Help with QuickTime Video

A friend of mine has a PC/Windows, and when he tries to play any video using either QT or RealPlayer, he only gets audio, no video is showing up.
What codecs/plugins would he be missing?
I don't know squat about that kind of things on Windows.
Thanks,
Jordan

The only "new" codec for QuickTime is H.264 and it requires the viewing machine (Mac or PC) to have QuickTime version 7 installed.
Open the file (Mac or PC) and then open the Movie Info window. It should show what codecs are used in the file.
Have the PC update their version of QuickTime as a first test.

Help with embedding videos

Hello,
I please need help with embedding videos from youtube. I do this via the Web panel (not the video panel) and copied the embed code on Youtube and pasted it into my Indesign CS6 (autoplay activated). I did it according to that helpful video: http://blogs.adobe.com/jlockman/2013/06/04/embedding-youtube-videos-into-your-dps-project/
However, when testing this on my iPad, only a white box appears and I cannot press a play button.

Are you sure, that you changed code from youtube?
Code from youtube is:
src="//www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
but you need to change it to
src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KulFWmvbEu4
For us, best result is to embed video via:
menu Object > Include HTML (don't know exact english name of menu), paste iframe code with correct http link and then it works.

Help with flash video buffering

I need help with flash video buffering. I've created a
buffering graphic to show up when the clip is loading. The problem
that I'm having is that when the video finishs playing, the buffer
is empty and the graphic pops back on. The following is the code
that I'm using to call and buffer the video. Any help would be
great!
stop();
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
ns.setBufferTime(10);
ns.onStatus = function(info){
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Full"){
bufferClip._visible = false;
if(info.code == "NetStream.Buffer.Empty"){
bufferClip._visible = true;
if (info.code == "NetStream.Stop") {
bufferClip._visible = false;
theVideo.attachVideo (ns);
ns.play("my_clip.flv");
rewindButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.seek(0);
playButton.onRelease= function(){
ns.pause();
}

Again thank you for your help in advance...
I put the script folder into the root. As far as the .flv
file it is showing up as being "put" to my web server. when i
checked the root folder it is there. again i am having the same
problem.. the local view works but when i check it on the web it
just shows that there should be a flash video there but it does not
show up.
i created a new root for this test page the new link is..

and the Scripts folder
thanks again for any help..

Need Help with QuickTime to Apple TV Export Weirdness

I am having a problem using QuickTime Player 7 Pro to convert a movie file in its original 1280x720 size for use with Apple TV. (iMovie creates a 960x540 file for Apple TV by default and the only way to get a 1280x720 file is to have iMovie use QuickTime to export it as a .mov file in that size and convert it to a .m4v file for Apple TV separately, with QuickTime Player 7 Pro. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to produce the 1280x720 file that is compatible with Apple TV.
To demonstrate my issue, I exported two projects from iMovie, both using the Export via QuickTime menu option, set at Movie to QuickTIme Movie, 1280x720, H.264, 24fps:
- Movie 1 is an 8:20 video. (All library video taken by the same camera and imported into iMovie at the same time).
- Movie 2 is a :15 test video using a clip from the same source as Movie 1.
Next, I used QuickTime Player 7 Pro to export Movie 2, the short test clip, using the Movie to Apple TV setting. It yielded a 1280x720 .m4v file, just as I wanted. With that test completed, I moved on to the full video.
When I exported Movie 1, the full 8:20 movie, using exactly the same setting in QuickTime Player 7 Pro, it produced a 960x540 .m4v file! Repeated exports yielded the same results.
How can this happen? How do I get the1280x720p Apple TV-compatible file that I want?

Thanks for the detailed reply. I have exported movies from iMovie many times with the "Export using QuickTime/Movie to QuickTime Movie" Share menu option. Despite the fact that Apple literature states that TV1 will play an H.264/AAC 1280x720, 24fps MOV file, I have never been able to get one to play. It won't even sync. (I get an error message stating the sync didn't work because the file is incompatible with TV.)
Sorry for the delay in responding. Wanted to check a couple of files on the TV1. Don't have many files encoded at 720p24 and have re-converted most for better AC3 DD5.1 quality at 640 Kbps for the TV2 units.. In any case, wanted to make a quick check to see if they still played with increased specs after the last update. Files play but only for a few seconds before freezing. Thought it might be to to wireless streaming to the TV1 so I tried synching a test file but it played the same way. Only files that still play are 540p30 files. Not sure if they have really "killed" 720p or not as a couple of trailers (Thor and Captain America) play at 1280x544 (i.e. 2720 macro-blocks) which is significantly more than my 960x540 (2040 macro-block) files. Might be interesting to see if a 960x720 PAR encoded file will still play on the TV1. (Not that it would help you but it is a matter of some curiosity for me.)
I spent much time at my Apple retail store trying to see what I may have done wrong. The Apple Geniuses there confirmed with me that TV1 will not play this type of file. (I have no experience with TV 2, but I would be surprised if the results were different.
Then be prepared to be surprised. The TV2 plays the 720p files just fine even with the increased audio data rate for the secondary AC3 DD5.1 surround sound. In fact, I am seriously considering the retirement of the TV2 so I can watch all files without having to worry about frame rates. (Besides, my wife keeps complaining that the bedroom TV (the TV1 unit) doesn't play her Netflix "chick flicks."
I just tried renaming the MOV file to M4V. It now syncs with my TV. Unfortunately, it still won't play. The error message on the screen states "The format was not recognized."
Strange, my files are recognized, stream, sync, and play (albeit with frozen video as sound continues) whether I use a real M4V or MOV file container. (Don't have an MP4 720p file to test at the moment.)
So, I am forced to export and then convert. That said, I am embarrassed (but happy) to admit that I found the solution to my QT 7 Pro problem. As I experimented further today,I found that my test file (Movie 2) was exported by iMovie at 24 fps and the full movie was exported at 30 (29.97) fps. QT 7 Pro must have forced the conversion to 960x540, which would be the only way a 30fps file would play on TV. Once I corrected the setting and exported again at 24fps, the QT 7 Pro conversion to 1280x720 worked as it should.
Glad you were able to settle that issue.
If you or anyone knows of a way to export from iMovie into a 1280x720, 24 fps format guaranteed to be compatible with TV1, please post instructions. Until then, I will have to keep using an intermediate export first and then Handbrake or QT 7 Pro to convert.
It's not really possible to guarantee that every file will be playable since the content actually drives the encoder and may require changes to user settings on occasions. However, having said that, I take it you did not try the "Export using QuickTime.../Movie to MPEG-4 Movie" Share menu option previously suggested. It will allow you to create an H.264/AAC 720p24 TV1 compatible MP4 file directly from iMovie. Here is a "quickie" file I exported from iMovie moments ago which plays on my TV1.

I need help with the videos

Yea for the videos, I want to put some Red vs Blue videos on there. And so dar the only way that I see how to put them on there is to buy quicktime 7 pro. Cause it says you have to export them into Itunes. Is there any other way to do it because when I try to update my ipod with the Red vs Blue videos on my library list. It says," Some of the videos in your iTunes library, including the video [video name here], were not copied to the iPod [name of your ipod here] because they cannot be played on this iPod" It confused me when I have the fifth generation iPod.

Voden,
A quick search would have answered your question, as it gets asked about a dozen times a day.
Anyway, the iPod only supports 2 codecs for video, MPEG4 and H.264. On top of that, it needs to conform to the pixel dimensions and bitrate that the iPod will support as well.
Since you're on Windows, you can use Videora iPod Convertor to convert the videos to the correct format.

Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

I need some help with my video - need to blur some footage.

Hi!
I was wondering if somebody could help me out with my video. I've got some video footage downloaded from the internet (with permission, of course) and I was wondering if there is any way I could blur the clip and then have it slowly fade into focus. I know how to blur the video (the Gaussian blur effect), but I basically want it to look like I've filmed the footage myself and I'm slowly turning the focus wheel until the image is in focus.
Obviously it's quite easy to do in-camera but for my film I needed footage of animals and wasn't able to film any of my own so I needed to source footage online. It's really imperative to my production that I get this blur thing working so if anyone can please explain to me the easiest way to do it then I would be extremely thankful! (That's if it is possible at all... I sure hope so)
I've searched online but so far I've only been able to find videos explaining how to blur a small section of the image (e.g. blurring out logos, faces, etc)
Thanks a lot

For what you want to do, the 'Camera Blur' effect (Windows only)
will work much better than Gaussian Blur.
Add the effect to the clip (or to an Adjustment Layer above to the clip),
then use keyframes to change the amount of blur over a specified
period of time.

Help with syncing video to my iPhone

ok, so heres the deal. i downloaded a few episodes of a show that were already in .mp4 and so i added them into itunes and they show up whenever you hit the movies tab on the left side of the screen but then whenever i went to add them to my telephone through the iphone sync part then they werent there. so then i went and uninstalled and redownloaded and then installed itunes. then, the videos showed up under video tab in the tv shows section on the iphone sync screen and then whenever i click them to sync them then it tells me that they are not in the right format. so then i used the itunes converter thing to convert the video and then it did its thing and the resulting video is a completely white screen with no video at all whatsoever. id really apreciate if someone could help me figure this out because im getting very frustrated with it lol.

bump.

Please I really need help with this video problem.

Hi!
Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
preloaderBar.visible = false;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
btHome.enabled = false;
var filme : String = "";
carregaFilme("home.swf");
function carregaFilme(filme : String ) :void
var reqMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filme);
loader.load(reqMovie);

          preloaderBar.visible = true;
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = 0;
function progresso(e:ProgressEvent):void
          var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
          preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
          preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = perc;
function completo(e:Event):void
          preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
          preloaderBar.visible = false;
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onHomeDown);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onHomeUp);

function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "sets.swf")
                      filme = "sets.swf";
                      carregaFilme("sets.swf");
function onHomeClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          if (filme != "home.swf")
                      filme = "home.swf";
                      carregaFilme("home.swf");
function onHomeDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y += 1;
function onHomeUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btHome.y -= 1;
function onSetsDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
          btSets.y += 1;
function onSetsUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void

Now this is the sets.fla file:
Here is the code for sets.fla

var ns:NetStream;
var t : Timer = new Timer(1000,0);

nc= new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);

ns.bufferTime = 1;
ns.client = meta;
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
ns.pause();
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
t.start();
function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
          trace(stat.info.code);
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
          trace(meta.duration);
function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
            ns.resume();
            t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
            t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank you

My first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:

Help with Quicktime. (very annoying problem)

Hello,
I am a newbie to this forum. I searched the forum and couldn't find the answer I was looking for so here is my question. When I try to open either iTunes or the Quicktime player I get a error message that reads "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." (it is one of those 'send error report' messages. Anyone who has windows has probably seen them before) Since it is happening with both Quicktime player and iTunes I can only assume that this is a problem with Quicktime. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling many times. Every time I try to uninstall Quicktime it tells me "a fatal error has occurred during installation" and never uninstalls. The only way I can uninstall is to just remove all the program files. Has anyone ever experienced this before? I need help.
Thank you.
P.S. Also when I try to just uninstall Quicktime buy hitting the "uninstall quicktime message" it starts to uninstall and then says "The installer encountered errors before the requested operations for quicktime could be completed."
Message was edited by: outa_luck

if you are having issues uninstalling quicktime on XP, follow this guide:
Open the Program Files folder.
Right-click the QuickTime folder and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion. Note: This folder may have already been deleted if QuickTime was successfully removed in steps 1-7.
Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
Restart your computer.
(from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925)
You may also want to use a registry cleaner to get rid of any quicktime references (or Use Regedit (ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING))
