Quicktime movies play a half scrambled screen in Windows XP with QT7

Sometimes the quicktime movies in windows xp will only play 1/2 screen and thats scrambled. The lower part of screen is usually a pixaly blue color. The Apple quicktime movies for fcp demos are like that. The same files play fine on my mac. What can I do to correct this if anything.
I am running the latest version of quicktime for windows
Thanks,

Install OPlayer HD and enable the QuickTime plugin to play your movies.

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
I have noticed that only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone, does anyone know why?
Thanks,

Depends on how the movies are encoded for Quicktime (i.e. which compression/codec). The iPhone supports only H.264 video.

Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Error -43: file not found" errors

Summary:
With the combination of Windows 7 and Quicktime 7.x, Quicktime would fail to write/export to server windows share with "Couldn't create output movie storage" and "Error -43: file not found" errors
Steps to Reproduce:
Trying to render to Quicktime files using network shared folders as a destination:
Unable to open file. (-1610153459)
The funny thing: it only happens when there are at least two shared folders mapped on the workstation, and the destination folder used for the rendered movie is not the first one.
If we have only two mapped drives, F: and G: for example, and we try to render something to F:, everything works fine and no error is showed. But, when the destination is the G: drive, rendering never works, the error is showed, but a zero-byte file is created in F: (!!). ODD! If we remap F: drive with a different letter, but a letter BEFORE G:, the problem always happens. If we remap drive F: to any letter AFTER G:, making G: the first available network drive, rendering works. Also, simply unmapping F: and leaving G: as the only connected network folder makes render to work.
We do not have a D: drive in our Windows 7 workstations, they are all C: only.
It is a 100% reproducible problem. We tried with three different Active Directory networks and workstations. It has all of the features of a software bug.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
Expected Results:
Error -43: file not found
Actual Results:
The workaround seems to be to use the full path to the servers instead of the mapped mount point (ie //server/z/... instead of Z:/...
Regression:
All versions of quicktime 7 in combination with windows 7 client and more than one smb share point mapped in a letter.
Notes:
All software that uses quicktime movie exports showed this error.

Not sure what file your are referencing? Thanks for your suggestion, however, it's not relavant.
It renders fine if you render to either the UNC path or the first mapped drive.
i.e. If you have two mapped drives G: and H:
they both point to \\fileserver\share1\folder
If you render to H: it will fail, if you render to G: it works! Same path, same user, same permissions.
The only difference is H comes after G, so it fails... BUG. If it was to do with anything else, underscores, permissions etc, it would fail on both.

Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music??

I have Xfi Extreme Music (SB0640). In installed the lastes drivers for windows 7 (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://forums.creative.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/#]Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi series driver 2.8.003 [/url]), When I run a speaker test all 6 speakers work, however when I use media player, media center etc. Only the front left speaker works.
Do I need to install creative Alchemy?
Console Launchers does not load on boot
Any asistance will be appreciated
Thanks in advance

NRe: Sound only plays in Front left speak on Windows 7 with Xfi Extreme Music? You will need to have the Creative Console Launcher which will let you have CMSS-3d or Creative Multichannel Surround Sound. You can find the newest version for your card here......

Honestly though, dont bother with just that. Get Daniel K.'s X-FI support pack which is updated with the newest drivers and applications for your card. Plus, he tweaked those with fixes for installation/integration? under operating systems other than XP.
That can be found here.......

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.
Specs: IOS 10.6.8
Processor 2.4GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3 -- Everything is edited, sourced, and stored on an 2TB external hard drive to make things go faster.
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.

Help! Quicktime Movies playing only five still frames

When I try and play quicktime movies on my PC (Windows Vista) they play back with sound, but only five still frames from the movie play on the screen. How do i fix the problem?
I'm running windows vista and Quicktime 7.3.1. The problem shouldn't be the video card as all my other video player applications playback fine.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have found the solution to this problem I presented.
Sorry, I didn't realize that a computer monitor cannot support these images accurately.
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rossshane/fcpfaq.php
I had a Canopus ADVC-110 sitting right here.
Plugged it up to the TV,
and the images appeared fine.
But this brings up one more question:
Is there a way to have all these images from Final Cut accurately displayed on a computer monitor ?
I've got a lot of more of them around than TVs . . .
Sorry to have bothered you with this, but I would appreciate further information on displaying the images on a computer monitor.
Thanks !

Why doesn't QuickTime movies play on iPad?

When I get a QuickTime movie attachment in email why won't it play on my ipad2. I thought QuickTime was a Apple product?

You can only use QuickTime Player 7 to play that 12 year old format.

My older M-JPEG quicktime movies play black in Quicktime and Keynote

I was just recently asked to give a presentation that I had put together 3 years ago in Keynote. All of my quicktime movies that Keynote were using were M-JPEG and used to all play great the last time I opened my file. Since Then I've updated my OS to 10.7.1, I have a Macbook Pro, Quicktime 10.1, Keynote 09, but also have Quicktime Pro.
When I play my keynote, all of my movies come up black when they play. If I try and open my quicktime movies directly and play them in Quicktime or Quicktime pro, they also come up black. But I can open it in VLC and it plays fine.
I tried to start converting the quicktime movies using SmartConverter, but it's time consuming since I have over 50 quicktime movies that this keynote is referencing. Some of the quicktime movies are also erroring out too when trying to convert them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with M-JPEG quicktime movies that used to work just fine? Anything I could do across the board to be able to use these rather than converting them all?
Thanks,
Dale

QuickTime in Lion is not reliable as of 10.7.1. The next OS update will fix this. Should be out tomorrow when Apple updates all of its software for iCloud.
See if your problems are gone then.

Quicktime Movies playing 4:3 in Widescreen Menus???

I have exported a 30 second Quicktime movie that was shot and edited in Anamorphic in Final Cut Pro by doing the following:
1) File --- Export ----- Quicktime Movie --- Current Settings ---- Video Only
I then set up the Movie Theatre opening menu in DVD Studio Pro in 16:9 Mode. I then imported the 30 second Quicktime movie that I just made in DVD SP and put it in the menu's drop zone. When I went to simulate the menu, the menu was playing in 4:3 mode in the 16:9 drop zone. Heads are getting cut off.
What am I doing wrong? Am I exporting wrong from FCP or is there a menu button or drop zone button that I am not pressing in DVD SP that I should be?
All I want to happen is that the QT movie that I exported from FCP play in perfect widescreen mode in a 16:9 menu in DVD SP.
Thanks in advance

If the material is anamorphic then turn on the check mark in the anamorphic column in the browser and the video should display as 16:9.

Quicktime movies play slow

Hi, i`m having a big trouble (well, at least for me) with QT.
Every movie I play on it, plays very slow, almost frame by frame.
My PC has the following:
AMD Duron 900Mhz
354 MB RAM
SOYO K7VLM-B Motherboard
nVidia GeForce MX4000 with 64MB memory
Seagate 40 GB 5,400 rpm HDD
Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime 7.0.2
My other PC works fine with it. Of course it does, it has:
Intel Celeron 1.7 Ghz
768 MB RAM
Acorp Motherboard
nVidia GeForce FX5200 with 128MB memory
Samsung 80GB 7,200 rpm
Windows XP Pro SP2
Quicktime 7.0.2
So what's the problem i've with my duron machine? I have al minimum system requirements for using QT 7
Thanks.
Windows XP Pro

Your older computer is too underpowered to play videos encoded using H.264.
The "minimum" requirements are only for the install. Your machine can also not play HD content without slow playback and dropped frames.
If more than one size is offered (like the Movie Trailers pages) pick the smallest. Avoid anything with HD in its name.
My G3 Mac also has troubles with the newer content but plays older formats just fine.

Why won't my movie play from the title screen?

Can a QuickTime movie play for more than 60 seconds per page

Can a Quicktime movie be set to play for more than 1 minute per page in Keynote. I have clips that run up to 3 minutes. For now I have pulled the clip into 3 different pages and set the times to match but I get a 10 second delay between the pages that is very distracting.

Yes I am trying to set up an automatic transition after the movie has played. I have still photos between the movies. I want the entire presentation to be self running. I did use the special builds in and out and have the action set at none. The movie clip will not run more than 60 seconds?

Black Screen Installing Windows 7 with Bootcamp

I know it sounds like a known problem, but if tried alot of solutions i found on internet but noting worked yet.
Here is some information:
Mac Mini mid 2011 (2.7 GHz)
I've installed windows before, but I have added a second SSD. al workes fine.
Installed OS X with a backup on de new SSD. Tried to start Windows with Parallels, but it couldn't find it anymore.
No problem I thought just format the old hdd and reinstall windows.
Now this is what happens:
I start bootcamp. let it make a usb drive with an windows iso and the support software.
Now I create a partition on the hdd (150GB should do it).
Mac restarts. I hear the startup tune. A short white screen.
But then a black screen. no windows logo, or whatelse.
I tried reseting NVRAM.
I found a lot of sites telling me to delete some files, but that is very difficult when there are no files.
I tried a lot of restarts and selecting the booting device. And just waiting for a few hours, but the screen stays black.
I even tried a partition on the SSD and using the whole hdd.
So what is the problem? I'm out of idea's.

Another thing I forgot to mention was that when I had windows, installed and running and had black screen issue on rebooting, I used to verify and repair my permissions using disk utility. All my permissions would get fixed and windows would boot up fine. But however when trying to do a clean install of Windows 7 over the past few days, all but one permission does not get fixed. Apple's support site says it can be safely ignored. But I feel this could be causing my problem. Here is the error from disk utility:
Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.

Audio Dropouts on H.264 Quicktime movies playing from CD ROM or DVD ROM

I've been consistently having trouble getting H.264 .mov files saved on a CD-Rom or DVD-ROM to play back smoothly on Windows computers. The files will open, but there always seems to be sporadic audio dropouts, every 5-10 seconds the audio will drop out for half a second or so. This doesn't appear to be affecting the video.When the files are copied to the hard drive, the problem goes away, and the problem isn't present at all when playing back on Macs (regardless of whether the file is on a disc or on the HD).
I've read elsewhere on this forums that this is perhaps a data-rate problem, but this really doesn't make any sense to me, seeing as these are highly compressed, very small files (5 fps on the video, audio is AAC mono, 32kbps). Unless my understanding of data rate is completely backwards, a DVD Video or Audio CD would have a much higher data-rate. Seeing as Macs have no problem with this, I'm inclined to think it's some sort of problem with Windows' ability to handle AAC audio. If anyone has any experience with this, and/or ideas for a solution, I would greatly appreciate some feeback.
Thanks!

If the problem goes away when the file is copied to the hard drive, then the problem is almost certainly with the data transfer rate from the CD/DVD drive. If the problem were with Windows decoding H.264 and/or AAC, the problem would also appear for files copies to the hard drive. H.264 is a pretty data-intensive format, so it could easily exceed the available data rate of a CD or DVD. (note that file size will make no difference; it's the data rate, which comes from a combination o the image size of the video and the compression of the video and audio tracks) that's the only factor).
Run QuickTime Player, open one of the videos, and open the Movie Inspector for the movie (Window -> Show Movie Inspector). Then take a look at the data rate and compare that to the data rate of your CD/DVD drive. If the drive's rate is lower, you have your answer. If it shows that it should be able to handle the data rate, you may need to update or replace the drivers for your CD/DVD drive and/or update the drive's firmware.
Hope this helps.
