Quicktime Movies Requiring Internet

I was wondering if there was a way to save a Quicktime movie that requires the internet (ex. The Macworld 2006 presentation from the Apple site) such that it won't require the internet so I can view it WHEREVER I am?
Thanks in advance.

"Streaming media" isn't cached (like a downloaded file would be) so there is no way to save the downloaded file as a "Favorite" would do.
You set the size of your download cache by setting preferences in the QuickTime System Preferences.
Any other QuickTime format would be "saved" in the cache (size you set) and you can mark them as "Favorites" and even view offline (from that cache).
The cache will drop the oldest viewed file first when your size limit is reached.

ITunes and Quicktime - Movie requires Quicktime which is not supported

Ok.
Issue is: Movies and TV shows bought thru iTunes (10.5.1) on Lion (10.7.2) generate an error at time of playback. Error is 'This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes."
Help documents state to switch to 32 bit mode (which works).
Here's what I've found out:
Called Apple, couldn't figure out what the issue is. Did the standard system/disk checks/repairs/permission repairs to no avail. Created a new user to download the video to try and play it.. The user was able to stream the video correctly.
I can play the videos IF I access them directly with QuickTime (and it doesn't need the 32 bit flag checked). So, I copied my library files for iTunes over to the new account and tried again (before doing a file by file comparison of both user accounts) to see if maybe the size of the library I have might be an issue.
Logged into the other account and it now had the issue playing the TV show.
But, I don't consider that a valid test because I should have copied the file into it's existing library before replacing it to check and see if there's an issue with the file in iTune.
which led me to an interesting solution.. If I find the file on the drive (my Library files and all videos are on a NAS server, btw) in Finder then tell iTunes to remove the video from iTunes but not delete the file, I can drag and drop the file back into iTunes and it plays fine.
So, no need to switch to 32 bit mode, just have to delete the video from iTunes (but not the drive) then drag and drop it back into iTunes.
It sounds like, for some systems, something isn't being toggled in the iTunes library or the File when it's added to iTunes via the downloader that allows iTunes to recognize the type of playback version required. By deleting the reference in the library then manually adding it back in, the issue is bypassed and the videos are playable again.
I have a headache now... ;D

Try reinstalling QuickTime Player, You can download it directly from Apple here -> http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
If that doesn't work, try reinstalling iTunes which should also reinstall QuickTime Player.

Saving quicktime movies from internet

i used to be able to choose file,save as & whatever quicktime movie i had viewed & chose to save would end up in the proper place. now, i go through all the same steps & the movie/file gets saved but when i try & open i get an ALERT:
QuickTime cannot open the file: "01.mpeg"
it is not a file that QuickTime understands (-2048).
is there an easy way to save movies from the web anymore?

i didnt need it before. i think it all changed the last QT update i ran. HELP feature said to ckick down button on player, did that & yeah, it looks like it leads me to a purchasing link. thanks for your time. i guess all i can do is save as a bookmark & wait for it to load when i want it.

TS3771 My iTunes U no longer works since the update, an error message pops up saying that "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed the tutorial that suggests to change to from 64 to 32 bit and it didn't

iTunes U video files no longer work on my computer since i update to Mavericks. The following message appears on the screen "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes." I followed a tutorial that suggested to go to Applications/iTunes/Get Info and change to 32 bit. Now my iTunes does not open at all, it says it requires 64 bit. I am a bit confused and disappointed. What should I do to get it fixed? Buy a new MacBook?

Marcello, I am having the same problem. When following the advice of many in the community to start iTunes in 32-bit mode, I get the following error after I have done so:
I am running 10.9.2 on a mac mini.
I am hoping this will be fixed or at least a solid answer could be given that iTunes will no longer support certain types of media going foward.

This movie requires QuickTime error message

I have a new Mac, the latest OS, the latest QuickTime and the latest iTunes. Furthermore, all of my movies/TV shows are purchased via iTunes, so there are no dodgy ripped versions / home movies / media conversions or whatever. It is all Apple from hardware to software to media purchase.
So, I get this message "The movie requires QuickTime which is not supported by this version of iTunes". It seems odd to me that somebody has actually written such an error message in the first place. How can any version of iTunes not support QuickTime, and yet, there is an "official" iTunes error message. Maybe it actually means "This movie requires (an older vesion of) Quicktime which is not supported?"
Anyway, I have researched this already, of course, and there seems no agreed way of dealing with it. Some say rebooting works (if only), others say run it in 32 bit mode (it crashes), others say start it up in safe mode etc. I cannot make it work. A few diagnistic things that may help:
I had several TV series of a show working fine. I downloaded a new series of the show, and now none of the series of that show play, and the artwork has gone.
I tried deleting some shows and adding them to the library again, but they don't add. iTunes behaves as if the files simply aren't there - but they are.
I can go to these shows and double click and they open and play with QuickTime with no problem, so the files are there, and work, and presumably have whatever "codecs" or whatever that are needed to play them.
If anyone out there can help, I'd be really grateful.
Oh, and a message for Apple, if anybody there bothers monitoring these things... This makes me really angry. I pay top dollar for your hardware and software becuase "it just works", then I have to pay a fortune for media bought through iTunes, which is usually far, far cheaper on DVD, and what do I get for that? Constant misery from iTunes. This is far from the first problem I have had. I don't rip or pirate stuff, I'm not trying anything clever, I don't have all sorts of rubbish installed on my Mac, or try running Windows or whatever. I am a simple Mac customer, running your basic stuff, and buying my media from you, and IT DOESN'T WORK. Pathetic! I wish to God I had never got into the whole Apple thing a few years back, which is something I constantly warn friends about if they say they like the look of my Mac.

Have you compared the downloads using "Get Info" to see if the failing ones have some common attribute that the successful ones don't have? For example, might either the failing or the successful ones be M4V files while the opposite attribute is something else?
The other thing I've thought of is to ask whether you have any i-Devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.) that enter into the problem. If you have any, they're not involved, right?

This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

I know many people are also having this problem and some solved the issue by running the app in 32 bit mode. Unfortunately, when I do that, iTunes warns me that I have to open the application in 64 bits.
For those of you who don't know about the problem, here is the issue. When I try to play a lecture video in iTunes U, application prompts this error message and does not play the video no matter what.
This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes.

Delete the content and download it again. If you've moved the iTunes library to a secondary volume, move it back to your home folder.

Try installing the most recent version of the QuickTime Player for Windows:

Hi .
Apple no longer supports Safari for Windows if that's what you are asking > Apple apparently kills Windows PC support in Safari 6.0
Microsoft has not written IE for Safari for many years.

This movie requires QuickTime which is not supported ??

Ok. A strange thing just happened.
I just tried to watch a movie trailer on my MacBook Pro, everything is up to date, no visible updates, mavericks OS.
I get the spinning beach-ball for thirty seconds, then a message pops up saying-
"This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes"
What in earth is going on?
I'd love some help.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. I've just been reading some of the discussions.
All I know is that I didn't buy a mac to have this kind of stupid problem. I'm not going to start deleting things and messing around with files. It's supposed to just work properly.
I mean, I'm using iTunes on a mac, what more do I need to to.
I don't want any elaborate solutions. I want Apple to say, 'Sorry we realise there has been a bit of a hiccup, we're aware and we're fixing it right now. An update and a fix is on it's way'.
So as of this point I can't watch movies on iTunes. I'm pretty sure the millions Apple will be losing by the day will encourage a quick fix.

QuickTime Movie File-Uploads on iWeb but no playback on the internet

Hello, Forum Techies,
Always trying to go beyond and want a movie clip on my website, but I may have met my match
I have the following QuickTime Movie file uploaded to the web page as noted below.
The file extension is MVI_038-#3-13. The file size is 663.8 Mbs
The website space is 1 GB using 10 Mbs upload speed.
The movie clip does not play on the website.
Question arising: I believe the space is sufficient on the website, but not sure if it this is a internet speed issue? I have other movies mounted successfully on another website, but their file size is not a huge and the webspace is not as much.
Therefore, I am curious to know if it is an internet speed issue?
Here is the URL for the page that I have included the movie clip:
http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Backgrounder_Trail_Scouting.html
It's a well visited site internationally and because it is a major project in our County, documenting the construction of a new trail is an interesting feature to include on this website.
Hope there is a solution. And, YouTube is not an alternative because for some strange reason I cannot get signed on no matter what efforts have been made with Google and I am not able to find a channel that applies to this kind of a movie, which is not entertainment, musical, etc. It's an information-based movie.
Thanks!

This is the movie :
http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Media/MVI_0368-%233-13.MOV
It's not an extension, it's the filename. Sanatize it.
Size = 632MB (Megabyte)
663.8Mbs = Megabits per seconds = speed
Videosize = 1280 x 720px
Filesize after download = 10.3MB (download stops at this size)
Nobody will wait for this.
Resize you movie to something smaller ie. width x height = smaller filesize.
Use common sense.

HT1390 this movie requires quicktime which isn't supported by this version of iTunes, 10.6, when trying to play rented movies?

anyone ever gotten the message:this movie requires quicktime which isn't supported by this version of iTunes, 10.6, when trying to play rented movies?

ITunes rented movies won't play on my PC. "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include. So I downloaded QT but movies still won't play. HELP

iTunes rented movies won't play on my PC. "This movie required QuickTime which this version of iTunes doesn't include." So I downloaded QT 7 but movies still won't play. HELP Very frustrating.

Ok nw the rented film is on the iPad which won't play and when I looked at the Mac I was greeted with an error message saying that the film could nt be transferred because the file had already been transferred somewhere else! Thing is I can see it on theioad and the Mac still!
Obviously the film Kees checking where it as you can't watch it in two places at the same time. I can understand that but I knw it's not anywhere else.
The only thing I can think of is if when time machine backs it up it thinks it's being watched!
Any ideas anyone?

This movie requires Quicktime???

Relevent stats:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
iTunes 11.1
Started getting this error today, for seemingly no reason. When I start iTunes I get the message that some video files require Quick Time to play, which is no longer included with iTunes. Every video that I click on brings up "This movie requires Quick Time, which is not included in this version of iTunes. To play this movie, install Quick Time." I never got the initial message before today and I am getting the error trying to play movies that I have watched before, both in iTunes and on ATV. I have tried closing and restarting iTunes and rebooting the system; no change. Is there a fix for this, or do I need to do a complete reinstall?
Edit: When I click on the "More Info" link in the message bubble, it takes me to an old iTunes 10.5 support article. ***?
Message was edited by: killer_junior

Update:
I have done a full re-install of iTunes and still have the same issue. I have also tried streaming to the ATV, but it is now telling me that there is no media in this library. I have not changed any of my home sharing settings and I have verified the settings in iTunes and ATV. Everything looks like it should be working.
Incidentally, my video card has failed. I'm wondering if this might be related.

QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later ERROR

I had been using QuickTime without a problem for several months, when all of a sudden I started getting an error that says "QuickTime Player requires Windows 2000 or later..." and QuickTime refuses to open. The strange thing is that QuickTime still works in my internet browser, it just cannot launch movies or open from my local machine. So, basically I guess the browser plug-in is unaffected. iTunes also works fine.
I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit. My graphics card is an nVidia 8800GTX. My Windows, graphics drivers, QuickTime and iTunes are all up to date. I have made sure Compatibility Mode is disabled in the QuickTime.exe properties.
Any idea what the issue could be?

I found the solution to my problem. It's actually pretty obvious, but I did have the "Run as an Administrator" option checked in the compatibility tab of the QuickTime.exe. I didn't think that could be a problem I guess, but when I unchecked it... QuickTime starting working again.
This might not be the solution for everyone with these symptoms but make sure NOTHING is checked in the compatibility tab.

Quicktime Movie compression question

This is a G5 using 10.5.8 and Final Cut Pro 5.1.4.
I'd like to submit a how-to video to a contest, and the maximum allowable size is 500 MB. My movie is presently three times that size. Is there any way I can compress a QT movie to a smaller size without too much loss of quality, or do I have to just keep editing and chopping away at the video until I get it down to one-third the length it is now? I'm afraid I'll lose too much how-to information if I do that.
I exported the 7 min. 26 sec. video as a QuickTime movie to see what size file it was, and it came out 1.58 Gigabytes.
Under Export, I see that there are also options to export to Compressor or Using QT Conversion. Can anyone tell me how, or where to find out how, to export this video at its present length, but as a smaller file, without losing too much quality? The contest will accept a variety of video formats, but when I converted the project to AVI or MP4 (Using QT Player) the quality got really bad, with a lot of artifacts, halos, etc.
Any advice appreciated.
Tom

Thanks Ben--it looks like it will take care of things. I note that this method shrinks down the QT viewing window and cuts down on the number of frames per second, but the quality isn't reduced too much. By doing that I will be able to send them the full 7.5 minutes of my video, reduced to a file size of about 450 MB, down from 1.58 GB.
This how-to contest asks you to send them your video over the Internet, but I don't know whether they're viewing and judging the videos on a computer or not. If they're not, then they're going to be viewing mine in a pretty small window on whatever monitor or TV they use, but it still beats chopping the video down to practically nothing so that I could send it to them in full quality.
Thanks much for taking the time to help me out.
Best wishes,
Tom
