Getting a movie to be playable before it fully loads

I'm building a site with quicktime movies. How can I get the movie to be playable while it's still loading? Right now you have to wait for the movie to fully load before you even see the controls.
thanks.
David

The "fast start" (progressive download) feature is both a property of the file and a special (autoplay="true") html tag of the Web page. It is an option found at export that many users overlook. It is also "turned off" by most of the default iMovie exports.
Using .Mac servers the Homepage feature defaults to autoplay="true" while iWeb software uses "false".
You would need to edit the html page code (after the file is published) when using iWeb to alter the tag code. New to iWeb 1.1 (and 1.1.1) is that they place the .mov file into a .js (javascript) file. It's hard to find for many users.
Maybe, if you explained where your page code is hosted, we could examine it and make some better explanations.

    How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
    Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

  • Bug: "Move to" in email application doesn't work if activated before message fully loads

    I've hit this many times when going through email. If you click on a message in the email application, then go to "Move to folder" in the top-left menu before the message finishes loading, the list of folders in the move dialog will be completely blank. The only way to get it to work is to wait until after the message loads or to navigate back and then do it again after letting the message load.
    I hit this a lot for my Gmail account as I use this feature a lot to archive and categorize mails that I don't need to read the contents of to Gmail labels.
    Known bug? Going to be fixed?
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    The reason why it does this is that the email is apart of the application. This is why you cannot move the email till it loads. If you feel this needs to be improved I would suggest that you leave us feedback at www.palm.com/feedback 

  • When I open a new window with firefox I very briefly get a blue screen every time before the page loads. I have already upadated my graphics driver but no difference.

    This started today after my mail account was compromised.

    Dos it help if you disable hardware acceleration?
    *Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

    The blue is coming from your use of bgcolor="#003366" in your first row cell which appears while waiting to load all those graphics. Once the graphics are cached, I don't see the blue anymore.
    Change this:
    <td colspan="7" bgcolor="#003366">
    to this:
    <td colspan="7">

  • Macbook pro turns on for a minute and turns off before it fully loads

    The MacBook Pro turns son for about 30 seconds before turning off again even though it is charged.

    Is the power adapter attached? 
    Have you tried a Safe boot?

  • My imac takes about eight minutes to be fully functional after a cold start or from the sleep mode. The hard drive sounds like it has to go through a number of gyrations before being fully loaded. When I first bought the imac start up was much faster

    My Imac takes about 8 minutes to be fully functional after a restart or awakened from the sleep mode. I can hear the hard drive making a number of gyrations before it's ready to let me do stuff. This is a 5 year old machine and was much faster in the beginning. Any suggestions?

    Impossible to say however it may need more RAM, or if you have been turning it off every day it isn't given the opportunity to run it's daily, weekly and monthly maintenance. This is all done in the background in the middle of the night. I would recommend following the steps in 25 Ways to Speed Up Your Mac until you find the cause of your slowdown.

    HI and welcome...
    Open a Finder window. *Select your MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left*. Now open the Library folder, then the ScriptingAdditions folder, the InputManagers folder, and the ApplicationSupport folder.
    Move these files to the Trash:
    ctscripting.osax/Contents/MacOS/ctscripting
    CTLoader/ctloader.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ctloader
    Conduit/Plugins/cttoolbar.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ct_plugins
    Relaunch Safari.

  • "movie must be rendered before it can be encoded"

    Hey all...
    I'm trying to export to mpeg2 or otherwise to Quicktime so I can burn a dvd.
    Now with the first I get the message that "this movie must be rendered before it can be encoded"
    in QT conversion with mpeg2 selected. There are no red lines indicating a rendering need.
    I didn't have this problem when I first exported but when I added a mp3 file it started
    acting this way.
    Can somebody please let me know what the heck i'm now doing wrong?
    Thanks!
    Ann

    Red is only one type of render set. There are many others. Make sure full is checked on in Render All and then press Opt-R.
    It would be good to know what versions of the software, QuickTime and OS you're using. MPEG-2 export is no longer available in FCP.
    Compressed audio like MP3 should not be used in Final Cut.

  • How do I get a movie purchased on my 3rd gen Apple TV to play on my 1st gen Apple TV?

    I purchased and watched a move on my 3rd gen Apple TV a few weeks ago.  Now I want to watch it in another room where I have an older HD based Apple TV (1st gen I think).  When I look in iTunes on my computer, I can see that it's listed as being available in my account in the cloud.  I can't see it from my older Apple TV.  I don't want to have to keep this on my computer given it's size (5GB), so the solution of downloading to my PC and syncing isn't too attractive.

    AppleTV 1 is not aware of movies in the cloud so your only option to get the movie onto there is to download the HD version to iTunes and sync or buy it again direct on AppleTV.
    You may be able to do a manual sync, then delete from iTunes but next time you sync if the item is not in itunes it will likely go from ATV1.
    Remember ATV1 will not play the 1080p HD version as it maxes out for video decoding with teh 720p ones even thouigh it can be set up for 1080p upscaled output.
    Have you considered keeping larger items on an external drive ?  You can mix and match locations for media in various ways eg with smaller music files on the main hard drive (eg laptop) and larger video files on an external only available for playback or syncing when plugged in.

  • I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    I downloaded and bought a movie from iTunes on my iPad and now want the same movie on my MacBook Pro but its not offering me to download it, it giving me the options of buying it which I already did. How I get the movie onto my MacBook?

    You can connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, that should copy it over to the Movies part of your library.
    Depending upon what country that you are in, and whether the film studio allows it, you might also be able to re-download it on your Mac via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page.

  • Why do I get the movies only in english?

    As a new Apple TV user this might be a stupid question for pros on Apple TV. Nevertheless, why do I get the movies which I wanted to receive in the German version only in the English version. I make my choice in the German iTunes-Store, I watch the trailers in German, but when I order the movie, I get it only in English. Am I stupid or what?
    Thanks for your help.
    Hartwin

    Hartwin, that's odd. Does this happen with every movie you've rented?
    And do you perhaps have a US iTunes account that you're using to order from?
    Other than that, I really can't think of an answer.
