Quicktime ***** for internet videos!

When i'm lookin at videos online, Quicktime player goes to another page to play the video automatically and i don't want that to happen because it goes onto another page and is in a small screen that i can't make bigger. How can i just have windows media player to play the videos all together instead of quicktime player...?

You can adjust that in your web browser. If you're using Firefox, go into Tools > Options > Content > File Types and configure as you please. You can make Windows media player the default if you want. If my instructions are wrong, you can find the right information at: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/faq.html
If you're using another web browser... good luck.

Want to use Quicktime for Internet Playback but i cant

Hi
I want to use Quicktime in Firefox or Camino for Internet Playback of MP3 files but i cant change it!
Dont know whats wrong here. Everytime i want to listen to an MP3 Track RealPlayer comes in and does the job...
All the searching through the net didnt help much. :'(
Maybe someone knows how i can fix this.
Thanks in advance!
Zettt
[EDIT:]
The site which causes the trouble is www.myownmusic.de

That Site has coded the html to call the Real Player plug-in. You could look at the source code, find the .mp3 file (and its complete URL) and open that URL in the QuickTime Player.
May not be worth the effort. I am able to view the entire .mp3 URL in Safari's Activity window and use copy/paste to the QT Player's "Open URL" dialog.

Using Quicktime for all Video Types

I'm trying to use Quicktime for some WMV files, and I downloaded the "flip4mac" program, but it still isn't working. I can open the video and play it on Quicktime, but I can't skip around or anything. Is there something else I need?

If you happen to own a copy of Microsoft Office it contains Windows Media Player for Mac. It is only selected when doing the custom installation. It does not install during the standard install. Even when you select it, you will have to run the installer to get it to run. Once it is set up it works fine.
I have also used Flip 4 Mac with no issues and recently started using VLC, which is also needed if you use Handbrake to rip DVD's.

780x420 to 400x300 for internet video?

FCE outputs at 720 x 480, which looks good on DVD, but distorted (stretched somewhat) online when I know the size down to 450 x 300. It looks better at 400x300, so I'm exporting them this way, which obviously changes the aspect ratio. Will this cause me to lose sharpness, or anything else?
How should I export videos so they don't look distorted online?
Thanks,
Doug Dye

customizing the size in this way won't affect the perceived 'sharpness' as you're making it smaller not stretching it but your methods of compression and settings you use will.
If you're outputting for Youtube, the 100mb limit will mean quality will take a massive hit - particularlyy if you approach the 10 min time limit - better to split into 2 x 5 min parts if this is the case. Search the forum for different methods of compression for Youtube - there's laods of posts.
If it's not for Youtube and you're not restricted by file size or time, you'll still run into compression woes as you'll not want to make people wait too long for the video to load.

Quicktime for Internet Explorer 64-bit not working?

The past couple days I was doing some testing on a computer running Windows 7 64-bit. I noticed that while using Internet Explorer, any embedded Quicktime media would prompt the surfer to download Quicktime when in fact it's already installed on the system.
When I'd approve the download/installation anyhow I'd get a brief pause, then nothing. No error message, but IE still did not have QT capabilities. Tried multiple times, still no luck.
Is QT even compatible with IE 64-bit? It's a concern for me not because I actually use IE (and certainly don't want to get into an argument over the merits of various OSs and browsers), but because I'm presenting a large archive of Quicktime videos and I want them to be compatible with a variety surfers' systems.

Good-O.
Working on the principle that this might be caused by some subtle damage to the QuickTime program files relating to ActiveX controls, I think we should try a clean uninstall/reinstall of QuickTime, taking a few other explicit precautions along the way (just in case).
First, download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTime installer from the Apple Website. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet. Get the installer that doesn't mention iTunes.)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Now head into your Uninstall a program control panel. Uninstall QuickTime.
Next we'll clear away any leftover program files and folders.
In "Computer" open "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive you have your *program files* installed on.
Open the "Program Files (x86)" folder.
Right-click on the "QuickTime" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete").
Go back into "Local Disk C:" or whichever drive you have your *operating system* installed on.
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "SysWOW64" folder.
Right-click on the QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx files (if they still exist) and select "Delete".
Restart the PC.
After the PC restarts, do not open any applications (especially not either of the IE 8 browsers). Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software. (Firewall, antivirus, antispyware.)
Now start the QuickTime reinstall by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
(This may also update your Apple Application Support to version 1.3.0 ... I'm not sure whether or not the QT 7.6.6 installer bundle has been modified to include the new version yet.)
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
Did the QuickTime install seem to go through okay?
If so, fire up the 64-bit version of IE 8 and browse to a website containg QuickTime content ... like Apple.com, for example. Do you get asked by IE to install the ActiveX component this time around? If so, does it install properly this time?

QT6 or QT7 for internet video?

Further to my earlier post I see compressor offers QT6 and QT7 (featuring H264) settings- what is the best option for compressing DV/HDV footage- if I chose the H264 codec would that offer superior visuals but at the same time would that not allow some users without QT7 to see the videos?
And another thing- how do I start a podcast... thought I'd mention it while I'm here...
Again, many thanks for any help.

QT6 doesn't support h.264.
If that's an issue stay with mpeg1 or mpeg4 in 6.
Just to backtrack a little to make video for the internet what is the best way of doing it? I assumed using QT; and then within this using a particular codec; like MGEG 4. Would this be correct? There seems to be little info on this in the Compressor 2 help and the discussions here- I like the sound of using H264 but is this going to restrict our viewers to apple only?
And yes, I see there is a wealth of info on podcasting- I just thought I'd mention it while I was here.
Again, many thanks

How to compress a .mov into a QuickTime for Internet sending?

My sequence exported as a .mov file is too big to send via YouSendit. I tried the Settings: QuickTime Compatible 7 in Compressor and the new file was 4.3 Size instead of 16.9. Same thing when I tried to compress it into an MPEG 4. I'm working on Final Cut Pro version 6 on my MacBook Pro laptop. Can you help please?

How big do you want it to be? Is quality of any concern? Does it need to be full resolution?
I assume you're uploading the file for someone to download; not for actual posting/viewing on the web. If that is correct, is this a draft copy for client review or the final product?

Compression Recommendations for Internet Video

I'm working with standard definition DV in Final Cut, and am looking to export it in the highest possible quality for uploading to sites like YouTube and Vimeo. I've used Compressor before, but know very little about what it can do. The problem is that an export takes a long time, so experimenting is something I'd rather not do.
I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations about what settings to use for this kind of project. I'm assuming I should do it in H.264, but beyond that, like what kind of deinterlacing to use, I'm at a loss.

Have a look at Apple's tutorial; Creating Amazing Video Content with H.264,
Have a look here too: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7928935&#7928935
Good luck!

HELP CONVERTING FCP TO QUICKTIME FOR WEBSITE VIDEO

I'm trying to convert a FCP movie to a Quicktime MOV to place on a website. I'm looking to get something around 320x280 and around 5mb. Everytime I do the conversion, I'm ending up with files between 60-76mb. Can someone please tell me what settings I need to use. There are so many to choose from and I am BRAND NEW TO FCP!!! Please help!!!

really? Is this conclusion from personal experience.
Don't take it personally, but there's alot of
misinformation floating around. I haven't tried it
with h.264 encoding but with something like cinepak
(which I have tried) framerate makes a big
difference in file size.
Yup - I compressed a 3:36 DV file to H.264 using both "Broadband Medium" in QT Pro and "H.264 - 300 Kbps" in Compressor 2.1. The 15 fps movie came in at 6.1 MB and the 30fps at 6.4 MB. YMMV - the source material and audio codec will have an effect on file size also.
Framerate has very little impact on file size when using modern interframe variable bit-rate codecs like H.264, MPEG4 or Sorenson. Cinepak is pretty medieval I would avoid it.

Stuttering extends to QT & Internet Videos

I have noticed that many of you out there have been experiencing the iTunes stuttering issue just as I.
However, I have noticed also that this stuttering extends to QuickTime and internet videos. Any time I watch a video in QT, it will exhibit the same type of stuttering as does music in iTunes. When watching videos on YouTube, for example, any particular video will stutter as well.
Perhaps this is a 10.5.2 issue? Any thoughts? Any of you having the same issues?

I see the same thing. I think it is a Quicktime or lower issue.

Does anyone know a video converter to convert Internet video recordings. Its in an IVR file, I can get it to work on real player on a widows but cant get it to work on my mac.

Does anyone know a video converter for a video file for internet video recordings. IVR file. I can get it to work on real player on my windows but can not open it on my mac.

Try downloading and using VLC. It is a very popular media player that plays just about every file format out there. That way you would not need to convert it.

I need help to re set QuickTime player as my default internet Video Player

Does anyone know about QuickTime Player 7 10.0?
I have a Real Player software Program that is set as my internet default video player, I want to change and re set my internet video player as my default QuickTime Player, I don't know how to change and re set my Internet Video player. I noticed that in my QuickTime Player it doesn't have a preferences under the quickTime Player Menu. Does anyone know how I can re set My QuickTime Player as my internet Video default Player?
Thank You,
Mrs. Trisha Foster

Sorry, look under the Help menu -> installed plugins (I'm using Firefox and had to keep showing/hiding Safari). As for the other location, don't change anything there (not good to change anything in the Library folders) - I just wanted you to look to see if Quicktime is there or not. If it is, you need to take a look while Real Player is open to see if it can be disabled - I don't have it, so I can't give you instructions. If you can't find Quicktime in either location, there is something strange going on because it should be.
If you can't find it under plugins, also check in Applications to see if Quicktime Player is installed and post back. Also, do a search for Quicktime and Quicktime plugins.
I am not sure if you can just download and install it from the Apple download site or if you'd need to use your install disk to reinstall it from there; if you do not have it installed anywhere, it should be fine to download it - hopefully someone else will be able to confirm this.

Disable Quicktime plugin for Internet Explorer

There has been discussion on a number of forums regarding the Quicktime plugin for Windows Internet Explorer and how it will hijack file associations, preventing them from being opened up with your default application. This only occurs when clicking on a link on a website. This even occurs when the file assocations in Windows are set to open a particular media file with your desired player. Disabling the Quicking plugin in the Internet Explorer settings may only makes things worse because instead of the file playing with the Quicktime plugin, Internet Explorer displays a red "X", and doesn't play the media. Uninstalling Quicktime is a solution, but if you, like me, own a Apple device and use iTunes, Quicktime must be installed. There are a number of postings on the web with potential solutions, but none of them worked for me.
After troubleshooting for some time, I have finally figured out how to disable the plugin once and for all. I have narrowed it down to the registry entry that apparently loads the plugin into Internet Explorer. By simply deleting this entry, the Quicktime plugin will no longer load with IE and media will be launched with your favorite player. You can easily revert back to the Quicktime plugin by restoring the registry entry from a backup. Below, I have provided the reg.exe command line commands to backup and delete the registry entry.
1) Close out of Internet Explorer.
2)Backup with this command:
reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " C:\qt_plugin1.reg
NOTE: This registry path is for Windows x64 (64-bit). I am not certain of the path for Windows x86 (32-bit), but I assume you may just need to remove Wow6432Node from the path. If it is not there, open regedit.exe and search for 4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69.
3) Delete with this command:
reg delete "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{4063BE15-3B08-470D-A0D5-B37161CFFD69} " /f
4) Open Internet Explorer and test. When you click on a music or video link, your default media player should now launch.
I have tested this myself several times, including a reinstallation of Quicktime, and it worked. If it doesn't work for some reason, you can try performing the same steps with the following registry entries. Do one at a time and test so that you don't delete anything unnecessary.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{CB927D12-4FF7-4A9E-A169-56E4B8A75598}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B}
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Compo nents\3F9E7EA97A1AEE54490637032025DEF9
If you wish to restore the Quicktime plugin, simply double-click the registry file that you backed up in step 2. Click yes when it asks you to confirm. Now when you open Internet Explorer and click on a link, the Quicktime plugin will load and play the media.

I mentioned I have the Acrobat Pro 9 version.
Also, Im using IE 8.

How can I stop QuickTime from streaming all internet videos?

HI
When I updated my ITunes all the media file associations were changed to QuickTime. I want the Windows Media Player to keep the associations.
What I did so far is:
I have disabled all associations in QuickTime player options (except .mov) and turned on all associations in Win Media Player (which I prefer for streaming internet videos) however QuickTime still opens all onling videos. How can I change that. Is uninstalling QT the only solution to this problem?
PC Windows XP
PC Windows XP

Changing the the file associations from within QT and WMP settings may not be enough if there are current files on the hard drive that have been previously associated with that media player.
Try right clicking on one of those files, Where it shows; Opens With: click on the Change button, and choose what media player to handle it

H.264 video should be supported by your basic Snow Leopard operating system. The DVCPRO HD family of codecs is part of the Apple "Pro" codecs package which is normally installed as part of a "Pro" video editing suite installer or contemporaneously installed separately as part of one of the newer pro editing apps like FCPX. if you already have one of these pro suites or apps installed or available, then re-install the correct codec package that is missing. If not, you will need to purchase a Pro suite or app to be able to install the required codec package.
