Hi there, new switcher! Why is Quicktime so c-h-o-p-p-y?

Its a streams right click save to QUICKTIME Movie from the web on a fast HD and plenty of free memory.
The duration is 3'29'44 and 2.56 GB in size (Sports game).
Its using flip4mac obviosly. DIVx won't open it, is there something else that would play it better? Can I use FCP to render for better results?
CODEC as follows:
Windows Media Audio 9 Standard, Windows Media Video 9 Standard
Perhaps there is a better program that will run this without being c-h-o-p-p-y?
It is like stuttering although the audio is fine. Have edited but not so much (new to FCP (wow, what a bang for the buck compared to the overpriced you know what)).
Help is appreciated sweeties!
Thanks.
I just want to watch it without it look so choppy! If I have to re-render I will.
The standard window size is 512x384, not quite up to speed on how to set up FCP to re-render for better streaming so if ya wanna help me there too, thanks!

It is possible that FCP was taking up processor time, though it's also possible that it's just the key frame spacing of the WMV that is making it more noticeable when some data is skipped.
Exporting it to DV would solve any skipping, but the file would become about 45 GB big. Also the Flip4Mac component is for playback, if you try to export a movie you'll see a messge over the video telling you that it's Flip4Mac that was used. You would need to pay for one of their products that allows exporting.
I think that if you have FCP, that means you also have QuickTime Pro. You could open the WMV in QuickTime Player and export it straight to DV. Or you could use another codec to save space. Try the Apple TV preset, that would give good results and would be about 1/8th the file size of the DV. It would take a long time to compress though.

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly it and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be pl

Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey.
example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive) the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
but that is very occasionally, most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed , I don't know how that effects qt.
qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)
I have gone to VLC and MPlayerX for direct playback for drones and cameras.

Why in QuickTime there is no option to disable launching it at startup?

It's VERY irritating. There should be, i use QuickTime not everyday, so it would be easier for me if i could disable launch at startup directly from QuickTime. I would do it by myself if i could get the source code. Perhaps it would take ten minutes to do it. Thanks.

There is amigo, Open QT control panel click on the Advanced tab and uncheck-Install QuickTime icon in system tray. Also Start>run>type in msconfig>click OK. Click on the Start-up tab and uncheck qttask.

When i take pictures with the new ipad why is there static

when i take a picture with the new ipad why does the picture have noise in it but when i look at pictures online the photos are perfect

Because both cameras have different resolutions. The camera on the back of your Ipad (3rd gen.) is 5 megapixels; while the camera in front (used mainly for Facetime, etc.) is only 0.3 megapixels. Hope this helps.

Why is Quicktime trying to change from .MP4 to .Mov?

Having spent months saving clients promotional files from .avi, .mov and may other formats into .MP4 why on earth is Quicktime on Mavericks trying to play tham back as .MOV especially as I charged them for my time in converting the files in the first place. I really dont want to reencode 500GB+ files... HELPPpppp!
Many thanks

There is a slow change for the QuickTime platform coming. Right now the new OS has a built-in library which tries to re-encode your older videos. They are no longer being actively supported by Apple, since the switch is on, with the 64-bit architecture and of course the mobile platforms (all the "iThings" out there..) to make all of the supported file codecs be as efficient as possible for the newer hardware.
The QuickTime PlayerX that comes with your system is trying to reformat - there is NO way to get around it as the instructions are nested down in the libraries for the application - in the QTKit.framework. It's an instruction-set that you can't get out unless you know how to program code. (I think it's in Objective C)
With that as a given, what is left to do is download and use the last available version of QuickTime Player 7 and get the codec packs you need - all of this is the 32-bit code and it's days ARE numbered so fair warning. Here is the quick list I've built as a workaround to keep your files unsullied.
Start with QT 7.6.6. - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
Get Perian, and install it. - http://perian.org
then VLC, - http://videolan.org
DivX - http://divx.com - and the
Flip4Mac package from Telestream - http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
This is what I've put into my system and so far I've gotten every file to run fine, even my oldest videos.
These are codecs you should see.
In System/Library/QuickTime
     AppleIntermediateCodec.component
     AppleMPEG2Codec.component* (*optional if you've bought it)
     DivX Decoder.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Export.component
     Flip4Mac WMV Import.component
In your Home/Library/QuickTime/
     AC3MovieImport.component
     Perian.component
For AC3 sound that is in most .mkv files, you need the A52Codec.component, here:https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/34821905/A52Codec.component.zip - unzip the file and put the component into the System/Library/Audio/Plug-ins/Components
Go back to your Perian settings and in the Audio Output button, set it to 'Multi Channel Sound' - Ignore the message Perian puts up and select it.
By doing a 'Get Info' on your files and where it says 'Open With' - default them to the QuickTime 7 program. Perian no longer will work with QuickTime Player so you must have QT 7.6.6 and set it so it is the default for all the filetypes you use.
It works perfectly with QT7. So far I've gotten ALL my old videos to play.
.avi, .mov (with the AC3 sound), .wmv, .flv, .mp4 and .m4v. all run fine as do all the older formats.
Good luck!
Deb.

CNA becomes very SLOW after adding new switch to cluster

Added a CAT-2970 to my cluster and now CNA is acting very slow, especially when I attempt managing the new switch. I am still below the 16 node cluster limit. I did initially find a CRC on the new switch trunk port int. and noticed that it came up as Dynamic Auto/ISL and the core was at Dynamic Desireable/ISL, so I hard set it to Dyn-desire to match... still very slow CNA.
The problem was not there before and after restarting the application, it appears to be fine... until I attempt to manage/view/reach the new switch - and then EVERYTHING in CNA goes slow again (hourglass of death) for some period of time.
Yet, telnet & ping to new switch is always fast, no problems at all. Strictly seems to be a CNA problem...
Ideas??
Thanks,
Al

Looking at the outline given by u,there may be several reasons for this slow access such as loose connection, improper trunking and so on.Ofcourse, CNA problem can also be one cause.But, if u r sure that it is a CNA problem, why not u try for a new version of CNA?First of all, which version of CNA r u using?is it CNA 1.0 or 2.0 version.If so, try installing or upgrading CNA3.0.
For detailed info on installing and upgrading to CNA3.0, the following URL will be useful.

Adding a new switch to the network....configuring internet access

Hey guys i need some help!
I am trying to set up my first switch. I am using the catalyst 2950 for learning on.
The network im on right now (the one with internet) has the following settings.
10.22.227.???
255.255.255.0
10.28.43.254
The one i am learning on i connect to it by going to 192.168.0.1 this will allow me into it using the Cisco Network Assistant.
I have a laptop on port 1 using Vlan1 and i have Desktop on port 24 with vlan 1 and i have a cable from our 10.22.227 network pluged into port 23
I am able to see the computers and i can share files on it. What i dont understand being a noob is why i dont have any internet on ether computer.
I have setup up port 23 as a switch.
It seams like to me i would have to give the switch a ip address a subnet mask a default gatway and a dns of the 10.22.227 network on port 23.
Can some one throw some light on the subject and point me in a good direction?

@de fl
If i go to a computer on the 10. network i can ping and go out and do everything i need to.
But if i try and ping with in the new switch (192) it does not work. I have added an ip address and a default gateway I have added a screen show on how our network is set up.
To me i think i need to add a ip address subnet mask and default gateway to the switch for the new switch to work.

I have exactly the same concern. It seems it would be a simple fix for Apple to allow users to turn off the camera (and even the mic) while keeping FaceTime open -- especially now that it turns out FaceTime must remain open in order to send and receive iPhone calls on a Mac.
I like to think this new functionality of FaceTime will be baked into a future release of Yosemite, as the current setup has that not-quite-finished feel of a work in progress. In the meantime, there's nothing like a little piece of Post-It stuck over the camera to keep the NSA from watching your face as you type a post to the Apple Support Communities.

New user - why won't some LANDSCAPE format pics open for editing?

Help!! Having just returned to the wonderful world of the Mac after years away on a PC, I'm struggling to edit my photos and successfully comprehend the links between the original jpeg files I'm downloading and the thumbnails onscreen.
I'm reasonably technical, a Photoshop user and don't understand why it is that I can't DOUBLE CLICK on a LANDSCAPE picture and edit it...
For some reason, I can't even edit my landscape photos in iPhoto (which I'm resorting to as in a hurry with a particular project)....
Is there some reason why LANDSCAPE pictures aren't appearing in iPhoto's EDIT window? It only display's portrait pictures - all the landscape pics are replaced with a grey window and an exclaimation mark '!'
The pictures are still there, just WON'T OPEN in edit mode in either iPhoto or Photoshop when I double click them (and yes, I have set the Preferences to default edit in Photoshop).
Can anyone help please?

The important thing to remember is that iPhoto is not just an image viewer. It's a Photo Organiser, that is a database, with a built-in image viewer, lightweight editing and version control. Hence, photos must be imported, it's not enough that they are simply dropped into a folder.
When you import and image into iPhoto, by default (tho you can change this) it is copied into the iPhoto Library Folder at Home/Pictures. The intention is that you will now use iPhoto for managing the files as well as displaying the pics. So once a pic is in iPhoto everything you need to do can be done via the iPhoto Window, including removing pics. In this (the default) scenario, once the photos have been imported to iPhoto you can discard your original files.
Once in iPhoto, anything you do is done on a copy of the File. You can always revert to the Original.
A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.
The thumbnail points to the most recent version of the pic, and if you want to reach the Original, use the Revert To Original command. This will remove the modified file. If you want to keep the Modified one, duplicate it, then use the Revert... command to create a new version.
The standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
However, there is no real reason to go into the iPhoto Library Folder. If you want to accessa file there are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Only you can decide if you should preservere. It's not that difficult, more a conceptual leap than a huge learning curve. Hopefully the above will help, and if it doesn't, by all means post again.

After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

hi Apfelwurm,
why do you say it's not normal.
it always switches itself on after i update. it just did again, this time for 7.1.2.. i t also will switch on after a restore.
i never use bluetooth and make sure it's not on for any other reason.
it's been noticed by others too.

One way ping through new switch

NetTechMike wrote:
If a ping works one way, then it is almost always the firewall on the end of the connection
PING isn't a one way traffic item. It is bi-directional.
The ICMP echo request goes out and the reply is what you see at the command prompt when you get a "reply received"
So, if PING really is replying with a proper response and not a "destination host unreachable" then there isn't a thing wrong on the routing side, it'll be the firewall.

Hello!A few days back we installed a new switch (HP 1620-24G JG913A) for a new office inside our building. The switch is connected to the same one in our server room. The computers inside the office are functioning perfectly as far as the users are concirned. They can use network printers, open helpdesk tickets, access the intranet, internet, etc.
However, even though everything was functioning well in the old office (the machines are the same ones), nothing going the other way can get through. They can't be pinged, Spiceworks doesn't recognize them (although they have agents installed), and, well, that's not nice.The two switches are configured identically, and googling for the solution hasn't turned up anything usable (for me). For now it's not a big issue, but I'd like to solve it, so that it wouldn't become a problem later.Any help...

I absolutly hate the new itunes, why change something good?!

I absolutely hate the new itunes, why change something good?! I have no time or need to get used to the new layout, it is NOT user friendly, things are in places where I'd not look for them. I even don't like the red icon. Please change it back.

Hhhmmm!
Not only have you not been polite enough to acknowledge or respond to my question, but now I'm really confused...

While you are correct that cover flow appears to have been dropped, you can still see the artwork in large form, by clicking on the thumbnail that you mention:
And if you hover the mouse over the picture, various options, such as the play controls and close picture will appear.

Why is quicktime slower when using multiple mdat atoms

Hi,
I've been trying to generate a mov file and I noticed that the more mdat atoms I put in my mov file the more the file takes time to load on QuickTime, iTunes.
Even worst, on the iPhone the file takes more than 3 minutes to load.
If there are too many mdat atoms quicktime even says that the file is invalid ( error -2004 or -2002, I don't remember exactly).
Why is quicktime/iTunes slower when using multiple mdat atoms ?
Thanks,

Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back
