QuickTime 7.1 missing the codec

Hi,
I try to open an avi file (DivX + MP3) with QT embedded in an html page.
I get a message telling I'm missing some codecs and a button that opens the following URL: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html
But this page is commercial verbose, I just like to know what should I install to have my QT playing avi videos.
And if possible, where can I find a list of codecs supporting various audio/video types with QT...
Thanks
Jean-Pierre

QuickTimeKirk, thanks for the reply.
Yes, I think as you that the problem is from FLV exporter from Flash 8. It is not Universal. I will not go backward with QT. I prefer to wait until the UB Flash 8 Pro see the light..... or Flash Pro 9 (for sure it will be Universal)
Thanks again !

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Hello is there a solution to play some avi formats with quicktime because with all the codec i can play video but not the sound thank you by advance (im on windows 7 so perian cant help me)

I did some googling and found alot of topics from you on this issue, to me it simply seems like on of the connectors is broken or loose.

Quicktime plugin 7.7.1 crashes on Chrome, Safari, and Firefox plus missing in codecs to render on video programs.

Hi all,
I'm going to assume that this problem is fairly new because there haven't been any solutions to the previous folks who reported a similar situation.
I discovered the problem when I was trying to render a video file to a quicktime .mov format and the quicktime codec was missing. My substitute for that was H264 which was fine but nothing like having quicktime.
Second time this quicktime plugin was having problems was when I goto the apple website to check out trailers and the plugin crashes without even trying to load the video.
I have Mac OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 the latest version.
Thanks in advanced all!

Solved my problem.
I didn't mention that I had Flip4mac to play WMV files and so I removed the Flip4Mac component/plugin completely and we are now back in the quicktime game!

Im trying to put songs i just purchased into my video on windows movie maker and the error comes up that the codec for the song is missing what do i do?

The songs you purchased are in AAC format, which Windows Movie Maker cannot handle. You can use iTunes to make MP3 versions by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550 and the MP3s will work fine.
Note that when iTunes does a conversion it creates a new file and leaves the original in place. Make sure you are grabbing the new MP3 for your movie and not the original AAC.
Sorry to hear about your grandpa.

Missing HD codec - I think?

Ever since I upgraded to Quicktime Pro (and I don't really expect that be the cause) I have lost all ability to play and edit HD video. Quicktime will only play the audio and other video players say that I am missing the necessary codec. I used to be able to play and edit HD video files, so I'm a little annoyed.

Can you be specific as to the codec or format? HD just means a frame size.

How do I convert an .avi file when the codec is CLLC

I've been sent a file .avi to convert for a digital display. We do this often and have had no problem, however the codec is CLLC? I've never heard of it and FCP won't read it, nor will VLC or QT.
They compressed using Edius.
I've tried all sorts of programs, the preview comes up with a blank screen and tells me its an audio file.
Does anyone know how to convert the CLLC file.
Thanks
Annette

Tell "they" to provide the clip in an edit-friendly QuickTime codec.

"Premiere Pro CS3" is missing some codecs!

Hi!
First of all, thanks for stoping by and read my post.
It's me first time ever using Premiere Pro CS3. I tried to some basic video editing on it, but I cannot hear any sound coming out of my laptop speakers; when i import the video clips. Even tho, I can hear them with "Windows Media Player". So, I investigated a bit and I did some of the things adviced by Adobe's knowledgebase thing.
And, I came up with a paper saying to download "MediaInfo" and "GSpot" to find out the codecs of the "mpg" files. Here is a report i made with the information given by those programs:

As you can see "Premiere Pro CS3" is missing some codecs, so my question is where can I download those?
I forgot to tell you, that I use a HP laptop Dual core Intel processor with Win Vista Home 2 GB of RAM and 160 GB of HD
Thanks in advance
P.S. I am attaching the Diagdx.txt, even tho I don't think has to necesary
P.S. 2. I just saw another post similar to this one, but it doesn't tell you how to make "Premiere Pro" get the audio to work in my clips and finished project

Most good file converters can handle Video and Audio. If you are having issues with the Audio, both Audition and SoundBooth can convert to almost anything and any sample rate and bit depth.
Here's a LINK to the PrPro Wiki. There are links to various aspects of conversion there.
Now, remember that when working FROM MPEG-2 and also AC3, the files are compressed to begin with. Quality will suffer, and there is only one way around that - go back to the original source files. If not possible, then you have to determine if the quality has suffered too much.
Good luck,

Quicktime not playing black magic codec files, or avi

Hello!
I'm on a new macbook pro (17"). my friend on an older mac laptop can play back a quicktime file in the player that has the blackmagic codec, but I cannot.
I can open the file and play it in final cut pro, I can see it in shake, but I can't play it back in the quicktime player. it shows up all white, but does list the codec as being the black magic 10 bit uncompressed codec.
I've downloaded the codec from black magic, and dropped it in /library/quicktime, but I'm not getting any result.
I've also tried "touching" the quicktime folder like they recommend, but nothing's working.
quicktime's also not playing back avi files, but I know that can be a bigger issue.
Any ideas?
thanks!
-Josh

The Blackmagic Software Codec.component I just downloaded today show it to be PowerPC. Your Intel Mac needs a Universal version or else you need to run using Rosetta.
Your .avi issue is probably the same reasons.

why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

qttask.exe is a QuickTime program file rather than an iTunes program file. If you don't have QuickTime installed on the PC, then it won't appear on the system.

Both the AVI and the MOV file extensions refer to the file container and not the compressed data the file contains. Both are generic file containers in that each may contain any valid combination of audio and/or video data that is compatible with the codec component configuration of the system on which the file was created. On the other hand, whether a file is playback compatible, conversion compatible, and/or edit compatible depends on the data actually contained in the file container. So, you are basically dealing with two separate issues here—the container and what is inside it.
Basically, if you want to make your files ediit compatible with iMovie, you must change your file container to one that is acceptable to iMovie and convert the data to edit compatible audio and/or video compression formats as may be necessary. The best approach is to determine what codecs were actually used to create the original AVI files and add them to your system if possible. In most cases a codec package like Perian can be added to your system's codec component configuration to may the AVI file playable. Once they are playable, in the QT 7 app then they can be chnged or converted to file types and compression formats that can be edited in iMovie. (While Perian handles most codecs commonly used to create AVI files, it does not handle all possibilities and, while the Perian codec package still works under cureent Mac OS versions, its development group has decided to drop further development/support of the package.)
Background: AVI is a file container originally developed by Microsoft back in 1992 but for which official support was discontinued about 11 years. Despite its limitations, Windows users still tend to use this file based on its open source ease of use and generic nature, thus, making its use so popular that most users are unwilling to switch to more modern but less generic file types. Since some AVI legacy compression formats have never been transcoded for the Mac or use beyond OS 9 or OS X PPC platforms, it is often important to know what specific compression formats are contained in the AVI file to know which codecs to add to your system and which not to add in order to avoid possible codec conflicts.
You can use many different converters to convert AVI files to iMovie edit compatible files. Most third-party apps contain their own buit-in codecs which do not relay on the Mac codec component configuration. Free ones, like HandBrake, usually have limited conversion capabilities while those that have more varied outputs are usually commercial in nature and will cost you additional cash. QT 7 Pro or the free MPEG Streamclip app allow you to access you own system's component configuration and use any available codec component like DV, AIC, MPEG-4, H.264, Photo JPEG, etc.—all of which are iMovie compatible for editing purposes—but only after making the AVI file QT 7 player compatible.
In order to determine what compression formats wewre used in your AVI files you can
1) Try checking the Finder "Info" window,
2) Use the "Inspector", "Media Info", or "Properties" window of any player app that will open the file, or
3) Use a general media utility app like "MediaInfo" to read the file characteristics.

Final Cut Server (FCSvr) missing the Edit Proxies Device in the Advanced Administration Pane.
If for any reason an Admin has mistakenly or purposely deleted the Edit Proxies device
from the FCSvr Java Admin, and you'd like to restore connective to it following the instructions below.
Note verify these symptoms, open the FCSvr Java Admin, Go to Preferences and the Proxies Pane and inspect
If the field and drop down for Edit Proxies is missing please backup your FCSvr DB manually and following the steps below to restore connectivity.
1. From the Terminal from the following command
          cd /Library/Application\ Support/Final\ Cut\ Server/Final\ Cut\ Server.bundle/Contents/MacOS/
2. Next run the following command
           ./fcsvr_client getmd --xml /prefs/0 > ~/Desktop/prefs0.xml
This will output a XML file containing the Final Cut Server Global Preferences to the Desktop folder of the currently logged in user.
3. Using for favorite XML Text Editor (mine is TextMate) open the file that was output
4. Notice the XML element and attribute values between lines 29 and 31
<value id="PROXY_CLIP_EDIT_DEVICE">
   <address>/dev/3</address>
</value>
5. From the command line run the following command to determine the Device ID for you Edit Proxies device
./fcsvr_client search /dev
You should get an output similar to what's below.
Address        DEVICE_NAME                   DEVICE_TYPE

/dev/2         Version                       contentbase
Record the new Device id for the Edit Proxies device.
6. Open up the file /Desktop/prefs0.xml and XML attribute in line 29
   <address>/dev/20</address>
to the value of the Edit Proxies from step 6.
7. Save the /Desktop/prefs0.xml
8. From the command line run the following command
sudo ./fcsvr_client setmd /prefs/0 --xml ~/Desktop/prefs0.xml
enter you admin password if prompted.
9. Close and reopen the FCSvr Java Admin, Go to Preferences and Proxies and inspect
The field and dropdown should reappear.
If for some reason this didn't work, feel free to contact me offline.

H.264 is a puzzling choice of codec for edit proxies. H.264 is not an edit-friendly codec since it is a complex long-GOP structure and will require a ton of rendering just to play back the timeline. ProRES 422 Proxy would be a much better choice for editing. I'm afraid I can't account for the differences between Compressor and FCServer in this case, but my gut tells me the non-I-frame codec you are trying to use for edit proxies might have something to do with it. Maybe for an edit-proxy workflow to operate properly on the server-side the codec must be I-frame? Is there any reason you do not want to use ProRES 422 Proxy? They are about 1/3 the footprint of 720p24 DVCPRO-HD, which is already very efficient. For that frame rate and frame size they would be roughly half the heft of good ol' DV25.
So my answer to all three questions would be to try ProRES 422 Proxy for your edit proxies and see if everything lines up.

Quicktime Importer Component Missing

Hello,
I think that this is posted on the correct forum but if not I apologise.
I am having a problem running games (namely 'The Sims 2' and 'Nanosaur 2') and I think it's something to do with Quicktime.
I have tried reinstalling OS X, updating all the software I can, installing the latest patch for The Sims 2, reinstalling The Sims 2 on numerours occasions in different places, reinstalling the latest Quicktime, creating a new user and trying from there, installing OS 9 Classic, installing Quicktime 4 and 5 under Classic mode and installing CarbonLib 1.2 and 1.3 (though I couldn't install either CarbonLib because it said I didn't need them). Nothing seems to work.
When attempting to open Nanosaur 2, after OKing the graphics detail selector window the screen briefly goes to black then comes back to the desktop with the message-
"DrawPictureIntoGWorld: GetGraphicsImporterForFile failed! One of Quicktime's importer components is missing. You should install OS X to fix this."
Then when I click OK, it briefly goes to black and it gives me this message-
"SetMetaObjectToPicture: DrawPictureIntoGWorld failed!"
The Sims 2 displays the 'EA Games' logo, doesn't display the 'Maxis' logo (instead displays a small red X in the top left of the screen), shows the 'aspyr' logo and the start up video then dumps me back onto the desktop (briefly at a low resolution (maybe 640x480) then clicking back into my normal 1440x900). It then just brings up a 'This application quit unexpectedly' message.
I believe these 2 errors to be related so maybe a problem with Quicktime rendering or something (I know nothing about these types of things).
Is there anywhere to get individual Quicktime importer components or any way to fix this problem. Everything else seems to work fine.
Simon.

I think the designers page may hold better answers to your troubles.
First trouble is that most of these games can only be played from the "device" (CD/DVD) and also include their own QuickTime playback "engine".
So. Your installed version of QuickTime may not be the one used for playback.
