Playing quicktime files on an HDTV

I created keynote slides on my macbook AIR, exported them to quicktime and recorded them onto a DVD to play as a continual loop; but TVs say they won't support or read the file. Is there anyway around needing a laptop attached to the TV?

Hi,
I've just the same problem; does anybody have a solution?

  • 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.

    What type of QT files?
    Do you have Flip4Mac, VLC and/or Perian installed?

  • 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.

  • 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:
    Video - QuickTime Media Formats
    Video - QuickTime Player
    Video Player - Divx
    Video Player - VLC

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • HELP! Can not play quicktime files and no audio when it does!!!

    i tried opening a .mov file and the message said "you are missing a component that is necessary to open...blah, blah." then it gave me the link to the quicktime site for the 3rd party filters...but which one do i need? there were several and i have no idea. plus, the audio thing is making me mad.
    quicktime was pretty much didn't exist, so i popped in a itunes install disk and re-installed quicktime and that corrected my video problem. but now i'm having all this other stuff. and help will do. thank you.

    "quicktime was pretty much didn't exist, so i popped in a itunes install disk and re-installed quicktime"
    You lost me.
    I have never heard of an "iTunes" install disk. Where did you get this disk from?
    The latest version of QuickTime is v7.1.3. Is this the version you currently have?

  • Playing .AVI files in a regular DVD player

    I have some .AVI files that I would love to be able to watch on my DVD player that is hooked up to my TV. Can I use Quicktime to convert the files to a suitable format? If so, how exactly would I go about doing this?

    The only avi files I have heard about that play on some DVD players are Divx avi files. I am not aware of any player that will play quicktime files as such.
    Many DVD settop boxes will play VCD or SVCD disks (mpeg files burned in a unique format onto CD disks). QT cannot natively create or burn them but there are commercial programs like Toast Titanium that will do so. Check your DVD manual to see if it will play such files. You may be able to use this freeware to convert the avi files to a format such as DVStream that the CD burning sofware can use: Mpeg StreamClip. Alternately you could use Quicktime Pro ($30 from Apple) to make DVStream files for the VCD burner from the avi files. Be aware that all this transcoding may reduce the videoquality to unwatchable levels.

  • Windows Explorer (File Utility) Slows When Selecting a QuickTime File

    Windows Explorer (the file utility, not the browser) slows and sometimes crashes whenever the right pane of Windows Explorer points at a QuickTime file. CPU activity increases substantially, with the process WLXQuickTimeControlHost.exe consuming over half of the CPU.
    I tried uninstalling QuickTime and the problem disappears (but of course now I have no way of playing QuickTime files). I reinstalled the latest version of QuickTime (7.5) and the problem returned. I also have QuickTime Pro.
    Anyone else see this behavior? Any troubleshooting ideas? I have McAfee Virus/Spyware/Firewall protection and the system appears clean.

    The villan was Windows Live Photo Gallery which contains WLXQuickTimeControlHost.exe.
    Removal of Windows Live Photo Gallery solved the problem.

  • Quicktime only play one file at a time

    I would like to use QuickTime player to play mp3s. when I play a file and then open another it opens another instance of Quicktime and both files play at the same time.
    Is there a terminal command to only have one instance of quicktime at a time?

    Is there a terminal command to only have one instance of quicktime at a time?
    Not a big Terminal user, but as far as I know, the answer would be "No!" Nor does the QT Player (QT X) have any preferences that would help here.
    I would like to use QuickTime player to play mp3s. when I play a file and then open another it opens another instance of Quicktime and both files play at the same time.
    With the QT Player (QT X) the specified media player, you have three basic options:
    Create a reference playlist or pseudo-playlist,
    Create a standalone "album" file, or
    Create a an Automator script that will play any group of folders and/or individual files dropped to it.
    For instance, if you have QT 7 install on your system and is is keyed for "Pro" use, then you can use it to create a "reference" (pseudo-playlist) or "standalone" (album" file that will play the content you add in the order you add it to the player. The "reference" file is very small since it only tells the QT Player to play the source files located else where on your system but is not, generally speaking, "transportable" since files are easily "orphaned" by inexperienced users. On the other hand, the "standalone" contains all of the original data stored internally and can be move or shared across systems and media devices having compatible media players. Both types of files are fixed with respect to both the content and its playback order.
    An automator "drop" script works like the playlist or pseudo-playlist file described above but has the advantage of allowing the user to grab and combination of files and/or folders and play them sequentially in the order (I believe) in the order they are selected. Its major disadvantage is that the user must select, drag, and drop the set of files and/or folders each time he or she wishes to play the content whereas playlists, "pseudo-playlists," and "albums" play the same files in the same order each time they are opened.
    Most users prefer an alternative solution—that of using an alternative player. Most use iTunes since it also "manages" the media content. Music albums are, in and of themselves, playlists. However, users can also create smart or manual custom playlists as desired. These playlists are "reference" playlists by nature but can be exported, burned, streamed, or sync'd to mobile devices if desired by the user and thus, to my mind, offers the most available options to the average user.
    Another alternative would be to use a third-party media player having "playlist" capabilities. One popular example would be the VLC media player. Folders, files, albums, etc. can be dropped to the app player window and automatically begin playing in the order dropped. Further, the playlist can be saved as an M3U playlist file that can be recalled by VLC (or iTunes) later if desired. Unfortunately these M3U files are not QT X or QT 7 compatible. (NOTE: The M3U file, like the QT 7 "reference" file mentioned above, merely contains pointers to data stored elsewhere on your system and any change to the relative navigation path can orphan the resource data.)

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.
