Quick time 7.6.6 stoled my file associations????????

it stole them blatantly stole them without asking me at all i went in to try and unchecked them and they are grayed out and will not let me do anything with them. this is unacceptable behavior of a program and i wish them to be back to my windows media player. i only installed itunes and quick time for ipod support. and that is all i use it for and it intrusively stoled my files associations. now how do i fix this apple people help me please.
thanks and happy Easter.

ran the installer clean up utility after contacting apple. it seamed to help this time it docent look as if it took them. but there are still some checked in apple software but i think these belong there. if you all no how to prevent this from happening in the feature please tell me thanks.

I'm recording video on JVC HD camera.Every 13:54 it starts a new file.I have one file that won't play.I get this message:Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens this one file.Ideas?

I can't open one Quick Time movie file. It says: Quick time player can't open (names file) because the movie's file format isn't recognized. Only happens on this one file. All the others of a two hour shoot are fine.
Any ideas what's happened and is there some way to open that file and retrieve what's on it?

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.

HT3775 Quick Time Player not opening a mpg file

I have inserted a disk (video) that someone made for me. Quick time player keeps telling me that the movie (mpg) file cannot be opened. Can anyone tell me what's wrong or what I need to do to?

There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs (there are at least four that I'm aware of, none of which have been ported to Mac OS X) or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
If you want to try "hit and miss", Perian, which rolls several codecs into one package, might work. If not, you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you. Do not install both Perian and the DiVX/3iVX codecs at the same time.
If you just want to play the movie any way you can, you can also give the aforementioned VLC Media Player a try.
Regards.

Export in Quick Time Pro gives Error -43: a file could not be found

Have been successfully exporting videos mades on my camera via Quick Time Pro for many months to convert for Apple TV. However in the last week the same routine process now causes an error on export. Error -43: a file could not be found.
I have tried uninstalling and re-installing QT Pro and no difference, have also tried different export formats and they all give the same error.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks

This is a old post from when I had recieved the Error-43 file could not be found. In my case I had a drive lettered F:\ F:\ when changing the drive to a single letter F:\ it resolved the problem, so something you might want to take a look at.

Quick Time 7 Pro not displaying .mov files

I just purchased Quick Time Pro to make movies that were transferred from my video camera in a .mov format. Prior to purchasing and installing I had an older version of Quick Time and I was able to view the movies with no problem. Now the screen is simply black but the audio is still playing. I downloaded a file to a thumb drive to double check on my lap top with an older version of Quick TIme and was able to view with no problem. What am I doing wrong with the new install?
Thank for you help.

The files are in MPEG-4 format. And they do play perfectly in player. However the dimensions are wrong for my Ipod Nano 3rd gen. The edges are cut off. I am under the impression that if I export the file from QT7P i will be able to convert the file type to fit the screen of the Ipod nano.

Quick Time Pro wont save edited 3GPP file

Hello All. I just bought Quick Time Pro, and I want to edit a video I took on my cell phone (just delete the last few seconds). I open the 3GPP file, set the in and out markers, and select Trim to Selection. Then I tried to save the file to my desktop both with its current name, and with a new name. I dont get any error when I click save, but there is no new file if I change the name, and the changes dont save if I leave the file name as it was.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Heya. I have a similar problem, about the first posted here. Let me explain: My brother has deleted quick time 2 weeks ago by mistake, and then I had to uninstall everything and reinstall. The problem is, I've done it 3 times already, but the iTunes doesn't work yet. It says that there's an error in quick time, then, when I try opening quick time, it says "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2093" and all those things about making sure if it's really instaled... and it is.
I also went to see the problem directly on the Quick Time Preferences, in its configuration... when I select "Audio", it says: "Buffer overrun detected!
Program: C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must be now terminated."
What can I do to solve this? I need some help here =(

I'm getting the same error. I'm trying to convert from .MOV to the ipod format. I upgraded to the latest Quick Time Pro, same problem.

Quick Time Player doesn't open WMV files with a double click.

After I download a WAV file and double click on the file; a message appears install "Quick Time Player must be installed to run this application;" however when I open Quick Time Player and select the file it plays with no issues. My question is why would I be getting this message after upgrading to Snow Leopard?

you do have QT player installed. you just need to associate wmv files with it. select a .wmv file in finder and enter command+i. in the popup go to the "open with" section set it to open with QT player and click "change all".

Quick time 'this is not a movie file' error message

PLEASE HELP!
i've recently downloaded some movies off the internet (.avi files) and although all have originally opened and played in quicktime, i am now getting 'this is not a movie file' error messages for all of them. I've had this before and restarting the computer has usually helped - but not this time. I've also tried reinstalling quicktime, as well as installing divx (i get an error message saying this file cannot be opened). for some reason i can't install VLC (some message about not being able to mount).
I've also burnt the files to a cd and tried playing from there (Rather than my external hard drive) but still won't work. The files won't even open up a preview... i really don't understand what could have happened though - i've opened and played all of them when i first downloaded them and they worked just fine!
i'd appreciate any help.
cheers

The fact that you cannot even mount one file or install another makes it sound more like an OS problem than a QT problem, though I guess in part some people deserve what they get with pirated movies through torrents. Have you repaired permissions?
The files you cannot even use that are not the videos in question indicate your problems lie elsewhere.

*error

hmmmm. not the most common of installation error messages.
let's make sure we've cleared away all remnants of the previous install of QuickTime.
Download and install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. then use it to clear any existing QuickTime installation configuration information from your PC:
Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility
Next, we’ll manually remove leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx.
7. Restart your computer.
does an install go through properly now?

After Quick Time update .mov files will not work in Premier pro.

I have windows 7 and the latest premiere pro. I uninstalled quick time still not working. Other files work fine however I work with a great deal of transparent background videos and now they will not work in Adobe apps. I have looked into solutions but cant find anything for windows. Please point me in the right direction.

If its not working roll back QT.

Unable to play my quick time files to other computers....

Dear folks,
I post again my problem. I have a quick time movie which I upload to a digital performer(music software)file, I write music based on the picture and then I bounce to quick time movie.
The new bounced file on my desktop is playing fine (by the way I have quick time 7.5.5. pro). I transfer it to my memory stick (travel drive) and I am trying to play the file to other computers but I get only sound, not video.
So my question is how come only audio is playing and not the video.
I am sure my codec is set to H.264 which is the most standard codec, right?
Please advise what to do.
P.S. I exported the bounced file as avi (using "file" and "export" from quick time menu and I was able to play it to other computers. The quality though is not as good as quick time movie.

I have the same problem: HD movie exported from Final Cut Pro as av QT movie will play beautifully on in the QT player on the dual Mac Pro it was created on, but when trying to play it on my flatscreen TV from a Mac mini, I get sound, but just a black screen.
Format is Apple HD 1080i/50, 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062) (no idea where these formats come from) FPS 25, nomal size and current size is 1920 x 1080. I have QT pro 7.5.5. and mpeg-2 plug-in on both macs.
I have also tried the h.264 codec with same result. MPEG-4 codec will show video with staccato perfomance and stops, even though it plays evenly on the Mac Pro. My .movs in ordinary 4:3 plays ok, so may be it’s a HD format problem?
Juging from other postings, there is a bug in the later QT versions, but why then is it fine on one mac and not others, with same version of QT. TV has nothing to do with it, because it plays quirky on other Mac minis also.
Someone from Apple should comment on all these problems.

I Killed Quick time (going to reinstall OSX and need ac3codec for mac)

Hi,
I killed my quick time. I have a video file I want to play (a project I'm working on with others.) anyway, it has 5.1 audio. The video plays, but no audio. I put the file on the XP and still no audio. I played it on Divx player. It says I'm missing Tag 8192.
So after a quick Google, i get ac3codec for the XP, install... and i get the audio on the XP with the video.
Off to find the codec for the mac...I found a file, i forget where i got it, placed it in the /libary/qucktime. and none of my .avi files will play any more, just a white screen. my .mov files seem to work fine. I remove the codec, and QT is still busted.
In reading the fourms here, it seems Quicktime is part of OSX, so there is no real, uninstall...reinstall thing, is that correct? Unless there is another suggestion, I plan on reinstalling OSX tonight. This should restore QT.
Also, is there a ac3codec type thing for the mac?

Ok, i'm getting really bent. I don't get how these played before and now they don't. I'm still not getting it to work.
Here is the movie format: XVID, 608 x 272, Unknown
I went here to get a codec: http://www.xvidmovies.com/mac/
i down loaded the codec for OSX
I end up with a file called: XVIDDelegate and i put in in the root of the HD\Libary\QuickTime.
Still does not play.
there is an instruction file.
"First you need DivX 5 (http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/). Then, if you are
on MacOS X, drop "XVIDDelegate.component" into /Library/QuickTime, or if
you are on MacOS 9, drop "XVIDDelegatePPC" into your Extensions folder
and restart."
So i go to dvix.com, and it seems i have to pay $20. I'm really confused, maybe its just frustration blinding me. Most of my avi files played, now they don't.
Thoughts?
