Playing my .mov on my TV via flashdrive

Tried exporting my .mov (iMovie project) to flash drive, plugged it into my Samsung - "file format not supported." Converted to avi (using Quiktime 7), same error message.
Any ideas?

Hello Mike did you try save 2 Apple TV in Quicktime. I am not sure if you need the pro version since I have it and its worth every penny. Herb

  • Can I play HD movies from TC disk via WD-HD player

    I want to use my TC as extend disk for my iMac. Also TC want to use as my HD movies storage soo I want to play movies from it via WD-HD player. WD-HD player and TC connected via Ethernet port only

    You can play movies fine as the TC is merely being used as storage and if you use ethernet is more than fast enough.
    Mixing usage with TM on a Mac can get messy though... and remember there is no way to backup stuff on the TC easily so make sure you keep original copies somewhere.

  • How to play home movies on TV via Iphone and NAS Drive?

    I have a problem playing transferred home movies on a flat screen tv through the “TV Out” feature of my Iphone 4.
    Brief History:
    I have captured about a TB worth of various home movie videos from VHS tape to my PC hard drive in AVI format using AVS Video Recorder. I used AVS Video Converter to convert the AVI movie files to M4V files, to play these movies on my IPhone. I then copied these M4V video files to a Western Digital “My Book Live” NAS Drive which allows me to view any video using my Iphone, via a WD app, without using Iphone internal memory. This works so far.
    The problem is that I thought I could show these videos to family members through their big screen TV at their house, and by hooking my Iphone to their tv’s audio/video inputs, via cables, using TV Out and access the videos from my NAS Drive as I could when using the Iphone alone. However, the home movies do not play on the TV! After a conversation with Apple Techs I was told that using the Iphone’s “TV Out” feature to view video onto a TV, via the Iphone , only works for video that is stored on the internal memory of the Iphone itself, not for accessing 3rd party drives as my NAS.
    I was told that there are ways around this like:
    -    Syncing certain videos to the Iphone (to save storage space) and viewing them on TV via “TV OUT”
    -    Getting an IPad (bigger screen then Iphone) and accessing the videos through the Apple Cloud
    -    Using Apple TV and accessing movies via the cloud (which means I would have to bring and hook-up Apple TV to the receiving TV). Not sure about this method.
    -    Something about Airplay and mirrioring???
    So my question is: Is there any way to access my NAS drive (which has all videos stored) and play those videos on another household’s TV, for many people to comfortably view at once, via my Iphone? Or, is there another method?
    Any advice would be appreciated.

    I have a playlist called shows that has a few TV shows, movies, and podcasts. I also have the latest versions of iTunies and Apple TV. The playlist doesn't show up anywhere on the Apple TV.
    Where should it be?
    the playlist option will show next to where "genre" is only if the playlist contains the appropriate content for the section that you are in.
    for example i have a playlist that contains all episodes of a season of King Of Queens. the playlist shows in the "my tv shows" section, but does not in "my movies", as the playlist only contains tv shows.
    might be an idea not to mix content in playlists, as you won't be able to play mixed content from a playlist anyway.

  • White Screen When Trying to Play Movies / TV Shows Downloaded via AppleTV

    Very frustrating, consistent issue with downloading movies or TV shows via AppleTV. Almost always results in a blank white screen with no sound and no video playing. No matter how many times I stop the video from playing, exit back out to the main menu, and restart the show, the white screen persists. The only thing that seems to fix it is to manually unplug the AppleTV, wait for 10+ sec, and then replug it in. Once AppleTV restarts, then I am able to watch the specific show I had been trying to watch. HOWEVER, the problem resurfaces as soon as I move onto the next movie or TV show.
    Any suggestions on how to end this uber-annoying cycle?? I have all of the latest software downloaded. I have disconnected my iTunes library from AppleTV and then re-paired / re-synced the two (iTunes and AppleTV), and I have even tried resetting my AppleTV to factory settings (although given the volume of content I like to keep on my AppleTV, this leads to incredibly long timeframes to re-sync my AppleTV with my iTunes library). Any thoughts / suggestions / miracles would be hugely appreciated. THANKS!!!

    Hi
    Can't help you I am afraid, but I can tell you that you are not alone. Keep having exactly the same problem. Rented a Movie this evening and had to pull the plug half way through the download to be able to start and watch it.
    I do have the Apple TV connected through a HDMI switch and wondered if it may be copy protection HDCP or something so was going to try it on component when I find my set of cables.
    Will let you know the outcome

  • Can apple tv be used to play purchased movies without broadband via airplay

    can apple tv be used to play purchased movies from a ipad without broadband via airplay

    The only times I've tried - on holiday/vacation with no broadband - this has failed because Airplay of protected content requires a brief authorisation connection to Apple's servers.
    Conversely an ipad hooked up to a TV using the HDMI adapter works without internet for media stored on it as does a Mac computer running iTunes eg MacMini with HDMI out.

  • Cannot play purchased movies or music videos on ATV3 via AirPlay

    Music, photos, and mirroring work fine.  When I try to play purchased movies and music videos from iTunes, I get "Operation could not be completed -3".  Everything is updated to the latest iOS.  The router is a Belkin N450DB wireless on factory settings.  This location also does not have internet, just the home wi-fi network.  I have even plugged the ATV into the router via ethernet and still no video.  I have tried and gotten the same results with iPhone 4s, iPad 3, PC laptop with iTunes with same Apple ID as ATV. 
    If it makes a difference, I setup, updated, and added my Apple ID to the ATV from a different location with internet, but moved it after I thought it had been set up.  Thanks in advance for any tips, I am clueless!!

  • TS3623 Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.

    Apple TV will not play rented movies. Says it is being played on another device, which it is not. Downloaded movie via iTunes on my iMac.
    I've tried restoring the TV, updating my iTunes - nothing is working. It is definitely not playing on my computer.

    Sign in to your iTunes account settings on the computer (click on the AppleID top right if you're actually signed in).
    In your purchase list find the purchase and use the 'Report a problem' link to tell the store.
    Assume you've not moved the rental to another device where it resides but is not being played.

  • Playing movies off the Internet via Apple TV?

    Is it possible to play a movie or a programme off the Internet via Apple TV?
    I've managed to get the audio playing through Apple TV but the video is only showing on my iPad.
    Thank you.

    There is a specific tag in the website's HTML markup that specifies whether or not a movie is Airplay enabled or not - if it's disabled, only audio transfers even if the video is in a compatible h264 format.  That tag needs to be set by the website owner.

  • Why can't I play purchased movies on my Apple TV? And why does iTunes match not work on my Apple TV?

    I have an Apple TV (early 2012) and bought some movies in the iTunes store. Now, Apple TV doesn't let me watch my purchased content. I very well can listen to music I have bought in the iTunes store and watch the purchased movies on my iphone 6 (running the latest iOS 8) and on my MacBook Air (running the latest version of Yosemite). I can also rent movies on Apple TV and watch them - no problem at all.
    The other problem I have is that I activated iTunes Match on my Apple TV. But it doesn't work either. On my Mac and on my iphone - there's no problem. On Apple TV instead there is always appearing the message, that it will take a couple of minutes to setup iTunes Match  on Apple TV. Well... that is too nice to be true! It takes hours and even after that it doesn't work at all.
    I checked the forums and tried different things:
    1. Updating my Apple TV's software to the latest release
    2. Restoring all settings of my Apple TV and taking it offline (meaning: logging out of iTunes on Apple TV and taking it off power)
    3. Restarting my modem and router after half a minute break and taking it off power.
    4. Setting up Apple TV again and reconnecting it with iTunes and my WLAN-router.
    5. I also wanted to Airplay the screen of my MAC or iphone to Apple TV -> doesn't work (even though I can watch the movies on this two devices without any problems). Other content can be airplayed to Apple TV without any problems as well.
    -> Nothing seems to work!
    When I tried to play the moves the following to messages appear:
    1. iTunes is currently unavailable. Try again later. (But Apple TV recognizes how much of the movie has been watched already. It indicates that it is connecting and authorizing... and after that the message above appears). OR
    2. Apple TV says that the movie will be ready to be watched in two hours from now... or that you have to chose a lower resolution, if you want to watch it any sooner.
    Does anyone face the same difficulties? And of course: Does anyone know any cure and salvation for my Apple TV? ;-)
    Thanks so much for your assistance!

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.

    I can't play a DVD from my superdrive via my macbook pro to apple TV via airplay.  The movie plays fine on the macbook if I'm not trying to airplay.  The airplay works fine if I'm not trying to play a movie from the superdrive.  I think my apple TV is Gen 2.

    If you get a checkerboard pattern it's because Apple block Airplay Mirroring of protected media.
    VLC Player may work.

  • How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player?  (Progress bar button broken?)

    It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked.  A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window.  The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button.  The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
    Is it my progress bar that's broken?  I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5.  Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
    Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
    [Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work.  Any ideas what happened?  My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

    I think I solved the problem.....In Itunes, I had my iphone set up to update VIA wireless...Itunes scans and constantly searches..which was causing the video to freeze up...when I disabled or disconnected the iphone, I no longer have issues.
    If anyone else is....Disable any devices (ipads, Iphones, ipods)  that might be connected to itunes using the wireless method.

  • Burning .mov file to dvd via IDVD

    I created a slide show to music on IMovie. Playing the .mov file through my computer and even projected on a big screen it looks great.  But when converting it to a DVD via IDVD, the font on the couple of lines of text that I have coming up with the pictures is pixilated and really horrible.  I tried a couple of different burns and always choose best quality but the results remain the same.  The dvd created through IDVD is horrible with really badly pixilated edges on the fonts.  How can I burn DVD's so that they look as good as they do playing directly from my .mov file so that I can burn copies for others who have requested my music slide show?  I am working with a brand new MacBook Pro computer and the IMovie and IDVD programs that came with it, if that helps at all.

    Hi,
    The info helps explain what's happening -- the 1080p version is widescreen (16:9 aspect ratio) and physically large (1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels tall), and much more compressed than the DVCPRO50 version (the 1080p file is less than half the size even though it's more than twice the screen space).  So, iDVD would have a difficult time crushing that down into the standard DVD video dimensions.
    The DVCPRO50 version is also widescreen, so you want to be sure your iDVD preference is set to 16:9 aspect ratio (if not, start a new project and re-import). 
    iDVD also has to crush this version to make it fit the standard 720x480 format, but not as much as the 1080p version.  Text can particularly suffer when video dimensions are altered.
    Is your iMovie version gone or just won't open?
    I'd be inclined to experiment with a copy of the DVCPRO50 version.  Try the free MPEG Streamclip to see if it can resize the video to 720x480 before bringing it into a 16:9 iDVD project.  Next try using Streamclip to convert the format to DV (DV Stream or .dv) to see if that format change makes iDVD happier.
