Quicktime and VLC plugins cause annoying BEEPS

Both of these plugins cause an annoying and repeating beeping sound when I visit a certain web page. When both are disabled, the problem goes away. If I enable just one, the problem returns. I tried uninstalling both and reinstalled just one a a time and there was still beeping.
Please help!

Hi,
It could be because the page has that media type inside it and is activated when visiting. You can try to set '''plugins.click_to_play''' to true in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config about:config].

HT1338 movies played on a macbook pro stall for split seconds in quicktime and vlc. Anybody else?

movies played on a macbook pro stall for split seconds in quicktime and vlc. Anybody else?

Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with your computer. I have the same issue, and it is a bug. Sometimes a restart solves it. Sometimes and if you use subtitles, you will see the first line being displayed but the second one not, etc.
I have reported that to Apple and there is hope for a fix.

Possible issue with Quicktime and VLC

OK,I had updated my Quicktime(7.4)a couple weeks ago and ever since I can't seem to play any avi or mov files with VLC player. Most of the time I get audio but no picture. The error I get after about 5 seconds is "macosx: QT doesn't support any appropriate chroma" Anyone have an idea on how to remedy the problem? I try playing the avi and mov files in Quicktime but they're very choppy.

Suggest that you also post over in the VLC Forums.

Black screen with Quicktime and VLC, no codec?

I'm trying to view a mov file with QT Pro 7.5 or latest VLC and both show no video, only sound. In QT, when I ask for info to see codec, only says
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Uncompressed 10-bit 4:2:2, 720 x 486 (640 x 480), Millions
Any clues?

There is a near-incomprehensible explanation here:
http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/icefloe/dispatch025.html
Further investigation reveals this:
Common file formats and their endian order are as follows:
• Adobe Photoshop -- Big Endian
• BMP (Windows and OS/2 Bitmaps) -- Little Endian
• DXF (AutoCad) -- Variable
• GIF -- Little Endian
• IMG (GEM Raster) -- Big Endian
• JPEG -- Big Endian
• FLI (Autodesk Animator) -- Little Endian
• MacPaint -- Big Endian
• PCX (PC Paintbrush) -- Little Endian
• PostScript -- Not Applicable (text!)
• POV (Persistence of Vision ray-tracer) -- Not Applicable (text!)
• QTM (Quicktime Movies) -- Little Endian (on a Mac!)
• Microsoft RIFF (.WAV & .AVI) -- Both
• Microsoft RTF (Rich Text Format) -- Little Endian
• SGI (Silicon Graphics) -- Big Endian
• Sun Raster -- Big Endian
• TGA (Targa) -- Little Endian
• TIFF -- Both, Endian identifier encoded into file
• WPG (WordPerfect Graphics Metafile) -- Big Endian (on a PC!)
• XWD (X Window Dump) -- Both, Endian identifier encoded into file
I also discover that PowerPC processors are big-endian (most significant byte first); Intel x86 processors are little-endian (least significant byte first). AIFF is like PowerPC - it's big-endian. WAV is like x86 - it's little-endian.
Which leads me to suggest that Flip4Mac might be able to convert those files, although as you have a PPC processor you should be able to play them!

Safari 5.1 and flash plugin causes crash

After updating to Safari 5.1 , I could not get Safari to load ... it would load then crash... So I went to the global internet folders and removed everything and then Safari would load... after putting things back I discovered the flash plugin is causing Safari to crash... I have tried reinstalling the latest flash and still nothing helps... Am I missing something ? is there something else I should try ? I just want Safari to work like it did before I updated with Flash working so please refran from the ' just dont use flash ' remarks.... any help would sure be appreciated !
Thanks

it even fails on other accounts
That's an indication that the startup disk may need repairing.
From your admin account launch Disk Utility.
/Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then selec the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
Boot from your install disc if Disk Utility reported errors.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
If the startup disk is ok, try reinstalling Safari 5.1

What is a good media player to play DVD's besides iDVD, Quicktime and VLC? None of them let me play my DVD's?

Nothing will let me play real, store-bought DVD's? Is there any other options besides these 3?

If none of these are letting you play DVDs then you may have a hardware problem with your optical drive. Also, have you changed the region code at any time? If so, how many times have you changed it? There's a limit, you can only change the region code of the optical drive a maximum of 5 times.

QuickTime X plugins causing problems?

Still after trying to export videos from QuickTime X they appear as a black screen with no audio.
Could it be any of these plugins causing a problem?
Plugins:
AC3MovieImport
AppleAVCIntraCodec
AppleHDVCodec
AppleIntermediateCodec
AppleMPEG2Codec
AppleProResCodec
DivX Decoder
DivX Encoder
DVCPROHDCodec
FCP Uncompressed 422
IMXCodec
MayaIFF
Perian
I'm trying to export using QuickTime X presets with a variaty of different source files, but nothing uncommon.

So removing either Perian or DivX should resolve the problem?
It may or may not fix your particular problem—but, it would remove one possible source of conflict. Frankly, many people are experiencing "black" screen issues with the problem being blamed on everything from conflicts with installed hardware devices to issues with security updates to problems with FCP file output. Since you did not provide any work flow specifics, it is difficult to classify your particular problem.

Thanks, but I have done that. All the settings on the mini are identical to the iPad 3 & still the mini won't work properly. I'm sure it was something I had to change on servers to get both the Macbook & iPad 3 working, just wish I could remember what!! Any more suggestions welcome! Thanks

H.264 and Q7 Plugin Woes

I have posted in the Quicktime forum but have not gotten any response so I thought I would try here. I have several videos that I have compressed with H.264. They play perfectly via Q7 player, but when trying to play them via Firefox or IE, they crash the browser with a plugin error. The weird thing is that sometime they do play, but they crash the browser about 8 out of 10 times. Is anyone else seeing this? I have tried playing these on multiple computers, so I am pretty sure it is not a browser configuration problem as other videos play just fine. Only the ones encoded with H.264 seem to cause this crash. A final note, they didn't crash the browser when Q7 for Windows was in beta, only after the final release.
One of the videos in question: http://seanlperkins.com/movies/friends.mov
Again, sometimes it plays, try it several times, or other videos from my site....

thanks for the input. i understand the differences between various hardware setups/monitors/profiles causing variability in how images look, but the issue lies in that i am viewing the same video on the same compouter with the same monitor just with different software and it's being displayed differently. i have a hardware calibrated monitor (i am also a photographer) so i undestand color management with ICC profiles from a photographic perspective. unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a direct equivalency for video that i am aware of.
here is an example:
http://bold-creative.com/images/3.jpg
top left is youtube on chrome
top right is youtube on safari
bottom left is VLC
bottom right is quicktime X
see how desaturated safari and quicktime are vs chrome and VLC? chrome and VLC match FCP.
i thought it was maybe just how safari handled the video, but other youtube videos were identical when viewed next to each other on chrome and safari. this leads me to believe that it must be my file that is somewhow the culprit.

STILL no real answer to problems with QuickTime and Flash Player

The reply to Problems with QuickTime really didn't answer or solve the basic problem. Some sites to work at all require you to have working Flash Player 8 so when I try to use these sites I get the QuickTime logo with a question mark and then nothing. For all you experts on Apple and Mac; what is going on? Apple is the parent of QuickTime and I assume they want their customers happy with their work. So why is it so hard for these apparently small updates to their programs causing entire sites being blocked off? I have OS x 10.3.9 on a G4 iMac 855mHrz .... It seems that even though we, the customer by default become Apples program testers;the actual programers are never given the go ahead to actualy look at these problem posts. Has anyone ever gotten a solution for a problem they posted here from one of the programmers of the product? It would be nice to know we aren't left to our own devices when it comes to program gliches from the source. If the powers that be in apple are watching and willing to help; any time now is a good time to just but in on the conversation and help solve some of the problems us little people keep on running into.--------------
While online I run into sites that will NOT work without Flash Player 8 (which costs over $150.00) which is told to the viewer with a QuickTime logo with a question mark in it.
This leads the web surfer to try to upgrade or at least investigate Flash Player in their computer and it's version.When said web surfer looks at Flash player upgrade for bucks and the fact that in some way it is tied to QuickTime, web surfer gets real curious. Do the web masters for those sites know that their site is now blocked off? If any major portion ( say 30 or 40 % ) of the web surfing crowd is required to purchase an upgrade to Flash Player even though it doesn't look like Apple is the parent of said Flash Player; those web masters are going to be upset with Apple. Their income is tied to actuall access and browsing of a site, even if it is only to actually just get the Home page. With no access to the site due to no Flash Player 8, the web master is going to find those all important Hits going down to nil. -------
This post is way to broad for any one answer so I don't really expect one. But for you people who have run into similar problems with other programs and sites; I would love to hear if you got any help from other web surfers or from the parent people of those programs and/or sites. I know that my isp earthlink has helped out with problems faster than other groups involved. Anyway.. Any help or comment on this post ( or gripe if you prefer ) would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sorry, but you are completely misinformed. Flash Player 8 doesn't cost one red cent; it's only the Flash creation package that you have to pay for. You can download the free Flash Player 8 here.
QuickTime can natively handle some Flash content, which is why with the lack of the Flash player the browser defaults to the QT plugin. But Flash 8 is a relatively new format from Macromedia and I'm not sure QT supports it yet. Install the Flash 8 player and things should work just fine.
And just FYI, for questions about the Mac version of QuickTime, you'll be better off asking them in the QuickTime for Mac forum.

OSX Lion QuickTime Internet Plug-In causes high CPU load

I have OSX Lion installed.
Now I have a CPU load between 80 to 130% caused by the Quicktime internet plug-in if I watch my ip-camera with Safari. Also I get no Audio out of my ip-camera anymore. In SnowLeopard everything was fine, Safari CPU load at 30%. What is wrong ? Can anybody help me ? It is an Y-Cam Knight SD and a MacMini core 2 Duo.
Karsten Preussner from GERMANY

I had this same problem and couldn't get it to work at all. I tried to install the 3IVX plugin listed here and it didn't do anything. So I uninstalled it.
Then I thought to try my Macbook Pro and see if it was working on that computer, sure enough it was. I checked the HD/Library/Quicktime folder and it only had 4 items in it, whereas on the Mac Pro (that was not working) had 19 itmes in there. So, I moved all 19 out to a new folder and copied only the ones that were in the MBP. When I opened Safari IT WORKED!!! NO MORE PLUGIN FAILURE.
So, I must have just had too many old things in the quicktime folder that was causing it to fail.
Here is a screenshot of my HD/Library/Quicktime folder contents. The top folder shows the 4 items that should be in there (Perian is optional) and the bottom window in the screenshot shows all the stuff I previously had in there which caused the failure.
So If you are having this plugin failure, try removing all but these essentials from your HD/Library/Quicktime folder. It worked for me!

Quicktime (and iTunes) skip if uploading

ok. This is a little weird. For the past several months, QT and iTunes have trouble playing any format audio or video if I am uploading. For example, if I send an email with a bunch of pictures, itunes or QT will start stuttering. Processor usage doesn't increase, and it really shouldn't. But when the upload is done, everything returns to normal. If I use something that is not dependant on QT (like VLC or mplayer) everything works fine.
repair permissions didn't change anything and this was before I installed divx 6 and flip4mac free.
Any ideas or anyone else come across this?
DP800 MDD. plenty of RAM and HD space.

are you sure you have completely uninstalled quicktime? there is a problem with a file in the qt folders that cannot be deleted. sometimes it makes it imposible to uninstall completely, weather it is tried with control pannel or the new installer. to be sure QT has been completely removed you need to check "program files\quicktime". if there is a folder for quicktime and it still has a file (or several) in it, it won't allow the complete uninstall of the program, which in turn makes it impossible to install the newer version. If you have a quicktime folder then follow my quoted instructions below to reinstall quicktime. once you have reinstalled QT, you can reinstall/update itunes. hope this works for ya

{quote:title=Thermos017 wrote:}
the problem is caused by a file that cannot be deleted in the quicktime folder, and is very easy to fix.
if you search for "CFCharacterSetBitmaps.bitmap" or navigate to "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem" you will find the file. as i said, it cannot be deleted, however it can be moved to another location on the c drive. move the file to your desktop or anywhere outside the program files folder, then run the install again. Be sure you cut/paste the file to another location. drag & drop will only copy the file, and will leave the problem file in its original location.
if the install still fails, then you'll have to double check that the file mentioned above was not regenerated in the install attempt (repeat instruction in paragraph2), and remove the QT program through control panel. once the file is removed, the control panel can remove the whole program, then the reinstall will work just fine. {quote}

VLC Plugin 2.1.3 crashes constantly

I have 4 streams on all the time in Mozilla Firefox. I'm using VLC to get stream from a couple of Raspberry Pis and it works fine for a while. Then VLC plugin stopsworking, I stop the plugin and refresh the website and boom, it works again for a while.
Is there any way to fix this issue? It's starting to get frustrating.

That seems a slightly unusual use of Firefox.
Try in Firefox's safe mode and with all plugins except VLC disabled. Does it still crash ? If so please provide a couple of the CrashIDs
If the problem is caused by the VLC plugin crashing I am not sure we will be able to help.

FCPX causes system beep during program startup

Just today FCPX seems to be causing a beep in my computer when I startup the program.. I also just had one when I shut dowb the program.
It seems to beep when Compressor Settings are laoding in FCPX.
I trashed all of my preferences for FCPX, Compressor, and Motion.
I also thought hat it might be a problem with my FXFactory Plug. I realized that there was an update the otehr day, whcih I assume was for the FCPX update.
I downloaded that and still got the beep.
I also downloaded my Coremelt V2 plugins again as well.
Any ideas?
Thank,
Michael

BTW this is just an upate to the above message, as I forgot to mention a few things.
Just today FCPX seems to be causing a beep in my computer when I startup the program.. I also just had one when I shut down the program.
It seems to beep when Compressor Settings are loading in FCPX.
I am thinking that it's an issue with a plugin, as I checked the Console and noticed this "Cannot find function pointer NewPlugIn for factory"
The entire laod code is below.
I trashed all of my preferences for FCPX, Compressor, and Motion.
I also thought hat it might be a problem with my FXFactory Plug. I realized that there was an update the other day, which I assume was for the FCPX update.
I downloaded that and still got the beep.
I also downloaded my Coremelt V2 plugins again as well.
Any ideas?
