Opening quicktime files in Linux

Does anybody knows if it is possible? How? We are considering having a shake running on a PC with Linux just for rendering while our G5 does the compositing work. The question is: Will we be able to open the quicktime files (Aja Kona 3 1920x1808 RGB 10 bit) thru the network?
We don't want to copy the files to the rendering computer. We just want to access them, open in the linux machine with Shake, and render them back to the G5.
Any help is greatly apreciated.

I can't open Quicktime files from iPhoto

I can't seem to open Quicktime files from iPhoto. I try double-clicking but nothing happens.

Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
- Did it ever work properly?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.
Posts that consist of "iPhoto doesn't work. Help" or "iPhoto won't print" or "Suddenly I have no photos!!!!!!!!!!" mean that any helper is simply guessing. With information, s/he may be able to get your issue resolved sooner.

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

Every time I am trying to open Quicktime files with my Quicktime it wants to convert the files. Why?

QuickTime version 10.3 will "convert" older legacy codecs into a more modern version. You can save this newer version and delete the older one.
This can only mean that support for those codecs will be removed completely some time in the future.

Opening Quicktime Files no longer launches Quicktime Application

I recently did an 'Archive and Install' after the latest version of Quicktime started to cause me problems. The 'Archive and Install' took me back to Quicktime 7.2. After updating the QT ap I am now back to Quicktime version 7.3.1 on OS X 10.4.10.
The problem now is that when I attempt to open a Quicktime file by double clicking on it, it will not open (If the Quicktime player is not open at the time it won't even launch). As a workaround, I am opening Quicktime files by using the 'Open' command directly from the Quicktime player menu.
While I am still able to get work done, navigating through multiple folders from the Quicktime Player menu is a huge pain. Any ideas on what went wrong and how to get things back to 'normal'?

Reinstall QT v7.3.1 from the full installer, repair permissions & restart your computer. See if that resolves the issue.

Hi.. I found the JDIC binary files. There are different binaries for all the plateform. Is there any solution which is independent of plateform.Yes, and we already told you: Use JDK6, which has those libraries built into the standard class library.
How can I use these binaries in my existing project. does it work, If I place them at same place where other .class files are kept.Read the documentation of the JDIC project. I'm sure they answer this question in their FAQ.

Open quicktime files in same window

Hi there,
as a matter of fact QuickTime is pre-configured to open files in a new window, which get's really annoying when playing a TV series.
Is it possible to configure QuickTime to open new files within the same window, so that I don't have to manually close the old file?
I would really appreciate any help regarding this topic, cause I couldn't find anything about this anywhere else.
Thank you very much!
Max

Hi,
In quicktime 7, preferences/deselect "open movies in new player". Quicktime X I don't have so can't help you, but a lot of folks are going back to 7 which should be in your utilities folder.

Why will Firefox 3.6.3 not open Quicktime files from the Apple Website on a Mac OS X 10.6.3?

While trying to view the Iphone 4 page on Apple, firefax will not open the quicktime video. But Safari will open this file. Why?

Hello superdavis78, try in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac profile folder] to delete the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profiles.ini_file profiles.ini] file to force Firefox to create a new default profile.

Open quicktime file to play movie and mac hangs and leaves artifacts (screen smear) on screen mac slows down

I recently completed a clean install of snow leopard and added some RAM to my MAC
when I open a QuickTime file... my MAC slows down, I get the rainbow pin wheel and screens and menus that I try to access start to "smear"... leave behind artifacts
ultimately the movies flutter and don't play properly, and I have to restart my MAC to reset my desktop
I suspect it may be related to my RAM because I've never had this issue previously although it only seems to occur when I use QuickTime
... also I installed "flip for mac"
I purchased the RAM from OWC
thoughts?

The codec info should have been listed before the comma that precedes 640x360. Seems to be a bug in the recent versions of QT 7. If you have QT Pro you can still find the codec name by opening Movie Properties and checking the video format that way. Anyway, since Perian cant play it I suspect you are out of luck in MacOS x. Not all avi decompressors have been ported to OS X. It may be that the compressor is one of the old Indeo codecs and those definitely will not work in X. They will work in the Classic environment but a lot of you folks have given up on Classic. Just in case here is a link to the Indeo codecs for Classic: Indeo codecs for Classic
Have you tried playing it in VLC. If it is not an Indeo file VLC may play it.
The Mac version of WMP doesn't play avi or mpeg files -- mostly it plays wmv or asf files and not even the most recent versions of those formats.

How to Use Associated App to open a file in Linux command line?

Hi all,
I know in windows i call always run:
Runtime.exec("start aPicture.jpg");in order to use the default picture viewer to view the pictures
Runtime.exec("start aEmail.eml");in order to use the default email viewer to view the .eml file
is there a simular command in linux as well? does it depend on different distributions as well?
thank you.

is there a simular command in linux as well? does it
depend on different distributions as well?In linux it's different because the handling is done by the desktop environment. KDE has it's own file associations and Gnome has it's own. There might be some way to start a file like that, but you first need to see which DE is installed (if any) and start it using that DE's method.
But I don't know how to do it, even though most likely it's possible.
Sincerely,
Jussi

Open downloaded files on linux

After files have downloaded, in the Downloads dialog, whether I right-click and select "open contaning folder" or simply "Open", firefox tries to open the selected file (or folder) in gedit, which of course gives an error. Why doesn't firefox follow the general system preferences with respect to file associations?? This is HUGELY annoying!!
Thank you

The file might have been deleted, so look in the Recycle Bin on your desktop. Also, look in the "quarantine" section of your anti-virus or clean-up software.
Finally search your entire computer for the file:
1. Press WindowsKey+F to open Windows Explorer.
2. Type the name of the file you are looking for.

Why can't I open Quicktime files in Safari

Other brousers work, but not Safari.

Quit Safari.
Open the Library folder in your home folder as follows:
☞ If running OS X 10.7 or later, hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar.
☞ If running an older version of OS X, select Go ▹ Go to Folder… from the Finder menu bar and copy the line below into the text box that opens:
~/Library
Delete the following items from the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
Relaunch Safari and test.

Safari 5.0.5 Unable To Play QuickTime Files, and Less Sites Can Be Opened

Not a day goes by, where I have to once or twice switch to Firefox to open quicktime files, or in some cases, open the site. I understand that each website has to be set-up in a certain way, but, it's, sort of ironic, not to be able to open a QT(Apple)file with Safari. This would happen every once an awhile, now it's a daily occurrence. These are always new pages(To me), not something visited before. Are fewer and fewer sites supporting Safari? Just curious.

Thank you for your reply.
From what I can determine after accessing this website that requires JRE 1.4.2_12, the registry has been updated by JRE 1.5.0_10. All the clsids for all JREs have been updated to point to c:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_10\ssv.dll.
Example:
CAFEEFAC-*0014-0002-0012*-ABCDEFFEDCBA\InprocServer32 points to c:\Program Files\Java\jre*1.5.0_10*\bin\ssv.dll.
I've seen a few postings where setting the EnableSecureStaticVersioning stops JRE 1.5.0_10 from dynamic versioning but I am unable to get that to work. One posting said to set it in HKCU and HKLM but that does not work either.

Photoshop CS6 problem opening video files

I have the trial for Photoshop CS6 and the other day I was opening video files to make gifs from perfectly fine, however, now when I try to open video files a box opens saying "Reading Video Format" and then it gets stuck and frozen. I left it for an hour, when it came back it was just the same, sometimes it makes my whole computer freeze. I've tried several times with different formats, nothing works and I cannot open any kind of video file now into Photoshop.
Is this a common problem or is there anything I can do to sort it?

I have exactly the same issue with Photoshop CS6. I cannot open video files, such as the FLV and Quicktime files I have on my PC, although these file formats work without a problem in Bridge CS6. When I attempt to open a video file, the progress bar hangs just before it reaches all the way across, and nothing happens. When I press 'Cancel', I get a message saying something like 'The file could not be opened because the DynamicLink Media Server is not available'. On a rare occasion, I can get Quicktime files to eventually open, but not without cancelling the progress in the way I have described, and trying repeatedly. However, I have NEVER managed to open FLV files by repeatedly attempting to open them in a similar way.
Just installed the Dynamic Link Media Server CS6 Update 1.0.1 in the hope that it was a bug and this update cures this issue, as it said it fixes various bugs. It is just the same.
Can anybody give me any suggestions as to what the problem might be?
I do have Premiere Elements 8 and, although I cannot use FLV files with it because it does not support the FLV format, I can open Quicktime files (a format it supports) without a problem. I would like to be able to use video files with Photoshop CS6 but, unless I can figure out what the problem is, I can only use Premiere Elements 8 for any video projects.
