No video for quicktime

whenever i got to a site and click on a video that is quicktime all i get is audio, no video i just downloaded the newest version and i dont know what is wrong please help.

I have the same problem. For example the videos on the apple.com website. The tutorial videos will not show video, just audio. You can see the loading bar at the bottom but the video section is just brushed metal. Videos on youtube (using flash) play just fine. This has been happening for a while now. Definitely after I got leopard if not before. Thank you!

  • Problems embeding video for quicktime

    I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.
    Hi, I am trying to embed quicktime video into a web site. When I view it, it shows the quicktime logo for a long time. Then when the movie downloads, then the movie shows up. I would like to be able to watch it when it is downloading. Here is the code I got off of apples site.
    <embed src="sample.mov" width="320" height="256"></embed>
    can anyone help.

    Hi,
    That did help some, thanks. the problem I am having now is, the code that I am using works with one video, but not another one. The videos are both .mov files and the same size. One video plays when it is downloading, the other shows the quicktime icon until it is downloaded then plays. Why would this happen? The only thing I am changing is the src.
    Here is the code I am using. Thanks!

  • Audio but no video for Quicktime in Safari-help?

    When I open a Quicktime file in Safari, only the audio will play---blank screen for video. I can play the video in an AOL browser, but not Safari-this only started with the newest upgrade . Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any solution.

    Thanks again, QuickTimeKirk.
    I think the audio rate was to blame. I changed the audio format in QuickTime Player 7 Pro from (I think) Linear PCM to AAC and the kbps number from the default value 128 to 64. Then I changed the mark for the video rate from automatic to the option of setting a limit and set a suitable limit. That way I was able to control the total kbit/second rate for the exported .mov file so that it got a reasonable size.
    When I compare the source .flv file with the produced .mov file for the case when they have about the same total kbit/second rate, I can see that the .mov file is smoother or has less detail than the .flv file although the difference is not big. Increasing the video rate limit in QuickTime Player 7 Pro causes a bigger .mov file with better quality to be produced.

    In the sheet :: table :: cell that is going to receive the data, type an equals sign, then click on the cell that the data will come from and press Return.
    This will require that you navigate to the origin cell by choosing the proper sheet.

  • Quicktime : how to encode a video for the N95

    Hi !
    I have a N95 8Go and a Mac...
    I use Quicktime Pro to encode videos and I want to make H.264 videos for my N95. Sadly, all videos I've created can't be read by N95's Real Player (audio/video error).
    How can I do ?
    Thank you

    I've never used Quicktime PRO but I saw a tutorial once.
    Maybe this can help:

  • Looking for a lightbox style extension for Quicktime Videos

    Hi guys,
    I am looking for a lightbox style extension for Quicktime Videos. I can't find anything on the net.
    Can anyone recomend something easy? Bare in mind I am not good with scripting.more of a designer.
    Thanks everyone.

    Sorry about all this, but it seems that playing videos in a lightbox window is the ultimate goal.
    I have tried the You tube video in my FF and it works O/k except that it does not auto-start. You are correct about not working in IE, (although the documentation says it does!).
    I have found another one that works in IE but the QuickTime part does not seem to work in FF, you can check this out yourself as it may be my settings.
    http://www.stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/#demos
    (The note on website says that the theme they are using has an effect on compatibility, so this may also cause the problem in FF.)
    After much digging around various websites and forums, mootools had a problem working with IE and the recommendation is to download the new version of mootools from: http://mootools.net/download

  • Creating videos for web with QuickTime Pro

    HI,
    I need to create videos for my web site that are compatible with the Ipod. However, I also need to create a file that can be played on a PC, without requiring the use to install a plug in (e.g. Flash or similar).
    Does QuickTime Pro have anything that can help me produce a video that is compatible with both the Ipod and the standard PC web browser?
    Thanks very much,
    Jamie Dolan

    Every video format will require a browser plug-in be used.

  • Compressing video for iPod using QuickTime 7 Pro ("expert")

    Hi all,
    I purchased QuickTime 7 Pro thinking I would be able to compress 640x480 H.264 video for an iPod. I have a specific application that requires precise control over the compression -- that is, the no-option "Movie to iPod" export setting ain't gonna cut it.
    I have tried many, many different setting combinations using "Movie to MPEG-4" and "Movie to QuickTime Movie" under "File" --> "Export" in QuickTime, and I have been careful to limit sizes and bitrates per iPod tech specs as published on the Apple Web site. However, while all of the H.264 files I have output will open in iTunes, none of them will sync to my iPod. Videos I output using standard MPEG-4 compression will sync to my iPod (and look awful), but videos using H.264 will not.
    Does anyone know what settings I can use to export 640x480 H.264 video to my iPod, and how I can have more control over the process than just "Movie to iPod?"
    Thanks!
    -- Joey
    What I got (the technical details):
    WinXP Pro with all the latest updates on Intel
    5G 60GB iPod w/ firmware ver 1.2
    QuickTime 7.1.3 Pro
    iTunes 7.0.1.8
    multiple Wintel machines   Windows XP Pro  

    Welcome to the discussions, Joeysirmons.
    The developer that created VisualHub (Only for the Mac) has discovered how to create iPod compatible 640x480 video where the user has full control over the compression. The changes he made were to some public libraries so these methods should be finding their way to the ffmpeg based tools for Windows soon.

  • 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

  • Why Did a Quicktime Video For VLC Download Instead of Play?

    From Firefox, after attempting to stream a Quicktime Video without QuickTime media player installed on my PC, I was offered the option to watch the video with VLC open source Media Player, which I do have installed on my PC.
    I selected that, but the video didn't stream. It started downloading, without further warning.
    Why would that happen in Firefox?

    Files opened in an external application are never streamed and are downloaded to the temp folder before they are passed to the player.<br />
    That only works if the stream is placed in a media file that has the link(s) to the stream. Then that file can be passed to the external player.<br />
    Only media files that play embedded in a browser tab can be streamed.

  • Clip Notes in CS4/Acrobat 9: exports transcript, no controls for QuickTime

    When I use the Transcribe feature, then export my project to Clip Notes, it exports every transcribed word as a separate comment. There doesn't seem to be any way of suppressing that, and there doesn't seem to be a way of deleting a transcription either in PP or in Acrobat. The result is that the reviewer sees all these comments and has to fight with Acrobat to insert new comments. When I import the xfdf back into PP, I get the whole transcription loaded into markers along with the reviewer's comments. Unless I open every one, I can't tell what's what.
    Is there at least a way of deleting the transcription in PP or Acrobat?
    Also, if I export the video as QuickTime, there are no player controls in Acrobat. I only get player controls if I export as Windows Media. That means that some Mac users won't be able to use my Clip Notes exports. I've seen others asking about this, but no answers. Any ideas? I'm running this under Windows Vista Ultimate.

    But I find it amazing that there's no way to delete the damn thing. Adobe made a big deal of transcription, but it seems they didn't regard it as more than a gimmick, since they did it half-baked. I think you're right that it's best not to use this "feature".
    I don't know if it's necessarily half-baked, so much as it is an overly optimistic appraisal of the capability of the technology at this point in time. I mean, it does create words, and sometimes very interesting ones at that
    What's interesting to me is that when I tested out the transcribe feature back when Adobe released the beta of Soundbooth CS4, it was MUCH more accurate--and I was testing it on the mixed, final soundtrack of a documentary captured from Betacam SP. The transcription wasn't anywhere near 100%, but it was actually usable. Now, it struggles on pristine audio from a single, clear voice track. Wish it wasn't so...
    Anyway, you can stop the transcription from appearing in a Clip Notes export. Check out the following screenshot for the how-to:

  • Is there a way to "center" video for DVD distribution?

    This may be a long story so hear me out...
    For the past year or so, after every great sports win by my alma mater Michigan State University I make a highlight video for web distribution. My workflow for doing so goes like this:
    1. Record straight to DVD from Tivo or live TV using Panasonic ES10 recorder
    2. Extract clips using Cinematize (uncompressed full quality setting, automatic adjustment 640x480)
    3. Import clips into Final Cut Pro and edit
    4. Export full quality uncompressed Quicktime
    5. Export H.264 for web viewing
    Well this work has found the attention of someone in the East Lansing (where MSU is) city council. They would like me to throw together a short little video to be played at bars in East Lansing after the MSU mens basketball tournament games.
    I have done a few tests simply taking the uncompressed Final Cut exports and making a DVD in iDVD out of them. The results, while OK, aren't the best. I'm thinking there isn't much I can do there because I'm not working with the best source material (going through a number of compressions - Tivo, DVD recorder, iDVD, etc).
    But one thing I did notice though is my fancy iDVD created menu looked pretty slick with the video scaled down. The video was crisp and clear.
    Is there a way to scale my video down so that it doesn't play full screen? Almost doing a 4-sided letterbox. I'm envisioning the video scaled down, centered on the TV.

    Yes, I think I understand what you want to do...
    You can scale the video down or up to pretty much any size you would want to use;
    When your video is in the timeline, double click it, and it will open in one of the video preview windows (I belive its called the "viewer" window), for me on my dual screen, its the one on the left;
    A few tabs will appear at the top of the the Viewer window, Video, Filters and Motion; Click on the motion Tab...
    When there the video will disappear a time line where keyframes live will appear, since you have not used key frames in this clip for motion, there will not be any there;
    You will see to the left of this a few pull downs, Basic Motion, Crop, Distort, Opacity, Drop Shadow and Time Remap;
    When you have the basic Motion twisty selected, you will see, Scale, Rotation, Center and Anchor Point;
    The one your interested in for what I belive you wan to do is Scale. You can click in the box that defaults to 100 (meaning 100 percent) and change this to anything you want.
    By changing it this once it will make the entire clip play at that new scale. You can get creative and keyframe it over time using the little diamond shape button with the right and left arrow on each side. You can add a key frame at any point int he time line; and it will scale (in this case) to each setting you have set a key for. It interpolates the scale at each point in the time line when you set different scales etc... you can fiddle with this and get some good ideas for other projects if you want;
    For what I belive you asked for, no key frame is required as you want it to start and finish att he same reduced scale.
    I trust this helps you out, and hopefully I read your question correctly;
    p.s. if you leave the Center at 0, and 0 it will be centred, but its important to note you can use that to chance the position of the video in the video frame, again not needed for your request - but handy to know....

  • Why haven't I been able to watch YouTube videos for months? :(

    I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this issue I've been having...
    I have an older MacBook Pro (bought July 2007) running OS 10.4.11, that hasn't been able to access YouTube or YouTube videos for the past several months. When trying to access the website on Firefox or Safari, the page takes forever to load and I get the "Connection has timed out" error. I've tried loading it on several different wireless connections, none of which should have any firewalls/proxies set. Embedded YouTube videos don't show up (there's just a blank space where they should be), and embedded HD YouTube videos will show the first frame but will not load or play.
    I've never had any problems with YouTube before, but didn't turn my computer on between Feb and May of this year (I was traveling). I figured I must have missed some important update. But I'm currently running the most recent versions of Firefox (3.6.9) and Safari (4.0.3), Adobe Flash (10.1), Quicktime (7.6.4), and Java (v9 for OS 10.4). Updating these hasn't helped any. I also reinstalled Firefox entirely.
    I don't have any issues loading any other websites, or playing/viewing other kinds of embedded videos, or any other videos. As far as I can tell, my internet browsers don't have any firewalls or blocks set up. Other laptops and desktops on the same wireless connections I've tried can access the site and embedded videos without issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to what else I could try? I'd love to be able to get back on YouTube...
    thank you in advance!
    -Ann

    I understand that you can not access youtube website at all .. this can be due to a variety of reasons ..
    what you describe looks like a dns resolution error .. try this
    go to terminal and type
    sudo nano /Private/Etc/Hosts
    you will be prompted for your password ..enter it and note that your input won't be visible ..
    if all goes well you will see something like this :
    # Host Database
    # localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
    # when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    if you see that try adding these lines EXACTLY AS YOU SEE underneath that page
    74.125.43.103 youtube.com
    74.125.43.103 www.youtube.com
    and press control and X together on your keyboard
    now back at the terminal type exit and hit return
    reboot your machine ..
    see how it goes
    hope this helps
