Problem viewing videos on my iweb site - Macs only

Hello,
I recently uploaded some .movs (Quicktimes) to my iweb site. They were exported from Final Cut Pro using Compressor, using the Quicktime streaming option, size 320x240. When I publish, anyone using a PC (presumably Firefox) can click the play button on the quicktime and watch it. However, when viewing the page on a Mac (tested on a few different systems) you can't click the play button, you can't even scrub through the video. On a laptop you can ctrl+click and it will play, but I can't get it to work on a desktop (either with ctrl+click or right click). The website was published on a computer with Tiger, and iLife '04.
In case it's important, I've had success publishing videos on sites made with iLife '04 but with the Leopard operating system (on a different computer), but I'm thinking this shouldn't be a problem.
Anyone heard of this problem or have any solutions for me?

Update: just discovered that it has nothing to do with desktops and laptops, but in Safari you can right click the play button and it will play. In Firefox on a Mac, there is no way to get it to play. In Firefox in a PC, however, you can just click it normally to play.

    That means you do not have the proper plugin installed. You need the Flash plugin.

    Try posting in the QuickTime for Mac forum. You'll be more likely to get help there than you will here in the QuickTime for Windows forum.
    Good luck.
    Forum Tip: It is generally considered inappropriate behavior to type all in uppercase letters in Internet discussions, as text that is typed all in uppercase is by convention considered to be shouting. Uppercase is also more difficult to read, so please use all uppercase sparingly and only when you really mean to shout, which we hope you won’t need to do here .

  • Any suggestions about my problems viewing videos?

    I have had my computer for 4 years now and with Adobe Flash Player installed I have had no trouble viewing videos etc. However, recently I have been unable to view videos and it keeps telling me that I need to download Adobe Flash Player. Even though I thought this was already on my computer, I go ahead and download it. It tells me I have successfully downloaded it. But I still can't view videos. It KEEPS ON telling me I need to download Adobe Flash Player.  Anyone know what's going on???

  • Problem viewing videos in Safari

    I used to use Chrome all the time but have read using Safari could increase my battery’s life before its next charge. When using chrome and viewing videos in YouTube and Facebook I had no problems but since I started using Safari it has been saying I am missing a plugin. I presume this is Flash player. I am reluctant to download Flash because of possible increased CPU usage and battery drain and all apple aps are designed to use HTML5, so I was wondering if there is another way of allowing videos to play within the webpage?
    Thanks
    Matt

    You're correct to avoid Flash when practical.
    Flash is being phased out by most sites that use it in favor of HTML5 page code. That is sites that rely heavily on video and not the millions of Flash based ads.
    But if the page is coded to use Flash then without the plug-in you can't view it. Doesn't matter how much you don't want Flash to be installed. Many files will not be converted to HTML5 code.

  • Problems viewing videos and trailers after the lastest Flash Player update

    I have Windows 7 - 64 bit, I use Firefox 11 (latest version) and Chrome (latest version); however, since I have installed the latest Flash Player update, I cannot view any trailers or some videos.  Youtube works fine, but other sites dont (I just get a green screen).  Please can someone assist me?  I have tried the "Help" section for Flash Player and it hasn't been too helpful.
    Thanks in advance!
    Ok, I found the problem, my hardware acceleration was set to enabled, once I disabled it, I had no problems viewing any of my sights that used Flash.

    You might want to update your driver, particularly if you have an NVidia GPU.  Here's a post where we describe this process and ask for additional details so we can resolve this for others.

  • I just started having a problem viewing videos, namely youtube.  Any suggestions?  Thank You.  Scott

    I just started having problems viewing youtube videos.  Other videos on other sites appear to be working.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank You.

    A friend recommended this and surprisingly I could watch the videos so apparently my issue is a Flash problem.
    Try this test:
    Try this, www.youtube.com/html5 and click 'Join the html5 trial' and see if you can watch videos then. If you can, it's a flash issue. If not, I have no idea.
    If it's flash, I would upgrade FF to 5.0. I believe it uses built in flash, much like Chrome does.

  • I want people to be able to download videos from my iweb site. New to this...how can I do this?

    I made an iweb site but used "gallery" for videos that people could download. Now "gallery" is going to disappear but I want people still to be able to download my videos if I choose. I thought I would put this option on my iweb site but don't know how to do it? Any suggestions.

    Create a zip of your movie files - Finder/File/Compress - and upload them to a folder on the server.
    Create a text or image hyperlink to each one and the file will download when clicked...

    This page explains the method for PDFs which is just the same for most any file...

  • Problem viewing videos on TV

    I just purchased a new Ipod classic 6th gen. 80g and the required new AV composite cable from Apple and after making the proper connections and settings on my Ipod and TV I am still unable to view videos on my TV. (no signal at all coming through to TV) All I get is a message on the ipod screen saying "TV OUT ENABLED please connect video accessory". The cable is already connected. I have tried different TV's but get the same results. Can anyone help me with this problem.

    Hay,
    Sorry got no great words of wisdom, but at least it seems APPLE maybe aware of the problem now if you have spoken to someone.
    I guess we just vwait to see if they release a new update of the firm ware.
    See below from previous discussion reason why. If I hear any thing will let you know. A
    (See below)
    Why in the name of creation would Apple decide to cripple the iPod's video output with their newest firmware update? It is "unlocked" as of version 1.0.2, but that firmware is quite buggy. Finally, Apple "fixed" the video output "aspect ratio" correctly for widescreen displays in version 1.0.3, but for what trade off? So that 3rd party manufacturers (Griffin, Sonic Impact, Monster, iHome, Phillips, etc.) who don't have the correct 30-pin chip connector (identifier) won't be able to carry video from the iPod any longer.

  • Problem viewing video on CIVS-IPC-3520

    We just purchase a few CIVS-IPC-3520, indoor HD cameras, and can not see the video on the web interface to adjust the cameras.
    I first tried with a Windows 7, IE8 laptop, and it will not load the needed activeX files to view the camera.  I then tried a very old laptop with Windows XP and IE8 and it did work.  I have even upgraded the firmware to the latest (V1.4.1-97), which will not work with our current version of VSOM, 6.3.3, and it still does not allow us to view the video.
    Does anyone know of any tricks to get these cameras to show video on the web interface to adjust the camers at installation?  I just dont think that I should have to use 10 year old tech to install something that is brand new. 
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Doug

    Okay, so I had the same problem when we receivied the 3520's on campus in December.  I was able to download the program from the camera utility folder and install the program successfully when running it from the desktop.  I was then able to view video on a camera I was staging in my office.  Fast forward to Friday when I was actually installing the cameras and now I cannot view video again from the PCs that I was previously viewing video.  When bringing up the camera video feed, I get a message that says the Camera UI is not installed.  However, I can open the programs list and see that it is still installed.  Tried uninstalling it, rebooting and re-installing without success.  The install program starts gathering information and then it goes off into la la land.  Running this on Win 7 Enteprise Edition and IE 9 and IE 10.

  • Problem viewing video in Itunes

    Since installing Snow Leopard I cannot view video on full screen in Itunes. When I chose the full screen option the Itunes window disappears but the video display is very small in the center of my screen,

    As for playing windowed in a playlist:
    I'm not sure, but that might just be what happens.
    Just to check with both of you having this problem:
    Are the videos HD? Do you have Closed Captioning turned on?
    What is the resolution of the problem videos (or does it vary)?
    Is this a problem with any other user accounts on the computer, or just yours?
    Any other settings I should know about?
    Sorry I can't be of more help.

  • Problems posting Video into Social Network Site

    Many social networking sites don't allow audios or videos to
    be posted to their blog via the use of iframe. I've successfully
    used the following code on a ning.com blog:
    <object type="text/html" data="
    http://www.deskping.com/PlayWeb.aspx?IsPlayList=False&MediaId=6c12a24d-af46-4ed5-b947-b778 53b6e3c2&width=320&height=265&playerStyle=V001&scrollingText
    = " width="320" height="265"> </object>
    That code will not post the video to a social site called
    yuwie.com.
    I've contacted Yuwie support about how to post to them. All
    they say is:
    "Your object type is text/html we don't show objects of that
    type because you're basically trying to embed another web page into
    your profile. We don't allow this for security reasons. What other
    sites do is irrelevant... You can easily just embed it with the
    standard flash embed code."
    Can anyone give some guidance here on how to configure code
    that would work in the listed social site?
    Your help appreciated.

  • Problem viewing videos I recorded with the phone

    When trying to view videos I recorded with the phone, It gives me a message saying it is impossible to view this multimedia file format!
    It has been recorded with the phone and it can't watch it on the phone!? It doesn't recognize its own recording format
    Help please

    If the format is in 3GP you can view it with a player called VLC (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/), or can try a video conversion program to convert it into a format your computer can read. Once such program can be found here http://www.avs4you.com/AVS-Video-Converter.aspx
