MOV files not streaming

I have a few MOV files in my iTunes library. Along with these MOV files are several movies purchased from iTunes. I stream my movies and music to my ATV (photos are synched so I can view thumbnails etc..)
From my ATV, I am able to access all of the purchased movies but I can't access the MOV files - again, the MOV files are appearing under 'Movies' in iTunes and I'm able to play them from iTunes without a problem --- just not visable on my ATV 'My Movies' menu.

do the files fall within the limits of video (below).. play in iTunes and Quicktime do not guarantee the file will play on appleTV.. appleTV has limits on files since they need to be access via streaming over wireless in many cases, so it makes sense to set some limits on files size, data rate etc..

MOV files not streaming to ATV

I copied a few videos that we took on our itouch to my PC and they come across as MOV files. I then added these to my itunes library. They appear in the library; however, they are not streaming to the ATV. I started testing a few things and noticed that other formats such at MPEG-4 works fine. I took a few of the MOV files that I imported from the itouch - converted to MPEG-4 and now it works fine streaming to the ATV.
I would think that if videos are recorded as MOV files on the itouch that this would easily synch with the ATV. Is this not the case? Am I going to have to convert MOV files to MPEG-4 in order to stream to the ATV?

They would work on the newer model as well as having the ability to airplay directly from the iPod. I have posted the compatibility for the 1st ATV

Some .mov files not being loaded

Hi,
I've got 4 movies in iPhoto, all with the .mov file format, and only one of them will load into iMovie. I've seen a lot of similar topics, but none mentioning movs that won't load.
The only pattern I can find is that the 3 that won't load have a "hint" codec (all 4 have AAC and h.264) so I'm guessing this is a bug with that codec.
All run fine in QuickTime, and they were all exported from QuickTime Pro for Windows.
Anything I can do to get them imported? If I need to do any edits in QuickTime Pro it'll have to be on the Windows version since that's the one I've bought (I'm a student - don't tell me to spend even more money!)

If you are referring to a file with an RTSP "hint" track, then you may be correct. Since I don't make files for use on a streaming server, I've not run into this problem but do know that iMovie '08 does not like "extraneous" tracks when it comes to editing and will likely ignore files containing them. Have you tried simply deleting the track using QT Pro? If you don't have QT Pro installed on your MacBook, try using the MPEG Streamclip (free) "Save As..." File menu option to place the H.264/AAC content in an MP4 file container. In the case of extraneous "Tween" tracks, this work flow strips the extra track from the file. Not sure if it will do the same for a hinted track but it may worth a try since no re-conversion is actually required and MPEG Streamclip is worth at least twice its price which seems to meet your "student" budget..

Movie would not stream to ATV

There is a few DVD that I ripped to be able to listen to them on my ATV. They always work fine. However I have an issue with the last few movies that I have ripped
- They work perfectly fine in iTunes
- They work perfectly fine if I stream them to my iPad 2 using Home Sharing
- They keep buffering and NEVER play when I stream them to my ATV using Home Sharing.
Why would those movies works everywhere else besides my ATV?
Thanks!

Discussion of techniques of DVD conversion is against Apple's forum rules and mentioned in the T&Cs.
The moderators often delete posts containing such discussions.
In general though if a movie file doesn't play it's useful to inspect the file info for bitrate and other parameters to see if it's within AppleTV2 specs - apps like MediaInfo and VideoSpec on a Mac can help with this.
It may not be the encoding however as AppleTV often says it cannot play the file if it's listed but actually incompatible for some reason.
Assuming other titles still play consider itunes library issues - it can get garbled- maybe try the file from a different itunes library in same or different user account.

Problem....Movies are not streaming -- seeing QT Logo

Hello,
I am having a huge problem with my websites. I created two sites with movies ("shared" to iDisk from iMovie) and they worked fine. When I clicked on the site, the movie would instantly start to stream in the player window.
However, for some reason after I created my third site and tried to add those same movie files to a movie page, the movies will not play until they are downloaded.
When you visit the page all you see is the Quicktime Logo, nothing happens for about two minutes until the file is completely downloaded. This is a sharp contrast to the other two sites that use the movies. When you log onto those pages, the movies immediately play in the window while they download.
This is a huge problem...can anyone give me some information?

Suggest you also crosspost in the Safari Forums just in case it's a browser problem.
Might as well kill 2 birds w/one stone.
Sorry, I do not use Safari.

Imported .mov files not showing up in IMovie

I downloaded 6-7 .mov files yesterday. All fairly short 5-10 second clips. The first 3 imported just fine and showed up in IMovie where I am editing a movie.
Afterwards, when I selected "import" the computer responded the same way, as if it was importing, creating thumbnails, etc and the video shows up in finder in the right place but it does not show up in IMovie and I cannot use it in my movie.
I selected "show all clip" and still they do not show up
I tried importing to iPhoto first and then to iMovie but it still does not show up. It does the same thing - acts like it is importing, creating thumbnails etc.
THe first three that I did are still there, just fine.

Thanks for responding. These videos were shot on a colleague's camera then loaded to an FTP server for me to download. I have them as MP4s (though I've tried to import them after converting to .mov and .avi, still to no avail).
I've loaded them into iPhoto, but still nothing shows up in iMovie when I click the "iPhoto Videos" tab. It's like iMovie can't see them, even though I can see and play them when I go back to iPhoto.
One other point of interest: I tried the same process in my older version of iMovie HD, and there they would load only as audio.
I'm flummoxed.

.mov Files not working in Mac but working on Windows

I use a Kodak 10MP digital camera to click. I use it to shoot some videos too.
I had some videos taken earlier on the camera and used to view them on windows. Just bought a Macbook a few days ago, and all those videos worked fine (transfered using an external drive). But there is something I m so confused with now.
All the videos I shoot now, iPhoto does not import (hangs). I copied the video to windows where I could see all easily, and copied it to a pen drive. But sadly even trying to open them on pen drive doesn't work. It says its not a .mov file (dimension: -- --) whereas earlier videos be it 640x480 or HD worked fine. Do note videos are working on Windows. I have Quicktime 10.0 and player 7 installed.
Please help.

Won't you mid it AMAZING
Windows Quicktime and VLC are playing the files easily. Mac OS X is not. aren't mov files exclusive to Apple?
There are no picture settings on the camera (heck the camera is so bad you can't do anything even on trying). How is this possible that old videos worked and new aren't. I can't even sleep until I understand.
Already feeling going the Mac way wasn't the right choice. Should have stuck with Windows.

.mov files not playing properly in Premiere Pro

Hey!
I'm new to setting up projects in Premiere, but I have the newest version (2014) of the software, and I'm having problems playing back files within the software. These are .mov files, taken on a Canon mark 3 primarily, and while some files play back fine, others black out the video or grab a random frame and hold it while the audio plays back smoothly. The clips play fine when I open in Quicktime.
I assume this is is a codec problem or something? I have no idea about codecs. Please help! I really appreciate it.
Thank you.

I believe that those MOV files are using the H.264 CODEC. You will need to have that installed (comes with later versions of Apple's QT), but even then, might not work in PrPro 1.5. I just do not recall if it supported H.264.
For a bit more background on file formats, this ARTICLE might be useful. For a bit more on CODEC's in general, this ARTICLE might be useful.
Good luck, and hope that PrPro 1.5 does handle H.264.

Old .mov files not viewable in qt for 10.4.3

i have several quicktime (.mov) files from a digital camera that work fine in 10.3.9 with qt 7.0.1. i recently bought a new powerbook and the video portion of the movies is not displayed (audio is ok). any ideas?...

worked perfectly, thanks! (when i checked my old pb's scavenged hd the quicktime folder had several codecs not found in the new one-must have been installed with various hardware drivers, i guess.)
thanks!

.mov files not showing video while using Quicktime Pro

Hi:
I'm trying to work with some .mov files that were created in DVCPRO HD format, which I understand is a Panasonic format. I've upgraded to Quicktime Pro 7.6.4 as instructed by the individual who created the .mov files. The problem is I get audio, but no video. I've also tried exporting these movie files to DV Stream and I get an error message that reads "qtKitErrorCatchAll(-8961)."
Thanks for viewing this and for any help you can provide.

The file was made by someone using Final Cut Studio?
A white playback means the codec used in the file is missing on the machine trying to view it.
Ask them to send you a version exported using H.264 video codec.

.MOV file "not supported..."

Hi,
I have uploaded some .MOV files from my Canon EOS550D camera to my PC and they display fine boith in VLC and in Windows Media Player. However, when I try to open them in Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0 (M178 -9/8/2009) get an error "This type of file is not supported, or the required codec is not installed". Please tell me what I need to do to edit .MOV files on my PC ?
Thanks,

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below

Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

MOV files not recognized for import

I must have had an old or defective QuickTime player on my editing system when I loaded Adobe CS4. I do not have a QuickTime option for import. I updated the QuickTime Player and it is now working properly. How do I get Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to now recognize my MotionLoops MOV files? Hopefully without reloading CS4!

Bill, that's strange indeed. Can you successfully play the MotionLoops files directly in the QuickTime player?
Cheers

.mov file not accepted by FCP

I'm trying to import a quicktime movie file into FCP, but I keep getting an error message:
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown.
Why don't they write these error codes so you actually know what the heck is going on?

Could be a couple of things, actually. Don't fall into the conversion trap that most editors do. If you have to convert something back and forth just to edit it, you're wasting all of your time.
First: make sure it's not some sort of permissions issue. Get info on the file, unlock it, and make sure read/write for ALL users is enabled, then don't lock it back. Try again.
Then, check the codec and all other info on the clip. Post that info. Check your Libraries/Quicktime against the info on your clip. Chances are, if you don't have FCP 6+ you don't have a lot of the HDV codecs installed. The "Apple HDV Component.component" fixes a LOT of this sort of thing.
Also- when you preview the clip in the Finder, do you get a picture? does it play? If not, you're going to need new codecs.
FCP is a PRO APP. It should be able to recognize and cut any piece of video out there. The trick is it's a plug-in architecture based on Quicktime. Quicktime is also a Plug-in architecture. If all the libraries to handle the video are in place, it doesn't matter which FCP you have, it just so happens that 6+ is the release written after a lot of the HDV codecs went live in cameras.
Hope this helps! I know not a lot of this information is public!!

MOV Files Not Loading to Mobile Me

Hi There,
I have downloaded a few clips from YouTube that I have converted to MOV files to use with Quicktime. When I try to publish my site to Mobile Me, however, I receive an error message saying that there is a problem with the clips. Am I doing something wrong?
I would use the YouTube widget to embed the videos, but my school blocks YouTube, so my students would not be able to see the clips.
Also, will students using PCs be able to see the clips if they are MOV?
Thanks!

I use MOV to edit movies, add effects, add mask, trim, crop, etc. in QuickTime Pro.
Then I export the movie to iPhone/iPod = h.264/aac with the .m4v extension.
Works on Mac and PC without a problem.
PC users need QuickTime installed or Flash if you use a Flash Video player.

LR 5.2 Export .mov file not performed

I am having issues with exporting photos along with a mov file. I am assuming that you can export photos along with video can you not?
I have tried and everytime when I do an export I get these messages that say "some export operations were not performed" ??
Since video is now becoming part of a wedding package I would like to export it all at once?

I have lets say 100 files, 2 of these are *mov files from a Canon 5D MKIII and the other 98 are raw files, when I go to export only the 98 raw files are exported not the 2 *mov files as I get these messages saying the export did not include these 2 files but selected the video files in the export dialog box and left them as is but no luck.
