QT Player Launcher Thinks ONE Movie File Is An Audio ONLY File?

I have just been capturing some DV-PAL clips through my DAC-100 A/D Converter.
They all work perfectly in FCE but one of them, when opened in the latest QT Player has audio only. The player opens as a tiny audio player.
Yet if I open the file in QT Player 7 it works perfectly.
It seems like one of those one-off glitches that occasionally happens but I wondered if anyone had any other ideas about what made the clip dislike the latest player?
STOP PRESS! I have deleted the clips that I "thought" were OK so now I can't be absolutely sure they were!
All the clips I have just captured via the DAC-100 are playing audio only in the latest QT Player but perfectly OK in QT Player 7 and FCE.
So it is not a "one-off".

The plot thickens!
Actually, I've just noticed that it was FCP 6 I was using, though I wouldn't have thought it would have made any difference.
After further testing it appears that converted clips captured by FCE 4 work perfectly in QT Player 10, but those captured with FCP 6 playback only the audio . . . . . but work perfectly in QT Player 7.
Obviously there must be something different between FCE 4 and FCP 6.
It's no problem . . . . just weird.

  • One mov file plays in Media Viewer on Ext Hd Drv, imported into FCPX it plays 5 sec then goes black. No problem with other mov files.

    One mov file plays in Windows Media Viewer in Ext Hd Drv. Imported as Proxy Media into FCPX it plays in both Event and Time Line for 5 seconds, then goes black. No problem with many other mov files in same project. Tried converting this one file into MP4, but produced only pixellated jumble.

    Can you open the clip in the QuickTime player? What are the specs shown in the inspector?

  • How to export slideshow and soundtrack as one movie file

    This may be a bit naive...I created a keynote presentation, with a soundtrack. When I went to export it, I clicked "include audio," as well as "include soundtrack" (since i wasn't sure if audio also includes the soundtrack.) The result is 2 .mov files, one of which is the soundtrack. However, I need it to be only one file, so that I can upload it to a school video website that expects the file to have both the sound and the images in one file. Don't quite understand what I have done incorrectly. Thanks.

    I just discovered this myself.
    For some reason TWO files are exported. The manual says something like "If the slide show
    contains a sound track, two movie files are created. The file with suffix "soundtrack" contains audio
    only and can be deleted".
    But the other one does NOT contain any Audio.
    WHY, Apple? Are you listening? Lots of people experience HORRENDOUSLY bad results when exporting from Keynote. Sounds are not in sync - or when exporting to QuickTime: missing all together.
    What is the point in exporting a separate sound file and leaving the other one WITHOUT sound???
    Can someone at Apple please explain the reasoning behind this.
    Or even better - tell us how to actually get a working QuickTime export?
    Seriously - I didn't leave PowerPoint behind for this kind of non-functioning.
    Stop making silly software that doesn't work, and make tools that we can actually use to fill our needs.
    Or is it all about phones, these days?

  • JMF Player: Stepping through an .mov file

    I have an applet that plays an .mov file and I would like to step through the file one frame at a time on command. Does any body know how I could do so? I also need the ability to start at a certain frame and play from that location.
    Any Ideas????

  • Why does my iPad 2 think my iTunes U videos are audio-only?

    I downloaded some iTunes U videos via iTunes 10.5.2 and they play fine (as videos with full audio) in iTunes 10.5.2 on my MacOS 10.5.8 dual G5 PowerMac.  However, when I sync up my iPad2 running iOS 5.0.1 via USB cable with the above iTunes 10.5.2 containing the above iTunes U videos, the iPad2 somehow thinks they are just audio-only files and they show up in the Music app (double tapping them in the Music app just plays the audio part of the file without any video) instead of the Videos app (which I would expect to find them).  After all, when I sync up non-iTunes U movies to my iPad 2, it recognizes them as regular videos and they show up and play fine in the Videos app.  And since I can watch the videos on my PowerMac desktop, it's obvious that the video hasn't been somehow stripped out.  Is there a setting I can batch-set on all these iTunes U files in iTunes that will allow the iPad 2 to recognize them as videos instead of only audio?

    If you have the WiFi-only iPad (which does not have GPS) your location is determined by the mapped location of nearby WiFi routers.
    Without GPS location-finding is done by using a Apple location database which contains the MAC addresses of routers and their physical location. A MAC address is a unique number which is built-in to all network devices when manufactured.
    The Apple database is built and updated by Apple GPS-enabled devices (primarily iPhones) actually seeing routers and then adding/updating the router's locations into the database.
    Note to be used for location determination, a device does not need to be actually connected to a router, it just has to see the router. More precise location determination can be done if several nearby routers can be seen. When a router is moved from one location to another erroneous locations can sometimes be reported until the router's location is corrected in Apple's database. This may be the source of your problem.

  • One movie file can not respond in finder of MacBook Pro? How to stop it responding?

    In my MacBook Pro,Finder is not responding---others are working.Laptop becoming hot.How to solve it?

    My guess here is there is some issue with the use of Paragon NTFS. Perhaps updating it or using another NTFS driver (like Tuxera, or its free alternative NTFS-3G) will work. All in all, using NTFS in write mode with these options will be using a non-supported approach for accessing your drive, which could lead to odd problems if Apple makes a change that interferes with the functions of these drivers. At other times, such drivers use inherently less stable approaches (such as the FUSE environment) that could lead to problems if not formatted correctly.
    If your drive is working, and the formatting is checked out properly in Windows and other systems, then I'd suggest you check on your NTFS driver and update or replace it. Alternatively, if you only use the drive with your Mac, then consider formatting it to Apple's native Mac OS Extended. Lastly, if you use the drive with multiple operating systems, then consider using FAT32 or ExFAT as the format, as these are fully supported in OS X (unlike NTFS, which is only supported for reading).

  • Movie trailers/previews play audio only

    Hi,
    I have a "fully updated" Leopard 10.5.6 MacBook. The embedded move previews in the movie info pages don't work anymore... for some months. When I preview a movie it plays the sound but the video region does not repaint and it leaves the previous page graphics in the place where the video should be appearing - i.e. I can tell the audio is working and the video stream is just failing to be rendered where it should.
    Does anybody have any clues?
    (And no... I'm not looking at the wrong part of the page... I can see the rectangle where the video -should- be, containing parts of the previously displayed movie info page)
    I have an Intel mac mini fully updated on the same LAN, and it plays previews fine.

    Hey -- I found the cause (for me).
    If I have multiple monitors attached -- then this problem happens. With a single monitor, it works normally. Its 100% repeatable.
    I typically run macs with 3 or 4 monitors attached.
    Hope this helps you!

  • A mov file plays in 'Get Info' preview, but not in Quicktime

    I recorded a talk to web cam yesterday using Quicktime Pro and edited out the overlong pauses and fluffs to produce a series of .mov clips. Today I copied and pasted the clips into one .mov file in Quicktime Pro. The first 12 clips were fine.
    The 13th clip opened as if it was audio only, but when played did not give any sound. An examination of the movie properties window showed about 3 minutes of audio and video, but neither were selected and could not be selected. When I tried to extract the video thinking I could then reassemble the file, I got a message saying that one of my raw clips was missing. The file was saved as self-contained and is about 7 MBytes. When it opens with the appearance of an audio file the last part of the clip I pasted in is highlighted as if selected; this corresponds to the file it is asking for.
    Now I had deleted my raw data as my hard drive is nearly full and I was getting warnings to that effect. But as the files had been saved as self-contained rather than reference, this should surely not be a problem.
    The strange thing is that if I select the .mov file and do a 'get info' then I can play the audio and video perfectly in the 'get info' preview plan, up until that final part corresponding to the missing file.
    It looks like I have to do the last bit once more, but how can I keep the rest of it? I've tried deleting the final part and re-saving, but it still opens with the appearance of an audio file (which is silent when I play it). I can at least listen to what I said in the first recording, but it would be good to be able to keep the part that plays in 'get info'.
    Any ideas of how I can get to it?
    Any ideas.

    Solution found.
    I simply created a new .mov file and changed its name to the raw file that Quicktime told me was missing when I tried to open my edited clip.
    The edited clip now opens and I've been able to delete the final portion (which appears selected when the clip opens) and save the rest, which plays fine.
    This seems to have been a problem because in this particular clip I left the final portion I pasted in selected when I saved the file, even though I saved is as self-contained, not a reference file.

  • Exporting .mov files from iPhoto...

    My iPhone barely has free memory so I wanted to transfer my pictures and videos from my Camera Roll to iPhoto. Then, I tried exporting all those files to my external hard drive. After waiting for an hour, exporting was finished but I observed something weird: the size of the folder containing all of the photos and videos that were just exported was 16GB, while it is said in iTunes that those files should take up 21GB of memory. I tried to investigate why. Scrolling down, I noticed that nothing seemed to be wrong with all of the photos (.jpg). But, when I tried to play the videos (.mov), the QuickTime Player only displayed a black screen with no accompanying audio. I tried using VLC, but it wouldn't play anything as well. The duration of the videos were the same, though. So, my speculation is that the reason why the folder had a smaller size was that the videos imported from iPhoto weren't properly copied. Afterwards, I checked the file properties of one .mov file. To my surprise, the videos were working in the preview found in the lower portion of the properties tab. The size of one video was: 70,255 bytes (131 KB on disk). That kinda confused me because (even though I'm not a tech buff), I know that 70,255 bytes is not equal to 131 kb (unless you can prove otherwise). I also do not know what "on disk" exactly means --- maybe this is the reason why the folder says it has a size of 16 gb instead of 21 gb? I really do not know...
    OK, so I tried to give what I thought was helpful info so that I may receive a solution to my problem. If ever you need to ask for more information that may be necessary for you to answer my case, please do state what they are. I'll check on this question from time to time and I'll try to respond as immediately as possible. Thank you!

    Thanks for the questions TD!
    Mac Pro OS X 10.9.2
    Ipad is 7.0.6 and the videos are still on my Ipad and I can play them on the Ipad.  This is where they were originally created, on my Ipad, March 2013.
    Iphoto '09, version 8.1.2
    No, the videos do not play in Iphoto.  They have the camera icon on the lower left identifying them as a video and the seconds or minutes, as the as the case may be on the lower right, ex. 0:23, and also identified as a Quicktime movie with size information, ex. 480x640, 12.2 MB.
    Some of the videos were taken in portrait and some in landscape, same problem regardless of orientation.
    I have videos created before this date and after which play fine and also which exported with no problem.  Haven't tried all of them because I have a lot of videos but just a few to test. 
    I'm now wondering if I can simply delete the videos from Iphoto and reupload them from the Ipad since they are still on there and playing no problem.  Or has the software changed and is no longer directly responsive.
    I appreciate your time and any suggestions you may have for this particular problem.  

  • QT won't play .mov files any more

    What format are the videos that don't play.
    WMV...Windowa Mwdi Videos you'll need the flip4mac component. Free trail:

  • Imovie 09 fails to import h.264 .mov file 1280x528

    Hi,
    When I import a .mov file it seems to process but doesn't actually bring the video into imovie.
    Here's the file specs:
    .mov
    h.264, 1280x528 millions
    AAC, 2 channels 44100 Hz
    I've also tried with an mp4 (mpeg4 codec) and am mp4 (h.264 codec) of the same clip and none of them import successfully.
    They were all converted from a .mkv file using iFunia MKV converter.
    Thanks,

    Can You get one movie file onto DeskTop
    • select it - and press cmd+I [apple-key and I-key]
    or - better
    • open it with QuickTime-player
    (YES it can open many many more Video-Codecs than iMovie can use)
    - open Inspector - o press cmd+I [apple-key and I-key]
    Now read
    • Formatted as (Video-Codec) :
    • No. of Frames per second :
    could look like this (or about) :
    and my QuickTime-player (pro) can convert this to AIC if needed - or at least as StreamingDV as this is the best choice for me and my projects.

  • Capturing multiple video streams into a movie file

    I am using QTKit to capture 3 media streams simultaneously: audio, video, and display (display is screen capture), and would like to capture them in a time-synchronized fashion to a single .mov file.
    I have been able to successfully capture these three streams to 2 separate .mov files by using 2 QTCaptureSessions (one for audio/video, one for display video), but the problem here is that the 2 files are not time-synchronized (I have no idea how to synch them after the fact).
    The more intuitively correct thing to do is to use a single QTCaptureSession instance with 3 inputs (2 video inputs and one audio) to do the capture, which should automatically synch all the streams. Furthermore, since the .mov file can support an arbitary number of streams, I figured wiring up the QTCaptureSession to output to a single .mov file would be easy. I was wrong.
    The problem is that even though my QTCaptureSession has 3 nice input connections (2 video and 1 audio), when I wire up a QTCaptureMovieFileOutput to it, the resulting QTCaptureMovieFileOutput object has ONLY 2 connections: a single video and a single audio.
    Here is snippets of what I am doing:
    // add audio input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeAudio), succeeds
    [qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtAudioDevice] error:&qtError]
    // add video input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeVideo), succeeds
    [qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtVideoDevice] error:&qtError]
    // add display input: (type of media is QTMediaTypeVideo), succeeds
    [qtSession addInput:[QTCaptureDeviceInput deviceInputWithDevice: qtDisplayDevice] error:&qtError]
    // create file output
    QTCaptureMovieFileOutput * qtFile = [[QTCaptureMovieFileOutput alloc] init];
    [qtSession addOutput:qtFile error:&qtError];
    // PROBLEM: if I look at this array of connections, it has ONLY 2 connections
    // 1 video, 1 audio!!!
    NSArray *connections = [qtFile connections];
    // start capture running
    [qtSession startRunning];
    // wire up to my file
    [qtFileOutput recordToOutputFileURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:outputFileName]];
    I desperately need help....my questions:
    1. Since QTCaptureSession supports arbitary inputs, and QTMovie supports arbitrary # of streams, I can't believe it's not possible for me to simply "hook" all the inputs of QTCap to output connections that will write to streams in one movie file. Clearly, QTCaptureMovieFileOutput is not doing this...can anyone tell me how to do this? This can't be hard, right?
    2. If I have to fall back on the ridiculous approach of capturing 2 unsynchronized .mov files and somehow synching them after the fact, can anyone provide a pointer on how to do that?
    Thanks VERY much!

  • Quicktime video for .mov files on Windows 8.1 not working

    I am using the latest Quicktime (v7.7.5) on a new install of Windows 8.1 and .mov files will play but only the audio works - there is no video.  Clearly There is a video codec missing.  Can someone at apple tell me what I need so quicktime (and other applications) can play .mov videos on Windows 8.1?
    Thank you!!!

    Hey Kirk,  thank you for your reply. All my windows media players (Windows, Quicktime, Pinnacle Sudio, etc..all  only play the audio and not the video.  The quicktime player on Windows recogizes a problem and suggests that I goto this website (www.apple.com/quicktime/rescources/components......) and download missing somftware (but gives no indication of what is missing :-)).
    So the Windows Quicktime Player shows that the .mov file is made with the Apple Intermediate Codec, 1308 x 736, Millions 16 bit Integer (little Indidan), Sterdo(LR), 48kHz.   I also looked at the inspector in the Mac.
    This is clearly the issue. I suppose I can always use my Mac to convert files to something more compatible with windows and then move these files.  I just find it hard to believe that Apple does not have a windows 8.x version of this codec.
