ITunes streaming Quicktime movies to Apple TV but without video

I have a bunch of videos I downloaded in AVI format and trimmed them using Quicktime and saved them as .mov file.
Trying to play those files using iTunes through my Apple TV results in a black screen (no video) - Apple TV plays audio only.
Why?
Both iTunes, MacOSX and Apple-TV are running the latest software versions as of end May 2011.

it's probably a codec issue. do you have Perian installed ?
anyway, i recommend you use this app to convert the files to mp4 rather than mov. if you have TV2, select the preset for it.

  • Quicktime Movies - The audio plays but the video is completely messed up

    Hi.
    I have QuickTime V7.2 and my OS is XP.
    All of a sudden QuickTime started playing back QuickTime movies with no video - there is just a lot of flickering green and purple - however the audio is there. Oddly, the files used to play fine. They were made on my PC as QuickTime movie files. The sound is there. (Additionally the files play ok in Realplayer.)
    I've searched techy support but can't find an answer. Any ideas what is wrong?
    I made the files on movie editing software called ULead, and as I said, they used to play fine.
    Thanks very much.
    Gary

    A very similar and, I suspect, related problem. I created .mov files on my Mac, they play fine on the Mac, the audio plays but flickering video on my PC. I suspect it has something to do with the codecs used. Anyone have an idea as to how to make them compatible?

  • Why itunes cannot play movies on its library but on quicktime?

    Hello to everyone.
    I have this issue with some .m4p and .m4v movies, which no matter if I change their extension file to .mov, itunes only shows me a black window and I can only see an image when I push forward but the movie never play.
    It's weird for me, because itunes save the movies on its library but it cant play them!
    The only way to watch them is with quicktime, so what can I do to watch them on itunes???
    Before I forgot, I can also watch them on my Apple Tv streaming them from itunes library too.
    Thaks in advance.

    Yesterday I had Apple phone support, they could partly solve the problem. At least I can use my Mac again to view movies but the problem of less resolution in itunes only is still there. My brother has the same macbook, same yosemity and same itunes. It works. Obviously it has to do with other SW on the Mac. Yesterday we removed Displaylink SW (i believe that was the name of the SW?) from my Mac. Perhaps it is not yet compatible with yosemity?

  • When I stream a movie via Apple TV from my iPad Air into my Samsung TV, I'm getting the "soap opera" effect. This only happens when I use Apple TV, not when I view a movie directly through a cable channel. Is there a way to eliminate this effect?

    I'm having the same problem.  It's not an issue with my TV, i've turned this feature off.  I've tried playing with the ATV display settings but nothing works.  When I stream netflix from my Samsung bluray player, I don't get the soap opera effect, but when I stream any video from the ATV, the soap opera effect is there.  I'm thinking it's a choice that Apple made, but I really wish it could be turned off.  Not a lot of people are searching for this, because it can be easy to overlook, but it's driving me nuts!

    They have to be in the correct format to play on AppleTv - what are the Quicktime video and audio formats of the files?

    I started downloading a rental movie on apple tv, but I live in a rural area with terrible Internet download speed...is there anyway to stop the download, and resume downloading, onto my iPad when I have access in an urban setting with high speed Internet?

    Yes, to be honest I was a little surprised myself. But it absolutely didn't connect when plugged into the test socket (I even tried to force a connection from the Home Hub manager but it wasn't having it). It is definitely the master socket. The only extension is a small piece of (engineer installed) phone cable to link the hub and the master socket (because the socket and mains power are unhelpfully on opposite walls of the hallway).
    I ran the Java download for Google anyway and it only took about an hour. The speedtester results are as follows:
     Download speed achieved during the test was - 109 Kbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-250 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :2560 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
     IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps
    I don't as a rule disconnect / reboot the hub; today it has been dropping off on its own, while several days ago I tried a few reboots just to try and get a connection.
    Additional info - my exchange is actually called Claypole Fenton (or vice versa). Whatever, my profile has probably been welded to 135k for days and days.
    Cheers
    Nick

    Hi cheryle36779349,
    The free trial that we offer is for Acrobat (we don't offer trials of the online services). So, the first thing you need to do is download Acrobat from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html. When you launch it the first time after installing it, you should be prompted to accept the end-user license agreement.
    Then, so convert PDF files to Word, choose File > Save as Other > Microsoft Word > Word Document.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara
