Problem playing QuickTime back on website

I've just started experiencing this problem today.
I converted a 4x3 movie to a 480x360 H.264 file using the QuickTime player.
I then added the video in a new iWeb project and published it to a folder on my desktop.
Followed by that I uploaded it to my personal server and made it live.
I then tried viewing the index.html page using Safari, everything worked just fine, the embedded QuickTime move loaded as per normal.
Now this is where the problem starts...! when I tried hitting the play button on the control bar, it just wouldn't start playing.
I've done this many times before and have never experienced problems.
I have a second iMac machine with leopard installed and thought I'd give that one a go, still the same thing, it won't let me hit play, its like locked.
I also have a laptop with Windows Vista, so I tried internet explorer and it worked just fine. the site loaded and I could press play on the control bar.
Then I thought I'd open the folder on my desktop and try viewing the site not live, well the same thing, it wouldn't let me press play.
It seems that viewing the index.html on my MAC using Safari won't work but viewing it using internet explorer works just fine.
Now I'm not sure if this is a iWeb, Leopard, Safari or QuickTime problem....!
Any ideas...?

Hmmm.....
I'll change the theme I've used and to be safe I'll set my:
content width: 700px
content height 400px.
I'll re-upload it to see if that makes any change.
Also in iWeb under the QuickTime tab, there is an option to set the *POSTER FRAME* even though I do select a frame, I still get a black screen (which is my first frame on the MOV file) after I publish it.
Any idea why?

Problems with playing quicktime video on website - can anyone help?

I have incorporated quick time video onto my website so that the videos are viewable via iphone. I used the HTML and video files format (.m4v, .mov, .gp3) generated by Quickplayer pro "Export for web" option. The html code and videos files works when tested on the local server but does not work via the web server (www.viux.com), a question mark appears on the Quick Time Player.
Can any one help? are we missing some plugin on the websever etc. Kindly help.
My website address is www.surgicaltutorials.com/IphoneVideos_abdomen.html
The website is with www.viux.com on Window OS.
Thanks
Iftee

Hi Guys, The problem is finally solved thanks to www.viux.com support team. All the codes and URL link were fine, the sever had to be configured to play .mov, .m4v ad .gp3 files, which was easily done (after being guided) through the control panel.
Therefore My advise to anyone encountering such problems (Windows / linus platform website playing Quick Time Videos for iphones etc) is to contact the server provider as they will definitely have to either guide or modify the server settings to play such file formats.
Thanks everyone for your help.
regards
Iftee

Safari not playing Quicktime from new website, all other browsers can

Hi, I have a new web site being created. The developer has most of it done but has not been able to get the quicktime movies working correctly. The movies, animations, and panos, can be selected and play from Firefox on the MAC and PC, and IE on the PC.
Our problem is that these same movies do not show or play on Safari on the MAC. we just get a big "Q". The developer is a pc guy and has no way to get it working, he's tried it for months and everyday it's just a day away. Does anyone have some code or know what is going on and how to fix it. This is most frustrating. I would like to change developers but we are too far into the project to do that now. Thanks in advance for any information.

Sudden problems playing Quicktimes?

Interesting thing. Had no trouble this past year or two. Suddenly the Quicktimes are stuttering. Especially the H.264 codecs. I'm having trouble imagining what it might be.
I seem to be able to run HDV through Final Cut 7 more or less without stuttering, but the QT movies alone, especially H.264 are seriously stuttering and jamming.
Any ideas out there?

I see even playing YouTube clips, small, not full screen, jerks and almost stops, and stutters.
The screen looks fine for standard computer work, text etc., but will not play any form of video without stuttering ... I'm at a loss. This is a computer that has worked beautifully for the last two years.

Problems With Quicktime content from Apple website

Hi
I have problems visualizing various sections of the Apple website that contains quicktime content. (Safari thinks Quicktime is not installed)
for example can't see shuffle giuded tour
http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/guidedtour/tour/large.html
or the video for the iphone os 3.0
http://events.apple.com.edgesuite.net/0903lajkszg/event/index.html
from the safari error console i can see there are runtime javascript errors on calls to
'AC.Detector', whose result is non an object, as you can see here

http://i42.tinypic.com/15ejrb9.jpg
Any idea?
Thanks
PS: i have no problems with quicktime from other websites, or from other parts of
Apple.

i don't know
it could be an issue with something else, maybe iTunes
look here

same issue with 'AC.Detector' (I don't know what that is)
i have not had problems with Apple quicktime content in the recent past (same Safari 4 Beta)
i installed iTunes 8.1 recently

None of the quicktime videos from websites play anymore. This started yesterday. Before that I could play them all. Now none of them work. Has anyone had this problem? How did you fix it? Thanks in advance for the help!

Did you try
1, resetting the device
2, deleting all cookies / history items of Safari?

Since upgrading to Lion, I cannot play QuickTime videos in Safari 5.1.1, not even on Apple's own website?

Upgraded to Lion and now I cannot watch QuickTime videos in Safari 5.1. Did not have this problem in Snow Leopard. QuickTime videos do play in Firefox. I cannot even play QuickTime videos on Apple's own website. Any suggestions? I'm using a Macbook Core 2 Duo.

Hi Sami,
I have partially solved my problem. I had software installed for a Twelve South BassJump (it improves the sound of your laptop speakers). When I removed that software, I was able to play videos on Apple's website in Safari. The company has beta software available from their website that is supposed to be Lion compatible but when I installed that the problem returned. But even with that software removed I still cannot watch videos on some sites such as Other World Computing.
I just got a new Macbook Pro yesterday with Lion installed from Apple and all video plays fine. So I believe there must be some compatibilty issues with some plug-in. I have Perian and Flip4Mac installed. I removed 3ivx and the problem still remains. I've read conflicting opinions as to Perian being Lion compatible.
Everything works fine in Firefox at this point so at least I have that to fall back on.
Check your system preference pane under "other" and tell me if you have any of the plug-ins I mentioned installed. Maybe we will be able to see a common culprit.
Let's keep each other posted.
Thanks,

When I have video clips on my timeline, they do not play in the monitor screen. I hear the sound track but can not see the image. To test if my new files are somehow the problem, I went back and used video files that I used successfully a year ago, and they no longer play in the monitor window. I hear the sound track, but do not see any video. Have I changed some setting that controls video playback in the monitor window?

Thanks for the follow up.
Missing in this equation were the version of Premiere Elements that you were using and the computer operating system on which it was running. But...
The deed is done. But.....Until now and after you went ahead and moved to version 12, we now learn what version of Premiere Elements you were using. We still do not know the computer operating system involved.
You just said Premiere Elements 10. Premiere Elements 10 is hit by a serious known display issue if the computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card/graphics card. In this issue, the only remedy is to roll back the driver version to about May 2013. The description of the problem and how to do the roll back are described in one of the Announcements at the top of this forum. What video card/graphics card does your computer use?
On another front, Adobe will be releasing a new version of Premiere Elements any day now. No one but Adobe knows the feature set for the new version. That type of information is announced at the moment of release of the new version.
So the remedy to the problem that you presented in this thread could have been...
1. Rolling back the NVIDIA GeForce driver version to about May 2013 if possible (Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, may not be possible)
2. Move to another version of Premiere Elements (which you did)
I offer the above for consideration so that you can review your decisions. We are pleased to learn that Premiere Elements 12/12.1 works for you.
Please do not hesitate to ask questions and ask for clarifications, but remember that the answers are in the details.
Best wishes,

This info is not helping. I am using VC500MAC digital video conversion system to record old VHS tapes to computer. The file is .mov, but quicktime is not playing it back. Help, please.

Sorry for this question. Can you use this device with Vlc or QuickTime? Does skype support it? Is this device supported only by its own software?
I need a device that can work with my own software. My software can work only with a QuickTime supported device.
Thanks if you will reply to me.

Problem with Quicktime stops Preview in Photoshop? Mac OSX 10.6.8

There were no warnings about Lion blocking old software when I installed Lion. Because purchasing new software was beyond my budget,
I had it removed and went back to Leopard 10.6.8. Now when I'm working in Photoshop and have adjusted an image, a message appears "Because of a problem with Quicktime, a preview can't be built. Quicktime Player 10 is in the Applications folder, and Quicktime Play 7 is in the Utilities folder.
Quicktime movies in Support on the Apple site won't play either. Please advise steps to take or new download.
Thanks!

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

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?

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.

Problem with QuickTime streaming

Hi there
I got an IPad 2 3G , but I have a huge problem. I have a website, which contains some quicktime stream video. but IPad cannot play them at all. Movies have a black screen, in the middle there is QuickTime logo.
Can you help me, how to fix this problem?
Thank you!

Did you repair permissions & restart your computer after installation? If so, then go into your browser's Preferences & map either VLC or Perian as the browser's web plug-in.
I would also go into QT Preferences & check its streaming preferences.
System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
Click on the MIME Settings button.
In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the Video box. This box will enable you to play .avi files.
Click the OK button.
Now click Streaming
Your settings you should be (as starters):
Streaming Speed: Automatic
Make sure Enable Instant-On is enabled (checked).
Now click on Browser
Make sure:
Play movies automatically
Save movies in disk cache
Are both enabled.
Movie download Cache Size: Slider set all the way to the left.
==============
To make VLC your default .avi player:
Highlight an .avi file>File>Get Info>
In the Get Info window, scroll down to "Open with:"
Select VLC.
Click the "Change All..." button if you want to "Use this application to open all documents like this.”

Quicktime 7.2 will not play Quicktime Movies

Ironic isn't it.
I recently purchased Sony's Movie Studio and it required a new(er) verson of Quicktime to import QT movies. So I download 7.2 ( i had 7.01, if I remember correctly) and installed it. I can now import QT into Vegas for editing. Fine. Great.
BUT, and here is the ironic part, Quicktime will no longer play Quicktime movies! Not .mov, .mp4, nothing. Zip. Zilch. But it will play some old avi files for some reason. All I get is the audio and flashing striped colors. Until 7.2 I could load any .mov, avi, mp4 file and edit them without a problem. (I forgot to mention, I had QT Pro) I was also using Any Video Converter to convert old home movies I'd burned to dvd to the mp4 format, and Quicktime worked flawlessly to open them too. Up until this "update" I've been very happy with the performance of Quicktime.
Now, nothing but frustation and the online Support hasn't pointed to a solution. And yes, I have updated my Dell PC running XP to all the latest service packs.
Any ideas? If I delete 7.2 I could probably re-install a version of 6 Pro that always worked, but then Vegas Movie Studio won't work. Kind of a Catch-22. Thank you for any help.

It has helped some who have had this problem. Try dragging the QuickTime webplugin folder to the desktop in case you need to put it back and see.
