Exporting .mov that can't play on windows pc with QT
I have a 12 minute video and I've created a DVD. I've gone back into the timeline and broken the video up into 5 smaller videos (2-3 minutes). I export each one as a QuickTime video (no compression). They come out around 500 Mb which is fine. I transfer one of those video files to a PC and would expect it to play under Windows XP using QT player (latest version). What I get is, stuttering audio and a black picture (screen).
QT Player on the Mac plays the video file (.mov) just fine.
If I convert the .mov to a m4v, again it plays fine on the Mac, on the PC with QT it plays fine, but it is no longer widescreen format, but squished.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
>I transfer one of those video files to a PC and would expect it to play under Windows XP using QT player
I wouldn't expect it at all. A QuickTime .MOV file could be made from any number of codecs. And as Russ H has already indicated, if the codec needed to play the file isn't installed on the computer, it won't play at all ... or won't play properly.

Compressor creating movs that won't play in Windows
I am trying to make transcode video to play back on an installed HD television set. It is being fed by a Windows XP computer over HDMI using Windows Media Player. I have tried 25 different codecs including avi, wmv and mov. The avi and wmv will play on the pc, but the quality is bad and file size is too big. The movs that I create work fine on my mac but won't play on the pc. The movies load with an error message indicating an unknown file type. The audio track plays but no video.
Is there a "Make PC compatible" button that I am missing?From what I've experienced, HD Quicktime Codecs are not cross-platform. You could try using AJA's or Blackmagic's free downloadable codecs, which are cross-platform, but I don't know how those codecs perform with Windows Media Player.
Your best bet would be to purchase the Flip4Mac HD WMV codecs:

Is there a way to create a cd or dvd of photos that can be "played" on a regular dvd player?
I have a lot of pictures that I'd like to burn to a cd or dvd that can be "played" or "viewed" on a tv via dvd/blueray unit. Can this be done? If so, how?
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large [iPhoto 8 (09)] and earlier or 480p [iPhoto 9 (11)] or later.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

OnClick event in swf file stops a WMP movie that is being play
Hi
When placed in the same page - onclick event in a swf file
stops a WMP movie that is being play.
I've tryied to add another div with ontop positioning. but it
didn't work.
I've added a dlear image and it worked but the SWF mouseover
and mouseclick events disappeared.
Can someone help me?
PS - it happens only on IE.
Thanks.Hi Alden,
I fear your problem might be the file size (system resources,
actually) of your project. And if that is the case, it will
adversely affect your end users as well, so best find our
definitively right away. But let's assume for a minute that the
file size is
not causing the problem ...
Are there any interactive object(s) on the 33rd slide (or
thereabouts) that might be causing the project to stop - like a
button, click-box, or text-entry box???
A 48 slide movie is not (in and of itself) overly large, so
hopefully you can find some overlooked object that is causing the
problem...

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .
first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example, occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file, -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras. -

I purchased a movie that don't play & a cd but only 2 songs play
Depending upon what country that you are in (music and films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the incomplete music tracks and the film from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music and/or films or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and/or film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, 24 to 48 hours).
Some people have had a problem with the 'report a problem' link (it's been taking people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) - if it does that to you then try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page. -

What is the easiest way to make a slide presentation DVD with music that can be played on a PC or DVD player? I'm using a MacBook Pro since that's the computer that has all the photos (in an album) and music. Thanks.
I would suggest that you post this to the Adobe Encore>Menus & Buttons forum. What you want to do, if I read correctly, is pretty simple. There will probalby be links available to step you though it. I'll look for this there, and start gathering some links.
Good luck,

How can I play an audio CD with QT 7.1.6?
I want to play an audio CD with QuickTime 7.1.6.
When I click on Open file and select the CD drive, change th file type to Audio Files and mark "Open as read-only" nothing is displayed. When I change to "All Files (.)" the tracks are showed with an ".cda" extension. When I dobleclick on a track, I get the Error -2048: the file is not a movie file.
How can I play an audio CD with QuickTime 7.1.6?I confirm your issue as I just tried an audio CD in my XP laptop. "All Files" showed only the 44 byte .cda files and no others. QuickTime couldn't open them (error -2048).
I also tried "Open File" with version 7 Pro and it couldn't open.
Odd that I get the option to open using iTunes and it opens and plays just fine. Since iTunes uses the QuickTime engine I would have thought QuickTime could read the files directly.
The same audio CD inserted in my Mac allowed me to double click any track and it opened directly in QuickTime Player. The files show as .aiff files measured in MB's.
Windows users could open an audio CD in iTunes and then convert to .aiff (no compression) and then open the .aiff in QuickTime.
I guess I should have tried myself before getting your hopes up. I apologize. -
Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed?
Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed? If so, do you still use the Option key upon restart?
I don't use Bootcamp. However, I do know that with a firmware password, pressing the option key at startup will cause the password entry screen to come up; after entering the password, you will get the boot device choice screen.
So, if Bootcamp partitions normally show up on that screen then it should work just fine, or so I'd imagine. -

I have received an Email with an attachment(IMG. 0157.Mov)that loads but then becomes a circle with a question mark. What to do?
Assuming it's from a trusted source it's probably a video format that your system doesn't support.
If it will load in QuickTime Player, do a Get Info (⌘ i) to see what the specific format is. The .mov is a generic suffix a dozens or more video formats, the Get Info will give you the details.
hope this helps
