Iweb podcast (quicktime movie) doesn't show for pcs

Can somebody please tell me how I can make my website have videos that windows people can see? I exported a movie from imove using the web setting...then dragged it into the correct spot in my iweb. On the mac, it is a bit slow (have hi speed cable and it is 5.1mb file) but doable it appears. On my pc however, it plays the sound, but no picture. (side note, I posted a .mov on my idisk for people to share, and the pc said, nope sorry, need some more stuff from quicktime that isn't offered for me to play)
the site is www.danhproductions.com
go to the journal, archive, then scroll way down to the bottom where it says "test" click on that, and it will link you to the movie podcast section where the only one posted so far is the "nun"
Thank you guys for all your help, past, present, and future.

Hi Dan...
Without checking your site, my guess is that your QT video is encoded with the latest and greatest video codec H.264. This is now the "default" on most applications from Apple. This codec is great, but it does require QuickTime 7 in order to decode. Your PC users either don't have QuickTime installed at all or they have an older version and need to update (it's free!) to QuickTime 7.
Your other options include re-encoding your video using a more mundane MPEG-4 video codec (compatible with earlier QT versions) or going to a more platform agnostic format such as Flash video.
In iMovie, when you do the export, check under the custom or advanced settings and you should be able to change the codec to MPEG-4.

iTunes 11 picked up on my entire extensive movie, tv show and music collection flawlessly, but importing a new movie into iTunes 11, it shows up in the list view, in the get info window the assigned artwork shows up, but the movie doesn't show up in the non-list (with artwork) view.
The media collection is on an external drive. And on my older Snow Leopard machine, the newly imported movie also shows up (with artwork) as it should.
Just not in iTunes 11 non-list )main movie) view.
Any ideas on this?
Cheers!

Wait - I meant to say that on the older machine the newly imported move shows up correctly using Front Row, not in iTunes.
Besides, i just noticed that my my hardware profile is not up to date - I am referring to an iMac running MountainLion 10.8.2

IWeb and Quicktime Movie Upload 2013

Three or so years ago, I made a website using iWeb (the last version Apple produced; i.e. the current version), and I included some videos. The videos were from a digital (tape) video camera, edited with iMovie HD, and were old-format 640x480. I managed to work out how to set the movies to start quickly (before fully loading) using iMovie and QuickTime. I dropped the movie into a regular iWeb page, resized it, put the settings up with the iWeb inspector, and all was well. The movies played (and still play) on Safari and Firefox, on my Macs and on an Asus Windows machine I have. (They won't play on my iPad - if anyone can tell me why, I'd be grateful; I'll probably put the original DV through a more recent version of iMovie and QT, and upload again.)
I want to make another similar website. However, my camera is now a HD tape model, and I have made my peace with iMovie '11 and worked out how to use it. My machine is the latest Mac Mini, and so QT is the latest also. I run Mountain Lion.
I made a movie with iMovie '11, and exported a quality version. I opened it in QT and chose 'Export for Web' and selected the option which gives me three different sizes. After some struggles, I worked out how to put this into my uploaded iWeb (test) site (although I have to say that the instructions Apple's QT gives are not the clearest), and it works, even on my iPad.
My questions concern the code which QT says you should upload. The code in the <body>, I understand, and it's obviously necessary to play the movie.
But about the <head> tag QT says:
Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
Here's the code QT says to paste into the <head>
<script src="scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
However, the movie playback still seems to work without uploading the code for the <head> of the page. And there is NO <style> tag, and why only the FIRST <script> tag?
The <head> on the page iWeb produces for my test page already has a lot of code:
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.4" />
    <meta name="iWeb-Build" content="local-build-20130116" />
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=950" />
    <title>Ed's Video Test</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,print" href="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.css" />
    
    
    <style type="text/css">
/*<![CDATA[*/
    @import "Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.css";
/*]]>*/
</style>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebImage.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebMediaGrid.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.js"></script>
</head>
Questions:
1. Should I put the QT code in the <head> tag anyway, even though it seems to work without it?
2. If I don't put it in, does that mean the choice between the three movies doesn't take place? I don't have a smartphone, but the playback on my 27" screen, my Asus netbook, and on my iPad all look fine without the head code.
3. If I do put it in, where exactly do I put it, and do I need to replace any of the code that is already there?
4. The original iWeb drag and drop method still seems to work fine with movies direct from iMovie (and plays even on my iPad), but obviously you can only put one version of the movie on a page. Is there still a good reason for using the multi-size version which involves manually uploading the movie and opening the page after uploading and inserting code for every movie? For example, I have a very fast internet connection. Maybe it's kind to those with a slower connection to put up the smaller movies also?
And, since I'm here, I have a couple of slightly related questions:
5. I designed my site (it's non-commercial, just a trip report, but with a lot of pages) to not need any scrolling even on quite a small desktop screen (you click on from page to page like a book, but you can also navigate around sections more easily this way; anyway that's how I like it). But on the iPad, held horizontally, the width is resized to take up the full width of the sceen, so you then need to scroll down. It's really annoying me. Is there some code I could put in to tell the iPad not to do this (there are plenty fewer vertical pixels on my website's pages than on the iPad screen)? (I don't care about phones, because the site is photo-based so looking at it on a phone is pointless in my opinion. And netbooks with only 768 vertical pixels are not particularly important to me either, but the iPad screen is plenty big enough for the site to work the way I want it to.)
6. And I want to include slideshows of photos without using the iWeb/iPhoto system (which brings up an external window in a different colour). I want the user to be able to see the thumbnails, to start and stop an on-page slideshow, and for me to be able to put captions (descriptions) with the slides. There seem to be a lot of options, and I still haven't finished looking at all the ones I got from the web. But does anyone have a good recommendation - paid or free?
Thanks for reading this long thread, and for any advice.

See the second method described on this page for how to add the code to an HTML Snippet...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
The prefered method of playing movies on websites is to use an HTML5 player with flash fallback for older browsers. Using this method, you can get away with only one video file - an MP4.
In this section of iWeb for Musicians you can see examples of several different types of flash fallback players...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Poster-Movie.html
The latest version of flowplayer has all the features that I want in a player and allows several movies on a page by loading only the poster image. It has the added advantage of turning off one player when another is selected...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Flow-Player-5-2.html
iWeb uses a fixed width page so it is not possible to use it to create a page that will respond to different browser widths. You need to create a version of your site to suit each type of device or use a responsive design like this...

Podcast feed image doesn't show up

Hi,
I have two separate podcast image issues here:
1. I can't get the feed image of a new podcast to show up at all. The podcast has been showing up for a while now. How long does it take for the feed image to show up? Is there no maximum size for feed images now? There used to be, but I don't see a size limit anymore, only a suggestion that the image should be square, which this one is. Here is the .rss feed in question:
http://christiantelevisionbroadcasting.com/rss/crosstalk.rss
2. I have a podcast that's been listed here on iTunes since 2005, when iTunes first started listing podcasts. I noticed recently that this podcast no longer shows up in the featured podcasts, even though it's popular, and certainly one of the oldest continuing podcasts on iTunes. The podcast (Axis Coffee House) shows up near the top of the list when you search the podcasts for "praise" or "Texas Baptist" and then sort by popularity. If you click on "see all" to look at the list of image icons, the Axis podcast doesn't show up at all anymore. I suspect there may be something wrong with the feed image which prevents it from showing up in the graphical listing? Here is the .rss feed in question:
http://www.ReluctantRadio.org/axis.rss
Thanks for your help... (smile)
Scott

sadly, we podcast creators have no way of controlling what is a featured podcast. This is something that the iTunes staff picks and chooses...here's a snippet from the spec:
"Getting Featured on the iTunes Home Page
At iTunes, we’re constantly on the lookout for podcasts that are breaking new ground with this medium, have new or unusual content, or just capture our interest. When we find them, we like to feature them on the Podcasts home page. While there are no sure-fire ways to get your podcast featured (and no, we do not accept payments for promotion), there are some minimum requirements."
The popularity meter in iTunes for podcasts is pretty useless and is in not really reflective of how popular your feed really is. It's merely a gauge as to how frequently people have subscribed to the feed with itunes. It doesn't take into account people that have subscribed via direct link, manually subscribed, or subscribed using other feed readers/podcatchers.
Feed validator is still coughing up some errors. You missing GUID's for your items as well. The GUID can be anything as long as it's unique throughout the xml. Often times just using the same url as the enclosure does the trick.
The iTunes podcast directory is also very clunky and has quite a lot of holes...some feeds are listed in categories they don't belong in, some are listed when searching but not browsing, all sorts of strange behavior. So there may not be anything wrong with your feed that is causing it not to show up....just a clunky database.

Itunes movie doesn't show up on Apple TV

My movie shows up on itunes on my computer. I can play it and send it to view on Apple TV but it doesn't show up on Apple TV's menu and all the other movies on my iTunes do. Any thoughts? (I have checked different lists on Apple tv).

Do you have an iCloud account? Sometimes they end up there.

Quicktime movies don't show in browser

Was having trouble with quicktime movies playing in Safari and Firefox. Each time I got the broken Q, I would restart the computer and it would work for a while. Upgraded to OS X(10.5) in hopes that might help. It didn't. No matter what I do no Quicktime in browser or a places like myspace. Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Redownloading of movies is only available in the US at this time, even then not all movie studios are allowing their content to be redownloaded.

Movie Art not showing for synced movies, only for streamed ones

Movie art is shown correctly in iTunes and while streaming, but not on the movies synced (these show poster frame). The only 'movies' that show correctly their movie art in iTunes, streaming and synced are TV Shows, which has lead me to think that the size of the .m4v has something to do. I have to do tests to determine the posible size limit, but for now all the TV Shows have a file size less than 2GB. I'll try to do some testing as soon as work allows me to get back to a normal life, (T_T)

Back again with some initial findings:
1. Size of the file does not matters. It shows the poster frame for .m4v files of any size.
2. Taking again into account your post, I checked every detail between the ripped TV shows and the ripped DVD movies and everything was the same except one small detail: audio settings. The ripped TV shows had an original Dolby Surround soundtrack, so I encoded them choosing the 'Dolby Surround' audio mix setting in the encoding program while with the ripped DVD movies that had an original Dolby Digital 5.1 I choose the '6 Channel Discrete' AAC 5.1 audio mix.
Noticing this difference, I tried encoding one of the previous movies that had the movie art issue using the same settings, but changing the audio mix setting from '6 Channel Discrete' AAC 5.1 to 'Dolby Pro Logic II'. Imported it to iTunes, applied the Movie cover art, synced with the Apple TV and there was the movie art in the Appke TV.
I'm gonna try again with different movies, but it seems, preliminarily, that the AAC 5.1 encoding setting does something to how the Apple TV sees the movie art in the file tags even though iTunes sees it alright.
I'll let you know what results come out of my tests.
Thanks again.

IWeb Published Quicktime Movie Won't Play in Safari. Only Quicktime Logo Shows.

I created a movie using iMovie and, after publishing my movie, using iWeb, to my MobileMe account, I visit the site using Safari, and can only see the Quicktime logo instead of my movie. When I use Firefox to view the page I created, it shows fine. I'm all up to date on my software and OS.
Any help you can offer me? It seems like all the Apple pieces aren't working well together.
All my other published movies still work fine. It's just this most recently-published one that won't show correctly.

Avenida jazz, Jazz avenida2 and Muritiba.
They are compressed in H.264 .mov. Only one works well on my macbook leopard snow and air ipad ios8. The two other Jazz and Jazz2 run on iPad but not macbook. Sometimes I succeeded, but this is very rare. Can anyone tell me please what I should do or not do?
Thank you to you.

IWeb has published my Podcast - but iTunes doesn't show the updated feed

I created three new Podcast episodes today, which all work fine and are published to .Mac like a dream...
The first one was picked up by iTunes and downloaded as I've subscribed to my own feed. As you do. The last two are not showing on iTunes at all...
In fact I realised on closer inspection that only five of the twelve Podcasts are in iTunes. Any ideas why?
Interestingly, the iWed icon in the application bar has "2" in a red circle in a "you've got two waiting to be published" kinda way. But all the pages are blue and I have published all pages to .Mac. Honest.
I'm no RSS geek, so any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Anthony,
Nice post! Although you do not need to wait for iTunes to check your updated feed. For a quicker response you can ping iTunes to read your rss feed. Simply enter this URL into your address bar:
https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/pingPodcast?feedURL=http://YourRSSFeedFileURL.xml
Bookmark the URL and use it whenever you want to update your podcast on iTunes.

OP,
The red icon with numbers in the iWeb icon on your dock means you have new comments added to your site. The number represents how many new comments there are.

Menu background movie doesn't show

Hello to all.
I've been working on a DVD from an iMovie file, and want to have a one-minute movie loop to play as a background for the main menu. I've tried all the methods mentioned in the iDVD Help topic, but all I get from it is the sound portion. When I open the "Menu" panel, I see the icon for my movie in the background image well, and also in the audio well. Everything looks like it should, according to the help file, but when I preview it there is no video at all. I've switched to various themes (6.0, 5.0, and 4.0), all without any improvement.
The movie clip was edited in iMovie, with an audio track added to it. I've tried to insert it as a DV file, an iMovie file, and a Quicktime file. All of these produce the same results.
I'm still using OS 10.3.9, but I have the belief that iDVD 6.0 works with my OS, as long as I stay away from HD themes.
Any suggestions?
G5 1.8GHz Dual Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks so much for the reply.
What I meant by saying that both of the wells had the icon for my movie clip was that by putting the clip in the video well, it appeared in the audio well by itself - I didn't have to put it there.
I followed your suggestion about putting the two tracks in separately, but got odd results. First of all, I used iMovie to extract the audio, and then used it to delete the audio from the movie file, so that I had an .aiff file for audio, and a movie file for the video. Had no problem putting the audio file in its well, but the new video-only movie file refused to go into the video well. Could it be that something about how I'm saving the iMovie clip is preventing the video from being recognized?
I should add that when I put that original file in the spot where it will automatically play when the disc is inserted, the clip plays just like it should. But if I put that same clip in the menu panel, it doesn't.
I've also got an odd thing about that first panel "Drag content here to automatically play when the disc is inserted". There's a red-X, which says that the "Total menu duration exceeds 15 minutes". However, that panel is blank, and I can't find any reference to what content is referred to.

IWeb-published QuickTime movies not playing in Chrome

I've built a site that includes movies exported from iMovie (.m4v files). They play just fine on my Mac in Safari and Firefox, but in Chrome the movie area is blank other than a large Quicktime logo. By watching network traffic it appears that the entire movie is being downloaded, which is not how the other browsers behave. Since the movies are over a gigabyte this isn't going to work.
However, if I open the movie file directly from its location in the published Media folder, Chrome begins playing it nearly at once, and appears to not be using the QT player.
Any ideas how I can convince iWeb to produce something that will please Chrome? Thanks!

Unfortunately this is not the only problem that Chrome has with iWeb 11 generated content. iWeb 11 makes sure that the CSS is compatible even with IE 8. Chrome does not support all the CSS 3 tags that Firefox and Safari support and as such will require a separate CSS sheet. At present iWeb does not generate one for Chrome and unfortunately there is not easy way to fix this. You can manually edit the generated code and change it so that it uses the same sheet for IE and Chrome. That should solve your problem. In my case I just gave up on Chrome. But there might be some other solution that I don't know about … good luck.

HT5085 I purchased the Veronica Mars movie and it shows in my purchases but I can not download the movie. When I look at downloads it says all previously purchased items have been downloaded but the movie doesn't show in my library and it won't download

I purchased the movie Veronica Mars. It shows in my purchases but it does not show in my library. When I check for downloads available it says that I have downloaded all purchases in my account but this one is not there. So frustrated with this whole system.

Does it show via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes for downloading ?

IWeb My Albums page doesn't show albums

I recently migrated from a previous MacBook using the Migrate Tool. All was well until I went to edit my website.
At first I noticed that a custom template I had installed on the previous machine wasn't available, then noticed that the My Albums pages were no longer showing the albums which were underneath them.
Furthermore, if I created a new My Albums page I was unable to drag the existing photo albums to it!
Very frustrating as this looks like it will need a total rebuild.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can force rebuild the My Album pages?
Thanks
A

Well I sorted this out.
I had installed some custom templates in iWeb which I had used to make the pages. When I migrated all content from the old machine, for some reason the templates - which are "embedded" in the application - did not come over.
I reinstalled the master template, which I though would fix it, but needed to also reinstall the customised version of that master.
Having done that, the problem was resolved and I was able to re-publish.
I hope this helps someone else.

Movie doesn't show - flickers of desktop instead

I'm trying to watch a .mov file and when it starts to play I see strange images that look like my desktop in the player screen instead of the video. The Audio appears to work but is clipping some here and there and sounds like an echo. Tried fast forwarding, even a software update did have any effect.

Was able to watch the .mov file using Nero. Very strange that Quicktime will not work. Desktop background that shows is very low res
