H264 profile for mp4 videos on mac firefox?

I have some videos which are not playing on firefox beta on MAC 10.10. Can somebody tell me what is the exact profile and settings needed to be set for H264 video?

HI hello512,
It does not sound like a general error because with the same set up I can view this file example: [http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4]
Are any of the following interfering with the videos:
# After you Clear the cache
# Disable interfering extensions or ad-blocking software
# Check some Firefox settings, specifically the cookie preferences in the Privacy section of Preferences in Firefox.
Are there any content preferences that may be saved to save mp4 files within Firefox: [[Applications panel - Set how Firefox handles different types of files]]

Best settings for mp4 video for ipod and watching on imac (apple tv)

Have a few films in mp2 format (recorded from digital tv) and want to use mpeg stream clip (1.93b version )software to convert to mp4 that will play on ipod and look ok on a imac 20'screen.
Ive converted a couple but these do not play correctly on ipod (sound ok, just a collection of still frames-prob to high a bit rate etc..)
What are everyones settings for mp4 that looks ok on 20inch screen and the small ipod screen?
cheers,

Try converting using iSquint (just google it). This should be good.

How can I make mp4 videos play in Firefox?

YouTube works fine. Other websites play videos, no problem.
But then I'll go to a website and see a message that the video is either corrupt or is not supported.
When I search for how to play mp4 in Firefox I end up at this site:
http://www.jwplayer.com/blog/the-state-of-html5-firefox-now-supports-mp4/
With the huge headline Firefox Now Supports MP4.
No, it ****ing doesn't!
A bit frustrated, because everywhere I look for help on this, I either come across pages saying it should work, Firefox supports mp4 etc, OR forums where it's webmakers asking the question and then the solution is something wrong in their coding - which doesn't help me, the lonely end user.
When I go to this suggested test site: http://techslides.com/demos/sample-videos/small.mp4
I get the error message: Video can't be played because the file is corrupt.
No, it's not. I can download it and play it on WinAmp.
When I go to this suggested test site: http://www.html5videoplayer.net/html5video/mp4-h-264-video-test/
I get the error: No video with supported format and MIME type found.
Huh? Again, I can download and play it fine.
But Firefox won't play it.
Soooooo
Is there a fix in the wind?
Is there something I can tweak or change to make Firefox recognize and play this stuff?
Is there a plugin/extension/addon that I need to download to play mp4?
If this is a known problem that is going to be fixed eventually, is there something I can do as a substitute (ie a plugin for now)?
Because it seems like the only alternative is to abandon Firefox and start using Chrome, which has no problem with the above-mentioned videos.

I have win7 home, firefox 35.0.1. Java but no other add-on/extension that matters.
And it works, both your links.
Try running firefox in safe mode and see if it works

Can't seem to stream mp4 video from Mac to PC

I've created some video using Handbrake on my macbook pro. I added it to my iTunes on my mac, and confirmed that it plays just fine on the mac, and also on my Apple TV2. However, when I try to play the same video on my PC, it doesn't work. It just sits and stalls iTunes.
However, when I attempt to stream a PURCHASED video (from the iTunes store), from the same mac, to the same PC, it works just fine.
I've found some reference to the problem on other forums, but, the solutions seem to not be working for me. I've tried lostify to fix the atomic parsley info (which people say is the root cause of the problem), but, no joy.
So, does anyone know how to fix video streaming via. home sharing from a mac to a pc?
Both are using iTunes10.0.1.

This is a very good question. I am about to buy an AppleTV2. I also use Handbrake to copy my dvds and want to stream them to my AppleTV. Before I buy one I'd like to see what you find out. Have you tried doing an m4v format?
Let me know what you find. Thanks

Javascript error for instagram videos only in firefox

I still have no luck with anyone having a solution to this issue , which started with Firefox 35.1 and today Firefox did a 36.0 update and the issue is still not fixed
Issue , i try to watch videos from Instagram on a motorcycle forum , and on riders own pages and they wont play weather i click on the link to Instagram itself where the video is , or if its embedded into the forum topic (i do not , nor have i ever had a Instagram account , but was always able to view the videos until the 35.01 update) and the video shows up , but when you click on the arrow in the middle of the video to play it , the video just sits there and does nothing , in the lower corner of the web page , right above my taskbar , i see " javascript;" , so i am guessing its some javascript issue , but Oracal does not show any issues , and it only happens in Firefox , Google Chrome plays the same video fine , this is a example of the videos i am trying to watch but wont play

I have tried fixes that have been suggested (this is another post i made but help has been limited) https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1046495 , but they do nothing (resetting firefox , disabling add-ons , all the normal "try this" solutions do nothing) , any actual solutions to this issue ?? , i would really like to be able to watch these types of videos again , i don't understand why this is even a issue , it worked before 35.01 and since it has not , so the issue IS with Firefox , it needs to be addressed , Thanks .... Jim

There might not be a need for two Java plugins, in order to remove the vulnerable one:
# Open in a url bar about:plugins
# Next to the Java plugin marked vulnerable click "Remove"
#Restart Firefox
Javascript is a bit different from Java.
*[[JavaScript settings and preferences for interactive web pages]]
The web console is a web developer tool used to look at what makes the webpage. Since the video is not playing, something is blocking it. It can be permissions, an extension, hardware acceleration etc. Usually an error message in the console can give a clue. It is located in Tools > Web Developer > Web Console

Mp4 video on mac powerpoint does not play on windows comp

i am making a power point and i input video onto it and saved all the videos in a folder on the jumpdrive so theyre saved, but powerpoint on the windows computer said mp4 was an unrecognized format. what to do?

Can you be more specific?
What videos? What are you using to try to play them?
Also, this forum is for Apple support. Since your problem is Windows related, you are not likely to get much help here.

Incompatible web sites, playing wmv video on mac

I am an expert pc user switching to mac...
I realized when I made the switch that they would be software that worked with PC that would not work with MAC. What has really surprised me, is there seems to be many web sites that will not work with MAC and its browsers.
This started with a conversation with apple support, where they indicated there were incompatible web sites.
My business bank stops you cold and says you have to use IE; you can ignore it and move on and it seems to work ok.
The Walgreen pharmacy web site has a drug cost calculator that also says you must use IE, and you cannot move on.
What really concerns me are the ones that give you no warning, but just don't work. If you go to
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/default.aspx?tabid=777
under the title of Video introduction:
Mac Firefox - nothing displays for the video player
Mac Safari - the video player displays, but the video will not play.
PC IE - everything works as expected.
The video format is wmv, which is an industry standard. I installed flip4mac, which is supposed to allow you to view wmv in quicktime, but it did work. Even after downloading the video (a link), I could not watch in on the mac. I had to go to a PC.
This type of silliness is exactly why I am running from a PC. Now I am finding it prevalent on the mac.
Question 1) specific to the wmv file format, how do you get it to run on mac?
Question 2) is this just the way it is? You cannot depend on web applications working at all with mac?
thanks!
bob

Hi Bob,
Ok, I'll bite
Apple has to understand that we don't care about who is at fault for web sites not working with Mac
The WebKit team are more than aware of that fact, and where possible they work with popular websites to get them to correct their websites or add specific 'kludges' into the WebKit code to specifically support these sites.
Apple has the ability to have an IE mode in safari to handle these situations, but hey choose not to
I've not heard that before. Can you quote a source?
If it takes IE compatibility mode to handle all web sites, then just do it.
That of course costs money. And then there's the prospect of Apple having to license Microsoft's DRM solution to provide 100% compatibility with Windows Media files. As we all know, Apple like good P.R. as much as the next company and handing something like that to Microsoft is never going to happen.
Microsoft clearly won't provide updated WMP technology for OS X as it gives them nothing, other than the extra impetus for people to switch away from Windows.
So we're stuck with essentially badgering the broken sites to fix things, or going somewhere else (and spending our $$$ there if needed).
The bar for a college student is much lower
True, but today's college student is tomorrow's business person and Apple products are very popular with college students these days. Apple are in this for the long term. Things will change, but we have to live in the real world and know this isn't going to happen soon.
The truth of the matter is that the sooner Microsoft get on board with being a responsible web-citizen then the better it will be for everyone (and by everyone I don't just mean Apple users, but anyone connected to the internet).
Almost [1 in 3 browsers on the web are not Internet Explorer|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usageshare_of_webbrowsers] - that's a huge number and businesses on the web need to be aware of this.
Please please please do not get me wrong - I would love it if Safari (or Firefox, or Opera, or Chrome, or ...) could handle every site that IE does but it's never, ever going to happen.
Cheers,
Ben

Finding paper profiles for printer

I have an Epson and a Canon inkjet printer connected to my Macs, and I am trying to find profiles for different inkjet papers that I can add to the printers so that they will print correctly on the papers.
The available paper types listed in the printing options are very limited and don't include options even for the range of papers sold by the printer manufacturer.
I am not familiar with this process.
Are there downloadable profiles for printers working on Mac OSX?
Can you load paper profiles for different brands of paper?
Does the process involve something more?
I have read about having to do calibrations and even having to buy profiles from commercial sources, but I am not clear how all this works.
Thanks for any advice.

Sandra,
A Web search shows that the Epson R200 ICC profiles can still be downloaded from Epsons Europe support site:
http://esupport.epson-europe.com/ProductHome.aspx?lng=en-IE&data=0ccCGROWIYNJMHdXYGN6YGnTD tzMkZkpGSql5Sbfon4U003D&tc=6
You can extract the profiles into a folder and then use Control Panel > Color Management > All Profiles > Add to add those profiles to your system.

Shared photostream mp4 video sharing problem

Is anybody able to add an mp4 video to a shared photostream using the latest icloud control panel for the PC (3.0). Apple says mp4 files are compatible but they are filtered out of the results when I browse to the folder with them. The only ones I can add that I've found are .mov.

OK, I figured it out. There appears to be a bug with icloud control panel 3.0 that doesn't allow you to do step 4, bullet point 2 for mp4 videos; however, apple gives you an option to do step 4, bullet point one instead:
On a Windows computer
Select Photo Stream under Favorites in a folder window of File Explorer (Windows 8) or Windows Explorer (Windows 7).
Double-click the shared stream you want to add photos or videos to.
Click "Add photos or videos” in the toolbar.
In the dialog that appears, do either of the following:
Drag photos or videos to the dialog from another window.
Click “Choose photos or videos.”
Click Done.

Possibility to assign a color profile in the color management tab for more video formats

Presently, in After Effects CS5, in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box the possibility to assign a color profile to footage is grayed out for many video formats.
Formats that allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation as well as various image sequences, like tiff-sequences. (Motion JPEG A,B and Quicktime/MPEG-4 are not very helpful in this context because they have a small color shift when reimported to After Effects.)
Formats that do not allow to assign a color profile include Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V. (Here, H264 main concept has anyway the disadvantage that it has a color shift when reimported into After Effects.)
In After Effects CS4 it was possible to assign a color profile to Quicktime/H264, Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, but in CS5 this is no longer possible.
Those video formats that do not allow to assign a color profile automatically are interpreted as having the color profile HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr in case that the videos have 1920x1080 format; similar applies to PAL formats which get SDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr color profile.
(I did not find anything of this automatic assignment to HDTV or SDTV color profile in the "interpretation rules.txt" file, therefore it must be written into the programme itself.)
With growing popularity of wide gamut monitors it becomes necessary to produce footage and other videos that have a color profile different from HDTV or sRGB. When such footage is reimported to After Effects it has the wrong color and the only workarounds are either to use (in After Effects) the effect "Color profile converter" which necessitates extra render time or to use somewhat unpopular formats, like JPEG2000 that has very large filesize.
Presently many footage is produced in Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and therefore it would be very desirable to allow to assign a color profile to such footage in the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box.
Does anyone know why in AE CS5 the video formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG and Quicktime/H264 do not allow to have an arbitrary color profile assigned (although it was possible in CS4), is it a bug, or does it have a deeper reason.
In this context I have a related question, often I read that Quicktime videos have a gamma tag. Does this mean that part of the color profile (the gamma value) is actually embedded/remembered, like you have it for images where the gamma is part the embedded color profile.
I use AE CS5 on Mac Pro 2009 with OS 10.6.7.
Thanks,
Volker

Thank you Rick for this interesting explanations and the links to articles.
In the past few days I performed a few tests in After Effects and it is interesting that you mention that cameras, like the Sony EX3, allow videos to have embedded color profiles. I am not working myself with cameras but either get footage from the internet or sometimes videos from our video department which produces videos with professional SONY cameras, usually I get them in a matrox mxf format.
As far as my test with After Effects show it is not possible to embed color profiles in the videos rendered with After Effects. Independent of the color profile in the working space and independent from the color profile in the output module I always get the same reaction if I reimport videos rendered by After Effects back to After Effects:
In AE CS5 videos made in the formats Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V are always interpreted as color profile SDTV/HDTV (Rec. 709) Y'CbCr (even if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, sRGB); and there is no possibility to change this interpretation rule.
In contrast videos made in the formats Quicktime/JPEG2000, Quicktime/Motion JPEG A, Quicktime/Motion JPEG B, Quicktime/MPEG-4, Quicktime/Animation are always interpreted as sRGB (even if if I made them in other color profiles, such as Adobe RGB, Photo RGB, HDTV); only this time I can change the interpretation rule. Therefore if I know for example that if I had selected Photo RGB in the Output module I can change after the reimport the interpretation rule from sRGB to Photo RGB and only then I get again the original colors.
The only exceptions are picture sequences, such as tiff-sequences, where the original color profile is automatically selected in the interpretation of the footage.
Therefore, unfortunately for videos produced by After Effects your advice "If it says something like sRGB and you can change it, in most cases you shouldn't change it because the guess is probably right. If there is no color profile assigned then you should assume that is correct." is not so easy to be applied. You have to know how you did it originally in the Output module and hope that you can change it to the proper color profile, in case that the original color profile in the Output module was different from sRGB and HDTV/SDTV. But it is interesting to hear from you that with cameras there seem to be more possibilities.
For this reason it would be nice if in future versions of After Effects one could change the color profile in the the color management tab of the "Interpret Footage" dialog box also for formats such as Quicktime/PhotoJPEG, Quicktime/H264, H264 main concept, DVCPRO HD 1080p30, F4V.
Of course one can always circumvent shortcomings by using tiff-sequences, QT/jpeg2000, or QT/Animation as formats for storing, which is anyway better for lossless or nearly lossless storing, but the files are then too large and also cannot be played easily with a player.

What setting for .MP4 using Magic Video Converter?...

What setting do you use for best video when converting video files to .MP4 using Magic Video Converter?? To play on Nokia N95 8gb.
After you have chose to convert to MP4, you can chose a load of diffrent "setting/format" for the MP4 file. But what would be best?

Here we go again.
Best for what?
Video quality, smallest size, TV-out, etc.
The best for TV-out is not the same than the best for watching in phone.
If you want the best size to quality compromise then a different setting may be better.
For example best quality to size compromise would be something like:
Container : MP4
Res: 320x240
Codec: Mpeg4 AVC h264 Baseline profile
Bitrate: 256 kbps
Framerate: as per source
Audio: AAC 44100 Hz @ 64 kbps

I need a good program for merging MP4 files on Mac, i need a program that wont mess up the sound?

Hey, pal. If you are using a Mac, I think aprofessional MP4 video joiner for Mac would be the best choice, which cancombine MP4 Video and output to iPod (also to Quicktime, iMovie, iPhone...).
It was recommended by lots of famous mac-relatedsites, such as macworld.com, macnn.com, maclife.com, etc. You will never knowhow powerful it is. It’s the best all-in-one Mac converter I have used ever.
Glad to share. And you can find the truthon official website:http://imp4converter.com/mp4joiner_mac.html

??? Sorry, my knoledge does not go that far! By bouncing you mean drop into iTunes? Remember some of the files are not splitted into tracks...Thanks!

"fast start" for .MP4 H264/AAC ?

Hi,
I am looking now for a "fast start" option in Compressor 4 for .MP4 H264/AAC encoded files.
Is there a way to do that ?
Thanks
Eric

Eric,
See if this works for you. Start with the Broadband High preset (you could use any preset). Open the Encoder pane; in File Format, choose Quick Time; Click on Video Settings and in Compression Settings, select H.264. Set your data and then Optimize for streaming. Return to Encoder and open Audio settings to specify thge format you want; In the Encoder, select Streaming and then select Fast Start. In the Extension box, change the extension from .mov to .mp4. You should wind up with a MP4 H.264 CBR preset.
Good luck.
Russ
