Partial streaming with quicktime 7 pro

When a file is clicked (such as a trailer), the file only goes 11 seconds and halts. The cache is turned way up, to higher than the file size (124mb) and no selection is available to download or save the file. Is there an option in quicktime that I am missing that will allow the entire file to finish streaming? I am on a 1mb/sec line on an college LAN, so connection is not a problem, and i have 1gb of RAM.

Most of the trailers "download" over HTTP servers and are not "streamed" using RTSP servers.
The settings you adjusted in the QT Control Panel allow you to set the "cache" size and your connection speed. You seem to have them correct so I suspect a problem with the file.
Try a smaller file sized trailer. If one works they all should work.
Some files require a very fast computer and a newer (better) video card. If your computer doesn't meet the requirements for HD trailers you will not be able to view them.

With Quicktime 7 Pro for Windows, is there a plug-in or add-on to have the screen recording capability?

With Quicktime 7 Pro for Windows, is there a plug-in or add-on to have the screen recording capability?

Screen recording is not a feature of QuickTime Player 7 Pro (Mac or Windows).
QuickTime X (ten) is Mac only software that does include screen recording features.

I downloaded a movie with Quicktime 7 Pro onto a DVD, but it won't play in my DVD player.

I downloaded a movie from the internet using Quicktime 7 Pro. I put it on a DVD so that I could watch it on my television. The disc isn't recognized and won't play on my DVD player. What can I do to get it to play?

Encoding to high profile h.264 with quicktime (7 pro) export

Is there anyway to encode high profile h264 with quicktime export ?
Been using a canon HF100 for years now, and my goal is to edit and export my movies to h264 with the least quality lost. I can edit(trimming and merging) without quality loss. My endresult is in AIC codec, but when I export it to H264 in quicktime, in the highest settings, I can still see quality(or actually, color depth) loss in low light scenes.
Even with a bitrate which is almost identical to the AIC file...
I have a 130.2Mb (52.7Mbps) h264 main@Level 5 with 2 reference frames/second clip that looks worse the the original AIC file(56.9Mbps) of 143.8Mb
The canon HF100 records in high profile at level 4.0 (high@L4) with 17Mbps. It does 2 reference frames per second and CABAC.
So in theory exporting my projects at 17Mbps should be enough, if only the right settings where available in quicktime export.
Is there anyway to convert AIC to High profile settings, CABAC(available in main profile but not used bij quicktime in h264 output) on the MAC ?
My workflow:
1. I use shedworx VoltaicHD to convert my AVCHD files to AIC (pretty much lossles)
2. I use Imovie 6 to create a new Project in the following structure: HDV1080i
3. I don't import the AIC files with iMovie but I dump them with Finder in the "media" folder of the Imovie project.(This way I can maintain the 1920x1080 resolution, with importing it gets 1440x1080)
4. Then I open the project in Imovie, open the trashcan and see my movie clips.
5. Then the trimming, cutting and merging begins, no use of effects(adding effects creates 1440x1080 video)
6. Time for export with quicktime h264 codec.

Hi MartinR,
Some answers on your thoughts:
"You have an AVCHD camcorder. Where did you get the technical information that it records HiProfile/Level 4/2 ref frames per sec/CABAC?"
-I'v dropped some original mts files from my camera on a program called "mediainfo" from sourceforge net.
"VoltaicHD's conversion isn't exactly 1920x1080, either. Open one of your AIC files in QT Player, do Window > Show Movie Inspector and tell us what it says for format and fps. 1440x1080? 1888x1062?"
-Both mediainfo and quicktime (7 pro and the new quicktime) show in their info that the movie format from voltaicHD file is 1920x1080.
But I can remember I've seen the 1888x1062 resolution in the info in the past. Maybe things where changed by a new version of voltaic or an update by quicktime ?
" certainly understand your efforts to get the results you want with what you have on hand. However you will be better off with iMovie11 and/or Final Cut Express 4 or Final Cut Studio 6. FCP 6 by the way supports ProRes which, if you are very driven for the highest technical qualities, would be the way to go."
I thought about buying imovie 11 in the app store. For 11,99 euro's it's a bargain!
But a little search on the forums kept me from buying it.
My camera puts out interlaced files, even when I record progressive. This is done by most camera manufacturers for compatibility on blu ray players and older lcd and plasma tv's.
Now it seems that if you use effects in imovie 11, it drops half the fields, resulting in 960x540 resolution...In that case imovie 6 with 1440x1080 supported effects is still better.
The same 1440x1080 limitations seems to exist in Final cut express 4.
I know the backdoor in imvie06 works, you can see the 1920 to 1440 resolution drop with your own eyes when effects are added. The drop is only visible in the frames that contain a special effect, the rest of the exported movie is untouched and still 1920.
I did some thinking, and what bothers me the most is that exporting the movie results in loss of color depth/detail. I could imagine that if I could use Prores422 instead of AIC, which is only available in FCP (999Euro's!). That the end result is better, but I'm not sure.
Could be that the colors of the original movie file are spread more over the range because it supports 10 bit sample depth instead of 8. Even when that is true, I am not sure if the h.264 codec will tread it different and maintains some more color depth.
And for fact the avchd files are 4:2:0 and not 4:2:2.
Do you or anyone know if there is any different in quality in an exported to h.264 pro resolution file or an AIC file. Even when the source is 8 bit 4:2:0 ?

Logic Studio comes with quicktime 7 Pro. where is it?

as the box indicates in the "contents" section beside the requirements section in the top side of the box, it gives the list of all the softwares that come with logic studio (e.i. logic pro, soundtrack pro2, waveburner, compressor... blah blah blah all that... but it says close to the end: quicktime PRO 2, which i guess is a "better" version, or it has more features... i dont know. the thing is i dont quite see that i actually have it installed on my mac. when i open quicktime and check on the "about quicktime.." it says its only quicktime.. but doesnt say anything about being PRO 2. its also the 7.5.5 version...
Since i installed everything from logic studio.. and still cant seem to find a way to see that QT pro 2 has been installed on my mac, can anyone explain to me what could be happening?
thanks.

This has had a lot of people confused. Logic doesn't actually come with any software for Quicktime Pro, because you already have it imbedded into the regular version of Quicktime. When you buy QTP, or buy something like Logic that includes it, it simply 'unlocks' your regular version of Quicktime, which allows you access to a bunch of features that regular Quicktime didn't have.
Open System Preferences->Quicktime, and it should say: 'Registered To: Apple Pro Apps User' and 'Registration Code: Automatic.' You'll also notice that the 'Q' graphic on that window has a little 'PRO' tag on it too.
If you were still running the regular Quicktime, when you went to the QT Player, and dropped down any of the menus from the menubar, most of the options would be grayed out and say 'Pro Only,' or something like that. Now all of the options in those menus will be available.
And yes, it should be version 7.5.5.

Play files out of a firewire port with Quicktime 7 pro?

Does anyone know if this is possible?
I playback preview files (mov,dv, etc) on quicktime pro all the time, and it would be helpful if I could view them on my plasma via my firewire port (the same way I do in Logic or Pro Tools).

I don't 100% understand what you are asking - your firewire port on your mac or on an external drive?
I am playing .mov files from a MacMini to a Panasonic 65 inch plasma via DVI cable... The plasma is working basically as a HUUUGE computer monitor. Not a direct answer to your question, but I know DVI directly from your Mac to the Plasma (provided the plasma has DVI in) works if you need an alternative. If the plasma only has VGA in, you can get less quality, but still success with the DVI-RGB converter from your mac to the plasma.

Hello everybody. I am trying to reinstall my Quicktime 7 Pro after having my MacBook OSX 10.5.8 cleaned out following a hacking. I have Quicktime player and I reregistered with the purchased registration code for Quicktime 7 pro. It seems to be successfully registered with "Quicktime 7 Pro" appearing under the inserted registration code but it is not showing in Applications folder and I do not know how to access it or what to do. Thanks for reading this. I hope you can help me. Aidan from Dublin, Ireland.

DLSR issue causing dropped streams with Helix Server

It appears from my testing, research and confirmation from Real Networks that the QuickTime 7 Player has not followed the RFC for DLSR (Delay Since Last Sender Report) time stamps. I think this is causing movies created with QuickTime 7 Pro and streaming from Real Helix Server (in my test 11.1.1) to be dropped. Below is a post from another QuickTime user experiencing the same thing with some detail regarding the time stamp difference. In my case, I streaming some H.264 QuickTime Movies from Helix server and the streams are being dropped consistently. Real and WMV files are streaming flawlessly.
My questions are:
Does anyone know if this is indeed a problem with QuickTime?
Has Apple acknowleged this to be a problem?
Does anyone know a workaround?
What is very strange about the problem is that does not occur every time on some of my test computers. Out of 7 computers tested (both Mac and Windows) 2 have not displayed the problem on first try but I cannot for the life of me figure out what the difference(s) might be and why the time stamp issue would not cause the first stream to drop.
http://lists.apple.com/archives/streaming-server-dev/2006/Nov/msg00027.html
Thanks to anyone who can help.

anystreamcarl:
Did you ever sort this out? We have an Axis camera we're testing and trying to get it to stream through our Helix server. The player always stops showing content at 65 seconds but displays no other indications of problems (timer continues, etc). Since RealPlayer is actually calling QuickTime to display this, we have the same problem with using RealPlayer.
The same stream works fine with a VLC media player but I believe it's using a different protocol to talk to the server.
We've worked with the RealMedia support people now for more than a month and they have no clue what's happening.
rtsp://vm.gaslightmedia.com/rtpencoder/petoskey_pointe.sdp
Does this sound at all similar to your problems? The only difference from what you describe is that it always stops at 65 seconds for any QuickTime player on any system. We have no trouble with any other types of streams and other QuickTime streams run fine.

Using QuickTime Broadcaster with QuickTime Player

I have one computer streaming video/audio using QuickTime Broadcaster. How are you supposed to view the stream with QuickTime Player on another computer? None of the QuickTime docs says how you view a stream. I tried entering the IP address of my broadcast computer into the Open URL field, but nothing happens. I have the latest SW on everything.

Thanks. This helped, although it still didn't work. I found the solution in the help file although I still had to experiment. The description below is one way for it to work, although there are probably other ways.
To get it to work from one computer to another, you have to export from the QTB an sdp file. This file gets stored on the viewing computer. On the QTB computer, on the Network tab, the IP address needs to be the viewing computer's IP. Once broadcasting, the QT Player on the viewing computer opens the sdp file. It should then work. If anything on QTB get changed (MPEG-4, etc), you need to export another sdp file.

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.

No Sound with QuickTime 7.0.4 video streams on Intel

I just ran the latest QuickTime software update (7.0.4 Pro) and now I get no sound when viewing streaming video. This only happens on my MacBook Pro. None of the PowerPC-based Macs that I've tried experience this issue. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this? Is there a way I can go back to 7.0.3?
Since updating to QuickTime 7.0.4, Real Player 10.0.0 has also lost its sound with streaming videos. I've also tried VLC (0.8.4 & the latest Intel build) but it isn't working properly on the MacBook yet.
Again, the video works fine, just no sound & this only effects streaming video.

Well then its not a component apparently... have you tried playing the stream with something other than QuickTime, such as MPlayer OSX?

How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
Thanx

I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera... is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...
thanx

Thank you

Assuming you purchased QT Pro, you can always download it again at no extra charge by logging in to your Apple account.
Regarding FCE, there is no way to download & install the product. You need an original FCE install disk and your FCE serial number.
Final Cut Pro X (aka FCPX) can be purchased & downloaded from the App Store.

I have two different iCloud accounts. I can't sign into photo stream with my personal account and have tried deleting from my iPhone first, then the MacBook Pro. Still won't let me sign in with the personal account. Please help.

I have two different iCloud accounts - business and personal. I can't sign into Photo Stream with my personal account because it says my business account is my primary account. They are separate but equal accounts. I have tried deleting the iCloud account from my iPhone, then my MacBook Pro and signing in again on both devices. The iPhone says that my primary account ismy personal account (which is good) but my MacBook Pro still will not sign into that account so I can use Photo Stream.
Any suggestions? This iCloud stuff is getting annoying.

you have a ps cs4 license for mac and you have some way of finding your serial number.
if yes, download an install the installation file. if you already have the installation file, what is its name and file extension? (eg, if it's one file, it should be a dmg file.)
if you need the installation file,
