Quicktime controls

I have some movies, some made w/ H.265 codec, some with Animation codec (I doubt if that matters), which I am trying to embed in an HTML page. I have tried lots and lots of code, from very simple Object and Embed codes to more complicated code-sets.
No matter what I do, I cannot see the control strip, the Quicktime plug-in does not display the play/pause panel under the movie. Of course, I have set the controller attribute to "true" in my code.
The H.265 (codec) movies I made were created from iMovie. (These do not show the control strip either.) My browser is Safari, but I tried it in Mozilla and the result is the same. I tried both opening various HTML page attempts internally on my computer, and also tried uploading the files and opening the page from the internet.
Barring switching to a different plug-in to play a Quicktime movie (.mov), I have tried everything and searched the web for clues as to the source of the problem all day. Nothing seems to work.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
- Frustrated.

First, thanks for replying! (Just to have a bit of feedback from someone out there is truly appreciated.)
Here are 4 different html pages with different code which all play the movie - none display the control strip on my (Safari) browser however.

  • How do I locate the quicktime control panel (to upgrade to quicktime pro) in Windows 7 home premium?

    I just paid to upgrade QuickTime and received a registration code. Tho problem is there is no way to find the QuickTime control panel via the Windows 7 Home Premium control panel. How to I ovrcome this?
    p.s. I'm a newbe to QuickTime :-)

    Thanks Gary,
    This does not help me... the instructions state:
    1. Locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel
    From the Windows Desktop, click on the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel, then locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel.
    However, I cannot locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel on the Windows 7 control panel -- it's not listed anywhere in the available options.

  • "Movie" template - odd quicktime controls & login

    I have created a web site in iWeb 08, and on one part of the site I have links to six pages that use the "movie" template. Three of these have 640x480 videos, about a 50MB file, and three of them have 320x240 videos, about 25MB files. I have password security set at the site level for these pages.
    On the Mac:
    1) Clicking the link to go to any of the movie pages throws up the login dialogue box. I don't have to put in my password, if I just click login on the blank dialogue, it proceeds to the page. But why throw up the dialogue at all when I'm already authenticated at the site level? This seems to be something about Safari, as Firefox works properly.
    2) The quicktime controls on the embedded movie don't work as they should. Left-clicking the play button does nothing. However, right clicking plays the movie. Everything works as if the mouse buttons are switched. I can, however, double left-click in the movie and it plays/pauses. This is true whether I am in Safari or Firefox.
    On the PC using Internet Explorer 7:
    1) The security works as expected - no dialogue for the movie pages, just for the site as you would think.
    2) The quicktime controls work like you'd expect.
    Bottom line - the site works as I designed it on PC, but not Mac. Is there something wrong with the Quicktime plugin for Safari and Firefox? Does Safari have issues with the security from iWeb?
    BTW, I am at the newest versions of all products, including Leopard, Quicktime, Safari, Firefox. The PC I tested with is running Windows XP.
    Anyone with similar problems or insights into this problem?
    Thanks!

    Long story.
    It helps to solve one problem at a time.
    First remove the protection.
    Then make the movies work.
    Also it helps if you provide a link to the pages. Most of us here are not clairvoyant.

  • Cant access quicktime control panel

    I may be stupid or somethin, but I can't find the **** quicktime control panel to upgrade to the pro version.
    I looked through my computer's control panel, there is only one user on it, but it looks like there is also an old administrator user there too.
    There isn't anything about quicktime in my control panel, and I looked through the quicktime files in the c drive and didn't see anything about a control panel there either. Somebody got an idea? Because I just spent a worthless 39 dollars, and am seriously considering making the switch to linux.

    Thanks. I do have a lot of appreciation for the macintosh-expecially since they came out with the os x. There's no doubt about it, it will be my next computer. If only I could get one at work.
    But until I can afford that new computer, it's easy to convert my windows machine into that friendly linux that I'm getting used to.
    There's no mistaking that Apple is the best in the business. But with windows, it's always one thing after another. I bought a new computer a year ago, the one I had lasted me 6 years, was expecting this one to do the same. But alas, a few viruses later it was toast. HP didn't give me the software to start over, so I had to do a system restore. Needless to say I don't have time to dig through my entire hard drive deleting the remains of the virus. But hey-no problem, because I have another one on there now.
    And AIM is causing some wierd things to happen with the ui, among many other problems I constantly have.
    So, instead of buying a new version of windows xp, which I can only re-install twice, I'm switching to my friendly linux. Then when I can, it's apple.
    I really think the only reason people don't switch to the mac is because the first time you use it, it's different enough to be confusing or even frustrating. But after the first week, anybody should be using one with confidence. Some people might need some kind of tutorial or something.

  • Exception Error from the Quicktime control panel/Update

    When I press the Update button under the Update tab, I get the following error:
    An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDD "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"
    Quicktime seems to run correctly and says I have version 7.4.1 installed, so I'm not really worried as I wind up having to manually install any updates anyways. Also, I have automatic updates disabled, I have removed the autoupdater from my startup (slowed down my windows loading), and since that Bonjour service is annoying and nonessential, I have turned it off as well.
    If any of these are the reason for the error, I'm willing to live with it. Just thought I'd let you know about the update error.

    +When I press the Update button under the Update tab, I get the following error:+
    +An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\Windows\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDD "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl",QuickTime"+
    Do you have an nVidia video card in that PC, Drakaran? That seem to be the common factor for people with the Update tab crash with 7.3.1, 7.4 and (presumably) 7.4.1 (and also the crash when they try using "Help > Update Existing Software" instead of using the Update tab in the control panel).
    One way around it (for some folks) is to go to the Advanced tab in their QuickTime control panel, and check "Safe mode (GDI only)". With that setting in place, OK out of the control panel, restart QuickTime and try another check for updates.

  • Interactive slideshow with custom Quicktime control

    Hi
    I have huge amount of pics that I want to present. Therefore I decided to do it with a Quicktime Movie slideshow. Instead of using the given Quicktime Controls in the Property Inspector I rather would like my own control buttons. I tried it with the Quicktime Behaviors from the Library. The play button worked fine, but the forward and backward button did not. What might be the problem?
    Regards
    Simon

    That QT button behavior won't do what you want. It does a lot different things but its not designed to move one frame forward or back. A behavior like this wil do the job. Depending on your QT movie, you may need to adjust the number of frames that are moved each time the button is used. This is the next frame behavior:
    property QTSprite
    property thisDuration
    property thisMember
    property customCursor
    property thisSprite
    on getPropertyDescriptionList
      myPropList = [:]
      myPropList.addProp(#QTSprite,[#comment:"enter the Quicktime sprite number:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
      myPropList.addProp(#customCursor,[#comment:"pick a cursor:",#format:#cursor,#default:280])
      return myPropList
    end
    on beginSprite me
      thisSprite = me.spriteNum
      thisMember =  sprite(QTSprite).member
      thisDuration = thisMember.duration
      sprite(thisSprite).cursor = customCursor
    end
    on endSprite me
      sprite(thisSprite).cursor = 0
    end
    on mouseUp me
      if sprite(QTSprite).movieTime < thisDuration then
        sprite(QTSprite).movieTime = sprite(QTSprite).movieTime + 1
      end if
    end
    and this is the previous button behavior:
    property QTSprite
    property thisMember
    property customCursor
    property thisSprite
    on getPropertyDescriptionList
      myPropList = [:]
      myPropList.addProp(#QTSprite,[#comment:"enter the Quicktime sprite number:",#format:#integer,#default:""])
      myPropList.addProp(#customCursor,[#comment:"pick a cursor:",#format:#cursor,#default:280])
      return myPropList
    end
    on beginSprite me
      thisSprite = me.spriteNum
      thisMember =  sprite(QTSprite).member
      sprite(thisSprite).cursor = customCursor
    end
    on endSprite me
      sprite(thisSprite).cursor = 0
    end
    on mouseUp me
      if sprite(QTSprite).movieTime > 1 then
        sprite(QTSprite).movieTime = sprite(QTSprite).movieTime - 1
      end if
    end
    Try these and see if they work for you.

  • Quicktime Controls Not Working in Browser

    The Quicktime controls, play button, scrub bar, etc., do not work when I play a video in a browser. The controls display and react to clicks, but do not affect the playback of the video. I'm running 10.4.11 with QT plugin version 7.4 in Firefox 2.0.0.11.
    It seems like this mostly occurs with Oreilly's Safari training videos. Other videos like Apple QT trailers play okay.
    Firefox does play the video correctly sometimes which seems like its the first time during a day that I play it near as I can figure. Restarting Firefox doesn't help.
    In Safari 3.0.4, the controls work with errors such as the play button rewinding the video.

    Maybe this will give somebody else some clues. I'm trying to display .TIFF files within IE7 or Firefox using the appropritate plugin for each. I'm on Vista32. Have installed latest ITunes and QT. Seems to be a problem with file associations with QT. Vista associations show FF as default player for .TIFF (same thing if I switch to IE7). QT MIME settings agree that FF or IE7 are default app for .TIFF. In both FF and IE7, "opening" a .TIFF file with either IE7 or FF causes QT to get control of the browser window and does not display the .TIFF file (as it used to for both FF and IE7). The .TIFF file is opening correctly with other apps, only having a problem with browser plugins. Not sure how to fix this, so will probably give up on .TIFF files in browsers for a while and see if somthing in QT gets fixed. I'm using QT Player v7.6.4 (518.35)and FF v3.5.2 and IE7 with all maint. Evidence says QT is getting control even though it should not be and is getting in the way of valid plugins.
    I can however, start IE7 and manually point to a .MOV file and QT uses the QT plugin and plays the .MOV file ok. The same thing happens with FF. Open FF and manually point to a .MOV file and QT plays it ok. The problem for me is QT getting in the way of .TIFF file displays. The QT troubleshooting page shows QT installed and running ok.

  • Some QuickTime Controls Won't Display in Safari

    I have a website created with iWeb and published to MobileMe. I'm running Snow Leopard.
    On my site I have about 15 audio files consisting of MP3s that I dragged onto web pages from out of iTunes. These were originally imported into iTunes from CDs.
    Most of these audio files on my web pages appear with QuickTime controls underneath them and play just fine. But in the case of five of the files, no QuickTime controls appear, only a QT icon with a question mark in it.
    This problem only occurs when I access my website from the MobileMe server. If I publish the site to my hard drive, all the audio files appear in my browser with QT controls and there is no problem.
    Also, the problem only occurs if I use Safari. Firefox displays the QT controls for all the audio files.
    Further, once I display a page with one of the audio files in Firefox, as long as I keep Firefox open, Safari will also display the QT controls for the file correctly.
    Other people who have tested my site with Windows and Internet Explorer have reported to me that they have no problem with any of the files.
    Here is the URL for one of the audio files that manifests the QT problem:
    http://web.me.com/dennwebb/DennisWebb/Greensleeves.html
    I am baffled by this problem, but it seems to be a problem with Safari.

    Maralyn,
    Coincidentally, I just found the solution to this problem that I posted. It was addressed by someone else on the forum back on May 5. Here is the link:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2420076&tstart=360
    I tested this solution out on my website and it fixed the problem perfectly. If you can't get this to work, post another reply and we can walk through what I did.

  • QuickTime Control Panel causes BSOD

    Installed the Quicktime 7.6.5. All went well (or so I thought). The next day on bootup, I received a notification that a driver condition caused a blue screen. O checking in the system logs, I found the actual problem was QuickTime control panel, so I removed the QuickTime from the system, after which I rebooted and removed all registry info and rebooted again. Problem solved here, but would like to see a rewrite of control panel and app support center to agree with the libraries that work with qt (quartz, etc) so the bluescreen will not occur.

    O checking in the system logs, I found the actual problem was QuickTime control panel,
    Interesting. When you used WinDbg (Windows debugging tools) to analyse your memory dump of the crash, did that confirm that the STOP error was caused by the QuickTime.cpl file?

  • QuickTime control of external devices like lights, fans

    I am looking for a way which a QuickTime movie playing on a Mac can at certain timecodes trigger external events, such as turning on or off lights in a room. Nothing super-fancy but some combination of software and hardware that can send simple on/off commands to electrical outlets.

    Unfortunately, no. You see what I was getting at, getting QuickTime to generate triggers that something else could handle. Trouble is, I don't know what that "something else" might be.
    It's got to be do-able, though. This is basic show-controller stuff. Timecode-based controllers have been used to operate AMX-type lighting controls, motion bases, environmental controls, and just about anything else you can think of, literally for decades. To be able to trigger those controls based on a synchronized event track in a QuickTime movie seems to be a pretty obvious step.
    I suppose another option if you're really clever would be to develop an "event track handler" for QuickTime that would allow you to create a specific event track using whatever syntax you require for your devices. But that makes it a system level programming project. I know I'm not quite that clever!

  • Quicktime controls disappear and I can't get them back, in Lion.

    When I open a movie in Quicktime 10.1, in Lion, the play controls are there on the movie. As soon as I start the movie and move the cursor they disappear, as they are supposed to, but if I move the cursor back over the movie the controls do not come back and I cannot control the movie. When the movie ends there are still no controls. I can't seem to find any Preferences or settings to contol QT's behavior at all. What is the solution to this?
    thanks,
    Jack

    I'm having the exact same issue. I lanch a video in QuickTime Player (Version 10.2 - 603.6) and the title bar and player controls are there as expected. Note I'm in the windowed mode (not full screen). I click play within the player contorls and the video start playing. I move my cursor out of the window bounds and the player controls and title bar disappear. So far all of this is normal. But if I bring my cursor back within the window area, the player controls and title bar never reappear. I try everything- clicking in the window area, moving my cursor in and out, bring the QuickTime app into focus, etc. Nothing will bring the controls back. I can tell that the are really there, because if I click where the play/pause button should be, the video will play or pause. I can even click where the scrub bar should be and the video will jump to that part of the video.
    I've tried using the third command (Always show titlebar/controller) on this page:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=775514
    defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGUIVisibilityNeverAutohide 1
    and that dose cause the controler and title bar to stay on the screen at all times. But that’s not what I want- I want it to disappear when my cursor is out of the window (which is the normal behavior). If I run the command to undo it:
    defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGUIVisibilityNeverAutohide 0
    that will return QuickTime to the same messed up functionality. I'm running OS 10.8.2 on a 2012 Mac Mini. I also found other people on the boards that seems to be having the same problem from years ago so it seem like it might be a long-standing problem. Any thoughts?

  • Safari not displaying Quicktime controls.

    Since changing to Snow Leopard and Quicktime 10, Safari is no longer displaying the controls, or playing the audio on my website. Firefox handles the embed code fine, and Safari under Leopard does too. My code matches what is suggested on Apple's site so I am out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Try posting in the QuickTime forums too.
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=122
    Try deleting these files also.
    com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
    com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX.plist
    ~/Library/Preferences.
    Move those files to the Trash and see if that makes a difference.

  • Can't open quicktime control panel...among other issues w/ QuickTime/iTunes

    I download itunes and then try to open it and before it opens and error occurs causing it to close. all other apps seem functional except quicktime. I can't open it under control panel (An exception occurred while trying to run “C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
    “C:\WINDOWS\system32\QuickTime.cpl”, QuickTime”) and when I try to open it from the START menu I get "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # - 2095". Any ideas on how to fix this so I can get QuickTime and iTunes working? Thanks for the help.

    I have exactly the same problem!!
    Been on this site since Dec 26th and still can't get ipod to work.
    You would think Apple would have a help line!
    If you solve yours please let me know how you did it, and I will do likewise.
    Thanks

  • Quicktime Controls Not Responding!

    So here is my first little attempt at createing a page, nothing much just messing around a bit. however the quicktime files play fine in iweb application, but are unresponsive in browser??? any thoughts?
    http://web.mac.com/mattsing/iWeb/Site%203/HOME.html
    Thanks

    Mate Its a huge qt movie so that may be part of the problem but it feels like there may be something over the top of it like a shape preventing any clicking. Did you have one there? Can you see anything over it? Click on it and do a bring to the front on it and see if that works. Otherwise the movie is controled by a .js file that you can look at and see what the controls for it are. I have a video tutorial on that on my site (free) at www.australianmac.com
    click on the tutorials at the top and look for iWeb 06

  • I have a problem with the QuickTime controles

    Hi,
    When I play the WWDC 09 video, and go to full screen mode it would not give me the video controls. However, when I am in normal mode it will give me the controls. I repaired QuickTime and the same thing happens; also, I even uninstalled from my PC and reinstalled it, same thing happens. What could be the causing this problem?

    One export will not serve all those purposes. You export to QuickTime Movie to take the master file to your DVD authoring application. You use JES Deinterlacer on the exported file for high quality computer playback without interlacing. You need to recompress for the web. There options are enormous and you should research this thoroughly.

Maybe you are looking for
