FCP Quicktime movie files not working with iDVD

I have been using iDVD for years with no issues. Now, whenever I export a QT file from FCP 7 and use it in iDVD, I get a blank screen with audio and no video.
I am able to work around the problem by using "Export Using Qucktime Conversion" and creating a smaller file, but I've never had to do that before. What in the world am I missing here? Shouldn't I be able to export as a QT movie, as long as the file is not gigantic? (the most recent one I used and had this problem occur was only about 500mb). Thanks for any help...

Hmmm,
Well this is helpful information but unfortunately didn't solve my problem. The movie in question is only 5 1/2 minutes long. When I export it as a QT movie, iDVD "acts" like everything is fine; I can preview it within iDVD, etc.But when I burn the disc, it comes out blank. I then went back to FCP and exported it using QT conversion, and the DVD burned just fine. (I exclusively use Taiyo Yuden media and have never had a bad disc).
This is just a simple 16:9 movie, shot at 720/30p on a Canon DSLR. I ingested with Log and Transfer using ProRes422, then dropped it onto the timeline, added a music track, rendered, and exported as Quicktime movie. It looks great on my desktop using the QT player, but it simply will not work in iDVD. Still stuck here...

Quicktime Movie File not syncing

Hi have just recently purchased an Apple TV and love the functionality of it, but I cannot seem to sync the movie files from iphoto which were taken from a digital camera. The files are described in itunes as 'Quicktime Movie File' but it seems to only sync MPEG4.
What happened to the slogan - 'if its in itunes, its in Apple TV'?
I have not experienced this yet!
Help!
Thanks,
Jarrod

Yea, that slogan is a little overboard.
You will definitely need to convert anything you want to watch to MPEG4 if it isn't already, and (further) it needs to meet the specifications of what ATV will play (that is to say, ATV won't play any MPEG4 but one that falls within the parameters it can handle. Luckily they are broad and reasonable parameters).
Your best bet is to right click on the movie in iTunes and choose "Convert to Apple TV". That ought to do it.

Quicktime has suddenly not worked with any movies I have.

Yes, I've downloaded many .avi movies and they would all work with quicktime. For example, once completely downloaded, the movie would have a small icon of the actual movie, probably the first frame. Anyway, I have no idea when I stopped working, but I dl'd Adventureland today and whenever I double click to open it with QT, I get "The movie 'Adventureland.2009.DvDRip.AC3-FxM.avi' can't be opened." It then says I may need to install additional files to open it. I have VLC to watch it, so that's not a problem, however I'm concerned about what's going on. I have QT X and though I've tried to download 7.6.6, it won't let me because of QT X. So idk what's going on. Any ideas?? I also have the most current DivX codecs installed so I know that's not it. I'm going to try it with older files I've downloaded.

Any file that has DvDRip in its name is bound to be trouble.

Does anyone have a solution to HDV 720p25 files not working with Lion?

I cant play or edit 720p25 HDV files with Lion, does anyone know how to fix this bug?

i've been having the exact same problems myself since Lion was released. I've been having to work with .m2t files and then converting them with MPEG StreamClip to Apple ProRes 422 native quicktime files in order to even use the stupid HDD. All of my existing .MOV files that were on the HDD prior to upgrade are now all "corrupt". Spoke with Apple reps and Focus reps and both of course are pointing fingers at each other.
Also, found that .m2t files aren't as high quality as shooting with .mov files on the DR-HD100... interesting huh? I mean i'm not in too much of a pickle due to the fact that the HDD is still useable it's just more time and steps before getting to edit in FCP now which is annoying considering the fact that I shelled out a lot of money for this HDD to be able to edit immediately...
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
I know it's Apple's fault because when i shoot in .mov files on the DR-HD100 and bring them in on my mac mini which is still OS X Snow Leopard, they work just fine... so it's definitely a Lion issue...
Also, found out that once the files have been dragged onto a HDD operating within OS X Lion, they become corrupt FOREVER and you can't reverse the process! They remain fine on the DR-HD100 but if you drag them onto a OS X Lion machine, then decide to transfer them to a OS X Snow Leopard device via USB, Network, or whatever, it won't matter because they have already been corrupted by Lion!

Quicktime movie does not work on hosted iWeb website

Problem: I have a media file portion on my iWeb designed website that displays pictures (working very well) and one that is supposed to show a movie (not working at all). The movie was made with iMovie and has an .m4v extension. When you click on the link for the movie it shows a blank screen on Firefox and a Quicktime logo with a big question mark on Safari. I'm attempting to view the website on my Mac with the latest Quicktime software on it but it doesn't work. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Some additional info: the hosting provider is 1and1.com and I have a Windows server package (unfortunately). Also, if I publish the site to a folder the movie area works flawlessly, it just does not work on the hosted site.
Thanks!!

Thank you. I converted the file to .MOV and it now works on Safari but has not worked on Firefox (have not tried yet on a Windows based machine). At least headed in the right direction. I will also contact 1and1. Thanks again.

.mov Files not working in Mac but working on Windows

I use a Kodak 10MP digital camera to click. I use it to shoot some videos too.
I had some videos taken earlier on the camera and used to view them on windows. Just bought a Macbook a few days ago, and all those videos worked fine (transfered using an external drive). But there is something I m so confused with now.
All the videos I shoot now, iPhoto does not import (hangs). I copied the video to windows where I could see all easily, and copied it to a pen drive. But sadly even trying to open them on pen drive doesn't work. It says its not a .mov file (dimension: -- --) whereas earlier videos be it 640x480 or HD worked fine. Do note videos are working on Windows. I have Quicktime 10.0 and player 7 installed.
Please help.

Won't you mid it AMAZING
Windows Quicktime and VLC are playing the files easily. Mac OS X is not. aren't mov files exclusive to Apple?
There are no picture settings on the camera (heck the camera is so bad you can't do anything even on trying). How is this possible that old videos worked and new aren't. I can't even sleep until I understand.
Already feeling going the Mac way wasn't the right choice. Should have stuck with Windows.

Airplay from quicktime movie does not work

I just updated my iPad2 to iOS5 and my ATV2 to the latest version (4.4, I believe). Both are working fine and runnin the new versions.
Then I started Safari on the iPad2, loaded the page with the iPhone 4S presentation and played it. Plays fine on the iPad. Then I select the airplay button and it lets me choose between iPad and Apple TV. Good too. But the Apple Tv fails with a complaint about not being able to play the type of content.
Should this not just work?
Thanks.

Thank you. I converted the file to .MOV and it now works on Safari but has not worked on Firefox (have not tried yet on a Windows based machine). At least headed in the right direction. I will also contact 1and1. Thanks again.

New movies files not working properly

Hello,
I have a new all in one HP pc with Windows 8. I have completed all pc updates and including latest Java. I have downloaded Itunes 12 and imported my old Itunes library from my network drive. My itunes library was created on an XP system and I still have it mapped to my Network Drive as it is 2TB in size.
The library contents are all fine and everything works. My problem is now any new movies m4v, mp4 which I import does not work. Itunes will upload the files, which then appear in the Home Video section. When I try to add artwork, or move file into 'movies' or even play the film Itunes goes into 'Not Responding' and I have to shut it down from from task menu. This issues only occurs with new movies. New music is fine.
I have tried to use alternative compatibility option none of these work.
Does anybody know how I can get my new movie content to work? btw the files are good as I have tried them on another system and they work just fine.
Thanks

anybody have any ideas?

Quicktime Movie Files Not Opening when sent from iLife

REcently, my mom and dad have sent me QT files recently via email and I've been unable to open them. Here is the strange part...they just emailed them to me using the "share" feature within imovie and/or iphoto. The files compressed fine and emailed w/o problem. I was unable to open them which I think is very odd.
Is there a problem with QT anyone know of out there? I'm using QT 7.1.5. My parents are both using the most recent ilife suite and QT.

I have emailed an avi file to friend with aol mail address. When trying to open file quicktime error message says it is not a movie. When I used quicktime pro to mail the file it changed file to a .mim . Cannot find a program on their windows machine that will play the .mim file. How can you e-mail avi files in a way that windows users can view them ?

Quicktime Movie Controller not working on Macs

Hello,
I just created the following page:
www.garrettleejohnson.com
Click either video section.
Everything is good EXCEPT the Quicktime movie controller (pause, play, slider) is non responsive -- only on Macs/OSX. I can click and double click and start/stop but thats it. It works fine with Windows clients.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Greg

You've got some page element covering the lower portion of the QuickTime file which prevents the controls from working. Check your page layout (maybe footer) and adjust them.
http://www.garrettleejohnson.com/GarrettJohnson/Media/Junior%20Play%20collection %20run.m4v
Your "video" is nearly 45 MB's in file size and its dimensions are 720X540 yet you've used a smaller dimension in your page. This could also be part of the error.

Quicktime movies do not work, please help me

Hello friends. I have a problem that is absolutely driving me crazy. I belong to a popular pay site that has quicktime videos. I used to use the site and watched the videos, even though I have to use stupid dial-up because I live in the sticks, the videos worked, though they loaded slowly. After an absence for a half year or so, and after upgrading to Quicktime 7 (7.0.3), I rejoined the site and found the videos no longer worked for me (except for, mysteriously, maybe once or twice, I don't know why). I asked on their forums if anyone else had the problem, and I couldn't find anyone that did. I asked their help line and couldn't get any good information either. Finally, a nice person from their site phoned me and tried to help me personally with the problem, and he couldn't figure it out either. This man is a serious Mac user and programmer and he was stymmied. We tried all the QT settings and messed with the keychain settings, but nothing worked. Well, I did get a video to play once by changing the key chain settings, but then it went back to not working again after that.
Specifically, here's what happens: when I click on a link to open a video, the QT player comes up, but it's in the small screen with only the time window and the buttons, not the video. Then.... nothing, that's it.
The man I spoke with confirmed my suspicions that maybe there was something wrong with my system (I did reinstall QT several times, which didn't help.) I went out and bought OSX.4 and installed it, which was not easy because there was a problem and I had to do a clean install, erasing everything on my hard drive and starting over. I was sure that would solve the problem, but NOOOOO, it still does exactly the same thing.
This is not some shady website I'm dealing with, it's a popular, rather expensive (for me, anyway) pay site with many happy members. And one extremely frustrated one.
Thanks for any suggestions you can come up with. Maybe a setting I've overlooked? Anything at all?

Ok, maybe I can jog someone's memory just a bit, maybe I can get some help on this. I tried using my laptop with the website videos, with the same result, just either blank video screen or the small screen with nothing but controls and time bar. Then I took the laptop to a friend's house and tried it on her wireless system and it worked fine. I came home, tried it here again and it didn't work. I know it would take longer, but it should work here on my dial-up connection. It used to work, before I upgraded to Quicktime 7, and the people at the website say that it should work too. They don't know of anyone else with this problem. I've tried changing my quicktime preferences but that has no effect.
Any more ideas? Thanks again.

Reading the EDI X12 file not working with the patch 8233048

Hi
I have installed the latest path 8233048 on my windowsXP system, now I am not able to see the File being polled and processed.
In b2b.log I can see the last message as "oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.data.MsgListener:run start listening on message" after that no log.
In b2b_dc_transport.log, I can see only

Could you please tell me if I need to do any changes.
This is working on b2b with only patch: 5907304 which is installed in another windows XP system.
The same configuration with the latest patch is not working.

Hi Dheeraj,
I have restarted my system many times, not only B2B.
I have taken the print out of both the tip.properties and compared line by line and wanted to check out which line was making it not to function.
I added the mismatching lines one by one by one, it was working for all teh updates. Finally I changed it to my new tip.properties.
Then surprisingly it is working.

Quicktime Movies Suddenly Not Working in Safari

All Quicktime movies on my website suddenly show the "?" when I try to play them.
A sample page is:
http://www.ibcdigital.com/commercials.php
I am running Safari 5.0.4 on OSX 10.6.6 on a new laptop. I have the Quicktime 7.6.6 plugin installed.
Everything works fine in FF4 or on an older Mac with Safari 4.1.3 OSX & 10.4.1. I haven't changed anything on the site, it's worked perfectly for years.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help!

.psd file not working with Motion 5

I have a .psd that doesn't want to work with Motion 5. Every time I try and import it, Motion says that it's not a valid codec. I can't figurt out what's going on, all my other .psd files seem to work.
Yes, I'm using RGB colors not CMYK (that is the onne known issue thus far).
I'm just totally at a lose. Here's what the console says, if anyone has any insight, I woudl appreciate it:
6/27/11 1:12:55 PM [0x0-0xb50b5].com.apple.motionapp[1326] CPSDSlicesResourceItem::Load(): unsupported slice resource item version (8)

I'd be happy to email one of them to you if you'd like. Or give it to you in some fashion at any rate. I'm not seeing this problem pop up anywhere else on the internet, so I'm guessing it's just me. But it would be nice to check with another motion user.
Email me at jay <no space, just keeping the bots guessing> carr <at> gmail <I'm sure you can guess> com.
It certainly would be nice to see what happens when I give it to you. I'm having some very significant issues with PDFs and can't figure out why...

Empty Temporary Internet Files not working with IE9

Hey everyone. I have an issue in my domain environment where the "Empty Temporary Internet files folder when browser is closed" is enabled but not actually working for pc's that have IE9.
I have configured this policy in both Computer Config and User Config on separate occasions to see if it would work but it just doesn't for users IE9. My domain is still a Server 2003 domain and I manage group policy through the RSAT Tool Group Policy
Management on my machine. All machines in my environment are Windows 7 x64 with IE9 except for a few with IE11. The funny thing is the computers with IE11 (like myself) the GPO works great. The temporary files get
flushed whenever I close my browser. Unfortunately everyone with IE9 the settings say they are applied but they do not work. I was wondering if it had something to do with the inetres.admx files on my pc since I use IE11. Anyone have any
ideas why the policy would only work for IE11 browsers instead of all browsers?
The temporary IE folders are in the default locations and I noticed that the IE9 users can't navigate to the content.ie5 directory as well. When entering content.ie5 in path they can get to it and when clicking on the random directory's it prompts you
with a windows security warning.
Any help or guidance would be great. Thanks!

Hi,
Based on the decription, we can try to enable the following policy setting to see if it helps:
Computer configuration or User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Delete Browsing History\Allow deleting browsing history on exit
