Quicktime 10.3 doesn't play

I just bought a Mc Book Air. But when I try to play any video mov or avi it doesn't play. I need any additional program or update?
File information: codecs MP42, MPEG Layer 3.

File information: codecs MP42, MPEG Layer 3.
MP42 and MP43 are Microsoft video codecs. Not sure if the free VLC player supports these formats or not. If not, you can always try the Flip Player from Telestream.

QuickTime Problem. Doesn't play video.avi.

I have updated the system up to the latest - Maverick. After that QuickTime Player doesn't play video.avi. I have tried restarting the app - worthless. Yet, it has been showing 'Converting' for 30 mins. Please, help!

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have several more questions if you don't mind.
1. Does it always take that long to convert a file (more than 30 mins)? It seems that it doesn't work. It stops at the beginning and than nothing changes.
2. Since when QuickTime needs convertation for avi? I thought this is a standart format.
3. How can I use QuickTime 7?
Here is what I see during 30 mins.
Thank you beforehand!

QuickTime VR Panorama doesn't play correctly from a webpage

http://www.nps.gov/features/glac/gallery/082105b.htm is supposed to play a QuickTime VR Panorama (082105suelake.mov). It contains the following <embed> tags:
<embed src="../video/panoramas/082105suelake.mov" width="600" height="465" autoplay="true" controller="true"></embed>
To play it, all you do is drag your clicked mouse across the image and it's supposed to play as long as your mouse is clicked.
That worked through Snow Leopard (Safari 5.1.10, etc.).
But with Lion and Mountain Lion (Safari 6.1.1, Firefox 27.0, and Google Chrome 32.0.1700.107, and earlier verisions), instead of moving with the clicked mouse, it would jump to what should have been its final position when the mouse was released.
Safari 7.0.1 correctly plays it (one of the reasons I upgraded from Lion to Mavericks), but sadly, Firefox 27.0 and
Google Chrome 32.0.1700.107 both behave on Mavericks as they did on Lion.
All three use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3 to play it; so, I figure Safari 7.0.1 must be providing some <embed> parameter values that Firefox and Chrome don't know about.
The standalone QuickTime Player 7 plays the panorama fine. It shows the following Properties:
everything else is either blank or the default values. The Inspector display shows
with the Video Track unchecked, and
with it checked. I can only imagine what happens on Windows (Internet Explorer, etc).
If you install the DivX Web Player (divx.com), DivX Web Player version 3.1.0.13 — from file “DivX Web Player.plugin” takes precedence over QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3, when playing .mov files in Safari (doesn't get installed by default in Firefox or Chrome).
To get around that, I added type="video/quicktime" to the <embed> parameters, in http://home.comcast.net/~mybrandt/082105b.htm, hoping it would fix the problem Firefox and Chrome were having. A similar fix made Safari choose QuickTime over DivX, when playing a QuickTime movie.
But instead of playing it, like it did without DivX installed, with type="video/quicktime" added, Safari 7.0.1 now shows
where the panorama image should be. And, adding to my frustration, the extra parameter had no effect on Firefox or Chrome.
All are using QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3, but don't behave the same — making this problem beyond my level of comprehension.
So, what are the necessary <embed>, or <object>, or QT_WriteOBJECT_HTML, or QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML parameters for a QuickTime VR Panorama?
I can find all sorts of documents about QuickTime movies, but not that. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spot. But I've sort of run out of time. If someone could provide a template to use, it would be most appreciated.

I have to correct something. With type="video/quicktime", Safari 7.0.1 does play the QuickTime VR Panorama, so it's effective for both QuickTime videos and panoramas. But, what I wrote about Firefox and Chrome hasn't changed.
I did get the QuickTIme with a "?" symbol when I tried to play it with Safari 7.0.1, before submitting the question; but maybe that was a side effect of an earlier attempt.

Quicktime 7.2 doesn't play files with audio

I just upgraded quicktime to 7.2 and I can not open files that have audio. Mov files that video only open just fine.
When I updated quicktime, the installation was "successful". The web test on the apple site says quicktime is installed correctly and displays streams correctly.
itunes won't boot up
Final Cut gets stuck booting at the "audio filters" extension
Safari displays quicktimes video and audio just fine. Apple movie trailers look and sound great.
I have installed the ilife conflict fix update.
I am running a G5 with 10.3.9 OSX.

To Apple Discussions!
Did you run fsck/repair permissions after the installation? If so, then check out the following:
KB article - No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)
Another trick: If you have GarageBand installed, open it (maybe open a GarageBand document) and then quit out of the application.

Quicktime X Player doesn't play wmv files correctly!

I have a brand spanking new MacBook Pro 13" with Snow Leopard installed. When I play WMV files with Flip4Mac installed, I'm unable to use the scrubber to move to different parts of the movie being played. I have to wait for it to cache (basically play back) before I can skip around in the movie.
Funny thing is that my previous machine was a Macbook v. 1.1 and I upgraded it to Snow Leopard from Leopard with WMC. QT Player worked with WMV files just fine. What gives?

RE: +I found a solution that works from the Flip4Mac boards.+
+Go to System Preferences, select Flip4Mac then player, then advanced.+
+Then select QT Player 10 and all works fine.+
*For those of us w/ a different version of QT you won't need to specifically select QT 10, just hit the "plus" then browse to your applications folder and select whichever version of QT you have and this fix works. You don't need to have QT 10. (For those of us not blessed to be in Leopard yet.) I have QT 7.6.4 Pro and it works fine. Brings back the quick little "import" bar we love so much when opening WMV files. Turns out there was a purpose for it after all! Unless QT is told to import all media prior to opening the file, it imports as it plays causing the afore mentioned issue.

Safari doesn't play some quicktime movie/animation

Hi there ..
I have a problem with Safari:
It doesn't play some on screen little quicktime windows used for advertising or .. showing little animation.
Like www.luxology.com (they have a little quicktime playing)
But if I put the mouse over such little windows and rotate the mouse wheel they play.
But they don't play automatically, only by rotating the mouse.
I don't know if it happened after I used Webkit or after Quicktime 7.1
Any Help?

That site uses Flash (.swf) and not all Flash files can be viewed using QuickTime.
I don't know if there is a Universal version of the Flash Player available but it is what you should be using for features like Flash in a browser.

Media played with Quicktime doesn't play! Help please!!

I recently got a new iPod nano, and had to update my iTunes. Since I've done this, Quicktime hasn't been functioning properly. The sound (of a trailer, movie, etc) will play, but the media window doesn't play the picture; instead the window is just green. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling several times, each without results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I had the same problem 4x. They did a clean and install and an archive and install to no avail. Here is the solution. The genius bar went on to the discussion board and found the solution. Ready; go to hard drive then /Library/Internet Plug-ins/Quicktime Plugin.webplugin. Delete last Quicktime plugin.webplugin. Let me know . peace

Editing video file in Quicktime Pro and producing a file which doesn't play

Hi all,
I have been editing some mp4 video in Quicktime Pro by setting the in and out position markers and cutting out segments (commercials). I save the file and end up with a .mov file which plays fine in the Quicktime player. (The file is a self-contained Quicktime movie.) At some point in the future, though, when I go to open the file in the Quicktime Player, only the audio plays. The video does not play, and the file opens as if it contained no video. That is, the Quicktime Player only shows the audio controls, and there's no area for video.
The same file plays fine in a Finder window when using CoverFlow/QuickView mode, which is very strange to me since I assume that uses the same Quicktime engine. It also plays fine in VLC.
Any ideas? It seems like there's some attribute on the file which is telling the Quicktime Player not to play the video, only play the audio.
Thanks in advance,
Russ

Any ideas?
First thing I would do when the file opens as an audio only files is check the "Properties" window to see what it says on a track by track basis. I also might try re-compressing the edited file to see if this prevents whatever is going on.

A 60-min. QuickTime file which plays perfectly in my Mac doesn't play perfectly on someone else's Mac. Audio stops completely at 15 mins.

Have exported and re-exported an Apple Pro Res 422 HQ QuickTime movie from Avid.
Plays fine on my computer. (I have a Mac Pro, use OS 10.6.8. Use QT ver. 7.6.6.)
I send it to someone else, he plays it on his Mac, and says the audio stops completely at the 15 minute mark.
Any ideas?????
Thanks!

Quicktime 7 doesn't play extracted .mov files

Hi,
I am on an iMac OS X 10.5.8, and using quicktime 7.
I downloaded a tutorial torrent using Utorrent, it gave me 32 .rar files that I extracted with UnRarX, then it gave me a folder with 32 .mov files which opens by default with quicktime. I can press play, it shows the lenght of the video but there is no picture and no sound, I tried to open it with DivX player, now I have sound but still no picture. Anyone ?!

Format: Sorenson Video 3 Decompressor, 800 x 600, Millions +
The Sorenson Video 3 (SV3) codec is somewhat old and belongs to the "legacy" group. You may want to check to see if the "Legacy Encoders" option is set in the "Registration > Advanced" preference window. (Not sure if this option is required for playback or only for encoding purposes. Also not sure if the legacy version built into QT is compatible with SV3 Pro Codec used by Sorenson Squeeze.) In any case, my guess would be that the audio (not mentioned by you) may be MP3 which is commonly used with both DivX and FLV files. In any event, not being a Sorenson codec user, that is about all I can say at this point without seeing/testing a sample snippet.

.SWF doesn't play in website

Hi, I am using Flash 5. I need to save my flash .swf to play on a website. I went into Publish settings and selected Flash player 9 and Actionscript 3. I then exported the .swf and .html.
Animation Doesn’t Play
I then placed the .swf in Dreamweaver using Dreamweavers .swf plugin. When I previewed the page in my browser the sound played but the animation didn’t. What a I missing?
Animation Play Button
Also, can someone please tell me the best way to have my .swf not play until the user clicks’ play. Is there a setting to get a start arrow like a Quicktime mov.? or do I need to set it up myself?
Thanks

Does the html page that Flash publushed work okay? USe the codee from that file if it does, DW is not a reliable source for embedding Flash content.
You will need to build in your own controls to have something clickable that plays the file.

ITunes doesn't play wavs made on PC

I have backed up a number of PC files on a DVD and tried to put them on my iPod shuffle, using iTunes on my MacPro, when I realized that iTunes doesn't play them, so I can't put them on the shuffle. However, those wav files play alright in Quicktime on my Mac. Why not also on iTunes? Is there something that I have to enable, or some sort of conversion that I must do?
The files seem to load in the playlist, then they show in both the playlist and the Music folder. The files seem to be there, for when I Ctrl+click > Get info, within iTunes, it shows their size, sample rate, etc. It's just that they won't play.
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

Yes, I have played almost endless numbers of WAVs in iTunes. These files have been created with foobar2000, PlexTools Professional, and EAC for the most part.
My PC is switched off right now so I can't play with NMP WAV files and iTunes, but I still think that if you simply use another program to reconvert the problematic files to WAV format again (a lossless process) with known good settings, the files will likely play in iTunes.
Also, it may be that NMP has created "floating point" vs. "fixed point" WAVs, and that would cause problems with iTunes.

Sound doesn't play with video

i just recently put a few music videos on my ipod and they play fine, but the music doesn't play along with them. also if i try to play the music then start the video, my ipod freezes up. can anyone help me resolve my dilemma here? thanks (:

Quicktime, Quicktime Pro and iTunes don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
See:iPod plays video but not audio.
You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Avi frame by frame, it doesn't play

Hi,
i'm on Mac Os X 10.7.1, with QuickTime Player X 10.1 and Perian 1.2.3. When i start an avi file with the Quick Look it plays normally, but with QuickTime Player every time i play, it goes forward 1 frame than it stops.
Any idea?

Hi there,
Yes I'm still struggling with this project for the cinema,
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3746281#3746281
but I don't want to be beaten by it. The cinema is very impressed with what I have produced, it's just configuring everything to work on their system.
Ideally I would like to do what I wanted originally which is to produce a "trailer jukebox" where they select 4 trailers to play, as posed by my original posting. But that requires extra scripting and Final Cut Studio which I am daunted by the technical side of as I'm more a design person, and also the cost of the software. However I haven't ruled that out yet as this project could be reasonably lucrative for me as they would require updated DVD's once a month. Where we got to in the discussions with their technical manager was that if I couldn't do the scripting required, perhaps I could supply them with 5 or 6 disks with a variety of trailers on each disk that does't autoplay when inserted.
I agree with you that they must be able to configure their computer DVD player so that it doesn't auto run when a disk is inserted.
Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
