Quicktime movie browser compatability???

Whats the best way to assure video compatability for all web
browers. I have a Quicktime movie in an html page and I want to
make sure that most common browers will be able to play it. Is
there special code for that???/ Thanks!

> Whats the best way to assure video compatability for all

It's not really a browser issue as much as a system issue.
The best way is to provide multiple formats and let people
choose.
If you have to pick one formeat, FLV (Flash video) is
probably the way to go
provided you don't want people to be able to easily download
it. You can
download FLV files, but it's not as nice as just being able
to click on a
MOV or WMV file.
My ideal set up with be to offer Flash Video in the browser
with a link to
an MPG file for those that want to download it.

Quicktime Movies Platform Compatibility?

Hi,
I'm working with Quicktime Pro on my PC and was wondering if there are any known issues with Quicktime Movies that I create from my PC working properly with Macs.
I'm looking to offer downloads rendered in Quicktime and was hoping to provide them to PC and Mac users, but I really don't have a way to test that they'll work with Macs.
I'd like to support as many people as possible, so any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Use modern "delivery" codecs (H.264 video and AAC audio) when compressing your source video and you'll have no trouble with any machine that has QuickTime player version 7 installed.
QuickTime Player version 7 shipped in April, 2005 and can install on nearly every OS. Windows 98 would need an "older" version of 7 and Mac OS 9 users are left out completely.

Quicktime movies don't show in browser

Was having trouble with quicktime movies playing in Safari and Firefox. Each time I got the broken Q, I would restart the computer and it would work for a while. Upgraded to OS X(10.5) in hopes that might help. It didn't. No matter what I do no Quicktime in browser or a places like myspace. Any ideas?

Andrea Turriziani has a solution for the problem - here's the link

Green screen when playing any Quicktime movie within a browser

With all the latest Apple updates installed, I now see only a blank green screen when playing any Quicktime movie within any browser, Safari or Firefox. Audio is fine, but the video shows just a key frame initially then goes blank green when it starts playing. If I download the movie, it will play fine in Quicktime Player. This applies to any Quicktime movie, on the Apple site or any other site. But, streaming movies that are .wmv files play fine, thru the Flip4Mac plug-in. On my older G4 Powerbook, with 10.5.7 and the latest Safari and Quicktime. there are no problems. And until recently the Intel Macbook was fine, too. But something that was installed has messed up Quicktime in some fashion so it no longer plays streaming Quicktime movies in a browser. Do I need to remove and re-install some component? Downgrade to an earlier version? I recently installed CS4 and the latest Canon digital imaging software that comes with their cameras. Might any of these have messed up how Quicktime works? -- Alan

Hi,
I logged out then back in a Guest User with minimal access, ran Safari and streaming movies still would NOT play in browsers.
I then logged back in as me, with Admin access, and ran Disk Utility to first: Verify the Disk -- all was OK.
Then did a Permissions repair. And these were the permissions needing repair, below: A lot of them! And many pertaining to Quicktime. Unfortunately, doing this made no effect. Still no improvement. And running the Permissions Repair again produced the identical list of repairs. It says they have been repaired but not so, apparently.
I thought this must be the issue. But then I did the same thing with my older G4 Laptop (but also has the latest OS 10.5.7, Safari 4.02 and Quicktime 7.6.2 and other Apple updates, albeit for Powermacs not Intel), and which has minimal applications on it (it serves as a media server for the stereo) and it plays movies fine. But ... doing a Permissions Repair on it produced a similar list and they also would not repair (doing a Repair again a second time produced the same list). Yet it plays movies fine. So I'm stumped.
a) why are the laptops refusing to repair their permissions?
b) and might this be the problem on the Intel machine.
Is the answer removing Safari and installing an earlier version (I have a stand-along installer for v.4) and/or doing the same with Quicktime (I have 7.6).
Thanks,
-- Alan

Referenced quicktime movies crash all www browser quicktime player plugins?

About a week ago I noticed all the referenced quicktime movies on my site began to crash my WWW browsers (chrome,firefox,safari,IE7) only on Windows 7 64-bit. On Mac OSX 10.6 & iPhone the movies played as expected. As soon as I stopped using the referenced movies, my Windows 7 browsers stopped crashing.
I'm using referenced movies so users are displayed a movie which is appropriate for their bandwidth and device.
Has anyone else run in to this issue recently?

I had the same experience recently. I wanted to watch videos on the Apple in Education page, and after clicking on the video it crashed Safari. I tried different browsers (Chrome, Firefox Opera) and had the same result.

Quicktime movie audio stutters and freezes viewer and browser

I uploaded a Quicktime movie to my website and it plays fine on all of my computers except one - the one that I do my website on. All Quicktime movies hang with rapidly looping audio on this machine - even the ones on Apple's website. This lasts for a minute or two and hangs the programs until it stops. Other video and audio formats work fine on this machine. Help!

Hard to believe there are no takers.
Hardly surprising. You didn't really ask a question to which readers could respond nor do you seem to be looking for a workaround for your unexplained and rather circuitous workflow. I did attempt to duplicate the download/conversion process using my own system, software, and workflows but since you did not include any particular YouTube source file (i.e., URL) reference and my results were different than yours, I can't even be sure I started with the same content as you. Basically, such sync problems normally devolve from a problem in the source file or in the processes used to download and/or convert the content.
A YouTube search for the file name referenced in your initial comments directed me to this YouTube page which I used as a source file: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_INlMhECFA
However, when I downloaded the 426x240 version of the YouTube source file, it turned out to be a standard H.263/MP3 FLV file with stats quite different than those of your H.264/AAC MP4 download posted above and which did not display any AV sync issues. (Source File)
I then used QT 7 Pro (with Perian codec package installed) to directly convert the H.263/MP3 FLV compressed data to an H.264/AAC MP4 file having the same target settings as the original FLV file. (Converted File)
In short, based on the information provided, I cannot duplicate your problems. In addition, the downloaded 720p30 resolution H.264/AAC MP4 version of the same content also played correctly in the QT 7 player without conversion or additional third-party codecs. At this point (i.e., without further information to the contrary), I suspect your issues may be self inflicted as a result of your workflow and may explain why others have failed to make comments here.

How do I open a QuickTime movie in the Player

How do I create a link in Dreamweaver8 which will open a QuickTime movie in the QuickTime Player and not in another browser window of Safari?

Looking at the source of this page, the markup you posted was:
<pre><a href="Excerpts-The Cult.mov" target="QUICKTIMEPLAYER">Video<br></pre>
1. An HREF tag needs to be closed with an </a> immediately after the word you're hyperlinking (in this case, "Video").
2. Many web servers are cAsE sEnSiTiVe. Best to use all lower case chars in your filename, and avoid space chars altogether (spaces are interpreted as a '%20' character code, that can muck things up).
3. Instead of an HREF tag, you need to use an EMBED tag to invoke the QT Plugin, as demonstrated on the page I linked to above. The HREF tag doesn't understand TARGET="QUICKTIMEPLAYER", only the QT Plugin understands that attribute.
4. For cross-platform compatibility (specifically with Internet Explorer Win 5.5SP2 & above), you also need to use an OBJECT tag to embed your mov. That will be ignored by browsers that use Netscape-style plugins (they use EMBED), but still read by browsers that use ActiveX controls (i.e: Internet Explorer Win).
You might find it useful to work through the basic embedding QT tutorial, also the ADC HTML Scripting Guide for QT.
If all that makes your head spin, grab a copy of PAGEot and get it to generate the QT markup for you.

Any way to protect a quicktime movie on the net?

Hi,
I wonder if there is any way to make a quicktime movie NOT downloadable from the web.
I have a clip I would love to show on the web but I have to make 100% sure nobody is able to download and distribute it.
Is there any way? Kiosk Mode seems not to be too safe (at least this is what I heard)
thanks for your help

The kioskmode="true" html tag only removes the "download" part of the movie controller and would only keep QuickTime Pro users from downloading your file via the controller. It also prevents "drag and drop".
Any user could search through your page source code and find the URL to your QuickTime file. Dragging it to the "Downloads" window of Safari would allow them to keep a local copy.
"Streaming" media files (requires special server software to deliver) are the most difficult to capture. Because noting is locally cached the best an average user could do would be to save a reference copy of your file.
You could also use AppleScript to set internal flags inside the QuickTime .mov file as "un-editable". These flags can be reset using "hex editing" software but, again, beyond the scope of an average user. An example (one of mine):
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/D/
Notice that the html code "forces" the QuickTime Player app to open instead of playing in a browser window. You own "Pro". Take a look at the menu options under the File menu.
Notice that save, save as, export and share are unavailable?
It would also be very difficult to use a screen recording app to capture my movie "window".

How do I get Javascript or HTML to open a QuickTime movie as a slideshow?

I have turned a 320x240 pixel photo sequence into a QuickTime movie using the "File > Open Image Sequence ..." option. However, that required I specify an equal amount of time to display each photo.
Using the following JavaScript, I can, from within a webpage, play that QuickTime movie as a movie in another window by simply clicking on the link to it in the webpage:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
But some photos need to be displayed for a longer time than others.
QuickTime 7.1.2 "View > Present Movie > Slideshow > Play" will play the movie as a slideshow -- the person looking at it has full control over how much time a photo is displayed before going to the next one.
My JavaScript allows the user to pause the movie and continue it at will, but if I can modify it to play the movie directly as a slideshow like QuickTime 7.1.2, please let me know how.
Thank you.

QuickTime movies in IE7

I am working on embedding QuickTime movies on a web page (with just the object element). I have them set to autoplay. They work just fine on most browser for both Mac and Window.
Except IE7. In IE7, the QuickTime video loads and you can hear the audio, but you have to manually click the video to see the images moving.
I've investigated the new thing about activating ActiveX controls manually and Apple's suggestion about using JavaScript (http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html).
This article on Microsoft's developer site implies that the changes affect all ActiveX controls, not just non-Microsoft ones.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overvie w/activating_activex.asp?frame=true&hidetoc=true
This independent article also implies that the change is for all ActiveX controls:
http://www.digitalmediadesigner.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=38506
But two things. One, I don't want to use Javascript, and two, when I embed a movie to play with Windows Media Player, it plays just fine. Yes, you have to click to interact with Windows Media Player, but meanwhile, the movie is loading and playing without trouble.
Is IE7 playing favorites with Windows Media Player? Does it like AVI files better?
In short, why is it that it can play Windows Media Player files in the background without any user interaction, but not QuickTime files in the background without any interaction?
I'd appreciate any insights you can offer.
thanks,
Liz

Had the exact same problem after the Quicktime 7.1.6 upgrade. I had a driver conflict. I had to use an older driver for my Nvidia graphics board the latest was not compatible.

QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

Hi!
I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
This is my feedback.
Thanks!!!!! :)

I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

FCP7 HELP - Exported quicktime mov plays differently than what I edited on the timeline. The playback shows the clips with ins and outs that are different than what I set in the clips when I edited - some are too early and the clips don't playback

Please help ASAP.

Editing with FCP 7
When I export the sequence I edited with quicktime, the playback video is very different from what I edited on the timeline. The playback has the clips with ins and outs that are way off than what I cut, and some of the clips don't show at all or have changed transitions. However when I play in the timeline in FCP, the sequence is fine, just the way I cut it.
The source of the clips was one long .mov that I cut into clips for the timeline. Everything has gone smoothly but the exported .mov is just so different.
How can I get the time codes of the clips to be the same in the exported .movs? I just want the quicktime .mov to represent my edit exactly.
This video is due tomorrow - if the solution is too time consuming, can I play within the FCP player window and Log and Capture?
Thanks,
MV

What is your source material? Is it H.264? FCP does not work correctly with that material.
Click on a source clip in the FCP Browser, and once selected, type Command + 9 to see the item properties for the clip. Either report those properties, or take a screen shot of the item properties, and post that here.
Next, click anywhere in your timeline, and then type Command + 0 {zero} to see your Sequence Settings. Either report those Sequence Settings, or take a screen shot of the Sequence Settings and post that here.

Quicktime movies made from PNG files???

I'm working on an edit that I was handed by another editor and I'm having the hardest time messing with the project. Apparently he made Quicktime movies out of PNG frame sequences and then used those movies (that seem to be not self contained) to edit in FCP. Everything was offline when I got it and when I reconnect it it goes thru every frame of every shot saying..."Searching for movie data in file...." Takes sooo long.
SO I let it search and it finshes but then when I double click the movie file in the browser or in the time line it starts the long search for every frame again.
Got any suggestions? This is driving me nuts!!!
Thanks,
Chris

This sounds like the behavior when a Quicktime reference file is used. You can be in FCP or in the Finder but when the original media used to create it isn't available the Mac os will try to search and you see that message. It can take a while. If that media isn't available you won't be able to edit with it. Not a good workflow to use.

Quicktime movie not displaying properly

Hi,
Can anyone help?, I have inserted an mpg into a page using
the "plugin" symbol (is this correct?), and although it displays
correctly when i preview in browser, after i upload it to my server
and click on the link, it goes to the page, hangs there for a
while, and then displays a black vertical strip with numbers and
symbols in it?.
Is this likley to be a server prob or do i need to do
something with the file itself?
If anyone would be kind enough to help, then this is the

Many thanks

yeah, this kinda *****... since there's no MMS, not being able to play QUICKTIME movies sent to my email on iphone is a real pain in the ***, plus it just does not make much sense.

Quicktime 7.5.5 will not download quicktime movies from webpage sources

I had no difficulty downloading movies before I upgraded to 7.5.5. All I had to do was click on the down-pointing arrow on the lower right-hand corner of the preview, and I could make a permanent copy of the download. I cannot do that with 7.5.5 altho' the help menu says I should be able to. Instead of showing the movie on preview as it used to on a screen that had the necessary arrow, now those movies go directly to the quicktime movie program and there is no way I can see to save the download permanently.
So where are these movies going? They're not protected, I know, since I was able to download from the same sources before, and they are not pay sites.
I have leopard 10.5.5 on an intell iMac.

That's professionally terse and should be informative, but it doesn't help at all since it doesn't happen to be true. I never had pro, nor was I ever able to ''Save As'' with the qt version I had. The new quicktime 7.5.5 does claim I should be able to save such movies however. In its instructions under ''help'', it informs me that I should first see a sample movie, centered on the computer screen, and that movie panel should have, on its lower right-hand corner, a down-pointing arrow which, when clicked on, offers 3 options, one of which is ''save as quicktime movie''. I should see that screen, and according to the 7.5.5 instructions, I should have those options. I used to, with the earlier qt version, but I don't anymore - not with 7.5.5. Unfortunately, that particular preview movie screen never opens. Instead, the movie immediately opens on the qt screen in the upper left-hand corner of the computer and is impossible to save. Of course, the publicity for the upgrade says that all these movies are stored in the quicktime browser's cache, but I can't find the cache so while they may be there, we'll apparently never know - unless, of course, you happen to know how to open the browser cache.
Do you?
