Playing Movies in QucikTime Pro

I am trying to play a movie in quicktime pro and I am can not seem to get it to work, also how do I get a movie onto the new Ipod Nano.

Sorry, again.
QuickTime can't even open an encrypted DVD and the rules of these Discussions pages prevent even talking about circumventing CSS encryption.

  • Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?

    Since Yosemity and new iTunes i cannot play movies on macbook pro (missing HDCP ability)? Why is that?
    regards Peter

    Yesterday I had Apple phone support, they could partly solve the problem. At least I can use my Mac again to view movies but the problem of less resolution in itunes only is still there. My brother has the same macbook, same yosemity and same itunes. It works. Obviously it has to do with other SW on the Mac. Yesterday we removed Displaylink SW (i believe that was the name of the SW?) from my Mac. Perhaps it is not yet compatible with yosemity?

  • Recording 16 tracks and play movie on Macbook pro

    Hi
    Has anyone experience with recording 16 tracks 24 bits and play in the same time a movie on a new Macbook pro 2,16 on a secondary screen ?
    On my G5 it's no problem.
    Thanks

    Hmm... I do recall there was some kind of external USB2 video input device. I think it was from ATI though i may be mistaken. One of there All-In-Wonder devices.
    Regardless, such devices do exist, though they are likely only composite, S-Video, or F-Connecter based, and will likely have some form of latency issues.
    You may want to look around to see if there any form of ExpressCard capture devices. The ExpressCard slot is is capable up fill PCI Express speeds around 2.5Giga bits per second, so I suppose it does have sufficient bandwidth to capture say Component or HDMI video. Though I'm not sure if such a device even exists.

  • Best way to play movies from MacBook Pro to HDTV

    I have some hi-res 1080p movies on my MacBook Pro which currently runs Lion 10.7.4.  Planning on upgrading to Mountain Lion but my hardware will not support Airplay Mirorring (it's a mid 2009).  I will soon be buying an iPad 3rd generation also which of course does do Airplay to an HDTV.  Somehow can I get the material off the MacBook Pro directly to the HDTV though maybe the new iPad or even an Apple TV?  I will be running the audio through an external stereo receiver/speakers, so just concerned with the video.  Also had read that my model of MacBook Pro only supports video from the minidisplay port to HDMI.
    Best solutions?  I may get an Apple Tv if necessary or anything within reasonable cost including any programs for the Mac or iPad.
    Oh NOTE:  My movies are just avi or mkv files and NOT in iTunes.

    I believe you can do Back up to Disc and burn them as Data Discs. (Be sure to check your burning preferences first.) You won't be able to view them from the burned discs, but you can use them to restore to your library. Burning the movie itself....I doubt you can get it to fit on one CD. Another option would be to invest in an external drive. I hear they're pretty affordable.

  • MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files.

    Since "upgrading" to Lion my MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files, all I get is a black screen and the audio.  It's so frustrating!!    
    I've read many other posts all along the same lines and wherever possible I've tried to follow the advice which has been given but nothing works.    I've updated all the drivers I can and I've even reinstalled Lion, nothing makes a difference.   
    I'm not really looking for any more advice, all I want is someone from Apple to read these posts, realise there is problem and get working on a fix or update.   
    I had no problems when running Snow Leopard and it would seem, looking at everyone else's problems, that the common issue is Lion.   Seriously, this is one area where Lion is a backwards step.   It should just work (like most things from Apple), but it doesn't.
    Personally I believe there is a problem with Lion but from what I've found out from speaking to friends with other Apple kit, this might be a random issue only affecting some people as some have said they've had no problems while others have had the same issues as me.    One guy reinstalled Lion and it resolved the issue for him, I've not been as lucky.  
    As I say, I'm not really looking for more advice, simply some sort of update from Apple to fix it.   PLEASE!!!

    This is a peer-to-peer user forum. Perhaps you would see more action if you and others would file a formal "Bug" report with Apple QuickTime technical people rather than repeatedly reporting a possible problematic problem which may or may not affect others on a random basis. QUICKTIME PRODUCT FEEDBACK
    Since you aren't seeking further advice here is what I have observed. Not being a regular WMV file user, I had to create my own sample file to test—a WMV 9 file containing WMV3 compressed video and WMA2 compressed audio. Since I normally use QT 7 as my primary media player, I also stored the WMV data in its partially decompressed form in an MOV file container to avoid pre-playback delays in "classic" player routines and also provide a secondary playback test of MOV wrapped content. These files play as follows using the Flip4Mac component/player support and uncoded URL uploads:
    QT 7.6.6 "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    QT 7.6.6 "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    QT X.1 "Open File" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file plays video without audio.
    QT X.1 "Open Location" - WMV file appears to open but plays with "black" screen and no audio. MOV file plays video without audio.
    VLC "Open File" - WMV plays correctly. MOV file doesn't open,
    VLC "Open URL" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file appears to open but nothing plays.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    GarageBand - WMV file will not import but MOV file does.
    iTunes - WMV file will not import. MOV file container is accepted but as soon as iTuness sees the compression formats, it aborts import.
    Safari - WMV file URL auto-downloads and playes in the QT X.1 Player. The MOV file URL opens and plays in Safari.
    As you can see from these results the files do play but are subject to many different constrints based on old/new video technology support, independent QT subsets and/or container trapping constraints. In short, individual user results will depend on presence/absence of component support, actual compression formats, file container, application being used, and how the application is being used. Unfortunately, most users here can't or won't provide the prerequisite information or a sample file for independent examination. This makes it next to impossible to give advice in these matters or categorize the specific nature of the problem.

  • Hi! I got movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? need some help please!!

    Hi! I got Movies on my external hard drive that are AVI kind and won't play on my macbook pro? When I start playing the movie a message pops up and says "a required codec is not available". I tried flip4mac, xvid, divx already and still not playing my video. need some help please!! thanks.

    Although vlc mentioned above is a much more powerful and better player you could try installing Perian if you insist on using the quicktime player.  It may supply the codec it needs.
    Not sure why you wouldn't be able to play straight avi files though in quicktime.

  • My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther. Why?

    My 3 year old MacBook Pro, with OS 10.7.1, won't play movie DVDs I burned on Panther.
    Why?

    But to answer your question, you might be able to create a ISO of the DVD and burn that to a new DVD.
    Insert your DVD.
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app.
    In the left side of the window, select the “DVD”.
    Click “New Image” from the Disk Utility toolbar and select where you want to save the temporary image. For “Image Format”, choose “DVD/CD master” and for “Encryption”, choose “none”.
    The image extension in the “Save As” box will be .cdr (this is what you want) — click “Save”.
    Once the temporary image is created, it will show up on the left side of the Disk Utility window. Select it.
    Insert a blank DVD (I prefer Verbatim discs).
    Click “Burn” from the Disk Utility toolbar.
    Another problem could be that you burned the DVD using a codec that your new machine doesn't have.
    Install Perian, VLC and Flip4Mac, that combination will play anything.
    Also install Flash for web content and Silverlight for Netflix.

  • HT1338 movies played on a macbook pro stall for split seconds in quicktime and vlc. Anybody else?

    movies played on a macbook pro stall for split seconds in quicktime and vlc. Anybody else?

    Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer. I have the same issue, and it is a bug. Sometimes a restart solves it. Sometimes and if you use subtitles, you will see the first line being displayed but the second one not, etc.
    I have reported that to Apple and there is hope for a fix.

  • Have you problems with sound card when playing Netflix movies on MacBook Pro ?

    We have been having difficulty playing movies recently and we called Netflix last night. Accrding to their error code, we should re-install sound cards they said. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm not sure what to do to remedy this issue? thank you!!

    I'm so ****** off that it's been weeks and no solution has been provided for this.  In the middle of video editing, watching quicktime videos, youtube, or playing any games the computer hard freezes with a black screen and looping audio of about 1/2 second.
    FIX IT!

  • Problem Playing Video in Premiere Pro CS4

    I am having a problem playing video in premiere pro. When I input any movie clip and try to play it in both the timeline and in the preview mode, the audio works fine but the video only plays a few seconds worth of footage at a really slow pace so that it takes up the entire time. For instance if I load a 3 minute video, the sound is normal but over the coarse of that 3 minutes I will only see a small number of the frames and they are cycled through in ultra slow motion.
    All the clips play normally outside of premiere. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I have premiere installed on my laptop and it works fine. I have tried rendering the video first and it still doesn't work. I have tried holding shift before the program is loading and it did nothing. I have downloaded all the updates too. Videos seem to play fine in After Effects.
    Also, I am having trouble when importing HD video into premiere and after effects. For some reason the programs freeze when I try to import footage from my Creative Vado HD pocket video camera.
    Here are my computer specs
    Windows Vista Ultimate 32 Bit
    Intel Core2 Quad q8200
    ATI Radeon 4670 Graphics Card
    Gigabyte Motherboard
    4GB of 800 Mhz RAM
    This is really frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Keith,
    The file extension .AVI indicate a "wrapper." All sorts of stuff can be in that wrapper *. Some of that stuff will play/edit fine. Much will not and create issues, as you have seen. Your camera uses a CODEC to create those .AVI files. That CODEC is the issue. I recommend G-Spot to find out what the CODEC is. Some times it's just a matter of having the proper CODEC installed on the computer. Most of the time, it takes much more than that - hence Eddie's links on "conversion." At least G-Spot will get us all on the same playing field, and explicit help can follow - probably to study Eddie's links. My guess is that your camera uses some form of DivX CODEC, hence the problem that you see.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
    * Think of .AVI like the foil wrapper on a stick of gum, when you remove the outer lable. You know it's gum, but not what flavor. Could be Juicyfruit, or Spearmint, or Double-mint. G-Spot will tell you the flavor. PrPro likes some flavors, but hates others.

  • My videos and tv shows won't play on my Macbook Pro

    None of my videos or tv shows will play on my Macbook Pro.  They used to work but somewhere within the last month they stopped working.  When i play either one all i get is a still screen shot that is fuzzy, and the audio keeps playing but the screen stays frozen.

    many thanks.

  • ITunes won't play .mov QuickTime files anymore

    My hard drive crashed two weeks ago and it has been replaced and almost all of the information was salvaged--thank god! 
    However, now in iTunes when I go to play a movie that previously played in iTunes, it says that the file requires QuickTime and that it is not supported by this version of iTunes.
    I have over 9,000 movies in my iTunes MOVIES section that are of various formats (none are flv or avi, as I don't think iTunes has ever played those).  I've never had trouble playing mov, mp4, m4v, mpg files before.  Is this likely a problem with my reinstall of iTunes or is it that the latest version of iTunes has limited parameters than prior versions?
    Thanks for any imput.  I'd really like to be able to play all of my movies in iTunes like I could before.
    Chad

    I'm sorry that I have no solution to offer, but I also have noticed that several video files with the .mov extension that used to play just fine will no longer play in either the current QuickTime Player or in the older QT Pro Player 7. I have no idea what changed.
