Quick time only plays 3 secs of my video
i downloaded a video and quickime only plays 3 sec of it
I too have video non-play problems ALL the time with video downloads. Sound is fine. The video starts and stops, but the sound continues on fine.
I'm wondering if it's a codec thing as I can download these non working .avi files to my Treo 650 palm phone and they play without problem.

Quick time only plays audio.
HI!
Well i have a problem.
When ever i try and watch a quick time thing like the movies they have on apple.comI am having the same problem while using Safari. If I go to a video, like an apple quicktime trailer, the video starts loading, the audio will start to play, but no picture.
I have found an annoying way to watch these movies. First I let the video fully load, then I click back one page, then forward one page. The video is loaded into the computer's cache memory, and it will play. If the video has to load again, it won't play the video, only audio. In Quicktime Preferences, in the Browser tab, the 'save movies in disk cache' must be clicked, and there needs to be enough memory for the movie, or else it will load again and not display the video.
It happens in Safari, but not in Firefox.
In Firefox I have a different problem - when I view text or an image that changes, like the hotnews headline on Apple's homepage, or the changing movie ad on the top box of Apple's trailer homepage, it looks strange with pink, green and other colors flashing.
I am using QT 7.2.0, flipformac 2.1.2.72, Safari 2.0.4 and Firefox 2.0.0.6.
I didn't have this problem before. I think it started after I updated Quicktime to 7.2.0. -
HT3775 Why can Quick Tim player play AVI format from cameo video camera?
Here is the message I get when I try to open the file.
The file could not be open, a required Codec isn't avaible.
PeterThe only problem with that link is that it is a bit of an infomercial. It is good for solutions #1 and #2, but solution #3 is somebody trying to sell your something. Install Perian (free). Install MPEGStreamclip (free). Convert for free. I am sure there are many other free converters.

Explorer starts using Quick Time to play clips "out of the blue" .
When I switched to Safari several years ago I noticed that Explorer did a better job at playing back movie clips so I kept using Explorer for only that purpose and Safari for everything else .
Yesterday all-of-sudden Explorer started using Quick Time to play clips that last week the Explorer player(?) used . Everything had been reset to use Quick Time .
I used finder to see if anything had been modified in Explorer in the last day and found a WAFF cache that was modified at the time of the switch . What is a WAFF cache ?
I put it in the trash and it seems to have fixed it . The clips play in the old manner (sizeable windows) . And everything else seems to still be working .
Does anybody know how and why this happened ?
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) Explorer 5.2.2 Quick Time 7.0.3You'll find the browser settings in the Sys Prefs/QuickTime/Browser. You'll find "helpers" in the Internet Explorer preferences.
What are "helpers"?
I hadn't realized that Explorer used QTime. So I used finder to to tell me what happens when I download and for each clip it downloads a ;
1) Movie_0000.. IETemp Quick Time Movie 10MB
2)Orig_)0000.. IETemp MPEG Movie 3.4MB
and sometimes but I don't know if always a ;
3)IE Cache.waf 10MB WAFF file .
still wondering how the settings were changed and if the IE Cache wa involved ?

How do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc?
how do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc, one after another?
Having just looked at the website, I agree its sparse in information.
I have used VLC for 7 years when I bought my last Mac.
Its my default video player and plays 95% of what i throw at it. It plays large HD files smoother and more reliable than any other player.
Yes It will play QT and yes it has a useful playlist feature.
Look at the feature page: VLC Player -
I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get. anybody?
I also had issues opening AVCHD files on case-sensitive filesystems.
You can try these steps to solve the issue:
Right click on the AVCHD file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Right click on the BDMV file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Rename index.bdm to INDEX.BDM (it seems that all files in the BDMV folder should be in UPPERCASE for Quicktime to open the AVCHD file).
Go back twice and try again to double-click on the AVCHD file (Quicktime should open a window showing the multiple clips, as expected). -
How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?
How can we make quick time player play all formats like AVI, MKV, MPEG etc?
QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all. In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.
The following may be helpful:
Perian
QuickTime: About Playing AVI Files
QuickTime X: Playback of MPEG2 video
QuickTime 7.6.6 (you may need this if QT X won't play old videos)
QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component (for QT 7.x)
Windows Media Components for QuickTime

I recently upgraded my IPAD to the ios5 and now my already downloaded music videos only play the music and no video plays. any suggestions?
When you say that the orientation lock doesn't work, we have no way of knowing if that means that the screen is locked in one position only, or that it will not lock in one position only. So try something g very basi and reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
In the camera app, you have to swipe up and down on the screen to move between photo, video and the square photo mode options, so are you even in the correct mode to take videos? -
Quick time files play on my computer but in other computers only audio...
Dear Forum.
I have quick time pro.
I am a composer so I upload a movie (mov. file) to my digital performer file...I write music, I bounce the music with the picture to Quick time movie and I have a mov. file.
The exported file plays fine on my computer but in other computers only audio is showing, not video...
I tried many other (pc and macs)
Please tell me what the problem is. Does it have to do with my settings?
Please advise.
ThanksI am a composer so I upload a movie (mov. file) to my digital performer file...I write music, I bounce the music with the picture to Quick time movie and I have a mov. file.
The MOV file extension refers to the file container and not to the compression format contained within the file. To better understand what is goin on here, you will need to open you file in QT and check the "Inspector" or "Properties" window to see what video compression codec was actually used in the file and them determine if these other systems also have this codec available for playback. -
10.5.2 iTunes on Windows 7 x64 bit laptop - Quick Time will play videos but not iTunes
I'm hoping you can help, I've looked for a solution to this for a while now.
I store my itunes library on an external hard drive. I completed a clean install of x64 bit Windows 7 on my laptop - all went perfectly. Downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of 10.5.2 iTunes and located my library...the music plays fine but no videos. I opened iTunes in safe mode and it said that I needed the up to date version of Quick Time. Downloaded and installed that...no problems. Now my vidoes will play in the Quick Player but still not in iTunes! They apprear in the "Now Playing" pane but the timer doesn't move - even after pressing pause and play. Can anyone help me please? Do I need to open iTunes in 32 bit mode? If so, how do I do that in Windows 7? i can only find solutions for Mac's....
Thanks in advanceI should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

TS3297 Purchased album & some songs only play 30 secs
I purchased an album and ceratin songs only plays 15-30 seconds through before the track skips onto the next one (even though the song is over 2 minutes long). I've checked the songs "info" and made sure that the stop and start time was not selected, which they are not. Has anyone else had this issue?
This is the first time I have encountered this issue, but it definately got me reconsidering purchasing music from iTunes again if this issue can't be resolved.Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -
Can anyone help me fix my itunes? I have the new version of quick time but it is now telling me it wont play my films on itunes because it needs quicktime. Iv tried un installing quicktime and re installing it but that hasnt worked. I dont know why it would suddenly stop working, I watched something on it this morning.
Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
Quit iTunes first.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit Windows, open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?
