Playing subtitles on Quicktime

Hi I am trying to play a foreign film which has a subtitle file in a separate folder. How can I add this to the film using Quicktime?
The file is an .avi, I am using the Perian plugin to play it on Quicktime. When I try and open the subtitle file on its own, MPlayer OS X 2 launches and that is useless.
Please help, I am trying to watch this good Korean movie....Thank you!

You only need the "codec" used to create the file to play it back using QuickTime Player.
Open the "Movie Info" window (open the file with QT Player) Control-i
Do a Google search for a Windows compatible codec, download and install it.
Restart the QuickTime Player for these newly installed codecs to be found.

What is a .vob file and how can I play it in Quicktime Player?

I have a video file .vob. I can play it in VLC, but I would like to be able to play it in Quicktime. Do I need to change its file type? And to what? And how?

VLC Player...

Audio recording on a flash. recommended to download vlc media player did this. tried to play messages says quicktime does not recognise this format. what to do pleaser

RECIEVED AN AUDIO RECORDING ON A FLASH. PLUGGED IT IN. DOWNLOADED VLC MEDIA PLAYER AS RECOMMEMDED. TRIED TO PLAY.
MESSAGE RECEIVED SAYING QUICKTIME DOES NOT RECOGNISE THIS FORMAT. WHAT TO DO PLEASE.

You could add Perian. It may help (...or not).
Wait, you received and audio recording and you are trying to use a video player (vlc) to play it? What kind of file is it? Does it have a filename extension? If it is .wmv then you might want to install Flip4Mac. Then you could play it with QuickTime.

Large .dv file plays fine in Quicktime, but audio out of sync in iMovie??

hi,
i'm trying to convert some old analog 8mm tapes to digital. to do this, i'm using a sony trv320 camcorder with firewire feeding iMovie '08. i've imported an entire 2 hour tape into iMovie, and everything is fine except that at some point, the audio gets out of sync from the picture. i've opened the huge 24 GB .dv file in Quicktime, and everything is in sync, so I assume this is some kind of problem related to iMovie. i've done lots of searching on this and have made sure that the camcorder is sending 16 bit audio out. i also tried using mpeg streamclip to split the huge .dv file into smaller parts, but this resulted in the same audio sync problem (which is weird).
is my only option to manually import my tapes 10 minutes at a time? please say no
the most puzzling thing about this is that the huge .dv file is perfectly in sync all the way through when playing back in Quicktime.
i'm at a loss!! hope someone can help.

I've edited in FCP and exported with compressor with all the appropriate settings, to mpeg 2.
Double check to make sure that you edited in Anamorphic and also encoded as 16:9 video not 4:3 - also make sure you set the Track to 16:9 Letterbox in DVD SP.
What encoding rates did you use for the video and audio? Sometimes if the rates are too high it can cause drifts.
On the audio side, did you export the FCP as self contained and make the audio AC3? Also you can try just exporting the audio as an AIF and encode that as an AC3.
How did you burn the DVD (Speed and Media used?) Sometimes bad burns/media can cause issues.

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. Can I correct this?

Video portion of Nightwish DVD not playing correctly on Quicktime. It is not a smooth playback. A little jerky. Is there an easy slution to the problem?

I worded my question incorrectly. It isn't a DVD I'm having the problem with, it' s a Nightwish concert download form iTunes I am having the video portion of the video that plays not smoothy. Like it is moothing it short little segments, not a steady flow!

My older M-JPEG quicktime movies play black in Quicktime and Keynote

I was just recently asked to give a presentation that I had put together 3 years ago in Keynote. All of my quicktime movies that Keynote were using were M-JPEG and used to all play great the last time I opened my file. Since Then I've updated my OS to 10.7.1, I have a Macbook Pro, Quicktime 10.1, Keynote 09, but also have Quicktime Pro.
When I play my keynote, all of my movies come up black when they play. If I try and open my quicktime movies directly and play them in Quicktime or Quicktime pro, they also come up black. But I can open it in VLC and it plays fine.
I tried to start converting the quicktime movies using SmartConverter, but it's time consuming since I have over 50 quicktime movies that this keynote is referencing. Some of the quicktime movies are also erroring out too when trying to convert them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with M-JPEG quicktime movies that used to work just fine? Anything I could do across the board to be able to use these rather than converting them all?
Thanks,
Dale

QuickTime in Lion is not reliable as of 10.7.1. The next OS update will fix this. Should be out tomorrow when Apple updates all of its software for iCloud.
See if your problems are gone then.

How to reposition subtitles in Quicktime?

Hello community,
I am wondering if there is a way to reposition subtitles in Quicktime player and then re-export as an MP4 file for the iPad. Currently the subtitles appear at the bottom of the screen, and I want them to appear at the top. Does anyone know if Quicktime player, or another app for Mac OS X will do this? I have been researching for a couple hours and it looks like this is not possible, but thought I would ask the experts before jumping to any conlucsions.
All help greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Quicktime movie HD file I received won't play when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3, it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type?

Large, 5min long Quicktime .mov HD file I received says it's converting when I try to open and play it in Quicktime 10.3 but then stops and tells me it's not a supported file type, a program I downloaded to try and convert the file type also told me the same thing.
Doesn't let me see a preview so I think the file is to blame.
I believe it's a faulty file as it says this particular .mov is not a supported file type but is there any way to be sure?
(Doesn't open in iTunes.)

Play subtitles in Windows Media player

Hello , This is Question for Adobe CC Premiere 7.2.1
Has anyone succeeded in above program to play in WMP an embeded file (export scc and media file) ? I sucesfully to export (media file and scc) and than play a embeded subtitles in Quick time player but for wmp i don't know what else I should do. i export (media file and scc) in WMA format on the similar way as for the QTP, I exported instead in QTP format I choose Windows Media from menu . File-> Export->Media->Format->Windows MEdia I use win 7 and wmp 12 version . I choose option in WMP ''Play subtitles if it available'' but it still doesn't appear.
I hope that you understand my grammar and problem and that you will help me , regards from Slovenia . .

Thx for answer to both person.
I think that such simple feature (convert to wmp format) is only a war against the Microsott user
but it is a very sad moment reputation of Adobe CC usefulness.
Also there are many things which I wonder why Adobe CC have not.
I wonder if it does not want or it can not have. I have in mind why there isn't realized
to export scc (maked in CC) in other useful format such as srt or sub.
I think these are great ''little'' things that people need and more respect and use Adobe Premiere CC.

Playing dvds with quicktime

i just purchased the component to quicktime that allows me to play DVDs on quicktime but i still cant get my dvds to play in quicktime. when i put the dvd into my computer it doesnt open up with quicktime and when i look at the differnt files there are so many different video files on the dvd and none of them open up with quicktime. how do i get my dvds to play in quicktime now that i downloaded the mpeg2 player for quicktime?

Even though it is not encrpypted it could still be in transport_stream format and the component will not play it. Try this freeware. The Mac version will play transport_stream, so maybe the new Windows version will also. Mpeg StreamClip

No Music in Exporting a self playing slideshow to Quicktime.

I exported a self playing slideshow to QuickTime in order to burn DVD inToast.
I selected the Include Audio button but when I played back the file the music did not play. I noticed the export made two files - The video files and a seperate audio file. How do I combine the two files to burn a DVD to play on an HDTV screen?

How do you rehearse timings o produce a self-playing movie?? I am struggling to have a self playing movie that has all different timings within it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much. Antony

Anyone know how to get subtitles into Quicktime movies?

With Quicktime now supporting subtitles. Does anyone know how import subtitles into Quicktime movies?
After following the instructions from Apple's support pages for timed text, I tried pasting in timed text. This displays text below the video in an ugly black bar, but isn't recognised as subtitles by Quicktime. Ideally, I'd like to convert srt files into a compliant format, but without knowing the correct format, it's a little difficult.

There haven't been any really clear instructions on how to get subtitles into QuickTime movies yet. Apple has posted a QuickTime component that will convert an SCC file into QuickTime and you'll find that here.
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/ClosedCaptionImporter/index.html
Also, a discussions user has posted instructions on how to CC a QuickTime movie in this thread.

MIDI files don't play correctly in QuickTime

I believe this is a bug in QuickTime, but since I don't expect the typical QuickTime user to understand this, and because I am generating the MIDI files with Logic, I thought this forum is an appropriate play to post this.
I'm producing some MIDI files that I would like people to easily be able to playback without installing special software. So that means using QuickTime.
The problem is QuickTime does not handle MIDI program changes properly. I put together a simple test case, it's just the notes C D E F and before each note it changes the MIDI program to 0, 10, 20, 30 respectively. So every note should sound different. When I play it with QuickTime, on either OS X or Windows, it does not play correctly. It seems the program change messages lag behind by one note.
To make sure this wasn't a problem with the MIDI file, I have tried playing it with:
* a hardware synthesizer
* SimpleSynth (a freeware program)
* AU DLS Synth (using Max/MSP to play the MIDI)
* WinAmp
* Windows Media Player
In all these cases, the playback occurs exactly like I would expect. So... QuickTime can't handle program change messages? Has anyone else experienced problems with this? Anyone know of a workaround? How about some easy alternatives to MIDI playback on Mac for people who don't have Logic?
I tried to find a workaround: I made the program changes occur well before the note-on, but that didn't help. I also tried sending multiple program changes to try to force QuickTime to listen. That didn't work either.
I have QuickTime 7.5.5. If someone else can verify this is a QuickTime bug, I will submit a bug report to Apple.
The file I used for testing is here: http://stashbox.org/262021/program-change-test.mid

Adam,
I can confirm this behavior on both Tiger 10.4.11 (QT 7.4.5) and Leopard, (QT 7.5.5).
I messed around with it and almost had it working by using a +30-tic offset on all events. The problem seems to be a good sized buffer used by the QT synth. If there is a solution I think it will be an initial offset by --- number of tics.
I'd also separate the program change and note event by at least a couple of tics.
Like this example using a 60-tic offset.
1 1 1 60 PG
1 1 1 62 Note on
2 2 2 60 PG
2 2 2 62 Note on
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Back in the day I used to do MIDI files for commercial distribution, I know how
frustrating it can be. Trying to get consistent sound over a variety of GM/XG synths.

Subtitles in Quicktime Pro not sub but above-titles

I rigorously followed the instructions to add subtitles via Quicktime Pro, using a text-file etc.
All seems to work but the "subtitles" appear above the movie...
A blogger referred met to Quicktime instructions mentioning tags and other terms.
I'm a complete ignoramous in this field.
Could anyone give me specific and idiot-proof directions to get my subtitles really sub the movie, plaese?

Open the Movie properties window and single click on the "text" track.
Click the Visual Settings tab to adjust the "offset" values to position the text below the video track.

Mystery of why itunes won't play certain songs - quicktime plays them fine

symptoms:
most of my songs play normally.
the songs that don't play do show up normally in itunes playlist. when i try to play them, however, itunes skips over them immediately and moves on to the next file in the playlist.
this is not a standard "file not found"-type of error. no error message appears. the songs do NOT get a little grey exclamation on them afterwards.
after being skipped, the last played date and play count of the song file is updated in my library as though itunes thinks it played the song normally.
if right-click on the song in itunes and say "show sound file", the file is visible in the finder. if i view a preview in the finder, i CAN PLAY THE FILE FROM THE FINDER PREVIEW window, which makes this whole situation very odd.
i can also open the files and play them in quicktime player.app. they play fine.
the songs in question seem to be mostly old (~5 yrs) files that were encoded in a very old version of itunes (before it was called itunes) called soundjam. still i am pretty sure they are valid mp3 files. i'm quite sure that i have played them with itunes in the past, though i am not sure how long it has been since i last played them - perhaps a few years.
somehow it appears that the standard quicktime player for mp3 files is perfectly happy with this files, yet there is something about them that itunes does not like.
the files have relatively low bitrates (they are digitized versions of old cassette tapes). at least some of them (perhaps all) show in itunes as being encoded with SoundJam 2.6.2, and having variable bit rate.
i am using the latest version of itunes on mac os 10.4.6.
any suggestions?

so i think you understand that i was upset to find out that they had become unplayable/unconvertable in itunes.
Yes, I do understand. I have a few recordings of family members who died a few decades ago. They're still on tape and I want to digitize them before the magnetic particles "all point to the magnetic poles again".
I'm still in doubt in which format to store them however.
I digitized most of my old vinyl to AIFF and then converted them to Apple Lossless to save HD space.
The costs of large capacity disks have decreased over the years, so I'm thinking to leave the digitized recordings in AIFF format.
This format looks to last for at least a few decades (I hope).
I remember when old data on some type of punchcards (is this correct English?) had to be converted to go in the computer age.
The machines to read them already had been demolished, so they had to build a new one :/
