Quicktime 7.0.2.120 for Windows only crashes...

I've installed the latest version of Quicktime (7.0.2.120 with itunes 5.0.1) but whenever I try to launch the quicktime player I get:
QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience...etc...
Under Microsoft error reporting is this:
AppName: quicktimeplayer.exe      AppVer: 7.0.2.120      ModName: quicktimeplayer.exe
ModVer: 7.0.2.120      Offset: 0006162a
I've had the same issue with previous versions of quicktime 7 but hoped it would be sorted out with the non-beta version. Anything above quicktime 6.5.2 doesn't work.
I'm running XP SP2
Any suggestions?

Well, I think this one definitely falls into the Quicktime bug category as opposed to driver issues, etc. It was a convoluted path to figuring this out but here it is:
The crash I described when loading the Quicktime player occurs only if the C: drive (or probably whatever drive Quicktime was installed to) has a volume name of greater than 28 characters. If the volume name is shortened to 28 characters or fewer the player loads just fine.
However, if you attempt to play a Quicktime movie residing on another drive which has a volume name of greater than 28 characters, you'll get this error, "Error -2000: a necessary data reference could not be resolved". Again, shortening the volume name of the drive where the file is located to <= 28 characters resolves this issue and the movie will play fine.
That being said, I'd have to say I'm not terribly impressed with this effort. There are some other minor bugs like if you move the player window while a movie is playing, the window edges around the video do not get properly refreshed. But the performance issues are what really disappoint. It just doesn't seem to perform very well and upscaling movies larger than their native resolution looks really bad. I had higher hopes with all this HD talk, but playback of one of the sample movies from the gallery at 480p looks more like a slideshow than a movie. And even the slideshow, when stretched to fullscreen, has lots of visible compression artifacts. To be fair, my system doesn't meet the requirements Apple lists, but those are pretty steep. Good old mpeg2 or divx/xvid video encoded at lower resolution and stretched to fullscreen look a lot better on my system. Maybe on a higher-end system that wouldn't be the case...

  • Error in Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7

    Hello Everyone,
    I am a regular user of I-tunes but recently i dont know why but I got some error in Launching I-tunes. So as recomonded by "Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7" section. I started removing the products. But after removing Quick time, I tried to remove Apple Software Update but while uninstalling it gave error that "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor." and the uninstall rollbacks.
    Please send me a feasible solution to this problem.
    Thank You.

    Uninstalling the iCloud control panel should allow you to do that folder deletion.

    I am not certain, but I believe there is a version of Dazzle for the Mac. However, it is not the route I would chose.
    You really need a proper analogue to digital converter, like the ADVC110, to connect to your camera via the usual RCA cables, and to your Mac via firewire.

  • I have Windows 8.1 and just bought the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for windows and it won't install. I currently have Quicktime Pro.

    I need to run Quicktime Pro and playback DVD with mpeg-2 content for school. I just downloaded Quicktime Pro, and purchased the quicktime mpeg-2 playback component for Windows, but I can't download it at all. Is this because my PC is running Windows 8.1?
    If so, is there anything I can do?

    What do I do?
    You actually have several options. However, since you specifically want to use it it with MPEG Streamclip, the easiest approach would be to download the MPEG Streamclip "Beta" package for the Mac which includes a utility app that will help install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component on Lion and later operating systems. Instructions and background info can be found HERE under the "Lion/Mountain Lion and MPEG-2 Playback Component" tab.

  • Quicktime Pro 7.6.5 for Windows - Chapter Tracks problem - Preloading?

    Hi there,
    I have Quicktime Pro 7.6.5 (which is the latest I believe) for Windows and I'm trying to add a chapter track. I'm using Apples tutorial at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials… and I'm up to step 10. In my Other Settings tab under chapters all I have for options is "none" (see? http://i50.tinypic.com/30958wk.jpg) which means there is no properties popup and I can't make it preload.
    Please help? As I'm on Windows I can't use Garageband or whatever, the only programs I have is the CyberLink DVD suite, Windows Movie Maker (for Vista if that matters) and some form of muvee, though I dunno which one.. I also have Showbiz 2 on a disc somewhere.
    Thanks
    (PS: to get this straight, it will work on a DVD right? If I put a chapter track on then burn to DVD when I put the DVD in my player the chapter track will come up?)

    QuickTime Pro does not play .wmv files. It doesn't export them without some other third party software.
    Try reading the steps and supported file formats before your complain about what it does, or doesn't, do.

  • Jabber for windows only allows the logged-in AD user to log into his jabber account only

    Hello gang,  
    I have this strange issue with jabber for windows 10.5.  So if you log into a pc with your microsoft active directory domain account and try to log into jabber with the same user credentials, you can log-in fine. However, if you try to log into another jabber account that is different from the AD account that you are logged into the pc with, you will not be able to log into jabber.  You will just get an error from jabber that says that your credentials are incorrect. I actually deleted the jabber folders in the  local and roming data folders, thinking that maybe it was caching the password but even that did not help.
    Has anyone seen this problem before?

    I've also experienced this.  If you are logged in as a local user on the computer you can switch to any other Jabber user, but if you are logged into your computer with a domain/AD account you cannot login as a different user, only the domain user that is signed into the computer can login to Jabber.  Does anybody know of a workaround or fix?  Is this a setting that can be changed?  

  • Activating Family Share for Windows only iTunes Users

    Dear community fellows,
    a search for "family share windows" shows, that the topic was yet discussed in the 4th quarter of 2014 but not yet solved at all, therefore I would like to start and reactivate it again:
    How can I, a Windows only customer and user of the iTunes Store, share my huge collections of bought songs with my family? All ways described in the documenation, especially the one that creates the impression that can be done via iCloud for Windows fail.
    My wife uses an iPad Air, my children use iPhones. When my wife invites me to join the family, I receive an invitation email containing a link to view the invitation, but that link does not work and clicking it always results in a message that this link cannot be opend in the browser (tried via Outlook 2013, Firefox, Chorme, Internet Explorer on a laptop using Win 7 32bit and via Firefox and Chrome and Mail on an Android smartphone).
    When I try to read this mail via the web interface of my mail provider using Safari on my wife's iPad, I am informed after clicking the invitation link, that I am already a member of the family (which is not the case, the status in iCloud as displayed on the iPad for me is already "Invitation was sent" (I use the German interface, so the original message on an English one might be different from my translation).
    So: How can I accept the invitation to join my own family and grant the other members access to my iTunes purchases?
    Kind Regards,
    Franz

    You may move your audio tracks to a public folder on your network and point each iTunes music folder to it.
    It would be very similar to this description: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93195

  • Problems installing QuickTime 7 with iTunes 6 for Windows XP

    I am encountering problems with the latest version of QuickTime (version 7.0.3) together with iTunes 6.
    Installation is fine except at the end when I receive an error message saying ’1628: Failed to complete installation’. It appears that both programmes have been installed and work but I am unable to uninstall them. Neither program appears in the Add/Remove programs list when they should be. If I select ‘Uninstall QuickTime’ from the Program list the uninstalation process starts but stops half way through.
    I have tried downloading QuickTime standalone version but this is exactly the same. I removed the QuickTime folder, and all its contents, from C:\Program Files\QuickTime and installed the previous version (6.5.2) which installs and uninstalls fine.
    I am at a loss as to why the latest version is causing problems.
    Would appreciate any help or advice as to why this is happening?
    Thanks

  • Yoga 2 Tabblet 1051L - LTE driver for Windows 10 crashes during installation

    After update to Windows 10 my LTE radio stopped working at all. I downloaded the driver from https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/b2wd10mc01.exe (as well as all others designed for Windows 10) and updated the tablet, one by one. All drivers work ok, except the LTE one. It crashes with "ERROR: Pre-installation of '...\incdcpo8.inf'" Have you experienced the same or did it install on your tablet properly? Please let me know if it is a common issue or just particularly affects my tablet. Thanks in advance!

    EN: This driver can't install at all. Reset your device to factory settings (Windows 10 still will be). Note that you loose all data and ability do rollback to Windows 8.1
    PL: Ten sterownik w ogóle się nie chce instalować więc sobie go można odpuścić, ewentualnie spróbuj podczas włączonego instalatora skopiować pliki z folderu %APPDATA% -> Temp i zaktualizować manualnie przez Menedżer urządzeń. Jeżeli to nic nie da zresetuj tablet do domyślnych ustawień. Windows 10 dalej będzie, ale utracisz możliwość powrotu do 8.1.
    Osobiście polecam 8.1 ponieważ 10 bardzo się zacina na tym tablecie ponieważ albo Microsoft albo Intel albo jak zwykle Lenovo dało ciała np. nie wypuszczając aktualizacji BIOSU (ta WT17) jest z lutego, tylko datę zmienili.

  • Flash Player 7 for Windows Mobile crashes Pocket IE

    I just downloaded and installed the latest Flash Player 7 for

    You will probably find that Adobe.com is using Flash 8 or 9
    content, hence
    the crash. Since most up-to-date web sites will be similar,
    you may find
    Flash 7 is largely unusable for web surfing.
    Just speculating.
    I don't know for certain.

  • QuickTime SDK for Windows ICMCompressionSessionEncodeFrame crashes for higher resolution cameras  2 MP

    I implemented a while ago a H.264 re-encoding to output H.264 QuickTime .mov file usng QuickTime Window SDK  7.3.0.70. The code uses ICMCompressionSession to compress the frames going into the container. The code works fine with cameras with resolutions up to 2 Megapixels (1600 x 1200). The crash occurs in QuickTime API call. Here is the code to compress the frame:
    CVPixelBufferRef pixel_buffer = nil;
    int nWidth = (**pixMap).bounds.right - (**pixMap).bounds.left;
    int nHeight = (**pixMap).bounds.bottom - (**pixMap).bounds.top;
    CVReturn ret =
    CVPixelBufferCreateWithBytes(kCFAllocatorDefault,
                                 nWidth,
                                 nHeight,
                                 k24RGBPixelFormat,
                                 GetPixBaseAddr(pixMap),
                                 3 * nWidth,
                                 NULL,
                                 NULL,
                                 NULL,
                                 &pixel_buffer);
    //.....code ommitted for clarity
    // set image data into the pixel buffer
    CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress( pixel_buffer, 0 );
    // Feed the frame to the compression session.
    m_OSerr = ICMCompressionSessionEncodeFrame( compressionSession, pixel_buffer,
            displayTimeMsecs, displayDurationMsecs, validTimeFlags,
            frameOptions, NULL, NULL );
    //unlock the pixels
    CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress( pixel_buffer, 0 );
    CVPixelBufferRelease(pixel_buffer);
    The call to ICMCompressionSessionEncodeFrame fails either  with
    1. Error code -108
