Anyone having problems posting movies in iWEB. I
posted a few nad when I launch the site it won't
platback.
I have. I posted a topic on it and haven't gotten any suggestions. Movies, audio and video will work fine on the .Mac site, but won't work on the non-mac site. 1.01 worked fine on both but since upgranding I haven't been able to figure out the problem. Here are the addresses:
http://www.salemcityfire.com
http://web.mac.com/jpelura3
the "Test" page is a small audio file. The "Movies" page is a rather large file. The Fire Calls page has some audio too, that's more like a podcast.
I would appreciate any help and am not sure if the OP is publishing to .Mac or another site.

Nobody can watch my quicktime movie in iweb!!

I made two movies in iMovie and imported them directly into iWeb. I can watch them on my website and so can the apple tech people, but most importantly my professor cannot! I am the only one using a mac for this class - does anyone know if this could be a glitch between PC/mac? Or has anyone else had this kind of trouble with Quicktime 7.0.4???
I'm frantic cuz it's for my final that was due on Friday!!!! TIA
Vicki

It could be that you are using the latest and greatest video codec called H.264 to encode your movies and your professor's PC doesn't have the latest version of QuickTime 7 to be able to decode the movie. This usually results in a blank white movie frame with audio.
Two choices depending on which might be easier given your individual situation... Get your prof to upgrade his QuickTime player to the latest from Apple... or ... reencode your movie with anything other than H.264 if you know how to do that. Good luck!

Optimizing Quicktime Movies for iWeb 08- HOW?

Hello,
Question about converting a movie I made for my web site uploading to my .Mac account - using iWeb 08.
When the full quality movie is open in Quicktime Pro, and you click on export for web, you get this info box saying this:
In the same folder as this instructional HTML file, QuickTime Pro has placed various versions of your movie optimized for web-delivery. Also in that folder is a reference movie, which selects the best version for your users' various devices and connection speeds. By including this reference movie in your HTML page, you can ensure a quality video experience on your site.
THEN IT GOES ON TO SAY...
Use the following HTML code to embed your movie into your web page.
Important Notes:
•To make your media viewable on the internet, your media assets (movies, poster image) must be placed on a publicly accessable server.
•The URL parameters must be modified if your media assets are served from a different location than your web page.
•The movie URL parameters must always point to the reference movie (Fluid-Cam Test.mov) rather than a source movie.
•The reference movie must be kept in the same folder as the source movies.
•Source movie names cannot be changed, but you can change the name of the reference movie (remember to change it in the HTML code as well).
•Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
•Use this code in the <head> of your web page:
(AND THEN THERE IS A BUNCH OF CODE AFTER ALL THIS- WHICH I DIDN'T BOTHER TO TYPE HERE OF COURSE)
There are no instructions (that I can find) explaining where this code goes, which optimizes your movie for various formats. You can't drag and drop this whole folder into an iWeb Movie page.
So where do you copy and paste this code in iWeb, that Quicktime creates from your movie?
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks!

Best way I know is to put the movie into Iphoto, select it, go to "share" and choose to iweb. It will go straight to a new page in iweb which you can rename and include in your site.

Uploading Quicktime Movies to iWeb

I've exported a photo slideshow with music to Quicktime movie format, but even though I've selected the small size file, when I try to upload it to iWeb, I get a message saying that the file's too big. I can't figure out how to make it any smaller, and it already looks to me like the quality is compromised -- the pictures are blurry in the smaller file size, and I'd like people to be able to view it in a larger window. Suggestions? Thanks!

Just because iWeb says your file is too big does mean that you can't use it. It just means that it will take longer to download for the end user.
The file size selected as being "too big" is arbitrary. It really all depends on the speed of the internet connection used to download the file.
The best thing to do is publish it and see for yourself if it takes too long to download.
One of the things you can do is to put a text introduction on the same page for viewers to read while the movie downloads. As long as people have something to hold their attention they will wait a bit longer.

I have large quicktime movie and need to put on website.. I have Flash CS4 and can't figure it out

I have a large quicktime movie. I am assuming I need to make it a flash movie to reduce size of file? I am unfamiliar with flash, so I need step by step instructions on how to do this and how to put on page in website.
Thank you.

Embedded Quicktime movies and DOM layering?

Is there any way to overlay something on top of a quicktime movie in a web page without the quicktime movie showing through it?
http://www.boozhowtooz.com/trailer
I have a low res and high res version of a trailer where clicking the high res link overlays the movie in the a thickbox on the page. depending on the browser, the low res movie with show through the layer.
I've been searching the web for a solution but the best one I've found is to remove the low res movie with javascript when the high res link is clicked. not exactly ideal but doable if that's the only thing that works.
Is this a general problem with the quicktime plugin and dom layering?

I'm sorry for saying that David, but you are not right in this point. You would have right if you say that every web page embedded object (flash, quicktime, activx, etc.) has a parameter (wmode, window mode) which is set to true by default. BUT if you are using flash object (flash video) you can set the wmode parameter - as far as I know there are no other embeddable objects which accept this parameter.
And I think it's a bug, and not in browsers but (in this case) in Quicktime - I can't understand why Apple can't solve this problem. It's one key problem why most web developers (neither I) can't use QT on more complex web pages or in web applications. Easy examples:
__ you can't drop a popup over a QT video (you can do it with a Flash video)
__ you can't embed QT into fixed header/footer web pages with scrolling content (it overflows the header/footer
__ you can't put any navigation over QT objects (imagine the situation: I'm working on an UI which has self slide-bar to navigate within a video, you can add/remove annotations, logs, messages etc. and not for just one video but for more synchronized ones > you I'll need a scroll-bar to display all of these, but if you scroll the videos 'under' the navigation hides the navigation...)
So to conclude this short message: In my opinion this is a big problem with Quicktime, and I'm wondering why such a big company like Apple can't manage this problem (probably the web 'market' of QT is not big enough - in fact this is an issue why web developers don't like QT embeds...)
Thanks.

Export to Quicktime Movie and end up with Final Cut document

Exactly this is happening. Yesterday no problem, today I can not export. Using Quicktime Conversion is also hopeless. How do I remedy this? Thanks, and please be simple--I am the Idiot for which the Idiot Books were written...

"today I can not export"
What happens when you export?
"Using Quicktime Conversion is also hopeless."
What happens?
Exporting to either Movie or Conversion produces a QuickTime file. The only difference is that a QuickTime Movie has Final Cut as the creator type. Both can be used in any QuickTime application on any Mac that has the appropriate codec.

I need to retrieve my quicktime movies and make them wmp compatible. I only have the QT Player and it will not allow me to export. Suggestions?

I just have to QuickTime player and somehow the last movies I synched from my iPhone (3Gs) were done in .MOV instead of .wmp format. I haven't had an issue with this before. It won't allow me to export and I can copy, but it will not paste into another program. I have tried the codec downloads. I'd like to refrain from purchasing Quicktime Pro if at all possible. I just want to burn these movies to DVD.
Thanks.

Two of my external drives both stopped working. One was for the original file the other was a back-up. The movies are NOT in the library. I just get the word downloaded next to the movie which will not activate when I try to click it on the "download previous purchases" screen. The ones with the iCloud icons are more recent downloads.

Final Cut Pro exporting Quicktime movie and file size

I make short stop motion animations in FCP and usually when I export using current setting the file size is about 230MB for 60 seconds movie. However with the current project the exported quicktime movie file is only 32.1MB for 57 seconds movie. I don't think this is normal even though I set it with "current setting" and check off the make movie self-contained box.
How could I make the export setting back to normal so the exported quicktime movie will still be in high quality in a big file size?

Hi Ian,
it looks clear and same quality as usual. Maybe this is just how it is.
I am still worried because I exported another project to test and this one also is now exported into reduced file size. This is a 60 seconds movie and when I last exported, FCP created a 225.2MB quicktime file and when I exported exactly the same project again just now it is only 22MB... again, this is not self-contained movies.
To be honest with you I am really not familiar with digital settings, and I was trying to figure out export setting for a required file size and aspect ratio etc. for a projection the other day and it has been since then that my FCP started exporting smaller size QT files.
My project is in 4:3 ratio and all images on video sequence are digital still images. If you could kindly point out some places to look at to make sure that the settings are correct, that might be helpful (?)
thanks much!

Trying to import a Quicktime movie and get error message

After exporting from FCP, using QuickTime settings, when I try to import into DVD Studio Pro 3, I get a message saying wrong format.
It says "could not import one file. Incompatible format".
(there's only one file I'm trying to import.
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks.
J.

J.:
When you export from FCP take care of selecting QuickTime Movie self contained with same settings that your timeline (ussually the default settings in the export window).
Besides that my advice is you encode your video to MPEG2 and your audio to Dolby AC3 before importing in DVDSP. DVDSP will leave audio uncompressed what can give you playback issues in some players because it take too much of your bitrate.
In DVDSP3 you must use A.Pack for the AC3 encoding. Try this tutorial about Encoding AC3 with A.Pack (from KenStone site).
Good luck.

Movie and iWeb Problem

I posted a Quicktime movie (7.04) in medium streaming. My friends with PC's can't open it. Are there other settings I should use?

The problem is a lot of pc users are on company
computers at work and do not have the ability to
install software.
My sister-in-law is on her PC at home, has the latest QuickTime and still cannot see my video (she hears the sound, though). I've tried it on both my iBook using Virtual PC and Windows XP Pro, and on a real PC running XP, and I can see and hear my video perfectly well.
What's up with that??
Kittenmommy.
PS. I'm exporting it as a Sorenson video right now - we'll see if that helps.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4) 80 GB HD, SuperDrive, 768 MB RAM (My extra RAM is pastede on yay!!11!!)

Quicktime movies in iWeb??

I want to include a lot of movies in my site I have presently 8 of them but when you go to the page they all have to load. Is their a way to create a button or link to a file that will open the movie in a specific section of the page and when another link or button is hit the other mowie will play in the same area? To prevent the loading of all the movies or the visitor playing them all at once.
Thanks
Guy

How large is the file size?
My guess is over a gigabyte and that is just not practical for Web use.
If the large QuickTime icon appears on the page for more than 30 seconds I would also guess that the file has lost its "fast start" properties. That would mean that the entire file must download before playback could begin. With such a huge file that could take a day to download.
Save As using QuickTime Pro will fix the fast start feature.

Online Quicktime movies and content won't play!

I have OS 10.2.8, and until recently (when Apple released Quicktime 7), I had no problem in any of my browsers with Quicktime content. Now that Apple has switched to Q7, which isn't compatible with 10.2.8, I have not been able to load any Quicktime content, such as movie trailers.
Does Quicktime 6.5.3 no longer work for any Quicktime content? Or is it just a problem with my system? It would be disconcerting if Apple no longer allowed anyone who does not have 10.3 or above to view their content. Please help with this problem!

Any file encoded with the new H.264 video codec (most of the new trailers) can't be viewed with QuickTime 6.5.3.
Since you're unable to install QuickTime 7 on your computer you can't view these new movies.

Firefox 5.01 will play QuickTime movie and audio clips once, but then will not be able to repeat the movie or audio clip again after it initially plays. This did not happen in earlier versions of Firefox before 5. Is there a fix?

I am on a Mac using system 10.6.

Thanks for your response. While this may work with audio and video originating from your own computer it doesn't seem to effect audio and video viewed from the Firefox 5.01 browser which uses a QuickTime plugin. Audio and Video viewed from Safari and Firefox 3.6.19 work fine which leads me to believe the QT plugin and Firefox 5 browser are not working correctly.

Quicktime/ music and iweb

Hi There,
I just loaded some sample of work on my site and i am trying to make it so that is not downloadable is it possible?

Upload it as flash.
See...

Normally you would only have a clip of 30 to 60 seconds for each track so that downloading it would be futile.
