Mp4 Videos Crashing

I'm trying to play a few videos in .mp4 file format but they won't play and almost immediately crash QT every time. Here's the file info:
Kind: MPEG 4
File format: .mp4
Codecs: H.264, AAC
Channel Count: 2
Any ideas for how to remedy this? Thanks!

Hrmmm, I've seen exactly that sort of green screen when avi files with msmpeg4v1 video are played while the msmpeg4v1 component and either of a few other components are installed in /Library/QuickTime - I think the other components were DivX and 3ivX but I'm not positive (and pulling those out and re-launching QuickTime Player with just the msmpeg4v1 component installed worked fine) and in any event, none of those should have anything to do with an mp4 file if that is what it really is... do you have anything else in /Library/QuickTime or the ~/Library/QuickTime folder within your user home folder?

Adobe Bridge CC crashed cannot open folders with MP4 video

My Bridge is crashing often, after trouble free for a long time. This morning I notice why, it will crash when a folder with with MP4 video is present. Video downloaded from Canon camera in MOV files are ok but as soon as this is converted to MP4 by Photoshop, Bridge will crash

Hello,
This has been happening to me too and I have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits with 8 GB RAM and Intel i5 dual-core @ 2.3GHz.
I think from all previous messages this happens regardless of the system running underneath - maybe just on Windows systems.
I thought it was about cache so I bumped my cache to its maximum and it still crashes. My cache folder is on an external HDD and space is not the issue.
I had my don't-process-files-larger-than 4096 MB because I thought it was about the amount of data it can process per file. I just changed it to 1024 and so far it has been working fine (no crashes). I invite you to try this:
Preferences » Thumbnails » Do Not Process Files Larger Than 1024 MB.
Maybe my assumptions were the other way around, may the approach of "I don't care about files larger than" 1 GB is better than to consume all.
Nevertheless, I hope Adobe has time to test this and come up with an answer.
Best regards,

IPod Nano 3g no longer syncs (some) mp4 videos when they used to sync

iTunes 9.0.3.15 with iPod Nano 3g (1.1.3) on AMD Windows 7 64 bit
Videos which used to play on the iPod, no longer will sync to the ipod. They used to sync when I had Windows XP but after a disk crash and now using Windows 7 64 bit, they dont.
The videos play just fine in itunes, they just refuse to sync.
Some videos that I have do go, but there is no obvious difference between them (file names, formats, etc).
I have reset the ipod to factory.
item type mp4 video
Video
frame 320x176
data rate 256kbps
total bitrate 375kbps

Any suggestions as to how I can diagnose this, are welcomed.

Ok, I may seem like a noob, cos I am.
But, I did discover the 'create an iPod/iPhone' version' (right click the video file)
It creates a nice small file (about 30% of the original), in a location I cannot control and ends up showing me two identical entries in iTunes that I cannot pick the difference between without doing a 'Get Info' and looking at the filename!
Best of all, this nice small file has NO Video.
I failed to find any settings in which I could nominate the target device, after all, they all have different screen sizes, you would think I could optimise it for my devices screen size.
I even transferred the converted content (after finding it) to a real OS (linux) and mplayer spits about too many audio packets and vlc simply plays sound.
And Apple software is supposed to be user friendly...

Embedded MP4 videos not playing in iOS Safari

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with embedded MP4 videos (e.g. YouTube videos) not playing correctly in Safari. When I try to play one, I get one of two problems:
1. On my (first gen) iPad, Safari usually crashes.
2. On my iPhone 4, videos will load but only play audio, not video, though when I tap on the screen the "play" and "pause" symbols appear.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, I fixed it. Go to some embedded Flash video, click to run and then right click to get Global Settings for Flash. Go into Storage and make sure you aren't blocking any data from being stored on your computer. At the very least choose the "ask me" setting. (For good measure I also went into Advanced and clicked to Delete All Data associated with Flash. But when I restored Block for data storage the videos stopped working, so that seems to be the answer.) I'd be interested to hear if this works for others.

MP4 Video Handling / Media Player

Hi-
I'm using Lightroom 3 on Windows 7 64. It handles and plays .mov files just fine through Quicktime.
However, I picked up a new waterproof camera that saves video in .mp4 format. Here, LR shows a distorted thumbnail for all videos (just the first few lines, then a small green spot, then grey). If you try to play them, Media Player will crash immediately and not work again until Windows is restarted.
However, Media Player plays the mp4 videos just fine in Explorer.
I don't want to associate mp4 video with Quicktime, because it is terrible at playing larger files.
Anyone see this before?
M

Update - converting the files to .avi files works in media player when launched in LR3. So the problem apparently is specifically mp4 format.
Not a solution, though, because .avi files are way too big..

MPEG4(mp4) video plays audio only

Hi all,
Being noobie here, I have searched and it seems I am the only one confused by this. I have a new Xmas pressie 8800 Sirocco, all else seems great. BUT
Whenever I receive an MP4 video (even one that is playing fine on friends phones) I get good audio and a black screen with just a static 'film-clip' icon i.e. no video track.
This casme to my notice because all 3GP videos I receive have really distoted audio.
Hurumph. Any help or ideas please?
Thanks :-)
There's a fine line between genius and insanity.
I have erased this line, completely.

jerry_lewis, many thanks!
That and koRngear's post have set me on the trail of knowledge
After much frustration I have a definitive answer to my (and maybe others yet to come) problem with this phone.
It crashes the phone's OS or processor if the AAC audio codec is used to encode a video. (even though the AAC codec is a part of the 3gp sec)
Using the AMR_NB codec produces AWFUL biscuit tin rattle soundtrack.
I have verified this completely by removing all other variables (i think ) and through repetition.
Either I have a faulty Sirocco OR the Sirocco's handling of video soundtracks is (sounds like) plucked.
There's a fine line between genius and insanity.

Incompatibility between Lightroom 4 .mp4 videos and Internet Explorer 9?

I have been unable to get any Lightroom-produced .mp4 videos (slideshow module) to work as native video in Internet Explorer 9 (using the HTML5 video tag). Re-exporting them through Premiere appears to solve the problem.
Has anyone else run into this? They worked fine on my development system (Windows 7 64 bit with a bunch of codecs installed), but I received complaints from someone and testing at Adobe Browser Lab demonstrated the same symptom (ie the Lightroom videos didn't load and the Premiere rendered version did.
Annoying. :-(

Hi,
The process of clearing IE 9 Crashing issues is very simple.
Run IE 9 without any plug-in, add-ons or other extension.
That is, if the software is yet to be installed.
If it has already been installed then disable the add-ons.
It is important to check what are the add ons that cause the crashing if that is the case; this can be done by clicking on ‘Start’, then on ‘All programs’, then on ‘Accessories’, then on ‘System tools’.
Click on Internet explorer again and again click on the ‘Tools’ option.
Follow this by clicking on ‘Manage add-ons’.
There will be an option under show: all add ons.
Open the option and click on any add on and press the ‘CTRL + A’ on the keyboard.
That should help select all the add ons; once that is done simply disable all the add ons and click ‘Close’.
Finally close Internet Explorer and open it again.
At this stage if it continues to open and work correctly then the add-on enabled manually will work properly and will stay! The constant problems of the browser crashing can be avoided.

Previewing/Playing HD SHQ MP4 video in Timeline is choppy and static.

Previewing and playing back my HD SHQ MP4 video from my Sony Xacti HD video camera in the Timeline is choppy. I have to export to QT in order for me to see the video smoothly.
I have crammed the Power Mac full of RAM (8GB) and have four external FW800 drives, and have set all the system settings to playback at full quality, but it still is choppy. Is there anything I can do? Or is this HD video just too much for even this machine?
Thanks for any help.

It doesn't matter how fast your hardware configuration is.
mp4/h.264 is not an editing codec, but a delivery codec.
Look at your easy set ups. There are none for mp4/h.264.
Both formats are computational intensive and to decode them for editing is nearly impossible.
convert to DVCProHD or pro res or AIC. Those are editing formats.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate. When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet) in full screen mode just fine. When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing. I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse. Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2

Please help, I am trying to split a HD mp4 video into two parts using Quicktime 10.2, running Mountain Lion. I use trim then export but it doesn't give the movie option as a format. What would you suggest i do?

I'm not sure why you're using a FAT32 drive, but using ExFAT instead of FAT32 would be a better overall choice as it doesn't have the 4 Gig limit.

Options for iTunes library - quickly growing with mp4 videos

Hello all,
Here is my dilemma. I have a large library of MP4 videos (movies) in my iTunes library, which is growing daily. These are not iTunes purchases. I plan to unload these files to an external HDD. Home Sharing is the main reason why I use iTunes for my Movie library to begin with.
Here is my dilemma. I cannot, to my knowledge, run a partially referenced iTunes library- where Music is automatically copied to the iTunes Media folder, but Videos are not (but rather referenced on the external hard drive).
1) Is there any way around this besides unchecking "automatically copy to iTunes folder" everytime I add a Video to my iTunes Library
2) Would I be better off creating two seperate iTunes libraries? One for the referenced video files on the EHD and one for my music, which I want to remain on my internal drive.
3) Any other plausible solutions?
I hope I'm being clear. Just looking for the best plan of action. Thanks in advance

1) Is there any way around this besides unchecking "automatically copy to iTunes folder" everytime I add a Video to my iTunes Library
No, not automatically, not with how iTunes presently works.
2) Would I be better off creating two seperate iTunes libraries? One for the referenced video files on the EHD and one for my music, which I want to remain on my internal drive.
No. I used to think it would but at least with my old iTunes version any libraries made in my user account share the same single user preferences. Unless you disable the "automatically copy to" feature I am pretty sure either library will put the items in the same media folder because they both use the one set of preferences settings. You can check this by making a second test library but don't add anything to it. Then check advanced preferences from yur main library and this test library and see if they point to the same media folder.
3) Any other plausible solutions?
Do it the way Michael Allbritton outlines, or leave it set to organize automatically but put the movies on the external drive, then add them back while holding down the option key. This overrides the copy-to function.
Note, splitting media storage this way will work but has disadvantages. If links break for any reason, iTunes will not automatically search for ones that are not part of its media folder organization. If you need to move files to a different drive in the future it will be somewhat tricky as you are likely to end up with a lot of broken links. There may be ways to avoid this but it won't be automatic.

How to download mp4 video files directly from camera to iPad mini?

I used the Lightning Card Reader but the Mp4 video files did not transfer. Is there an APP for this?

Hi, You need to rename the file with only 8 letters/numbers in the name plus the prefix eg 12345678.mp4 same needed for photos 12345678.jpg :-) Good luck

How can I get an mp4 video running on iPad Mini?

How can I get an mp4 video running on iPad Mini, which is already in the iTunes File?

Pad2, the new iPad Supported Video Formats & Movie Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High Profile level 4.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats;
Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How can i get an MP4 video file to work in iMovie 08'?

How do i go about acheiving this?

Autoplay is not universally supported by all devices. Many smatphone data plans can't handle the burden of preloaded and auto playing media. There's nothing you can do to change this b/c mobile devices simply ignore the parameter.   All that said, why are you still using player plugins? You don't need them with HTML5 video.

How do I get an MP4 video file to autoplay instead of download

I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5. I am trying to embed an .mp4 video on my website to autoplay. When I take it to "Live View" the file plays - if I use the "Play" function in Properties I get the following message - "Unable to find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in both the "Configurations/Plugins" folder, and the plugins folder for each of your selected browsers." When I publish the page and go to my website to view, the video does not play - instead, the file downloads to my computer. What can I do to remedy this issue?
