Quicktime 7 Pro is unable to play or convert DIVX, or XVID video

Hello,
I have bought the Quicktime 7 Pro, to convert DIVX, or XVID video, to my IPOD video, but it is not working.
The Quicktime player can not recognise the video format, so the screen is blank when I want to play the video, and I have no sound (Quicktime recognises the audio format !).
When I convert the video to my IPOD video, I have the same behaviour.
Is it normal that Quicktime Pro works this way ? I can view the video with others player.
I have already checked if I have the latest version, for my video and sound driver, and it is.
If anyone can help me to understand thank you.
Cordially,
2fleurs

QuickTimeKirk is correct. If you cannot open or decode a particular movie, such movie cannot be exported with QuickTime Pro in the first place. DivX QT codec, which comes with DivX Converter, is required to decode and export DivX movies. Likewise, if you cannot open a multimedia file with QuickTime, it cannot be used with iTunes or Final Cut Pro, either, unless you change the default player. As for XviD, this gentleman offers a free QT codec. However, to my knowledge, QuickTime is able to decode XviD video without an additional component. But this codec is for Macs. So 2fleurs cannot use it, I guess.

UNable to play content error on music and videos

I have an 8330, and I recently begun getting an "Unable to play content" error when I try to play musi or a video. I first noticed it after recieving the following error message when I turn on my phone, so I figure they are related.
"Uncaught exception: A browser content provider for audio/mid MIME type has already been registered with the browser"
Any ideas on what is wrong or how to fix it?

HT3678 Quicktime 7 pro. Unable to register as registration button does nothing.

I want to upgrade to QT7 pro but i try to register and get nowhere. I click Preferences>Registration but nothing happens.

Must be a mountain lion quirk. Not seen any forum threads on it though.
No, it's not an issue with SL, Lion, ML, or Mavericks. I have Quicktime Pro registered to all of these versions.
It's not seen in other forum threads because it's not a problem.
After you enter the Registration Code, just press Tab, don't press Enter first.

Music purchased on iPhone is unable to play on Macbook pro.

I purchased some music on my iPhone, recently and awhile back. Most of the songs are now starting to pop up on my Macbook pro as unable to play file because original fiile cannot be found. The songs are listed on my iTunes on my Mac but there is a symbol next to the song of an exclamation point.

Sounds like the songs are not there anymore or the location of where your iTunes library points to has been changed. You can redownload songs you have purchased by going to the Purchased link in iTunes Store. You could also just do a search on your hard drive for the music and then change where your iTunes library is pointing to in order to play the files.

Unable to play Cineform avi files in Premiere Pro CS3

I am using Cineform NeoHD version 5.3.2 to convert the MXF files from my Canon XF300 into Cineform AVI.
Then I import these AVI files into Premiere Pro CS3 and here is where the problem begins.
Premiere is unable to play these Cineform files. All I get is about a second of audio, and a still frame of the video. This happens both in the source window, and also on the timeline.
The Cineform AVI files play perfectly fine when using Virtualdub for playback, but Windows media player behave just like Premiere.
Everything worked fine a week ago. Premiere appeared to use something called "ffdshow" to play the Cineform files, and I could edit without any trouble.
A few days ago, when I tried the same, that's when the problems came. Whenever I hit Play button in Premiere, a popup window came up, saying Premiere wanted to use ffdshow, and the options was "never", "no once", "yes once", "yes always".
When everything worked a week ago, I had to use the "yes always" option.
Now, it does not matter which option I use, Premiere will not play the Cineform files.
I did not make any changes to my computer between the day everything was okay, and when the problem appeared.
A Cineform representative suggested "ffdshow" is the troublemaker, so I uninstalled ffdshow and removed any traces of it I could find, but the same problem still exist.
Then I uninstalled Cineform NeoHD
Uninstalled and reinstalled Production Premium CS3 suite
Reinstalled Cineform NeoHD
Still same problem, nothing has changed.
It does not matter if I use 50i or 25p source files.
My system: (Laptop)
Windows Vista ultimate 64-bit
Intel 2,66GHz quad core CPU
4GB ram
Nvidia Geforce 8800M GTX
3x internal 7200rpm harddrives set up with raid-0
Anyone else experiencing this?
Any ideas what might be wrong?

dont know , but this stuff might fix your prob.. overwrite whatever ffdshow screwed up...
cfrepair utility:
http://www.siliconimaging.com/DigitalCinema/SiliconImaging_support.html
cineform codec (neo player)
http://estore.cineform.com/NeoPlayer.aspx
never used the cfrepair thing..but did install neoplayer which gave me the codec to use cs3 with cf raw files ( sample of cf raw at the si 2k site -- avi ext )
ps.... to keep overhead down on my computer I took the resulting cineform "player" out of my startup directory....as it wants to run in background when you install it...no need for that for my purpose of just getting the codec

Flash CS5 unable to play .FLV files on Macbook Pro

I have a colleague who is trying to put together a Flash package for me on her macbook pro. It needs to play an flv file. She is unable to play flv files on her computer either in Flash or using the Adobe Media Player. I have no problem playing the same files on my macbook pro, we're both running the latest OS and have version 1.8 of Adobe Media Player.
She went to the Adobe site to download the latest version of Adobe Media Player, hoping that might include whatever component is missing on her system. Because of Adobe's decision not to distribute AMP that didn't help. She has Flash Professional CS5 11.0.2 on her system. When she imports an flv video into a Flash project and tries to play it she gets an error message saying it can't stream the video. Note that the video is on her hard drive, it is NOT on the internet so no streaming should be required.
The actual error message is: "the video player is in the connection error state. It enters this state when a video stream attempted to load but was unsuccessful. There are two possible reasons for the error: no connection to the server or the stream was not found."
Since it's a file on her hard drive, and she has loaded the file into the Adobe development environment successfully, the one thing we know for certain is that neither of these reasons is correct. Something is obviously missing on her system, what is it and what can we do to fix it?

I'm getting error too (Error #2044: Unhandled NetStatusEvent:. level=error, code=NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound). I'm getting this with CS5. This file was previously made in CS4 and never got this error.
Everything (fla and flv too) is on external hard disk.
As this work requires to be exported to mov, I've found out that everything needs to be on the mac (don't know for pc), like on desktop.
So, let me wrap up disadvantages I got with Flash CS5:
- TextField.embedFont makes the font disappear in CS5, so I can't use it, so I can't "play" with text in a comfortable way (in CS4, with embedFont = true, I was able to rotate and stuff). Now I have to make a bitmap out of it. It means 3 lines of code and a new variable, instead of just an easy one.
- I have to rebuild my entire source path structure for AS classes, as my old one (that took me years of effort to be reasonable and used to work just fine in CS4).
- I have to move stuff from my hard drive to the desktop, to make flv be played and to make a mov out of my animation.
CS5 is making my job harder and making me lose a lot of time to find out errors that have no good reason to exist (it was not error. just "place CS5 doesn't like").

QT cannot by itself play video on DVDs. Apple sells a mpeg2 component that plays some DVDs but there are significant limitations which you should be aware of before purchase. See this article for those:

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.

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move

On my mac I have both Quicktime X and Quicktime 7 pro. Both applications seem to be crashing quite often lately. This happens when playing all files types. I notice it more with .flv file. It usually happens when i grab the time slider bar and try to move it. The apps will freeze and I have to "force quit" to get them to close. Sometimes putting the computer to sleep and waking it up helps. Is there a way to remedy this?

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.

Cannot Play Videos In Quicktime 7 Pro

Hello,
I have just purchased QuickTime 7 Pro so i can convert my .AVI Video files to .M4V so i can play and list them in my itunes film library.
However when i try to play a film i get 1 of 2 problems.
1) the film plays but no sound OR audio is played but the film acts as if its playing.
2) the film plays audio only however the audio is skipping and jumping and clicking through out and there is NO Video.
I have downloaded Xvid encoders and DIVX Encoders but these do not seem to have changed anything.
any help would be great as i have just spent £20 on QuickTime 7 Pro for the conversion feature that i cannot use because of the above errors. (when i do convert a film its just blank)
Cheers.

i have spent £20 on a program that does not do as it was intended for (as it stated it did
Nothing in Apple's literature or documentation says that it handle XVID. And the DivX formats are that company's responsibility; Apple mentions DivX, but they don't make the codec. So QuickTime Pro is probably doing exactly what was stated. You might talk to DivX about the DX50 movies. I can't see anything on their site that says that their codec pack works with QuickTime Player on Windows systems, but there might be something I'm missing.
As to a refund, probably not. Apple's standard policy on any electronic software purchase is that there are no refunds. This is especially likely when the problem is not with QuickTime but rather than your needs differ from what QuickTime offers. You can contact the Apple Store and ask, though.
Regards.

Unable to play newest (10/20/2010) Special Event keynote

Hi!
I'm unable to play the newest podcast keynote with my iPhone 4 IOS 4.1. It doesn't matter if I download it with the phones iTunes or my Mac's iTunes and then sync it. It just won't start playing on the phone but works fine on the Mac.
Any resolutions or is the file corrupted?

Hey everyone.
I had the exact same problem as described above. Very annoying and kind of worrisome if you ask me. I figured out a simple solution. Here goes:
- Hopefully you have Quicktime Player 7 still installed on your machine. I am running 10.6.4 with both Quicktime X and Quicktime Player 7 (Pro). I have found Quicktime Player 7 to be INCREDIBLY useful when X just does not do the job.
-Get the podcast file onto your Desktop (or some other convenient place in the Finder)
-Control click on it and select Open with --> Quicktime Player 7.
-Then just go to File-->Export-->(name it whatever you want) and then select Movie to iPhone (or whatever device you want to sync it to).
-It should import into iTunes as a Movie file. Then just sync.
-Took about 30 minutes for me, but now I can watch it on my commute to work.
-Again, I agree it should just work for god's sake. But hopefully this helps some of you.

Unable to play recorded video using BB multimedia api in other platform

I am really in trouble. I need your help .
Thanks in advance.

In my experience if windows media player plays it(the mpeg4), it will not be compatiable with quicktime. At least if you do not go installing the codecs to read ISO mpeg 4 (.mp4 is the standard extension that quicktime puts on the files). Another thing to check is if you are creating ISO compliant files. The mpeg4s that windows media reads by default are not ISO compliant. You also need to keep in mind that Quicktime is a simple profile mp4 and main profile mp4 player (although not all b frames are compatable with quicktime). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quicktime for a basic overview of the profile support. I suggest that you try playing the media with free softwares such as vlc http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and mplayer http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/news.html and check that the format and codecs are correct. Although they will play non standard files they will list the codecs in use (make sure that you are using ISO compliant standards as you can put more than MPEG 4 in mp4).
