HT3775 how can i extend QuickTime to support additional codecs and components.

Hello everyone,
how can i extend QuickTime to support additional codecs, since i have a problem opening some video files that were shot by the laptop's camera.
Quicktime player says that the files are not recognized by the program and the program needs to extend its codecs
Thanks in advance

Yes, if you can find them. One such animal is Perian 1.2.3.

HT3775 how do you extend the QuickTime player play the videos I want to watch which have a different media format on a MacBook Pro?

I'm tying to watch a video which is on a website to help with my revision.
As I try to open it, it keeps coming up with a message saying the format the clip is in is something the QuickTime player doesn't understand!
How do I overcome this so that I can watch the clip?

Based on what you're saying I'm guessing you don't have the iDVD software. But fear not, there's an alternative to iDVD, called Burn and it's free. So downloadn and install Burn, first. Then from iMovie go to Share Menu > Export Movie... and choose Large size. Save the movie to the Desktop. You'll have a .m4v file that can then be burned to DVD using the Burn software.

HT1310 How do I extend the delay to support Bluetooth keyboard use?

When using the startup manager (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1310) and a BT keyboard, the keyboard never associates fast enough to catch the Option key (if it makes a difference, I run my mac with full disk encryption). How can I extend the window of opportunity for the option key?

I should probably be a bit more clear
When the machine boots, and I hold down the option key, it will fail - straight to the full disk encryption password dialogue box. If at this point I restart the Mac, the option key will work the second time and allow me to select e.g. my Boot Camp Windows partition.
My theory is that both of these events occur somewhere before OS X is loaded, and that the BlueTooth keyboard and mouse are visible by the smart boot / openboot system. Some of this must be true because I can use the keyboard and mouse within the smart boot menu to select which boot option to use.
What seems to be happening is that the BlueTooth pairing event is taking longer than the 2 nanoseconds that the system waits for keyboard input before trying to load the default operating system.
What I'm trying to work out is whether the boot can be delayed in some way to allow for the BlueTooth pairing to occur at the boot menu level and the option key to be pressed. We know that this does occur the second time around, so it's simply a matter of time, and would make the whole boot system that much less painful.
In the meantime, I'm going to much around with something called Boot Champ, which seems a bit of a hack but hey, if it works, right?

HT3775 how do you extend quicktime to open avi files?

I can't open AVI files, says I'm missing a codec. Using a Macbood Pro with Retina display. Are the files just corrupt?

No; there isn't a codec installed to play those specific AVIs, and the required codec may not exist for Mac OS X. Opening them in the free MPEG Streamclip may reveal exactly what is needed.

Quicktime Pro and Indeo Codec 5?

I have a Casio Exilim camera and my .avi movie files do not play on QuickTime 7 on my Mac OS X. I have sound but no video output. I tried downloading a variety of players/codecs and converting the files to other video file types (.mov, mpeg) but the files ended up only playing successfully on the VLC media player. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to upload my movie files to iMovie - no video, only sound -(which is frustrating because one of my main reasons for getting a mac was for its video editing capabilities). I read that the codec that supports Casio .avi files is an old one called Indeo 5. I also read that Quicktime Pro supports this codec but not for Mac OS X.
Can anyone confirm whether or not Quicktime Pro supports Indeo 5 on a Mac OS X before I drop $30 for it?

I read that the codec that supports Casio .avi files is an old one called Indeo 5. I also read that Quicktime Pro supports this codec but not for Mac OS X.I don't see it listed on the Official Support Page for QT Pro. Some Indeos may been ported for use with OS 9, but I don't believe any were for OS X.

How do I loop a QuickTime sequence 7 times?

How do I loop a QuickTime sequence 7 times? Am using QT Pro. Thanks

A simple, inelegant approach: In QT Pro, copy the movie and paste it six times to extend the track. Resave.
Another approach (if you have Snow Leopard or above): Automator's Play Movies action has a looping option, though it uses QT 10 rather than QT 7 for playback and the playback isn't as seamless as the first method.

I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player. How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player?

I have quicktime player 10 installed on my mac and it is considered the (default) player. How can I get my Quicktime 7 Pro as my default player? When I downloaded video from my phone, I couldn't hear the sound because Quicktime player 10 automatically opened the file and there was no sound, When I opened the file in quicktime 7 Pro, the audio was fine. I would prefer to have all movie files open automatically using my Pro version. Any suggestions? When I trashed the QT player 10 and clicked on the .3g2 movie file, it didn't automatically open with QT 7 Pro. Instead a window opened wanting to convert the file to Flash. I don't want that to happen.

Try This...
Highlight the file you want Quicktime 7 Pro to open -
Goto File > Get Info or (CMD I)
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select the player you want to open the music file.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to
"Use this application to open all documents like this.”

How do i extend airplay to stream music at the same time to AEX and ATV2

I have a new ATV2 and an AEX, my macbook, 2 Ipod touches and an Ipad2.
I figured out how to setup my ATV2 and airplay through my macbook and my touches. My ATV2 is in my living room on a Yamaha 6.1 receiver with 2 channels. I have 6 speakers in my living room on channel A and a speaker in my bathroom on channel B.
So....I decided to grab an extra Bose speaker and bring it to my foyer/kitchen and hook it up to my AEX since i cant hear the music too well when im cooking or in my office from the speakers in the living room.
I setup the AEX to connect direct to the speaker. When Im on Itunes (either mac book or touch) i only get two options to airplay, AEX or ATV2.
My question: How do I extend airplay to stream music on BOTH AEX and ATV2 with the same music at the same time?
Please and thank you!

As you are already aware both the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) and ATV2 are AirPlay "speakers." When both devices are properly connected to your home's wireless or wired network, both should show up in iTunes as in your case. Also the iTunes AirPlay speaker selector should provide you with an option to choose multiple speakers. As a minimum, you should see: Computer, the AXn, the ATV2, and the Multiple Speakers options. Is this not the case?

How do i extend the bandwidth of my system

The control problem I am having is extending the bandwidth of a force control system. The system is used to apply mechanical load to bone to facilitate research into Osteoporosis. The following concisely describes the system and the different things I have tried to solve the problem,. I imagine it is quite lengthy compared to the usual questions but any advice you have to offer to a Mechanical engineer would be much appreciated.
System Description:
I am using Labview (with Flex motion) to program the NI 7344 motion control servo board (PID update rate of 62.4 micro-seconds). This output signal is then amplified by the MID 7654 power amplifier, supplying current to a Voice coil (this can be considered as a Linear DC motor with a bandwidth of 40Hz). This applies the force to a bone sample. Feedback is then provided by a load cell and connected to the ADC feedback channel of the servo board. (For full specs of all mentioned components please refer to the web links which are listed at the end of this email!)
Problem description:
After optimally tuning the PID characteristics and defining the amplitude and pre-load, I can successfully control a continuous, sinusoidally varying force (frequency 1Hz), however when I try to increase the frequency to 10Hz, the amplitude of the output waveform is marginally reduced�i.e. there is attenuation. I know that the bone sample is not viscoelastic enough to act as a low pass filter. The bandwidth of the Voice coil is not a limiting factor either, so�..
How do I extend the bandwidth of this system?
The following Paragraph describes some of the things I have tried, which have had some or no influence. Being a mechanical engineer I would be grateful for any expert advice.
(Note all results have been verified with an oscilloscope where applicable)
Influential Factors:
1) Method of programming.
To generate the wave form a series of points describing one period are written to a circular buffer on the servo board. The points are executed in 10 milli-second intervals and are splined through using a cubic spline algorithm (hence a period described by 100 points gives us a frequency of 1Hz and a 10 point wave gives us 10Hz). All this happens on the servo board in real time. I am confident that although the integrity of the sine wave is reduced at 10 Hz the amplitude is still described within the 10 points and so is not the reason for attenuation. However this does limit the maximum frequency achievable. (I would say the max frequency is about 20Hz)
2) Redefining the resolution of the of the ADC Feedback
The 12 bit ADC feedback channel is scanned at a rate of 50 micro seconds (faster than the loop update rate which is 62.4 micro-seconds). Initially the voltage range was specified at -/+ 10 V giving 20/(2^12) Volts per significant bit, however I noticed that when I increased the resolution to the max possible by changing the range to 0-5 V (giving 5/(2^12) volts per significant bit), the amount of attenuation was reduced, however there was still some attenuation there. This begs another question why would this factor improve the frequency response???
3) PID characteristics
The system gives an optimum step response when using only a pure integral term and setting Kp= 0, Kd= 0. It seems as though the fastest step response is limited to about 6 milli-seconds. The system is fine tuned and any slight increase in the integral term results in immediate instability. Therefore there is no scope to improve the system bandwidth by altering the PID characteristics.
Can you offer me any expert advice?
Considering this information, what would you advise? Do I need a board with a faster loop update rate ?, I have considered using Labview Real Time, which offers a board with a 26 KHz update rate as apposed to the 16Hz (62.4 micro-seconds) provided by the current board). Do I need to use different control algorithms as apposed to PID, if so which ones???
Any help or advice you have to offer would be much appreciated and could help in the battle against osteoporosis. Should you require more information or would like to speak to me send me an email and I can answer any further questions or give you a ring.

Hi Duncan,
i'm sorry that this answer took this long, but i think a constructive answer which takes a long time is better than a useless answer in a short time....
For the following thought-provoking impulses we have to consider the signal-change when increasing the frequency. The points which describe the signal get streched over the period. Increasing the frequency enlarges the distance between the points.
a) The spline algorithm could be the problem here hence the signal does not correctly pass through the points anymore with increased frequency. Therefor the amplitude decreases with increased frequency. Perharps another kind of spline algorithm can be helpful.
b) Another point can be the control deviation. Since a feedback control system needs a devia
tion for the control, the deviation gets larger when increasing the frequency of the controlled loop. Maybe the control loop has to set the desired value when already getting to a new point. So the signal could get "washy" and the maximum amplitude is reduced.
In this case, the "Velocity Feedforward"-parameter could be of use. This parameter is to use with caution for it can have similar effects like a too high chosen integral term.
c) You can try to set the 7344 to circular contour. Therefor use 2 axis where you use the second axis as dummy (open step). There is a major disadvantage in this setup: since you use 2 axes at the same time, the 7344 can update each axis only with 125 microseconds. But perharps this is sufficient. Either way the parameter of the control loop have to be adapted (integral term reduced).
d) If the 125 microseconds describend in c) is insufficient, you can try to test it with a 7352. The 7352 can handle 2 axis at a time with a update rate of 62.5 microse
conds for each axis.
I hope this answer helps you in solving your rather special issue.

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
I have several movies from 2008 that are labeled as .mov but I now get a QuickTime error saying "The document "XXXXXX" could not be opened. A required Codec isn't available."
These movies ran in QuickTime just fine until about a month ago.
All the folders in which these movies were stored in 4 folders in 2 folders in one folder. All folders at each level were encrypted with Stuffit Deluxe a version circa 2008 and decrypted with a newer Stuffit Deluxe 10.x. Other movies that are NOT .mov and in with the .mov movies still run.
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
How can I fix this?
TOP image is the Error message.
BOTTOM image is the Thumbnail Preview info.
I've checked out "Tell Me More" and have not found a solution.

How Can I Fix A QuickTime Codec Error?
The basic work flow is to determine which codecs were used to create the non-playing file and then check to see if these formats are supported by your current system codec component configuration.
If the files will open in one of the QT player app, the open the inspector window to see which codecs were used to create the original file as seen here...
or here in the "Format" entry...
Or, if you have QT 7 keyed for "Pro" use, you can open the "Properties" window to gain even more information as demonstrated here...
if you file will not open in either of the QT Player apps, then you can try opening the Finder "Get Info" window for the file,
use a third-party media player that will open the file, or
use a dedicated media information utility to learn this information....
Once you know what codecs were used to create the file, post back with this information so we can deterine if the file should be natively supported by your Mac OS X install, requires an Apple Pro editing codec normally installed by the editor app, or requires a third-party codec which the user must supply.

Your information does not indicate whether or not the files actually played on the current system or were transferred from a different system which was properly configured for playbac, whether or not you recently upgraded your operating system/modified your codec component configuration by adding or deleting any codecs, whether your compound "Stuffing" of the files created corruption, etc.
As to MOV files the selves, this extension just implies the data was placed in the QT generic file container and the actually data could be of any compression format thathat was compatible with the codec component configuration for the system on which the files were created and could include natively supported system codecs, pro editing codecs, and/or third-party proprietary or hybrid codecs. (I.e., this is why we may need more information regarding the individual non-playing files.)
If I click on the Thumbnail Preview "It" runs.
f you are referring to QuickLook (QL) then the technology is different than QuickTime (QT). In the former case, the system is playing representative data but not actually opening the file as QT does. Thus, there is always the possibility that the problem is in the file structure (atom) information. For instance, suppose someone merely changed the MOV file extension in the Finder rather than actually copying data to a real MOV file container. Then it is possible that the QT player app may be searching for a codec that is not supposed or expected to be supported in the MOV file container and, not finding it, issues the erroneous codec error message—especially since you did not inticate the source of the file you are trying to play or, in some cases, which QT player is now not playing the file.
In short, there are several possibilities here and not enough specific information.

My Quicktime will not open, and therefore when I try to play a video I get a message saying I need to download Quicktime, but I cannot do that as when I try, I get a message saying I already have it. How do I un-install Quicktime so I can re-install it?

I am having issues with Quicktime. It would not open, so I tried to "delete" it and re-intall. When I did that, it would not let me install it and I got a message saying it could not install because I already had it.
So, I guess what I need to know is how do I un-install Quicktime (even though the icon is gone) and then re-install it.
Thanks!

Yes I had that problem this week. Did search in finder and dragged all files to trash,including any attempted down loads of updated quicktime, emptied, restarted and then down loaded latest version and all ok.
