Quick Time Player stopped working & Export Controller stopped working

I'm not quite sure when my problem began, I downloaded video from my Canon sd980is camera to my computer, when I tried to view the videos I get the Quick Time Playerhas stopped working "A problem caused the program t stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available" and I also get Export Controller has Stopped Working. I have attempted to uninstall QuickTime but am not sure if that actually occured. Now, when I try to open QuickTime it says "Quicktime has stopped working. I am able to play music and video from my itunes. I just can't play my .MOV from my camera on computer. ANYONE able to assist??

I've got a few suspicions here, but I'll ask some questions before proceeding (to work out if I'm on the right track).
Was this the first time you had downloaded video from the camera to the PC? If so, did you have to install any Canon software in order to do that? If so, what was the name and version of the software?
When you tried to uninstall QuickTime, did you get a "fatal error" message?

In the external Quick Time Player the clips stop every few seconds. What to do?

In the last weeks I cannot play YouTube clips in the browser but only in the external Quick Time Player. But the clips stop every few seconds. What to do?

If YouTube videos are buffering in you browser, then it sounds more like a problem with your Internet speed.
If you contact your Internet Service Provider, they should be more than happy to help.

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.

Mac Mini Connected to TV Causes Blank Pauses every ten minutes

I hope someone can help with a small but frustrating issue I'm having.
I have a Mac Mini (2011) hooked up to a new 1080p television. The mini goes via HDMI straight to the TV, no adapters. The mini is also connected to a regular computer monitor simultaneously, set to mirror.
Until this week, I had an identical setup with an older, smaller hd television, where the mini was connected to the TV with an HDMI -> DVI adapter and also to the same second monitor. The TV was off most of the time, I only turned it on to watch a movie off my hard drive or whatever.
Here's the problem: When the new TV is OFF, every ten minutes or so with the monitor goes blank and resets, as if someone unplugged the HDMI connection and then plugged it back in the quickly. While this happens the Mac is frozen for about 5 seconds. I can reproduce the same effect by actually unplugging the HDMI wire. It is also the same pause that happens when I change the monitor and TV displays from mirroring to non-mirroring (side-by-side).
This only happens when the TV is off. If the TV is on, there is no issue.
I'd like to be able to sit at my desk using the monitor without the TV screen on, as I was able to do with my older television. I never had this problem with that TV over many months.
Is there any kind of setting change that might help?
I'm guessing the TV being off causes the HDMI connection to be occasionally lost and then the MAC resumes/redetects the TV, triggering the display to reset, but I think it is odd that this only happens after the thing has been off for ten minutes (and then repeats regularly). I've fiddled with the power options and energy saving settings on the TV, none of them seem to have any effect. Is there anything I can do on the Mac side? The only other option I can think of is to actually unplug the TV when I'm not using it, but that would get old fast.
Any advice would be appreciated. I've tried turning off mirroring, turning the TV off while not having the HDMI input active at that moment, and turning off all power saving options on the TV. I expect this is more a "tv problem" than a Mac problem, but it can't hurt to ask.

I couldnt get it to work even though I tried disconnecting an connecting the modules again. When I replaced the 4gb modules with the ones that came with the computer it started working perfectly.
Does this mean that one of the modules might be damaged? I am going to try connecting one of the factory ram and one of the ones I bought to see which is the one that doesn't work and see if I can replace it.
Thank you so much

Quick Time Player Confusion!

I am confused.
In SL, every time I right click a movie file, whatever the format, and select "open with" I get a drop down menu headed:
Quick Time Player Launcher (default).
What is this?
Below this are listed the other players I have installed (VLC, DivX, RealPlayer, iTunes) INCLUDING Quick Time Player 10.
Is Quick Time Player 10 different from Quick time Player Launcher? It has a different icon in the drop-down list, Quick Time Player 10 Launcher has the default icon. Quick Time Player 10 has an icon I chose for it to assist in my distinguishing between the two (or is it one?) application/s.
In my applications folder there is Quick Time Player 10, but no Quick Time Player Launcher.
And when I select Quick Time Player Launcher from said drop-down list..... Quick Time Player 10 launches!
But, and here's the really confusing part, ALL the movie players I have installed are listed in that drop-down list EXCEPT Quick Time Player 7.
Now, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer Quick Time Player 7.
However, if I want to open a movie using Quick Time Player 7 I have to go to the bottom of the drop-down list, select Other, and navigate through my Applications to reach it.
How do I add Quick Time Player 7 to my drop-down list?
Better still, how do I make Quick Time Player 7 my default movie player?
Cheers,
Martin

QT player launcher is an application helper sitting inside QT player 7 which launches QT player 10. you should not see it in the open with menu. it's a known bug that you do see it. but it should not affect the functionality. if it does then reset your launch services database. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.launchservices.plist and run the following terminal command
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
note that this will reset all default programs set to open various file types to the defaults so you might have to change some afterward.

are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
if the blue screen mentions a specific file, let us know what that is called too. (exact spelling, please.)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

IMovie and Quick time player

Hi,
I am a new Mac user. I had problems with QT and today I read that there are some codecs (like 3ivx) that can make problems for QT. I cleaned my Mac and now I can see my movies without problems using QT. But, working with iMovie, I can´t import the movies into event library as I did before.
Do someone know why? The movies are .avi but this was not a problem before...

I have find the reason for my problem. Trying to repair Quick Time Player I loaded some codecs. Those codecs did possible to see AVI movies in Imovie. When I deleted the codecs Imovie stopped to show the films. I did not know that Imovie do not support AVI files.
I spoke with mac support people and they told me that what I need is a convert program to change AVI into mp4 or mpeg4
So now the question is... do you know a good converter and where can I find it?
Also, what is the difference between mp4 and mpeg4?
I am sure that this is basic, but I have just begun with mac....8o§

Podcast stops every few minutes

Ever since the podcast app updated last night, my podcasts just stop every few minutes. I tried restarting the phone and playing different podcasts, but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

I installed Podcasts 2.1.1 one more time on my phone.
On my iPhone I went into Settings > Podcasts.
I turned on Sync Podcasts (actually left it on).
Set Refresh Every to Manually
Limit Episodes to Off
Download Episodes to Off
Delete Played Episodes to Off
Use Cellular data to Off
Everything is working as it is supposed to, and as an added bonus, the "Cellular data is truned off" warning seems to have disappeared.
It shouldn't be this difficult, but at least Apple seems to have produced an update that functions.

Quick time player - avi formats

my quick time player can't open avi formats of movies. even the new version quick time player 7 didn't help to solve it.

i recommend downloading VLC as this software can read just about every format there is... Quicktime is useless by comparison

Just bought a 13" mac book air. When streaming vidoes from amazon it stops every 10 minutes or so to download --I have high speed wireless internet. video streams fine on my older pc.

I just bought a 13" Mac air. Streaming videos from amazon.com stop to load every ten minutes. my wireless internet is fast and a good connection. same video runs fine on my older dell pc.

Entering the URL of an HD version of the movie into the URL line in Safari changes things but does not resolve the problem. Now I see the QuickTime "Q" after about 5 seconds, and shortly after that the QT logo fades and a large question mark appears over it. After that, nothing.

Quick time player for mac os x leopard 10.5.08

i have mac os x leopard 10.5.08, and my quick time player can't play the video files.

How do I change the settings in quick time player to screen record video using less hard drive space?

how do I change the settings in quick time player to use less hard drive space when performing a screen record? When I screen record a video lets say from vimeo, QTP seems to use a lot of hard drive space. Please help. Are there settings some where to adjust to slim down the video size? Thanks for your input.

I just did a short SR test, first I exported to 480p, then I saved the file. Now I have 2 files one 11.9mb (export) and the other 42.8mb (save). I then took the save file and performed an export on it to 480p. Guess what, it saved at 11.9mb. So it seemed to save me 3/4 of the space. Lets see what happens with a 17 minute SR. Thanks!
Any suggestions on getting the sound louder with the SR?
For anyone else ever seeing this post, for me the best was using an external speaker whether wired or bluetooth, facing the left side of the computer where the internal mic hole is. Good Luck!

Quick time player displays error

Quick time player does not want to play a movie that is in WMV format, Why is that?

Quick time player does not want to play a movie that is in WMV format, Why is that?There could be several reasons:
1) WMV is a proprietary format developed and owned but no longer supportrd for Mac by Microsoft. So do you have a QT component installed that is capable of playing these files? After all, it would be illegal for Apple to steal and then incorporate this technology into QT.
2) Even if you have an approved QT component installed, what particular codecs are involved here. Microsoft approved support for Mac has been relegated to Flip4Mac but is limited to version 9. If media contains advanced audio and/or video codecs from version 9.2, 10, or 11, then it will not play.
3) If you are the typle of individual who attempts to download and install codecs for every conceivable AVI, WMV, DivX, XviD, old MS, etc. conpression format, it is quite possible you will encounter conflicts in playback compatibility on a regular basis.
Generally speaking, if all you want is Windows, AVI, AC3 multichannel, MPEG, etc. compatible playback, try a different player like VLC

HT1338 After installing mountain lion, my macbook pro (2010ish) crashes every ten minutes. How can I fix this?

Title pretty much says it all. I installed Moutain Lion today and every ten minutes or so no matter what I'm doing my computer freezes up (iTunes always first) and then the entire computer freezes. What can I do to stop this?
I always have to hold down the power button to reboot, nothing else works to make it unfreeze.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
