IPhoto does not play movies from digital camera

When transfering photos and movies to iPhoto, the movies are not playing in iPhoto.
Error message:
THE MOVIE CAN'T BE OPEN. YOU MAY NEED TO INSTALL ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE TO PLAY THIS KIND OF FILE
I am using iPhoto '09 v8.1.2 and QuickTime Player 10.0 on Snow Leopard 10.6.3
I deleted QuickTime 7 Pro after upgrading to Snow Leopard.
My digital camera is a Pentax Optio S6 that creates movies in the MPEG-4 format. The ending of the movie file after transfer to the Mac is .avi
What Codec do I need? Or should I reinstall QuickTime 7 Pro?

Try install Perian

Iphoto does not import movies from my samsung nv24

...please help me, otherwise i have to buy a new camera....

This issue has been reported before and arises because of some anomaly between Samsung's non-standard way of using Time Code and Apple's over stringent adherence to standards.
Probably don't have to buy a new camera though. Just use something else to organise the movies.

Mat****a UJ841S CD/DVD drive does not read movies from blockbuster

My dvd mat****a drive UJ841S will read /write everything ok.
BUT it does not recognize Movies from Blockbuster. I cannot play a movie.
Can anyone help?
David

Hi
Seems this certain kind of DVD is not fully compatible with this CD/DVD drive
Sorry but such issues are not uncommon you will always meet some disks which are not fully compatible and that the drives laser lens cannot handle such disk
But just one question; are these movies created for the European region?
I mean there are different DVD regions
As far as I know the movies for European needs region 2
The United States need region 1 settings and South & Middle America need region 4
So if you would like to watch DVD designed for USA then you will have to change the region settings to 1.
But note; you can change the region settings only 4 times then this settings would be locked and it would be not possible to change it again

I bought a macbook pro on november 2011 wich had Lion OS installed on it. Playback plug-in in Mainstage 2.1.3 does not play files from the beginning (it leaves out like 50 mSecs or so). Is there a way to revert to Snow Leopard OS?

...Is there any way I can install a partition that runs snow leopard on my early 2011 MB pro with what I have (new SSD, New RAM, Current version Lion running, no external drive, lack of original snow leopard disks [I lost them ] and the general 10.6.3 snow leopard boot disks)...
As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

Iphoto '11 slideshow does not play music from iTunes

I cannot get iPhoto Slideshow to play music from iTunes. I read one suggestion to go to iTunes > File > Library > Organize Library > and select REORGANIZE library. When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
Any suggestions on what I can do?

When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
Then your iTunes library is already organized according to the latest format. See this document on the organisation of the iTunes Library :
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3847
Sometimes the database files inside your iTunes Library can get corrupted.
Try to rebuild the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" as described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25468
I'm not sure if "Consolidate" can help in this situation - it will move all songs into your iTunes Library, so that they can be easier found, but not recreate the datbase files.

Latest version of itunes does not support Quicktime can not play movie from library

Latest version of Itunes does not support Quicktime. I can not play movies out of my itunes. Please fix

I don't usually download video from the iTunes store. I had a couple of long plane rides coming up and thought I might have time to watch the Stanford IOS7 programming class. On the plane I discovered this issue which has gone unaddressed since 2011 and has been worsened in Mavericks. in 2011 the advice was to open iTunes' get info pane and click run in 32 bit. That worked at least for some people. In Mavericks, iTunes will not launch in 32 bit.
For the files you can locate in the finder ( mine are at
/Users/raine001/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/iTunes\ U/Developing\ iOS\ 7\ Apps\ for\ iPhone\ and\ iPad/1.\ Class\ Logistics\,\ Overview\ of\ iOS\,\ MVC\,\ Objective-C.mp4
) you can click on the file in the finder and it will launch in QuickTime. For some reason on the plane I could see the first lecture in the iTunes view but, although I could see all the other lectures in the finder, I could not see the first one.
Ah well, maybe some other year I'll think about getting up to speed on ios7. Heck, maybe by then they will design a decent user experience.

Quicktime 7.3.1 Player, Does not play movies locally on Vista.

Interesting and frustrating problem. My QT player plays movies from web browser but will not play them locally. Windows Vista Business, 32 bit OS, QT pro will play the first 5 to 9 seconds of a movie then hang the system. Then I can not shut down QT player, without Ctrl, Alt Del. Local .mov files I am trying to play are only 4 to 15 MB. Is this an issue with Vista? Or the latest QT player? Or is it the latest Direct X? Or is it the latest driver update for my video card ATI Fire GL V7200 - the latest catalyst control center SW? All drivers and SW have been recently updated to latest. I tried changing the Advanced Video settings in the QT player, "Safe Mode GDI only" vs Direct X settings? Nothing changes the fact that I just can NOT play any .mov movies locally. I'm calling Adobe tomorrow. Am I the only here with these problems?

+I was just wondering if perhaps the RAID was affecting it somehow? My system is setup to store all Files on a data partition with Raid 1 setup.+
Older versions of the Intel Matrix Storage Managers (and associated drivers) could cause similar issues in RAID setups. Seen a few of them fixed by upgrading them.
However, having taken a look at your dowwnloads page for the wx8400, it's not clear to me whether or not you've got an Intel Matrix on the PC.
... One thing that did come up was the following document:
HP xw4400, xw6400, xw8400 Workstations, and HP Proliant xw460c Blade Workstation - SYSTEM BIOS UPGRADE REQUIRED; Certain Intel Processors May Cause Unpredictable System Behavior
So it may be worth checking to see if your BIOS is up to date, first.
Here's a link through to the relevant xw8400 downloads page:
Download drivers and software: HP xw8400 Workstation (Vista 32-bit)
Was your BIOS at 2.18 or higher? If not, does an upgrade assist with the QuickTime behavior?
+Not sure what readyboost is?+
With regard to the readyboost matter, the discussion in the following document might be of some assistance:

Safari does not play movie stream

Does anyone have any idea why Safari does not play the movies on the web page
http://www.3sat.de/delta/
You can find them under "Web-TV" (you have to click a little bit until a small window opens which has a button called "video starten" at the bottom right).
I believe the movies are reaplayer video streams.
Needless to say that the movies work just fine in Firefox ...
Any ideas, hints, pointers will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Gabriel.

Hello Gabriel,
The video does play for me in a popup window via realplayer.
it also has the option to open in WMP.
Web TV
It will not play in realplayer itself, when i click for it to play in real Player this

Safari is also picky about code, this one is not the poorest & it does work for me so it seems something is interfering in your user account or computer,.
Have you tried the site in a test account if not that would be telling.
Let us know if it works there.

Question about Playing Videos from Digital Camera on iPod

I just got an iPod video and it won't let me put my video recordings from my digital camera on it. I got this camera about six months ago and it will play through Windows Media Player but will not on iTunes. What's weird is that my iTunes plays videos from my really old digital camera.
Does anyone know how I can play my videos?

I don't create videos myself but this might help you.

Quicktime player won't play movies from old camera

about a year ago I put some video clips into iphoto taken on my camera.
the info on them says
title P(some numers).MOV
format QuickTime Movie
it used to play when I clicked on them. Now nothing happens, quicktime starts but the player doesn't play it.
I get no error.
thanks
laura drew

Thanks. Apple certainly does not make that fact clear when they try to sell you Quicktime Pro. I'm having a real problem with their corporate ethics; I'm a very sorry owner of a Generation 5 iPod so I'm batting 1000!

Iphoto wont download my picts from digital camera

i have been trying to download my pics from my digital camera. I have never had any problems in the past. now it is saying cannot recognize the file, and they are jpg files. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have an USB card reader? Does your card mount to the desktop Can you import them using image capture (in your applications folder)? When did you last reformat your memory card using the camera?
Ok we have eliminated one of the four questions (probably) - what about the other three? How did image capture fail?
What camera? what version of iPhoto?

Iphoto would not import movies from Iphone 4 - ANYBODY ELSE HAS ISSUES?

Hello,
Yes Iphone 4 is so sexy.
I have reception issues too unfortunatly , only where reception is weak anyway, but yes it happens...
also iphoto would not import most of the times
the iphone 4 videos?
any suggestions why and how to fix it ?
Many thx
Anteros

I was encountering this on the developers' beta of iTunes 9.2 on a gigabyte-sized iPhone 4 movie. (I am in Developer Program.)
I just reinstalled with the standard iTunes download and was able to do a successful import directly from the phone.
Perhaps an iTunes reinstall can fix it for you as it did for me.

Mediaplayer does not play movie on XP, it does on Win7

I have a Mediaplayer object in a Fx 2.1 beta application.
It links to a MP4 movie and plays perfectly on my Win7 development laptop, but it fails to play ( white space ) on my target deployment XP machine.
The MP4 plays on the XP box in Media Player, so it is not a codec issue ( I think ).
Anyone ?

I tried to use a WebView with a HTML embedding a video, that does not work either. I guess the JavaFx Webbrowser does not support <Embed>If the video plays in the JavaFX MediaPlayer it will also play inside a WebView, just use the html5 video tag rather than an embed tag.
The following application will play a VP6 encoded FLV inside a WebView.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class WebViewVideo extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) { Application.launch(args); }
@Override public void start(Stage stage) {
    WebView root = new WebView();
    root.getEngine().loadContent(
      "<video width='320' height='240'controls='controls'>" +
        "<source src='http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/javafx/oow2010-2.flv'/>" +
      "</video>");
    stage.setScene(new Scene(root, 340, 260));
    stage.show();
}
