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.

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.

How many times can you "Export - Quicktime movie" the same ProRes 422 file until it starts to lose quality?

Lets say you are done with your project & you want an uncompressed copy of it as your master. If you keep importing it back into Final Cut Pro, & keep exporting (Quicktime movie), will it ever start to lose quality?

I've never seen a number given, but would think it is very high.
Apple describes ProRes here:
About Apple ProRes
And in that document says:
"while remaining visually lossless through many generations of decoding and reencoding."
I don't think I've ever seen degradation caused by recompression or multiple compassion, but as a workflow if you output a master file, then re-import it to add graphics and export that, you would only be 1 generation down from the master file. If you wanted to make multiple versions, you can always go back to, and re-import, the master file and make the changes, then export, so all you exports stay only 1 generation down from the master file.

Unable to Sync Quicktime Movie Clips with IPOD

I am a new ipod user having difficulty syncing Quicktime movie clips to IPOD.
Clips are saved as .mov files and Itunes will play.
However I cannot get them to sync woth IPOD.
Any ideas - Do I need to convert to annother format?

First you need to import your movies into iTunes. Do this by opening iTunes <File> <Import> <Movies> then choose the movie you want to put on your iPod. Make sure the movie has .mov at the end otherwise it won't be set up the way it's supposed to be.
Once the movie is imported into iTunes right click on it so a pull down menu appears. Click on <Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone>. It should begin converting it on its own and when it's done you'll hear the typical sound that happens after importing a cd, telling you the operation is complete.
After it's converted, you will have 2 identical movies in your menu. If you <Get Info> on each, you should be able to see which is newest version; that is the movie you are going to want to sync.
Then plug your iPod in to iTunes, go to the movie tab in iPod summary and check off the converted movies you want to sync to your iPod. Press <Sync> and that should add your movies to your iPod.
Hope this helps.

Quicktime movie rendering for time lapse does not work in CS4

Hey guys,
I m trying to render a time lapse video on PS CS4 and the process works well up until the export window. When i go there the first option under file options, quick time export, is unavailable( grayed out). The only available option is Image sequence. What do i have to do to enable the quicktime movie creation or any other movie format for that matter? Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.
For PS CS4, I assume that you have PS-Extended. Is that correct?
What OS/platform?
Do you have Apple's QT installed on that computer? If so, what version?
Good luck,
Hunt

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

Output quicktime movie choppy and less sharp than original

Goodmorning!
I am planning to make a stand alone movie of my footage that I can keep and watch on my iMac. My sequence was made on FCP 7 on 1920 x 1080 with Prores 422 codec.
I did a few tests with exporting to quicktime movie (standard settings), because I have read several times that converting this way results in more or less the same quality. When I compare the videoquality of the Quicktime movie with playing the footage on the timeline fullscreen (+view-external video-all frames+), I am very disappointed. Not only is the sharpness of the quicktime movie less than the original, the movie plays very choppy (not fluently at all) .
My question is: is that result to be expected? May I compare a quicktime movie with the original as described before?
Or maybe I should export the sequence in a more sophisticated way?
The quicktime outcome was about 30 seconds and resulted in a file of about 500 MB. My wish is that the size of the file will not be bigger.
I hope that you can help me. Thanks in advance.

Tom,
Three times "correct" to your three questions.
Opened the exported file in the QuickTime player, Movie Inspector said:
Structure: Apple ProRess 422 , 1920 x1080 (1888 x 1062) millions, 16-bit integer (little indian) Stereo 48000 khz
Bps: 25
Size: 561,7 MB
Speed: 118,53 Mbit/s
Current size: 1882 x 1058 pixels
If I run the sequence through JED deinterlacer, the movie gets a better flow. Of course the sharpness deminish a bit too.
I hope that you can help me.
Would export in H.264 be a better option?
Maybe the 25 Bps is too high? My Panasonic SD60 produces only 17 mb Mbps.

Can't use HDV quicktime .mov files (captured in Final Cut Pro) on a mac at work) on my PC at home

Hiya everyone!
I've taken some work home from the macs at work, but can't open it on my PC.
Footage was captured in FCP on a mac at work, HDV quicktime .mov, but won't open in the newest quicktime, windows media player and more importantly in Adobe After Effects CS3 or Premiere Pro CS3 on my PC at home.
When I try opening the files in quicktime, the screen is white, but the audio plays. They don't open in windows media player at all. When I try to import them into Premiere, I get a message reading, "Error Message, Codec missing or unavailable". But they import into After Effects, except they only play as white...
I've tried converting them into almost everything, and they often play (as .avi for example in the newest QT, WMP, Adobe Premiere and AE), but they increase A LOT in size and decrease A LOT in quality.
The HDV files that won't open read as:
Source: *.mov
Format: HDV 1080i50, 1920 x 1080, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), 48.000 kHz
Movie FPS: 25.00
Playing FPS: (Available when playing)
Data Size: 69.53 MB
Data Rate: 28.10 mbits/sec
Current time: 00:00:01.64
Duration: 00:00:20.76
Normal size: 1920 x 1080
Current size: 1920 x 1080
Anything smaller than 1920 x 1080 plays fine.
I've been all through google, and the adobe and apple sites, and the best I could find is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7753066#7753066
and
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8159317&#8159317
My problem is almost identical to these 2...
No one in the whole world seems to have an answer...
Does anyone here know how I can use the HDV files from the work macs on my PC at home?
-Kaiwin

As a rule of thumb, any CoDec associated with the Apple Pro applications is generally not available on Windows. This also includes their flavor of HDV. The only exception at this point is ProRes, for which they added a player component recently. So therefore this would have to be what you use for capture/ export from FCP. Apart from that you can of course always buy a capture card from Blackmagic or AJA with the benefit of the CoDecs being available cross-platform... Or you use a commercial software-only CoDec like Cineform.

Can't Export from FCE to QuickTime Movie w/o recompression

I have problems with choosing the correct settings for export of a FCE video clip to QuickTime Movie. I want the best possible quality (without recompression).
In the manual it says:
"Exporting a Self-Contained Movie Without Recompressing the Media
If you choose to export a self-contained movie, you have the option to not recompress the media in your clip or sequence. If you deselect the Recompress All Frames option and choose Current Settings from the Setting pop-up menu, Final Cut Express simply copies frames from existing media files into the new file with no recompression."
I can't find that option in FCE 4.01 - is it a mistake in the manual? My source media was captured from miniDV tape and the captured media file has the following formate:
Codec: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Linear PCM, Timecode
Color profile: SD (6-1-6)
Total bit rate: 29,794
My exported file has this format:
Dimensions: 720 x 480
Codec: Linear PCM, H.264
Color Profile: SD (6-1-6)
Audio Channels: 2
Total bit rate: 2,151
I have seen this question in the FCE archive and people simply say there is no recompression in FCE Export to QT Movie, but clearly there is since I see the H.264 codec listed in my output file and the bit-rate is a about 1/14th the rate of the original source material. The output file size is also much smaller. What gives. How can I get an unrecompressed file out of FCE so I can send it to a coworker for futher editing with his FCE.

Does anyone else have anything to add to this thread. I'm, sure I'm using Export to QuickTime Movie and not using QuickTime Conversion and from the file specifications I've given above, it is clear that a 14:1 compression took place.

Double check:
There are only three options in the QuickTime Movie export window.
1. Include: The Audio and Video, Audio Only or Video Only.
2. Markers: Select whateve you want or don't want.
3. The Make Movie Self-Contained selection check box.
Is this what you see?
The export will mirror the Sequence or selected part of the Sequence.

Hello there - I am sharing an iPhoto library across two accounts on the same computer - it works fine EXCEPT for Quicktime movies - they play on one account and claim I don't have the rights on the other - all permissions are on and ok?

It should be in the Users/ Shared folder.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Note the option to check and repair Library Permissions

How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb?

How do I make quicktime movies Fullscreen in iWeb? Can anyone help me please?

You have to create a QTL file that opens the QT movie in the player. Based on the settings it opens in Full Screen.

An alternative is to publish your movies to Vimeo and embed the movie in your page. These movies can play full screen.
Or use DivX of Flash Video.

Large Quicktime movie to fit i-DVD

Hi people,
I have a very quick, and slightly embarassing question...
I have a movie that is approx 85 minutes in length, shot on DV PAL. When I export it as a Quicktime movie, ready to burn on i-DVD, the overall file size is 18.05GB
i-DVD then compresses it down to 5.75GB, which is way too big for a 4.7GB DVD, which is what I need to burn it onto.
What I need to do is reduce the file size by a few GB. I've used the Custom setting and reduced the quality to approx 15% but the file size is still coming out at between 17.5GB and 18.05GB.
I've tried so many settings - adjusted frame rate, sound, quality etc and still I'm not able to reduce the file in order for it to be accepted on a 4.7GB disk.
Can someone please help and advise how I can reduce the file size.
Thanks
Alps

Hello Alps,
no hair pulling, please ... the stuff might end up in your DVD burner and then you're back to square one...
as i said, leave the movie as it is - iDVD is only interested in LENGTH (min)
i would recommend starting a new project. set the encoder settings first.
you'll find the encoder settings in your iDVD preferences under general. set them to best quality, this will automatically uncheck background encoding.
next import your movie and set up the menu. then go to the customize panel and click the status tab. iDVD will show you how much space each component is taking up on your disc. if everything is fine, choose file > save as disc image from the menu and get some coffee...
post back if there are problems (sure hope not)

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 (!!!)

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.
