Embedded Quicktime Audio Issues

Hello all,
Having trouble with quicktimes, have video working, streams nicely etc however I can't seem to get the audio to come through. Where am I going wrong?
Cheers,
kevin

I seem to remember something about "Play Every Frame" needs to be un-checked in the Inspector Palette under the QuickTime tab or it can cause issue with audio...

Embedding quicktime audio in webpage

hello
i have audio podcasts that i want to embed into my site...
i got it to work but it keeps autoplay, autostart-ing even when i say false to them! with a page of 10 podcasts, i don't want that to happen
can someone help me? thanks

Let us assume that you have a table with name and URL fields
in order to store your media file information.
You can get your query via CF from database and make an
output and generate your dynamic HTML page.
Such as
<cfoutput query="myMediaQuery">
<img src="#url#" alt="#name#" />
<br />
#name#
<br />
<br />
</cfoutput>
This is a simple example for image output. You just need to
use this kind of output for your media file.
I hope it is clear.

Embedded Quicktime not playing correctly in InDesign PDF - please help!!

ok - I have an issue that I can't work out and I'm hoping someone can help - tried searching for an answer to no avail. I've just built my first interactive PDF portfolio in InDesign. I should point out that I'm a producer/editor, so my knowledge of InDesign & Acrobat is not extensive. The PDF includes some embedded Quicktime movies. The movies play normally on one of my monitors (Samsung 1680x1050), but will not play correctly on my other two monitors (2x Samsung 1280x1024) - the audio plays and the play controller appears to be working but the video area is just all white...HOWEVER...if I open the PDF and play just one of the videos on my 1680x1050 monitor first, then all videos play correctly on all monitors. Have tried opening the PDF on another desktop and the movies do not work (in the same manner as above)- also tried on my laptop and the movies play correctly. Please help if you can - I need to get this out to clients and I'm baffled!! Thank You!

Is it as easy as wmode: transparent after shoving the swf into a table??? does the transparent option make everything outside the table dissappear? thanks...

Embedded QuickTime files not playing sound

I'm having trouble getting older, embedded QuickTime files to play properly. Many of them do play but without sound.
An example:
The embedded QuickTime files in questions 6 and 10 here...
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07web.htm l
...do not play sound.
When viewing the files directly...
Example: http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07_Quiz_m edia/0706_split_brain_red.mov
...the sound plays properly.
I have done a bit of playing around on a few different machines and have found the following:
2009 MacBook Pro: video and sound play correctly in Safari and Firefox
OS X: 10.7.5
Safari: 6.1.6

Is this a Yosemite issue? Not being able to play older QuickTime 7 files properly? I'm not sure what else the issue could be since everything seems to work fine in 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 (unfortunately, I have been unable to test this in 10.10 or 10.10.1). Maybe I'm overcomplicating a simple issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some very interesting observations which peaked my own curiosity due to on-again, off-again nature of the playback. I suspect this is either a "bug" or represents content handling changes that are currently in the process of "evolving." Not a web site programmer so I used iWeb to run some contrast-comparison tests on how audio was handled by the plug-in software when directly accessing the content by its URL and via the page embed strategies. My results mirrored yours in that:
1) All legacy codecs tested (A-Law, IMA, QDM2, QPV, and u-Law) in an MOV file container played correctly in the QT 7 player.
2) The same files all played correctly when content was accessed by the plug-in software directly using the URL reference.
3) None of the files containing legacy audio compression formats would play audio using the plug-in software using a web page embedding strategy.
4) An MP4 (H.264/AAC) version of you original clip played correctly in all instances.
5) Replacing your QDM2 audio track with an AAC audio track in the original MOV file allowed the file to play correctly in all instances.
Based on these observations, I suspect the problem is in the way the software is currently programmed to handle (or rather ignore) the embedded strategy content. However, as you indicated, it is probably time to update your files. Not only did the H.264/AAC version of your original file play in all instances, but it used less than 45% of the file space/bandwidth for the settings I employed as compared to your original "0706_split_brain_red.mov" original file.

How do I get an embedded quicktime file to appear "activated" w/playback & volume upon opening PDF?

I am new to adobe acrobat, and I'm using version 8. I am trying to insert quicktime videos in a PDF File. I have figured out how to insert the video files and embed them in the PDF.
However, when I save the PDF, close it, and then re-open the it, the quicktime file does not appear. If I don't use a poster image, then it is just blank where the file is, but the file is there, and when I click on the empty space where I know that it has been embedded a dialog box opens about playing it just this once, or making it a trusted file, etc. Then it plays, and the volume and playblack controls, along with the background, are visible. (it is actually just an audio track in a quicktime file, so nothing is playing but the audio, and the background is solid black. I have set it up so that it stays there once activated.
What I want is for the volume and playblack controls and the black background to appear as soon as you open the PDF file, without having to click in the blank area where the file has been inserted. This is going to be part of a portfolio that I am submitting for a school program, so I need the person that is opening it to be able to clearly see where the file is, and see the playblack and volume controls so that he can playback the file.
So how do i get the embedded quicktime file to automatically show up in "activated" mode, with the playback and volume controls visible and ready to be used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

If the video is only linked it would reduce the file size of the pdf and it would make it accessible for people opening on a device (like iPad) which does not allow flash which must be installed with Acrobat to view embedded media.
But I would recommend to send the people only a link to the PDF. I hate it, when my iPhone filled with useless stuff, if I would like to see it I could donwload, but as attachment make my space overfilled.

Embeded Quicktime in Safari no longer working

For some strange reason, embeded quicktime is no longer loading in safari. I don't even get the question mark, i get nothing. The space where the Quicktime is supposed to be is not there at all. Anyone else have this issue and now how to fix it? Works fine in Firefox and Camino...
I have been trying to think what changes i've made, but can't think of anything.
I've tried the Quicktime 7.0.1 rollback. No good.
I've tried removing the Quicktime webplugin. No good.
I've reinstalled 7.0.4. No good.
I removed that Flip4Mac WMV quicktime. No good.
I've reinstalled the latest Flip4Mac. No good.
any suggestions?

Fixed. Removed all the relevant preferences and plists... working again. Wonder how it got buggered up...

Audio Issues - Sound stops on youtube vid after a few seconds. Please Help?

What's been happening is weird audio issues, especially youtube related though not only (other web video content has been messed up, but mostly youtube). Right now I am using headphones (1/8" or 3.5mm) through the back of the computer and when I turn on the computer, at first I can hear sound from videos. When I open the speaker icon mixer window in the bottom right, I see green bar moving with the sound on the "speakers" mixer and "Adobe Flash Player" mixer simultaneously.
Then after a few minutes or after having a few tabs open, all of a sudden the audio stops. Oddly enough, usually the video keeps going even thought the audio has stopped. I verified this wasn't a hardware issue with my headphones by opening the Speaker Icon Mixer window, and acutally was watching it at the moment the sound stopped and saw the green bar disappear exactly when the sound stopped.
If I restart the computer, or firefox only sometimes (mostly need to restart cpu though) then videos will play again with sound. Once the sound stops however, if I open a new youtube video in another window, it will sometimes cause an "An error occured. Please try again later" crash.
I'm at a loss of what to do.
Running latest version of Firefox (26.0) and Adobe Flash (11,9,900,170 installed). Windows 7 64 bit system, Intel Core I7 Processor.
I have tried many things include "reset firefox", clear cache, changing to an earlier version of Flash (11.3). Tried to update sound cards. Even tried to restore computer to an earlier setting ( I only went two days ago, could go farther back I suppose).When I reverted back, the problem went away for a few hours but then came right back.
I scanned pc with ESET online antivirus, no viruses, Malewarebytes Pro, no issues. Cleaned with CC cleaner. Plenty of hard drive space (using an SSD boot drive btw).
I am not very knowledable about plugins or "addons" or extenstions. Nor do I know if it has anything do "Firefox Options -> applications" (gives content type and then option...essentially a bunch of sound file types and then which plugin plays it). I can give my list of all this out if necessary but there are quite a few and I dont know how to copy/paste that info so it would take. Even though its gonna take forever to hand type these guys all out, I will give my list of "plugins" that may be audio related:
QuickTime Plugin 7.7.4 7.7.4.0
RealDownloader Plugin 1.3.3.66
RealNetworks (tm)
RealDownloader Chrome Background Extensions Plug-in (32-bit) 1.3.3.66
RealNetworks (tm)
RealDownloader HTML5VideoShim Plug-in (32-bit)
1.3.3.66 RealNetworks (tm)
RealDownloader PepperFlashVideoShim Plug-in (32-bit) 1.3.3.66
RealPlayer Download Plugin 16.0.3.51
RealPlayer(tm) G2 LiveConnect-Enabled Plug-In (32-Bit) 16.0.3.51
Shockwave Flash 11.9.900.170
Shockwave for Director 12.0.7.148 (for netscape plug-in)
Shockwave for Director 12.0.2.122 (for netscape plug-in)
Silverlight Plug-In 5.1.20913.0
VLC Web Plugin 2.1.0.0
When I open my device manager and look at "Sound video and game controllers" I see 4 options:
1)AMD High Definition Audio Device
2) Bluetooth Audio Device
3) High Definition Audio Device
4) Intel (R) Display Audio
I'm not sure what this means, if I have 4 sound cards or if they are conflicting somehow.
I tried to update drivers on each one. No change. I've tried "restarting firefox with addons disabled" and "check here to see if your addons are up to date" (they were except VLC which I did update before restoring to previous day and it didnt help).
None of the fixes work for me, same issues. Extremely frustrated!! Help?

I'm having a similar problem with flash audio. After a few minutes of watching a video or playing a game the audio cuts out but the video keeps working. The audio does not return until I refresh the page. The issue occurs regardless of which browser I'm using (have tired both Firefox and Chrome). Oddly enough, when the audio cuts out from whatever flash application is running, my entire system loses sound until I refresh the webpage or close the browser. For example, I was playing Minecraft with Chrome open in the background and suddenly the sound cut out from both. Once I closed the browser my audio came back. I realized that there was a graphic on the webpage that was flash based which likely triggered the issue.
I do not have any Real plugins.
Incidently I also have Intel (R) Display Audio listed in my device manager
Edit: I forgot to mention, this issue only seems to occure when I watch videos that have been uploaded recently. For some reason the audio does not cut out when I watch a video was uploaded a few months ago.

I received an email with an embedded QuickTime song. It plays but I would like to save it to my device so I may bypass retrieving it via email. How do I do this?

I have an iPhone4. I thought it came with the QuickTime application but cannot find it currently installed in my phone. I received an email with an embedded QuickTime song how can I bypass the email and save the music to my device? There is no difficulty accessing or playing the music.

Thanks Michael, this truth gradually became clear to me as I experimented.
Here's my workaround: Label the audio track something other than music and it will sync. It this case I called it a podcast and I could transfer the audio.
I will be provideing feedback to Apple but I am sure it's something they must be working on.
At the moment the only way to send an audio track labeled MUSIC to your iCloud enabled iPhone is to drag it into iTunes, upload it to the cloud, put it in a playlist, sync the iPhone then go to that synced playlist and re-download the track. Cumbersome doesn't quite capture it. Facepalm gets closer.
Looking forward to seeing iCloud mature.

Export recorded slideshow, with embedded quicktime, to quicktime...

...doesn't capture the video.
I'm trying to export a Keynote '09 presentation, with recorded audio. The presentation also contains embedded quicktime video (a screencast). However, the resulting exported quicktime does not run through the embedded video (the initial video still is shown throughout the whole narration of the screencast). I'm using the "recorded timing" playback.
While its exporting, the Keynote preview actually shows screencast playing fine.
The embedded video plays fine when I export without the recorded audio.
Any idea what might be happening here?

Well i just found this and tried it, it worked
1) Go to export to QT as usual.
2) Click the second drop down (Formats) and select 'Custom...'.
3) A new window will pop up, click the 'Settings...' button.
My 'Compression Type' drop down was set to 'H.264'....I was told to
4) Change the 'Compression Type' to 'MPEG-4 Video.
(I do not think it is related to the fix being suggested or just as a preference, I was told to slide the Compressor - Quality slider on the bottom left to 'Best')
5) Click the 'OK' button on the bottom left
That window will close.
6) Click the 'Next' button and continue with your export.
Not sure why this works but it did. But i still cant do it the normal way.

Get Embedded Quicktime Files to Load LAST?

This is a long standing issue for me and I haven't been able to find a solution.
Is there a way to force embedded Quicktime media to load last on my iWeb created pages? Often, when I have an .mp3 or worse, an .mov; a few of the page elements load on the browser screen, but then the movie file loads and, until it is fully loaded, the rest of the page elements do not.
Please help. This is really a big deal to me as I add more and more blog entries.

Audio issues after upgrading to OS X 10.10 (Yosemite)

Hello,
I have been facing audio issues after upgrading to OS X 10.10
- No sound in VLC
- Re-booting with Option-Command-P-R did not work
- System sounds are fine
- Quicktime Player works just fine
I tried:
- Plugging in earphones while video was playing on VLC
- F10/F11/F12 while video was playing on VLC
- Re-boot with Option-Command-P-R keys (found on a thread elsewhere)
- Played something in Garage Band (found on a thread elsewhere) and restarted VLC
None of the above solved the issue
Any one else facing similar issue with VLC on 10.10?
How did you manage to fix this?
I am running VLC 2.1.5 btw.
Thanks in advance!

Shockwave says at the present moment not to be compatible with OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Youtube, QuickTime, all play with no sound at all.

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...

Embedding Quicktime On Website

Hey,
I'm working on a website that involves embedding a few movies I've made as quicktime files.
Here's a link to the site so that you can see what I am talking about:
www.nathan.onemightymyth.com/movies
I've set it up so that when the person clicks on the link to the movie, a small pop-up window opens, and the movie loads in that window.
The problem is, for some reason quicktime doesn't seem to want to load right away. Usually, when I watch movies online in embedded quicktime files, the player shows up, even before the video is loaded completely, and you can watch the download progress on the little slider bar.
For some reason, on my website, quicktime will not open until the file is completely downloaded.
I'm not sure if this is an issue with the script, or with the format I use when I create the file?
Here's the script I used:
<embed src="http://www.nathan.onemightymyth.com/movies/station/Station.mov" width="300" height="216" bgcolor="#000000" autoplay="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" type="video/quicktime">
Dell XPS 400 Windows XP using Premiere Pro 1.5 for Exporting *.mov files

Thanks for your help. We're getting somewhere.
I've replaced my code with the correctly one, thank you very much for bringing that to my attention, QuickTimeKirk.
However, I can't seem to find the "Fast Start" feature when encoding my quicktime files.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro to encode quicktime, but am willing to download any programs that do have this feature.
I've posted a message on an adobe forum asking if anyone knows anything about this "fast start" thing. So maybe someone will answer that for me, but if anyone knows where I can find this feature, please let me know. Thanks again.

Audio issues mountain lion

I've hear of audio issues under 10.8 on iMac's with programs such as WOW, but my problem is with FCP X and .mov files in general. I can Quick Look them (spacebar) and they seem to play smoothly, but under Qucktime, Quicktime Pro and even VLC Player the audio does not play correctly. I have played the same file with each program and it skips, stutters, mutes and fails to play properly in different segments of the movie. Any similar experiences?

I've already tried the Midi Setup app by changing some of the defaults. However, like I've seen in other related posts, changing the bitrate and the type of encoding doesn't help much (but, see later).
I've spended yesterday's evening trying to understand what was happening. The DD receiver works fine, since I have no problem playing DVD media from a XBOX.
The surprise was when I've tried to eliminate the HDMI from the equation. I've disconnected the cable from the TV set controling it from remote screen sharing. It worked! I could play media encoded in DD with VLC and DVD media too with no hassle.
However, as I connected again the HDMI, the sound quality became erratic, and although sound can be heard, and DD passthrough was working, there was some "glitches" in the receiver, like micro-cuts of sound, some of them causing the receiver re-detect the type of coding it was receiving.
All this is very odd, as soon as I can I will try the cable in other receiver to discard it, but I fear it's ML fault combined with my setup... I will investigate if downgrading is an option.

Bootcamp 3.1 and imac windows 7 64bit update not installing. Audio issues!

After many days of work getting the windows 7 working in bootcamp in my imac 27 (still with audio issues) I eagerly awaited the bootcamp update and imac updates.
Neither will install.
Then I find that according to tech support as of now I have to reinstall Windows 7 again for the updates to work!
It took me 5 full 8 hours days to get all my scientific programs installed and working, now I find I can't even simply update the drivers I need. I don't want to reinstall.
My only issues are audio.
Here they are:
1) The headset jack works fine on the Mac side, but in Windows 7, it causes the i7 intel CPU to go crazy. There is no CPU spike on the mac side.
2) The headset jack in the imac is a trrs jack. The same as in the iphone, a tri-band jack that has three bands, two audio out channels and one mic in channel. A trrs headset works fine on the mac side with using the headset mic (as in iphone) rather than the built in mic. (this provides much better quality for sound recording). I don't want to use a usb mike.
In Windows 7 the mic part of the trrs headset does not work.
3) In Windows 7 when going into audio devices recording, no audio mixer shows up, so when I do video or audio screen capture the only way to capture the sound is through the speakers and then back through the imac built in mic, rather than directly through the unit. (terrible sound quality) On the mac side the mixer element works fine.
Now I find from other imac users that even the new updates for the imac on windows 7 don't address and fix the audio issues. I am sure not going to go through 5 more days work only to find the audio issues still don't work.
I need these audio aspects to work properly though!
I have tried to get drivers for the cirrus logic audio card, but guess what there are none available and cirrus logic doesn't even recognize the board or offer drivers.
I have many windows programs I must have for my scientific research!I bought the top of the line Imac with all the bells and whistles because Apple promised that the machine could run Windows 7 in bootcamp natively!
It doesn't. This has been a nightmare of problems.
Is Apple going to step up to the plate and make good on their promises?
Does any one have a fix for any of the audio issues, or know how to install the new drivers without a complete reinstall of Windows?
Installing a few sound drivers and software should not require a complete reinstall. Getting the proper drivers for the headset jack audio in and audio out jack should be the most basic of fixes. Making the audio mixer work should be elementary.
If you are an Apple tech person or an Apple user that can help on these issues, please do!
Thanks, Dr. Duke
An American profesor in Europe.
PS I will post this under Imac windows 7 updates without a reinstall and under
imac Sound issues.

On another thread a few people have responded saying that their imac has the same situation, the cpu is going crazy and the imac gets hot with headphones or speakers plugged in. But this doesn't happen in the mac side.
If you have an late 2009 imac and don't have these audio issues, let us hear from you. If you don't, lay out the problem here.
Here is my last two cents in to the inquiry.
Not only does the cpu run crazy but the imac 27 gets very, very hot. Since I unplugged the headphones, it runs much, much cooler.
Certainly, some Mac engineers should take care of this problem, it seems it is universal on all the imac 27's and from what I gather, the smaller screened cousins too.
Also, we certainly want a stereo mix option for audio in or out, or what is called "what you hear" or wave out. Imac is supposed to be much geared to multimedia apps.
Finally, the mic jack part of the trrs set up MUST be fixed! A lot of manufacturers are going to headset combo jacks as they call them, mic in and stereo out on the same tribanded plug. But, the old single jack for mic in and single jack for stereo out are two tiny parts of the hardware and super inexpensive for the manufacturer. Why in the **** to go to the "advanced" triplug if the **** thing doesn't work.
Mac has a great reputation. I hope they remedy these problems right away.
Anyone whose imac 27 or 24 whose headset plug is working correctly. Let us know! I don't think anyone's is, but I think that few people understand that their cpu is running so much faster with the plug in, plus few even understand the combo jack and the triband, or trrs audio jack! Out of 4 audio technicians I talked to, not one of them knew what a trrs jack was or that you even have a mic in jack as part of the headset jack!
When I told one senior that it worked on the Mac side, he didn't believe for a while, thought my sound might be recorded from the onboard mic, but I proved it to him by tapping iaudibly on my iphone mic headset and and it showing up in garage band clearly and listening to big difference in audio.
As for a usb audio adapter, I am in a neon light environment and find that those adapters are more sensitive to electrical interference. Besides I want to use the headset jack as it was meant to be used!
Thats it.
Again, if anyone using an imac 27 and windows 7 64 or 32 doesnt have these problems, let us know! We are all anxious for a fix!
Best to all!
