No video - only audio- in .mov files

I downloaded some training videos from the internet. They are Quicktime .mov files. When I open them in Quicktime, I get lovely sound, but a black screen. This is what I have tried:
1. Installed Perian
2. Imported into iMovie
3. Opened with Miro
None of those worked. I am able to play other .mov files, as well as .avi, .mpg and .mp4
I have the latest version of the QuickTime player (7.2). What gives?

Hi.
Have you tried loading Perian (www.perian.org)? That will provide you with many additional CODECs which SHOULD solve the problem...

No Video/Only Audio On .mov files exported from Final Cut

I've exported some .mov files from Final Cut on another computer, moved them to this one, and only the audio will play when I try to play them in any program. QuickTime, VLC, MPEG Streamclip, Real Player--nothing will play the video. I either get a black screen or a white screen. I even tried converting a portion of the video to a different file type to see if that could work.
Anyone know what I could do?

Yes, you are correct--it does play fine on the computer I originally had the file on. But I just checked and I do have perian already.
I'm wondering--I exported the file in Final Cut Pro 6, and on my computer I only have Final Cut Pro 5. Could that possibly have any effect on why it might not be working?

No video (only audio) in wmv file played in Quicktime

This has come up a couple of times recently with wmv files played in QT through Flip4Mac.
A window [sic] comes up saying "Additional software is required for Quicktime to playback this media. It may be available from the Quicktime Components page." When I click to go to the components page there's a whole raft of different components by different companies but none says anything about the problem I have. Even getting any of those components, let alone installing them, is too confusing to go there. There are very few of these kinds of unplayable (video only) wmv files, so I'm wondering if I should just give up trying to find a solution or if there is something out there that I should try.
Thanks for any help or advice on this subject.

Only imports audio, no video when using DSLR .mov files

I just upgraded to CS6 on my Mac Lion. I created a project using the DSLR settings and tried to import a .mov video clip taken from my Canon 5D camera. Strange thing is it only imported the audio and not the video. I tried many of clips and just audio.
As tests, I tried importing a .mpeg clip from an HDV camcorder and it worked fine. I also changed the extension of the DSLR clip to .mpeg and it still didn't work. The DSLR clips imported fine in CS4, but not CS6. Also as another test, I tried importing on a different Mac computer using Premiere Pro CS6 (from creative cloud) and it imported perfectly. So I'm not sure why it's doing it on my computer? The files open fine in QuickTime.
The only thing that worked was I exported the .Mov files from the DSLR to a HDV .Mov file and it DID import correctly. I don't want to have to go through that step everytime though (or loss the quality)
Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks

I too am having this problem. The video I am trying to import is a .MOV file from a Canon 5D Mark III. When I check the properties of the file in Premiere Pro 5.5, this is what it says:
File Path: S:\Photos\5D mark 3\Video\0F2A0089
Type: QuickTime Movie
File Size: 55.7 MB

As you can see PP 5.5 notices the video; it even tells me the # of frames in the video but it won't display it. It might be worth saying the video files from my Canon XF100 work just fine. This is extremely frustrating. Any help would be very much appreciated.

QuickTime stand alone not playing video, only audio

Am running QuickTime stand alone on my PC with Windows XP Home 2002. For some reason the .mov files that were created with my digital camera will not play video (only audio) on this computer. The files seem to play fine on other computers. Have also found out that I can play downloand or streamed videos (only audio).
Can't figure out why video won't play. Other video formats (.avi for example) play fine through Windows Player.
Any insight? . . . anyone?

Atv2,atv3 iphone5 ipad2 airport extreme base station. NO video only audio.

I have an atv2 and atv3 on an AirPort Extreme base wifi network. All devices with latest software. I can play audio, show pictures, and play videos from iTunes (preview videos) on all devices. When I buy a video from iTunes, play the video and press the airplay button i only have audio and a small badge of the video in the bottom left corner but no video. Also no YouTube videos only audio. I have reset all devices and same results. Been battling this a while and would appreciate any help.

Also have home sharing turned on and signed in...

With Premiere elements 11, when Publish/Share (saving) a finished video, selecting H.264 .mov file type, what are the recommended Codec and Aspect settings for a crisp video and a small file size?

We will customize a very detailed reply, but
(a) What are the properties of your source media?
(b) What did you or the program set as the project preset to match the properties of the source media?
(c) What specific requirements do you have for this H.264.mov export file?
File size can be a compromise between bitrate, file size, and quality.
Thanks.

CNBC podcast is missing video only audio?

Does anyone experience CNBC Fast Money, Mad Money, and other CNBC shows podcast is missing video only audio? Is this an issue with the podcast?

iPhone, PC, table, etc ... FastMoney & MadMoney are 'audio' only (iTunes even list it as such) ... 'On the Money with Maria Bartiromo' is listed in iTunes as "video', but it does nt work at all ... I have to believe we need to connect CNBC

No video (black), audio only, from imported .mov files

Bear with me while I explain the whole process to get where I am, which is that in FCE, I am importing .mov files and they are completely black, no video, just audio. When I bring a clip into the timeline and try to render even a small clip, it is still black.
I'm not well-versed in video so please bear with me:
Steps:
1. I received large video files from a videographer
2. the large files could not be imported or played in FCE
3. downloaded HandBrake converter and began converting files. Kept them at the same size, but they were then renamed .mov files.
4. When I open them in QuickTime, they are black - no video. But when I see them on the drive and press spacebar in 'finder' to play them, I can see the video.
5. When I import them into FCE they are black - no video - just audio.
FCE is currently set (in Easy Setup) to: AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920-1080i60
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried converting one file to mp4 and it works fine in FCE, but this takes a long, long time to convert.
thanks
There is a 2nd issue that may relate to this: I am trying to import JVC .m4v files and I am getting "File error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unkown". These files CAN be opened in Quicktime.
FCE HD 4.0.1
Mac OS 10.6.8

I'm having similar, but slightlly different issues.
I have been using FCE 4 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec. This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file. GRRRR!
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
Thanks so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Steve

No video only audio in front row from my .mov files from my Iphone 3gs

Hello people,
I am having trouble with front row playing my video's shot with my Iphone 3gs.
At first, I only had audio and no video, but since the software update it was working fine.
But I just Imported some new vids from my Iphone to my mini.
The old vids have video and audio, but the newly imported vids I only hear audio and see no video....
Anyone knows how to fix this??
Thanks

Hi.
Have you tried loading Perian (www.perian.org)? That will provide you with many additional CODECs which SHOULD solve the problem...

No Video, Only Audio on H.264 movies

I just received some H.264 movies from a video editor. When I try to play them I get a pop up window stating that "Additional software is required for Quicktime to playback this media. etc..." but I have no idea what that additional software is. I viewed an old discussion and saw were someone else had this same problem and they downloaded Perian and fixed the problem but this did not work for me. All I am getting is audio and blank white screen.

Hello, and welcome to the forums!
That error message generally means that Quicktime doesn't have the correct codec to play back the video or audio. an H.264 movie usually has AAC audio, but not always, as you can add other codecs.
Try something - open the video in Quicktime, then press Command+i (Apple+i) to do a "Get info" on the video. It will display the codecs used in the video. Look at the audio codec - an unsupported codec may be the problem. If so, see if you can download a codec for it. The fact that Perian didn't work is odd...
Also, if you just want to play it back, try the VLC player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - it works with a lot of movies that Quicktime won't work with. If this doesn't work, I'm not sure what to suggest. You may be able to convert the movie to another format using a program like iSquint/VisualHub, or FFmpegX.

Capturing multiple video streams into a movie file

I am using QTKit to capture 3 media streams simultaneously: audio, video, and display (display is screen capture), and would like to capture them in a time-synchronized fashion to a single .mov file.
I have been able to successfully capture these three streams to 2 separate .mov files by using 2 QTCaptureSessions (one for audio/video, one for display video), but the problem here is that the 2 files are not time-synchronized (I have no idea how to synch them after the fact).
The more intuitively correct thing to do is to use a single QTCaptureSession instance with 3 inputs (2 video inputs and one audio) to do the capture, which should automatically synch all the streams. Furthermore, since the .mov file can support an arbitary number of streams, I figured wiring up the QTCaptureSession to output to a single .mov file would be easy. I was wrong.
The problem is that even though my QTCaptureSession has 3 nice input connections (2 video and 1 audio), when I wire up a QTCaptureMovieFileOutput to it, the resulting QTCaptureMovieFileOutput object has ONLY 2 connections: a single video and a single audio.
Here is snippets of what I am doing:
// add audio input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeAudio), succeeds
[qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtAudioDevice] error:&qtError]
// add video input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeVideo), succeeds
[qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtVideoDevice] error:&qtError]
// add display input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeVideo), succeeds
[qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtDisplayDevice] error:&qtError]
// create file output
QTCaptureMovieFileOutput * qtFile = [[QTCaptureMovieFileOutput alloc] init];
[qtSession addOutput:qtFile error:&qtError];
// PROBLEM: if I look at this array of connections, it has ONLY 2 connections
// 1 video, 1 audio!!!
NSArray *connections = [qtFile connections];
// start capture running
[qtSession startRunning];
// wire up to my file
[qtFileOutput recordToOutputFileURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:outputFileName]];
I desperately need help....my questions:
1. Since QTCaptureSession supports arbitary inputs, and QTMovie supports arbitrary # of streams, I can't believe it's not possible for me to simply "hook" all the inputs of QTCap to output connections that will write to streams in one movie file. Clearly, QTCaptureMovieFileOutput is not doing this...can anyone tell me how to do this? This can't be hard, right?
2. If I have to fall back on the ridiculous approach of capturing 2 unsynchronized .mov files and somehow synching them after the fact, can anyone provide a pointer on how to do that?
Thanks VERY much!
Steve

ITunes after 10.8.3 combo update doesn't play video, only audio with a black screen

My iTunes has been randomly playing really old QuickTime files as I've had iTunes start in 32 bit mode. That worked for a while, but like I said, it has stopped working and iTunes is back to not playing older QT movie files. Fine.
Now, however, iTunes didn't play a PROTECTED file that I purchased from the iTunes store. I made sure my computer was authorized to play the file, the store said my computer was already authorized. iTunes plays the AUDIO of the selected video, but only shows a black window where the video should be playing. It did this for several videos. I was confused.
I restarted my computer and now iTunes is playing the file as it should. It is not however playing my MPG QuickTime movie files that it has played for years.
What is going on with the software? I've followed the threads telling me to remove Perian, remove, Filp4Mac, restart, run in 32-bit mode, etc and nothing is now working when those solutions worked just last week.
Any input about what I should try next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Chad

Quicktime 10 will not play video, only audio

Hi -
I cannot get my .mov files (with codec that is DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Integer (Little Endian)) to play video in Quicktime 10... it will only play audio. That said, my .avi files from my digital camera play fine. I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Since I am paying extra for HBO you would think that HBO wouldn't care if I watched HBO To Go on my TV using Apple TV. What is the difference to them if I am watching on my phone, iPad, computer, or my TV. If this app did start working on Apple TV, then HBO might get more people to shell out the $15 for HBO. Maybe we should figure out who we can talk to at Apple? If this app starts working on Apple TV you would think more people would throw down the $99 for Apple TV.
it has nothing to do with apple.
the developers of the app and owners of the rights of the content are the only ones who can make it happen.
