QuickTime files have EXACT same specifications, one plays, other doesn't

Alright...some new info. I found two files in iTunes--one would play and the other wouldn't. I tried to open each in QT, QT 7 Pro, VLC, DiVX player, with the same results--one worked, one did not.
I opened Get Info on each .mov file and EVERY IMPORTANT DATA POINT was the same.
Kind: QuickTime Movie
Dimensions: 640 x 480
Codecs: H264, ACC
Color profile: SD (6-1-6)
Audio channels: 1
I could Read and Write on both.
So how would one file play and the other one just play audio?
I'm obviously missing something. I'd truly apprecate some insight.
THANKS!

What is the video data rate? What is the profile? What is the level? Which entropy mode does it use? What other data tracks are embedded in the file that would trigger the missing codec error? Or can you simply post a copy of the file for further examination?

Ok, so I want to buy the new iPod touch 5g this week and I have an iPhone 4. I want to transfer all the data from the phone to the iPod and have the files the exact same. I don't want to redo data, say erase game data (campaigns, achievements)...

I don't want to redo data, say erase game data (campaigns, achievements)... I have apps that have very important data on them and if I sync it to iTunes and then transfer all that data to the iPod Touch 5g, will that erase app data?

Can you buy any type of external HDD and it'll work with any mac or do you have to buy specific ones that cost like €999?

You can buy any disk with FireWire, Thunderbolt or USB. If you've got a 2010 or early MacBook Pro, buy a FireWire disk, or if you've a newer computer, a Thunderbolt disk. They'll be faster than the USB, but you can buy an USB hard disk

HT1926 Have the same problem as many other users: tried to update iTunes on Windows 7 today; first message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 1

I have the same problem as many other users: updated iTunes on Windows 7 on Jan 26, 2014 and iTunes does not open. First message "unable to locate component- MSVCR80.dll was not found" then "iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes - Error 7 (Windows error 126)". When will Apple fix this? Don’t feel like uninstalling all Apple software and then re-installing it as suggested, as I am on a terribly slow internet connection while travelling in the DR Congo.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

2 QT files, diff aspect ratios, only one plays!!

I have two quicktime movie files exported from my Mac-based video editing system (Avid Media Composer 2.7). They are both identical in every single way except for their frame size / aspect ratio.
Common stats:
Audio = 16-bit, stereo, 48 KHz
Video = Sorenson Video 3, Millions of colors, 29.97 fps
Data rate = both around 7840 kbits/s
Length = 22;10
DIFFERENCE:
Format = Movie "AA" is 720x486. "BB" is 864x486.
Those same measurements are under 'Normal Size' and 'Format Size' as well.
These files were sent to a digital transfer house. The technician there said that "AA" can play on his PC system, but "BB" can't. He's using Quicktime 7. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Tried opening them on the PC system we have here. "AA" is fine, "BB" doesn't work. It doesn't even open, get this error: "Error -2048. This file is not a movie file.".
Both open fine on our Macs

1. If I use it to import video from my DV cam, it always starts with a very small video size instead of the nativ video resolution (DV Pal) and always with quality set to low.
Do you check/set the "Native Device" Preference BEFORE attempting the capture. Also, since QT capture is dependent on CPU power, would not normally recommend it as your primary means of video capture.
3. If I export an avi file from QT, the file is useless (with QT or any other app) untill I doctor it with ffmpegX or D-Vision.
AVI files may contain any number of audio/video compression formats including muxed and MP3/MPEG layer-3 not supported in QT without installation of the appropriate third party proprietary codecs.
4. If I encode a video with the H264 codec no other app than QT (e.g. VLC) can playback the file. (If I use ffmpegX and encode a video with H264 I can playback it with all apps).
There are three distinct work flows which will create H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) files. Which one are you using and for what are you targeting the output?
WHY??? QT should be the link between all video processing programs - but it's completely useless because it's so buggy!
QT is a simple control head utility for playback which, when properly registered, allows elementary editing of compatible frame-to-frame synchronized files by direct access/manipulation of the system's QT Tools package.
1. Is there another app to capture/import video data from DV cams
Check out the free "Vidi" utility at http://mitzpettel.com/software/vidi.php to see if it might meet your needs.
2. Does QT only work with NTSC resolutions when dealing with interlaced video? Or is there an option somewhere to force it to keep the material interlaced?
May be "Video Source" preference dependent. Don't have a PAL camera, so the question never came up in my testing.

How do I resolve inconsistent color definition message even if all my files have the same definition

All of the files in my book have the same exact color definiti
ons: New Color1. Yet I keep getting the inconsistent color definition messag
es every time I go to print or regenerate my toc. I still get results but It's annoying!

Does EACH document have the SAME definition of NewColor1? Having the same name does not imply that they are the same definition.
Try opening the first document in the book. Then select all the documents in the book file and import the color definitions from the opened file. This will make all the documents have the same definitions as in the first document.

Exported quicktime files have video & audio out of sync

I am using FCP with a Sony HVR-Z1E. All seems ok in my edit etc but if I try to export my edit to a quicktime file using the quicktime conversion option the audio and video are out of sync on quicktime. If I export using quick time movie option, all is fine as this file is played back by FCP. I have tried different settings but I cant get the audio to be in sync with the video. My settings are HDV 1080i50 on my 15" Macbook Pro
Thanks for any help
Regards Alf

You can open your "quicktime movie" (not qt conversion) in quicktime player. Simply control click on the file in the finder and choose open with... Try that and let us know if the file is in synch.

How can I have exact same tag information in Windows and i-Tunes???

When I check the "properties" of my mp3 files in Windows I don't see the same information as when I click "get info" in i-Tunes. I've tried "convert ID3 tags" in i-Tunes, but it all just gets very complicated... Please, please help!!!

I have a similar issue using iTunes.
I use both Media Monkey and Adio Tags Editor to tag my mp3s and all my music is tagged correctly, 'NAME' has the Track name and 'ARTIST' has the Artists name etc.
When I import my music into iTunes the Track name info is all correct, however, The 'ARTIST' info comes up as 'Various' and this only happens for the compilations. Is this a known issue?, I am still using iTunes 6.0.0.8
Again, in Winamp, MediaPlayer etc the tags are correct. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the response, Peggy. I didn't find a 10 ^ update on the update, but I did update Java to Update 7. I then followed your directions to delete the Appleworks preferences. However, I still have the same problem. Any other suggestions. My wife real

Thanks for the response, Peggy. I didn't find an update for the update of OA X10.6, but I did update Java to update 7. I also followed your instructions and deleted the preferences files. However, I still get the same dialog box: "Appleworks 6 Quit Unexpectedly". Any other ideas.? Many thanks,

I have an iPhone 5 and the new-style proper apple earphones will not work in it. Other cheaper earphones will but they are awful, and I have tried the apple ones in other phones and apple devices and they work fine as earphones, so why not in my iPhone?

so basically the official apple headphones work in other iPads, iPhones and computers but they won't work in my iPhone 5. So does this mean there is an issue with my jack? But why do any other alternative earphones work and it's just the apple ones which don't? I'm a little confused and really I'd like the proper ones to work because they produce the best quality sound. Help please!

Could be a contact problem. There are certain places inside the headset port where proper contact is needed for the various functions the Apple headset has, for example the Remote/microphone unit that cheaper headphones don't have.
You should have your phone checked by an Authorized Apple Service provider or by visiting an Apple Store next to your place.

Hotmail account keeps getting overridden by an espn page. I have reset Firefox and still have the same trouble. Any other suggestions? I use Mac OS X

I am unable to keep my hotmail account open. Several minutes after I have logged in, the hotmail inbox page diverts to an espn page. I have to completely shut down the entire page to get away from the espn site.
I have reset FireFox and I am still having the same issue.
This just started today. My hotmail account works perfectly in safari.

hello lurch, just for reference, another user has reported the same issue on a windows pc: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/930290
could you please copy all the content from help > troubleshooting information and paste that into your next reply. thank you...

TS1559 i do have exactly this problem - but this resolution doesn't work at all - any other ideas?

WLAN as well as Bluetooth stoped working after update to 7.0.3

Final Cut Express was discontinued about 18 months ago, before the release of Lion (10.7). It is no longer a supported product and was never supported on Lion, nor on Mountain Lion.
While some FCE users have had success running FCE on Lion, many have reported problems including problems with chroma keying. I do not recall any solution to the chroma keying problem, but you might try searching this Forum to see what others have discovered or tried.
Final Cut Pro X is the app supported on Lion & Mountain Lion, and the future direction Apple has taken. Since your computer lab has already moved to Lion (10.7.5) and presumably will move to Mountain Lion in the future, you should begin the process of moving to Final Cut Pro X. I appreciate there are implications for cost, training, inconvenience and re-doing lesson plans. But technology moves on and at some point we need to move with it too.

Playing QuickTime file burned to DVD Slow

Hello,
I have burned a 3gig quicktime file to DVD. When I play it from the DVD, it is stuttering,stops plays, stops. It is basically useless when played from the DVD play. This is on my iMac. When played from directly on my iMac it is fine.
How do i resolve this?
thanks

Hi, Xotol. The problem is not that the drive won't burn comments to DVDs; it's that you need to use a format for the DVDs that preserves all the Mac file metadata, including those comments. I'm not conversant with all the different DVD formats (I've only ever burned plain data DVDs), but someone who is (or the Toast manual) should be able to tell you whether there's a format you can select that preserves all Mac file metadata. A key factor probably is whether the discs you burn will be usedc only on Macs, or whether they need to be Windoze-compatible and/or play on standard DVD player devices. If either of the latter is true, the Comments field may just not be the right place to put your copyright notice. There's no place in a PC's file system for Mac metadata, and I have no idea whether a standard DVD player can read Mac Comments at all.

All my media files have same name

I was working on my project on Final Cut Studio.
Coming along okay.
Saved the project, went out for an hour.
Came back, opened project, and got a "Reconnect Files" message. In other words, one of my files was (is) missing, and I had to look for it in the hardrive.
Don't know why that happened.
So, I click, "Reconnect", browse to my Hard drive, and I see that all my media files have the same name! except they each have a different number at the end, that is, media file1, media file2, etc. I had given them all different names when I captured the video.
Anyway, I cannot find the file that's missing, nor do I know why the files changed names.
Any ideas why this happened?? I don't mind having to re-capture the missing file, it's just one file. I would mind if it was several. But I would like to know if anyone knows why this occurred, why did i lose this one file.
Thank you.

Where are you capturing to? How are you capturing? What are you naming your clip when you capture? Have you set a limit on capture size? Why?

My dad bought an iPhone 4S, and I have the exact same model. Neither of us have the iOS6 update. His phone has 4G, mine doesn't. He also has more features than I. Why is that?

Both of you should update to iOS 6 and then you will be
the same if you have the same model iPhone.
