Embedding quicktime files to be viewed in mobile safari on iphone

I'm trying to place some quicktime files i've made on my site so that they're viewable on my iphone's mobile safari browser. I can't seem to get it to work, anyone else have any luck?
Currently i've exported it as .mov, and .m4v several different ways including using QTPro, FCP, and compressor and always selecting the iPhone option.
Is there a certain type of html the iphone needs to have the video embedded with in order to read it on the iphone?
My current result is either the phone says "can't download file" or "quicktime can't play file"

i'm not sure the iphone supports .mov files. try exporting as a .mp4 (MPEG-4).

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.

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:

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.

Problem embedding quicktime files

Hi,
I run a website with embedded quicktime files at www.tubespot.com. I have a problem viewing the quicktime files using Safari. The page seems to work fine on any other web browser.
I copied the code for the <object> tag and the <embed> tag straight from trailers.apple.com. And in Safari, if I refresh several times, eventually it will show the video. This is true on any of several macs running Panther and Tiger.
Also, when I put forth just the <object> tag it works every time. But in the context of my site, it often doesn't show up. I've tried playing with the tag specs to make sure there's way more than enough room, etc., but I cannot seem to make it consistently show up.
Can anyone look at the code and offer any insight to the problem? Is anyone able to reliably see the videos using Safari?
Thanks,
Chris

"This file cannot be viewed on mobile devices."

Hi Acrobat.com,
"This file cannot be viewed on mobile devices."
I'm wondering why some of my files online aren't "viewable" with an iPhone (3Gs) and other files are readable.
I noticed that files created (New) on Acrobat.com will not be displayed on the iPhone
while files created on the workstation (Apple) work fine (on both platforms).
Please, please, please, help me.
PS: I searched the forum for an answer or similar post,
without success. May be I din't use the right keywords ; - )

Hi there,
Thanks for posting; I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the Acrobat.com mobile app. The error message that you're seeing (thanks for the screenshot here, very helpful) indicates that the file you're trying to open is not a PDF; the message will appear when you try to open a Buzzword document, for example, or some other filetype that can't be previewed on the iPhone app. We're doing our best to improve the quality of our mobile app, so keep the feedback coming - you can help us by suggesting your ideas for improvements or enhancements at our Ideas site:

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.

Possible workarounds that don't load the movie until the play button is selected:
Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player

Download PDF files instead of viewing them within Safari?

I would like to automatically download PDF files instead of having to view them within Safari.
I have disabled Acrobat as the default reader and now Safari has switched to using Preview. However, I cannot find a way to also disable Preview to allow the PDF file to be downloaded instead of displayed within a Safari window.
Anyone have any ideas on how to do this seemingly simple task?

It's amazing to me that simply asking Safari to default to auto download a PDF is so arcane. It's incredible that Apple doesn't have a Safari preference for this very simple action!
The Terminal and Onyx methods recommended above are just ways of accessing a setting for Safari that Apple hasn't added to Safari Preferences. As I understand it, settings like this are built into Safari - they just aren't readily user-accessible. This is why programs like Onyx and Safari Enhancer exist, to open up "hidden" features and settings.
I imagine Apple's developers debate these things, trying to decide what would be simpler to leave out to avoid complexity and what confusion (but allow third-party or Terminal methods to access) and which would be better added to the regular Preferences settings.
Since this is a feature you'd like to see in Safari Preferences, I'd recommend submitting this as feedback to Apple.
In the meantime, though, I'd consider it a good thing that there are built-in ways to get the setting that you prefer. Personally, I don't find the default settings such a hindrance. They're intended to help the "average" user (the new Mac user, the non-technical user, etc.) who wants a PDF file to just open, without having to understand how to work with it. For the more savvy user, there are multiple methods of downloading and/or opening PDFs. I'm rather like you - I prefer to download PDFs (in which case I use the Control-click method if I notice the link is to a PDF) or sometimes I allow the PDF to open in Safari, then Control-click on the open PDF and choose the option to open in Acrobat Reader. I find the latter method even smoother than downloading and then opening, in fact. If I decide it's a file I want to keep, I save it to my hard drive; otherwise I just close it.

Embedded quicktime files in website

Hi
whats the best method of embedding some .mov h264/mp3 demos in a website WITHOUT having the videos load on page load. essentially i want an embedded player like the JW FLV Media Player which you see on blogs all the time and doesnt load the video until the user clicks on the video image - problem is it dosent work with my .movs, are there any other flash-written embedded players that will?

The technique is known as a "poster movie" page.
A simple image file format saved as a .mov file. It loads the QuickTime browser plug-in (testing the machine for a QuickTime install) and just "waits" for a viewers "click".
The click triggers the HREF link and the "target" (browser window, new browser window or QuickTime Player) downloads and displays the file.
Advantages to this method are obvious. The image format "poster" is a very tiny file size. Nothing happens until a visitor click on those images so you could have dozens of them on a single page. Nothing downloads until a visitor clicks which saves you tons of bandwidth usage.
One of my pages as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
Another method is a QuickTime Media Link file. These are tiny .qtl files that are "text based" links you can add to your page(s). Because they are text based URL's you could disguise them in the body of an html file page text. They measure in KB's (bytes, really) and a click on them would download to the viewers computer. If they have their browser set to open "Safe" files the QuickTime Player app would launch and the file would play using the Presentation settings you set for the file.
Another of my files as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/TouchofGrey.qtl
If my example reverts to the "small" version please wait about 30 seconds and then hit Command-F to revert to full screen so more data can download.

Embedding QuickTime Files - Autoplay Off ?

I thought I would embed my clients QuickTime movies instead
of opening up into a new page, href. they are embedded fine HOWEVER
all are playing at once when page opens!!!. I do not see Properties
for Quicktime.
I used the xhtml code line : <parem name="autoplay"
value="false" />
which does not fix the problem. Here is the whole code for
one of the movies, if it helps (came from classroom teacher)


<object
classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B"
codebase="
http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab"
width="320" height="255">
<param name="src"
value="../../movietests/ffems_entry.mov" />
<parem name="autoplay" value="false" />



<object type="video/quicktime"
data="../../movietests/ffems_entry.mov" width="320"
height="255">
<parem name="autoplay" value="false" />
alt : <a href="../../movietests/ffems_entry.mov">Click
for Movie </a>
</object>


</object>

This method uses two tags: <object> and <embed>.
This is for maximum browser
compatibility.

QuicktimeX Not Streaming Apple Trailers or Embeded Quicktime Files

For examples, going to http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/invictus/ and clicking "Large" or any other format brings up a black box with a link saying "QuickTime required. Free download". Clicking an hd format (480, 720, etc" does absolutely nothing. Nothing loads, no progress bar, no downloads windows. This happens in both Safari and Firefox.

I too cannot get movie trailers to play on my macbook running leopard. If I go to the apple website to play trailers.. I get an error that says "quicktime required,. free dowload". I try to download it and its version 7 of quicktime so I get an error message saying it can't be installed because quicken x is already installed. All I am trying to do is play some movie trailers. I tried trashing quicken x and re-installing form the mac oxc snow leopard disc, but that didn't fix it. Same thing happens. 'm perplexed?

Desktop view in mobile safari

Is there any way to force Safari to view the desktop version of a website? Any help will be appreciated! Thank you.

And this is relevant to the discussion how?
All web browsers, mobile or desktop, leave a signature that is read by the website. Depending on the sophistication of the website programers, the site can deliver different versions of the content to meet the requirements of that particular browser.
Google gives you a choice when it detects a mobile browser; many website do not.

Viewing QT in Safari on IPHONE

I want to watch videos with Safari on my iphone but it always shows me the "Q" but then wont load. Also, what about activex or viewing flash animations? are there plug ins now for such features?

Hi,
I have successfully viewed quicktime movie trailers through safari on my iPhone.
Try viewing these and see if it works. If it doesn't try resetting your iPhone or restoring your iPhone and if that fails contact Apple iPhone support.
Movie trailers can be found at the following address:

Hope this helps

Mobile Safari on iPhone 3GS automatically resizes images to 1280x800

Hi,
I'm a new iPhone user and thus have had no prior experience. However, I've noticed that when you try to open a large image in Safari running on my iPhone 3GS, it appears to automatically shrink the image to 1280x800.
An example:
http://www.macwallpapers.net/images/wallpapers/Homer%20Simpson%20Apple-600960.jp eg
This image is 2560x1600, yet when I open it on Safari on my iPhone, it registers as a 1280x800 image. Note that it is not just this particular server, but every server I've tried.
Is this normal? Has anyone else noticed this? A few Google and forum searches seem to have not turned up anything.
Thanks.

I am slightly skeptical, since it all happened at once, and all the other browser apps seem to work. Plus, at exactly the same time, I started having app downloading issues.
My son, who has exact same phone, bought at exactly the same time, but without ios5 / cloud download has no issues at all.
This phone version is still being sold, so Apple or whatever caused the issue, should support it still.
Any answers on the horizon to fix this?

Convert QuickTime Video Files for Offline Viewing

How can I convert QuickTime files for offline viewing?

Even with QuickTime Pro, it is possible to protect a QuickTime video file from being downloaded directly. But, if it's not specifically protected, QuickTime Pro will allow you to download many QuickTime videos.
If you come across a video that is protected, you may be able to use a utility like to record the video as it's playing on your screen and then save it as a stand-alone file.
