Quick Time Plugins

I have an avi file. Quicktime plays only video no sound and it gives a message that I have to download a plugin that will play the file properly. There is a link that takes me to the apple site with bunch of plugins. How do I know which one to install?
I called quicktime support... no help.
Thanks.

Thanks, Captain Mench for your help. I recognized your name you helped me in the past a great deal.
I think I found the solution... before I go to the tape, which he erased by mistake (just talked to him on the phone).

Did not try it yet, but it might work.
You can even download and watch youtube videos in QT

How to turn off Quick time plugin in Firefox.

Be peace and happiness upon you!
Under Windows XP Home SP2, I recently updated to Firefox 2.0.0.4 and QuickTime 7 seems to crash Firefox 2.0.0.4 every time a flash is loaded into a page.
So I was wondering if there was a way to turn QuickTime off in Firefox 2.0.0.4.
I have observed that without flash installed, all goes well. But I do need Flash.
I will be using Safari and QuickTime together but for Firefox 2.0.0.4 I don't want QuickTime plugin installed.
In about:config there is a preference known as plugin.scan.Quicktime with value of five. Should I change the value and what to?
Thanks,
Fahad.

I'd like to do this too. That is, I'd like to see the "bars" but not the time since the time is messed up.
But I don't find "System Preferences -> Wi-Fi". However, I find "System Preferences -> Network" and in that I see a "Show Wi-Fi status in menu bar" that I can click on and off.
However, when I click it off, both the time connected and the "bars" are gone. I don't see any option to show one and not the other, it seems to be both or neither.
I also found that clicking on the time sometimes (and sometimes not) gives me a menu that seems to let me turn on and off the "time connected" part, but turning it off seems to have no affect.
What am I missing?
Thanks.

I have installed quick time plugin version 7.6.9 but I still unable to listen to the wav file playing on the pop up window.

I clicked on a prelisten icon on a music website to listen to a song (wav file). There is a pop up window but I cannot see the song is being played. I have installed quicktime plugin 7.6.9 and using firefox 4.0.1.
Please advise.

'''.wav''' is a Microsoft format and therefore configured to play with Windows Media Player by default.
Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Applications and check to see which player is configured to play .wav files at the moment. See [[Managing file types]]

Details on which plug-in and the message would be helpful. Quit Safari (or whatever browser you're using) and remove the offending plug-in from /Library/Internet Plug-ins/ or /Users/username/Library/Internet Plug-ins/. Relaunch the browser and see if the problem persists.

How do i get my iMac quick time player to play video formats such as avi, etc?

to whom it may concern,
how do i get my quicktime player on my imac to play avi, etc video formats? i downloaded an avi video, but i got the message, quick time does not support this format.

How do I play videos on my new mac that wont show in Quick Time? windows media player

I just got a new imca - switching from a pc. When I receive attachments etc that are not formatted for Quick Time, I can not open and play the video. IS there some other software that I need onmy new Mac that will allow this? Or is there some other configuration to the Mac's current configuration that I should be using?

First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:
http://www.real.com/realplayer/mac
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac/player

How do I uninstall firefox 4 and use the previous version. I do lots of work related tasks that require quick time to work and it doesn't with ff4.o.

Quick time crashes and I have lost almost all sounds/video sound capability with the new ff4.0. I want to remove it and replace it with the previous version until the bugs are fixed.

Maybe wait another day because Firefox 5.0 will be released on June 21 and maybe that version works better.
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
Make sure that you allow the plugin-container process in the firewall and other security software.
See also:
* [[No sound in Firefox]]
* [[Video or audio does not play]]
You can click the Volume icon on the Windows Taskbar near the clock and click the Mixer link at the bottom to open the mixer.<br />
You can adjust the volume level for each application in that window, so make sure that Firefox is not muted or set at a low level.<br />
You will only see the Firefox program in the Mixer if you are on a website that plays sound.<br />
Also check the volume setting for the plugin-container process.<br />

How to import mpg files & quick time question

Hello. I found some previous answers here and followed them, which brings me to now. I bought the QT 6 MPEG-2 PLAYBACK-MAC OS X-INT plug in to allow me to bring mpg files from my sony digital camcorder. I keep getting a message that 'this file is not a movie file'. I don't know how to tell if the MPEG-2 plug in is installed, how can I find out in Quick Time? I have Quick Time Pro.
What application would be best for me to start editing movies? I have IMovie 6.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks

Hi Trib and welcome to the forums!
Mpeg2 is the standard compressed final delivery format of a DVD, and is not intended for further editing.
You need to convert your mpeg2 files to a DV stream that you can edit in iMovie 6.
For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin which you have already installed.

Quick time will not operate in firefox. Can this be fixed?

trying to play audio files in firefox with quick time. They will not work, nor do the quicktime boxes show up.

Please make sure your QuickTime player is correctly installed and Firefox is ''not'' running in Safe Mode.
Then go to about:plugins and check for "QuickTime Plug-in". If you don't see that plugin, it means your QuickTime setup is broken or missing.
In this case we recommend you to uninstall QuickTime, download again latest Quicktime package from Apple website and try to install it again.
If the problem doesn't solve with that, you could check QuickTime Alternative, a free alternative to QuickTime which may solve your problem.
If nothing of above solved your problem, we need further information about the problem (whether a blank / black frame appears or not where QuickTime should load, a error message displays, Firefox doesn't detect QuickTime plugin...).

Quick Time Parsing Error 43

Using duo processor G5, storing video on newly Mac formatted 1TB drive. Imported the first tape from a Canon ZR850 camera with no problem into iMovie HD 6.03. Put in the 2nd tape with a new project name and now continually get an error "Quick Time couldn't parse it -43". I see other errors in the discussion but not this one. I tried removing the backup battery, disconnecting all cables and resetting time, date, etc., but no luck. I then tried to import it through a Canon GL2, but got same error. I tried several other tapes that work perfectly well in the camera but always get the same error. Went through 25 other tapes, so do not believe it is the tapes. Software is OSX 14.4.9 with 6.5 GB RAM. What am I doing wrong? Need help.

I did check for plugins but found none.
I used to use iMovie a few years ago an after spending several hours trying to now import the footage remembered that speed compatibility was crucial. My 1 TB drive that I was saving my videos to was running on Firewire 800 speed while my camera was running at Firewire 400 speed. I changed my 1TB drive to run at Firewire 400 speed, and "bingo", it now works.
Thank you however for your suggestions as now I will watch my extra plug-ins as well.

Quick Time Error message

I asked this question several months ago and got no answer so will try again.
It is weird, but when I try to watch a streaming video on the Apple web site or the Adobe site, I get a message saying that my Quicktime plugin in out of date. I am able to say play this time, but don't know why I am getting this message. I have both 7.6 and 10. What is going on?
Thanks
Judy

when I went to open would not saying there was a quick time error....not sure what to do.
What's the precise text of the error, please? (There's a few different ones I can think of that you might be getting.)

I Hate Quick Time!

I just upgraded to 7.5 ..... big mistake... three hours later and still not working! Quicktime will not play avi from my casio camera. I have read previous forms..... nothing works! Perian is installed and updated.... Please help! I feel myself turning to the Darkside (PC) Apple get your ish together. Every time I upgrade Quick Time I get screwed. MANY, MANY MANY HOURS looking through forms on the internet trying to find fixes. My powerbook has not been upgraded and works perfectly fine. Any help would be great. Thanks

These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, 3.1, 3.1.2, QT 7.3, 7.4.x and 7.5 and OS 10.4.11, and should also work with 10.5.4.
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 11 (which is no longer in beta) for Mac from:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/15540
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2
and then the latest version obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct versions for your Mac of Security Updates up to and including 2008-005. (N.B. Security Updates require both a restart and a permission repair.)
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
There is an additional 'fix' you could try if you are having problems with Flash and Quicktime, depending on which type of Mac you have:
On Intel Macs, make sure that you are not running Safari in Rosetta. You can check this, and change it, in the Get Info window.
On PPC Macs, go to the Hard Disk/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, and drag the file 'QuickTime Plugin.webplugin' to the desktop. Quit and restart Safari. If things have improved you can trash that file. If they haven't put it back, as the lack of this plug-in can cause QT content in some widgets to cease functioning.
And now there is an additional kid on the block: SilverLight. Microsoft has created their own version of what a replacement for Flash should be. You can read more about it here:
http://silverlight.net/
So, if you go to any sites that have been designed for this new Silverlight stuff, you can download the plug-in from here (but make certain that you are downloading SilverLight v.1.0 for OS X (10.4.8 upwards):
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
