MacBook pro with QT 7.1 pro won't play dv files exported from imovie

I have been exporting Full Quality dv files from my imovie projects for viewing on my MacBook pro with QuickTime. After upgrading QuickTime from 7.0 to 7.1(pro), these files are now unwatchable. There are jagged horizontal lines along edges, especially edges that are moving. (The desktop Mac at my office does not have this problem, but it is a G5 (rather than Intel) and does not have QTpro. I tried updating everyrhing to latest versions (QT 7.1.6) but stripes persist.
Has anyone else seen this?

But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
Insert your DVD.
Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.

  • MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files.

    Since "upgrading" to Lion my MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files, all I get is a black screen and the audio.  It's so frustrating!!    
    I've read many other posts all along the same lines and wherever possible I've tried to follow the advice which has been given but nothing works.    I've updated all the drivers I can and I've even reinstalled Lion, nothing makes a difference.   
    I'm not really looking for any more advice, all I want is someone from Apple to read these posts, realise there is problem and get working on a fix or update.   
    I had no problems when running Snow Leopard and it would seem, looking at everyone else's problems, that the common issue is Lion.   Seriously, this is one area where Lion is a backwards step.   It should just work (like most things from Apple), but it doesn't.
    Personally I believe there is a problem with Lion but from what I've found out from speaking to friends with other Apple kit, this might be a random issue only affecting some people as some have said they've had no problems while others have had the same issues as me.    One guy reinstalled Lion and it resolved the issue for him, I've not been as lucky.  
    As I say, I'm not really looking for more advice, simply some sort of update from Apple to fix it.   PLEASE!!!

    This is a peer-to-peer user forum. Perhaps you would see more action if you and others would file a formal "Bug" report with Apple QuickTime technical people rather than repeatedly reporting a possible problematic problem which may or may not affect others on a random basis. QUICKTIME PRODUCT FEEDBACK
    Since you aren't seeking further advice here is what I have observed. Not being a regular WMV file user, I had to create my own sample file to test—a WMV 9 file containing WMV3 compressed video and WMA2 compressed audio. Since I normally use QT 7 as my primary media player, I also stored the WMV data in its partially decompressed form in an MOV file container to avoid pre-playback delays in "classic" player routines and also provide a secondary playback test of MOV wrapped content. These files play as follows using the Flip4Mac component/player support and uncoded URL uploads:
    QT 7.6.6 "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    QT 7.6.6 "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    QT X.1 "Open File" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file plays video without audio.
    QT X.1 "Open Location" - WMV file appears to open but plays with "black" screen and no audio. MOV file plays video without audio.
    VLC "Open File" - WMV plays correctly. MOV file doesn't open,
    VLC "Open URL" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file appears to open but nothing plays.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    GarageBand - WMV file will not import but MOV file does.
    iTunes - WMV file will not import. MOV file container is accepted but as soon as iTuness sees the compression formats, it aborts import.
    Safari - WMV file URL auto-downloads and playes in the QT X.1 Player. The MOV file URL opens and plays in Safari.
    As you can see from these results the files do play but are subject to many different constrints based on old/new video technology support, independent QT subsets and/or container trapping constraints. In short, individual user results will depend on presence/absence of component support, actual compression formats, file container, application being used, and how the application is being used. Unfortunately, most users here can't or won't provide the prerequisite information or a sample file for independent examination. This makes it next to impossible to give advice in these matters or categorize the specific nature of the problem.

  • TS3423 17" macbook pro won't start blue file with question mark is all that appears on the screen

    My old macbook pro will not start up. Worked fine yesterday, today all I gat is the startup sound and a blank blue screen. After a while the screen shows a file folder icon with a question mark in it. Any ideas

    Question (?) Mark, Blinking Folder, or Gray Screen at Startup
    These are related but not identical issues. Their causes are outlined in Intel-based Mac- Startup sequence and error codes, symbols. Solutions may be found in:
    A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac
    Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
    In most cases the problems may be caused by:
    Problem with the computer's PRAM - See Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM.
    Boot drive's directory has been corrupted - Repair with Disk Utility.
    Critical system files are damaged or deleted - Reinstall OS X.
    The disk drive is physically non-functional - Replace the hard drive.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    The main difference if you are using Lion or Mountain Lion is that you must first boot from the Recovery HD:
    Boot From The Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard Without Erasing The drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions

    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • HT2499 my macbook pro won't play any dvds - so many problems with this machine I wish I hadn't switched - constantly frustrated and find it so unfriendly

    So much wasted time with this MacBook Pro - I so regret buying it, but I guess I have to stick it out for awhile, seeing as it was twice as much $$ as a new Toshiba (why oh why did I switch) - not friendly at all.  i.e., I didn't have to have a support community with my PC - it just worked!! That being said, does anybody know why this thing keeps telling me "not permitted" - ?  It brings up a dvd player icon but gives me a black screen that says not permitted.

    ok, I found a TS file and the program separated all my chapters into separate files.  eg., there are ten little VLC icons - so, at least I know the computer is recognizing the files to a certain extent.  I am used to the dvd opening with its menu on other computers - what program on the MAC would do this so that I can just play the dvd right through and use the menu, if I want to? 
    Thanks to everyone who replied.....
    As you can tell, I am not super computer literate - I just want to use this new Mac with the facility that I am used to with my old Toshiba, programs that are friendly that I can navigate around and organize/burn/play my dvds/CDs.  That is why my daughter (20 years old) talked me into buying this Mac when I needed a new computer, she said all her friends who make movies and other media have MAC, but her really Geek friends don't use MAC.  Sigh.....my struggle continues - I think I will have to take a Mac course, or try to sell this and go back to PC. Only so much time I am willing to put in.....I end up serving this MAC rather than it serving me.....BF

  • MacBook Pro won't read the sdxc card from Panasonic GH2

    I've got a MacBook Pro running 10.5.8. Just took my first pictures/video with the GH2 using a Lexar 64GB SDXC card. When plugging in the USB cable that came witht the camera I got - "The disk you inserted was not recognized by this computer". Does anyone out there have the GH2 that has experienced this problem? Solution? I've written to Lexar but so far they've been no help. I know the file system for this card is FAT32 which is a PC format.  I know this card will work with the Mac...but how is it accomplished?

    Your easiest & cheapest way to transfer the camera pictures is to buy (about $10 - $20) a USB memory card reader. Just plug your camera's memory card into it & copy the pic files to your Mac. Quicker & easier than interfacing the camera for pic transfer.

  • TS2570 Macbook Pro won't boot + Rescue files + Wipe and Install

    How it started: I was browsing the internet and when I clicked on a link the Macbook Pro froze so I waited 15+ min for it to get back to normal, since it didnt I decided to turn it off by holding the power button down for a fee seconds. After I turned it on again it showed a grey screen with the apple logo and it was stuck there forever.
    What I have tried:
    - Disconnect peripheral devices - All disconnected, still the same
    - Safe Mode - It starts the same then it turns off by itself
    - Reset the NVRAM / PRAM - Computer restarted with the gong and a white screen and apple logo, but it was stuck there forever (after this step I didnt see the grey screen again, instead it started showing the white screen every time I turned the Macbook on)
    - Disk Utility - Tried to repair the HD but it couldnt.
    - Reinstall OS X - Once I get to the screen where it tells me to choose an HD I cant continue because it doesnt show any HD to choose.
    - Boot DiskWarrior (3rd party) from DVD - Downloaded and burned the DVD with my PC, inserted it in Macbook Pro, tried booting it (C key while booting), I left the Macbook stuck there all night and nothing happened.
    Seems like I will have to do a Wipe & Install to restore the HD, but I teally want to rescue all my music before that. Any suggestions? I dont have a Time Machine backup.

    You need this link to recover your data
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Also read this
    My computer is dead, is my personal data lost?
    And this link to fix your machine.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    - Disconnect peripheral devices - All disconnected, still the same
    check
    - Safe Mode - It starts the same then it turns off by itself
    check
    - Reset the NVRAM / PRAM - Computer restarted with the gong and a white screen and apple logo, but it was stuck there forever (after this step I didnt see the grey screen again, instead it started showing the white screen every time I turned the Macbook on)
    PRAM holds the splash gray screen image, white screen is the same thing basically without the gray screen
    - Disk Utility - Tried to repair the HD but it couldnt.
    Did you try the Macintosh HD partition?, that's where your problem is
    - Reinstall OS X - Once I get to the screen where it tells me to choose an HD I cant continue because it doesnt show any HD to choose.
    Should be Macintosh HD partiton, since to use Disk Utiity your command r booted from the Recovery HD partition
    Since you were able to boot into Recovery HD to use Disk Utility, that means the drive is working that just OS X on the Macintosh HD partition isn't booting.
    If your using a external boot disk like from 10.5 or 10.6, don't.
    There is one more thing to try, hook up a Ethernet cable to your router or modem (must be reset, power off/on) and use command option r keys upon boot, this (if your machine is capable) will install Recovery HD from Apple's servers instead of from the boot drive, it takes longer.
    BTW your signature says you have 10.8, but this was posted in 10.6 forums.

  • Macbook Pro won't play any videos on any browser or any site

    Videos on youtube, tumblr, facebook, amazon instant, netflix and any other video I come across will not play and will not even start to load on my macbook pro. I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash, I have cleared all website data, I have cleared my history, I downloaded chrome (and the problem did not change on the new browser), I have restarted my computer multiple times, and nothing seems to work. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it?

    I would, first of all, try another browser. If you don't already have it, try Firefox, if it works ok in Firefox I would try resetting Safari.(uncheck "remove saved names and passwords" if you don't have them written down anywhere)

  • Macbook Pro won't download .zip files correctly

    I have a Macbook Pro (13'' June 2012 model, 500GB HDD, 4GB RAM, 2.5GHz i5 processor, OS X 10.9.5) and whenever I try and download .zip files, on either Chrome or Safari, it doesn't know what size the file actually is meant to be (as seen below) and so keeps downloading constantly. Each time I cancel it (in some cases after it's reached over 100MB even though the file is a 9 song album), I get no files back out. Is there anyway to fix this so I can actually download them?

    Download Stuffit Expander from the App Store or directly from the manufacturer.  The software is free.  It can open any file you throw at it - after you set up its preferences to do so.

    You can't boot OS X with a Windows boot device.
    Internet Recovery is the next step. Follow ssls6's advice.

    I need QuickTime 7 on my mac to play some files for work, and already have QuickTime 10.2 on it, which my Mac won't allow me to uninstall. And when I try and install 7.7, I get an alert telling me that 'This version of QuickTime 7 can't be instralled on this disk because QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime for you Mac.'
    Yet when I use Software Update, there is nothing to update.

  • Videos on my macbook pro won't play sound after apple tv was installed in the house

    Hi! Need some help... for christmas my dad received the little black Apple TV device to watch videos on our big tv from his iPad. After it was installed no sound came from my macbook, it instead comes out of the tv speakers. When dad is airplaying a video from his iPad and I open a video on my mac, the iPad video gets interrupted and the sound from my video comes on without the visual. What's going on?! I see the airplay symbol on the top right bar but it always says disconnected, yet obviously the sound is somehow connected.

    that figures, VLC.
    Consider getting your dad the APP VLC streamer  for his Ipad, that way he can wifi beam movies etc. to his Ipad from any Mac.
    removes putting movies on an Ipad and clogging it up with large movie files.  Very handy

  • Macbook Pro won't open any files, safari or app store

    Hi, last night my macbook (15-inch, Late 2008) froze completely and wouldn't let me turn off or restart, so I had to wait until the battery ran out to reboot. When i rebooted it seemed the macbook had completely reset , all my files are all grouped under "all my files" instead of their designated folder, and the image of each file (e.g. usually a note if a song) had gone.
    When trying to open a file it does not let me, the same goes for a few applications including Safari, App Store and programs i had bought previously.

    This is what your problem is.  You have received a MBP that has all of the App store applications registered under the sellers name.
    You should have received the MBP with the original OSX disks so that you could set it up in your name and with your ID.  Ask the seller if he has the original disks and a Snow Leopard retail disk.  (10.6.8 is needed to install Lion, Mt. Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite)
    If not, you will have to at the very least purchase a Snow Leopard disk from the Apple online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    You will have to install Snow Leopard and then run software update to upgrade it to 10.6.8.
    If you connect a HDD to your MBP via USB, with this disk, you can install Snow Leopard on the external HDD.
    Ciao.

  • MacBook Pro won't see jpg files while browsing Samsung phone via bluetooth

    I have been searching the forums for at least an hour or two and cannot find an answer. I have a Samsung SGH -A767, and when I "Browse Device" I cannot see the jpgs on my phone. Both are turned on and discoverable, and connect fine. I can send files from my Macbook to my phone with no problem, I can send individual files from my phone to my macbook with no problem when sent using the phone's controls. When I "browse" my phone's file folders, however, I can see the folders and the audio files within, but I cannot see the hundreds of .jpg's I have taken with my phone. I DO see, however, only three jpgs -- the three .jpg's that I have sent over from the macbook.
    Please help! I take a lot of pics with my phone and I dont want to have to send each file over individually one by one, that will take hours!
    Thanks in advance!

    Here is the solution... Despite my faith in online support, apple's one really works!
