Mpeg4 file format that QuickTime can play

Hi:
I got one file that was encoded by the MPEG-4 format
(Video: MPEG-4, Audio: MPEG-4 AAC) using the Advanced
Simple Profile. I could play it smoothly through the VLC
player. However, the QuickTime Player couldn't recognize it
and returned with the 2010 error code. Could anyone tell
me how to find the reason why the QuickTime couldn't play
this file? Do I need to download any extra module to make
it work?
Thanks.

That helps. I DID find something that said QuickTime six had a problem with ASP and I think that's true for 7 as well. Actually, I don't think it's so much of a problem as it is not-supported for MPEG-4 (it is for H.264). If what I'm saying sounds odd, it's because I don't know exactly what I'm talking about, but I know that one reason why MPEG-4 on the Mac looks worse than H.264 is because MPEG-4 was only designed to create "Simple Profile".
I'll do some more searching to see if I can verify that QuickTime 7 wouldn't be able to play back ASP. (Which version are you using for playback?)

I want to play AVCHD videos in ipad from my JVC camcorder.which is the best tool for converting the avchd videos to formats that ipad can play?

I have a JVC HD camcorder that creates videos in AVCHD format that ipad cannot play. Which is the best tool to convert these avchd videos to the format ipad can play?

Airplay is a wireless streaming protocol. It allows content to be pushed from the iPad through the Apple TV onto your connected HDTV.
If she wants to see the iPad displayed on the big screen and/or play games that involves mirroring. As long as it's an iPad 2 (or later) then you will be fine. More info on both has been referened below

Free VLC player for the Mac, check out the Icecast Radio Directory also
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html
And if it's copy protected then
http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac/
If anyone is running 10.8. or later, then they might have to right or control click on the installer or app to "Open" to bypass Gatekeeper controls at least once, then it learns it's a ok to be trusted program.

Why does FCE export file formats that can't be accessed in QuickTime?

I've been slowly but surely figuring out the FCE program. About 3 months ago I editied a video, exported it and when I clicked on the .MOV file it automatically converted it to a QuickTime compatible file, which I was then able to save and upload to YouTube with no issues. I have not updated or changed any settings or anything on my computer since then and now when I export a video it shows up as an .MOV file that QuickTime can't access. Also, when I click on the "more info" button, it sends me to a link with a list of compatible formats and at the very top of the list is .MOV! I really don't know what to do now. HELP!
I just want to be able to view the video I edited and post it to YouTube.

but when it comes to exporting FCE4 forces 1920x1080 vids into a 1440x1080.
Not necessarily true. But may be true if you put 1920x1080 source clips in an HDV (1440x1080) Sequence. This is a common and often overlooked mistake. Your camcorder can shoot both 1920 and 1440 video, what settings did you use when you filmed your clips? What are your FCE sequence settings? In addition, both of the available 1920 settings are progressive; FCE only supports progressive video if it's 720p.
All FCE output is based on the characteristics of the Sequence settings combined with any special settings you configure in QuickTime Conversion if you use QT Conversion for output.
and the results have been similar in all, grainy, pixelated or horizontal lines with movement.
These are common problems with clips & sequences whose settings do not match. The combing effects could be a combination of low data rates plus being interlaced (again, check your Sequence settings).

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.

"The document “4-20130701090400-7.mp4” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands.You may need to install additional software to open this type of file."

Download and install VLC Player. It plays more formats and is free and highly regarded.

Tell use what format the video is that you are trying to play. Or post the url of the video site for others to test out for you.
Please do not type in CAPS. It is very hard to read & is considered shouting in cyber space & not appropiate here. We can all hear ya! No need to SHOUT! Thank you.

Plz help.

Hi there,
Have you tried reading this tutorial on exporting Edge Animate files to be used in InDesign?
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/enhancing-your-dps-folios-with -edge-animations.edu.html
Edge Animate files can be played in DPS folios. PDFs are not capable of playing Edge Animate files at this time. I did find a work around to get SWF files to play in PDF documents:

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!

App for accessing remote files on a mac that you can play in another app

Hey all,
Anyone know of an app that will allow me to access files stored on a mac connected to the same wifi that I can play the file through another app in the iPhone without the file being transferred to the phone?
For example, I want to be able to access a m4v stored on my mac over wifi, within the iPhone, to be played with a video player that I can send to a TV with the composite cable.
I found NetPortal, which works quite well, but you need to transfer the file to your iphone and even then, it wont open with many apps. I tried transferring a m4v file to my phone and it only gave me goodreader as an app to open the file with. I could simply transfer the file I want to access using my USB cable to my iPhone much faster.
Simply, I want to be able to stream movies from my Mac, through my iPhone to a TV and I am finding it hard to find Apps that allow such a thing.
Any suggestions?

I already have that setup at home. I want to be able to use this when I am on the road.
I already use StreamToMe and Airvideo, but sometimes the quality is quite bad, which is mainly cause by my low upload speed. So I am looking for higher quality alternatives. I carry around a macbook air a lot so I figured I could store lots of movies for on the road to be played on other's tvs when were taking it easy.
I am always so amused by responses on this forum. The solution is always to buy something.

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

What formats will Quicktime Pro play

I just installed Quicktime Pro on Win XP, and I can't get it to open any format, including wmv! Is there any video format that Quicktime will open without buying their MPEG2 codec?

This page includes a list of formats that QT will open.
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/player/specs.html
Note, however, that some of those formats are container formats that can have content compressed with many different compression formats and specific decompressors may be needed to be able to play a given file. This is especially true of avi and mov formats. If a file does not play then try opening MovieInfo in the Windows menu to see what compression was used. You may need to then search the internet for a decompressor for the file.
QT does not open wmv files, The mpeg2component is only used for playback of mpeg2 files so don't buy it unless you want to play that format in QT Player.

"Updating movies so that they can play in Keynote"

I'm getting the following message on almost every presentation I open in the new Keynote:
Do you want to update the movies so that they can play in Keynote for Mac? You can also optimize all movies for playback on iOS.
Note: Optimization may affect video quality.
Any idea what video formats Keynote supports and why it's asking to covert all my embeded .mov files? If I allow it to "optimize" my video files, what does it turn them into?

Yeah, same here. Every presentation I've opened has had this issue.
I made copies of some files and let Keynote 6 do its thing with the movies. I noticed two things:
A. The movies that did convert look worse.
B. About 25% of mine didn't convert and simply won't play in Keynote 6.
So yeah... thanks Apple, but no thanks. I'll be going back to version '09, which thankfully is still on my drive and appears to run ok.
Very happy I didn't pay for these iWork "upgrades". Such a bummer because I always look forward to iWork/iLife updates.
