How to view Quicktime movie on iPad

Hi,
I have the most recent iPad Air. Yesterday I took a video with my iPhone 4S. I emailed it to myself and some others, straight from the photos app. They were able to open it up on their computers. My iPad won't play it. When I click on the attachment, it just displays a grey screen saying "Video.MOV QuickTime Movie."
I searched and others with this problem seemed to have an issue playing other formats like WMV. This is straight from an iPhone. So I can't imagine the iPad should need a third party app for this. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Try playing with free OPlayerHD Lite app.

How do you view quicktime movies from MAC to TV?

I'd like to view quicktime movies from my MacBook Pro to HDTV. What do I need to do?

Not every retailer carries mini-DP to HDMI adaptors, so you might want to call ahead. If you find one, make sure that it carries audio - some won't. You can certainly find them online. Apple normally stocks a Moshi version which supports audio, but they're back-ordered at the moment. If you have trouble finding them locally, try newegg.com.
Edit: meant to add, a newer option is to get an AppleTV v3 connected to your TV, connect it to your wireless network, and mirror your Macbook Pro to the AppleTV using Airplay Mirroring. May even not be much more expensive than the adaptor+cable option. Details here:

Viewing quicktime movies in Safari

What are the specifications for viewing quicktime movies in safari? I've tried several different sites, most without luck. One very useful site (http://mac.sillydog.org/qt/compare.php) has several different QT formats posted. I was surprised to find out that I could not view the H.264 format, but that I could view the MPEG-4 (basic) and MPEG-4 (Improved) formats (these are the last 2 examples on the page). Also, does anyone know if it is possible to view any streaming quicktime video from within Safari? TIA
-peter-

Update: No it is not possible to stream quicktime video to ipod touch or iPhone at this time. Only Audio streams are supported.
I don't know the exact specifications off hand, although I know for definate that Apple's trailer site now redirects you to a iPhone-friendly version when browsed from either iPod touch or iPhone.
Maybe you could look into what spec the videos are encoded there? - Hopefully you can, I'd also be able to upload video in ipod touch compatible format(s).

Viewing quicktime movies from iphoto 08

I just upgrade to Snow Leopard, I use to be able to view quicktime movies from Iphotos in Leopard, now if i click on the movie nothing happens, From Quicktime doesnt seem to want to open my library where the movies are located. These are small video max 30 secs from my digital camera?

If I upgrade to iphoto 09 will this problem go away?
No. Not if you don't install Quicktime 7 Player from the Snow Leopard install disk. You can do a custom install and select the Quicktime 7 Player as the only item to install. That should fix the issue.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Can't view quicktime movies in email anymore?

Before the 2.0 updates, I could easily view quicktime movies sent to me via email. Ever since the 2.0 update, it says it's not able to play the movie. Why is this? And what do I need to do to fix it?
Thank you.

Thank you Quicktime Kirk, That worked. I just have one other question. I dragged the plugin to my desktop as you directed, but should I now toss it? or, uh, what?
Thank you again,

How to view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto, on iPad 3

Slideshows I have in iPhoto on my mac-mini, do not show up in the iPhoto on my iPad 3 (Just Photos, Events & Albums).
How do I get the slideshows (Saved with music in Mac-iPhoto), to show in my iPad´s iPhoto?
Do I need another app for this?
By the way, the same applies to the iMovie on my iPad (Do I need to import the movies/Slideshows
from iPhoto (Mac) into iMovie (Mac) to be able to see them on my iPad?
All I want to do is view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto,
on my New iPad (In iPhoto or iMovie if possible).
Thanks in advance for any help
AMI

Thanks for the tip Demo!
Sadly it is so.
Don't know why Apple didn't include slideshows into the iPhoto for iPads!
Solved the problem with Phtosync & Sugarsync Apps.
Another super apps for transfering Movies/Slideshows to your iPod, is VLCstreamer.
You can even watch movies that are on your Mac or extension drives via WiFi , streamed to the iPad
without even having to upload them to the pad (Which you can do also !).

How to export quicktime movie?

I was wondering how I can export a quicktime movie (camcorder film) to a smaller size but that can also be played on both Mac and PC computers? I tryed to export a couple time using encoding such as MPEG-4 but the movie accually was much smaller to view than the original and the second time I tryed to encode it at a bigger size, the movie played at the same sze as the original but at a lower quality because it was stretched.
Can anyone help me with this. I just want to export and save a quicktime movie into a playble formate for both mac and windows and also not taking up too much disk space either. Thank you.

One could write a book (I did) that explains what all the codecs do and where and when to use them.
You need only need to know where the file will be viewed and its source format.
As Rick has pointed out, most new digital cameras capture in DV (Digital Video) and they are nearly instantly ready for software editing (like iMovie). QuickTime Pro can also edit the .dv files.
Once you determine where the file will be viewed (the Web for example) you'll get an understanding of methods to "compress" the file to fit the planned playback.
Three major factors that reduce the file size:
The new dimensions (720X480 DV files) to Web 320X240 (DV uses rectangular pixels).
Reduce the "frame rate". If the source was 30 frames per second you can usually remove half of them (15fps). Use more fps if the source has lots of motion.
The codecs used. Compressor-decompressor is handled by the delivery format (.mov or .mp4). Some are more efficient and offer better quality when enlarged during playback. MPEG-4 is the most modern and will soon become the next generation of DVD (currently MPEG-2).
This is where your question can only be answered by you. The quality can be adjusted (some codecs offer "sliders"; good better best while others allow you to set a data rate) and only you know what is acceptable.
Rick suggests a "one minute" export and I agree. Use various settings and data rates and use your eyes to decide what is acceptable.
Don't forget that part of your capture was audio. If your camera captures only mono formats making the export into stereo does nothing but double the size of the audio track. The Advanced Audio Codec (AAC) format found in MPEG-4 exports does a great job of reducing the file size. You can control these settings at export, too.

Cant view rental movie on ipad

I have an ipad 2 with OS 7.1.2. I have rented a couple of movies from itunes and cant seem to find them anywhere. When I look in "Videos" they are not there, I don't even see a category for movies or rentals. I have tried using the search feature, I've done a hard restart, I've logged out and back into iTunes. When I plug my ipad into my computer and look at the contents in iTunes there, I can see that the movies are there, but they are nowhere to be found when I look in the ipad itself.
I am leaving soon for an almost 2 day train trip, I'd really like to be able to watch the movies I paid for, someone please help!!
Thanks.

Hi itskris,
I understand you have rented a couple of movies from iTunes on the computer, the following information will help you sync those rentals to your iPad.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1390
Once the rental is downloaded, you can watch it on your computer or transfer the rental to a supported iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV (1st generation):
Connect the device and select it in iTunes.
Click the Movies button.
Select the movie, and then click Move.
After all movies have been moved, click Apply in the lower-right corner of iTunes.
You must be connected to the Internet to transfer a rented movie.
Another resource I would recommend reading over is the iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions.

Viewing Quicktime Movie?

Hello,
I'm working as a transcriber on a show that just switched its format to HD. They've given me the files on an external hd with firewire, and I'm supposed to type out the dialogue using InqScribe, which is basically Quicktime with a little notepad that lets you put in time stamps, as I understand it. (You guys probably know all of this stuff, but I just wanted to be safe.)
The files play the audio, but not the video. I read that I need some sort of proprietary codec from Final Cut Pro in order to view the files in Quicktime, so my supervisor provided me with a copy, but it requires 26.7GB to install, and I don't have nearly enough space available and can't easily make it. Is there any way I can extract just the codec I need without fully installing FCP or any other way I can get it?
Here's the file info in case that helps:
Kind: QuickTime Movie
Codecs: DVCPRO HD 1080i60, Integer (Little Endian), Timecode
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Google is failing me so far!

No it doesn't. FCS 2 requires 4gb for all the apps, less for FCP only. FCS2 has another 55gb of content (templates etc) for the various apps, but you don't need them.
Seeing as your quoted 27gb doesn't tally with this I'm assuming you're using an older version, but the apps themselves still shouldn't take up any more than 4gb, probably less to be honest.

How to burn Quicktime movie to CD

hello- i need help. instructions on how to burn a quicktime movie to a cd. i exported an iphoto slideshow to quicktime so that i can share with family. now, i have a .mov file but don't know how to burn it to cd. do i need quicktime pro to do this? i appreciate any help. thanks

If you just want to burn it to a CD (or do you want this CD to play in a DVD player?) all you have to do is insert a blank CD, Choose to let the Finder handle it, drag and drop the file on the CD then drag and drop the file on the Trash (the Trash icon will change to a burn icon).

HOW TO VIEW CONTENT FROM MY iPad ON APPLE TV

How do I view content from my iPad on the Apple TV. I have checked the trouble shooting list and attempted find access instructions in the guide.

You can do it wirelessly by AirPlay if you have one of those Apple TV. If your relatives or you don't have one, I suggest to buy a iPad AV Adapter or one of those composites one found here http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable
