Getting beach balls on some videos using Quicktime X with Perian
Hi, Some of my videos play perfectly using Quicktime X with Perian and with others I get the spinning beach balls. These videos seem to play fine when using VLC. Is this normal? Thanks
Is this normal?
It could be. The "spinning ball" indicates the application is "busy" -- i.e., actively involved in some activity. QT is very touchy about things like timecode breaks and proper file terminations. In some cases, like "muxed" MPEG-2 content, the QT player actually has to trace the data stream from beginning to end before playback will begin. VLC, on the other hand, containes its own codecs and is geared to Windows specific contetnt types which may not rely on external time references like QT or whose data may be open-ended or contain numerous timecode breaks. Additional delays may be caused by continuous switching between 32- and 64-bit modes of operation and/or other complications/problems.

Please help. When exporting a 720p video using Quicktime Conversion in FCP it saves some extra temporary files to my computer. The temporary file it saves is called ICMMultiPassStorage. This file gets so large that eventually the program and exporting process crashes. I have been able to locate the file using GrandPerspective and close out of FCP to delete it. But when I try exporting the movie again it creates the ICMMultiPassStorage file again. I have made sure my scratch disks are set to my external hard drive so I know that isn't the issue. How do I fix this problem so these temporary files are not being stored on my internal hard drive instead of my external?Thanks!
Try exporting the timeline "using current settings" via Make QuickTime Movie, then submit that clip to Compressor for the transcode. This should be faster and less painful.

Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video? How can I fix this?
Baffled in SBWhat format of MPG is this? Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video? How was the video created?

I took some videos using my iPhone 5c and uploaded them to my computer. I can play the videos in iPhoto, but when I open them in QuickTime, they are dark and silent. Why can't I see them in QuickTime?
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Mac Slow: I am getting beach ball all the time
Hello Guys,
I hope you can help me with this issue. Since last week, the beach ball appears frequently, creating some lag (2-10 secs) in my actions i.e. when i want to type in Safari, when I want to write an email, when I open finder, etc. As you can imagine this situation is very annoying given the week before everything was fine.
I haven't installed any new software however updates run automatically.
I decided to do my first backup (yes, shame on me for not do it before), it took almost 3 days to finish!.
I already have run "Disk Utility" and it said "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK."
Please find attached my etrecheck report that could give you more information. Any suggestion is really appreciated.
Thanks for your help.
Julio

Record camcorder video using Quicktime.
Ok. so since I can't import it to imovie I tried to record a new video using quicktime. It would have worked except that quicktime would only recognize the sound input. Here is a video of the issue.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1Wxjx6OmQ
The camera I'm using is a Samsung SC-D453. Is there any way to make Quicktime recognize it?
My other question is. Since this camcorder has a composite-s video out, Can I get a s video to usb adapter that will let me record it to Quicktime? Once it is in .mov IMovie will import it quite nicely.
thanksCiao
you could launch the recording application, but it will not
within your FL app. Then you need to know the file name and
location since FL cannot browse the file system of the phone.
Also consider that this type of apps do not work for every
phone since some phones do not allow to execute other applications.
Here some tutorials that you can take a look at:

Final Cut Pro 4: Problems exporting video using QuickTime conversion
just recently updated my Mac to version 10.4.11 -
Ever since, Final Cut Pro won't let me Export my video using QuickTime Conversion.
Its starts exporting, then freezes at 79%. A general error message pops up.
I know its not a space issue, because I have 20GB left and the video i'm exporting is only 2 GB.
I installed all the software updates.
Can anyone help? Do I need a new version of Final Cut?1) this is the final cut express forum not the pro.
2) 10.4.6 is not the latest, try updating to 10.4.11
3) after any system update you must run disk utility to repair permissions or errors that may not have been addressed during the upgrade process.
4) have you tried exporting as a reference movie then playing it in qtpro, if ok then export.
5) what are you trying to export too? -
when recording a video using quicktime and my built in camera (isight) how come the program wont let me use my audio interface rather than the built in mike?
when recording a video using quicktime and my built in camera (isight) how come the program wont let me use my audio interface rather than the built in mike?
The basic answer is that Apple has not programmed the capture routine with this capability. As such, you can always send QT feedback requesting this feature be added as a future enhancement. -
Some videos that are taken with my iphone's camera are not making sounds, this problem occured today to all videos i recorded starting from today, please help
It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?
Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?
I don't believe you can. The usual model for iOS app distribution is for each device to have a unique Apple ID and for apps to be acquired separately, either via codes from the Volume Purchase Program or individual purchase through the iTunes Store. The licensing from the iTunes Store doesn't allow an app to be installed on more than one device unless all the devices are being used by a single person, so you legally cannot install one app on multiple corporate devices in the circumstances most businesses use.

Running 5.0.2, I have this scenario constantly since upgrading to Safari 5+ :
1. Safari has been running for several hours and I have 2-3 gigs free RAM according to Memory Stick.
2. I go to apple.com/trailers to view movie trailers
3. I choose a movie and click on the smallest size trailer available.
4. I get a spinning beach ball for 30-60 seconds before the trailer plays.
5. After the trailer, I can empty Safari's cache and clear the history, then quit and restart Safari.
6. Go back to apple.com/trailers, pick a movie, a size trailer to view, and it begins to play almost instantly.
7. This also occurs with video on other sites.
I have followed numerous suggestions from this forum on various Safari 5 issues (upgrade Flash, remove 3rd party plugins, repair permissions, etc.) all to no avail.
Does anyone know why I have to empty the cache in order to have videos/trailers load and play promptly?
Thanks for any suggestions.
WKKlaus - a follow up on the Safari video beach ball problem:
I implemented your suggestions about 24 hours ago. Just now, after a day of normal/heavy Safari use, I went back to apple.com/trailers and tried to view three new trailers. Same problem as before:
•First trailer: beach ball for 2+ minutes (not exaggerating) before trailer played. (Even then it was jerky.)
•Second trailer: beach ball for about 1 minute before trailer played.
•Third trailer: beach ball for about <10 seconds before trailer played.
Hey -- at least the wait times are getting shorter the more I try to watch!
So apparently the fixes to the QuickTime settings weren't a fix.
I then emptied the Safari cache (Safari menu) and went back to Trailer #1 (above). It began playing after about a 5 second wait (as did #s 2 and 3). So somehow emptying the Safari cache before playing trailers helps a lot.
If anyone has further thoughts on this mystery, I'm all ears. Thanks for your efforts thus far.

Trouble capturing analog video using Quicktime 7 in Yosemite
I am attempting to use Quicktime 7 Pro under Yosemite to convert old 8 mm or Hi8 analog videotapes to digital .mov files. The tapes are being played through a Sony TRV350 camcorder, which digitizes the analog video, and outputs digital video via the iLink (Firewire) output, which then goes to the Thunderbolt input on my MacBook Pro using an adapter. I start the camcorder and then start QT7 Pro.
This DOES WORK - for a short while. After taking in 32MB of data or a minute (of a 90 minute video), QT7 stops capturing data with a message:
"Recording stopped because the format of the source media changed. Media of different formats cannot be recorded to the same file"
What does this mean and how do I get around it?
PS: There are not many ways to convert these old tapes. Under Yosemite iMovie will no longer accept video from a Hi8 camcorder. There is some discussion of older iMovie HD but this does not work properly under Yosemite at all.
Need to digitize these old family tapes - any help will be appreciatedOne tiny wrinkle is that "Save" from Vidi gives an error message but "Save as" works fine. I suspect Vidi may also stop working with the next OS X release.
Since you did not indicate the specific nature of the error message, I don't know if this is a "fixable" problem or not. The difference between the "Save/Record" and "Save As.../Record As..." options is that the former automatically stored the captured files in a designated location using a default filename. You may wish to check or reset the preference settings here to see they are causing your issue.
Yes, the conversion of a 90 min tape does give a 21 GB file but I don't care - these family videos are irreplaceable and storage is cheap.
This sounds about right—i.e, the normal average DV-25/DVCPRO-25 total data rate is on the order of 28.5 Mbps (or about 13 GB/hour) with DV-50/DVCPRO-50 about 57 Mbps and DV-100/HDV about 114 Mbps.
One more question. Now that I have a DV file, what can I use to convert to a more compressed format that preserves quality? QT7 to save as H.264 is best? Or something else? Toast?
This normally depends on your goals and personal workflow preferences.
For instance, if you are editing content (i.e., trimming; merging; adding titles, fades, transitions, effects, etc.), I would normally use the export/share options that are available from within the editing app itself. On the other hand, for simple trims and export/share of files, I would normally use QT X or QT 7 Pro depending on the specific project needs and/or level of manual control desired. For totally edit-free conversions, I would normally use the encoder options now built into Yosemite (or Mavericks) operating system at the Finder level or the free HandBrake app. (The former basically employs a non-anamorphic approach with high/low quality or target device controlled quality options while the latter has a better graphic user interface for anamorphic strategies with more manual control for truly customized exports as needed.)
EXAMPLE 1: The family normal has Thanksgiving at my brother-in-laws home in PA so my son hosts a second "pseudo-Thanksgiving" dinner on January 1st for the relatives here in NJ. This year I wore a GoPro and within minutes of returning home created the following "trailer" of the gathering (with a total absence of any real planning or forethought) using iMovie to shared the file directly to Mail for posting to others. In this case, I used the video editor to both edit and share a "quickie" video with the rest of our relatives from the East to West Coast. I.e., it seemed the most efficient workflow for the mini-project... SAMPLE VIDEO
EXAMPLE 2: On the other hand, several yeas ago I was asked to post a "quickie" tutorial showing how to layer audio and video content. As this was a relatively simple project, I used QT 7 Pro for this project. Here is the resulting SAMPLE FILE created while making the tutorial.
EXAMPLE 3: In cases where the quality of the source file varies drastically—one video being an 80 year old cinema classic and the next a just released blockbuster loaded with special effects—and/or the source files are not "natively" compatible with QT, I prefer HandBrake for its ability to "tweak" settings over a wide range to create "universal" playback files for all mobile devices, local network streaming, and sharing via internet... SAMPLE 1959 TRAILER
EXAMPLE 4: Lastly, when I simply want to just transcode one or more QT compatible files (for any number of reasons) at the Finder level without having to open a dedicated converter utility, I simply select/highlight the files in the Finder and pass them to the Yosemite/Mavericks operating system for conversion... POCKET RECORDER SAMPLE FILE
As you can see, you have a myriad of options to choose from depending on your personal preferences, needs, goals, etc. As to H.24/X.264/MPEG-4 AVC, yes I would recommend sticking with any encoder that adheres to the JVT standard since it has become a default Mac system standard and, with different settings, is extremely scaleable with regard to use—i.e., it can handle anything from cellular streaming to Blu-ray or multi-K Hi-Def resolutions. However, for all-purpose use, I stick to High Profile (current mobile, TV, High-Speed Internet compatible) or Main Profile (older mobile device, original TV, lower-speed platform compatible) anamorphic encodes at level 3.1 which nicely covers data rates from less then 100 Kbps up to 14 Mbps or anything most users will ever need. -
