IE8 doesn't play .mov files

i had downloaded few .mov files which are associated with an HTML page. I usued to open this HTML page in IE8 to view the .mov files in the browser itself when I was running windows vista. I have upgraded my system to windows 7. Now when I click on the .mov file in the web page, .mov files doesn't play within the browser, but it opens quick time player to play the movie. no issues with firefox (in vista & windows 7).
I have uninstalled & reinstalled quicktime 7.6.4. browser plugin is available in IE8 and enabled. still, no go.
your help would be much appreciated.

Do you still get the same problem if you upgrade to QuickTime 7.6.5, devajeet?

Bridge doesn't play movie files

I have Bridge CS5 set to play movie files when it encounters them but for some reason it has decided to stop doing so.

Thanks for the link but I have a slightly different problem.
I have now discovered that Bridge plays most .mov files but not those in a particular folder. Has anybody any idea why?
I can however play these particular files with Nero. It's just that one would prefer to have Bridge do it when one is working in Bridge. But, it has to be said (and I'm talking about hi def movie files here) Nero plays them smoothly without a hitch whereas Bridge playback is jerky. Why? Is Nero using a different codec and if so can one get Bridge to use the same one?

Quicktime not playing .mov files

i have a problem with quicktime. it doesn't play .mov files. if i try to play .mov files that are embedded in a .pdf file, a window opens but stays blank, although the progress bar moves. if i try to open the files in quicktime, there's no window, just the progress bar that moves. i run the latest version. i've already tried reinstalling - didn't help, uninstalling completely and installing - didn't help.
help?
many thanks!
diana

Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the *QuickTime Movie* box. This box will enable you to play .mov files.
Click the OK button.

Problems playing .mov files in QuickTime 7.2.0

Hey everyone!
I have a problem with my QuickTimePlayer.exe application. It will play all other movies just fine, except for .mov files. It will open them and play .mov files, the sound will be fine, but the video is extremely choppy.
I FINALLY got to play .mov files by uninstalling QuickTime 7.2.0 and installing the Vista Codec Package 4.4.8, which contains QuickTime Alternative. The only problem is that it doesn't come with QuickTimePlayer.exe, which is what I want my .mov files to open with.
After hours of installing, uninstalling, and re-installing codecs, I discovered that it wasn't a codec problem at all. It was the QuickTimePlayer.exe application that was the issue.
But what's weird is that the exact same version of QuickTime on another computer will run .mov files *WITH QUICKTIMEPLAYER.EXE!!* So there's something going on with some settings in my computer.
I can't seem to figure this out. Does anyone else know what the problem could be? Thanks in advance!
Brent

I've discovered the problem!! It was the latest release of the NVIDIA nForce drivers that were the issue.
For as to WHY this specifically affected the playback of .mov files, I can imagine how. It's weird how the one thing you least expect to be the problem actually IS the problem.
Anybody have any idea how it affects it?

Quicktime can´t play .mov files

Iphoto doesn´t recognize movies from iphone (.mov files)
When I attach my iphone to import movies I made with my iphone 4 into iphoto, Iphoto tell´s me it can´t read the format (.mov files).
Quicktime cannot play .mov files either. I reinstalles ILife´11, that didn´t help. Importing the files into imovie doesn´t work either, because imovie always crashes. I can´t drag and drop the movies from my iphone via iphoto to my desktop - does anyone know how to do that?
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Been to the Genius Bar, but they couldn´t help.

In case anyone has the same problem, this was my solution:
1. install Quicktime 7 from your old snow leopard CD, don´t download from the internet
2. then follow the instructions that Neutronjon gave in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3211124?start=0&tstart=0, if you have the same error message
I have had this problem for a year now, tried all sorts of things, and this finally worked!

Quicktime will not play .mov files since Lion installation

When using Quicktime 10.6, I am receiving the error message "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." when attempting to open .mov files. Prior to installing OS X Lion, there were no issues with playing .mov files.

I'm having the same problem. Using a clean install of Mac OS X (10.7) Lion and QuickTime 10.1.
If I go to finder:
I can click on Icon's Play arrow and the Movie will play in the icon.
I can click on the file icon and press the spacebar and the file will play in QuickLook.
If I doubleclick on the icon to open the file in QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.
If I right click on the icon and click open with... QuickTime, I get the "...file could not be opened. A required codec isn't available." message.

When I 1st used QT after upgrading to ML, I received a message saying that a codec was missing, and that accordingly QT could not play the files. Just now, after tinkering with VSL in vain, I re-launched QT, and opened what had been a '.mov'-file, only to find that it is now an '.mpg'-file. How that transformation occurred, I do not know, but the result is that QTwill play the file perfectly well.
I am back with QT, and many thanks to you all that have tried to help.

Can't play .mov file!!

hello,
i'm having some trouble playing .mov-files.. I can watch trailers on apple.com but when I have a mov-file on the pc, it opens with a flashy green screen and pressing play will only give my a static (mostly green) and no noise.. this goes also for iTunes, movies there i cannot open but i can watch them on my ipod..
anybody any ideas?
thanks

What codec is this HD file? If they shot and captured in the Sony XDCAM EX format, FCP 5.1.4 won't be able to see that. The XDCAM EX support comes only with FCP 6.0.3.

Creative MuVo N2000 doesn't play MP3 files anymore?! HE

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me out. Here's the problem.
My MuVo N200 player doesn't play mp3 files anymore.. there's only a strange noise comming from the player if i attempt to play mp3's...he only plays the wma files?! I gave my player to my flatmate so she could here music on her vacation to the US, and that's when the problem started. I never had this problem before, and i wonder if she acidently pushed a buttom she shouldn't. I can't figure out how to fix it. Anyone has a clue what has happend, or if the player is "lost" :-( ?! PS: The player is brand new.
Help is appriciated
Thx Lizzy ;-)Message Edited by lizzard on 08-23-2005 03:45 AM

Unfortunately, NONE of my friends use Windows anymore , even at work we use Linux for security reasons. So what am i supposed to do now... They have a link at Creative that makes you belei've that they support Linux and offer you the possibility to choose the operating system, in other words=Linux. When i told in a mail to Creative Norway that they offer Linux support at their download-site, they actualy had the nerve to tell me that they don't do that!! I told them to remove the choice if they don't offer it, and don't try to tell people that they are eighter blind or stupid, and i pasted the Link + added a Screenshot of the page into the mail!! I realy got upset. It is the last time i by something from Creative. My first player from Creative lasted exactly 2 weeks, after that he stopped working for one odd reason, so i paid a little more in order to get a better one in exchange, and that device didn't li've longer than month eighter?
Not exactly QUALITY we are talking about..aren't we?
What to do, what to do?
Anyone has a clue?

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere

I updated my computer and now I can't play mov files from anywhere - won't play in FCP 7, Quicktime. Not sure what updates they were specifically since i hit the "update All" button without going over each one. Please help!! operating on 10.6.8 with FCP7

Just take a look at the last few days posts here and you'll see many people with the same problem and some possible solutions.
But you should never do any software updates unless you have a bootable backup of your startup drive. FCP7 is no longer being supported by apple and updating anything is fraught with dangers.

Can't play .mov files in Xine

Hi
I am pretty new to Arch but it is great so far. I am running vanilla KDE4 with Xine as the Phonon backend. One problem I'm having is that I can't play .mov files. Other stuff like .wmv and .avi play ok. I also have the codecs package installed.
For example, no luck with this file
http://media.crossfit.com/cf-video/Cros … llUps1.mov
Thanks!

Welcome to the forums DeKay.
This isn't going to help, but I can confirm this using Xine 1.2 (dev) and almost a pure FFmpeg backend. ffplay and Mplayer can both play this file properly, so it's without a doubt a Xine problem. I ran a gdb trace on it and didn't really get anything to report upstream either.

How to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition

I've installed QT Pro, but am not able to play MOV files inside Windows Media Center Edition (MCE). Under "My Videos" from the MCE main interface, I can see the files, but once selected, error message indicates unknown/unplayable file type.
How do I get my MOV files to play inside Windows MCE??

I don't use MSI's MC application so I can't directly answer your question.
However both Win DVD 6 and PowerDVD6 play them just fine by launching the ts.ifo file.
Yes, I know that, but that means that I should use at least two applications. I need only one front end to launch all my media files, inluding ripped DVD files, not as separate VOBs but as whole movies decribed in IFO files.

No video but sound when playing .mov files

I'm trying to play .mov files on my computer and I get sound but no video. I've installed the latest verson of QT and no help.
The computer is an older MBP.
randalhillphoto

I should explain better. The mov files are exports from a 2-year-old MBP using FCP and exporting the files as self-contained movies. They were exported to use as an archive and saved on DVDs. Now I'm working on a 4 year-old MBP with FCE and trying to open the files with quicktime after downloading them from the DVD archives. I get the sound but no video. Please help me resolve this.
