Movies not automatically playing
Hello.
I'm having trouble getting movies to automatically play in my keynote presentations. I'm using Keynote '08 and iMovie '11. I've tried exporting the movies in various formats and at various sizes. Exported through the media browser, exported to my hard drive and imported from there, etc...
I've gone to the quicktime tab in the inspector and it's not checked off to play on click. I've had it work a couple of times where the movie will play automatically, but can't get it to work anymore.
Thanks.
Darren
If you're publishing to HTML5, you're going to get a play button. You can insert an image to display alongside the play button (so it's not just button on a white field), or you can change the html code to skip the play button. There's an explanation for changing the html at the end of this thread: Re: Can you embed HTML code into a Captivate project?

I have a master keynote presentation that hyperlinks to other keynote presentations. The called keynote presentations open, but do not automatically play even though I have marked them to automatically play upon open. What am I doing incorrectly?
Automatically Play on open, has the same function as pressing the play button in the tool bar.
Once the presentation is playing, it will move to the next slide depending on
how you have set the options in:
Inspector > Document > Presentation
the choices to advance to the next slide are:
normal - requires a keyboard press or a muse click to advance
Hyperlink - requires the mouse to click on an object with a hyperlink
Recorded - plays back using the recorded narration sound track
Self-playing - will advance according to the options in the delay times set in
Inspector > Document > Presentation -
I have had my ibook for approx 6 months now, and even though I have set the DVD player options to player a DVD on insertion, it's just not happening. Can anyone suggest anything I can do to get it working as it should?
Thanks!
ibookI would try going to System Preferences CDs & DVDs pane, then set "When you insert a video DVD" to something else, such as "Ignore." After verifying that inserting a DVD does nothing except mount the disk to the desktop, reset it back to "Open DVD Player."
Sometimes, rewriting the preference file gets it working again. -

Quicktime menu visible when automatically playing movie at startup
I am setting up a quicktime movie to automatically play full screen at startup. (It's for a video installation).
My problem is that the mouse (which I disconnected) is registering in the top left corner (which I believe is the mac default). This makes my quicktime menu visible. I don't want to see the menu, I want only to see my movie playing full screen.
Is there a way to hide the quicktime menu? Or reposition the mouse (w/o actaully moving it manually).
Thanks for any insight anyone might have!
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9) Quicktime Pro 7.1.5
G5 QuadYou're going to love this:
http://osaxen.com/files/extrasuites1.1.html
It's a background application that can do a lot of AppleScript things, one of which is to move the mouse. The script it uses for doing that reads:
tell application "Extra Suites"
ES move mouse {100, 100}
end tell
Extra Suites doesn't have to be running when you first run the script, so just add those lines to your startup AppleScript.
ps. it's free to try, $10 to register, which you'll want to do to avoid the license dialog sitting on top of your movie! -
I can't figure out how to keep sites from automatically playing audio and video.
Internet Explorer has (or used to have anyway) an option to not automatically play multimedia content in web pages. I can't figure out how do this in Firefox to keep every third web site from sodomizing the music I'm listening to. This option is desperately needed.
This add-on has been removed by its author. Does anyone know of another one that does basically the same thing? I have searched add-ons & googled, but just keep getting referenced to this no-longer-available software. Help!

Videos and Movies not play right
Vids not play right (distorted), Audo (this time) OK though.
What do?
(Why do the vids not have their own list as before in library?)Which ever one of these changes I made allowed the vids to work, but I do not know which one it was since I did both one right after the other and then applied, OK, closed QT and then checked vids.
Which one is most likely?
Disable Direct3D video acceleration in QuickTime
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Open the QuickTime control panel.
Click the Advanced tab.
Deselect Enable Direct3D video acceleration in the Video section as shown here:
Click OK.
Disable DirectX in QuickTime
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Open the QuickTime control panel.
Click the Advanced tab.
Select Safe mode (GDI only) in the Video section as shown here:
The Vids worked before the 7 update!
Why I have to change all this and IT not automatically allow to work with the update?
Why do I have to make all these changes and adjustments to make IT work again with 7?
Where is the "videos" section like "music" is under Library? (There use to be one, where is it now? I guess it is called "movies" now, but my music videos are not in there anymore, why and why only movies and not vids too?) -
Automatic play reverts back to main menu at end of movie.
I want the DVD to autoplay, without having to make a menu. But automatic play always reverts back to the main menu at end of movie. How do I make an autoplay with no menu at all?
Hi
a. Not possibly
b. By faking a "Non-menu" one can get that impression.
• Black background slide
• No animation
• No audio
c. You can select loop. Then it doesn't end on a menu but keeps on playing.
d. I think that if You use the OneStep-DVD You'll get a non-menu at the start
(auto-starting) and no menu at end.
I would do. Copy movie back to a miniDV tape (Camera) and use OneStep-DVD from this.
There might be other ways to do this.

IMAC DVD Player does not recognizing dvd movie . I have an IMAC (10.7.4) using DVDPlayer (vers. 5500.26.11) and it will not recognize/play a dvd movie...it thinks it is a blank dvd. The IMAC will play rented dvd movies. The dvd movie plays fine on my Mac Book Pro (10.6.8) on the Pro's DVDPlayer (vers.5.4) abd in my external Sony DVD Player The dvd move was made/burned on a PC. Why will a dvd movie play on my Macbook Pro and not my IMAC?
Hello:
This is not an area I have much experience in......I rarely insert DVDs and I have never had a similar problem.
When the DVD is in the drive (and DVD players is open) click on File>get disk info.

I have a MacBook Air and I need to free up space...
1) I have three series of a tv show on my itunes which are taking up loads of memory - see image - I want to move these movie files onto a Flash Drive. However I do not want to move my itunes Music onto the flash drive, only my Movies, and want to keep my music on my hard drive.
Is this possible?
2) I have managed to copy the movie files onto the flash drive, however when I tried to play one to check that they were loaded properly it didn't have a program that could run the file (they have copied over in a m4V format). Do the MacBook Air's not have a separate program other than itunes that can play movies? If so, is there a program I can get to solve this problem? I went onto the App Store to see if there was something I could download, but all the apps were for creating DVD's, not simply playing them.
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
Thank you so much for any answers posted.
Best,

If you can play the movies in iTunes, you should be able to open the movie files using Quicktime, which should already be on your system. If you have already transferred the files to your flash drive, open the flash drive in Finder, and hold control when you click on the movie file (or right click if you have the enabled) and select Open With Quicktime Player. This should play the movie directly from the flash drive.
If you want to set all .m4v files to open with Quicktime by just double clicking on the file, you can follow the steps here: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/2573/os_x_how_to_change_default_application_to_op en_file_type/
3) If 1. & 2. questions are solvable, will it then be safe to delete the movies from my itunes?
You can move the TV shows to your flash drive by dragging them from the iTunes window to your flash drive in Finder or the flash drive icon on the desktop. When you are sure everything is transferred over to your external device, you can delete the movie from iTunes. I recommend playing the videos from the flash drive first before deleting them in iTunes.
To delete the videos from iTunes, you can highlight them and press the delete key on your keyboard. In the next prompt, you would want to move it to the trash so that it is deleted from your internal hard drive.
I hope that helps! -
Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help
It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
BY THE WAY, KARLI--
PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion. -
Playing movie on tv; playing but not showing up; what output, DVD?
1st time trying to play movie on tv; playing but not showing up; do I need to change output? Only DVD & DVR shown. Thx
You need to provide more information. How are you connecting your iPad to the TV. Are you using an Apple TV 2, a component AV cable, a composite AV cable or the digital AV cable?

I am not computer savvy. I have a second generation itouch and have never had any problems with it until now. When I try to play certain songs, it will not play the song and skip to the next song selection. When I try to play certain videos, the message "This movie could not be played" appears. I contacted a tech spec who said it was possibly a format problem. How do i fix this?
This might sound weird, but here's an idea which worked for me re music that was newly added to itunes and showed up in my ipod but wouldn't play - I simply played the tracks in itunes first, just a second of time or so will do it, not the whole track, then connect the ipod and sync again and this time they played - hope this helps.

Movie not playing in Videos app
Hi!
I bought a movie on the iTunes store (Monthy Python's +Life of Brian+, even though I'm not sure that might be helpful to know) and synced it to my iPod touch (2nd G). Up to then, everything seems fine, the space taken up by the movie appears on the barline at the bottom of the iPod screen on iTunes. But when I get into the Videos app on the iPod, it says I have no videos at all. I've tried restarting the iPod, restauring it too, uninstalling the video and reinstalling it, but nothing works.
For what I read, such a movie (.m4v, video format H.264) should be read properly, shouldn't it? It was downloaded from the iTunes store! Can somebody help me there?
Thank you very much,
JPeven if it's an HD, there should have been another video, the standard one, is downloaded so that the video you bought can be played in your ipod touch. HD is for PC's, and apple tv's.
I have almost the same problem. It's just that the movie i bought from itunes is shown in the videos, but everytime i try to watch it, "This movie could not be played." pops up.
I tried everything. nothing happend. restore, deauthorize/authorize, delete it from my ipod, then put it back again, turn my ipod off for one day. -
Why is my itunes downloaded (rented) movie not playing correctly? It keeps freezing
I rented a movie through iTunes and am trying to watch it right now and it keeps freezing or playing the sound but not the picture...it's very frustrating and iTunes only gives you 24 hours once you play the movie to watch it before it is gone and I'd really like to watch it and not loose my money. Does iTunes have a better support system that allows me to talk to an actually Apple Tech??
I am having the same problem - it has happened to me twice now on different movies. The video player completely freezes and is useless until the movie that was playing expires the following day. Apple gave my a credit in iTunes, but I would like to be able to watch a movie all the way thorugh, not get another free movie that I can only watch for 10 minutes...
