No image on Pixlet .mov after Quicktime 7.5 update

Hi, here we are with another QT 7.5 problem.
I have recently updated to QuickTime 7.5 and all my movies exported from iMovie using the Apple Pixlet Video format are not playing correctly.
I can listen to them, the audio is playing correctly, but the only thing that renders is a white screen.
I use this movies to create a DVD throught iDVD and now the movies are not appearing as possible media to be included in a iDVD project. I guess this could be because, as far as the .mov can not be displayed, iDVD can not add them into a project.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Uhm... extrange thing.
I also have the Pro version. I also updated iMovie and iDVD. I exported new videos with the same settings and always a white screen. It also happens with videos exported previous to the update.
I did more testing:
1- I uploaded a video to a web server.
2- I tried to view the .mov using a browser.
Safari - plays white
Firefox - plays the video with altered (bad) colors.
The url to test the video (1 second of video) is

If you can see the video I think the problem is not coding time but play time. And I will try to guess why is happening this.
Thanks.

After Quicktime 7.6 update, can't load i-tunes, logic or quicktime

Hello everyone.
Would really appreciate some help here.
I'm running a macbook pro (OS 10.4.11, Logic Pro 7.2.3)
In order to view some video files for a project I'm working on, I updated quicktime to 7.6.4, the latest Tiger will run (according to the apple webite). Now neither quicktime, i-tunes nor Logic will load.
I tried updating i-tunes to 9.2.1, but it still doesn't work.
Tried downgrading quicktime, but it won't let me.
Updating to Logic 8, or OS 10.5+ isn't an option at the moment. I just need a few more months out of this laptop, to finish some long-term projects.
What to do? Really stuck now.
thanks in advance
Guy

Did you use Disk Utility to verify your drive before installing? Did you use Disk Utility to repair permissions both before and after doing the installation? If not, you may have a corrupt drive (in which case the computer is losing track of files), or permissions are set so components couldn't be replaced or read.
Did you download the update files, or did you use Software Update to install? Many use Software Update but a lot of us prefer to have the updater safe and sound on our computer before letting it run.
Boot from your system installation disc and run Disk Utility to verify your hard drive. If necessary, run repair. Then boot from your internal disc and use Disc Utility there to repair permissions on your computer. Try re-installing the update with a downloaded version. repair permissions again.
Oh, before doing any update it is a good idea to make a bootable backup clone of your drive so you can restore again should something go wrong.

Windows Image Acquisition directory disapperaed after Windows 8.1 update

Hello to everybody, I recently found out that my pc, ASUS N750JV doesn't detect the integrated webcam after updating to Windows 8.1. I looked in the Device Manager to solve the problem but the dicrectory Windows Image Acquisition simply disappeared. So I
called ASUS Tech Assistance but after installing all the relative drivers they suggested me (windows 8) without result, they told me to format C:/ and go back to Windows 8. Can you help me with some solution before formatting the all the softwares I have installed?
Can you help me? I'm rather upset about this fact. My pc is new and Windows 8.1 even newer...

Hi,
Have you checked out that whether the webcam is fully supported in Windows 8.1\compatible with Windows 8.1? In other words, can you find the specific device driver for Windows 8.1 on the manufacture website?
Latest drivers and related webcam software are usually the cause of this kind of issue.
If you have a restore point, return the system state to a previous state at in case some recent changes mifght cause this issue, check if issue persists (you will lose some recent settings) (this solution is based on a situation that the webcam
was working for some time after you upgraded to Windows 8.1)

Unable to stream movies after 4.2.1 update

Hi,
I updated my Apple TV to 4.2.1 tonight and I've been unable to stream movies from my iMac or iPad to the ATV since then. I can stream music and TV shows but no luck streaming movies to it.
I've also tried streaming from my iPad to the ATV and this isnt working either.
The iMac and iPad see recognize the ATV, the ATV displays one still picture and sits in a buffering pattern.
I tried restoring the ATV, rebooting my iMac, rebooted the TC and APE but no luck.
Have you run across this? Any suggestions? (besides not updating right away!)

I spoke (wrote) too soon. Though the calendar is showing all the events, an event I just added on the iphone has not shown up on other devices. I created an event on my Ipad too, which also didn't show up on other devices.
I logged in to Mobile Me, which reports all services running OK, but something seems to be wrong

Image moves after updating

I have a document containing some scanned linked images in indesign. However when I see some errors in in them, I crop them in Photoshop. When these images get updated, they either increase in their size ( if I have autofit enabled), or change their position if I have autofit disabled. Is there a way so that the image stays in place after I crop them in Photoshop? I’m using indesign cs6

Pixel dimensions is the size, in pixels, of the image. Resolution is how large you wish to print those pixels by specifying how may will fill a defined space, ie. 300 pixels in the space of an inch. Resolution has nothing to do with number of pixels that the image contains. When you crop the image in Photoshop you are cutting off pixels and throwing them away -- changing the pixel dimensions for the image.
> By cropping I guess you’re saying to adjust the blue outer lines when autofit option is unchecked right? That merely hides the undesirable portion of image rather than actually cropping.
That's what I mean (except that I also mean you can move the image around inside the frame rather than adjusting the frame itself). There is no functional difference in your output if you crop in ID, and there are plenty of advantages, like the ability to reposition or show more of the image, and the size of the image doesn't change if you edit.

Why can't I play AVI movies using quicktime? Even after downloading a apple app to do so. I only get audio.

How to get a jpeg image to a movie with best possible quality

I've got a jpeg image from my 2 megapixel digital camera and I'm playing around with converting it to a movie. Yes, its a one image movie.
+QuickTime Pro+ does a superb job when I choose H.264, 1024 kb/s, but I can't get iMovie 5.0.2 to give me the same quality. This is what I have done:
1. Create a new movie as type MPEG-4.
2. Imported the jpeg image and adjust the time from 5 seconds to about 2 seconds.
3. Select Share, choose H.264, 1024 kb/s from the relevant option and after the movie making happens, the quality is obviously inferior to that from +QT Pro+.
*QUES 1*: Why is the quality inferior?
I have been to iMovie help and noticed this comment:
"When you import clips in a format different from your project, they are converted to the video format of your movie."
*QUES 2*: Is this why my jpeg image is losing quality? Is iMovie converting it to something else?
Further, when the jpeg image is first imported, it is assigned a clip time of 5 seconds. When I move one of the sliders to reduce the time to just a few seconds, I notice that a black band appears at the top of the image in the iMovie window and as I make the time smaller, the image zooms in and the black band becomes wider. Letterboxing at the top seems to be occuring. This I can't fathom.
*QUES 3*: Why does iMovie zoom in when I adjust time?
Any comments most appreciated, especially those that tell me if iMovie can make a movie from jpeg images with the same quality as QT Pro -- and how to do that.

Re the quality -- I think I have answered this one myself. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that when I select a video option (DV, HD 1080 and so on), iMovie sets up a frame size to suit, and the frame size that iMovie sets up for MPEG-4 happens to be 640 x 480, thus the poor quality of my jpegs when I selected that option. The poor quality had nothing to do with the MPEG-4 format.
Now the interesting things is, MPEG-4 is not limited to 640 x 480. It can be any size. So my question is:
Ques: Can I set up a movie within iMovie that is any size I want? QT Pro gave better results because it allows any size movie at all, and thus adjusted the movie size to my jpeg size (1800 x 1200 pixels) when I imported an image from my digital camera.
As it stands, not even the highest quality option in +iMovie 5.0.2+ (HD 1080) can handle the images from my piddly-little 2 megapixel camera.

MacBook Air and Apple Pixlet movies

Hello,
I have problems playing back movies that are in the Apple Pixlet format on my MacBook Air. (On my desktop Mac the movies play fine) When I open such a movie in QuickTime or Final Cut Pro the video is just a blank white square. I hear the sound but don't see the picture. If I move and scale the video wildly around in QT for a second the picture comes up.
Looks like a graphic driver bug to me. Does anybody else experience this problem?
My video information:
MPEG-4 Low Delay AAC, Stereo (L R), 44,100 kHz
Apple Pixlet Video, 320 x 240, 16,7 Mill.

I have the same problem, in addition to the fact that NO video (mp4, mov) etc will play correctly in QuickTime in anything but FULL SCREEN. Even trying to adjust the volume brings up multiple copies of the frozen video and flickering like mad. When I go back to full screen, the problems stop.
I find that my mp4s and mov videos go "white" thumbnail and lose their images altogether when it falls asleep or I log out. Then trying to play the video I played 10 minutes earlier is impossible until I reboot.
I was also an early purchases of the MB PRO when it came out and I swore I would never buy another "new" (untested) product from Apple again. I broke my promise. It won't happen again.
In addition, you could fry an egg on the thing sometimes.
Not a happy customer.

TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

Marcello, I am having the same problem. When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini.
I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

Need to export Movie to Quicktime Movie w/ similar file size and quality.

Let me preface in that I am not in the video editing profession. Many times I have exported my work to the professionals. I'm sure knowing what you're doing is half of the battle. Here is my dilemma. First, I'm using Quicktime pro just to add a text track to the movie. I then save the file as what Quicktime pro calls Movie .mov. This looks good and has the quality of the original .mov and the small data size. However, no other player than quicktime will recognize the text track. I then tried exporting from Movie to quicktime movie format (still .mov, can anyone explain the difference of the two .mov types???), but I find that the image quality is poor. Yet, in the quicktime format other players (except windows media player) recognize the text track. By poor quality I mean that I think what I have is the blocking effect. I assume that this is due to the bitrate being to low. Again, I would like to keep the file size low and managable for data storage and downloading purposes. I was hoping that in the end all video players would be able to have no issues.
My current file sized are all less than 1MB and are of good quality.
Just adding a small test track the Movie .mov is still less than 1MB
The size of the image is 512x512
I should also say that I'm a PC user with a quicktime pro windows version. I'm sure that doesn't help me one bit!! However, I believe my issues are more with the fact that I'm not experienced in compressing files and knowing exactly the right settings.
Here is what I've tried thus far. Movie to quicktime movie
H264 codec
Current for fps (Which is in the original is 8fps)
Key frames automatic
frame reordering checked
I've tried Automatic data rate and setting the bit rate, even at 2000kbps (the quality is low). My original movie with the highest kbps is only 1151kbps and has no artifacts
encoding Best quality multi-pass
custom size 512x512
deinterlace checked

am i correct that this 'my photo stream' process is not removing any image data?
Yes, as long as you have iPhoto's iCloud preference pane configures as follows:
You're be getting the full image file, pixel dimensions, etc. which is essentially a bit by bit copy of the photo on the Phone.
When you add tags and other metadata and export the file out of iPhoto as a jpeg with the checkboxes selected to include that metadata there will be some image compression. However, if one chooses High or even Medium JPEG Quality one will be hard pressed to detect any image degradation unless printing very, large prints or otherwise displaying the image at a very, large size.
I ran a test on a 1.4 MB photo from my iPhone and compared the original to two exports, one at High and the other at Medium JPEG Quality and got these results:

Imported image's position moves when updated in Indesign CS6. Why??

After modifying an imported image from illustrator, the imported image's position moves within the frame of Indesign CS6 when the link is updated.

You have not provided any relevant information, so nobody can know. you can simply have added content that expands the bounding box. Well, whatever, ask in the relevant forums and be much more specific.

Images merging and movies merging

Hello!
I am new to Java Media Framework and I'm sorry about my English is really poor.
I read articles , like :

hi shadowLife ,
I am also a newbie to this filed.Curently i am working on Video conference tool using JMF. I also need to merge the mulitple audio files and i found, it is possible.
One of my friend tried to merge the two video files, but the problem is that when you play them it plays only first video. As these videos are stored as multiple tracks so only one trakc is played at a time. If you want to see the other video then there should be a option of seeing video track in your player like it is in VLC player.
So i don't know whether merging of two video tracks as a single video track is possible or not (i feel it is not possible), because video stream is different from audio stream.Merging two video streams together doesn't make sense the way it does with an audio stream. Thus, if a video has more than one video stream running concurrently, it'd be for something like "alternate angles" on a DVD, or perhaps security camera software would combine all of the video feeds into a single file like that.
The OP was wanting to concatinate video files, not merge them. One right after the other. This concept makes a lot more sense for most applications.
One way to do this is to play both video on some panel and capture the screen ( i heard that is is possible in java) then create a video from this captured images.It is possible to do that, but you would never want to do something like that... There are more problems with that idea than I can count, just stemming from the fact that that is a very, very hacky solution.
Certainly there are instances where this might be necessary, but anything like that would absolutely be a last-ditch effort and could never be included in any sort of publishable software...
Hope this information will help you.
May be, i can be wrong so hoping for others reply on that. this will help me also for making my fundamentals and knowledge strong.Can be wrong and mostly were ;-) But it's a learning experience for everyone, eh?

Embed question - play one movie after another

I am trying to figure out how to play a short 10 second clip before each movie on my website. The clip may be a short ad or a promo and will depend upon the content of the main video. What is the code that enables you to play one move after another in a web page. I don't want to edit the two clips to become one cos over time the ads and promos will change. In Realplayer I remember using SMIL but how is it done in QT. I will eventually write code to write out the Embed tag but now i am just experimenting. Here is what my drupal site puts out



<object type="video/quicktime" width="483" height="381"

Embed the initial movie clip as normal, but give it an HREF property.
Set the source for the HREF to be the next movie, set autohref=true, and set target="myself". It's the same technique you use to build a poster movie but (a) instead of having the poster movie open QT Player, you have its target open in its own frame and (b) instead of waiting for a user to click the poster, you have the poster movie "click itself".
Code that I used a very long time ago to display a "Loading..." graphic as a movie loaded (waste of effort, actually, as the movie is fast start and loads very fast):
<embed
src="loading.mov"
height="208"
width="256"
autohref="true"
href="Worm.mov"
target="Myself">
</embed>
(of course this was before I learned about OBJECT and the need to use OBJECT to activate the ActiveX control in IE. Also, it's worth noting that the javascript hack isn't strictly necessary for IE users, but without it, IE users will get a security dialog before they get the movie.)

Trouble Exporting to 16:9 with Quicktime Movie or Quicktime Conversion

I have created a 5 minute movie using shots taken from my Sony HDR-FX1. The shots were native 16:9. They imported fine into FCEHD. While editing in FCEHD, the clips all displayed in the viewer as 16:9. When I exported to Quicktime Movie, the resulting product was 16:9. When I exported using Quicktime Conversion, my product became 4:3.
Having read other posts here, I looked closely at all clips (which were all checked as Anamorphic), and my Sequence (which was not checked Anamorphic -- but was instead HD1440x1080). I then created a new sequence, which was checked as Anamorphic, copied my clips to it, then exported it. It got worse. Now, it exports 4:3 using both Quicktime Movie and Quicktime Conversion.
I then created a new project, created a new sequence set to Anamorphic, then copied one clip into it from my earlier project and exported it -- same result. I then imported a clip into this new project from the original files from my camera and exported -- same result.
One final note, when looking at the Frame Size in the properties of my sequence and clips, it is set to 720x480. And, when I look at the Get Info on the exported files of the original, I see 1920x1080 (Quicktime Movie export) and 1440x1080 (Quicktime Conversion export) before I created the new sequence; then 720x480 in both after I created the new sequence.
Any help you can provide would be incredibly appreciated!

You are right. My original sequence was marked as HD. When I exported that one to Quicktime Movie, it displayed 16:9.
Then, I created a new sequence that was 720x480 and checked as anamorphic. That one, exported with Quicktime Movie and/or Quicktime Conversion was 720x480 and was squeezed into 4:3 rather than displaying in Quicktime as 16:9.
Last night, I burned this to DVD using iMovie and it displayed properly on my 16:9 television. But, alas, it is squeezed on my 4:3 television (rather than letterboxed).
Also, I exported to Quicktime Conversion and used "custom size" of 720x405 and achieved a movie that will play in Quicktime as near 16:9 so I can put it up on the web in the right dimensions.
Is there a better/easier way to export footage shot 16:9, edited 16:9 so that it automatically exports 16:9 for use in Quicktime and/or on a DVD?
