Play Quicktime file on extended mode with 2 monitors using fullscreen

I have content that plays in QuickTime that was designed to run on 2 displays using extended mode. Whenever I full screen it defaults to only using one of the displays.

Here, this might help you. I was having problems copying to my Lacie external hard drive, too. I contacted Lacie and this was the response I received - which I followed and have now been able to move all my imovie, idvd, quicktime, etc. files to the Lacie:
The default formatting on these drives is FAT32, compatible with both Mac and PC. However, FAT32 has some limitations-it will not hold any single file larger than 4GB and it does not like filenames with any other characters other than A-Z, a-z, 0-9, periods and underscores. Mac
OS 10.1.x and 10.2.x will not mount large FAT32 volumes.
The Mac Extended format does not have any of these limitations as it is the Mac-native format. If you will not be sharing this drive with a PC at all, reinitialize the drive as follows. You will need to copy off
any data you need temporarily as this will erase the drive.
OS X - Initializing with Disk Utility (will erase the drive)
1. Open the Disk Utility found the Utilities folder.
2. On the left, select the drive (not the volume below it).
3. On the right, select the Partition tab.
4. Under Volume Scheme, set it to the number of partitions desired(usually Mac OS Extended).
5. Set the format you desire.
6. It is not necessary to check the OS 9 Drivers check box.
7. Once you have the drive set up how you desire, click on the Partition button in the lower right.
8. It should only take a few moments to complete, and when done, the drive will mount on the desktop.

HT4072 can't play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) with 5.1 audio tracks

I have two Macs, one with a mini-optical out and no audio through its mini-displayport, and the other that supports digital audio out through its mini-displayport. On either of my Macs, how can I play video files (mp4, avi, mkv) in 5.1 using Quicktime or iTunes or VLC? I've heard I need Perian. Is this true? If so, how do I configure it on either machine?
Note that when I connect the computer that supports audio through the mini-displayport to my receiver, my home theater receiver detects a PCM audio connection, but the audio I get out of my speakers is still stereo.
Both computers are running Snow Leopard. I haven't had the need to upgrade to Lion yet, but if the answer is that I need Lion do do this, I'd spend the $29.
Thanks for the help!

This just happened for the first time with an .mkv file I was trying to play. It started fine but then after selecting a menu option in smplayer the video disappeared. It didn't go black, the player just stopped presenting the video. In other words the player switched to audio playback mode only, the window was unable to go into fullscreen or be resized. Smplayer still works with other HD files. Deleting the config directory fixes the problem until I select a menu option, such as, setting the audio to 5.1, then the video portion disappears again.
Does anyone know what is going on here or have any ideas on how to fix this issue?
Thanks for any help provided.
that's because now mplayer they switch to libavformat demuxer for mkv and ogg and i think is a bug in smplayer because is making some configuration for files in file_settings in which is sets demuxer & co. this switch is confusing smplayer and it should be reported upstream
p.s if you actually select demuxer from smplayer to mkv it would work perfectly

When playing QuickTime file, I get sound but no picture

Someone provided me with some Quicktime files. Regardless of what program I use to play them, (iMovie 6, QuickTime Player, MPEG Streamclip) I get the sound but there is no picture. I'm thinking that maybe there is a codec that I don't have. I really need to get these files to work with iMovie 6. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the suggestion, Kirk. They sent me a sample 10-second file in H.264 and it works. I think the picture quality is diminished--not too bad, though. Which codec would have the best quality and still work in iMovie6? Keep in mind I will be editing the video and then exporting it to iDVD. Thanks.

[Non IE Regression] Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors

This seems to be a regression with Flash Player v11.2.202.x (for all other browsers).
With Internet Explorer it is still working.

== Support for full screen mode with multiple monitors ==
Full screen content will remain in full-screen on secondary monitors, allowing users to watch full-screen content while working on another display.
Tested on Windows 7 x64 SP1 with:
- Internet Explorer 9
- Firefox Release, Beta, Aurora, Nightly
- Opera 12 build 1116
In bugbase.adobe.com I cannot choose v11.2.x

Safari 6.0.1 will not play QuickTime Files

I am having problems with Safari 6.0.1 playing back QuickTime Files. I reset safari and cookies and it will still not play QuickTime movies. To the best of my knowledge, QuickTime is working with all other components of the computer.
Is there a way to redownload Safari or repair it...
I could not find a place on Apple's webpage to redownload it.
I am using Mac OS 10.7.5 on a MacPro (2008).
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
-M

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extension tab.
If there are any installed, turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari.
There are several extensions such as DivX that can prevent QT content from streaming.

Playing quicktime files from 1998

I have a CD with some Quicktime files on that appear to have been created in 1998. Quicktime tries to play them but I can only get sound and no picture. Any suggestions about how I can play them fully?
I'm using Quicktime 7.4.1.

Playing QuickTime file burned to DVD Slow

Hello,
I have burned a 3gig quicktime file to DVD. When I play it from the DVD, it is stuttering,stops plays, stops. It is basically useless when played from the DVD play. This is on my iMac. When played from directly on my iMac it is fine.
How do i resolve this?
thanks

Hi, Xotol. The problem is not that the drive won't burn comments to DVDs; it's that you need to use a format for the DVDs that preserves all the Mac file metadata, including those comments. I'm not conversant with all the different DVD formats (I've only ever burned plain data DVDs), but someone who is (or the Toast manual) should be able to tell you whether there's a format you can select that preserves all Mac file metadata. A key factor probably is whether the discs you burn will be usedc only on Macs, or whether they need to be Windoze-compatible and/or play on standard DVD player devices. If either of the latter is true, the Comments field may just not be the right place to put your copyright notice. There's no place in a PC's file system for Mac metadata, and I have no idea whether a standard DVD player can read Mac Comments at all.

Can I play MIDI files on a Disklavier with iTunes?

I have the Yamaha USB-MIDI driver installed on my PowerMac G4 which I have been using to play piano MIDI files on my Yamaha Disklavier using the shareare program QMidi.
Is it possible to play these MIDI files through the MIDI-USB connection to my Disklavier using iTunes?
Right now iTunes appears to play these files with the Quicktime music synthesizer and the synthesized piano plays through the speakers. If this is the case, can the Quicktime plug-in be configured to pass the MIDI data to the Yamaha MIDI-USB driver rather than using the synthesizer?

Extended mode with MacbookPro using Dual Screen Wallpaper

Hello, guy's,
I already have a Macbook Pro 13" connected on ACD24".

That i want to ask you is the seguent..
Can i use one dual wallpaper?
I mean that i want

-- For others who stumble upon this like I did --
**In the code, for more than two monitors, switch statements might be cleaner
If you don't want to install another application, you can apparently with beautiful/gears:
-- {{{ Wallpaper
if beautiful.wallpaper then
for s = 1, screen.count() do
--gears.wallpaper.maximized(beautiful.wallpaper, s, true)
if s < 2 then
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_one", s, true)
else
gears.wallpaper.maximized("path_to_image_two", s, true)

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.

Airtunes won't play Quicktime files from iTunes?

Last night I made a playlist that had MP3's, Quicktime files, AIFF files, and AAC files. I then set iTunes to play on Multiple speakers, so it would play on my computer speakers and my stero via Airtunes. All of the songs played fine through my computer speakers but the Airtunes refused to play the QT files. When a QT song came on, the stereo went silent, it would then play again when a non QT file came on. Anybody else have this problem?

Some information on Quicktime player. The last two links are you other applications you can download to see if they can play the movie:

Cant play Quicktime files in IE7/Firefox After upgrading to Quicktime 7.5.5

After upgrading to 7.5.5 I cannot view quicktime files on the apple site using internet explorer 7 or firefox 3.01.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled/rebooted etc but no change.
Any clues? am I all alone here?
Message was edited by: timsmyname

Anyone with answers please reply because I am suffering from the same problems after reformatting and reloading OEM software and upgrading to current. I thought she had gotten infected from chain emails because of repeated blue screen shutdowns only to find that Quicktime 7 is causing the conflicts.

Playing Quicktime files.

If we're able to watch trailers on the Apple website (H.264), does this mean that if I post such a file on my own website I will be able to play it from my iPhone.
What about in an email?

Safari can play Quicktime videos and MP3's via quicktime from Safari. So yes you can post to your site. Nothing special really needed (except proper encoding as you know).

Windows Media Player cannot play the file after ame encode with out audio?

strange behavior using media encoder today
ive selected no audio when encoding an h264 for the android...every time (5x) I tried to encode I got "Windows Media Player cannot play the file" when I selected audio the error went away..
the other issue I had was the work area only , my encodes were including the whole sequence an not the "work area only" when selected?
buggy day ..love to edit ..

The export without audio is an .m4v file, which many plays have trouble with. For now, use the audio, which creates a playable .mp4 file.

Unable to send file in binary mode to ftp server using AIR application

Hi, Can any one help me. i am trying to send local files to ftp server in binary mode from AIR application using sockets.
I cant use PASV mode for this FTP server because security restrictions. when i am trying to send Binary command i am always getting
error code 500 which is unrecognized command. I googled for solutions but i cant find any one using Binary mode to send data every example is using PASV mode to send
file.
code example:
private function upload():void{
sendCommand("binary ");
private function sendCommand(arg:String):void {
                                        arg +="\n";
                                        s.writeUTFBytes(arg);
                                        s.flush();
in response i am getting unrecognized command.

I'm successfully using an ftp example from http://http://projects.maliboo.pl/FlexFTP/
that I converted to spark and uses a popup progress window.
If you don't need to use sockets I can post a sample project.
I believe I still connect with PASV, but have no problems sending Binary files.
I don't think they're commands that are dependent on each other
