Opening an external QuickTime movie

How simple but I can't get it working. I want to open an
external mov. file from a button within Flash, exactly as you would
from an html button. you know... opens in its own window.
What would the script be for this?
Thanks
John

Sorry I'm being a bit thick here.
Does '<embed src="myMovie.mov" width="number"
height=number+16" controller="true">' go into the destinationa
html with 'number' replaced by size of movie?
I've used Golive and it's put all this quicktime Activex
stuff in but doesn't seem to work.

    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
    You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

  • Quicktime Movies that Open in Safari eat up hard drive space. Howto Delete?

    I have a Mac Book Pro. The hard drive space is minimal as you probably know. Whenever I open up a Quicktime Movie in Safari the movie will open in a new Safari window. Some of the movies are rather large trailers and what not. I notice that my hard drive space goes down with each movie I open. Where are these movies saved? How do i clear up this space after i'm done watching? I hate needing to delete other stuff to open up quicktime movies.

    If you've set the cache to 100 MB's that all QuickTime will use.
    You're going to have much bigger issues with such little free space on your drive. Why not buy a cheap external drive and move large folders like Music, Movies and Pictures to it.
    iTunes, iPhoto and iMovie can all store their files on external drives.

  • How do I get Javascript or HTML to open a QuickTime movie as a slideshow?

    I have turned a 320x240 pixel photo sequence into a QuickTime movie using the "File > Open Image Sequence ..." option. However, that required I specify an equal amount of time to display each photo.
    Using the following JavaScript, I can, from within a webpage, play that QuickTime movie as a movie in another window by simply clicking on the link to it in the webpage:
    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- hide this script from old browsers
    // This script opens a new browser window and writes
    // HTML to play an video with a title and caption
    function show_movie( pFileName, pTitle, pCaption, pEnd) {
    // specify window parameters
    movieWin = window.open( "", "", "width=370,height=400,status,scrollbars,resizable");
    // wrote content to window
    movieWin.document.write('<html><head><title>' + pTitle + '</title></head>');
    movieWin.document.write('<BODY BGCOLOR=#000000 TEXT=#FFFFCC LINK=#33CCFF VLINK=#FF6666>');
    movieWin.document.write('<center>');
    movieWin.document.write('<font size="+1" face="arial,helvetica"><b>' + pCaption + '</b></font><br>');
    movieWin.document.write('<object width="320" height="256">');
    movieWin.document.write('<embed src="' + pFileName + '" width="320" height="256" autostart="true" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed></object><p>');
    movieWin.document.write('<font face="arial,helvetica">');
    movieWin.document.write('' + pEnd + '<br>');
    movieWin.document.write('<p></font></body></html>');
    movieWin.document.write('<form>');
    movieWin.document.write('<input type=button value="Close Window" onClick="javascript:window.close();" name="button">');
    movieWin.document.write('</form>');
    movieWin.document.close();
    // If we are on NetScape, we can bring the window to the front
    if (navigator.appName.substring(0,8) == "Netscape") movieWin.focus();
    // done hiding from old browsers -->
    </SCRIPT>
    But some photos need to be displayed for a longer time than others.
    QuickTime 7.1.2 "View > Present Movie > Slideshow > Play" will play the movie as a slideshow -- the person looking at it has full control over how much time a photo is displayed before going to the next one.
    My JavaScript allows the user to pause the movie and continue it at will, but if I can modify it to play the movie directly as a slideshow like QuickTime 7.1.2, please let me know how.
    Thank you.

  • I have a quicktime movie on a hard drive, and I have the hard drive plugged into my macbook, and the quicktime movie is not opening, its just a black screen. How do I convert it to the right file so I can watch it ?

    I have quicktime movie files on a hard drive, and normally when I plug the hard drive into my computer, I can open the quicktime files and watch them. Now when I am doing it, the quicktime movies are opening up with a black screen. How do i convert it to be in the right format to be able to watch ?

    I plugged my old drive into an identical Vostro and saved my bookmarks per the instructions. Later, when I check the file, it was in html format. While waiting for the replacement laptop to arrive, I put my old (Vostro) hard drive into a case so I could access the files. I have been able to launch web pages from the file bt accessing them through My Documents so I know the file is good. The problem is, I apparently need to convert them into a JSON file in order to use them. There is a set of instructions on the Mozilla/Firefox website but that method does not work.

  • I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5  when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through .  My Sound effects and music can be heard.  I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.

    I have FCE 4.0.1 and running OS x 10.7.5  when i burn my movie the audio from my movie clips don't come through .  My Sound effects and music can be heard.  First I export to Quicktime movie, make it self contained then open IDVD for an intro and burn it.  everything sounds great in preview but then ( once again)I lose my audio from my movie clips.

    Try Mixing Down the audio before export.

  • After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete."  What can I do?

    After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time.  I receive the following error message:
    You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete.  So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
    Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it.  Now I reinstall it and  the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7.  SMH....Now what.?

    Hello, terrygav. 
    I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

  • How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

    How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

    Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
    <pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
    1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
    2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
    3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
    4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
    You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
    If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

  • QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

    Hi!
    I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
    a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
    b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
    This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
    c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
    This is my feedback.
    Thanks!!!!! :)

    I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
    The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
    Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
    Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
    1 - In Inspector > Transitions;  use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
    2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
    This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

  • Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    Can't open quicktime movie that I exported from FCP 5. Help!

    What arrow?
    Have you tried opening the file in FCP?
    If there is no error message and it will not play in QT7, it is quite possible the file is corrupted. You will need to go back to the original project and re-export the file.

  • Open a Quicktime Movie in FCE

    I'm trying to open a Quicktime movie created in FCPro so I can edit it in FCE. It's an XDCam EX 720p10 codec. Should I be able to open this?
    Thanks!

    From FCP or Compressor you can convert it to 720p30 (I don't know 720p10 is) using the Apple Intermediate Codec. That will be editable in FCE.

  • How does Apple link external "play" buttons to quicktime movies.

    If you look at some of Apple's demo movies on their website, take Motion 3 demo for an example, they use external controller buttons to control the quicktime movie. Anyone know how they do this?

    Very complex javascript files is how it's done:

  • QuickTime cannot open the file: "trampoline.mov"

    I just got a new 2.1 GHz Power PC G5 iMac with 2.5 GB RAM, 500 GB HD running Tiger 10.4.5. I used migration assistant to transfer over all my apps. etc. from my PowerBook. I tried to open Quicktime (version 7.0.1) and I got this error "QuickTime cannot open the file: "trampoline.mov". I have no idea what this means or what it is referring to. I have no knowledge of the file "trampoline.mov". I am also getting "Can not build a preview because of a problem w/Quicktime" when I try to save a document in Photoshop CS2. It appears to save the document, and the error disappears. Once, however, I left the error message up on the screen for a few minutes, and I got a "generating preview" message that appeared underneath the error. It got stuck roughly in the middle of generating the preview, and I had to force quit the application. I would appreciate any help or advice on fixing this problem. Thank you, Regina

    Upgrade QuickTime to version 7.0.4 and your troubles may disappear.
    The trampoline.mov file is part of the QuickTime Player app and is used to "bounce" you to the Internet. Remove the check mark to "Show Content Guide" when QuickTime Player is launched (Player preferences).
    I don't know why you're getting a QT error when using Photoshop. Check the Adobe Site for updates.
    I suspect some settings got mucked up during the migration from your Powerbook.
