"Movie" template - odd quicktime controls & login

I have created a web site in iWeb 08, and on one part of the site I have links to six pages that use the "movie" template. Three of these have 640x480 videos, about a 50MB file, and three of them have 320x240 videos, about 25MB files. I have password security set at the site level for these pages.
On the Mac:
1) Clicking the link to go to any of the movie pages throws up the login dialogue box. I don't have to put in my password, if I just click login on the blank dialogue, it proceeds to the page. But why throw up the dialogue at all when I'm already authenticated at the site level? This seems to be something about Safari, as Firefox works properly.
2) The quicktime controls on the embedded movie don't work as they should. Left-clicking the play button does nothing. However, right clicking plays the movie. Everything works as if the mouse buttons are switched. I can, however, double left-click in the movie and it plays/pauses. This is true whether I am in Safari or Firefox.
On the PC using Internet Explorer 7:
1) The security works as expected - no dialogue for the movie pages, just for the site as you would think.
2) The quicktime controls work like you'd expect.
Bottom line - the site works as I designed it on PC, but not Mac. Is there something wrong with the Quicktime plugin for Safari and Firefox? Does Safari have issues with the security from iWeb?
BTW, I am at the newest versions of all products, including Leopard, Quicktime, Safari, Firefox. The PC I tested with is running Windows XP.
Anyone with similar problems or insights into this problem?
Thanks!

Long story.
It helps to solve one problem at a time.
First remove the protection.
Then make the movies work.
Also it helps if you provide a link to the pages. Most of us here are not clairvoyant.

Adding a movie in iWeb using a movie template.

I wanted to add a small QuickTime movie to my web site.
I added a movie template page to the site and then dropped the movie to the box. In iWeb, I am able to click on the play button and the movie plays just fine. But when I publish the site and upload it, where the movie should be is just a Q for QuickTime.
So then I made a plain box with the enable as a hyperlink and a link to the movie. Just like I would to do a pdf file.
My question is how do I get the movie page to work? It looks better with the movie page.

Hide the title bar of a movie window like QuickTime X

Love the feature of QuickTime X of not showing the title bar/the control bar of a movie window (still waiting for Pro version, though. Is it coming out at all?)
I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way/tweak to hide the title bar of a iTunes movie window like QuickTime X.
Thanks.

What child window are you referring to? Do you mean a browser window opened with web.show_document?
If so, you can use javascript to hide browser toolbars and so on. Search the forum for some javascript examples where windows are opened with toolbar=no.

Interactive slideshow with custom Quicktime control

Hi
I have huge amount of pics that I want to present. Therefore I decided to do it with a Quicktime Movie slideshow. Instead of using the given Quicktime Controls in the Property Inspector I rather would like my own control buttons. I tried it with the Quicktime Behaviors from the Library. The play button worked fine, but the forward and backward button did not. What might be the problem?
Regards
Simon

That QT button behavior won't do what you want. It does a lot different things but its not designed to move one frame forward or back. A behavior like this wil do the job. Depending on your QT movie, you may need to adjust the number of frames that are moved each time the button is used. This is the next frame behavior:
property QTSprite
property thisDuration
property thisMember
property customCursor
property thisSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionList
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#QTSprite,[#comment:"enter the Quicktime sprite number:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
myPropList.addProp(#customCursor,[#comment:"pick a cursor:",#format:#cursor,#default:280])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
thisMember = sprite(QTSprite).member
thisDuration = thisMember.duration
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = customCursor
end
on endSprite me
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = 0
end
on mouseUp me
if sprite(QTSprite).movieTime < thisDuration then
sprite(QTSprite).movieTime = sprite(QTSprite).movieTime + 1
end if
end
and this is the previous button behavior:
property QTSprite
property thisMember
property customCursor
property thisSprite
on getPropertyDescriptionList
myPropList = [:]
myPropList.addProp(#QTSprite,[#comment:"enter the Quicktime sprite number:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
myPropList.addProp(#customCursor,[#comment:"pick a cursor:",#format:#cursor,#default:280])
return myPropList
end
on beginSprite me
thisSprite = me.spriteNum
thisMember = sprite(QTSprite).member
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = customCursor
end
on endSprite me
sprite(thisSprite).cursor = 0
end
on mouseUp me
if sprite(QTSprite).movieTime > 1 then
sprite(QTSprite).movieTime = sprite(QTSprite).movieTime - 1
end if
end
Try these and see if they work for you.

Quicktime Controls Not Working in Browser

The Quicktime controls, play button, scrub bar, etc., do not work when I play a video in a browser. The controls display and react to clicks, but do not affect the playback of the video. I'm running 10.4.11 with QT plugin version 7.4 in Firefox 2.0.0.11.
It seems like this mostly occurs with Oreilly's Safari training videos. Other videos like Apple QT trailers play okay.
Firefox does play the video correctly sometimes which seems like its the first time during a day that I play it near as I can figure. Restarting Firefox doesn't help.
In Safari 3.0.4, the controls work with errors such as the play button rewinding the video.

Maybe this will give somebody else some clues. I'm trying to display .TIFF files within IE7 or Firefox using the appropritate plugin for each. I'm on Vista32. Have installed latest ITunes and QT. Seems to be a problem with file associations with QT. Vista associations show FF as default player for .TIFF (same thing if I switch to IE7). QT MIME settings agree that FF or IE7 are default app for .TIFF. In both FF and IE7, "opening" a .TIFF file with either IE7 or FF causes QT to get control of the browser window and does not display the .TIFF file (as it used to for both FF and IE7). The .TIFF file is opening correctly with other apps, only having a problem with browser plugins. Not sure how to fix this, so will probably give up on .TIFF files in browsers for a while and see if somthing in QT gets fixed. I'm using QT Player v7.6.4 (518.35)and FF v3.5.2 and IE7 with all maint. Evidence says QT is getting control even though it should not be and is getting in the way of valid plugins.
I can however, start IE7 and manually point to a .MOV file and QT uses the QT plugin and plays the .MOV file ok. The same thing happens with FF. Open FF and manually point to a .MOV file and QT plays it ok. The problem for me is QT getting in the way of .TIFF file displays. The QT troubleshooting page shows QT installed and running ok.

Quicktime controls

I have some movies, some made w/ H.265 codec, some with Animation codec (I doubt if that matters), which I am trying to embed in an HTML page. I have tried lots and lots of code, from very simple Object and Embed codes to more complicated code-sets.
No matter what I do, I cannot see the control strip, the Quicktime plug-in does not display the play/pause panel under the movie. Of course, I have set the controller attribute to "true" in my code.
The H.265 (codec) movies I made were created from iMovie. (These do not show the control strip either.) My browser is Safari, but I tried it in Mozilla and the result is the same. I tried both opening various HTML page attempts internally on my computer, and also tried uploading the files and opening the page from the internet.
Barring switching to a different plug-in to play a Quicktime movie (.mov), I have tried everything and searched the web for clues as to the source of the problem all day. Nothing seems to work.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
- Frustrated.

First, thanks for replying! (Just to have a bit of feedback from someone out there is truly appreciated.)
Here are 4 different html pages with different code which all play the movie - none display the control strip on my (Safari) browser however.

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

It does not matter where the reports are. If you can open them up in the CR designer (crw32.exe) you can open them using any CR SDK.

HT3775 I am trying to open a .mov file in "Quicktime" and it keeps saying it doesn't support the file.

I have made a movie in "Final Cut Pro X" saved it as a .mov file and "QuickTime" won't open it. It keeps saying that it doesn't recognize the file. Ironically there is another .mov file right next to it on the flash drive that opens just fine. I do notice that the one it does open looks like a little black box with a 'play' arrow button in it when I run the curser over it, but the one it doesn't open has a 'Quicktime' 'Q' in it.
I try to eject the flash drive and it says "Final Cut Pro X" is still using it, then it shows me a window that shows 6% progress. I am thinking maybe the movie is still loading. I really don't know.

Try VLC.

How can I control the volume in a Appletv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

How can I control the volume in a Apple Tv movie from my remote control App. In my IPad ?.

There is not now, nor has there ever been a version of flash for any iOS device.
Adobe has abandoned mobile flash, so there never will be.
Browsers like iswifter or photon may work for you, but don't hold your breath.
Check app store for an app of whatever game you want.

Try to open mov file with quicktime, says can't open pdf files.

Hi to everyone,
Suddenly I try to open a mov, any mov file, with quicktime 10.4 and some times opens the finder and nothing more, some times says that it cannot open one pdf document ( a document I actually have but never try to open with QT). some times QT says it canot open some png or jpg file.
But I double click mov files. And the incoherence is permanent, I mean that for the same movie file says it can't open the same pdf file, and in other file the same png, or the same jpg.. it depends on the mov file I try to open. Like if somewhere, somme kind of cache, adresse or reference is wrong.
this is the text of one of those messages when I double click a mov file:
"The document “phoenixRoomfillerB_v001_0104.jpg” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format."
And if I try again and again, at some point QT open only the finder window.
The weird thing is that on the finder window i can see the preview and play the preview. and the same mov files play well with VLC. And if I copy the mov file to my desktop it plays well unless QT start to open only the finder window, if that happens it does not work anymore with any file.
The files are on an external drive with 3 partitions.
And I make all the possible cleaning that I can:
I am the administrator of the imac and I am the only one to use it.
I am the owner of the volume
I use disk utility to check and everything is ok
I use onyx to clean as much as possible, cache, boot, volume structure, smart status, home folder permissions, kernel, extensions, QT components, etc. and everything works fine.

Try QT v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder.

How do I locate the quicktime control panel (to upgrade to quicktime pro) in Windows 7 home premium?

I just paid to upgrade QuickTime and received a registration code. Tho problem is there is no way to find the QuickTime control panel via the Windows 7 Home Premium control panel. How to I ovrcome this?
p.s. I'm a newbe to QuickTime :-)

Thanks Gary,
This does not help me... the instructions state:
1. Locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel
From the Windows Desktop, click on the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel, then locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel.
However, I cannot locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel on the Windows 7 control panel -- it's not listed anywhere in the available options.

Where is the movie template in GB 10.0.3?

Need to add music to a preexisting, pre shot movie. The video tutorials show an older version of GB, where the movie template appears in create a new project. Can not find that template on 10.0.3 version. All I found was movie under tracks. Is that the new template? If not, appreciate any help in setting up a movie template/project. Thanks.
OS: 10.9.5

Use any template to create a movie sound track.
With "File > Movie > Open Movie" add the movie to your Project.
This will show the movie, but not actually add it to the project.
The movie will start at bar 1, and you cannot shift it. The original sound track will show as locked.
Create your new sound track.
When you are done, use the command "File > Movie > Export Audio to movie". This will write the bounced song into your original movie file.

Can't open .mov files in quicktime anymore

I can't think of any system changes that I've made recently but a few days ago I was able to open .mov files with quicktime and now I can't. I get the following error when I try to open one. Error -1856: an unknown error occurred (filename.mov) I've uninstalled quicktime, rebooted and reinstalled with no luck. I've searched these forums and googled the error number but can't find anything. Does anyone know what might be going on? Thanks.

Actually, I can't open anything in quicktime anymore. I've tried opening avis, mov, mp4 and m4a files... all give the same error message and number. I've reinstalled both qt and itunes but no luck.

RH8 WebHelp "Can't Move Focus to the Control..." Error

While testing my help (primary layout is WebHelp) on my local
machine, the help books/topics freeze after a series of clicking
them open and closed. I'm not doing this rapidly or in a manner
unlike a regular user would. IE 6 gives me a page error. The
description reads "can't move focus to the control b/c it is
invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the
focus." The URL points to the whtdhtml.htm file.
I've searched the forum and when this problem came up before,
an answer was in a tech note. I read the TechNote rb_95432 on this
issue and it suggested editing the webhelp4.js file; however, I
don't think this file is generated by RoboHelp 8, as it doesn't
appear in my generated help files.
Is there a different file I should be looking at? Is this a
problem with my HTML that I should seek or an Adobe compilation
issue with IE 6? I recently upgraded my help project from RoboHelp
6 to RoboHelp 8 and am on a Windows XP machine.
