Quick time videofile hacking

Hi
When I put my video fil in imovie or try to play it in Quick Time it hack. When I play it in VLC there is no problem.
I have a brand new Macbook Air and a 1/2 year old iMac, and the problem is at both machines?

Try installing Perian. AVI is a container, not a format, and no single component can open all AVIs.

  • Quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close

    Hello,
    I am getting this message and it is driving me bonkers!
    "quick time Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience".
    Am running XP. Have uninstalled all Apple programs (QT, iTunes, update, bonjour, etc and in the order Apple recommends.) I re-installed QuickTime again.
    Same Problem.
    Went to the control panel and launched the quicktime control panel.
    QuickTime Preferences comes up. If i choose the "files type" tab this error comes up in a window:
    RUNDLL
    An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
    Clicking on this just closes the window.
    Some one on another post mentioned something about another codex takinhg the place of an original. How do I find if this is causing it if only to shut down that avenue of conceren?
    This has taken up SOOO much time I can't tell you and I can't use my iPhone or iTouch until I get it sorted.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Good work, craigeed. That's enough information (of precisely the right type) to suggest that you don't have a codec pack issue. If you had a codec pack problem, usually you'd get a rundll error if you just tried to open the control panel (and you're getting further in than that). Also, the rundll error for a codec pack problem would indicate that your QuickTime.cpl is lurking in the wrong place (down in the \system32\ directory). Your message is showing that your QuickTime.cpl is in precisely the correct location.
    So we'd better start checking on some other possibilities.
    The "QuickTime has encountered an error" message is pretty generic, but on at least some versions of QuickTime 7.x it has suggested malware problems. So we'd better try getting that off the table.
    Download fresh definitions and run vigorous virus and antispyware scans. If your security software providers offer them, try backing that up with an online virus scan. (That can sometimes pick up an infection even if the security software on the PC has been compromised.)
    Do the scans show up any problems? If so, does fixing them help with the QuickTime error?

  • My speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    my speaker doesn't work when I try to listen to music or open up a quick time file, however they seem to work perfectly when I listen to a voice memo (p.s. the volume slider disappears in a song page and even in the multi tasking bar)

    Thanks for your solution, it wasn't quite what solved the problem but i remembered that i had a bit of salt water on my phone recently and spraying the charging port with an anti-oxide spray solved my problem, do you mind if i ask, how is the charging port related with the volume or/and speakers?

  • I just bought a new MacBook Pro Quick Time 7 icon but how do I get it to work? Do I need to purchase an additional update?

    I just bought a new mac book pro. It has Quick time 7 icon on it but how do I make it work? I am a student and have a quick time video I need to play but the video won't play. Do I need to purchase an update on Apple?

    It has a question mark inside the quick time logo everytime I click on it
    If you mean you are trying to play a file and the QT icon with a quesion mark appears in the display area, then this means the play has reached a programming disjunction and doesn know what to do—i.e., the player recognizes the content but something is preventing proper playback is telling the user it has a question as to how the content is to be played. In such cases you normally have to determine what content, what file container, and which player version is involved before you can decide how to best fix the problem.

  • Not able to watch .mp4 videos in Quick Time Player

    Hi,
    I have a GOPro camera where the videos are currently stored on an external hard drive. I wanted to import those videos to iPhoto, which didn't work. Then I tried importing them without using iPhoto, but when trying to watch them I get a message saying that "Quick Time Player is not able to open the video.
    I find this very strange, as I already have some GoPro videos in IPhoto, which I can view just fine (in iPhoto, and outside of iPhoto). The videos are shot using the same camera.
    Also; Quick Time Player is supposed to support mp4. format; so I really don't see where I did go wrong?

    What format is used on the external drive?
    I suspect it's the reason the files can't be played.

  • How to open videos in Quick Time Player form my website

    Hi guys and girls,
    I hope everyone is good. I was surching this forums for a while trying to find the answer. I didn't find a complete so I thought I'd post a question and hope someone could give me a complete step-by-step guide.
    Here is what I'm trying to do.
    Here is my site (one of them)
    http://web.mac.com/yuriyork/iWeb/720Neighbourhoodcircle/Welcome.html
    if you go to video page you will see a QT movie loads and if you click play it starts to play. What I want is to make it play movie automatically once the page is open. I'd like to make this page the same way apple has done their video adds here http://www.apple.com/iphone/ads/ad2/ You have a button for small, medium large and HD formates and they all open in the same window. How did they do it?
    Also, how can I make a movie open in new quick time player window outside of the safari browser.
    Thank you in advance for all of your help with this.
    Sincerely,
    Yuri

    do you know HTML? if you really do not know some important basics, then i suggest you forget this!
    secondly, if you want to offer people a small, medium ,etc., version of your movie, that is gonna take up lots of space! you might just offer one version. 90% of the people watch only the large version.
    if you do want to really really integrate this - then i guess you will have to use frames - or some kind of script (someone correct me if im wrong).

  • Problem with quick time player or is it normal ?

    Hello, I want to know why, since the transition to OS X Mavericks I need to convert all videos to AVI format instead of being able to look directly as before with OS X Mountain Lion I converted the Quick Time MOV format which takes up much more space on the HDD I have another drive where I can read directly, but I want to know why I need to convert with QuickTime
    Thanks

    To answer your topic title question, if QT X v10.3 is converting your files to AVI, then that would not be normal. In most cases it is the other way around. That is, QT X v10.3 converts most forms of AVI content to QT compatible compression formats in MOV file containers. While QT X v10.3 still recognizes the AVI container, on a few compression formats (like Motion JPEG video and various PCM formats) will play natively without conversion under the Mavericks' AV Foundation.
    Basically, QT X under mavericks looks at the file container and the codecs it contains and, if the AV Foundation recognizes them but does not consider the combination compatible, begins an automatic conversion depending on programming specifics. In some cases only the audio or video data will trigger the conversion process and be conveerted and merely "pass through" another compression format while in other files both the audio and the video will both be converted. Unfortunately, even some of the codecs normally native to the Mac OS are also no longer supported. For instance, Mavericks now includes an Apple ProRes 422 codec component which appears to have replaced the Apple Intermediat Codec as the default "incermediate" compression format fore file editing. Mavericks also does not seem to support the Animation, PNG, or DV stream video codecs any longer.
    If you don't like the way QT X v10.3 works, you have two basic options. The first to to use a different media player (e.g., QT 7, VLC, MPlayerX, MPEG Streamclip, etc.) to view your content or you can opt to manually convert your content to a compression format and container that remains QT X player compatible under Mavericks.

  • Accidentally took off quick time player and Itunes wont open now

    so I have a pentium 3 windows 2000 IBM laptop
    terrible i know
    i was trying to get more memory onto my computer by deleting programs i didnt need and a supposed "computer wiz" told me that i didnt need quick time player to run Itunes.
    so i took it off and now Itunes wont even open. a message pops up saying that i need to reinstall Itunes
    because i have such an old computer (and buying a new one isnt an option right now) the newest version of quick time player isnt compatible with my computer
    i tried downloading an older version of quicktime and that hasnt worked either
    so my fear is that if i unistall and then reinstall Itunes that
    a) i will lose all my music
    and
    b) there wont be a version of Itunes i can download since i have such an old computer
    any ideas or suggests?

    Uninstalling the iTunes program should not affect your music folder however to be sure nothing goes wrong you should backup you music before starting. You might also want to have a look at this page, it refers to XP but you should be able to adapt it to 2000: Removing iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components
    You can get the highest version of iTunes that will work with Windows 2000 at this link: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • I'm trying to open the latest i-tunes but it keeps saying I need quick time 7.5 or higher

    I'm trying to open the latest i-tunes but it keeps saying I need quick time 7.5 or higher (which I do) and I have no updates available for quicktime

    QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
    QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
    = New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
    Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications.  One person had re-installed their operating system.  It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize.  Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem.  Do this manually, not with Software Update.

  • ITunes will not load--says I need new version of Quick Time

    I've used iTunes for a year and downloaded the new software 7.01--it will not run, says I need to install new version of Quick time. I removed all versions of iTunes off my computer and reinstalled iTunes with same result--Need to install new version of Quick Time. I did this and Quick time said--Can't install because a more current version of Quick time is already installed. Catch 22? Is this a do loop of apple frustration or what? Any ideas would be appreciated.
    iTunes used to work great, I'm very disappointed in apple right now.

  • Using Firefox 7.0.1 & am trying to clear cache, because Firefox crashes during online college courses (Firefox 3.0 or higher is a supported school browser), and I keep getting an error message about 'Quick Time.' Using pc - Windows 7 Home 64 bit.

    As soon as I open up Firefox - it crashes on me. It takes me at least two or three attempts. I downloaded Firefox from the Firefox website and also use it for Facebook. I am wondering if it is because I also alternate between using IE as well? While attempting to open my school e-text, a message popped up that if experiencing problems opening my e-text - then I should clear cache and cookies which I cannot do - because of the "Quick Time error message."

    As you can see below, when I right click, I have no such option.  In the User Account Settings, I'm operating as the "System Administrator".
    Any other suggestions?

  • QuickTime Pro - I am trying to find a way to retrieve my Quick Time Pro code and re-register it but, because I bought it more than 180 days ago, I cannot find the code anywhere, or any way to get an answer from Apple's website.

    I have been going round in circles, trying to resolve this
    I bought the MPEG2 component from the Apple UK store on 4th July 2010. I still have the email and the order number but they are no use to me because it is more than 180 days since I ordered this from them.
    My operating system got corrupted and I had to do a clean install, then a return of the relevant files, folders and applications from my Time Machine. With that should have been my MPEG2 component for QuickTime Pro but it refuses to register.
    I need it to convert my videos taken on my older video camera, which is a Sony, using mpeg2. I cannot look at any of these videos any more, which is deeply irritating. Still lots of editing to do.
    I think it is a bit off if I have to buy it all over again
    Any ideas?
    Mac OS X 10.6.8
    Quick Time and Quick Time 7

    I still have the email and the order number but they are no use to me because it is more than 180 days since I ordered this from them.
    The registration cade is contained in the email Apple sent you on purchasing.

  • I don't have idvd but i need to burn my movie from iMovie! what do i do? i have dvds but every time i try to use one, the sound is off and it doesn't work on quick time or adobe... help!!

    i have made a movie in imovie on my macbook pro, but apparently i don't have idvd!!!
    i need to burn this so i can watch it somewhere else, but im not sure how...
    ive already tried simply exporting it to Quick Time, and burned it to a dvd, but when i watched it... the sound was wrong and people's words were like muted...
    what do i do?!?! i don't know where or how to get idvd!
    help!!!

    Hi
    There are two structures of DVDs
    • Data-DVD - as burned from DeskTop/Finder
    • Video-DVD - to be played on a DVD-Player - Needs a program that can do this
    One can in iMovie - Export as QuickTime .mov and save this via DeskTop/Finder onto a DVD - BUT this will only play on a Computer and if it is a Window-PC this needs to download QT-player or VLC-player.
    But no DVD-player for TV can play back this.
    To get a Video-DVD then You need
    • iDVD (not from Apple any more) - or -
    • DVD Studio Pro (not from Apple any more) - or -
    • FinalCut Pro-X (can do simple Video-DVDs) - or -
    • Burn - http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html - FREE - but very PLAIN - no fancy things at all.
    • Roxio Toast™ 11 Pro - Fairly advanced - and costs a bit - still very Good and lot's of great tool's included. (I love it) - Can also back convert home made DVDs to an editable mode in an OK quality. With BD-component also capable to do sort of Blu-Ray DVDs.
