.mp4 movie cant see video

Hi, I have an HD .mp4 movie, that when I play it in Quicktime, I hear the audio but the video is black...aka no video. Whats the fix? Am I missing a plugin?

Ok, I installed VLC player and it plays perfectly on that... so why doesn't Quicktime not play the actual video? Also, I want the movie to play in Front Row, but in Front Row, when I choose it, it says it can't play the format. So why do Quicktime and Front Row have issues? I have other .mp4 HD Movies that play fine in both...

  • Mp4 movie burning to video dvd with fails

    Hey dear friends
    happy new year to all and thanks for the support
    Problem I have :
         -Toast 7 titanium
         - OSX 10.5.8 but also with 10.8.5.
         - Power PC G5 as well as MacBookPro
         - mp4 movie from eyetv
         - burning to DVD Video with toast
    file size < 6Byte ok
    file size > 6 GByte DVD shows jumps of picture continuesly as well with DVD player as well on MAC
    I need to have movie on DVD to get it run on the DVD player ( no double layer function)
    What to change to get DVD running??
    I'm pleased already on your feedbacks
    FJ

    Sorry but Apple has placed heavy copy protection on the videos from the iTunes music store. It is not possible to do this. The only way you can burn it is as a file on a back-up cd or dvd but it will only be a file and not be playable.
    Hope this helps

  • FCP HD cant see video NO WHERE!!!

    Ok here it is last night I imported video in, and now today I went to start working on it and now I cant see nothing, no video at all. I reinstalled my FCP but nothing. When I put clips into my time line all I see is black, but I can hear the sound. I played it throught the camera but nothing. I opened up another project that was working that I looked at the night before to check on somthing, and today I can't see it. If I double click on the clip in the time line it comes up where I can edit it (like speed and what not) and it will play but its slow. Can anybody help me, this is a hot job that has to be done in like 2 days. HELP PLEASE!!! I NEED MY FCP ASAP!!!!!! :'(

    First thing to do is select your canvas and press the w key and see if your picture pops up. Or click up the little pulldown and select Image or Image + Wireframe (not just Wireframe).
    If that doesn't help, borrowing from the ever popular Shane's Stock answers:
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the FILE menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    5) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    6) Cycle power to the deck or camcorder
    7) Shut down the Mac and then restart (couple this with cycling power to the deck or camcorder)
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

  • Convert avi to iPod mp4, mov to iPod video, mp3/mp4 to aac for iPod & iPhon

    I think this is too simple, but can't find a better one.
    1. Download iPod Video Converter for Mac at http://www.download.com/iPod-Video-Converter-for-Mac/3000-22004-10717657.html?tag=pdpprod and run it on your Apple computer
    2. Load files you'd like to convert
    Add the video or audio files you'd like to convert by clicking "Add" button in the main interface.
    3. Set output format
    In "Profile" drop-down menu, you may select output format. The software allows setting different output formats according to different files.
    Tips: by selecting iPod format (*.mp4) in "Profile" drop-down menu, the software will output mp4 file playable on your iPod.
    4. Set General conversion mode (Optional)
    After selecting certain output format, you can choose ‘General’ tab on the right top which will show its general standard. By clicking certain settings such as 'Video Quality', ' Audio Quality', 'Output filename', you may set it.
    Tips: If you like, select the output folder by clicking the ‘Browse...’ button.
    5. Preview and Trim function
    After selecting a video file, you can have a preview of the file on the right bottom preview window. And you can set Start/End of the output files as you like by clicking ‘Trim’ button and edit in the Trim pop-up window.
    6. Set Advance conversion mode (Optional)
    After selecting certain output format, you can choose ‘Advance’ tab on the right column which will show its advance standard. By clicking certain settings such as 'Start Time', 'Video Size', 'Bit rate' and so on, you may set it.
    7. Start converting
    Finally, click "Convert" in the File menu to start converting. And after a successful conversion, the info "Completed" will show.

    I bought Quicktime pro so I could convert my AVI files to watch them on my iPod video.Purchasing QT Pro does not add any more AVI support to QT than you have with the basic player. By this I mean, if you can watch it, you cant convert it. In addition, since some AVI components are not available for the Mac at all and others are m=not available for OS X, you are automatically doomed to not being able to convert "all possible" AVI format combinations.
    The program converts (exports) about half the movie and then pops up a window that says it needs "more components" to finish the job.Since you indicate you can convert half the file, it sounds as if you may have installed a proprietary codec which does work but have failed to pay the registration fee to completely "unlock" the export codec. Suggest you find out which codec you are using (e.g. Flip4Mac, DivX, etc.), find out how much they want, and decide if you want to pay up.
    This person would be grateful to any kind soul who can take her by the hand and walk her through the process of getting AVI movies onto my iPod video!
    My best advice would be to simply not use these files and allow them the dignity of a long overdue death. However, if you must use them, then learn how to distinguish the different audio and video codecs that can be used in combination in this file container. (Us things like the Finder "Get Info," QT "Show Movie Info." QT "Show Movie Properties," or similar media player windows to for this purpose.) Next, google the codec to see if Mac components are available. Lastly, install the available codecs most needed. The problem here is if you install too few, then some files will likely not play. Install to many codecs and usually create conflicts which also prevent files from playing. (I.e., you may need to determine which components are "essential" to you and which you can live without).

  • I cant see videos

    I dont know where is the email to make questions.
    I did buy my palm but I cant play my videos, when I went to Sprint Store they explained that palm doesnt have that feature.
    I've had my spc 6700 and always I could listen my music and watch my videos, but in the palm advertisement shows that palm have more features (except watch videos)   why?
    I bad suprised for this answer from sprint.   I just bought the phone and I am checking the new ipod that is cheaper than your palm.
    thanks.

    According to the User Guide for the Pre:
    You can view videos in the MPEG4, H.263, H.264, MP4, M4V, 3GP, 3GPP, 3G2, and 3GP2 formats. Videos play on your phone in landscape orientation.
    So the first thing to confirm would be that your vidoes are in a format that plays on the Pre.
    Next, you would need to copy them to a location that the Pre video player looks in. Unfortunately, I do not know where that is, but maybe it is covered in another thread here or in the support pages.

  • Cant see videos on web with QT 7.1.1

    please help me
    i cant watch any videos on websites with quicktime 7.1.1
    i just get the logo with the question mark!
    im using firefox 1.5.0.4
    thanx~
    barry

    Hello,
    I, too, have run into problems with Firefox 1.5.0.4 and the latest QuickTime update, 7.1.1. After reading many discussion postings, Mozilla help, and trying to backtrack to QT 6.5.2, I still got the dimmed Q with a question mark all over trying to use Firefox.
    I ended up updating to QuickTime 7.1.1 and using Safari as my main browser for a few days. I continued to play with Firefox and may have stumbled across a solution. I had tried moving the "QuickTime Plugin.webplugin" folder into a created "disabled.plugins" folder in the Internet Plugins folder of the Library folder earlier with no success. Tonight, just for grins, I decided to move the "QuickTime Plugin.plugin" into the "disabled.plugins" folder along with the "QuickTime Plugin.webplugin" folder. When I restarted Firefox, it seemed to be back to normal. I then put both plugins back in the "Internet Plugins" folder, started Firefox and tried a couple of sites. I didn't notice any dimmed Q's with a question mark and GameChannel worked for me!
    I hope this helps because I really like Firefox!

  • Cant see videos in the video foler on N97

    i have placed videos on my n97 and at 1st they showed up in the tv and video folder but then the phone stoped showing new videos i added the only way it would work is if i completley reset the phone which i dont want to do every time a put a new video on my phone. the videos will play but i have to go to file manager to play them even when i placed the same videos on the phone which did work at the start. has any 1 had the same problem or has a fix solution

    One thing to try is to use Photos to play your videos ( I know it doesn't make a lot of sense, but try it).
    Another thing to try is to RENAME the folder called :
    \Private\10005A3E
    This folder should be in the Mass Memory.
    Then re-open Video and TV and wait to see if it finds the videos.
    640K Should be enough for everybody
