Quick time 2 play DVD

Hello, I've downloaded quick time 4 times now and cannot get one that runs on iMac purchased 9/08. Error message when I try to play a DVD says I need another component and I get this page of other down loads that don't seem to apply to me. The DVD was burned on a PC. It plays fine on my daughter's iMac which is a year older using quick time. Any suggestions? Thanks. (The purchased DVD's play just fine on my iMac.)

The older iMac computer plays burned DVD's with the free downloaded Quick time, dame version I downloaded. (The applications folder program plays the purchased DVD's just fine, it won't play the burned ones.) I'd like my new iMac to also play burned DVD's some way.

  • HT204382 What do I need to down load to make Quick Time play different types of files, like mPeg etc?

    I'm new to this site and to my REfurbished 13" Mac Book Pro. I really love this note book! IO wish I had gotten the REtina Display now. I passed on it because It didn't have a lot of storage space. But what was I thinking....I don't want to fill this note book with hundreds of Albums and load my nearly 5000 photos onto it. I wouldn't want to slow it down by having to wait for it to load all the data everytime I turned it on.
    I tried to down load a file from a trusted friend, the Quick Time Player icon appeared in the Dock when I opened the down loadopened. Along with it, a message of sorts came up saying I need to download something else to make this file open/play. Any idea what I should get to make the Quick Time Player able to play more different types of files/clips?
    I'm just not so computer savy......like most of you.
    So, LOL.....could you please talk in simple language if you respond to me question?
    Thank You all,
    mike

    You could download VLC - it plays numerous formats:

  • Quick Time Play on Windows

    I created a Mov file for my client using FCP and exporting as self contain mov file DV codec 720x480. Unfortunately he can not see the video, only the sound on his P4 windows machine. I tried all the Windows, Microsoft discussion boards... no answer. I am trying Apple, because of it's high level friendly support.
    Thanks.

    I forgot to mention that he played my Mov files last year with no problem. It started 2 weeks ago. We went to Apple site and we saw the trailers with np problem, but as soon as we download that quick time to the desk top... that's it. It plays the sound and on the screen rainbow lines.
    We did instal the VLC player which does play my file. But that is not the solution I am looking for.
    Thanks,

  • Quick Time Play Back

    I downloaded my camera videos on to my laptop using Quicktime and subsequently burned it on to dvd. I can play my dvd back on my lap top with no problem ata all. However my dvd player does not allow this. Can you help me resolve this so that I can playback using my dvd player

    Unless you used some third-party software to create a standard video DVD, then what you created is a computer data disk which few DVD players can handle. You'll need software that can create videos DVDs.

    ime plays them with audio, however the screen is black. What is the fix?

    Experimental advice (in this particular context) coming up.
    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.

  • Quick Time Plays Only Sound... No Video

    This problem only exists on ONE of my XP machines. For some unknown reason, QT will only play sound and not the video from a website. I tested this at Apples website where all video should stream using the QT Player.
    Did not work with Safari or Firefox. I hear the sound but no video from all the Apple tutorials for example..
    Furthermore, when I click to watch the most recent Keynote, QT tries to open but states that "unsupported media type". Of course, I'm like ***, Quicktime can't play an Apple Video! Something is wrong.
    ANY help would be appreciated. I'm quite capable with computers, both Mac and XP, but this one has me baffled....Yes, I reinstalled QT 7.6...Thank you.

    The first thing I noticed was that you used Microsoft Word to make your Web page code. Bad choice and sloppy code.
    Your movies do not "stream" (they download) so the extra hint tracks are a waste of bandwidth and are not needed in the movies.
    You are linking directly to the .mov files (also bad). Many computers (PC's) will simply try and download the files. Each movie link should be in it's own html coded page and should have the proper object and embed tags or the QuickTime plug-in may not work. Internet Explorer requires these tags to turn on ActiveX. Many PC users will never be able to see your movies without them.
    Last is the fact that you've used the H.264 video codec in the files. This codec requires the viewer to have QuickTime 7 or the Windows Public Preview 3 installed on their computers. This leaves out Windows 95, 98, ME and Mac users running anything under 10.3.9.
    Sorry for all the negative news. This is how most of us learned, too.

  • Quick Time PRO + DVD camcorder

    I have a Sony DVD camcorder which recordes in MPEG2 format. Provided editing software is very basic and output is not compatible with my I-Pod Video. Considering QT7 PRO, but unsure if I also need to purchase QT MPEG2 Playback - Wimdows?

    The MPEG-2 Playback Component will be required to view your DVD files using QuickTime Player.
    It will not export audio from this format.
    You'll need the help of third party software (hundreds of options) to rip your DVD formats to either edit in QuickTime Pro or export to the iPod settings,

  • ITunes 11.4 won't play mp3 files but quick time plays them

    I have a huge collection of music files from the nokia store which I got for free (an offer for lumias). When tried to import the music, Itunes refused to import some of the files. They are all mp3 formatted and QuickTime plays them. It tried converting the files with VLC and some of them were imported but the rest won't convert. Can someone tell me why the files won't import and how to import them? Also, can someone tell me how to get iTunes to automatically get the aong info?

    Yes, you can change the extension sometimes and it may be enough to make something playable.  WAV can hold various codecs including mp3 encoded material (http://www.nch.com.au/acm/) and changing the extension to a wav that has mp3 in it may be enough to trick applications into reading the mp3 inside.  Of course if it isn't mp3 inside then changing the extension won't work. 
    I use a utility for a specific task but it produces only .mov from mp3 format material.  It is mp3 codec material in a .mov wrapper.  Now as far as I know there aren't any tools which will repackage mp3 codec in .mov to .mp3 without completely recoding the audio which is highly undesirable.  If I rename the .mov to .mp3 my lossless mp3 editing tool will accept it, though sometimes it needs additional laundering to get it to work smoothly.  The end result is a clean .mp3 produced without loss but it does involve tricking the editor into thinking it is working with a pure .mp3.

  • Quick Time Video Plays Only Fluttering Green and Pink Boxes

    My earlier version of Quick Time ran just fine on my Windows XP Sony Vaio. When I upgraded to the new version of I-Tunes and the new version of Quick Time, my movies suddenly played a video image in a jumbled up series of pink and green rectangles. Audio plays okay. I'm told I have the proper codecs for these files. I uninstalled, downloaded the software again, and reinstalled. This didn't solve it. New downloads from i-Tunes and even the sample movie that came with Quick Time play back this way. Is there someone I can call? Help!

    The problem with Quick Time not to view Video because of DirectX. Try to disable it. Open the Quick Time player on the menu bar click on Edit, down to Preferences then Quick Time Preferences. When you get the Quick Time Preferences window click on ADVANCE then under Video de-select DirectX and select Safe mode (GDI only) that should solve your problems. Good luck.

  • MPEG MPG file formats & quick time player

    hi
    i am new to macbook n my Q is about the MPEG & MPG file formats every time i try to play them using quick time i just have a msg telling me that i cant do so and that quick time played cant open the file. so is there any other program that i can use for mac that can play suck files ??

    Try installing flip4mac for QT. If that doesn't help you can use VLC. It is a nice program.

    Perian 1.2.3 *should* work for both QuickTime & and QTX in Mountain Lion. Regardless of the filetype container, whether it is a Matroska (.mkv) or a .mov. As to the actual encoding of the file (h264, .mp2, whatever..) I have found most play, even older formats.
    Even though it's no longer supported and is a dead project, it works just fine. It will load as a System Preference file and adds to the Other category in them.
    I think in 10.8 you've still got support for QTX so it may work with that. (in Mavericks, it only works for QT7)
    If not, just run QuickTime 7.6.6.

    I have used still photos to make a Quick Time movie using FCE.  The DVD made using i-DVD looks somewhat grainy and the motion isn’t smooth when played on my TV.  Other DVD’s I have made play much better and I am wondering if the problem is my Quick Time movie settings.  The Dimensions and size of the problem movie are 1920X1080 and 584 MB respectively, while the movies that play better  have Dimensions of 853X480 and are about 1.3 GB in size.  Is this the source of my problem and how do I change things for the better. 

    Are you exporting to QuickTime Movie, or to QuickTime Conversion?   For iDVD, you need to export to QuickTime Movie.   Exporting to QT Conversion will kill the quality if you are moving the video from FCE to iDVD.
    The file size per se makes no difference.
    What size (pixel dimensions) are the photos that you put into your 1920x1080 sequence?  Also, exactly what are the sequence properties ... is it 1920x1080i60 ... or i50?  In North America it should be i60.
    853X480 is an odd frame size.  Where are you seeing this number?  It would appear to be DV-NTSC, which has a frame size of 720x480.  Your 1920x1080 frame size would not be DV-NTSC, it would be Apple Intermediate Codec.   DV and AIC will look different, for sure.
    Also, your quality setting in iDVD can affect the final video.  You may want to check that also (in iDVD Preferences > Projects).  Set it to Professional Quality if at all possible.

  • I made a slideshow in iphoto and downloaded it to a flashdrive and also to my desktop and to Quick Time Player. I burned it to a DVD. What do I need to do to get it to play on a PC?

    I made a slideshow in iphoto and downloaded it to a flashdrive and also exported it to my desktop and to Quick Time Player. Then I burned it to a DVD. It will not play on a PC. What can I do to get it to play on a PC?

    Install Quicktime on the PC.
    Or, you can use iDVD to create a standard DVD.

  • I don't have idvd but i need to burn my movie from iMovie! what do i do? i have dvds but every time i try to use one, the sound is off and it doesn't work on quick time or adobe... help!!

    i have made a movie in imovie on my macbook pro, but apparently i don't have idvd!!!

    Hi
    There are two structures of DVDs
    • Data-DVD - as burned from DeskTop/Finder
    • Video-DVD - to be played on a DVD-Player - Needs a program that can do this
    One can in iMovie - Export as QuickTime .mov and save this via DeskTop/Finder onto a DVD - BUT this will only play on a Computer and if it is a Window-PC this needs to download QT-player or VLC-player.
    But no DVD-player for TV can play back this.
    To get a Video-DVD then You need
    • iDVD (not from Apple any more) - or -
    • DVD Studio Pro (not from Apple any more) - or -
    • FinalCut Pro-X (can do simple Video-DVDs) - or -
    • Burn - http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html - FREE - but very PLAIN - no fancy things at all.
    • Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro - Fairly advanced - and costs a bit - still very Good and lot's of great tool's included. (I love it) - Can also back convert home made DVDs to an editable mode in an OK quality. With BD-component also capable to do sort of Blu-Ray DVDs.
    Yours Bengt W
