I posted some videos on my site and for some reason even if they install Quicktime they wont play. does anyone have any suggestions.

Your movies are playing OK for me in Safari.
Try using this free player so that your movies can be seen in all browsers on PC and Mac and iPhone/iPad too....

Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all?? Looks like I can set it for one but not others. All, one, or nothing

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Help, I'm drowning...movies play on computer but not in DVD players

a problem i seem to have with my videos is that when I am done, they play on computers using dvd player apps but when I burn them to a DVD to play in a DVD player they do not play correctly. It drops frames or looks like they skip or something..For instance they play for a couple of seconds, stop, continue to play, stop, continue to play...this goes on throughout the entire video.
What causes this to happen? I've experimented with different compression formats and get the same outcome. I also tried both DVD studio and Toast to burn the DVD and get same results with both.
Is there a basic setting that I am over looking? What is the format that everyone uses when using Compressor? Currently I go from FCP, to Compressor, to DVD...I have nearly went through all the compressor formats and still get jerky,stop/play/stop/play video when going to the DVD format....
HELP...what am I over looking??

"....and you still haven't converted your audio to Dolby2 as I've suggested since my first post."
YES It was converted in compressor to a Dolby/ac3 file this morning when i mentioned it in my last post .."that I re-compressed it again as a "Best Quality 90...." and said that it fixed about 95% of the jerkiness..."
And since your first post i've only been at the project since this morning...not last night.and it was the first thing i tackled (and tried) when i got in ..When I posted the issue i was at home and not at the office, so Iwas not able to try anything until this morning
So let me re-explain what I have done to the file since 7:30 this AM..
I re-sent it to compressor, compressed at Best 90/Dolby ->AC3....I then opened DVDsp...I dragged both files...(the Mpeg file and the AC3 to the DVDsp window...Simulated and burned..I burn two copies. one for me, one for the client...we use two different DVD players. He says its still a lil jerky...I reply saying yes I saw it on my disc as well.
SO with being said and the file IS currently a dolby AC3...why would it still be jerky?
Would it have anything to do with footage being ripped from another disc?
I really appreciate the help you offering but it sounds like you are being condescending trough your answers and making it seem as though i am not doing what you suggest.

Problem: Flash movie plays on desktop, but not on website

Hi, I'm new to Flash but have successfully created a Flash Movie that works using Firefox and Safari on my (iMac) desktop, but not after I upload to my website.
I started with an flv video, imported it into an fla document along with a playback skin then published it creating an html file and two swf files. I've checked the html file, and it looks fine. The flv file is only 17MB and I've uploaded all 5 files to my site on:
http://www.cantata.co.uk/temp2/minorswing.html
but all I seem to get is the control skin's "sending data" pole turning.The movie never arrives. I can get much bigger mpeg and wmv movies up on my screen very quickly.
Can anyone suggest what the problem may be? I'm running Snow Leopard on my Mac (OX 10.6.6). I've tried using different videos but nothing seems to work.
Here's the relevant html generated by Flash

Many thanks if you can help

Thanks - I don't know what as2 is. I'm using Flash CS5. When I import the flv movie file, I'm asked to choose a skin and then a window comes up to tell me that the address of the flv file with respect to the other files will be minorswing.flv by which I take it to mean that all the files need to be in the same level of folder (directory). All five are in the same folder on my Mac and in the same folder on my website. I can't see how I can influence the program in choosing a different structure or outputting different html in the Publish Settings or elsewhere.
I would have expected the relative structure of the files to be maintained between my desktop, where I can play the movie in my browsers, and the website, where I can't. I was surprised there was no "src" param name in the html, and I did try inserting one, but it made no difference, so I assumed the default for the html is to be in the same folder as the html and that the minorswing.swf file would contain information on the whereabouts of the flv file and the skin swf file.
Is there a way of reading or editing the swf files to include an absolute url?

Movie plays in preview but not playing in chm

I've tried several different methods of adding flash video
files to a HTML Help project.
I've added the files to the Baggage Files and the Multimedia
folder (at least I think they're in the Multimedia folder!!).
When I preview the help page in RH, the movie plays as
expected. But, after compiling the help, the page looks blank and
the movie does not play.
Any suggestions?

Movie plays in iTunes but not on ATV2

Too bizarre.... I have the original 2 discs of a great German movie - Das Boot - which I converted (using Handbrake) into 2 separate m4v files and then combined (using QT Pro 7.6.6) into one file which saves as a .mov file. Plays fine using Quicktime (any version) and even plays fine in iTunes, but doesn't play at all through ATV2. If I highlight the movie in iTunes and then (under the Advanced menu) try to "Create iPad or Apple TV Version" I'm told that it's already in the correct format. I tried converting the .mov file to m4v using Handbrake and the resulting file (m4v) plays fine in iTunes and QT (any version) but in ATV2 the second disc part has no audio (but the subtitles have always been OK). I went to the Handbrake forum but nobody seems to know how to fix the problem or they simply aren't answering my questions. My final attempt to solve the problem is to export (using QT Pro 7.6.6) "Movie to Apple TV" but it's looking like it's going to take a few hours to convert a 3 1/2 hr movie file (about 2 GB) and I have my doubts that it'll even finish the conversion or that it will play on ATV2 ultimately. Does anyone have any idea what's happening and how I can fix the problem?

Images enlarge and movies play in iweb, but not when published

Everything works fine in the program, but when published to site or folder, photos are there, but won't enlarge. The movie thumbnail shows with the little movie icon in the corner, but clicking does nothing.

On all of your pages you have an image that appears to cover the photos preventing them from being clicked on.
Move it to the back via the Arrange menu or get rid of it.
How did you add the videos to the page? If you just dragged them onto the page or used the movie page then iWeb will have to upload them when it publishes the page and all will load when the page is accessed which can cause long loading time for the page.
Also thre are some files missing for the TV page as seen in the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page. Publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open it there. Check to see if the movies play OK (after you fix that overlaying image issue). If they do then the problem lies in the uploading of the files.
If those files are Quicktime then the viewers must have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to view them. See this page on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site for methods of presenting movies that will let all computers view them: Player-Showcase.html. See the list at the right for different players you can use.

Flash Player works for Administrator but not other users

I have Flash Player 10.2.153.1 installed and I am running Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows Internet Explorer 8. If I am logged in as the Administrator I have no problem watching video previews from the Odeon and other similar websites. However, if logged on a Standard user account Odeon film previews cannot be seen - all I get is a blank white viewing box with a small square box in the top left corner with the colours red, green and blue in it (it is too vague to make out what the logo is even when zoomed in). The inability to watch video clips for Standard users seems to be random as some sites work while others do not? Can anyone help solve this problem? Why do I have this problems for the standard user accounts on some websites but not at all for the Administrator account on any website ???

IMAP Working for some but not others

I am having the issue of imap working for some users and not others. I have for instance 2 users both accounts the same. One account I can link via imap the other I can not. Both have the same group memberships, both are in the same post office. Everyone has imap access I have no restictrions set. Any idea where I should begin to look. The message I am receiving on the account the can get in is: user does not exist.

Audio plays for menu but not for the movie??

Hi-
I made a dvd with music from an mp3 playing over the menu. It works fantastically. Then when I play the movie, the audio is GONE.
Note: I CAN get the movie audio to play when I increase the music level of the menu audio, but then when that happens the audio of the menu gets extremely distorted because its too loud. I dont want the level of the menu audio louder than the movie audio anyway. Anyone run into this?

Hi
iMovie and iDVD seems to have problems with various audio formats.
iTune music - goes silent on DVD disc etc.
Way around (and I allways do):
• convert all audio esp .mp3 and from iTunes to .aiff
• import this into iMovie then after edit closing iMovie
• open iDVD and import the movie project
(I never use the Share/Export to iDVD function in iMovie)

.mov playing in iTunes but not Quicktime

Please bear with me as I try to explain this as best as possible.
I have an issue where .mov files will not play properly in quicktime (i.e. skipping, static, just messing up). However .mov files all work fine in iTunes and with other video apps. The odd part that confuses me is that I can play .mov files off quicktime fine from my external hard drive...but the errors happen in quicktime when I play the files off the computer.
Help? Suggestions anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Gosh it took me a half hour to log back in here .. I sometimes think they differentiate between the iTunes password and the Apple password .. so irritating.
Okay .. there is something I just found out that is important for me so obviously I am not an expert on this but now I am sure it is a codec that must be your problem and the reason why it is happening on your computer as opposed to (what did you say you were successful at using it on .. an external hard drive) your external hard drive is that the hard drive probably does not have other codecs installed. I have a million codecs (*.dll, *.ax) and if you do a search for those file types in your QuickTime folder you will see quite a few of them. I think though also there are some under Sys32 .. you know the Windows folder.
okay so now
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=574d5633
that link has some outside codecs that install on QuickTime .... BUT the thing that may be even more important is that if you are like me perhaps I did not purchase the
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL837
QuickTime Pro 7 registration code
I have tried to purchase as many codes or codecs that I could to make my QuickTime Pro work better .. and there has been no message for me to purchase a registration code after the one that I already have. But also I purchased the MPEG 2 codec and I am sort of lost on that one because I have to find out if that has an upgrade.   The thing is .. is the version of QuickTime Player that I just installed SEPARATE from iTunes .. usually I upgrade them both at the same time but I was trying to see if there were some codecs that I could purchase separately for my QuickTime Pro and I noticed on the Apple QuickTime site that their version was higher than the one last installed with iTunes. So now I installed the separate QuickTime Pro lates version (I thought .. but when does that ever apply for longer than 24 hours ... geez I get tired of all of this upgrading!) and it says it is Version 7.7 (1680.34) ... which is annoying when you now ask a question about why there is no codec in your QuickTime Pro to be allowing it to open an *.avi file and it sends you to the link of the iTunes download (with QuickTime of course which is about 90 MBs .. at least ) and all the upgrade version says is 7.7!
This is all too frustrating I know. You have to really make sure that your iTunes program though is NOT associating with the *.mov file type. You have to see what program is associated with the *.mov and the *.qt file types. Then also like me check to see if you need to buy this QuickTime Pro 7 registration code. Then also do a scan of your *.dll and *.ax codecs and see if you have one that is interfering with the QuickTime Pro playing *.mov files.
Do you have another media player program besides iTunes and QuickTime? Like for example Windows Media Player? I have plenty and have been trying to get enough codecs so that I can just use all of the programs with all of the file types. (good luck)
well anyway hope I did not confuse you   - If you find out anything about the QuickTime Pro 7 Registration code versus the 6 (I bought my QuickTime Pro way before even 6 came in) then let me know.

New movies available for purchase but not rental?

I know this is the content owners and not Apple, but it's extremely annoying to have to wait almost a month to be able to rent a recently released movie, especially when I can rent it from other sources.

It makes perfect commercial sense currently - people eager enough to get the movie on release will pay to buy it (in SD), and they'll later maybe rent in HD.
The studios are simply leeching your money...

ITunes will play some videos, but not others?

Hello,
I use my MacBook Pro at home with Apple TV to home share videos and music. I have also recently upgraded to mavericks.
When I play videos on my tv at home they work fine, but I am traveling and now videos will not play. They just show 0:00 with a pause button instead of a play button. Some videos do work, but only a handful.
Would this be due to the mavericks upgrade? Should I re-install iTunes?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi gta,
Ok.. let's try this. Launch Disk Utility, it's in your Applications/Utilities folder. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click: Repair Disk Permissions. Quit Disk Utility when it's finished.
Get Onyx. It's a free disk utility. Run the Maintenance and Cleaning Scripts once a week. It's available here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/systemdiskutilities/onyx.html
If none of the above works, delete these files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkDiagnostics.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.NetworkUtility.plist
Note -- the com.apple.network.Config.plist is not located in your home folder --
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your network preferences.

TS2972 Apple TV will play some content but not other content

My AppleTV will recognize the available content on my computer and will play some of it, but when I try to watch other content it says that I must authorize the computer. However, the computer is already authorized, which Apple TV sees because it will play my music and a TV show I've downloaded. The content that it will not play was downloaded directly onto my iPad, and I can watch it on my iPad. When I try to watch it on Apple TV, it says I need to authorize the computer.
This is very frustrating. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Just needed to Re-authorize the computer and every thing worked fine. I imagine this will solve most of the issues that I see posted on here concerning this problem.

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play in quicktime but not iTunes

How can I move movies from my computer to my iPad? They will play with quicktime but not iTunes so I can't sync them

Th AVPlayerHD works well for playing other video types. You can transfer the videos via USB in the app tab in iTunes on your computer. When you open that tab when you have you iPad connected to the computer scroll down and you will see apps listed on the left and a blank on the right. Click on the app and then click on the add button under the blank window on the right. Then navigate to the video you want to play and it will transfer it to the iPad. I have about 14 movies on mine using AVPlayerHD. works very well. Also have VLC player (before it was yanked from the app store). Works about the same.
You can also get the app Air Video and stream the video to from your computer to the iPad, and even have Theo ad connected to the tv to watch on there. I do that all the time with my iPhone. Saves time with not having to sync movies all the time.
