Missing controls with Quicktime

I just bought a new 13" MBP using 10.6.2 and in exploring the new OS (my MBP 15" has 10.5.x), I see there is no longer an option for the long standing separate control pane acessable via "window" menu which would otherwise provide speed, eq, tone, etc. that the new styled floating pane does.
Where do you access these features now?

Snow Leopard users can have two versions of QuickTime (X and 7.6.3). You install 7.6.3 from the Snow Leopard DVD.
QuickTime X doesn't have the same features as QuickTime Player. Use 7.6.3 if you want the A/V Controls window.

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.

No sound with Quicktime 7

thank you

Perian is third party software so you can't expect Apple to refer you to something it can't even be sure will exist (an in some cases didn't exist) when they write their error message in the program. It also could have been another third-party software issue. I think all Quicktime knows is that something is missing, but it can't tell you exactly what. Not that many of us find Apple's error messages all that informative at times, especially the numerical ones. At least this one was in English.

Lion OS with Quicktime playing MPEGs

I have been attempting to find a way to play MPEGs on my Macbook Pro. I downloaded OS Lion. The MPEGs would not play in this. I then downloaded the Streamclip MPEG application and the Quicktime MPEG Component package. I used Streamclip to install this. Even after doing this, the MPEGs would not play. I then converted them using Streamclip (to .mov) and these new converted files will STILL not play. All throughout I have gotten the same message - that I am missing codecs needed to play the movies (even for the .mov ones).
Can anyone offer any help? I can see thumbnails of the movies now (which I couldn't before), but when I click them to play, they still won't play.
I am running Quicktime Player V. 10.1
OS X 10.7.3

"MPEG" is a kind of catch-all for multiple formats so it would help to know which specific mpeg codec. There's various MediaInfo applications for OSX that will give you all kinds of details about the codecs used.
You may in general improve video playback with Quicktime with the help of
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.

Hi Tim ..
Reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
Then restart your Mac. Try Safari.
If it crashes again, uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

ITunes cannot run because it detects a problem with Quicktime

When I click on the help icon I am prompted to uninstill Quicktime. The problem is, Quicktime isn't in the list of installed programs. It is visable if I go to classic view in the control panel page but I can't seem to delete it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Download the version of Quickime without iTunes:

Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):

Since you do not have Quicktime in your list of installed programs, just delete the Quicktime files it recommends, this appears in the final section: +Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled+
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program. The installer doesn't give any message to confirm the installation.

Missing plugin for Quicktime but when click on install missing plugin, it says is updated. Cannot hear sound on my work sms site any longer.

On work sms text site - sound no longer is available. It indicates missing plugun for Quicktime. When clicking on the tab to install missing plugin, Firefox appears to install. Upon checking, all plugins are up to date but sound still no longer works.

The longer this thread continues, the more ancillary comments you throw in that aren't directly pertinent to your problem with your DVR software not working with Firefox 4.0. Sorry, I don't intend to continue with this discussion.
I do agree that ''something'' needs to be done better with regards to plugins for Firefox, but I do disagree with you as to whose responsibility that ''something'' is.

Is there something wrong with Quicktime and TIFFs?

I've been trying to see with Firefox the TIFF images of patents at the USPTO site and I can't. The browser advises me to install the missing plug-in although Quicktime is already installed. I wonder if it's a Quicktime problem or a Firefox one. I have a reason to believe there's something wrong with Quicktime though. Read on to see why.
On my system the *TIFF Image Test* (from mozdev.org) fails although I have the latest Quicktime plug-in. This happens regardless of the browser I use, all latest editions: Firefox 3.6, Internet Explorer 8 (both 32-bit and 64-bit versions) and Chrome 4. All seem to fail to recognize the presence of the installed Quicktime although my Windows OS is set to open TIF/TIFF files with Quicktime/PictureViewer.
Running about:plugins on my Firefox does show the Quicktime plug-in for a variety of files but NOT for opening embedded TIF/TIFFs. Also, when I open *Tools -> Options -> Applications* I see there is no registered handler for TIF/TIFFs. They don't appear on the known Content Types.
Is there something wrong with the installation of Quicktime? I can see USPTO TIFF images only with Safari which appears to have an integrated TIFF viewer. I haven't tried to install alternatiff or any other alternative TIFF handler.

DocBAZ,
I tried to visit the "test site" above. I'm not really sure it's an embedded image on a HTML page because I get a Firefox download window and a suggestion to open it with PictureViewer, which is the expected behavior for downloadable images. The mozdev.org test page on the other hand had an embedded image that needed the plugin, which is what is bugging me.
If you want a real complex test page with both an embedded TIFF and a downloadable one check AlternaTIFF here: http://www.alternatiff.com/testpage.html
Indeed the changes I made were in the QuickTime preferences, not PictureViewer which has no settings to change. And yes, Windows 7 has a unique place to deal with file types and MIME settings.
You will find some interesting suggestions over the problem at SuperUser.

Multiple monitor issues with quicktime.

Hi, I can never get this issue sorted out with Quicktime. I run windows xp and use 2 screens. Whenever I open a quicktime movie it takes over one of my screens so I can't do anything on it except watch the quicktime movie. Is there a way I can run quick time so it runs only on the screen I have quicktime running and leave my other screen alone??
Thanks,
Syed.

Are your monitors set up correctly in the Display control panel settings for primary and secondary? I had a similar problem where a QT video would always open on the monitor to the left cannot remember how I resolved it, so thinking it might be the Display control panel. Or clearing recent in player prefs.

Error when exporting with Quicktime

I'm having some problems exporting with Quicktime from iMove '08. Here are my settings:
(The highlighted portion says 20,000 kbits/sec)
I have exported using these settings before, but for some reason, it gives me error code -2002 when it finishes exporting now, and tells me that it can't export. Anyone know what error code -2002 is? I can't find it here or on Google. Exporting straight to m4v worked just fine.

I'm exporting at those dimensions because that's just where I had it set (lol). I didn't even realize it was HD until just now, but like I said, I put the lowest possible data rate (32 kbits/sec) and the smallest dimensions possible (160x120) and it still didn't work.
However, I had completely missed the fact that the audio wasn't being exported. I reset the audio settings and tried again on the smallest setting, and that worked. Thanks for your help!

Issues with Quicktime videos

Hi all,
I run Golive CS2 8.0
Having some trouble with quicktimes on my site, am learning Go Live as I go so please bear with me.
First, I want the video and controls to come up right away so that people can see the loading progress. Right now the layer is just black for about a minute while the video loads.
Second, I can't get the quicktime controls to work, play, pause, volume etc.
The control bar and timeline show up, AFTER the video has finished loading but no response.
These seem like simple questions..
Cheers,
Kevin

Simple answer: you need to export your videos as Fast Start movies:

Optimizing / compressing video for web with Quicktime

I have a ~70mb (3 minutes long) m4v video that I need to get to a much more reasonable file size for playing on a site that will primarily be accessed via iPad.
I don't know if it matters, but the video will need to play automatically upon page load.
I've read through a few tutorials for doing this with Quicktime, however I think I'm missing something..
From the Export pop-up menu, there should seemingly be an option to choose "Movie to QuickTime Movie." I have only 480p and iPod/iPhone/iPad options(which I believe would result in a viewing frame that is too small).
How can I proceed with web-optimizing this file in Quicktime? (Or is there a better solution? I tried Sorenson Squeeze, but that had a large watermark..)

I have a ~70mb (3 minutes long) m4v video that I need to get to a much more reasonable file size for playing on a site that will primarily be accessed via iPad.
File size is directly proportional to the combined total data rate of your file. If you want a smaller file, then you need to reduce the audio + video data rate of the file. Unfortunately, overly reducing the data rate can adversely affect the audio/video quality of the file. Depending on the encode settings (data rate, encode matrix dimensions, display dimensions, entropy option, intra/inter frame options, number of encode passes, etc.), user tolerance for minimum quality level, the specific target ISP speeds required, application to be used, etc., the possibilities are relatively endless. Basically, the file you describe above has a combined total data rate on the order of 3.1 Mbps. Such a data rate might be considered low for a full 1080p file, adequate for a 720p file, or excessive for a VGA file depending on the graphic complexity of the file. In short, it is difficult to properly answer your question without additional information or actually seeing the file in question. (I.e., proper encoding of content is as much an art as a science.)
I don't know if it matters, but the video will need to play automatically upon page load.
It may matter depending on how the web site is coded and/or how the content is to be accessed by the target iPad device.
From the Export pop-up menu, there should seemingly be an option to choose "Movie to QuickTime Movie." I have only 480p and iPod/iPhone/iPad options(which I believe would result in a viewing frame that is too small).
The option and tutorial you reference require the use of QT 7 Pro which the option you reference sounds nore like a QT X player export option. (Once, again, what you can do will depend on the software you are trying to use to create your file and a 480p file could normally be anything from an 853x480 (16:9 aspect) file to a 640x480 (4:3 aspect) file or an anamorphic 720x480 file displaying in either the 16:9 or 4:3 aspect. So I really don't know what you consider a "small" viewing frame.
How can I proceed with web-optimizing this file in Quicktime? (Or is there a better solution? I tried Sorenson Squeeze, but that had a large watermark..)
As previously mentioned, there are many applications that can be used here—QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, QT X, HandBrake, etc. to name just a few. I personally would recommend the free HandBrake app since it offers both manual and automatic preset options, as well as, allowing you to create anamorphic or non-anamorphic encodes targeting either a fixed level of quality or a target file size depening on your needs. Unfortunately, the more options you have, the more decisions you need to make which means the more you need to critically analyze your target needs/requirements—which is frequently something many video users are trying to avoid.
Basically, if you want more specific advice, you will first have to better define your specific needs here.

Resizing a video file recorded with quicktime

Hi
I have recorded my screen with Quicktime for 2 hours and the file went upto 12 GB. I want to resize that file as it is a waste to keep the file with that size. Can anyone help me in resizing the file.

If only part of the screen is of issue then use MPEG Streamclip (free) , set the export (to MPEG-4 and select an iTunes preset like iPod or iPhone) to the same size as your screen (1900 X1200 etc.), then use crop, which is a bit of a hit or miss proposition to crop left, right, top, bottom to save and export just the part you want to see.
There is an export preview in Streamclip so you can see in seconds what you are going to get and estimating the cropping points is not that hard, as you know how big the screen is and if you want 1/3 in the middle you set left and right crop to be 1/3 of the width each.
Note the end result is scaled down to the crop settings so it is not 1900X1200 using this example, it might be 600X400 etc. Just the part you want, life size.

Capturing with QuickTime Pro?

I have much problems with capturing in FCE: missing frames, out of sync audio, one cassette ok - the second with problems.
Now I capture with QuickTime Pro and import in FCE.
Is this procedure ok?

Excuse me, I forgot: several miniDV cassettes from two different cameras. The camera I use for capturing is yet another (Medion MD 9090) camera.
With iMovie there is no problem to capture but I have learned this is not the right way.
With QuickTime Pro there is also no problem, so I use it now.
Can there any problems using QTP for capturing instead of using FCE?
