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.

  • How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

    How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

    Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5  has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • HT1338 if I purchased the OS X Mountain Lion for my 27" IMac do I have to purchase another one for my MacBook Pro

    I purchased both 27" iMac and MacBook Pro on March 2012 wth Lion OS installed.  I just upgraded to the OS X Mountain Lion for my iMac and was wondering whether I have to pay again for the upgrade for my MBP?

    no you do not need to purchase it again.  You can install it on multiple macs you own.  Sign in to the app store with the apple id used to purchase ML on the mac(s) you wish to install it on.  Hold down the option key and click on the purchases tab and click "download" next to ML.

  • 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.

  • H.264 vs MPEG-4 and Quicktime Plug in vs the Quicktime Player.

    I am currently setting up a webpage that will have over 100 videos (30 minute videos)that will be in the quicktime format and ipod format. So I have a few questions about setting up this page and wanted to get someones experienced input on a few things.
    I'm setting up the videos with links as there are so many videos. When setting up the page, should I have the entire quicktime player download or just the plug in?
    Should I use the H.264 or Mpeg-4 compression setting. I realize that H.264 requires the Quicktime 7 download but I could put a link that sends them to this page, I'm just wondering what the best choice for compression would be.
    Do you know of any webpages that have videos that are available for the user to be able to click on the video link and watch the video in quicktime or to choose the ipod
    download? I wanted to see how this is set up on one page.

    100 videos on one page? I hope you have enough bandwidth to serve all of this data.
    I would use "poster" movies that target the QuickTime Player (not the plug-in). No data would download until a viewer clicks a "play" button (a simple image file save as a .mov file). An example of one of my files that uses a poster movie and targets the QuickTime Player. The escape key exits full screen mode.
    http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
    To set up a page that allows a download you could use a text based link to the same file. Just tell the viewers to right-click (Control-click on a Mac) and save the file from the pop-up menu.
    This save you bandwidth and makes creating the page fairly simple (even for 100 files).
    I would use MPEG-4 using MPEG-4 video codec instead of H.264 (broader base of possible viewers). I would encode the files at 480X360 dimensions and use the QuickTime playback "Presentation" option to play the files. Big "wow" factor as you can see from my example file.
    The page would look something like this:
    Name and description of the file as text.
    Poster movie (simple image that says Play) sized at 25X30.
    Text based link to the "download" version.
    Instructions right-click to save (text).
    You could make the page using a "three across" (like columns) so the viewer doesn't have to scroll down a long list. Even with 100 linked files the html code would be under 30KB's.

  • How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

    How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

    Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
    <pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
    1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
    2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
    3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
    4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
    You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
    If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

  • How do you extend the guest network on a time capsule to an apple express?

    I have a time capsule in my main house with a password protected guest network i set up an apple express in the guest house to extend the networks. Unfortunately the guest house / apple express is only amplifying the main house network. I would like my tenant to join the guest network from apple express. Is that possible?

    Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    I am updating my blog and want to put a rectangle picture into the pre-set frame. I need to stretch it horizontally but the entire frame (i.e., both sides and top/bottom) stretched instead. How do you extend the frame from one side but not the whole thing?

    In Inspector, select the Graphic Inspector. Choose, from the Fill options, Image Fill. Select the image from the dropdown and click Open. Now go back to Inspector and click on Scale to Fit. Choose from the options in the window. There are a number of them which should address your problem:
    With the Blog template, you will probably need to insert a text box over the stock placement frame and work with that instead.

  • Since loading the new update, my downloads only display one page after the Quicktime Player symbol is shown.

    I often access published papers from our university library. Since I updated Firefox, the QuickTime Player icon displays on my Mac, the papers load properly, but only the first page is displayed. If I copy the full URL from the Mozilla address line into another browser, the full article is loaded with that browser. Can you help, please. Firefox is my FAVORITE browser, but lately is causing me problems. Thank you.

    Totally agree with this post. I like my swr30 a lot less now. Some ideas of the updates are good, but the execution is poorly and unusable. How do you do a roll back as you mentioned?
