HT3775 how can i get my videos to play on quicktime or itunes when it says it needs the necessary codecs?

i tried downloading my movies from my Sony HandyCam DCR-SX41 to my MAC OS X 10.7.4 and the message was that quicktime did not have the necessary codecs to open the movies...
what do i do about this??
thank you.

In what format are the files? You probably need iMovie '09 or MPEG Streamclip.

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • How can I get an album to play in order on Itunes?  The songs keep skipping all around to other albums that I did not want to listen to at that time?

    It sounds like you might have the shuffle button at the bottom left of the iTunes (the button with the squiggly lines).
    If that's not the case, then maybe you just need to sort your library by album by clicking the album tab at the top.
    Is your music in a playlist, or are you trying to play it from the entire library?

  • How can I get SD video to play fullscreen at 1080p resolution

    In iTunes on OSX, if I click the full screen button, iTunes will take over the monitor, but it does not scale the video to use the full resolution like Hulu or Netflix do for their fullscreen video.  Instead I get a 640x480 box in the middle of the screen with black bars on all four sides.  Is there an option that I can't find to make iTunes upconvert?

    If the Denon shows in airplay mirroring you can just turn on mirroring and get the sound.  Otherwise try System Preferences -> Sound -> Output and choose the Denon there. Any system sound will play through the airplay device.  I don't know why apple doesn't just give an airplay option from the menu bar sound icon to make this easier.... seems like they are pushing people to mirror

  • I use i-tunes for backing tracks with an acoustic band...how can I get a playlist to play one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?

    I use i-tunes for backing tracks. How can I set up a play list to play only one song at a time and not go to the next one until I manually select it?
    Thanks

    Uncheck all the songs in the playlist. iTunes will then play one song and stop.
    Regards.

  • How can I get flash videos to play

    When I bought this iPad I had no idea that I wouldn't be able to watch most of the videos I want to watch.  Is there any way to get flash without paying for a new web browser program?

    Can you name some apps that I have to buy?  I don't know where to start.
    "Puffin" comes to mind.  I think it's only a couple of dollars, but I can tell you that you won't be happy with the Flash video that runs through this browser.  Too much overhead or something. It stutters and freezes.
    Waste of time and money IMHO. 
    The "security" excuse is a bit thin.  Flash works great on my MBP and as far as I know, on all the the other Apple computers.  Jobs had decided that it will not be supported on the iPad, the iPhone, and the iTouch.
    Personally I could care less.

  • How can i get my self produced CD to register in iTunes when people rip it to their computers?

    Right now when someone imports it into their itunes, it comes up with some ridiculous name from their database, even though i've named the CD during the burning process... any help?? thanks!!

    Are we talking about a big production, professional CD here, or your one-off home burned CD that you're giving to a friend?
    Read: How iTunes remembers audio CDs - http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27785
    If we're talking major production here, read about how to submit CD information to Gracenote -- this isn't intended to be used for your once-off home CD.  If it is a home CD there isn't an easy way to get it to the other computers unless you transfer your CD database file to theirs (and wipe theirs out in the process).
    You may read about CDtext, but although iTunes can produce a CDtext, it cannot itself read it even if it can make it.

    How can i retrieve music, videos & films i have on my itunes from an old pc that no longer works?
    I'm going to see if Currys can remove all info from my hard drive and hopefully recover my itunes, but if this does not work is there another way to get them?

    The computer not working in no way means the drive is inaccessible.
    Place the drive in an external enclosure.
    Use the backup of the computer to restore the data to the new computer.

  • How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

    How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    Don't downgrade OS X without first erasing the drive. You cannot restore a Time Machine backup of Lion directly on top of a later version of OS X such as Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    When you "Restore from a Time Machine Backup.", the drive will be erased for you, but yes, won't hurt to:
    Boot into Recovery (hold ⌘R on boot)
    Utility->Disk Utility->Erase Macintosh HD, then Repair Macintosh HD
    Quit Disk Utility
    Then Select: Restore from a Time Machine Backup.
