.m4v files won't play in QuickTime from hard drive

hi, downloaded tv series from iTunes (.m4v files). When I go to iTunes Media and click on one of the shows it opens QuickTime and a grey and white checkerboard screen appears and nothing else. Can stream the shows direct from iTunes but that adds to download quota and want to play the downloaded version on my hard drive using Apple TV. Thanks if you can help. Downloaded Perian and didn't help

The correct way to stream purchased content from iTunes to the AppleTV is using Home Sharing NOT Airplay mirroring which I think you are attempting here.
Enable Home Sharing in iTunes and on AppleTV (under Computers).
Provided your iTunes is running on the same LAN as AppleTV you can go to Computers and selecting TV Shows/Movies etc from there plays across the LAN not the internet.
It is the main Movies/TV Shows/Music icons that play previously downloaded content from the internet/cloud - Computers icon pulls locally stored iTunes content across the LAN not the internet.

Mov files won't play in Quicktime?

Hi,
I have to cut some footage with Final Cut Pro. I used an G5 for that which worked fine. But I have to change to a MacBook Pro with Intel Core2 Duo now, because the G5 is to slow.
Sadly, the footage I have won't play with Quicktime and - of course - neither with Final Cut Pro on the Intel Mac. I just have the sound, but no video. Seems like a codec is missing. but when I download the codec it won't install because it seems to be already installed...
I don't know how the footage was captured, I assume with FCP though... Info says: "Apple Intermediate Codec".
I updated everything except "Compressor" because the update fails.
I use MacOS 10.6.2 with my old FinalCut Pro HD 4.5 (Rosetta). I have Perian installed.
What can I do?

This is a quick time Codec problem... I want nothing to do with FinalCut...
I have a series of videos from my wedding that I want to convert into some other format that can be edited in Premier.
The videos open in quicktime, but only give me audio and no video. VLC will wont even play them saying
"No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "icod". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this."
Any ways, I opened them up in quicktime and get the properties of the videos
Video track - 27.58MB - Apple Intermediate Codec
Sound track - 531.72KB - Integer (Little Endian)
The file itself is 28MB, so I know the video is still in there somewhere.
If someone could please tell me how to convert these, I would be greatly appreciated. These are the only videos of my wedding, so I really need them to be saved.
Please email me if you might have any suggestions.
Thanks

After rendering as MOV, file won't play in Quicktime.

When I render files as MOVs or MP4s, the files will not play in Quicktime or VLC. When opened in Quicktime, a "Converting..." window pops up. After waiting for a long time, an error message shows up.
Any suggestions?

Howdy Martin, it's a project to add the illusion of 3D to a 2D static photograph. You import a layered PSD with two layers - one monochromatic mask and the base photo. You add a displacement map to the image, tweak a few settings, add a keyframe to either end, chnage parameters and you're done. Like this After Effects TUTORIALS - How to Make 2d Image to 3D using Displacement Map (After Effects & Photoshop) - YouTube Should be relatively simple and is up to the point when I export and play it back!
Have rendered with AE directly as as well as AME.
It's odd as I've kept fiddling today and have managed to create a project that works and plays back then the next one does not, same everything! Arrrgh!
Latest AE OS 10.9.5
thanks for taking an interest, I really need to nail this to develop the theory/concept I'm working on.

.MOV file won't play in QuickTime Player? QT Components?

I have a bunch of .MOV clips on my hard drive that I'd like to ultimately import to Final Cut Express (4.0.1) to edit (my wedding video!!). If I double click on the clip, it automatically opens in QuickTime Player (7.6.9), and I then prompted to a QuickTime Components website. I'm not sure why the .MOV clips won't play, since I believe I have the latest version of QT. What should I do?
Additional information on the .MOVE files: original format is MPEG HD, dimensions: 1280 x 720, Codecs: XDCAM EX 720p30 (35 Mb/s VBR) Integer (Big Endian), Timecode
Thank you for your help!

Upon further research, I found that a certain QT plug-in is required to use XDCAM EX footage in Final Cut Express, which can be found on this website:
http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QXD.asp
I downloaded the demo, but have no idea how to use it to convert my files so FCE will accept it. Is anyone familiar with this plug-in and what to do once it is downloaded?

Mov file won't play in quicktime on pc only audio plays

How do I get my mov file to play in Quicktime? The audio plays but the image doesn't appear -- it is just black or white. Thanks. If I need a codec, how do I get it? I am using a PC not a Mac.

Use the Movie Inspector window to find out what video codec was used and a search of the Web to find a valid version.

Itunes won't play library on new hard drive

I had to install new hard drive. Moved all itunes files over including library. Downloaded latest version of Itunes, but it won't play any of my music.

This is relevant portion of the support document with a bit of editing for clarity.
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
Using a Mac click the icon to open iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the Option key.
You should see the following screen:
If iTunes opens normally, close it and try again.
Once you've got that dialog you have two options. If your previous iTunes library database is stored on the external drive use Choose Library to browse to it and open it. If you only have the media folder on the drive then use the Create Library option to create a new iTunes library at /iTunes on the external, move the media folder to /iTunes/iTunes Media and then add it to your new empty library.

MPEG-4 video files won't play in Quicktime

I bought movies on iTunes and I can only watch them on my iPod. I can't view the movies with Quicktime or with iTunes. The movies are MPEG-4 video files. Any suggestions? I can't figure it out.

I solved my problem with MP4 and MOV files not playing on my Windows XP Pro PC.
Short solution: Reinstall latest NVIDIA driver from NVIDIA not Microsoft.
A few days ago, I decided to rebuild my PC from scratch, after deciding to change from Norton to McAfee for performance reasons. I reinstalled Windows XP Pro from the installation disks and performed Microsoft Update to bring it up to current. I then manually installed all optional software and hardware "updates". Installing the optional video driver turned out to be the cause of the problem, but I did not know it then. It was a very obsolete driver - NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003
I downloaded and installed Quicktime with iTunes which installed QuickTime 7.4.1 and iTunes 7.6.0.29. Neither would play MP4 or even MOV files. I got garbled, scrambled, blocks of colored video. Audio would play OK.
A re-install of QuickTime did not help and both products said they were up to date.
A temporary quick-fix was to uncheck DirectX - Enable Direct3D Video accelleration in QuickTime-Edit-Preferences-QuickTime Preferences-Advanced, or select Safe Mode (GDI only).
The permanent fix was to update the video drivers and NOT use the Microsoft supplied update. I went to www.nvidia.com, selected "support" on the taskbar, clicked "download drivers", entered product type=Legacy and GeForce3 Series and Windows XP and clicked Search. That found ForceWare Release 90 version 93.71 dated Nov 2, 2006. It supports a huge number of NVidia cards. I downloaded it and installed it and everything worked after that.
To prevent Microsoft Update from re-installing the Optional Hardware video driver, run Microsoft Update manually (e.g. from IE-Tools-Windows Update) click "Custom", select Optional Hardware, Expand the NVidia Corportation – Video – NVIDIA GeForce 3 Ti200 released on July 28, 2003 and check "Don't show this update again". Then close Microsoft Update. (while you are at it, do the same for the optional audio update. That really messed up my system)
I hope this helps at least a few people. Good luck.

K8N Neo4 Platinum Freezes playing ripped movie from hard drive???

System freeze's up usually after a half hour to 50 min of playing a ripped movie. Sometimes after freezing up reboots and stops at the raid boot. If you reset usually comes up missing the NTRL... or so. So I power down sys. wait 30 secs. to min. reboots fine. This also will happen if computer sits idol. Power Saver feature is turned off in Display setup, also no screen saver. Not sure if there was any of these features in the Bio's

extra but pulled temp.
PATA Raid 5 Card Promise 4000 Lite w/4 - 250Gig Western Digital
Pulled out to see if it was a prob but made no difference.
The intention for this computer is as a Movie Server of all my DVD's to eliminate the load time, and to prevent damaging disc's by touching, possible drops. currently have a 300DVD changer and a 400 dvd changer expected any day. Preferr to have instant load instead of waiting for discs to load.
Future intentions are to add 500 gig drives when prices come down to a reasonable price.
Is this a nvidia driver prob? Any help appriciated
Thanks Matt

If they are in BIOS put the CAS value to 3. because if go to the SPD tab you will see that the CAS value at 200Mhz is 3, I think....
Did you give more volts to the memory, as I sugested in my previous post??

.mov files won't playback in quicktime 7.2 after archive and install

I just did an archive and install, because I was having a few problems with the Safari beta.
However since doing so it has been a complete nightmare. So many things stopped working. I'm guessing I had them installed on the system and not on my user.
So now after getting most thing back up and running, .mov files won't play in quicktime 7.2 an annoying 3ivx pop up appears which leads to a dead link.
So I checked the .mov format and they are 3ivx, but how do I install and from where do I get the codec??

Perian

It's free and most people use this to play off the wall codecs...3ivx.
Please read the information on the web page on how to install and use. In the download there a help page.

After a itunes update my HDV mov files won't play on my mac.

I applied and update to my MacBook pro and BAM!! Now my HDV.mov files won't play with QuickTime or final cut pro. I'm in the middle of a project and I can't finish it because when the files play in fcp I get a error. Can anybody help me with this?

I have two anserws I think might work for you. The first one is: This solved the issue down loading and re-installing Quicktime 7.5.5
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/blog/posts/using_pacifist_to_downgrade_quicktime .html
I'd create a backup of the System / Components and Quicktime folders first though, just incase you need to revert back.
and the 2nd one is:
I HAVE A FIX...AND IT WORKS!!!!!!!!! Actually a friend found this fix somewhere else, but I just did it and it worked. The only rub is you need to have access to another system that has not been updated to iTunes 10.5 or QT 7.7.
On the system that has not been updated, go to:
MAC HD/System/Library/Components and copy that folder to an external drive...next go to
MAC HD/System/Library/QuickTime and copy that folder to an external drive.
On the system that is not working, go to the same places on the MAC HD and delete those two folders. Then copy the folders from your external drive to the same location. Restart you system...i did it twice...and everything should be back to normal. This has worked on both systems here that were previously jacked up. If you do not have access to a system that was not messed up, let me know and maybe we can swap files.
I havent tried any of these yet because I'm in the middle of a project and I dont wnat anything to go wrong right now. After I'm done I will be sure to get started on one of these.
If you try any one of these let me know how it works out.

.3g2 files won't play in any media player

Hello.
Ever since we updated to OS X Mavericks, any old .3g2 files won't play in any media player on our iMac. When we go to play them, they play button in QuickTime just flashes from pause to play and then back to pause and and nothing happens. I'm not sure if this file type is becoming outdated and therefore is not compatible with the new OS X, but I am just curious if anyone knows if there is a way to fix this.
Thanks.

Did you try VLC?

.mov won't play in quicktime after previewing in photoshop bridge cs6, what do I do to fix?

I have a iMac, OS X 10.8.5, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5.
I don't like how iphoto organizes my files so have been organizing my photos and videos from my iphone into folders after exporting them from iphoto.
These are the steps I believe I took in regards to my "corrupted" .mov file:
-imported into iphoto
-exported originals from iphoto
-re-organized photos and videos using adobe bridge CS6
-tried to open my .mov from bridge (default is to open in quicktime), I'm getting a small black quicktime box (as compared to a large window where the file will play), but video will not play.
-video will play inside of bridge preview window but file will not play in quicktime.
HOW DO I GET MY FILE TO PLAY IN QUICKTIME?
DID I MISS A HIDDEN FILE WHEN MANUALLY MOVING THE FILES IN BRIDGE?
I no longer use this process.
I am using image capture to import and then organizing from there.
I don't believe I have an issue with my .mov files anymore.
This seems like something caused by iphoto. ????
