HT3775 .m4v Files not working with Quicktime

Whenever I download something in either .mp4 or .m4v from the internet, I cannot open the file and view it. Quicktime always displays an error that says "The document ' *insert file name here*.m4v' could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized." Is there some process that I have to do to convert it to a different usable format?

Try using VLC. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html

How do i tell the finder to open all of my .m4v files to open with quicktim

How do i tell the finder to open all of my .m4v files to open with quicktime, not itunes. i tryed right clicking on it and choosing other and selecting quicktime then checking the box that says "always open with" but that only pertains to that one file not all of them.

Right click and choose "get info" then choose quicktime from the "open with" drop down menu.
Then below that you will see "Change all" click that and your done.

Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.

Internal Microphone not working with Quicktime and some other apps, yet it does for Skype.
Microphone works fine with Quictime on another mac, so I do know how to use it. The one where it is not working (A) had an external microphone and camera attached earlier, and indeed it does work with that external microphone, but not with the internal microphone selected; and (B) had RealPlayer installed previously.
Any suggestions, please?

Remote Not Working With QuickTime 7.3.0

Hi I just upgraded and realized my frontrow remote has stopped working with Quicktime. The remote works with VLC, iTunes etc but not QT. Forget about scanning forward or backward it cant even adjust the volume. I never had the problem before. I have tried playing both avi and mp4 files.
I run Tiger and have a macbook

As a follow up -
I spoke with Apple Support about this and was routed to a few people who were helpful, and moved it up to the engineers of Keynote (and the white remote?) for a solution.
A few days later I received this reply:
Hello Eric, I have heard back from the engineers about this. It looks like as long as Keynote 6.0 is present on the system it will default to using the remove in that application. If you remove Keynote 6.0, which we would not recommend, then you can use Keynote 5.3 with the remote. Presently though this is normal and expected behavior.
I replied by expressing my disappointment that this wasn't functional, since I'm not comfortable using Keynote 6.0 yet. Short of uninstalling 6.0, the only workaround I have found is to use the iPhone/iTouch Keynote remote app, or make a duplicate copy of your presentation to be opened in 6.0 (and using the remote there).

How do you burn a video file not compatible with quicktime?

Hello all,
I am very new at this so I apologize if the solution is very simple - i just can't seem to work this iDVD thing...
I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find exactly what I need, please point me in the right direction if a solution has already been posted elsewhere.
Okay, so my problem is trying to burn movies to DVD. I don't actually have to use iDVD, but it's the only solution i've come up with. My problem is when I add a movie file (lets say, something that will ONLY OPEN with VLC), and press preview, no movie files show up... but when i put in a video file that will play with quicktime, the preview works fine.
So i suspect the preview wont play because the file is not compatible with quicktime.
have any of you tried this? All i want is to be able to play a downloaded movie on the dvd player downstairs
regards,
Peter

iDvd is not a general burn utility. However, there's a very good chance (whatever that file is) that Toast will burn it to Dvd-R. And if not (which is unlikely) then do as suggested already and use Mpegstream Clip. It's 100% free! However Mpeg 2 playback component may run you a few bucks (if needed).
Or the alternative is to invest hundreds of dollars in Apple software and use apps like FCP and DVDSP (or FCS) along with QT Pro. Nine times out of ten this combination tends to work well ... but it ain't cheap (not to mention a rather steep learning curve).

FCP Quicktime movie files not working with iDVD

I have been using iDVD for years with no issues. Now, whenever I export a QT file from FCP 7 and use it in iDVD, I get a blank screen with audio and no video.
I am able to work around the problem by using "Export Using Qucktime Conversion" and creating a smaller file, but I've never had to do that before. What in the world am I missing here? Shouldn't I be able to export as a QT movie, as long as the file is not gigantic? (the most recent one I used and had this problem occur was only about 500mb). Thanks for any help...
Ben

Hmmm,
Well this is helpful information but unfortunately didn't solve my problem. The movie in question is only 5 1/2 minutes long. When I export it as a QT movie, iDVD "acts" like everything is fine; I can preview it within iDVD, etc.But when I burn the disc, it comes out blank. I then went back to FCP and exported it using QT conversion, and the DVD burned just fine. (I exclusively use Taiyo Yuden media and have never had a bad disc).
This is just a simple 16:9 movie, shot at 720/30p on a Canon DSLR. I ingested with Log and Transfer using ProRes422, then dropped it onto the timeline, added a music track, rendered, and exported as Quicktime movie. It looks great on my desktop using the QT player, but it simply will not work in iDVD. Still stuck here...

Does anyone have a solution to HDV 720p25 files not working with Lion?

I cant play or edit 720p25 HDV files with Lion, does anyone know how to fix this bug?

i've been having the exact same problems myself since Lion was released. I've been having to work with .m2t files and then converting them with MPEG StreamClip to Apple ProRes 422 native quicktime files in order to even use the stupid HDD. All of my existing .MOV files that were on the HDD prior to upgrade are now all "corrupt". Spoke with Apple reps and Focus reps and both of course are pointing fingers at each other.
Also, found that .m2t files aren't as high quality as shooting with .mov files on the DR-HD100... interesting huh? I mean i'm not in too much of a pickle due to the fact that the HDD is still useable it's just more time and steps before getting to edit in FCP now which is annoying considering the fact that I shelled out a lot of money for this HDD to be able to edit immediately...
APPLE PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!
I know it's Apple's fault because when i shoot in .mov files on the DR-HD100 and bring them in on my mac mini which is still OS X Snow Leopard, they work just fine... so it's definitely a Lion issue...
Also, found out that once the files have been dragged onto a HDD operating within OS X Lion, they become corrupt FOREVER and you can't reverse the process! They remain fine on the DR-HD100 but if you drag them onto a OS X Lion machine, then decide to transfer them to a OS X Snow Leopard device via USB, Network, or whatever, it won't matter because they have already been corrupted by Lion!

Reading the EDI X12 file not working with the patch 8233048

Hi
I have installed the latest path 8233048 on my windowsXP system, now I am not able to see the File being polled and processed.
In b2b.log I can see the last message as "oracle.tip.adapter.b2b.data.MsgListener:run start listening on message" after that no log.
In b2b_dc_transport.log, I can see only

2009.02.07 at 20:35:45:287: B2BStarter thread: (DEBUG) FileReceiver.init() completed.
Could you please tell me if I need to do any changes.
This is working on b2b with only patch: 5907304 which is installed in another windows XP system.
The same configuration with the latest patch is not working.
Edited by: Praveena Paruchuru on Mar 7, 2009 7:56 AM

Hi Dheeraj,
I have restarted my system many times, not only B2B.
I have taken the print out of both the tip.properties and compared line by line and wanted to check out which line was making it not to function.
I added the mismatching lines one by one by one, it was working for all teh updates. Finally I changed it to my new tip.properties.
Then surprisingly it is working.

.psd file not working with Motion 5

I have a .psd that doesn't want to work with Motion 5. Every time I try and import it, Motion says that it's not a valid codec. I can't figurt out what's going on, all my other .psd files seem to work.
Yes, I'm using RGB colors not CMYK (that is the onne known issue thus far).
I'm just totally at a lose. Here's what the console says, if anyone has any insight, I woudl appreciate it:

I'd be happy to email one of them to you if you'd like. Or give it to you in some fashion at any rate. I'm not seeing this problem pop up anywhere else on the internet, so I'm guessing it's just me. But it would be nice to check with another motion user.
Email me at jay <no space, just keeping the bots guessing> carr <at> gmail <I'm sure you can guess> com.
It certainly would be nice to see what happens when I give it to you. I'm having some very significant issues with PDFs and can't figure out why...

Empty Temporary Internet Files not working with IE9

Hey everyone. I have an issue in my domain environment where the "Empty Temporary Internet files folder when browser is closed" is enabled but not actually working for pc's that have IE9.
I have configured this policy in both Computer Config and User Config on separate occasions to see if it would work but it just doesn't for users IE9. My domain is still a Server 2003 domain and I manage group policy through the RSAT Tool Group Policy
Management on my machine. All machines in my environment are Windows 7 x64 with IE9 except for a few with IE11. The funny thing is the computers with IE11 (like myself) the GPO works great. The temporary files get
flushed whenever I close my browser. Unfortunately everyone with IE9 the settings say they are applied but they do not work. I was wondering if it had something to do with the inetres.admx files on my pc since I use IE11. Anyone have any
ideas why the policy would only work for IE11 browsers instead of all browsers?
The temporary IE folders are in the default locations and I noticed that the IE9 users can't navigate to the content.ie5 directory as well. When entering content.ie5 in path they can get to it and when clicking on the random directory's it prompts you
with a windows security warning.
Any help or guidance would be great. Thanks!

Hi,
Based on the decription, we can try to enable the following policy setting to see if it helps:
Computer configuration or User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Internet Explorer\Delete Browsing History\Allow deleting browsing history on exit
Regarding this point, the following thread can be referred to for more information.

Video Files Not Working in QuickTime

I'm trying to play an MPEG-4 file on QuickTime, but keep getting an error saying that the file has invalid data. Normally, I would think that the file is simply corrupt, but it plays on Windows Media Classic perfectly. Any suggestions?

Microsoft uses proprietary codecs and these file will not play in QuickTime Player.
Use WMP to view these MPEG-4 files.

"open file" Not working with Photoshop CS2

System
MAc Pro Dual Quad 3Ghz, OS X 10.5.2
I have a script that I wrote a while ago to take a series of individual bitmaps and compile them into a strip for access inanothe application. Script used to work well....
I tried to use the script today but ran into a brick wall when trying to open files from within the script.
below is an example of a script that will not work at all,
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
open file "AV:logo:rot0001.png"
end tell
I normally pass the function a variable for the filenames...but the above script should work fine.. but flatly refuses to !
Below is the Error returned.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 got an error: General Photoshop error occurred.
- The object “current document” is not currently available.
Arghhhh Help !!
Rgds
Chris

Hello
Perhaps your script used to work under pre-OSX10.5 (AppleScript 1.x) but now fails under OSX10.5 (AppleScript 2.x)?
If so, the most likely cause is the drastic change in internal text handling between them. In AS2.x, internal text is Unicode only, which might prevent PSCS2 from resolving 'file path_string' descriptor (when path_string is assumed to be plain 'string', not Unicode text).
Try the following code instead -
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
open ("AV:logo:rot0001.png" as alias)
end tell
Or -
set a to "AV:logo:rot0001.png" as alias
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
open a
end tell
Hope this may help,

Exe file not working with forced download script.

I have a captivate file that I exported as an exe file for
pc. It works fine when I download it from the server using the
direct URL to the file but I don;t want people to actually see
where it is located so I have a used a force-download php script.
When I download it by way of the script... it downloads, but the
file won't play. All I get is a DOS window pop up and then goes
away. Same file...any ideas?
The php file I'm using to force the download is below...
<?php
$filename = $_GET['file'];
// required for IE, otherwise Content-disposition is ignored
if(ini_get('zlib.output_compression'))
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'Off');
// addition by Jorg Weske
$file_extension =
strtolower(substr(strrchr($filename,"."),1));
if( $filename == "" )
echo "<html><title>Download
Error</title><body>ERROR: download file NOT SPECIFIED.
USE force-download.php?file=filepath</body></html>";
exit;
} elseif ( ! file_exists( $filename ) )
echo "<html><title>Download
Error</title><body>ERROR: File not found. USE
force-download.php?file=filepath</body></html>";
exit;
switch( $file_extension )
case "pdf": $ctype="application/pdf"; break;
case "exe": $ctype="application/octet-stream"; break;
case "zip": $ctype="application/x-compressed"; break;

case "gif": $ctype="image/gif"; break;
case "png": $ctype="image/png"; break;
case "jpeg":
case "jpg": $ctype="image/jpg"; break;
default: $ctype="application/force-download";
header("Pragma: public"); // required
header("Expires: 0");
header("Cache-Control: must-revalidate, post-check=0,

header("Cache-Control: private",false); // required for

Rajkumar Singh
header("Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\"".basename($filename)."\";" );
header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");
header("Content-Length: ".filesize($filename));
readfile("$filename");
exit();
?>

Actually...never mind. This script creates a HUGE security
risk....

Flash Player trust file not working with Embedded browser on linux

Hi,
I have an application which embeds a browser based on
Xulrunner inside it. I have couple of flash swf files I need to
load in the browser. The swf files talk with a javascript to change
the page title and also to change the URL when I am browsing
through the content in the URL. I need the URL change because I
need to remember where I was in the flash content so that I can go
directly to that place in the flash file when I open my browser the
next time.
To let the swf file do this I created a cfg file and placed
it into the Flash Player Trust folder( I tried both the local one
at /home/user/.macromedia/Flash_Player/#Security/FlasPlayerTrust
and global trust file location at /etc/adobe/FlashPlayerTrust ) ,
but I didn't get the expected result. I debugged into my app and
found that the swf never reset the Title of the page( which
indicates that the javascript was blocked) . It works fine from a
firefox browser but not from inside my embedded browser. My app
also works fine on windows and Mac . This is observed only on
Linux. Can any body think of what else I need to do get my
javascript embedded in the flash file working?
Thanks
jbsp72

I tried out a few more things since nobody on this forum was
responding. I tried installing another application which also
embeds xulrunner browser. So I downloaded Prism which is a simple
xulrunner based browser. The flash works fine with that and the URL
gets set appropriately. So is there any setting I need to do to get
it working. Or could somebody atleast point me to the right place
to ask this question? :(
