Keynote '08 won't play MPG movie

I'm preparing a presentation. Bought a video clip to include, which turned out to be in MPG format. It plays fine on my computer in QuickTime, but won't play within the presentation. When I insert it the icon of a sound file appears, but it doesn't even play sound. Is there a fix for this?

Here's some info and how to convert the file...

  • Playing mpg movies

    What can I do to enable my iPad to play mpg movies that I took with my camera?

    You should just be able to import those movies, via iTunes, onto your iPad (sync them on) and then play them.
    So get the files onto your computer. Then import them into iTunes, then connect your iPad, navigate to the movie tab, choose those videos then sync.

  • My 10.6.8 macbook pro's DVD player won't play a movie from Netflix.  The DVD does play on a 10.5 mb pro.  So DVD is ok.  Message says "not permitted" when I click play.  Is there a compatibility issue? Or something else?

    Hello:
    This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
    When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

  • Quicktime won't play my .mov files since I upgraded to Mavericks.

    Quicktime won't play my .mov files, even those from an iPhone, since I installed Mavericks.  "Tell Me More" doesn't tell me anything about a solution.  Any suggestions?

    What do I do?
    Frankly, if you have deleted the original movie clips from your camera/camcorder and iPhoto, then it sounds as if you are up the proverbial creek without a paddle and there is nothing further that you can do.
    Some facts:
    For some reason, the movieclips are awful small (13-30 KB).
    640 x 480
    Codecs: H.264, AAC
    While these facts are of little value without file duration information, as you yourself have already noted, the file sizes quoted are extremely small. A typical VGA H.264/AAC file of reasonable quality would normally have a combined total data rate in the 700 to 1,700 Kbps range depending on specific settings, profile, and level of the encoding software and could be even higher or lower depending on the quality levels required. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that files in the 13 to 30 KB range only contain 104 to 240 Kbs and either have durations measured in fractions of seconds or do not actually contain enough data to be played. (E.g., the video data may be missing or the file is corrupted.) Thus, it is most likely that something was wrong with the workflow used to "export" your files to the external drive and when you ignored the fact that the files were not playing correctly, you closed the door on anything that you could do when you deleted the source files. (I.e., the normal workflow here is to copy the entire iPhoto library to the external drive, switch libraries, confirm the new library is working properly and only then delete the boot drive copy of the iPhoto library.)
    OBS: When I try to convert the files into something else (AVI, MP4 whatever) either it comes with an error, nothing happens or the converted file wont open. This happens with various convert-programs.
    If the data in the files is missing, then there is nothing to be converted by any application.

  • Qt won't play .mpg - long load time for .wmv

    2 questions about qt:
    1) why won't qt play .mpg files when VLC plays them with no problems?
    2) why does it take sooooo long for qt to load a .wmv file (I assume it's using flip4mac) when VLC loads it almost instantaneously?
    thanks.
    btw, using latest version of qt (10.0) on the latest version of Mac OSX (10.6.7)

    1) why won't qt play .mpg files when VLC plays them with no problems?
    While the MPG file extension is normally associated with multiplexed MPEG-1 video content on a Mac, this is not true for other platform users. For instance, the file may alternately contain anything from a simple MP3 audio stream to multiplexed MPEG-2 video or even AVCHD with AC3 audio. So in order to answer your question specifically, you need to tell us what specific form of compressed data is contained within the file. Basically, VLC provides its own built-in codec support which does not rely on your Mac component configuration while basic Mac support is limited to "playback only" compatibility of "muxed" MPEG-1 video with layer layer 1 or layer 2 audio unless you purchase/install specific additional component support like the Apple MPEG-2 Playback video only component and even then you would have to use a secondary application like MPEG Streamclip to to handle/bridge the synchronization of several audio formats.
    2) why does it take sooooo long for qt to load a .wmv file (I assume it's using flip4mac) when VLC loads it almost instantaneously?
    VLC plays the WMV data directly "on the fly" while the Flip4Mac component must read the entire file and cache the partially decoded data for direct playback by the QT player. You can avoid this delay by simply saving the partially expanded file data to an MOV file container using the "Save/Save As..." option. The resulting MOV file, however, will be much larger than the original WMV file.

  • Quicktime Player Pro won't play any movies?

    Ever since I restored my computer about a month ago, my Quicktime Player won't play any video formats correctly. .avi files don't play anymore, and mp4 files only play sound with the screen black. Then when I try to close the application, I get the pinwheel for a long time, thus making me force quit every time. How can I fix this so it can play movies correctly?
    (I'd also like to know how to get it to play .mka format movies as well)

    Courtney,
    There are a lot of possible CODECS used with .AVI file, not all of which are available for the QuickTime player.
    If you just want to play the AVI files use the free VLC media player found at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

  • Quicktime won't play my movies, just plays audio

    I have some movies downloaded that were .avi files when i got them, I used Divx Doctor to convert them to .mov files. Now, they play fine on my iBook G4, but on my new iMac all I can get is the audio. The movie info says the video is 3ivx 4.5.1 and I have the 3ivx codec installed on my iMac but it still won't play. In fact I have all the same codecs on the iMac that I have on my iBook. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Try playing it on the iMac under Rosetta. Believe 3ivX v4.5.1 is for PPC Macs only.

  • Technical problem: PPro CS5.5 won't play DSLR MOVs

    Hello!
    I am new to PPro CS5.5 (first day, actually) and I cannot play back .MOVs from my Canon 5D Mk2 (with audio). Every other file format that I tried worked, which is quite bad because I bought the Production Premium package just to work with DSLR footage.
    It doesn't matter whether I create a sequence (still haven't figured what that is for) with/for the file or not, it doesn't matter what project settings I have. After I start the application I can play (or scrub) DSLR files for ten seconds max before the output starts to jump erratically within the clip (the playhead doesn't) and then turns green (RGB: 0x008600), sometimes interjected with images from other clips that have been played before, sometimes even garbage. There is no recovering from this. All other file formats continue to work fine. "Project New" or exiting the application then may take up to a minute while the program remains unresponsive and looks like it has crashed. It is totally unusable (the competition and every other software works fine with the files).
    I have a Win7 64Bit 3.4GHz Sandybridge system with 16GB RAM. The harddisks are large, fast and quick enough to handle DSLR video. There are no other applications running in the background (really nothing as the computer is of course not connected to the internet) and there's lots of memory and harddisk space available.
    What can I do or what did I do wrong? Thanks in advance.
       ...Mike

    To edit/play MOV you must have Quicktime installed... what version of QT do you have installed?

  • IPhone 4 won't play rented movie

    Hi,
    I recently rented a movie in itunes using my iphone 4. When I wanted to watch the movie (on my iphone as well), the iphone asks for wifi connection to play the movie file. I don't understand why since my iphone is already connected to my local wifi conneciton...???
    I have also tried renting a movie via Itunes on my MBP and it works fine...
    Can anyone please tell my why this happens?? Can I fix this 'iphone problem' somehow..??
    Thanks,
    Jesper

    Me too, just got this for the second time, today with two movies on my 4s. First it says enable mobile data. I do that in store settings and then it says connect to wifi. Not really viable on the train and I can't check that the movie will play in advance because that could cause the rental to expire before I want to watch it.
    Really annoying, I'd love to know a fix for this.  If I was on an aeroplane for a long haul flight it would be even worse.
    I know they have to have DRM but why does it have to be such a pain?
    Rentals generally don't seem to be up to the usual apple usability standards.

  • Won't play rented movie

    Just rented movie from iTunes to my iPad and, when trying to play to apple tv it state it's not authorized to play this movie. Network connection and all settings seem ok.has anyone got a fix.

    Hey olly,
    I frantically searched everywhere for an answer to this problem and finally found it. I don't know if you already got this fixed, but in order to have the movies play back correctly you need the most recent Quicktime update (version 7.4.1).
    Cheers, Derek

  • ITunes won't play rented movie - authorization error

    Just rented a movie. Playing the movie gets the following error:
    "This computer is not authorized to play 'download.m4v'.
    If you purchased this song you can open your iTunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering your Apple ID and password"
    It gives the button "OPEN ITUNES".
    The problem: itunes is already open and giving me this message!
    So i click "open iTunes" and get the following:
    "Waiting for iTunes to authorize this computer to play 'Download.m4v'
    iTunes will prompt you for a password. You will not be able to play the song on this computer until you successfully authorize it using iTunes"
    And nothing happens...
    Latest versions of 10.5 and iTunes being used.
    Note: iTunes is authorized since it plays my other purchased content (movies and songs)
    Any ideas?

  • IOS 5 won't play my movies on iPad

    Something odd seems to have happened with the iOS5 update.  Some of my movies -- movies I'd made using iMovie on my iMac -- would not sync on my iPad anymore.  Before the upgrade, they had copied to the iPad from iTunes in the iMac, and played fine on the iPad.  Now, some of them -- not all -- won't load/sync on the iPad anymore.  An error message comes up -- to the effect that there sound isn't compatible. 
    I can't imagine what thi means: these movies play fine on the iMac, with audio.  They open in Quicktime.  But they now won't transfer to the iPad, whereas before the upgrade they did!
    The movies were made with iMovie on the iPad, and exported specifically for the iPhone, iPod, iPad, etc.
    Oddly, the option to made an iPad/Apple TV version is now greyed out in iMovie on the iPad.
    Question: 
    1)  Is anyone else have this or similar problems?
    2)  Any suggestions? 
    Thanks,
    Hal

    This seems to be a bug in the Music app.  Here is how I solved it for my iPhone 3GS:
    Connect the device using iTunes, and UN-check everything in the "Music" section.
    Sync the device with iTunes.  This will remove all music from the device.
    RE-check any (or all) items you want to sync in the "Music" section.
    Sync the device with iTunes again.
    Be patient.  This will probably take a long time.
    Sync the device with iTunes again, just to be sure.
    Once finished, your music should be restored, and will play properly.
    Good Luck!

  • Keynote podcast won't play

    I have subscribed to the Apple Keynote podcast and downloaded the latest one
    It plays fine in iTunes but when I sync to the phone and try to play it
    I get the message: "Movie could not be played"
    Tried unsyncing it...(Apply) and resyncing it and ...same thing.
    I've played these before OK on the phone.
    No other similar problems...just on this podcast
    any suggestions?
    thanks
    Pete

    OK thanks
    Now I don't get this... its the first time I've downloaded anything on the phone through iTunes
    When you watch it is your Wifi connected?
    If I click on the Keynote in iTunes it first took about 40 mins to download (?)
    Now when I click to play it takes a few minutes to load the movie then begins to play OK
    However if I disconnect the Wifi it says it needs to connect to it again to watch the movie
    What I would like is to have the video completely downloaded to the phone like all the other podcasts and videos I have copied onto the phone.
    I notice this one is not listed under video - only visible through iTunes.
    any suggestions?
    thanks
    Pete

  • WIndows 7 Ultimate WMP won't play MPG after installing Roxio Creator NXT Pro - Event ID 1000 (100)

    HP dv7t-6100 CTO Quad Edition Win 7 Ultimate SP1 fully updated (sfc, CHKDSK and Malwarebytes scanned - all clean)
    Seems like a simple DLL conflict per the Event Viewer details below:
    Faulting application name: wmplayer.exe, version: 12.0.7601.18150, time stamp: 0x518c6df8

    Report Id: de83bdca-83a4-11e3-b32d-2c27d7a9fbb9
    I uninstalled Roxio Creator NXT Pro (& used their cleanup program and CCleaner only on Roxio remnants) and the problem disappeared.  Did a complete re-install of Roxio and the same problem came back.  Curious as to why WMP would link to a Roxio
    DLL anyway.  BTW: Windows Media Center plays the same MPG files (w Roxiol) just fine so maybe not worth the $$$ below.  Had no problem with WMP &  Roxio Creator 2011 but the USB video capture device failed so I had to upgrade.
    Per incident: Roxio wants $25 / MS wants $49.  Thought I'd try "free" here first, not sure who owns this problem.
    (I guess the ~$49 Roxio Easy VHS to DVD Converter package has NO SUPPORT and 65% ONE STAR Amazon reviews - support only for their "Premium Products")   Maybe if they sold stuff that worked none of them would
    need "support"!
    TIA,
    JCN

    (a)  My account is an administrator account.
    (b) I did try turning WMP and WMC on and off independently within and without Roxio installed.  Without Roxio WMP works fine.  WMC works either way.
    (c) I did several more uninstalls / re-installs of Roxio product including using Revo Unistaller and Roxio's c2011_systemclean.bat "clean-up uninstall tool").  None of which worked and even made it worse (see below).
    My original key question still is:  Why does WMP fault via a Roxio dll?  dsfOggDemux2.dll (codec).  How is this even possible for there to be such a linkage?
    After all this effort now a clean reinstall of Roxio NXT Pro leaves me with this -->
    RoxioCentrtalFx.exe (their master gatewte interface) will not start-up with this new error (and un-fixable):
    Faulting application name: RoxioCentralFx.exe, version: 5.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x50077c71

    Report Id: 18f55045-843a-11e3-981e-2c27d7a9fbb9
    Although the two Roxio programs I use will start via shortcuts:  mediacapture14.exe &
    mediamanager14.exe
    When the later program occasionally stops working, the application error, is via ntdll.dll which I noticed was updated in a series of Windows updates (about 12-14 of them) around the 8/27/2013 timeframe.  I kind of don't believe in co-incidences.
    My one and only Roxio Forum responder kind of suggested "why you and nobody else?" (having these problems, i.e., I am the crazy nut job here) to which I referred him to the hundreds of reviews on Amazon, etc that gave Roxio 2012 products, etc ONE STAR or
    less (about 50% out of >300).  I NEVER had this much trouble with Roxio 2009-2011.  Must be that new Corel culture ownership sinking in.

  • TS3961 Quicktime in Lion won't Play MPG/MPEG-2 format Video

    I have OS X Lion but quicktime still says "QuickTime Player can't open "M2U02230.MPG" because a required codec isn't available."  Does anyone know what codec is needed?  Apple says that Lion will play MPEG-2/MPG format and MPEG-2 Playback Component is no

    No, Quicktime does not natively play muxed formats.
    For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, as well as the the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
