No Video on new Quicktiime install

Help!! I just installed Quicktime 7.2 on my G4 Desktop and when I try to play movies, I get the progress bar, the audio but no video. What happened, and how can I correct this?
Ed

I originally thought it was my DV hardware, but clearly the problem is too prevalent. I have the same problem (as do a lot of other people, from the look of the QUIckTime 7.x threads for Mac and Windows). I can see the first frame of the video, but nothing else. The audio plays flawlessly. I had no problems with this prior to version 7. I even went so far as to upgrade to QUIckTime Pro - an expense I certainly didn't need - but it didn't solve the problem. It did allow me to prove one thing: QUIckTime Pro can't even play back the videos it creates itself!
I should note one important point: iTunes and VLC play these files PERFECTLY. It occurs to me this could be a video codec issue. The files I am using for the test were created from a DV source using QUIckTime, and it doesn't matter if I set to H.264 or MPEG-4 mode. iTunes identifies the codec as MPEG-4, VLC as mp4a, QUIckTime as Apple MPEG4 Decompressor. Same problem if I record using another QUIckTime based app (BTV, Vidi, etc.). Is QUIckTime attempting to use a different codec than iTunes/VLC? Perhaps the product testers/support staff have something installed that is not part of the standard download (a common side effect in an uncontrolled testing environment).
I did notice another flaw in QUIckTime that may be related: changes made to the advanced MIME settings don't get saved; I cannot set QUIckTime to read DV in the video section (despite having additional DIVX/XVID codecs installed). I check the box, I close the preferences pane, and it reverts to the previous settings. In fact, NONE of the applications I have that use QUIckTime settings have ANY impact on the settings; I try to alter anything in the video preferences for BTV Pro Carbon, and it simply reverts after I close the preference pane. I mention this because it may be a related issue; QUIckTime preferences simply cannot be altered properly.
My conclusion: I'd say you've got a way to go to make a stable version of this software. Just promise me one thing: when the update arrives, my Pro registration had better still be valid! Last time I "upgraded" QUIckTime reverted to a Player license...

  • New Intel video driver won't install

    The new intel video driver won't install on my T410.  Anyone else having the same problem?  All I get is a Turbo Boost installation box.  The intel video driver version doesn't update.  I've tried manually installing via "update driver", but windows says that I already have the newest driver (even when i only have 8.15.10.2202).

    that shows what you have to be the latest.
    After looking at it again it is a typo. It shows .2202 until you bring it up, then it shows .2253. I will let the admins know, ty for pointing it out.

  • Detecting Video Capture Devices without Installing JMF

    Hi All,
    I want to detect the video capture devices, without installing the JMF.
    I had included the jmf (windows version) in lib path in netbeans ide. I am able to detect the audio capture device. But unable to detect the video capture devices. But if I install the JMF, I am able to detect the Video Capture devices in My system. Can anyone help me?
    Thanks,
    Vinoth Kumar.

    YES! Please take a look at SIP Communicator project. They have all what u want.
    The main idea is copy all .dll files to System or System32 (Please check files which JMF will copy to ur computer and where).
    U need to have jmf.jar and sound.jar too ( maybe more) in your computer.
    Your program should have DirectSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundDetector.java, JMFInit.java. Those files are in JMStudio source code. They are used to detect all capture devices and register it to JMF, but wait !!! where they will be saved? In order to save information about capture devices which are detected, you should create "jmf.properties" file in the same location with jmf.jar.Therefore, u should modify the JMFInit.java so it can check if the "jmf.properties" exists. If it's not, you have to create it.
    Check SIP Communicator at Folder "media" then "device". They have modified those files I mentioned above and created some new files to SC can detect more devices.

  • Best practice for a new wordpress install / dreamweaver

    One thing that is being shown in the demo video's.  A pre created wordpress document, I wish, they started to show with a new wordpress install / setting up the server etc. 
    What are the best practices with using a service which has a one button wordpress install.  Install wordpress with one button install on web hosting servers?
    Is there a way to sync with your site that you can work on the live server?  I noticed everytime i seem to add my server it will connect but never sync with a new site / server.  Test Connection Link's though.
    Am I going to be forced to install / purchase mamp to more easily create install's of wordpress?
    Is there anyway to Sync, a new site folder on a local machine with an existing ftp site?

    What are the best practices with using a service which has a one button wordpress install.  Install wordpress with one button install on web hosting servers?
    I have such a service (installatron)  running on the webserver of my hosting comapny and I like it a lot. It installs the latest version, is incredibily fast ( a few seconds for the complete install, really), handles the database settings for you (it creates a database on your server, a database user and password) and it even handles the safety settings correctly (like setting sufficiently secure "secret keys" and passwords etc). Remember to print out the mail you receive with the passwords and database settings and keep it in a safe place. Not all services are as good as this one though, so check that out first. (or later, you can always do a re-install later) Also check if the Wordpress install is the latest version.
    Is there a way to sync with your site that you can work on the live server?  I noticed everytime i seem to add my server it will connect but never sync with a new site / server.  Test Connection Link's though.
    Yes, you can work on a live server if you set up your site correctly from the Site/new site or Site/manage site menu in Dreamweaver.
    You can also GET the remote site and keep it on your own computer, but you won't see anything happening if you make changes since Wordpress needs to run on a webserver running PHP and MySQL. You can also work locally and upload the changed files to your remote server using PUT from the Files window. You can even do this automaticaly by checking "automatically upload files to server on save" from the advanced/remote info tab in the Site Definition window.
    Am I going to be forced to install / purchase mamp to more easily create install's of wordpress?
    If you want to run Wordpress on your own machine, for development and testing purposes you will need to run mamp or wamp so Wordpress can run.
    If you want to run Wordpress on a webserver you won't need it. Dreamweaver or an FTP program and a texteditor is all you need.
    Firefox and the webdeveloper plug-in (of Firebug) is also very handy, check that out.

  • New Infinity install and Philips Smart TV

    Any ideas on how to resolve my connection issue. I have a Philips smart TV which until I had Infinity and the new HH3 installed on Thurs(7th Feb.) connected without any issues with my previous supplier's BB (Sky).  Tv is connected and finding net ok but cant/wont connect to Smart Tv.  I've enabled Port clamping as advised in other posts but still no joy.  Any other suggestions appreciated.  I pretty sure its not a TV issue as It worked no problems pre Infinity and TV is as up to date as you can get,Software update etc.
    Thanks
    Solved!

    Hi,
    I have the same problem with a Philips 40pfl8605 and a home hub 3 (but not the infinity package). the tv connects to the router, either wirelessly or via ethernet, but will not load Net TV. I get an error message which says 'Philips server not found. Try again later). 
    Keith, I'm on my home network now but you're link wouldn't open a few minutes ago. I can't work out how to message you directly on this forum, but if you can send me the content of that link on the thread, i'd be grateful. I'm pretty sure this problem stems from the router as the Net TV has connected in the past, when I've had a netgear router. Philips have been useless and after running through standard checklists such as clearing the Net TV memory, reinstalling software (which is up-to-date) etc, simply advised to send the (3yr-old) tv for repair. 
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • How do I get the old Apple ID off of my iPhone and the new one installed?

    I got a MacBook Pro and decided to create a new Apple ID different from the one I previously had. How do I get the old Apple ID off my iPhone and the new one installed?

    When I tried this, my music stayed the same whereas my new iTunes has only about half the music it used to.  How can I get all the music to clear out so that it can sync my new music to it.  Simply connecting it to the MacBook Pro and pressing Sync has not worked.

  • My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro and I had a new one installed and they were unable to get my pictures off of it. Is there anyone who could help? I'm going to lose all my memories of my kids! I got my old hard drive

    My hard drive crashed on my macbook pro so i had a new one installed and they couldn't get my pictures off. I dont want to lose all my memories! They gave me back my old hard drive. Is there anyone that could help me?

    I think how you understand the value of having backups. All you can do is:
    General File Recovery
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    You will need an external enclosure for the old drive so you can connect it to the computer in order to try the recovery software before you buy it. But if they don't work then you will need to send the drive to a recovery service such as Drive Savers.

  • I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

    I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
    After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the  install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
    I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
    I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

    Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
    The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
    You need much more RAM than that.

  • Tried to update iPod, failed, no new drivers installed. Now iPod does not show in my computer or in iTunes.

    Anyone know how I can update/unbrick this iPod? It's useless. It's stuck on the screen that says connect to iTunes. iTunes doesn't know it's there. My computer doesn't know it's there. It's not the USB port.
    Please don't direct me here - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - already tried, no results.
    Last time it was a missing driver for iTunes but iTunes says nothing new is needed. Help appreciated.

    Let me try this again. My computer said my iPod needed an update. I clicked ok. iTunes said it was doing the update. I browsed the internet. I came back to it after it was done, and it said update failed, no new drivers installed. Now my iPod touch is a brick. I cannot use it for anything. You know that screen that shows the usb cable, a white arrow, and iTunes? It's stuck there. No amount of pushing the sleep/wake button and home button will convince it to go to any other screen. When I go to 'My Computer', it does not recognize that there is anything there. It is not the USB port. Everything was fine until the update tried and failed.
    I am not installing iTunes (piece of crap software that it is) on the other computer in my apartment.
    I have exhausted the articles that sort of go with the problems I am having. They all assume a non brick iPod. Mine is a brick and therefore those articles, including the one you linked, are not relevant.
    Not meaning to be rude, but I came into this not caring much for Apple's business model. I've had my iPod for .. a week? Maybe two, and nothing I've seen has convinced me to feel otherwise. Apple's products are supposed to just work. I am not finding that to be the case. Anyone with anything helpful please?

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.
