MPEG 2 component issues for Quicktime Pro

Hi,
I'm using Quicktime Pro 6.5.3 on the below computer. Since I upgraded to OSX 3.9, my MPEG 2 player component won't work. Apple recommended I just download the component again. I did so, but when I tried to install it, my computer couldn't do so (probably because this latest MPEG2 component is for Quicktime 7).
Then, I remembered that I still had the MPEG2 player component installer for Quicktime 6 from years ago when I upgraded to 10.2.8. I just tried to install it and now I can't because I get a message that there is a newer version of the component already installed on the computer! So apparently the new MPEG2 component for Quicktime 7 DID install somewhat because it is now blocking me from using one that's more compatible with Quicktime 6. However I can't use this version 7 MPEG2 player cuz it isn't FULLY installed.
Anybody have any idea how to get around this? Is there a way to totally uninstall the Quicktime 7 MPEG2 player so I can try to reinstall the Quicktime 6 MPEG2 player?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. And I know I am using old versions of everything, but they work just fine for my purposes, and I don't want to upgrade all my multi-media software.
Best Wishes
T

Did you try deleting the receipt file for the "latest" installation and then running the "older" installer?

A clean system install would do it but most people don't want to go to the trouble of saving all active projects/documents and re-installing all of the non-system applications and/or utilities.

Mpeg-2 module for quickTime does not read a .mov (HDV codec 1080i50)

Hi,
I've just bought the Mpeg-2 module for QuickTime for Windows, I've installed it and it does not work.
It cannot read .mov files with codec HDV 1080i50.
I can hear the sound, but I cannot watch the video.
Please, may somebody help me ?
Thanks

How to read a .mov file with the HDV codec on my PC ?
The file has been edited using Final Cut Pro on a Mac.
I have to edit the titles and realise the DVD authoring, but I cannot use it.
I've bought the module after reading on the Apple website that the module could read this kind of file on QuickTime Pro.
Any idea to read it on a PC?
Thanks

MPEG 2 Playback in Quicktime Pro?

Hello,
I am cinsidering upgrading to Quicktime Pro. Is the MPEG 2 playback component included in Quicktime Pro or do I need buy it separately?
Thank you.
Pavel.

The MPEG-2 Playback Component is a separate purchase.
Please read the FAQ's on the download or information page.

It's not the "magic" many users expect. It follows most of Apple's approach to piracy and copyright protection.

I cannot get my registration to work for QuickTime Pro for Mac OS X 10.6.8 using QT 7.6.6 I have copied and pasted exactly as require (I don't have an organization). Any suggestions? Thank you!

There is no QuickTime System Preferences pane in 10.6.8 or later.
You enter the registration under the player 7 menu.

You would have to ask Apple to get a "real" answer. This is a peer-to-peer user foum and anything we say would be pure speculation.

No, the registration is specific, you'll need to get a new one.

I paid for Quicktime Pro but only show Quicktime. I need to rotate a movie.

I have registered successfully with the license code they sent me after I paid for Quicktime Pro. The email from them says that I now have Quicktime Pro, but still I only show regular Quicktime, not Quicktime Pro.
I DO HAVE A NEW DELL LAPTOP SO THIS MAY BE OPERATOR ERROR.
I'd like to be able to rotate a movie but the directions I have don't work for regular Quicktime.
I found directions online that tell me to open Quicktime Pro. Go to "Window". Then to "Show Movie Properties" then to the icons for rotating a movie.
I can get as far as "Show Movie Properties" but after that there is a strange chart and nothing about rotating anything.
How do I get the Quicktime Pro to show up instead of regular Quicktime?
Thanks in advance for any help you may give to me.

Thank you for responding! Unfortunately, it doesn't give me this option. When I go to "Windows" and then to "Show Movie Properties" and I click on the video, nothing happened other than it is highlighted in blue. I tried clicking once. Nada. Twice Nada. I tried right clicking. Nothing comes up. The options I have are below. Is this making any sense to you? Thanks.

HT3678 I have 10.7.4 Mac OS - just paid $32 for Quicktime Pro so I can convert a video file format got authorization code but cant figure how to find Quicktime let alone activate - HELP!

Just paid $32 for Quicktime Pro so I can convert a .MOV video file format to another format - cant figure out where Quicktime is and how to activate it to Pro
Is it the Quicktime player 7?

I did this and copied EXACTLY my name and the activation code sent in the receipt - says invalid
I am under a deadine for a presentation in 8 hours -
My problem is thet a person made a montage from photos and saved it as .MOV file format and the presentation is going to be made on a flat screen TV from a USB mem card or thumb drive -
first problem was card was FAT32 formatted - and I think I understand that for a 5GB file size that ExFAT is required and XP with patches or Windows 7 and Mac OS read this format so not a problem to format USB to be ExFAT - but the TV needs AVI or a MPx format
suggestions???
Thanks in advance

Registration for Quicktime Pro won't open

New mac and installed QuickTime 7.6.6 (rather than 10) and Preferences or Registration simply won't open. Trying to register QuickTime Pro. Any suggestions?

Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

No Sound when converting MPEG file to MOV - Quicktime Pro

Hi Everyone,
Just got my first Mac (MacBook Pro) which I love but I'm having a problems importing MPEG 4 files from my Sony digital camera. They play fine through quicktime in the sony format but when I import into quicktime (or imovie for that matter) then export in a .mov file all the sound is lost.
I see some people have reported problems with sound similar to mine but none appear to be the same?
Any ideas??
Many Thanks
Wes
Ps Running all the latest updates..
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

I am having a similar problem and I see this was never persued any further. I am trying to convert an mpeg file to a mov file using quicktime pro. When I do there is no sound.
Movie info for mov file is: Format is H.264 Decoder, 320 x 240, Millions, FPS is 15, Data Rate is 256.21 kbits/sec.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to quicktime and frustrated from spending hours trying to figure this out! Thanks in advance!

Fix for Quicktime Pro crashes on Windows XP 64bit

This is for anyone experiencing crashing with Quicktime Pro when exporting, crashing with HD quicktimes in Firefox and problems with Sorenson Squeeze related to Quicktime files.
You CAN NOT run quicktime in the default "Direct X" mode on Win64. To change this, go to "Edit>Preferences>Quicktime Preferences" and click on the "Advanced" tab. Set the "video" to "safe mode (GDI only)". This fixed any crashing I had with quicktime, quicktime in Firefox, quicktime pro exporting and even fixed my problems with Sorenson Squeeze. Apple should make a note of this to users downloading for Win64. This may actually be the same case for Vista but I'm not sure.

Do you have an nVidia GeForce 8x00 video card?
If so, this appears to be more of an issue w/ nVidia's XP drivers (32-bit OR 64-bit) and you should report it to nVidia too, as they have yet to acknowledge any issues even though MANY people have this problem.
Vista works fine, though, actually!
