Open all videos in standalone quicktime player

is it possible to force all videos to be played in the standalone quicktime player?
my hope is to be able to play any and all videos from my browser (default browser is firefox, but safari is installed too) in the proper quicktime player so i can airplay it to another device on the network (appletv on the hdtv)
it seems that certain apps or streams/videos seem to be able to airplay fine and the commonality seems to be if it will play in a native quicktime player app.
i have seen that mr jobs made a statement of safari & airplay to come in 2011, but if you can force the video into the standalone player, i wonder if it could work right now for example, i cannot get the apple.com videos to airplay...
cheers

Only if the site programmer programmed the site to do this or if you download/load the movie file in a QT player manually yourself.

I keep getting this message when i try to play a movie on my imac "2010.DvdRip.Xvid {1337x}-Noir.avi" can't be opened. I'm using QuickTime Player version 10.0(118)

I keep getting this message when i try to play a movie on my imac "2010.DvdRip.Xvid {1337x}-Noir.avi” can’t be opened. I'm using QuickTime Player version 10.0(118)

Hold on... advice to someone downloading from 1337x !!!
Until I saw your comment and googled the term, I had no idea that this was a "downloaded" file. I assumed the "1337x" reference was to dimensions/resolution and Noir referred to genre. (I.e., I use similar notations the differentiate files compressed for TV playback comparisons.) In any case, the advice is the same irrespective of the source.
er, isn't it illegal to download movies ?
Not necessarily. Thousands of movies are probably downloaded daily as legal purchases from such vendors as iTunes. Thousands more are available for free in the public domain, open source/community videos listings, and under Creative Commons Licensing. In short, there are many legal sources of downloadable content and you should not automatically jump to the conclusion that everyone is a crook.

Opening a video in Windows Media Player

How do you open a video in Windows Media Player?
The video I'm trying to open in Windows Media Player is an
avi file.
I noticed that in the Authorware 7 book, it says to simply
add a
wmp after "avi". For ex: myvideo.avi.wmp
It then says to place or import that file onto Authorware
(the flowline).
However when I play it to view, it does not open in Windows
Media
Player. Can someone help me with this problem?
Thank you.

Yes it did. Thanx Erik. Appreciate it.

times, that is

If you want to play a movie OUTside Authorware, you use the
JumpOUTReturn function, NOT the JumpFILEReturn function.
Your folder setup is good.
So with that folder setup, assuming 'myvideo.avi' is in the
same folder
as your Authorware file, just do:
JumpOutReturn("", FileLocation^"myvideo.avi")
That work for you?

HT204382 I can't open a .wmv file with quicktime player. Shouldn't I be able to?

I can't open a .wmv file with quicktime player. Shouldn't I be able to?

No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

Whenever i try to open a video it starts quicktime but can't open the actual window

It's only started happening recently but If i try to open a video, .mp4 for example, it opens quicktime and its shown on the dock and on the top bar but it doesn't actually open the window to play the thing. It just opens the app, nothing else. Does anyone know what could of caused this??

Why the video played in QuickTime Player only audio available and no picture?

Hi dear all, I need to play a video through QuickTime player 7.1.6, however there was only sound and black background shown, no picture. I have tried to play the video with Media Classic Player and it is totally fine.
The following shown the movie info:
Format: H.264 Decoder, 352x288. Millions
ACC, Stereo, 44.100 kHz
Firstly, I thought it is a problem on codec, but I have tried other movies in the same H264 codec, and it worked well.
As I need to import the movie into Cubase, so I must make this able to be played through QuickTime Player.
Appreciate much for the help!

Player version 7.1.6 is a very old version but it should play H264 / AAC videos without issue.

The Windows version of QuickTime can't open WMP (Windows Media player) formats.
Your file is .wmv so you should open it using Media Player.

How do I trim video clips in Quicktime Player? The "trim" function under the edit menu is gray and won't do anything.

I am trying to edit video clips from about two yesrs worth of video for an iMovie. I don't want to load all of the clips into a new event because it would be hours worth of video. I don't even know if iMovie could handle it. I have tried to use Quicktime Player to do this, but the "trim" function under the edit menu is gray and won't let me do anything. What can I do?

Thank you so much!
It works!
I used this code...
videoDisplay.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, videoCompleteHandler);
private function videoCompleteHandler(event:VideoEvent):void {
     hideVideo();
private function hideVideo():void {
     this.visible = false;
     this.includeInLayout = false;
I have a follow up question...
What is the syntax to target the video player from a different component to add an event listener to a button in the Sharing Widget called Back to Video?
Thanks!!

IMovie update-when will it open all video formats

Its time iMovie was able to open various video formats (a lot of formats are inaccessible such as .dat, .mkv etc). Now, as a user, it doesn't matter whether the software is hi-fi, all that matters is readability, something that Apple must consider in their iMovie update. A lot of old timers used to have video CDs, now the user is busy using another cheap 3rd party software to convert .dat/.mkv into iMovie formats, the whole concept of video quality is lost there itself.

if u get any solution to this problem pls tell me also i am facing same problem.......no updates available

Firefox add-on that opens YouTube videos with a native player

Put this together today after getting fed up with YouTube's crappy player. It removes the player from any YouTube page and instead plays the video mpv. It also supports playlists if that's your sort of thing.
Demonstration
Source code and install instructions
Hope someone else finds this useful.

Ah, I've not yet had that problem. What exactly are the youtube credentials used for?

Stopping quicktime player from opening

hi everyone,
Im pretty thick when it comes to this kind of stuff. Im gonna install quicktime pro but how do i stop the factory installed quicktime player from opening when i want to watch movies?

Right click on a movie file and go to 'Get Info...' Twirl down the 'Open With' section and select 'QuickTime Player 7.app' (This is QuickTime Pro). Then click the 'Change All' button.
You will need to do this for every movie file type, ie. .mov, .mp4, .mpg, etc.
Unfortunately this process may not work for everyone. QuickTime X, (the default Quicktime Player.app in Leopard and Snow Leopard), tends to override your player preferences. If after clicking the 'Change All' button it reverts back to QuickTime Player.app, then you will know. You can fix this by installing the Preference Panel RCDefaultApp. http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/
You can then use RCDefaultApp, (found in your System Preferences after installation), to change your file type associations.
I think it's pretty ridiculous that Apple tries to force QT X over the Pro version, but it is what it is I suppose and this is one way to fix it.

Quicktime Player Has Suddenly Started Recording My Videos Fast

All Of A Sudden Quicktime Player Has Been Recording My Screen Really Fast, It Does It Whilst Playing Games And My Normal Desktop Too.
If Someone Can Help Please Reply.

Hi RhysF78,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
What version of Quicktime Player are you using? Do you get the same behaviour in a different user account on your iMac? Here are a few suggestions to address this issue. I'm including some articles from our Knowledge Base with more detailed information:
1) Quit all open applications and restart the computer ... often times this "refreshes" your system.
2) Try and SMC / PRAM reset
3) Uninstall the Quicktime application and redownload it. This will not affect any movies you've already created.

Can I set my Macbook to open automatically all video files with VLC?

I have some movies that I have download and they automatically open with quick time. But then the message error comes about because it can not open it!
Now my question is can i set the computer to open all Video with VLC?
I have a macbook Mac OX Lion 10.7.
Thank you

Choose any one of the files you want to have opened by VLC by clicking once on it (highlight it, don't open it).
Right/control click on it and choose Get info. Or press -i
In the Info dialog box, select the pop up menu under "Open with:"
Choose VLC from the list.
Click the "Change all" button just below. You may need to confirm this.
That should do it.

Quicktime Player won't play avi files all of a sudden

All of a sudden Quicktime Player won't play my avi files. They worked previously. I could play them with Quicktime 7 with or without Perian. I'm running 10.6.4.
They'll run fine on my MacBook and I don't have Perian installed on it.
Any ideas?

I just uninstalled Flip4Mac and everything is working as it's supposed to. Very strange. Perhaps a conflict with Perian? But then again, QT didn't play the avi files with Perian installed. So, I guess the conflict is with Flip4Mac and something else.
Thanks anyway
