Quicktime Movie Crash

Hi All,
I'm trying to export some video 24 minute using Compressor. I have already created a self contained Quicktime movie that I'm exporting. I'm using the MPEG 2 option and also creating a AIFF for audio. The Audio is fine but when I go to play video it's crashes and is unreadable. I just did this process 2 days ago with no problem. Could this be a storage issue?
Thanks

Sorry for the confusion. I'm trying to create files to import into DVD Studio Pro. The file is created but then will not play? Does this help?

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 .mov files crash multiple applications.

I've been having issues for some time now with quicktime .mov files hard crashing multiple applications. Basically quicktime movies crash Safari and iWeb/iLife when I try and view them. Quicktime player itself quits occasionally, or just doesnt even play the movie. iWeb will crash as well consistently. Bad thing is, that it's a hard crash for me, and there is never even a box stating that it crashed. So I get no opportunity to send a bug report. The applications just quits instantly. nothing in the crash report either. all other movie formats work fine, ie. mpg, avi, wmv.
Firefox can view the same movies fine for some reason.
I can even make a new site in iWeb, add one movie page, drop a movie in, go away from that page creation, then go back to it and the app will crash, with no dialogue boxes whatsoever.
I've tried tossing all quicktime prefs, going back to QT 7.01 then back up to 7.04, no help. My powerbook works fine, and it's on the same level, all OS updates like my G5. If I bring the iWeb file over to the G5, from the powerbook, that I was having no problem editing on the powerbook, it will crash iWeb immediately upon viewing a page with the movie in it.
I'm really close to re-installing teh OS completely, but hoping we find a solutin before then.
I do have a retail Mac Edition Radeon 9800 Pro in this machine, could be issues, but I have found no articles stating such. I also have flip4mac installed. I updated it to the latest, and I do not have any .avi files in my movies folder, so it shoudn't be an issue. This all started happenning around the install of iLife '06 when I first repeatedly noticed it on the movie pages in iWeb. It might have happened earlier, but I wrote it off. It was just really annoying when trying to make iWeb pages with movies.

1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
2] If its only happening in your account:
Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
3] If its happening for all users then try:
Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
Let us know if you still have trouble.

Quicktime Mov with H264 codec keeps crashing.

Hi all, i keep getting an buffer overflow when viewing several mov, h264 videos.
The problem seams to be an memcpy witch is made by quicktimeh264.scaler.
Any way to fix this?
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x0000000038c9b000

2 QuickTimeH264.scalar 0x0bd7015f JVTDecoBeginBand + 363
I've tryed updating everything(Quicktime, OS), but still the problem remains.
I can use windows + vlc to view the files without any crash...

Almost every file created by ffmpeg in h264, makes quicktime component h264 scaler crash after about 30 minutes of playing / editing.
Not sure i understand your solution, there seams to be an exploitable bug in quicktime, witch crashes any app that uses quicktime for playback.
Mpegstream will play the file almost for sure, but this doesn't fix the quicktime bug.

FCP 7 crashing on render and when exporting quicktime movie & rendering

Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded to Lion and am still using Final Cut Studio 3.
I have a 1.37min sequence which i wanted to export and burn the DVD. My normal workflow for this is:
- Export/quicktime movie/make self contained
- Open compressor and convert
But FCP 7 keeps on crashing on export, in fact is very unstable recently. It also crashes on rendering, and quite often when im editing.
- Final Cut Studio 7.03
- Footage is HDV 1080 50i
Any ideas on a solution??

Are you converting those clips to ProRes in ClipWrap? Or keeping them native? You MUST convert them to ProRes.
The NXCam came out just before 7.0.3. FCP did update to mesh with that camera, but it's still rocky. And now that FCP 7...legacy...has been discontinued, there will be no more updates. But you have ClipWrap so that should be fine. As long as you convert to ProRes.

Export to Quicktime movie continued crashes. HELP

I have sequence, it renders no problem. Whenever I go to export to Quicktime movie it crashes. I have gone and deleted all files associated with it and redone the sequence from scratch, and I keep getting the same results. Crash while exporting. I am working in DV, so all I do at export is export to Quicktime movie, which means it should be exporting as a DV movie. I am not sure what is wrong please help.
As always thanks in advance for reading and replying to my Post,
Sebastian

I did try burning the 18.05GB file on i-DVD but even with the auto compression of i-DVD it only managed to compress it down to 5.4GB - too large for my 4.7GB DVD.
The only reason I need to burn it so my friend can author it is that he's a little too fussy and wants to author it on Adobe Encore.
I managed to get a firewire drive - but the blooming PC didnt accept it as it was Mac formated!
I just exported the original file as a QT movie, reducing sound quality, frame rate etc but it still comes out at 17.5GB - still to large for i-DVD (and thats with i-DVD's compression, which comes in at approx 5GB!)
I really really blame myself for this as I never really looked into anything more than the creative aspect of FCP. But I've started now.

Safari Crash When Microsoft Scrollwheel Used Over Quicktime Movie

Lets say I have a Quicktime Movie displayed in a web page opened in Safari. If I put the cursor over the movie and scroll up and down with the scroll wheel, the movie will go into scrub mode briefly before completely crashing the system. The computer will not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input. I have to ssh into the machine and issue a 'sudo reboot' to recover (not really a recover though). I have the most current firmware and system updates. The problem is reproducible with a fresh user account, as well as with a clean system install.
• I tried a different Microsoft Mouse that was of the same model and it did the same thing.
• I just tested a Kensington StudioMouse, and the problem doesn't exist.
• I also tried the Microsoft mouse on another MacBook and it did not exhibit the same problem.
Anyone have any insight to what might be going on?

New information: I guess the mouse was a Red Herring, as the problem is now happening with any type of mouse, as well as the trackpad. So, scratch that information. Actually, whenever a page with Quicktime embedded is displayed, it crashes. Same with opening movies in Quicktime Player. Something is fundamentally wrong here...
Yes, it happens in a test accout as well. I even went to the trouble of zeroing the drive, and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS. I tested pre updates, and post updates, and it is reproducable across all instances. This was all done in front of a Genius at the Apple Store.
The problem is, Safari doesn't "crash", so no crash report is generated. The whole UI just locks up. I can move the mouse around, but it does not react to clicking or keyboard input. I can SSH into the box, and when I run "top", I don't see anything pegging the CPU.
Firefox work perfectly displaying Quicktime Movies. Also, if I set Safari to run in Rosetta, I experience no problems. It has something to do with Safari and the Intel Quicktime Plugins.
This is all too baffling...

Safari crashed opening quicktime movies after 10.4.4

Hi,
Tried to open quicktime mov (from link on website) from safari and safari crashed. Tried a few times (after re-logging, and restarting) with the same result. Quicktime standalone v.7.0.4 have no problem starting. Finally resorted to Firefox, without any problems and no crashes running quicktime mov!
Also found-out that on some website, you need to disable plug-ins and Java (from the preferences) before able to click links. Try "www.aqua-macro.com". Website problems? or plug-ins/java?
Thanks.

I originally updated through sys pref and just let it go. One day later things stopped working. Repairing permissions etc did nothing. Applied the combo update, verified the disk before hand, repaired permissions after the update and reboot, now things are back to normal as far as I can tell, better even in some areas. Hope this can help others with similar problems.

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes!

When exporting as a quicktime movie, final cut pro crashes about 3/4ths the way through the 12 hour process. I'm saving it to a La Cie 500 GB disc by fire wire. It's worked before but after I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence, I haven't been able to export it and it won't play straight at anything bigger than 25% size. Please if you have any advice I won't forget it. I'm trying to export as ProHD 1060i.

I converted one SD sequence (that was shot in HD)to a HD sequence
How, exactly? And what were the settings of your new HD sequence? DVCPRO HD 1080 60i?

Crashed before finished writing Quicktime movie

I have a webcam program that was making a quicktime movie. It crashed before it finished, and the movie is 5 Gig so I know the data are there but I can't open it - QT says "not a valid file" presumably because the file wasn't closed with the rid terminator data or something like that. How do I convert it or at least see the 5 Gig of video that I did get before it crashed??

IDVD crashes when encoding imported Quicktime movies

I have quicktime movie slideshows that I made from iPhoto and posted on the web. The original photos have since been lost in a hard drive crash. I am trying to make a DVD with four of these movies.
They seem to import OK. They preview OK. But when I burn the DVD (or make a disk image) iDVD crashes after finishing encoding the menus and starting on the slideshow/movie encoding.
I have tried it with a slideshow exported directly from iPhoto and it works fine. I have tried doing several individual quicktime movies to see if one of them was the culprit, but it still crashes.
Any suggestions?

John,
Welcome to the iDVD forum!
Any suggestions?
Whenever a movie is causing some issues, it can be better to export it as full quality DV. You can do this with QT Pro, or by importing it into iMovie. You might lose some QT special effects when you do this, but it might fix whatever glitch is causing problems.
Then use the iMovie project (or QT Pro exported DV file) in iDVD. Use "save as disk image" to test it out on one movie.

INSANELY SUPER SLOW conversion times for MP4 to Quicktime Movie..HELP!!!!!!

Hi folks...
I am frustrated.
I am a student in a Film Editing class.
I have an assignment where I have to take a classic film and create a movie trailer for it using the original film and editing in FinalCut Pro.
I started off by using Handbrake to change the original DVD of the film into an MPEG-4. This took about 3 hours, which was long....but Handbrake did a very good job and the conversion was completed.
So, I have a high quality MPEG-4 of the movie.
However, as many people know, you cannot import an MPEG-4 file into FinalCut.
You have to first convert the MPEG-4 to a Quicktime Movie (a.k.a. "mov file")
HERE IS WHERE THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED
I have been trying for almost two weeks to convert one movie- the 1979 movie "Alien"- over from MPEG-4 to Quicktime.mov, as I keep running into problems.
Right now, at home, my computer (a PowerMac G4) is converting the file using MPEG Streamclips...
At the current rate it is going (I timed it and used a calculator)...it will take approximately 80 HOURS (!!!!) for MPEG Streamclips to convert this film from MPEG-4 to Quicktime MOV.
I literally started the conversion at 8 o clock last night. I went to sleep. This morning I was getting ready to go to my job. The file was still only 10% COMPLETE...(THIS IS INSANE)...
I got upset with this, as my professor in the editing class says he may dock me points for a late assignment.
So, I PURCHASED Quicktime Pro for Windows.
I have downloaded it onto this PC I am using.
In almost 2 hours, it has only gone from "8% completed" to "9% completed"... there is no way this will be done in any less than 48 hours. NOTE- I am not using a 3rd party, free, unpredictable sortware...I am using the official Quicktime 7 PRO that I bought straight from APPLE....and it is THIS SLOW.
This is absolutely crazy. IS THIS NORMAL? People running their computers 24 hours a day for 3 to 4 DAYS to convert a film from MPEG-4 to Quicktime Movie?
What can I possibly do to make this go faster? I was afraid I was going to crash this PC (the fan has been running loudly on high non-stop since I started this...I know this will take more than 8 hours at this rate, so I shut it off)
What are tips/shortcuts that anyone can give to help with this.
I dont think I should have to go to the United States Government to the Pentagon (or to Steve Jobs's house!) to get a computer with enough RAM and computing power to change an MP4 to a Quicktime movie.
I have even used the newest and most powerful G5 computers here at the university, running OS 10.5 with Quicktime Pro as the converter....and still seen extremely slow conversions (as in, it will take 48 hours of continuous computing to complete this)
Is this normal? Does everyone actually do this when they need to convert a film?
Or, are there shortcuts, slight drops in quality, or special shortcuts I can take?? What do KNOWEDGEABLE people do to convert an MPEG-4 file to a Quicktime Movie?
3-4 hours is long, but reasonable.... 80 HOURS IS INSANE......
.....Please HELP out a struggling film student!!! Thanks and God Bless

I restarted the conversion, only this time I am seeking to convert the MEPG-4 over to "Apple DV/DVC PRO- NTSC format"
An instructor here at the school gave that as a suggestion...
Now, at the current rate of THIS conversion, it will STILL TAKE about 40 hours of continuous processing to convert this film. THe computer will need to run 24 hours a day for almost 2 days to convert this.
The instructor told me he thinks the ludicrous time frames needed have something to do with the fact that I am converting this film from MPEG-4. He thinks that this could be what is causing it to be this slow.
I am just not used to this type of thing....I have never used a computer to do ANYTHING that takes 40 to 80 hours to complete.
I think that director Ridley Scott likely filmed the actual movie itself much faster than this conversion is taking (!!!)

Saving Quicktime Movies in Keynote

I'm using a 1GZ Power PC G4, with 768 ram, Keynote 3.02. When I insert a Quicktime movie into a Keynote theme (however short), it plays fine, but when I try to save it, Keynote crashes -- everytime! Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

You can have two movies playing simultaneously, either side by side or one on top of the other.

Quicktime pro crashes with some mp4 in Lion Os X 7.2

Hallo!
I have upgraded to Lion OS X 7.2 and my Quicktime pro crashes when I try to open files mp4 with MPEG-4 HE AAC V2 audio codec. It used to work fine in Snow Leopard. I removed and installed again, tried to remove Mpeg 2 codec, installed 3ivx, but still the same problem so I removed it again.
I removed everything and installed again but still the same problem with these files.
Anybody has got such problem?
Any possible solution (apart open them in QT 10 and export in mov)?
Thanks!
Mau

lots of people, did you find the solution?

HELP!!! Quicktime Pro crashes when exporting

I've had no problems until today. All of a sudden, when I export a movie from quicktime, it crashes when I click on "settings" of the codec. So I basically open the file, go to "File>Export" and click on "Options". I then click on "Settings" and boom...quicktime disappears with your usual windows error sound. Like I said, I've had no problems up till today so I don't know what I could of done to cause this. I'm running Quicktime Pro 7.2 on Windows XP Pro 64bit. I've tried uninstalling it and tried older versions...nothing seems to work. My Sorenson Squeeze software also will not load quicktimes which I believe is related to this problem. Any ideas?

Sorry to hear you are having the same problem but I'm glad its just not me. I seriously don't know what I could have done to cause this. Some sort of bug or virus going around? I've heard of quicktime being hacked in the past by a worm which causes it to crash so I'm wondering if that's what's happening. It does suck you can't really call Apple about it.
Its becoming increasingly difficult these days to talk to a human about technical issues. If you do get one on the phone, its some support person getting paid min. wage who just puts you on hold forever as they look up your problem in a generic list of "help" files. I don't want knowledge base support...I want one on one support with a trained programmer who knows how to fix your problems!
