Problems with mov. files

I have a JVC Everio camcorder. I have been messing with it for weeks now with little luck. When you save files it is a moi. or mov. file.
The only program i want to watch the vidoes on is Quicktime. I am recording sports videos and want to use the scroll bar so i can look for errors in technique.
I have downloaded dozens of fixes and none of them work.
I can watch the clips in any viewer except quicktime. I have used power director, VLC Player, Windows Media Player, power cinema, and nero but none of them do what i want them to.
I can change the file name. I have changed the name to avi, mpeg, mpg, and everytime i try to open it in quicktime i get the message (quictime will not open it because it is not a file quicktime understands) well what does it understand? I bought quicktime pro because that was supposed to work well it doesnt.
Please help

I am also having problems playing .mov files. My problem is that I just bought a Canon camera that shoots 720p video and when I save it to my computer and try to open it in quicktime, it plays but the picture hangs up. I have a Dell monitor that plays HD videos that i've downloaded from the internet all the time. The sound is fine but the picture lags and nothing i've tried seems to work. I have quicktime 7.6 and I want to know what I can get to make my computer play 720p files.Can you help please?

  • XDCAM-EX problem with .MOV files on Premiere CS6

    Hello!
    I've been working in a video project on Premiere CS5 with video files .MOV from a JVC camera and from a Sony XDCAM EX. I've installed the Premiere CS6 TRIAL. The project has been converted: I get to watch and edit the .MOV files from the JVC Cam, BUT I can't load the media .MOV from XDCAM EX, It says the codec is missing or unavailable... I got the same problem with some .DV files working before on CS5...
    I looked for the codec info and I found this one: MediaCoreQTCodecRulesCS6.xml
    It shouldn't be working?
    Why if all the files were working with Premiere CS5, They are not with Premiere CS6, being this one the latest version of the software? Is it due to be a trial version of the software?
    I would really appreciate your help on this issue!
    Have a good day!

    Officially you need FCP installed to work with XDCAM EX Movs. Are you on a mac or PC?
    However, this is an update for quicktime on macs that gives you the XDCAM EX codec:

    Not sure if there's an equivalent for PCs.

  • Problems with .mov file

    Hello All
    I need some help. Let me explain from the beginning. I recored some footage on HDV - transfered to my Macbook Pro and have no problem with that. Can open with QT and edit with FCP. I need to send part of the RAW footage to a friend of mine and he has only a PC with XP on it.
    I use XP with bootcamp on my MBP. When I try to open the raw footage on my XP with QT it wont open - all I see is a white screen with no video on it.
    What it happening and what should I do ? I need to open the .mov file and can not convert it another format because I am talking about 100gb on video, maybe more and its on several files.
    Please, any help will be appreciated

    The HDV codec will only play back on Macs with FCP installed. Even if you have another Mac, if FCP is not installed on it, that mac won't see the HDV .mov. The HDV codec that is used only comes with FCP.
    You cannot capture HDV on FCP for use on another editing system. If your friend with the PC needs to edit that footage, you will have to give them the tape.

  • Problem with .mov file type in premier elements 10 on windows 7

    My canaon power shot elph movie uses .mov (apple file) which I sent to PE10.  When I try to play it in PE10 only audio plays, there is no sink between audio and video.  If I move the marker under the vidio the vidio will follow the mark playing.  I am on window 7 pc.  Any ideas?  There is a audo vidil link in CLIP, but if is not hi-lited so I can activate it.  I want to do some editing and then burn a DVD to play on my TV.  Help!!!!

    There is an epidemic of display issues targeting specifically Premiere Elements 10 users whose computer use a NVIDIA video card. For now, the answer is to roll back the video card driver version rather than to assure that you have the latest video card driver installed on your computer. Please check out the following thread in this regard and determine if any this applies to your situation.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5836037
    Once we rule this factor out, we can move on to other troubleshooting schemes.
    What John T. Smith has asked is do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with your Premiere Elements 10. If you do, the latest version is 7.7.4. You should be able to find confirming information on that in Help Menu/About QuickTime in the opened QuickTime. That is not a codec number. It is the version number (latest version) for the QuickTime program on which Premiere Elements is very dependent.
    As for codec, in this case, the question being asked is what is the video compression in your file that has the .mov file extension. If you do not know and do not have access to a video properties reader (such as MediaInfo), perhaps we could get the needed information from the brand/model/settings information for the camera that was used to record the video.
    Please review. We will be watching for your progress.
    Thanks.

  • Problems with mov files in Wiki pages ?

    Hi ,
    we are running 10.5.8 Server and all of a sudden are mov files are no longer playing in our wiki pages .
    You can see them preview but when you click on them to play nothing happens and the thumbnail disappears.
    Tried repairing the permissions and making sure none of the files have moved but no luck ?
    Cheers

    I understand I need another codec but I don't have Final Cut and can't find one that works with iMovie '11. iTunes plays the audio but not video.  Do any of you experts have any suggestions?
    Basically, you have two options:
    1) Purchase FCE to get the codecs, or
    2) Have the data re-exported from the host system using a video codec which is natively compatible with your target system configuration.

  • Problem with .mov files exported from Quicktime working with iMovie

    Since iMovie won't input .mpg files, it has been my practice to use Quicktime Pro to convert the .mpg to a .mov file and then import the .mov file into iMovie. With Quicktime 10 (no longer a Pro version), when I follow this procedure I get a .mov file that iMovie refuses to import. Why is this?

    I am having the same issue. Just purchased QT7 Pro. Converted .3GP format to .mov and cannot open in iMovie. Have you found an answer?

  • Problems with .mov files in QT

    Hi, I have a puzzler. I'm on an iMac OS X 10.6.  I have a number of QT files that were burned to a DVD for me that my version (10.0) won't read.  When I used the Inspector in QT I learned they were recorded w/XDCAM EX (35 Mb/x VBR), 1920 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz.  I understand I need another codec but I don't have Final Cut and can't find one that works with iMovie '11. iTunes plays the audio but not video.  Do any of you experts have any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for your help. jh

  • Premiere Pro CS6 issues with .MOV files

    I am having problems with .MOV files from my Nikon 5100.
    They play very choppy.  Multicam REALLY has issues with the .MOV files as it will play ten frames and freeze.  Usually crashing Premiere altogether.
    Anyone know how to optimize my system to play these .MOV files so the can be worked with?  I've updated my videocard firmware and Quicktime.

    Anyone know how to optimize my system to play these .MOV files so the can be worked with?
    The logical steps would probably be:
    Get a better PC
    Don't use QuiRcktime but rename the .MOV file to .MPG
    Tune your system. Also for Win7: Adobe Forums: Guide for installing and tuning a Vista...

  • Video problem with movies that previously played okay

    I transfer movies on and off my Touch to open up space. I previously copied a dvd using toast Titanium 8 to my touch which played fine. I then deleted it to make space. When I tried to transfer the movie back to the Touch a few days later it wouldn't copy, giving me the message "the video is not the right format..." etc.
    Why would it copy over one time and not another.
    Any help would be appreciated. I seem to find this to be a recurring problem with some files, even though they have been converted to iPod compatible files with Toast, which are the .mp4 variety. Same thing has happened occasionaly with iSquint.
    Cheers

    Probably because the iTunes file has an embedded  Digital Rights Management certificate which prevents unauthorised publishing of copyright music to web sites such as Youtube.

  • Premiere Pro CC not playing fair with .mov files

    I have a CC account and use Premiere Pro on my PC with no issues so far except that the RAM and Graphics card suck. So I decided to run on my laptop running windows 8 rather than 7.
    AE runs with no issues (so far), but when I use Premiere Pro it does not like .mov files for some reason.
    I imported files from my iPad and it gives me this message:
    Error Message
    "The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams"
    To work around it for now, I converted the file into mp4 and imported to edit from there. Now issue is that we need to place a lower third. I have an AE project as the .mov file imports into that no problem, but when I then export as quicktime file for the alpha channel it still will not import into Premiere Pro, same error message.
    I can export as .avi but then the file screams 'MASSIVE' as it is over 1.5gb cpmpared to the 32mb as a .mov file.
    Bottom line, cannot get any .mov to import into PP on my laptop even though it works fine on my PC. Also, .mov files play fine in AE??
    Please HELP

    Hi MartinSalteruk,
    Thanks for contacting Adobe Forums,
    As I understood you are only getting issues with .mov files, Please check if you Quicktime player installed on the system.
    if not click here to download the Quicktime player

  • Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied

    I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
    There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
    I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
    Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.

    That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
    ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
    If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
    Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
    If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
    = Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
    = Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
    = Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
    Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
    If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything!

  • Problems importing .mov file

    I am all of a sudden having problems importing .mov files from my camera in iPhoto '08. Can't get them to import in Image Capture either...On the import preview screen, all that comes up are empty "boxes". If I highlight one of the boxes, it shows that it is .mov file, the size of the file, etc. but if i try to do the import, iPhoto just locks up.

    iPhoto does not like very large movie files for importing directly from the camera. If you get it on the desktop you should be able to import it. I've imported 200MB movies with no problem.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Problem with m3u files and Quicktime

    Hello:
    I have made one update with Quicktime software (version 7.6.9 1680.9). The problem is that Quicktime player reproduces mp3 files but when I try to play m3u files the sound is very bad. It sounds like gargling.
    For example: This files play ok:
    http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/Sarabande.mp3
    It plays ok when the previous link is introduced as URL address in Quicktime player, but the corresponding m3u files sounds like gargling
    http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/list0.m3u
    I think there a problem with m3u files and Quicktime.
    Tank you very much and best regards.

    I have discovered that when the URL is playing (with gargling sound) if I open the A/V controls in QT menus and I move the Jog Shuttle or the Speed level then the sound becomes good.
    Yes! Great catch, ttfrank. I can replicate that too.
    Interesting ... if (after getting the sound working properly again) you then pause play of the m3u, and start it again, you get the gargling/dalekish sound quality back again.
    Bug reporting ... there's a couple of ways you can go about doing this. You can use the QuickTime product feedback form:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
    ... but if you want to track progress on the bug, try instead registering as an Apple Developer (for free):
    http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/
    ... and then you'll be able to submit the bug via the Apple Bug Reporter:
    http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
    In the meantime, there's also a restricted forum available to level 4 and 5 members ("Notable New Technical Issues") where we can report this sort of thing. I'll try to get a post written up on the topic there later today.

  • Problem with .MOV

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having an issue with .mov files in After Effects. Here is my system:
    Windows 7 64 bits
    Sabertooth X58
    Intel i7 920 @2.67GHz
    Nvidia GTX 640
    12 GB Corsair DDR3
    Adobe CS6
    The problem: Some .MOV files I play in After Effect look corrupted:
    When I play them, it they make my computer bug until it freezes or shows a Bluescreen. But the files aren't corrupted as they play without problem on VLC (independant from Quicktime). The problem also happens in Premiere and even Quicktime (Quicktime version: 7.7.4 (1680.86)). I can work without problem with some .MOV so I checked the codec of the different files. "Apple PNG" and "Apple Photo JPEG" are making my system crashing. But I can play, work with or export "avc1" without any trouble.
    The other day I actually noticed a similar problem in Nuke. I worked with another .mov file (avc1) without any issue but once I tried to render it to a .MOV file (Apple PNG), the rendered files had the same kind of corrupted-looking (lines and sometimes green screen). When I export it in a normal png-sequence there was no problem.
    Already tried but didn't solve:
    - updating to last graphic drivers
    - reinstall Quicktime
    - reinstall an older version of Quicktime
    - updating DirectX (I already had last version)
    - try with or without CUDA in After Effects
    - try to load the .mov from another harddisk
    - set Quicktime to "Safe mode (gdi)" (doesn't help for After Effects)
    - try to convert the file to a png sequence in Quicktime (crashed after rendering a few frames)
    Has anyone an idea?
    Thanks in advance!

    #update 1:
    - Tried to convert a ".mp4" file to an ".mov Apple PNG". Then I convert it again to a ".mp4" with Wondershare Video Converter (the errors do not happen with that software). I can be play without problem on VLC that last ".mp4".
    - Tried to play an ".avi" file in Quicktime: system crash.
    - Tried to preview an ".mov Apple PNG" in half resolution in AE: system crash.
    - Tried to export a ".mov Apple PNG" to an ".AVI" and an ".mp4 H264": It exported but the files aren't playable in any soft (including VLC and Wondershare Video Converter). I did the same process to a ".mov Apple PNG", it freeze Windows.

    Today I tried to uninstall all Apple softwares, clean the register with CCleaner, delete Apple folders in Appdata (local, locallow, roaming), Flash the bios of my motherboard, reboot and then only reinstall the last version of Quicktime. And I tested all the advanced settings in Quicktime: safe mode (GDI), Directdraw acceleration, Direct3D acceleration. No result... I could play a "avc1 .mov" in Quicktime. That's all.
    Last month I formated and reinstalled Windows. Before formatting I had no problem with these files. I didn't change anything in the hardware. So there must be something missing/corrupt in some codecs used by Quicktime or the way Quicktime renders these codecs.
    I searched but couldn't get any result for a link to download a Windows version of ApplePNG codec...
    Is there anyone who has an idea because I'm really getting stuck..
