Problem embedding quicktime files

Hi,
I run a website with embedded quicktime files at www.tubespot.com. I have a problem viewing the quicktime files using Safari. The page seems to work fine on any other web browser.
I copied the code for the <object> tag and the <embed> tag straight from trailers.apple.com. And in Safari, if I refresh several times, eventually it will show the video. This is true on any of several macs running Panther and Tiger.
Also, when I put forth just the <object> tag it works every time. But in the context of my site, it often doesn't show up. I've tried playing with the tag specs to make sure there's way more than enough room, etc., but I cannot seem to make it consistently show up.
Can anyone look at the code and offer any insight to the problem? Is anyone able to reliably see the videos using Safari?
Thanks,
Chris

Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below
For PC http://www.headbands.com/gspot/ or http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en

Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

Embedded QuickTime files not playing sound

I'm having trouble getting older, embedded QuickTime files to play properly. Many of them do play but without sound.
An example:
The embedded QuickTime files in questions 6 and 10 here...
http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07web.htm l
...do not play sound.
When viewing the files directly...
Example: http://www.linguistics.ucla.edu/people/schuh/lx001/Web_Quizzes/Quiz_07/07_Quiz_m edia/0706_split_brain_red.mov
...the sound plays properly.
I have done a bit of playing around on a few different machines and have found the following:
2009 MacBook Pro: video and sound play correctly in Safari and Firefox

Is this a Yosemite issue? Not being able to play older QuickTime 7 files properly? I'm not sure what else the issue could be since everything seems to work fine in 10.7, 10.8, and 10.9 (unfortunately, I have been unable to test this in 10.10 or 10.10.1). Maybe I'm overcomplicating a simple issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Some very interesting observations which peaked my own curiosity due to on-again, off-again nature of the playback. I suspect this is either a "bug" or represents content handling changes that are currently in the process of "evolving." Not a web site programmer so I used iWeb to run some contrast-comparison tests on how audio was handled by the plug-in software when directly accessing the content by its URL and via the page embed strategies. My results mirrored yours in that:
1) All legacy codecs tested (A-Law, IMA, QDM2, QPV, and u-Law) in an MOV file container played correctly in the QT 7 player.
2) The same files all played correctly when content was accessed by the plug-in software directly using the URL reference.
3) None of the files containing legacy audio compression formats would play audio using the plug-in software using a web page embedding strategy.
4) An MP4 (H.264/AAC) version of you original clip played correctly in all instances.
5) Replacing your QDM2 audio track with an AAC audio track in the original MOV file allowed the file to play correctly in all instances.
Based on these observations, I suspect the problem is in the way the software is currently programmed to handle (or rather ignore) the embedded strategy content. However, as you indicated, it is probably time to update your files. Not only did the H.264/AAC version of your original file play in all instances, but it used less than 45% of the file space/bandwidth for the settings I employed as compared to your original "0706_split_brain_red.mov" original file.

How do I get an embedded quicktime file to appear "activated" w/playback & volume upon opening PDF?

I am new to adobe acrobat, and I'm using version 8. I am trying to insert quicktime videos in a PDF File. I have figured out how to insert the video files and embed them in the PDF.
However, when I save the PDF, close it, and then re-open the it, the quicktime file does not appear. If I don't use a poster image, then it is just blank where the file is, but the file is there, and when I click on the empty space where I know that it has been embedded a dialog box opens about playing it just this once, or making it a trusted file, etc. Then it plays, and the volume and playblack controls, along with the background, are visible. (it is actually just an audio track in a quicktime file, so nothing is playing but the audio, and the background is solid black. I have set it up so that it stays there once activated.
What I want is for the volume and playblack controls and the black background to appear as soon as you open the PDF file, without having to click in the blank area where the file has been inserted. This is going to be part of a portfolio that I am submitting for a school program, so I need the person that is opening it to be able to clearly see where the file is, and see the playblack and volume controls so that he can playback the file.
So how do i get the embedded quicktime file to automatically show up in "activated" mode, with the playback and volume controls visible and ready to be used?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks...

If the video is only linked it would reduce the file size of the pdf and it would make it accessible for people opening on a device (like iPad) which does not allow flash which must be installed with Acrobat to view embedded media.
But I would recommend to send the people only a link to the PDF. I hate it, when my iPhone filled with useless stuff, if I would like to see it I could donwload, but as attachment make my space overfilled.

Embedding quicktime files to be viewed in mobile safari on iphone

I'm trying to place some quicktime files i've made on my site so that they're viewable on my iphone's mobile safari browser. I can't seem to get it to work, anyone else have any luck?
Currently i've exported it as .mov, and .m4v several different ways including using QTPro, FCP, and compressor and always selecting the iPhone option.
Is there a certain type of html the iphone needs to have the video embedded with in order to read it on the iphone?
My current result is either the phone says "can't download file" or "quicktime can't play file"

i'm not sure the iphone supports .mov files. try exporting as a .mp4 (MPEG-4).

Get Embedded Quicktime Files to Load LAST?

This is a long standing issue for me and I haven't been able to find a solution.
Is there a way to force embedded Quicktime media to load last on my iWeb created pages? Often, when I have an .mp3 or worse, an .mov; a few of the page elements load on the browser screen, but then the movie file loads and, until it is fully loaded, the rest of the page elements do not.
Please help. This is really a big deal to me as I add more and more blog entries.

Possible workarounds that don't load the movie until the play button is selected:
Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window
QT Movies via Export for Web in QT Player

Problems with QuickTime file...

I have recently tried updating iTunes, but during installation, it told me that there's a problem, and that it needed QuickTime. QuickTime was already installed, so I uninstalled it, downloaded the standalone setup file, and proceeded to install QuickTime again. During installation, it tells me that there's an error, and that it can't find "C:\documents and settings\[username]\local settings\temp\ixp424.tmp\quicktime.msi". I don't have any QuickTime files on my computer, and the iTunes installer won't work either, as QuickTime refuses to install... Can someone please help?

thanks tom. i am refering to render bar in the timeline, upper for video and lower for audio. May be i shoud describe them as white line gaps between dark grey or steel grey bar color.
what do you mean by down mixing? please advise

Problem viewing Quicktime files after export

So a few months ago, I finished a number of projects in Final Cut Express. I exported them as self-contained .mov files and kept those files in their own folder. Today, I try to open/play those Quicktime files, Quicktime opens and says "loading video", and only audio plays. No video. Weird.
What I want to do is upload these videos to YouTube, so I opened MPEG Streamclip in an attempt to transfer these apparently corrupt files into a .mp4 format. When I drag and drop the Quicktime files into MPEG Streamclip (the title of the first .mov file I tried is "1 Naitram On the Road to Syndicate"), I get this: "The movie file "1 Naitram On- FIN - 00000002 cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly".
When I first exported these projects into .mov files a few months back, I was able to watch them in Quicktime. Now, I cannot. Why would this be? Can a file just corrupt like that over time? Are these files beyond saving? Thanks..

Thanks Al..
The files originally used were imported from my Canon Vixia HF G10; I guess you would call them AVCHD files? Anyways, when the files were imported, a scratch disc folder as well as a Render Files folder was created. I arranged the imported clips in my sequence to make a two minute long videos, then exported as self-contained movie files. Would having tampered with or deleted these Render Files even AFTER exporting have corrupted the QuickTime file? ....because I may have done that..

Problem with QuickTime files

I'm tring to import some QuickTime files into a CS3 project.
The files play fine when first put on the timeline, but as soon as I render them the playback flickers.
Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Major Finder Problem for Quicktime Files

Hey all,
I have noticed a horrible bug in Finder for Sprited Quicktime files.
Some background. Some files I download have web 'popups' in the Quicktime file as a marketing campaign. We put a link inside the Quicktime file (you can do so in GoLive) so when it is opened to the end a web link pops up.
However, Leopard has introduced a bug where if you open a folder that even HAS one of these sprited Quicktime files, it will open my browser and go to the link inside the Quicktime file, even though I did even open the file.
I know this bug does not effect everyone, but it is a serious bug in the software.

dude. gotta watch where you download your pornoze!
heh
thx for the heads up. havent noticed that yet here. i wonder if this bug is because of quick look...

Embedded quicktime files in website

Hi
whats the best method of embedding some .mov h264/mp3 demos in a website WITHOUT having the videos load on page load. essentially i want an embedded player like the JW FLV Media Player which you see on blogs all the time and doesnt load the video until the user clicks on the video image - problem is it dosent work with my .movs, are there any other flash-written embedded players that will?

The technique is known as a "poster movie" page.
A simple image file format saved as a .mov file. It loads the QuickTime browser plug-in (testing the machine for a QuickTime install) and just "waits" for a viewers "click".
The click triggers the HREF link and the "target" (browser window, new browser window or QuickTime Player) downloads and displays the file.
Advantages to this method are obvious. The image format "poster" is a very tiny file size. Nothing happens until a visitor click on those images so you could have dozens of them on a single page. Nothing downloads until a visitor clicks which saves you tons of bandwidth usage.
One of my pages as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
Another method is a QuickTime Media Link file. These are tiny .qtl files that are "text based" links you can add to your page(s). Because they are text based URL's you could disguise them in the body of an html file page text. They measure in KB's (bytes, really) and a click on them would download to the viewers computer. If they have their browser set to open "Safe" files the QuickTime Player app would launch and the file would play using the Presentation settings you set for the file.
Another of my files as an example:
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/.Public/TouchofGrey.qtl
If my example reverts to the "small" version please wait about 30 seconds and then hit Command-F to revert to full screen so more data can download.

Problems embedding PDF files into Excel 2003 workbooks

Several of my fellow consultants engaged on a client project were previously able to successfully embed PDF files as objects within Excel 2003 workbooks. However, most recently, a few of them have been encountering odd icon displays for the embedded object (not the standard Adobe PDF icon), resulting in the user unable to view the object (these colleagues are using desktop PCs running Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader 9.3.2). Has anyone encountered this and have a remedy?

Thanks for responding -
My colleagues report that no error messages appear when adding the object to the Excel spreadsheet - however, the object is created with a non PDF icon being displayed. Once the icon is double clicked, nothing appears. The sample of the problem was forwarded to me - where I can see that the object icon is in fact a non Adobe PDF icon (see below). While I am able to open the PDF file with my PC desktop configuration (Windows XP, Excel 2007, Adobe Reader v9.4.1.), those with Windows XP, Excel 2003 and Adobe Reader v9.3.2 can not. Any thoughts?

Problems with Quicktime files

Hi everybody,
I have a huge problem with the quicktime. Some week ago I wanted to download the last version of QTime.
I donloaded the 7 version but I could not install. So I deleted some files from the quicktime folder library of the computer
and now I have other version 7 of quicktime and the quicktime X but the verson 7 doesn't work and the X does. But my big
problem is, that my web cam doesn't work and also doesn't work when I want to use processing with the webcam, and I need it
for a project that I am doing.
What I need to install in my computer to restore it?
Which libraries for the mac I need?
If anybody can help me I really appreciate it.
Thanks for your time
Daniel

Problems Embedding Sound Files

I recently upgraded from Acrobat Pro 8 to X, not realizing how different they are. In 8, I would open a link to a sound file and then click on the box that allowed me to embed it in the document. I could have the field borders invisible so that when the hand passed over a text that was linked to sound, it changed to the pointing finger and clicking started the sound.
Now it seems I can't do that any longer. I watched the tutorial and it looks like I have to have something that's visible. While I know that you can set it so the sound file marker won't print, it's still ugly and carries no identification, unless I add a text field and then have others who use the file learn to exclude both the "comment" and the image of the sound file.
What I would like to do at the minimum is to be able to type in an identifier for the sound file which is part of the image itself, or else make the image of the sound file transparent, so that the relevant text already present would show through, like it did in Acrobat 8.
Does anyone know if this is possible any longer? I miss the old way.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I've run into similar problems and haven't found a satisfactory solution with sound files. Others have reported this problem as well.
You might experiment in turning sound files into movies, and making your text label into the first frame of the movie (the "movie poster"). The best movie formats for Acrobat 9 and Acrobat X are Flash formats—F4V and FLV. If you have a copy of InDesign CS5, it's easier to use the Media panel to place and manipulate the Flash movies.
