalled all of my browsers and Adobe Reader three times. I've deleted the Adobe folder under Program Files before reinstall. I've also ran registry clean-up programs after the uninstalls just to make sure that there were no lingering entries that might cause a problem. I've also ran the option within Reader to repair the installation.
The problem seems to have begun after an update loaded for Reader, but I don't remember which update it was. I want to say it was the update/upgrade to 9.3, but I can't be sure.
At this point, I'm not sure what else to do. When I performed the reinstalls, the first one I just uninstalled then reinstalled Reader. When that did not work, I uninstalled Reader, then all the browsers. Installed Reader, then the browsers. No success. Uninstalled Reader and the browsers again, then installed the browsers first, followed by Reader. Again, no success.
Any help that anyone can suggest would be greatly appreciated!

Seen this happen on my Win7 32b machine after Hosted upgraded from C8 to C9. Couldn't find a fix but offlining from a WinXP box worked fine.

Embedded Flash movie locks up Browser

It doesn't seem to matter which of the top three
browsers I use, but most often when you go to
a website page that automatically (or not?)
launches an embedded Flash movie, a little
window pops up inside that embedded movie
asking me to click Allow or Deny.
But NIETHER is clickable, the browser is locked,
nothing can be clicked and ALL other tabs are locked
and cannot be clicked either.
I have to hit CTRL+ALT+DELTE to kills the
browser in Task Manager. .A HUGE annoyance,
that comes unexpectedly because you don't know
when an embedded movie will be on the next page
you click.
How do I stop that Allow/Deny message popping up??

Dailymotion embedded flash movie not working anymore

I cannot seem to get Dailymotion embedded flash movies working. The movie is just a black screen. The same embedded movie on the same webpage works in windows. (Non-embedded) movies on the official Dailymotion site still works though.
This happened only recently. I thought maybe it was a flash 10 issue, but after rolling back to flashplugin 9, the problem still remains.
Does anyone has the same problem?

Usually when a browser has an issue playing a Flash file it is due to the embedding code that is used in the html page. Can you compare your code to another page's code to see what differences there are? You should let Flash generate the embedding code rather than using some other software to do it if that is what you did. Just have Flash publkish and html page, test that page in your various browsers, and if it works, copy/paste that code in place of what you have now.

QuickTime 7.0.3 Plug-in crashes browsers

While trying to view h264-encoded QuickTime movies on a webpage directly, many of these movies crash the browser, whether I use Firefox or IE. Does anyone have a solution for this issue? I don't believe this was a problem with 7.0.2; at least I never noticed it.
It happens quite frequently for me, though it does seem to be something about the particular movies. (Though they play just fine in the QuickTime Player.)
Every once in a while I get a warning window from Firefox that says "Illegal operation in plug-in" before the crash, but most of the time it just crashes the browser app completely.
Dell XPS Windows XP Pro 7.0.3 QuickTime Plug-in

Cleaner hasn't been updated in at least a couple of years (all indications are that it's a dead product; the last version was a beta, never finalized) and does not recognize QuickTime 7 as a valid version. So he probably needs to use something else to handle the compression, though perhaps just avoid using a version preference setting in Cleaner might work (doubt it, though).

IPhone: Using embedded QT movies that either Loop or Loop Back and Forth

Hi to everyone,
I'm working on a very simple iPhone app:
it has several buttons that launch different QuickTime movies embedded in the application, that will either Loop or Loop Back and Forth.
The desired looping behaviour is already set within QuickTime itself (those settings are available in QuickTime's View menu).
So far it doesn't seem to work, as the iPhone's SDK doesn't seem to recognize these QuickTime settings of Loop or Loop Back and Forth.
I've been trying to find advanced documentation on the matter, with no luck.
Does anyone knows if it's possible to create an iPhone application that has embedded QuickTime movies that either Loop or Loop Back and Forth?
If it is possible to do so, can you please post some code (or links) explaining how to proceed?
If the feature is not currently supported, does anyone knows if it will eventually be supported by Apple (maybe in a future SDK revision)?
While I don't know the entire context the SDK engineering team has to contend with, it seems to me it should be rather simple for Apple's iPhone SDK to simply accept the settings already put in place inside a QuickTime movie.
Many thanks in advance for any feedback on this!

Well, my programmers have come back to me and the news is not good.
The QTMovieLoopsAttribute is not supported in the SDK's QT Kit.
I'll now call it SDK's *QuickTime Kit Lite*, if you don't mind.
*QuickTime Kit Lite*, the key audio/video toolbox available for development of applications on the iPhone through the SDK, provides a single option:
a Play / Stop button.
The only other thing available (I think) is the option to hide the play/stop controller. That's it.
Apparently, there are several unofficial, private frameworks that give access to lower-level QuickTime functions and that may provide a way to actually loop videos, but chances are that an app using these unofficial frameworks would get rejected by Apple upon submission for the store.
I'm still waiting for more info and the final word from my programmers, but from the looks of it, this is going to be a show-stopper shortcoming of QT Kit Lite, as far as my project is concerned.
I'm probably going to have to fold my project and wait (hope) for an eventual upgrade to the SDK's QT Kit.
By the way, does anyone knows if there is a way to communicate with Apple and request new features for inclusion in future revisions of the SDK?
Upgrading the QuickTime Kit librairies to include the video Loop and Loop Back and Forth Attributes would be my first (and only) request.
many thanks to all!

Embedding quicktime movie???

hi, i'm struggling to load a .swf with an embedded quicktime
mov into my flash page using the preloader + loader components in
flash mx 2004!
i've followed the help: "To create an application with the
ProgressBar component in event mode:..."
the loader works but the sound in the embedded mov starts
playing before the visuals - pls help!!!
this is the code on the 1st frame of the original SWF to load
the SWF with the embedded .mov:
stop();
loader.autoLoad = false;
loader.contentPath = "graphics/sponsjan_clip.swf";
pBar.source = loader;
// loading does not start until load() is invoked
loader.load();
and here's the final page:

Thanks Daniel. Your suggestion was correct.
In order to access the quicktime movie file I had to use the following path:
/<portal-name>/portlets/<portlet-name>/<movie-name>.mov

Khosro,
Khosro,
My guess would be that the path to "sample.mov" is different depending on
whether you access
the page directly or the portlet is included within the overall Portal
page.
As an experiment, try changing the URL to an absolute path, or copying the
file into the same location as your other portal resources.
Sincerely,
Daniel Selman

Kiosk AND Poster in embedded Quicktime movies??

In my embedded QT movies, I can get the Kiosk mode to work, and I can get the Poster Movie mode to work. But I can't get them to work at the same time with the same movie. I just changed from non-Poster mode to Poster mode, and the Kiosk setting no longer works. Has anyone had this happen to them?

Export embedded quicktime movies to html slideshow?

I'm trying to make an html slideshow of a keynote presentation that has embedded quicktime movies. The movies just get saved as single png images. Is there a workaround or something obvious I am overlooking?
Since iPhoto lets you do this, I would assume it isn't impossible, but perhaps it just isn't implemented within keynote (which seems kind of backward).

Thanks. I was afraid that was the case, but a former apple VP suggested I ask since there are many apparently undocumented features (and iPhoto/iWeb can do this, so the api exists).
The relevent html code is actually a java script that loads an array of exported png files. Each element of the array is defined like this:
images[2] = "mrnahh.html_files/mrnahh.003.png";
so I tried just telling it to load a mov file instead, but it wasn't so easily fooled. It might be easier for me to make a slideshow of the png files and mov files within iWeb (which really makes messy html and javascripts that are next to impossible to hack.)
Anyway, many thanks. I'll leave this open for now in case someone else knows a simple secret.
The HTML export feature is great, and produces nice clean simple interfaces and web code. I hate to abandon it.

Keynote does not support exporting with embedded Quicktime Movies

I hope this helps a few of you out before you run into this problem.
Keynote does not support export to Quicktime with any slides that contain a quicktime movie.
Created a 27 page slide show with transitions, music, narrations and 6 Quicktime movies (Actually LiveType Text scrolls)
When I attempted to export it never finishes the export cutting it short after about 20 pages.
And the pages with the movies, don't start playing.
It exports fine as a quicktime movie without the movies inserted though.
Spoke with Apple Support and they confirmed that quicktime placed files within Keynote playback is only supported from the native Keynote Application.
I read somewhere on this board that it was an issue with Quicktime version 7.5, not so as I tried the same test on a mac with Quicktime 7.42 and it had the same issue.
So, beware.
LJS

Maybe I didn't understand well what you said but it is possible to export a Keynote file with embedded Quicktime movies to a quicktime movie. Actually, I'm doing it and I works. BUT, the issue I get is that I can't get my embedded videos to loop. Grrr...

I Movie crashing during export

I've been trying to make a movie and every time I try to export it my I Movie crashes! First I thought it was because my hard disk was too full, but I have over 30 GB on it and the problem still continues. I can make short clips just fine, but 30 min and up is a problem. Please help!

A couple suggestions...
Can you tell what format and codec you've chosen? (e.g. QuickTime movie with H.264)
does changing this to something else work?
Does the problem occur only on one project or multiple different ones? What about a new project with just a simple video clip (no titles, transitions, audio...)?
Have you made large movies before or never been able to?

Embedding a movie (slideshow) colors are more saturated

Hello Fredelbert,
not yet seems to be a problem of acrobat. If you have a solution let me know.

Movie crashed how do i get it back?

Wathching a rental movie crashes half way though - then can't find downloads in settings menu....

If you are using version 9.09 check in your iMovie projects folder in your Movies folder and see if the project is there. If your version is 10.0.2 then select your iMovie Library and right/control click on it and select show package contents. Check to see if the project is there. If no success then use time machine to restore.
