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.

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.

How to play quicktime .mov files on iphone

I would like to be able to play quicktime (.mov) files on my iphone4s but I get a message that my file cannot be played on this iphone.
I created the file in keynote, exported it to a quicktime movie with the manual advance option.
My goal is to be able to use iphone to connect to a projector with a iphone to vga adapter and thus project my presentations from the iphone.
But I cannot import import it using itunes to the iphone.
Wondering if there is an app that plays quick time movies or some other option.
The reason I cannot export from keynote is that it does not give the option for manual advance.
It only provides a fixed time option.
Appreciate any help
thank you
jac

Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Sync & Play Quicktime Movies on Apple TV

They have to be in the correct format to play on AppleTv - what are the Quicktime video and audio formats of the files?
They need to be:

Ipad play quicktime movies?

I am wondering if the ipad is capable of playing quicktime movies? I often make screen movies using quicktime for my job. It would be helpful to be able to hook up the ipad to a projector and play these movies. Thanks for any feedback.

Having issues as well. My case, I took a longish (11 minute) HD video w/ my Canon T1i camera. iPhoto pulled the file off my camera as a 2.1GB .MOV file encoded as H.264 30fps 26.75Mb/s 1280x720 video.
For the life of me I cannot get that movie onto my iPad. I finally made a special playlist just for my videos and while the video appears in that playlist in iPhoto, it doesn't show up on the iPad, even though the playlist and (what initially looks like) all the other videos do.
I'm going to go test that I'm able to get any video from my camera through that workflow onto the camera, as I've got a tiny suspicion it's the 2.1GB file size (despite the fact the iPad has plenty of space).

HT1657 Problem playing rental movies

I left my rented movie downloading overnight, and tonight when I went to watch it, it said it was ready; but when I tried to play the movie, it required a further 6 hours of downloading. What's going on, and how can I fix it?

I too downloaded the update to Quicktime, but it did not solve my problem. After much pulling out of the hair, I found a fix for myself. It may help someone else. This is what I had to do:
1. Make sure that movies are set to play in a seperate window (found in Edit/Preferences/Playback.
2. Open iTunes (DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PLAY THE MOVIE FROM iTUNES). Instead switch to the mini player mode (found under Advanced).
3. Open your movie folder where the rental is. The movie folder is usually found in My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies. Right click on the rented movie and select "Play". It will open in a regular window, but you should be able to click on the control for full screen at the bottom of the play control. I hope this helps someone else... I have tested it three times and it's worked every time.

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?

Problem with QuickTime Movies From iMovie HD

I posted this earlier (on the second day of Leopard's Release), and did not get much feedback, and so thought I'd try again after people have had time to run Leopard.
I have some movies that I created using iMovie HD. I have the QuickTime version of the movie for use with Front Row.
On my G5 iMac running Leopard, the quality of the movies on Front Row is fine. However, in Leopard, the quality is lousy. The movies were made from still photos, using the Ken Burns effect. There are also transitions. On the web, on my iWeb site, the pictures take a while to come into focus. I sort of expect this on the web. However, I've found the same thing with the movie files using Front Row on Leopard. Again, this slowness in coming into focus does not appear when playing the movie on Front Row on Tiger on a G5 iMac.
Curious if anyone else has encountered problems/issues with QuickTime movies files from iMovie HD. And if so, what if any fixes are available.
Thanks in advance.
Russell

Hmmmm, so it works OK in Front Row but NOT in Quicktime player? Thats odd. Front Row works worse for me!
It sounds like it may be a rendering problem with Quicktime - It has to process the file in general (or parts of the file, for example, if you export 10 pics looped in Flash, it has to process the 10 image files each time it plays it through, resulting in the first 4 or 5 images to shoot out jerkily [read LAG] unlike the rest of the movie, which is smooth). If these images in your movie are large in file size or contain tons of wacky photoshopped effects, etc, that might be whats causing the problem.
I'd check everything is updated to the latest version, repair permissions on the disk in Disk Utility, and then see if anythings improved.
Hope this helps you.

Missing Render Files / Problem Exporting Quicktime Movie

Everything was going great on my 21 minute project.
I had exported it to iDVD via a Quicktime movie and it looked great in widescreen format. It worked perfectly.
Now, for whatever reason, when I load my project, I get a message saying the Render Files are missing. I am unable to locate them anywhere. I had them stored along with my project on an external firewire 400 drive.
So I press "continue" without finding the missing files.
Now when I export my movie, it appears 4:3 with gray vertical bars on the side!
When I view the project on the canvas, it looks perfect as 16:9. Everything looks normal in FCE.
Did a render file get corrupted or something? Is there a way to delete all the "old" render files and tell Final Cut Express to re-render my entire new project? Would that solve my problem?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I did what you said and the "exported" file says:
Kind: Final Cut Express Movie File
Under More Info it says:
720x480 Integer (Little Indian) Timecode
Total Bit Rate: 30,313
Why am I trying to export?
Before I ran into trouble, I would export my FCE project using the Export Quicktime Movie command.
I then used iDVD (set to 16:9) to burn to DVD.
It worked perfectly before.
But now, all of a sudden, the same project always shows up at 4:3, whether played in Quicktime or when burned to DVD using iDVD set to 16:9.
The version of FCE is 4.0 and the version of Quicktime is 7.4.5
Thank you again for trying to help me!

Soundbooth CS4 Problem with Quicktime MOV files

I know that Soundbooth CS4 should support Quicktime MOV files but I just get a placeholder image and the video doesn't play. What should I do? I don't know if it is an issue with Quicktime or with Soundbooth.
Thanks,
Bruce

It's probably an incompatible codec in the QT. If the audio isn't AC3 and on a separate track from the video this can happen. There are still a few applications out there that will write the audio into the video track, and QT will still play it that way.
Are you attempting to edit video with Soundbooth?
If you are it's not a good idea.
You really should be using Premiere or Efter Effects to edit video, and leave Soundbooth for audio work.
If you have QT Pro, try extracting the audio from the MOV and save THAT as an MOV of just the audio. SB should have no problem opening that/

No video when playing QuickTime MOV file in iTunes

I received a QuickTime MOV file from a business associate who transferred it from his Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to his Mac. When I load up the file in iTunes on my Win XP machine, it will play back the audio, but there is no video. When I try to play it back in QuickTime, a window comes up telling me that additional software is needed. When I click the button to go download the software, a browser window comes up listing about 15 different products -- with no indication of which if any will solve the problem. I don't know for certain that any of them will, and I don't have time to download 15 products to test each one. Is there not a more simple way to find out what I need and where to download it? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this file to a friendlier format? This is video of a business event that we need to edit for distribution.

Thanks. That explains it. The person who made the .wmv file says it was made with Camtasia Studio. Do you have any idea what he might have done for it to choose this MSS2 codec over something more universally compatible?
Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.

Issue with playing quicktime movie on win pc

I've run into an issue with dvds a friend burned on a mac. The quicktime
movie files on the discs play fine on macs, but will begin to stutter
and freeze 35 minutes in on win xp. i've tried multiple pcs with no
luck.
The same thing happens when I copy the files to the hard drive. I tried the VLC
player instead of quicktime, but that closes altogether after 35 minutes. I
also tried copying the files to an external hard drive with the same results.
Quicktime is at latest version.
I saw a post here about files over 1GB being problematic in windows with the FAT file system. The PCs I'm using are using the NTFS file system. The files are over 2GB, and they spaz out at the halfway mark, so perhaps that is part of the problem. But I'm stunned that there aren't more posts on this topic if that's the case.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I have had similar problems. I have not experienced the
looping problem but I very often experience the problem of
Quicktime not playing in Shockwave.I think that I can solve the
second part of your problem ( if I understand it correctly).
You can make a streaming progress sprite for quicktime that
indicates to the end user what percentage of the Quicktime movie
has streamed. The sprite appears as a small box that shows a 1 then
a 2 then a 3 etc up to 100. You can of course make another text
sprite that tells the user what the numbers mean e.g. % streamed.
Method
Make a text sprite and leave it blank (this text sprite will
show the appropriate number during enduser viewing) name the member
stream display. Name the Quicktime member swing 1a and put it in
the timeline. Right click on the quicktime sprite in the stage
window and in the resulting pop up menu select Script . In the
Script window write the following script
on exitFrame me
member("stream display").text=\
string(member("swing1a").percentStreamed)
end

IE and FireFox crashing when trying to play QuickTime movie

I'm on a PC running Windows 2000 and QuickTime 7. I'm trying to play some movies of my own within a browser but am experiencing problems with the browsers crashing. Sometimes, they work the first time, but after that the browsers crash. The error messages are:
Microsoft IE has encountered a problem and needs to close.
firefox.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
I've been trying variations of the HTML code but here is the last one that actually worked the first time in FireFox but not anytime after that:

The movie is 8MB is size. I've checked my mime settings and the Flash player is not checked.
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks,

You've failed to enter a "source" for your HREF "target".
Use a complete URL to the QT file you wish the "quicktimeplayer" to "target" and your page should work as you want.
