Quick Time video import problem (MXPro, not 8)

I first posted this a few days ago, the help I received has
not been too useful, though, so I'm trying again.
I've got a flash file (.fla) whose purpose is to create a
playable movie slide to be used in another flash presentation. It
is a template, and inteded to take many different movies and
publish them as swfs for this other presentation.
I've done this successfully about ten times, by importing the
source movie (a quick time .mov) into my .fla file library, then
dragging the movie clip object that gets generated to the stage of
the .fla file. Finally, I publish the result as an swf and can use
it in the other presentation.
I just tried doing this with a new movie, about 3 minutes in
length, and it failed spectacularly. The movie file appears to be
imported, I am walked through the whole import wizard and a
progress bar shows the movie being imported, but once it is listed
in the library, it is apparent that it isn't actually a movie.
There is no preview playback button shown in the library preview
window, and publishing the file gives a movie that shows only the
first frame and doesn't play back.
I am using flash MXPro 2004, so flash 7, not flash 8. I've
been told I need to convert the .mov to a .flv, but that appears to
be a proceedure in flash 8, so it doesen't apply here. Does anyone
out there have an idea why this might be failing?
Extra info:
OS: Mac G5 OS 10.3.9
Movie: 15 fps .mov encoded with Sorenson Codec, duration 3-4
minutes
Flash: MXPro, flash 7, ActionScript used
Thanks,
C

Open in QT Pro, export using expert settings and pick H264. Or open in MPEG Streamclip (free) and export to MPEG-4 and pick one of the iPod or iTunes presests.
If you just open and save it you are contiually saving it with the same codec. You have to export it to change the codec.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date. The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did.
Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

I can not export Flash animations successfully as a Quick Time Video. Please Help...

Hello there,
I have been trying to both publish and export a Flash
animation from a native Flash file as a Quicktime .mov file. I am
using Flash 8 and have Quicktime 7.1.3 installed on my Mac running
OSX 10.4.8 - I get an error message every time I try to publish the
animation as Quicktime saying "An error occurred because a required
Quick Time component could not be found." My Quick Time program
works perfectly in all other programs. I tried it on another
computer and got the same error. I tried several different settings
and worked through the Flash Help Guide with no luck.
I also tried to do File / Export / Export Movie / Quick Time
Video. When I use this option it does successfully complete an
export but Quicktime file ".mov" has missing graphics and no sound
from the original Flash animation. Can you help me please. I need
to import this animation in a Keynote presentation ultimately.
Thank you.

Thanks Nickels55 - beat me to that ink :)
Also - try setting publish settings to flash player 5 - you
may lose some flash 8 features if you
are using any.
Personally - I find the best solution is SWF2Video
(www.flashants.com) but I am afraid there's no
Mac version (i think).
Usually Macs are better than PCs when it comes to export to
quicktime because you have the option of
choosing quicktime video - but make sure, if you are
exporting to a true video (fixed frame rate)
format you do not use movie clips or actionscript at all
(convert all movie clips to graphic or
place on main timeline).

Can I get Quick time video on iPad 2? Specifically, when I receive an email with quicktime on it, it will not play on the iPad.

Can I get Quick time video on iPad 2? Specifically, when I receive an email with quicktime on it, it will not play on the iPad.

Hello. I have AV player hd. When I touch and hold the Quicktime icon that is in a received mail message, a prompt comes up "Open in AVPlayerHD". I click on that and a black screen opens up with the following on it:
1--A red line at the top with a short white slider button on the right hand side. There is a time listed at each end of the red line that says 00:00
2--On the left hand side of the screen, near the middle, there are 4 icons, a colored 'x', a dialogue icon, a circular arrow and an 'i' in a circle.
3--On the right hand side there is a + and a - sign with '1.00x' in the middle of the two.
4--At the bottom of the black screen is a play icon plus forward and fast forward icons.
When I press the play icon it changes to a stop icon.
So, even though I have AV player I cannot play this Quicktime slideshow.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Quick time error "a file could not be found"

Quick time error "a file could not be found" when trying to open a file that exist in a directory name including hebrew characters.
When copying the same file to other directory with english characters only, file opens without any problem.
This is very frustrating since my files are located under My documents directory
The full path of the "My Document" directory is:
C:\Documents and Settings\אלון\My Documents.
Also, I have IPOD 5G (with video). iTunes does not have any problems with audio files located under the above directory, but video files for my IPOD have the same problem (since probably it is using Quick time). The problem with iTunes is more frustrating since it does not report any error, but you just cant update video podcasts or add video files to library.
I spent a few days to uderstand this.

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.

Help with quick time video on iphone

Received e-mail on iphone with quick time video.Will not play.Do I need to donload quick time on iphone or is there a app for that????

Import it into iTunes and create an iPhone version. In iTunes highlight the video, then Advanced>Create and iPod or iPhone Version. Sync this version to your phone.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11.

Quick time movies (.mov) files will not play in Iphoto 11. The thumbnail of the movie shows but when selected only a exclamation mark appears. I rebuilt the library, thumbnails, permissions etc. I also found the movie files in the iphoto database intact and working. Please advise.

You're welcome.
Well believe it or not, that's exactly what the exclamation point means. Search the forum. I've been doing this a while.
Next, I have no interest, commercial or otherwise in Library Manager, I have no shares in the company that makes it. I didn't make it. It's not my software. You could give those guys a million dollars and I'll get nothing from it. I and other expereinced users have recommended it thousands of times on this forum for this problem. Amazing how often it works. Of course, a quick search would have told you that already.
Another: Believe it or not you can use the Rebuild Function of Library Manager for free. You don't need to purchase it for that purpose.
Y'all have a nice paranoid day now.

Why can't I open a Quick time video (QTCON) on my Macbook 10.6.8?

Why can't I open a Quick time video (QTCON) on my Macbook 10.6.8? This should be straight forward right? But its not.

Quicktime X is a great little piece of software. However, Quicktime X is very finicky on which codec/file format it can decode/play.
Luckily, there are DOZENS of alternative video/media players and extensions available for the Mac. Some of them are even FREE. Some of the better FREE ones include...
PERIAN (quicktime extension)
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/22923/perian
QUICKTIME 7.6.6
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL923
VLC Media Player
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/5758/vlc-media-player
NICEPLAYER
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15136/niceplayer
... And if none of those work, there is a possibility that, that video file may be corrupted.

Using quick time videos (for web)

Hi guys,
In my project I am using quick time videos within director,
which work fine when it is published and play back in the
projector. However when I export for web, the videos don't play
back in the web browser. Is there something I am missing when
exporting?
Many thanks,
Rich

Yeah, I did upload them in their relative folder. They are
about 15MB each and 30 seconds long. I don't have a "dswmedia"
foler, what do I need to do with that? The error message I get
is...
"This application requires an Xtra (QuickTime) that either
does not exist or failed to initialize properly. Please make sure
the appropiate Xtras are in the Xtras folder"
Thanks!

Please help i have a Quick time video problems

I am currently working on a mac and have created an
application that displays video. The format im using is quick time
and i have imported the video into director and placed it on the
main stage. When i test the project on the mac it works fine but
when i test the published file on a pc the quicktime file does not
display. I have created the application the published it for
windows using a mac, i then insert the cd rom onto a pc and
everything works but the quictime movie. I orinally thought that it
may have been a quictime version problem on the pc but when i play
the quick time file on its own using a pc it plays fine its just
when its on a cd it doesnt show up. Does anyone have any
suggestions is it the way im publishing it or the file type eq dcr
dxr dir. the file im using is a dxr does this help?

Digital video files are not really imported into a Director
movie. They are only linked. You need to carry the original .mov
files with your Director movie on the CD.

Hi evereyone,

And when you do this, it should ask if you want to import the pictures that have already been imported. Select No.
Then, after you import, the photos should be deleted from the Camera Roll.
After the photos are imported and deleted from the Camera Roll, you can import using iTunes, only the photos you want on the iPhone.

New Macbook video import problem.

Hi all,
I have just gone and bought myself a new Macbook Pro and I am very pleased with it. From a video standpoint I plan to use it to import and edit HD video from my Canon HV20. The new Macbook only has a Firewire 800 port and so the cable that I would normally use to connect computer and camcorder will not work as it is 'mini' Firewire to Firewire 400. I am assuming that there is/will be a 'mini' to FW800 cable available, but in the interim I am using a Firewire hub that is connected to the Macbook by a 400-800 cable. And herein lies my problem ! Although iMovie8 detects my HV20, it will not display or play or import any footage from the tape ! It just remains on the blue import screen and although the camcorder is merrily 'playing', no footage is actually making it across to the computer. I think the issue is the Firewire hub part of the connection but I thought it best to garner an opinion from users of this forum. Help !!
Many thanks in advance, kroguk
PS
I will also post this on the Macbook forum, so apologies if you see this post twice

Well, I can't find my Belkin FW800-to-4-pin (9-pin-to-4-pin) cable right now ..I'm doing some "tidying up" ..which is always hopeless for finding things afterwards!.. but I DID buy the other day - in the German Mac specialists, erm, can't remember the name - a Sonnet Fast-something (..which I've just put down, and now can't find..) teeny 9-pin-to-6-pin adapter (..so small that I can't find it!..) and I've just tested that with a Sony HC1 HDV camcorder.
Using the Sonnet adaptor..
..which is mentioned on their website at top-left here: http://www.sonnettech.com/product/adapters/index.html ..on a normal 6-pin-to-4-pin FireWire cable.. I just connected my camcorder and successfully imported HDV from the Sony.
I tested it twice with iMovie HD 6, in the most adverse conditions: 1; connecting to the 9-pin FW800 socket on a G4 17" laptop (..which is generally too slow to import HDV in real-time..) and 2; looped ("daisy-chained") through the 9-pin FW800 sockets (..one socket from the drive to my Mac, the other socket from the drive to the camcorder..) of an external iOmega FireWire drive connected to my Quad G5 Mac, also with iMovie HD 6. Both imports worked perfectly.
I'm also trying it as I write this - I just found the adapter again! - to import into iMovie '08 on the G5, daisy-chained through the external disc (..the G4 is too old or underpowered to run iMovie '08..) and that works as well ..though I did have to "kick" the program into starting a new Event; at first the camera transport ran, but no video imported, so I just Stopped and re-imported.
I bought this adaptor "on spec", as no previous device or adapter had worked properly for me (..converting between 4-pin on a camcorder and 9-pin on a Mac..) and this is the first to have worked, for me. But I have great faith in Sonnet, as they make the extra S-ATA driver card and other bits and bobs which I put in my floorstander G5, and that all "just works".
Ah; the shop where I bought it is ..hold on a moment.. the "m store" in Munich. (Karsten may know them: when Gravis moved from Lindwurmstrasse to Im Tal, the m store opened up right next door to where Gravis had been before) and they're at Lindwurmstrasse 5a, their phone number - they speak English, too - is 0049 89 24 22 35 24 and their website is ..aaaarggh; they don't seem to have one.
Anyway; the Sonnet SimplyFast FireWire 400-to-800 Adapter works perfectly - for me - on the end of a normal 4-pin-to-6-pin FireWire 400 cable, and importing works flawlessly every way I've tried it ..even daisy-chained through an external drive.
I can heartily recommend it.
But - as always - "your mileage may vary" ..meaning that it might not work so smoothly for you.

DVD Backup iPhoto (video import problem)

I have backed-up all my iPhoto events to DVD's.
Now I have imported a DVD into iPhoto. I have all the events back but the video's have the wrong date and time. Also the events are not the same as the DVD.
Does anybody know what I had done wrong?
When I look to the photo's and video's on the DVD (in iPhoto) everything is alright, but not after import them.

This is the way I have done this:
Back up on DVD:
- Open iPhoto
- Insert blanco DVD
- Select "Events" (with Shift key more events)
- Share -> Burn
When the DVD is ready and I watch the picture's and video's in iPhoto there is now problem. The events, date and time is good.
Import DVD to iPhoto:
- Insert the DVD and open iPhoto
- Drag and Drop; not possible to import the video's. Message: Not possible to import, ... wrong structure (sorry, tranlated from Dutch)
OR
- Import to library; than the video's are imported, but the date and time is wrong.
