On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

Playing AVI File In Quicktime

Ok, here is my problem. I used to have Windows XP on my computer with Quicktime installed. I also had the DivX Suite (including the DivX codec) installed. I had no trouble playing *.avi files in Quicktime. However, now I have upgraded to Vista, I have done the same thing, installed Quicktime as well as the DivX Suite, but every time that I attempt to play *.avi files in Quicktime (I have tried several different files) I continue to get the error message that "Additional software is required for Quicktime to play back this media. It may be available from the Quicktime Components page." and it shows me that I need to download DivX. I have tried uninstalling DivX and downloading a fresh copy and installing. Same thing with Quicktime, but no luck. I have also tried installing the Xvid applications and still nothing. Does anyone have a guess at what it could be and is there something else that I need to do?

I have a question for you instead of any help. I have XP with Quicktime installed. Both DivX and Xvid are installed and I can't get it to play .avi files with Quicktime. All it does is plays about a half second of audio then nothing. It used to pop up the additional software message, not sure if that is still the case. Media Player plays them no problem, but I personally can't stand WMP or any other Microsoft product for that matter. Is there some hidden setting that I need to adjust to make it work? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks.

HT3775 why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

Is there any way to play all files in a directory by one url?

Hi all,
I am testing fms this days, I have put all my files(such as 1.mp3,2.mp3...n.mp3) in my directory.
I can play single file fine with url like this:
rtmp://localhost/mp3/mp3:x/2
but i want to know is there any way to play all files in my direcotry?
for example, user click the play button, the player(smp) automatic plays all files in the directory, link windows media server.
Should I use playlist? Or there is another better way?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
FMS do not directly take a directory to play files, the file names have to be fetched some way (through script if needed) to make a playlist and then the play command needs to be repeated as many times.
Thank you !

HT3775 can't play wmv file on quicktime?

I can't play .wmv files on quicktime. I installed both QuickTime MPEG2 and Flip4Mac WMV hoping that this would solve the problem but it did not. When trying to play any audio .wmv file I get an error box stating "the document (filename).wmv could not be opened. The movie is not in a format the QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file". Anyone know what I might need here?

Hmm, Perian should provide flv playback in Quicktime. Maybe you need to update Perian? I used to always use Perian but since upgrading to Lion I have not installed it and now rely on VLC for non-apple standard media playback. Deluxe can handle the flv-format.It will convert flv to mov. Hope it helps

Playing wmv files in Quicktime Pro

I really want to play wmv files in quicktime. I read that quicktime pro should be able to do so. I have quicktime pro but nether Quicktime Player X or Quicktime 7 Pro can open it, and I know the file isn't corrupted cause it plays on a windows computer. Please help

You need to install Flip4Mac to play unprotected WMV files. WMV content which contains DRM can't be played in Mac OS X.

Play WMV Files in Quicktime

Hi,
I run Win XP & Surfari. I am trying to get away from running Media Player. I wish to play WMV files in Quicktime players. I do not wish to use a 3rd party player I just want to be able to open the WMV & it runs in Quicktime. I do not not want to go through the hassle of using another program to convert the file I just want to be able to run it in Quicktime. Is this now possible? I have read other posts in the Forum and nobody has answered this question directly they just say convert..... & that is a stupid answer & not satisfactory
Many thanks in advance
PS

Again, QuickTime for windows can't play .wmv or.wma, in this link look to the column on the right, Supported File Formats.

Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

I'm trying to play MIDI files in Quicktime. It works buy the volume is very low, even with both Quicktime and computer volume on max. What can I do?

I'm trying to play MIDI files in Quicktime. It works buy the volume is very low, even with both Quicktime and computer volume on max. What can I do?

I'm having the same issue. After opening Audio Midi Setup in Utilities I noticed that the master volume slider of the Built-In Output is very low. I am not able to slide to get any more level out of the system.
Can you adjust the master volume on your system?

Can't play .wmv files in Quicktime 7?

I used to be able to play a library of .wmv files in Quicktime with no problems but all the sudden, I received an error message saying, "can't play this movie". They are only short 1-2 minute clips.
I successfully downloaded the most recent version of Quicktime from Apple's site but that didn't help.
Can you help? Thanks, Samattjack

QuickTime has never even opened Windows Media Player formats without third party software help:
http://flip4mac.com is that software and any issues can only be resolved by them, not Apple.
Not a Quicktime software issue.

Problems playing .mov files in QuickTime 7.2.0

Hey everyone!
I have a problem with my QuickTimePlayer.exe application. It will play all other movies just fine, except for .mov files. It will open them and play .mov files, the sound will be fine, but the video is extremely choppy.
I FINALLY got to play .mov files by uninstalling QuickTime 7.2.0 and installing the Vista Codec Package 4.4.8, which contains QuickTime Alternative. The only problem is that it doesn't come with QuickTimePlayer.exe, which is what I want my .mov files to open with.
After hours of installing, uninstalling, and re-installing codecs, I discovered that it wasn't a codec problem at all. It was the QuickTimePlayer.exe application that was the issue.
But what's weird is that the exact same version of QuickTime on another computer will run .mov files *WITH QUICKTIMEPLAYER.EXE!!* So there's something going on with some settings in my computer.
I can't seem to figure this out. Does anyone else know what the problem could be? Thanks in advance!
Brent

I've discovered the problem!! It was the latest release of the NVIDIA nForce drivers that were the issue.
For as to WHY this specifically affected the playback of .mov files, I can imagine how. It's weird how the one thing you least expect to be the problem actually IS the problem.
Anybody have any idea how it affects it?

How to play .VOB files with QuickTime?

I get an "Error opening file" message trying to play a VTS014.VOB file. This is a file of home movies scanned to the above file. I use Pro (QuickTime™ Version 7.1.6, Player Version 7.1.6) with the mpeg-2 addition and went through the process identifying QuickTime as the default player in "Get Info".
I can watch with iDVD and something else called VLC Media Player. I want to be able to pull off segments for other applications like making an DVD with just parts of the full file.
Thanks for your help.

The mpeg2playbackcomponent will not play mpeg2 files that are in transport stream format, as the VTS in the file name you cite suggests. There is, however, a freeware that can use the playback component and read transport streams. It also will do some simple editing of vob files and save them without re-encoding, or export them to non-mpeg form such as DVStream for use in apps like iMovie.

Spotify won't play local files in newer version (w/o ffmpeg-spotify)

Hi,
I have recently updated Spotify from AUR to version 0.9.4.183-1 (updated 2013-10-10) and I'm not able to play local files anymore (I was before). Package maintainer says that the major changes in the last version is that ffmpeg-spotify is not needed anymore to play local files (and so it has been marked as outdated), so I guess it has something to do with this fact. Actually, having or not having installed ffmpeg-spotify does not make any difference.
Just for the record, I am using PulseAudio, and when I try to play a local file, I can see in the log the following message:
19:03:25.415 I [audio_driver_linux.cpp:18 ] Using PulseAudio
Yep, that's all.
Is this happening to anyone else? Does anybody knows how is Spotify supposed to play local files without ffmpeg?
Thanks a lot.

Well, funny enough, I've found the solution the minute after I posted the question. To play local files, the necessary package is ffmpeg-compat (in official repo). So I guess this should be added as a dependency of the spotify AUR package?
Hope this helps someone.

Play AVI File On Quicktime

I have a new macbook pro (new to apple former pc quy) and i want to play an AVI file in quicktime but it cant read it. When i play it on my PC it plays fine in Real Player so i downlaoded Real Player for mac and it still wont work????
ANy help will do
thanks
Brad

I just solved this issue on my machine. Something in the Perian bundle also conflicts with Intel core MacBooks. I finally resolved the issue and avoided the white screen by removing ALL 3rd party QT plugins (including Perian) and restarted. I was then able to view the AVI files and avoid the white screen. When I added back Perian, I could again not see the files. So, the solve is remove ALL QT 3rd party plugins. I suppose you can add Perian back after you have used the files you require, but be aware there is still an Intel conflict within Perian for certain AVI files.
