Opening YouTube etc videos with QuickTime

I have tried using QuickTime to open videos on YouTube and similar internet sites by using the "Open URL" option. QuickTime tells me that I need an extra component but is not specific as to what that component might be.
Can anyone advise please?
Thanks in anticipation.
Rob

And the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.

Hi Tim ..
Reinstall Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard
Then restart your Mac. Try Safari.
If it crashes again, uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Quit then relaunch Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info.
If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

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

So I bought a video on iTunes, how do I make it compatible with iMovie so I can edit it and make my own video? If I can't do this, then how do those people on YouTube make videos with clips from TV shows and Movies?

Videos purchased from iTunes cannot be copied.

How do I Capture Streaming video with Quicktime Pro?

In Lamonts post about converting video for the iPod, it was pointed out that one can capture streaming video (Steve Jobs Keynote speech for instance), with Quicktime Pro. I have QT7.04 Pro, but don't know how to do this simple thing. Can someone please tell me?
Smartmart

it's possible. i did it myself, after a few tryouts.
i still can't get the best result, but i got something.
first of all you have to save the streaming file(thru the save as qt movie, from CTRL-click). when you get a stream it gets cached on your computer. you might playback it even when offline. so if all that you need is a simple playback, that's ok. but it's a cache, sometime the system will erase it from your HD.
if you want to keep it as a qt file(or any other format) thats this is the deal. when you save the stream file, it saves a reference file(4kb) that reads the cache. you cannot recover them from the cache, not even by changing the termination, because the qt player won't recognize the .qtch files transformed into .mov.
open the file(reference you saved before), choose export from the file menu, and choose the setting that you want. i still don't get a good quality(i know it's incredible that a stream file has a better quality...) and i still have to export the video separated from the audio. but if you need only the moving image to edit a homevideo, and your only source is a stream, it's a start.
so if anyone feel like growing the knowledge tree, let's go ahead.

Can I cut & past MOV videos with QuickTime Pro ?

I have a couple of DigiCam Quicktime MOV videos which I want to cut & paste.
Is this possible with a QuickTime Pro installation (under WinXP) ?
Is there any other alternative software which let me do such simple tasks with Quicktime MOV videos?
Peter

Yes.
QuickTime Player Pro allows editing of nearly any format it can "play". MPEG-1 can be viewed but not edited.

Trouble viewing streaming video with Quicktime

This is a problem I have no encountered before, and I am hoping someone has an idea, because I'm fresh out.
A user has to take a class that involves her logging into a webiste with her own unique ID, and watching a video before it will allow her to take a test. It is a quicktime streaming video. When she attempts to watch the video, all she gets is a large quicktime symbol with a bar going back and forth under it, as though it were loading, but it never loads. Here comes the odd part. We had another user log into the website ont the same computer and she was able to watch the video just fine. We then had the original user try to watch on a different computer, and she was still not able to watch, though another user was able to watch the video with their own login on that computer as well. We believe it is a problem with her account on that website, but I am just curious if quicktime has any quirks that might cause this? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

I cannot imagine that the problem is due to QuickTime or any other fault on the computer. If it were, it's highly likely that all users logging in from that same computer would have the same problem, and the problem would not be moving with that user to other computers.
I think it's almost certainly something amiss with your user's account on your server.

Firefox is not allowing me to install the latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube etc. any suggestions?

Hi there, Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player, or older versions that would allow me to open youtube and is continuouing to block it. any suggestions?

'''''"... Firefox not accepting latest version of Flash Player ..."'''''
Firefox shouldn't keep you from installing Flash; Firefox needs to be closed before attempting to install Flash - Adobe rules for installing Flash.
Also, it seems that you have a real old version of Flash installed.
'''Shockwave Flash 9.0 r45'''
Two versions of Flash Plugins installed may confuse Firefox as to which version to use.
You should download and run the Adobe Flash uninstaller program before attempting to install Flash.

Downloading Youtube videos with Quicktime 7 Pro?

I'm considering downloading Quicktime Pro 7 for my MacBook. On the Apple website, it says that I can use Quicktime Pro 7 to download videos from the internet. Will this work with Youtube? Thanks.

No.

I have no sound with videos, using Firefox youTube, etc.) With Google Chrome, I get the sound. Why?

When I try to play a video on Firefox. The movie plays, but there's no sound. I checked ALL of the computer settings, and video settings. If I switch to Google Chrome, and play the same video, I get terrific sound. This switch is done without modifying ANY of the controls....just switching browsers. Why no sound?

Hi TommyB,
It could be a couple of things. You might have accidentally muted audio for Firefox. The article Knowledge Base article [[No sound in Firefox]] will show you how to check.
If that doesn't work, you should look at [[Video or audio does not play]]. This will show you how to troubleshoot any plugin/extension issues that might be impacting your system.
Hopefully this helps!

Cannot stream youtube/vimeo videos using QuickTime Player

I have a youtube video I would like to stream in QuickTime Player, I go to File/Open Location and paste the URL and click open I get this message: "The operation could not be completed". Can anyone help? I have tried this with vimeo as well.

I had a similar problem once, but it was duplicated audio, not video.
I fixed it by uninstalling Quicktime, rebooting, then reinstalling Quicktime.

Can't see Thumbnail or open MPEG-2 videos with QT

Hello, I am new to MAC and not really a computer expert. I have transfered all my video mpg2 files on my new MAC (from a Sony DCR-SR85 which has a hard drive / i transfered the file to my computer as if it was an external drive). Thumbnails do not appear and i can't open with QT (no codec). I can open with VLC, but to check the file, rotate them, etc... i would like to see the thumbnails (so no need to open them 1 by 1). I looked at a few forums and responses seem very technical so i could not figure out what to do; i still have checked that:
- I have OS 10.7.5 so reading MPG-2 should be possible ?
- i have found in system / library / QT file (after struggling to find how to get there...) that i have indeed a file Apple MPG2 Codec component
- i have also read it might be the Sony files are not exactly MPEG2 ?
My main aim is to locate the Video which need to rotated, so i can do the same with Image Browser from my Canon Camera.
Is there is an easy fix, that would be great. I there is a specific Software which could help, i may get it.
Thanks for your help.
As it is the first time i try to post sth on internet, i am not even sure how i will see respone if any, but that will be the second step.
Cheers
Serge

Hello QuickTimeKirk, thanks for taking the time to reply to my query. I have just opened up one of the few video i can open with QT (.Avi) and i could check that the version of Quick Time i have is indeed 10.1, so it does not seem to be the issue. Opening of the files is not my worst concern, although it would be great to be able to open them. What bugs me is the fact that if i look in a certain subdirectory with a set of videos coming either from my Canon Ixus or from my wife Canon Ixus or from my Sony Camcorder (.AVI, .MOV or .Mpeg), either in Finder, Image Browser, or even Adobe Premiere, i can't even see the thumbnail of the mpeg2 file, so it is dificult to sort out. Any ideas ? Cheers. Serge

When i export my video with quicktime, it then has no sound. why?

QuickTime Pro can't extract audio from muxed file formats (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash).
MPEG Streamclip (free) can.

Recording videos with QuickTime

Is there any way to record videos other than from a video camera, using QuickTime Player Version 7.1.3? I want to record videos already saved on my computer, but when opening a new recorder it says that no recording device is found. Is there any way to switch to an internal recording device?

QuickTime Pro "New Video Recording" requires a Firewire connected camera.
What you are trying to do is record what plays on your screen:
