Quicktime, Movie File Types & CandyBar

I have just three questions:
1) With the new upgrade to OS X Mavericks, it seems as though Quicktime is extra picky about converting certain file types when I open them, particulary avi's......which used to open with no problem in earlier versions of OS X. Is this a quirk that I'm going to have to deal with for now, or is there a codec I can install to rectify this?
2) When listing different file types in Finder in OS X Mavericks, Windows Media Files (.wmv) are being listed as documents, and not movies (see below) This wasn't the case in OS X Mountain Lion. Is this another quirk or is there something I can do to have the .wmv files listed correctly?
3) Any word on when CandyBar will be updated for OS X Mavericks? If not, is there another way to change the look of the default folder icon? I already know how to change the icons for specific folders, but CandyBar helped me change the look of the default folder icon, thereby changing the look of ALL folders on my Mac.

Quicktime files can be MPEG-4 video, and should be
transferable to your iPod.
If you get info on the video file in question what
does it say?
when i click get info it says the kind/type is a quicktime movie file.....i was jus mainly wondering why some podcast videos have quicktime video file, while others have the mpeg-4 video file...its almost like and OCD (obssesive complusive disorder) thng for me.....but as long as they can still transfer to the ipod i should be fine....

  • What type of file is "Quicktime movie file"?

    Hello,
    I was looking at my collection and I see some movies/videos with the extention "Quicktime movie file" what type of file is this?
    My guess is that it is H.624 but please confirm that.
    Thanks

  • How do i export a sequence to an uncompressed quicktime .mov file?

    hello everyone.
    I have a little problem.
    I have a 20 secs sequence that needs to be exported from my FCP 6.0.3 to UNCOMPRESSED quicktime .mov file. Its HDV footage.
    These are the steps I've taken.
    I go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICK TIME MOVIE. I have all the settings to current setting, and I have checked the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option.
    When I'm done exporting, I get a .mov file, but its a Final Cut Pro file, not a quicktime file.
    This means I can't open in a PC, where I have to do some compositing.
    I would really appreciate if anyone can give me some advise or tips on how to get my export .mov file to be a quicktime file uncompressed .
    Thanks
    -r

    The Uncompressed 4:2:2 codecs only come with Final Cut Pro. Two ways:
    1) In FCP, go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Set format to QuickTime Movie and click Options. Go to Settings under Video and set Compression Type to None. Put all the sliders at maximum. Click Ok, deselect Prepare for Internet Streaming and click Ok. Export the file.
    2) This is the one I personally prefer, as it will be compatible with any system, even if they don't have QuickTime. Go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Under Format, select Image Sequence. Go to Options, set Format to TIFF and enter the FPS. Click Export and you will have a series of sequentially-numbered images that most compositing apps will treat like one big movie clip.

  • Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

    Hi
    Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
    I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
    @="WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"
    "Content Type"="video/quicktime"
    "PerceivedType"="video"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\OpenWithProgids]
    "AppX55e91fphzr8a583p8cbxv7jpr8bk6xb9"=hex(0):
    "AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt"=hex(0):
    "WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"=hex(0):
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\PersistentHandler]
    @="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"

    i was j/w this because i noticed it when i jus recently downloaded new podcasts (it was first time downloading a podcast from iTunes 7.0.2) and i was jus wonderin if there is any way to get it into MPEG-4 Video File....because i already right clicked and went to "convert selection for ipod" but then it says it is already in that format, but it is in Quicktime Movie File....
    any help would be appreciated

  • MPEG-2 DVD or Quicktime Movie File ?? HELP!

    I am finished with a ten minute video that needs to be burned to DVD with the upmost quality.
    I captured and edited the project in 1080i HD.
    Should I export as MPEG-2 DVD and then to Encore?
    Or should I export as a Quicktime Movie File at maximum depth?
    Which one will look best on a DVD??
    Are these my two best choices, or is there another way to do it to make the quality even better??
    I need this done by tonight, so if anyone can lend there expertise, i would be so appreciative.
    THANK YOU ALL
    PS- I have cs4 Premiere and Encore
    Mac Pro Quad Intel
    Canon HD cameras

    As far as I know, the DVD specification calls for MPEG, not Quicktime... so Encore will just have to re-encode a QT file (if it will even accept that format as input)
    You may, of course, export as DV AVI type 2 with 48khz sound and let Encore do the actual encoding to DVD format

  • QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

    I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
    ""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
    I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
    You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
    Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
    Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

    If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
    Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

  • HT3775 my mac wont play a quicktime movie file, it keeps saying i need a codec and then bringing me to this page. there is no links on where to get this codec? help!!!

    I try play this quicktime movie file and then it says i do not have the required codec and the only thing i can press is "ok" or "tell me more" and then it just brings me to this page, it says nothing about how to obtain this certain codec. I need this to work on my macbook! Its not the video file because it works perfectly fine on the iMacs at University. Help me out, please!

    Quicktime has it's limitations and can't, natively, play certain video formats.
    Try VLC.  It should be able to play anything you throw at it.

  • Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

    I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
    Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
    - QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
    So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
    First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
    All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one.  iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
    Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
    All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
    Anyone else see similar behavior?  Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

    I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

  • How to Get QuickTime movie file from DVD disc Video_TS Audio_TS ?

    5/6/2009. I have a DVD with a Video_TS and an Audio_TS folders. How can I create or transfer this into a QuickTime movie file? With iMovie? With Roxio/Toast Titanium ? (what editions?)

  • Combine QuickTime-mov files

    I have QuickTime pro and so I can combine Quicktime mov-files. It is however
    rather time-consuming so that adding small films for example twenty is
    a work of long duration. Is there an alternative?

    I was experimenting on different formats (they are converted to mp4, m4v and mov files before uploading to Youtube) at the beginning before I settled on .mov files. My Macbook only have 80 gigs so I want to preserve all of the clips I did in DVDs before I erase them from the hard drive before importing/starting a new tape. All of them were captured using a Sony Digital 8 camcorder.

  • Songs show up as "QuickTime movie file" and won't share or sync

    I have a few mp3 audio files in iTunes that aren't being transferred to my iPod (3G) and aren't showing up when I share my iTunes library to another computer, and I can't figure out why.
    The filenames have ".mp3" extensions. When I do a 'Get Info' on them in the Finder, they're identified as "MP3 Audio File". Running 'file' on them from a Terminal window says "MP3 file with ID3 version 2.2.0 tag". They play just fine in iTunes as well as in QuickTime Player.
    But when I do a 'Get Info' on them from within iTunes, iTunes says each one is a "QuickTime movie file". And when I access this computer's shared music from iTunes on another computer on my network, everything shows up except these tracks; and when I sync my iPod, everything shows up except these tracks. I don't get any error messages.
    Why does iTunes think these songs are movie files, and how do I correct it?

    These files have the wrong creator.
    You can correct this by running the script on this web page.
    The page also contains information about avoiding this in the future.
