.mov files won't run in Yosemite

For some reason my .mov files which played fine on my old iMac running 10.6.8 will not run on my new iMac 5k running 10.10.1. What do I need to do to get these files to run on my new mac?

Hi Pieter,
Use Handbrake 64 to convert it to what you want. HandBrake: Open Source Video Transcoder Don't download from any source that you don't trust like, Bit-torrents.

.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??

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.

Random exe-files won't run on windows. Driver related?

Hope someone smarter than me can find an answer to this...
I've tried running a bunch of games via bootcamp and random exe-files won't run. A couple of times the setup.exe wouldn't start and other times the installations go fine but the game itself refuses. I get a short flash of a dos prompter that disappears within the fraction of a second and then nothing happens at all.
I get the same thing weather I run XP SP3 or Win 7 x86 and I've probably tried ten games all together.
I'm thinking it must somehow be driver (or else way BootCamp) related since all games have been successfully run on native PCs.
Any ideas?

That sounds almost like trouble with your Windows Installer.
What versions of Windows installer are you running for each of your OSes?
A quick way to check: bring up a Run line, type msiexec and hit the Enter key. The Windows Installer version should be at the top of the information screen that comes up.

Aggregator EXE files won't run

Hi,
I'm new to using Captivate and I recently created my first Captivate-based lesson. I have 5 discrete learning modules each with their own multiple-choice quiz, so I decided it would be best to make 5 different projects and then stitch them together using Aggregator. I want to publish both an APP file for Mac users and an EXE file for PC folks. The APP file I create in Aggregator runs just fine, but the EXE file won't run. There are no error messages, it just doesn't do anything when you try to run the file.
Here is what I have tried (without success):
Both XP and Win 7 (won't run on either)
Installing newest version of Flash Player
Running the EXE file as an Admin
Oddly enough, if I publish each of the 5 projects as an EXE separately, they run just fine. My back-up plan is to make the PC users open each of the 5 modules separately, but I'd prefer to avoid this if I can.
Am I doing something wrong in Aggregator? It seems pretty simple and the APP file works...
Thanks for any help!
Jess

Hi Rod,
That was a great idea. Unfortunately, none of the 5 Aggregator EXE files (each with one of the 5 projects missing from it) worked. I double-checked the 5 EXE files that I published individually directly from Captivate (without Aggregator) and all of them work just fine. It's looking like I need to go with plan B and just force my users to return repeatedly to the CD-ROM to open each subsequent module.
I asked a friend to run the Aggregator-created APP file on his Mac and it wouldn't run for him even though it will run for me on my Mac. So I'm thinking I will need to publish each of the 5 projects as separate APP files as well and the Mac and PC folks will be in the same boat.
Thanks,
Jess

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.

Mov files won't sync /

Ok - I just got my new classic and my .mov files won't sync.
The videos are showing and playing in iTunes - but are "grayed out" on my iPod movie tab. (I can check the boxes, but they don't transfer/sync)
Here's a screen capture of what I mean :
http://tinypic.com/r/2vnkmkk/3
I've tried resetting already.
Message was edited by: BBrendan

Figured it out - I wanted to "create an ipod version" of the video from the advanced tab in itunes - but couldn't do it until I had created an account at the itunes store.
Once I'd created the account, the option became available.

HDV4 in a .mov file won't play back using any software

Issue:
I had 4 DVDs sent to me containing a bunch of .mov files that won't play back in any of the following apps:
QuickTime 7 Pro (includes Mpeg2 codec from Apple's Web site) - sends me to Apple.com's QT plugins page
Mpeg Streamclip - loads only some on batch import, but mostly displays white and plays the audio
HandBrake - Says not a valid source
VLC Player - error says that HDV4 files cannot be played
QuickTime Player - says format isn't a format that QT recognizes
I need to get this into a format usable by FCE. I'm running the most up-to-date 10.6 Snow Leopard, and the last version of FCE. How can I do this without losing my current version of iTunes or Final Cut Express?
Vent:
As videographers gradually move to hard-drive based cameras, their ability to submit their footage becomes more and more difficult. As a result, we get DVDs, flash drives, 64 GB memory sticks, and more. It seems like each one uses a different file format, and every format is proprietary. Where is a standards committee when you need one? Where is the open-source format?

My GoPro .mov files won't import in new version of iMovie.

I have 100GB of amazing video from my new GoPro Hero4. I used the GoPro Studio software to export and convert the footage on to my iMac. I created a movie on iMovie and decided to update to the newest version when I downloaded Yosemite. For some reason all of my clips and edits are there with the sound, but there is no video. Both in the project and the event. I've also tried importing my footage again, and it won't accept it. It worked yesterday on the older version of iMovie. What's going on? Does it not like .mov files? Is GoPro footage no longer acceptable when it has been converted to a .mov?

I found out why you can't export 4K resolution in iMovie 10.0.06 ...(from apple's site):
http://help.apple.com/imovie/mac/10.0.6/#/move6e0cb2ad
To set the resolution of the shared movie: Choose an option from the Resolution pop-up menu.Unavailable resolutions appear dimmed.
Tip: You can export a 4K clip in its native resolution by selecting a 4K clip in the browser.
To set the output quality of the shared movie: Choose an option from the Quality pop-up menu.To manually set the output quality of the shared movie, choose Custom from the Quality pop-up menu, and drag the slider to set the target bit rate.As you drag the slider, the estimated file size that appears below the preview thumbnail is updated.
So you can export a single 4K clip from the browser at its native size, but not the project.
This now makes sense to me because I have been trying every way to export a couple of goPro hero4 and gh4 4K clips in a project without any luck. You can export it in proRes but only at 1080p.
Sadly, no 4K exporting in iMovie.

QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

.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 files won't Import in Premiere Pro 1.5

Hi
I just got a Zodak zi8.
When I try to import the MOV files, the importer reports a "generic error".
It doesn't matter the quality of video I shoot. HD, 720 60 frames, 720 30 frames. It doesn't read it.
They play in Quicktime, they play in Windows Media.
They just won't register in Premiere Pro 1.5.
I'm using a Toshiba Satelite, Windows 7 plenty of memory and ram.
I searched through the forums, but found no answers.
Can I not use these files in Premiere?
Thanks!

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.

.mov file won't import on PC. File imports on other PCs in office.

I am getting a "The file has no audio or video stream." The file opens and plays on all video players present on my PC and is able to be imported on another PC in the office. I have the most up to date version of Premiere Pro. Any reason why the .mov flle won't open?

Hi titodestro,
Thanks for posting on Adobe forums.
Please check if you have Apple QuickTime player installed on your system.
if not please install it from this link : https://www.apple.com/in/quicktime/download/
Please update if this works.

MOV files won't play on Windows computers

I have a number of MOV files (shot in full 1080 resolution) that won't play on a Windows PC. When I attempt to open them I get a warning stating that Quicktime may need extra files (or plugins?) in order to play the file. When I select the link it takes me to a page with all sorts of other providers such as DivX. With that said, what is the best format to enable smooth playback on a Windows machine?

I am in the same boat. I need to view AVCHD files that were converted to .mov by iMovie on a PC.
I think it is mainly because iMovie isn't really compatible with AVCHD so it converts it to .mov.
But it is not a normal .mov!
Apple loves to help you go from PC to MAC but when you try to go back again, God help you.
I refused to pay the price for a new MacBook so bought a core i7 laptop for less than the cheapest MacBook(white)!
I am starting to believe that Apple suck!
Don't even get me started on the iPhoto and iTunes issues to change back!
