Old .mov files not viewable in qt for 10.4.3

i have several quicktime (.mov) files from a digital camera that work fine in 10.3.9 with qt 7.0.1. i recently bought a new powerbook and the video portion of the movies is not displayed (audio is ok). any ideas?...

worked perfectly, thanks! (when i checked my old pb's scavenged hd the quicktime folder had several codecs not found in the new one-must have been installed with various hardware drivers, i guess.)
thanks!

  • Canon 5D Mark III Raw Files Not Viewable in Finder for Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    System specs:
    Computer: Mid 2008 Mac Pro - Dual Quad Core
    OS: OS X 10.6.8 (includes the most recent Digital Camera Raw Updates)
    Camera: Canon 5D Mark III
    Problem:
    Finder can not preview the thumbnails from this camera.  While not that big of a deal (I can use Lightroom, Bridge, etc to view these) it is a bit of an annoyance when transfering files around from one volume to another.
    According to this Apple support page -   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3825?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US   -  I may need to update iPhoto, in order for the Digital Camera Raw Updates to work (specifically 3.12 from last year that addressd the 5D3's raw files).
    As a pro photographer, I have ZERO use for iPhoto.  But, I would be willing to spend the $15 for the newest version of iPhoto, if I knew that would solve the Finder thumbnail problem.
    I would love a definitive answer, without having to call Apple and paying the "per-incident support fee."

    I manually installed the latest RAW update (3.13 I think - for 10.6.8) .... worked for me.
    (auto-update didn't do **** about raw update)
    now aperture and os-x (10.6.8) show the 5dmk3 raw's.

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4.  Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.  Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code.  Can not get it to upgrade.  Called Apple 2x.

    Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
    What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
    Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code.  Can not get it to upgrade.
    Did you follow the instructions found here?
    If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
    To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use.

  • Burning old .mov files in iMovie HD6 (iDVD)

    I have a number of old "movies" in the .mov format originally produced in iMovie02 and iMovie03 that I would like to burn again using the DVD burner in iLife06.
    Unfortunately the old .mov file when I do burn it produces a result with large pixels, etc
    The problem I think is that I need to somehow convert the .mov to a .dv file that the new iLife06 (iDVD) likes...
    Is this possible? Is there a way to convert old .mov files to .dv files or should I try something else?
    Many thanks for yet another dumb question!

    Have you tried importing the files into iMovie yet? iMovie should automactically convert the files to DV.
    Not knowing anything else about the xxx.mov files I suggest that.
    Can you remember when you exported them from the old iMovie versions if it was at "full quality"?
    What program did you use to burn the xx.mov files?
    Hopefully you can view them on a TV monitor once they're converted to dv inside iMovie and report back how they look.

  • Old mov files pixelate on Quicktime 7.6

    Just updated to Quicktime 7.6 and found that old mov files (over 5 years old) now have a lot of pixel distortion over the video during playback. This did not happen on previous Quicktime version as I viewed some of these files within the last two weeks.
    Can anyone help with a fix for this?
    Can I install an old version of quicktime just to play these older files?

    Cinepak is completely out of date, and from 18 years ago.
    Cinepak is a video codec developed by Peter Barrett at SuperMac Technologies, and released in 1991 with the Video Spigot, and then in 1992 as part of Apple Computer's QuickTime video suite. It was designed to encode 320x240 resolution video at 1x (150 kbyte/s) CD-ROM transfer rates. The codec was ported to the Microsoft Windows platform in 1993. It was also used on first-generation and some second-generation CD-ROM game consoles, such as the Atari Jaguar CD, Sega CD, Sega Saturn, and 3DO.
    It was the primary video codec of early versions of QuickTime and Microsoft Video for Windows, but was later superseded by Sorenson Video, Intel Indeo, and most recently MPEG-4 and H.264. However, movies compressed with Cinepak are generally still playable in most media players.
    Cinepak is based on vector quantization, which is a significantly different algorithm from the discrete cosine transform (DCT) algorithm used by most current codecs (in particular the MPEG family, as well as JPEG). This permitted implementation on relatively slow CPUs, but tended to result in blocky artifacting at low bitrates, which explained the criticism levelled at the FMV-based video games.

  • Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well,

    Hello! I used QuickTime for watch any videos on OS X Mountain Lion, but now, I'm passed to OS X Mavericks and QuickTime, when I open an .avi file, convert this in a .mov file. I'm sorry for my English, I'm French and I don't know speak English very well, but what can I do for QuickTime opens on .avi and doesn't convert to .mov?

    HI GalaxieMusique,
    I'm french too, but I'm going to write this post in english so that everyone may understand it
    I have the same problem in Mavericks, but I'd say, more important, with QuickLook.
    Indeed Quicklook can't read avi movies anymore. Actually it always been the case, but with Perian we were able to fix it. The problem is that Perian is no longer available for Mac OS 10.9....
    I'd assume that our only hope is Apple themselves... It would be nice from Apple to creat an add-on for quicklook to be able to preview the avi movies.
    In regards with quicktime, you can download QuickTime 7 here:
    http://www.01net.com/telecharger/windows/Multimedia/lecteurs_video_dvd/fiches/10 0.html
    and ask all the .avi movies to be played by QuickTime 7 and not QuickTime X (included into Mac OS).
    Sorry for the english, we french people can make mistakes sometimes
    If anyone has a solution for QuickLook, please do not hesitate. This topic is becoming a real mess....

  • PDF File not opening in browser for sharepoint 2010

    Recently we have moved our web application from one server to another in Sharepoint 2010. Back up of entire web application was taken and restored in another server. But in the new server , the PDF files in the document library is not getting opened in browser.
    it always open in browser
    I have already made following changes but didn,t work
    Set browser file handling to Permissive from central admin
    Set "open in browser" in setting s of doc library
    Set the doc library file handling property using $docLib = $web.lists["Your Document Library Title"] $docLib.BrowserFileHandling = "Permissive" $docLib.Update()
    Added "AllowedInlineDownloadedMimeType.Add("Application/Pdf") in web app
    Installed Adober eader in client machine
    Even after trying all these, the PDF files are still opening in Client application(Adobe reader) but not in the browser
    It would have been great help if anybody provide a solution for this. I have been banging head on this for two days

    It would be handy if you didn't double post too.

    To answer your question, you've tried most things that I normally see working, but there may be an extra solution here for you.  The solution 2 Powershell that deals with updating the Inline MimeType may help.

  • Why does the new Quicktime NOT play my old MOV files?

    Hi Folks.
    I'm using the lasted updated Yosemite on a 3-year old iMac.
    Back in my early iMac days (3 years ago), I imported my camcorder's AVCHD files
    into iMove or Final Cut Express and converted them to Quicktime MOV files.
    Turns out they were rendered by Apple or Final Cut into MOV files using the
    Apple Intermediate codec.  I had no choice over this.
    Until I upgraded to Yosemite, I was able to preview any of these movies
    very easily in the Finder.  Simply highlight the movie, press the spacebar,
    and it opens, in a real-time, real-size screen, with a simple play-pause button
    in the progress bar at the bottom.  Never had a problem with any previous
    Mac OS.
    Now when I click on the file in the finder, instead of a movie preview, I get a
    big, silent QT "Mov" icon that just sits there looking silly.
    I double click it to open it up in Quicktime, and it attempts to go through this
    lengthy conversion process, taking at least as long as the movie is in minutes,
    then asking me if I want to save this new "converted" version.
    Fortunately, I have an old version of Quicktime 7 on my Mac, and QT 7 opens it
    and plays it no problem.  No "conversion" necessary.  No cumbersome and
    space-hogging needs to create a "cloned" copy, just so the new, lame version
    of Quicktime can play it.
    What's up, Apple?  AIC was YOUR codec that YOUR SOFTWARE chose to
    transcode into.  Now, your new Quicktime does NOT support this codec?
    And your old version does?  And why might THAT be?
    Really, this is so elementary.  This is not rocket science.  Just like JPG images
    not displaying properly in Mac Mail now.  It begs the question "why" ...?
    I mean, for the elementary preview abilities that always made Mac such a
    friendly computer ... *uh* ... where is that?
    And here we go, wasting hours of time, looking for fixes that should not
    have to be "fixed"...
    Did I miss something?  Or did you?

    Aeclay: here's a couple of ideas.  And an answer to your earlier post.
    Basically two options to work with here:
    Store the files as native AVCHD files... OR
    Convert the files to Quicktime
    I keep two archives of my AVCHD recordings, partly for backup, and partly for Sony's ability to archive nicely in it's own native format on it's PC-friendly utility called "PMB".  (came wtih both my NEX and ALPHA cameras).   I have an old PC that I use for my complete archive; Sony's PMB utility works only on PC's and will do a good job both of archiving, providing a thumbnail database, and re-writing your choice to removable media in it's typical Sony hierarchy.
    If you've only got Mac's, you can still archive your AVCHD recordings; copy them to folders named or organized to your own spec's.   AVCHD is a high-quality compression format, and they'll take up way less disk space than converted Quicktime MOV files.   You can open and play all AVCHD movies quite easily with VLC player.
    The only extra trick to be aware of here is this.  The only reason you would need to preserve the intact "sony" folders (named "AVCHD" / "BMDV" etc) is is you were using Adobe Premiere as a video editor.  Somehow, it needs the hierarchical folder stuff in place to properly index the files.  Not mandatory, but helpful if  you are a Premiere user.  Otherwise, forget the weird "package" folders; just right-click (ctrl-click) on them, choose "view package contents" and MOVE the MTS files out of the Sony hierarchy for permanent storage.  Use VLC player to open and view them.
    From that point on,  you have control over how you manage the files and what intermediate or end-user format you convert them to for your own use.
    I'm not clear on your other question about the files that add the word "converted" on.  Of course Mac will convert to Quicktime MOV files.  Not sure what codec they're using now, likely H.264.  Anyway, don't bother converting.  It'll take up a lot of time and waste a lot of disk space.
    ps. I just found this free utility on the internet.  It's called "MTS CONVERTER". I have not tried it, but it claims to be able to convert all AVCHD files to various useable formats.
    Good luck!  (and happy Valentine's Day!)

  • MOV files not recognized for import

    I must have had an old or defective QuickTime player on my editing system when I loaded Adobe CS4. I do not have a QuickTime option for import. I updated the QuickTime Player and it is now working properly. How do I get Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 to now recognize my MotionLoops MOV files? Hopefully without reloading CS4!

    Bill, that's strange indeed. Can you successfully play the MotionLoops files directly in the QuickTime player?

  • Greyed-out movie file not syncing

    I imported a short MP4 video file into iTunes 10 for Windows. (An old educational short from RiffTrax if you're interested) It appears in iTunes okay and plays fine, but when I attempt to sync my iPhone 4, the title for that video file is greyed out on the Movies page. I have iTunes set to sync unwatched movie files, and this method has always worked for me before: download the file, move it to my movies folder, drag it into iTunes, edit the tags, and sync the device. Any ideas?

    The movie files are syncing again. It must've been something with the one that started it.

  • Imported .mov files not showing up in IMovie

    I downloaded 6-7 .mov files yesterday.   All fairly short 5-10 second clips.  The first 3 imported just fine and showed up in IMovie where I am editing a movie.
    Afterwards, when I selected "import" the computer responded the same way, as if it was importing, creating thumbnails, etc and the video shows up in finder in the right place but it does not show up in IMovie and I cannot use it in my movie.
    I selected "show all clip" and still they do not show up
    I tried importing to iPhoto first and then to iMovie but it still does not show up.   It does the same thing - acts like it is importing, creating thumbnails etc.
    THe first three that I did are still there, just fine. 

    Thanks for responding. These videos were shot on a colleague's camera then loaded to an FTP server for me to download. I have them as MP4s (though I've tried to import them after converting to .mov and .avi, still to no avail).
    I've loaded them into iPhoto, but still nothing shows up in iMovie when I click the "iPhoto Videos" tab. It's like iMovie can't see them, even though I can see and play them when I go back to iPhoto.
    One other point of interest: I tried the same process in my older version of iMovie HD, and there they would load only as audio.
    I'm flummoxed.

  • .mov Files not working in Mac but working on Windows

    I use a Kodak 10MP digital camera to click. I use it to shoot some videos too.
    I had some videos taken earlier on the camera and used to view them on windows. Just bought a Macbook a few days ago, and all those videos worked fine (transfered using an external drive). But there is something I m so confused with now.
    All the videos I shoot now, iPhoto does not import (hangs). I copied the video to windows where I could see all easily, and copied it to a pen drive. But sadly even trying to open them on pen drive doesn't work. It says its not a .mov file (dimension: -- --) whereas earlier videos be it 640x480 or HD worked fine. Do note videos are working on Windows. I have Quicktime 10.0 and player 7 installed.
    Please help.

    Won't you mid it AMAZING
    Windows Quicktime and VLC are playing the files easily. Mac OS X is not. aren't mov files exclusive to Apple?
    There are no picture settings on the camera (heck the camera is so bad you can't do anything even on trying). How is this possible that old videos worked and new aren't. I can't even sleep until I understand.
    Already feeling going the Mac way wasn't the right choice. Should have stuck with Windows.

  • Web file not viewable on the Internet

    Hello,
    Folks, my web site that was designed with PHP language in Dreamweaver CS4 is not viewable on the Internet and I need help on how to fix this problem from any one that could help me resolve this issue. My web site hosts that I tried to use for hosting my web site, could not help me some claimed that they are not web designers. I need help from any one that could help. Please help me get this right.
    As of now, I have cancelled my web host for this reason. What am I doing wrong? Or, what do I need to do that could make it work?
    Thanks,

    The next step for you to do is find another web hosting company. One that support PHP, on an Apache webserver. Since you are using the PHP lanuage for development, Apache is a good choice.
    You need to make sure that you define your site correctly in Dreamweaver once you have a new hosting company. Then you can use Dreamweaver for your FTP functions, it works well for this. Save a simple file as index.html and "put" it to your webserver and try to view it with your browser.
    Back to your original post above. It is nearly impossible for anyone to help with your question when you don't have a hosting company  for your website.
    Jim
    Edited: website is still there, it looks like your default document type is not set, or you not allowed to use PHP (contact the hosting company).. Save a simple html file as index.html and see if you can see it.
