Quicktime not playing any videos!

So here's the issue. Quicktime just isn't playing videos. Used to, suddenly stopped working. I'll open a video file, QT will launch, the window for the video comes up, but all i get is black screen, play icon switches to pause icon for about a second, then it goes back into a paused mode. Clicking play again does nothing. Video works fine on VLC, and quicktime video is playing fine in browsers (on Apple site, for example). What gives? No software updates coming up for QT.

Doesn't Quicktime automatically covert and play videos?
Not for formats it doesn't support, no. While QuickTime can play some AVI-format videos (AVI is just a container format and may use any number of different codecs), it can by no means play all of them, and XVID is not a supported codec in QuickTime. I'm not aware of any XVID plugin for QuickTime for Windows available at this time (the XVID consortium says that they're working on QT support, but no details have been made available as to timeframe), so you'll probably need to use some other player such as VLC Media Player to play your XVID AVI content.
Regards.

  • N86 Not playing any videos,N97 restarts frequently...

    My friend's N86 is not playing any videos,even those recored by the phone . Think it's a bug. Also he's not able to update the firmware.
    Now it plays the videos with the hard resetting.
    Is there any other solution to this problem ?
    Hope Nokia will come up with a new Firware update soon as we can't always do the same to play the videos.
    A N97 after updating to latest version(updated yesterday) started restarting frequently.The phone started to hang too. What might be the problem ?

    it is the 802.11n AEBS
    and it does seem to lose network connectivity only when the LinkStation is connected to the AEBS via ethernet (even when the LinkStation isn't turned on).
    the only time i can seem to get the AEBS to work properly and consistently is if i go entirely with wireless connectivity and the LinkStation is connected directly to the Mini via ethernet. which isn't my ideal setup

    Hey, i have an iphone 4, and it is upto date, the problem is that my phone does not play any videos online except on facebook, all other videos do not play instead a crossed play sign appears on the video. Please help.

    I watch YouTube videos on a regular basis - mostly with the YouTube app but also with Safari.
    Some YouTube videos are supported to be viewed on a computer only or with a Flash capable device, which is becoming few and far between since Adobe no longer supports Flash on any mobile platform.
    Sometimes I get this video cannot be played on this platform, but rarely.

  • FCP X will not play any video.

    FCP X will not play any video. I can skim the audio but can not playback anything. I can move things aroun in the timeline and do everthing else but no play. When I press play or space It will freeze with my favorite beach ball until I force quit. I have deleted all preferences and the app and reinstalled from scratch. Didn't change anything. I was able to export out a project without being able to see it untill the export finished, in full res with no issues.
    I am using an Imac 10 with Dual core 3.06ghz and 16gb ram on 10.6.8

    Spoke to Apple Rep today: Everything works in a new user. Duh I should have thought of that. He at first was telling me that 256 vram was barely enough to run FCPX  and my dual monitors was part of the problem with too many things on the bus 1 usb drive 2 usb printers 1 usb apc, Firewire 400 DVD and Lacie drive, and a Drobo He didn't like the Drobos.  Unhooked everything... Didn't help.
    He Did say that with A DSLR you must Render on import. Tried that Didn't help. I need tosee if that holds water. Off to figure out my User issues But at least I can get back to work.

  • ITunes 12 not playing ANY videos

    I am looking for help with iTunes 12 not playing ANY Purchased Videos or Previews.  I am running Yosemite and since installing both none of the videos work.  I only get the HDCP error messages.  I have nothing else hooked up to the Macbook Pro Mid 2012.  I can transfer videos to IPAD and IPHONE without any problems, just can't watch shows on my laptop.  Didn't have any of these issues prior to the two recent updates; both HD and SD worked just fine.

    I am having the exact same issue after I upgraded my early 2013 15" Macbook Pro Retina to Yosemite. I am unable to play any of my iTunes purchased movies either from iCloud or locally from my computer. I receive the HDCP error. I have no external monitor connected nor am I using AirPlay or anything of that nature. I even tried manually switching graphics cards and can't get any of them to play.
    I have a hunch that it has something to do with the Yosemite upgrade. Before I upgraded my OS, I did download and use iTunes 12 on Mavericks and had no issues playing my content. However right after the upgrade, I received the errors.

  • Quicktime will not play any video files

    When trying to play any compatible video files .mov, .mp4 etc... all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen. The computer is not frozen I can close the window with the red x. I can open Quicktime and the web stuff opens but opening a video file on the computer causes this. I confirmed the latest version of Quicktime in installed and I have confirmed the video files I'm trying to play work on another computer and the .mp4 file plays in media player on this computer. The video card driver is up to date. I want to play my .mov files from my iphone but can't.

    all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen.
    Curious ... I wonder if this is a blown-out display preference?
    Could you check something for me please? Create a new user account on the PC with full sdminidtrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. Try playing a file in the new account. Does it display properly?
    If it works okay in the new account, let's try to get things working in the normal account again with the instructions from the following thread:

      i've been using Premiere Pro for about a year and a half with no trouble, no crashes that i can remember.   I updated to 5.0.4 when it came out and experienced no problems.
    I have not made any changes to my system (drivers, programs, etc.) since the last time i worked with Premiere Pro with no trouble.  The only  difference is that i generated approx. 52GB of new video files (mov. uncompressed 32bit 640x480 resolution) that i was beginning to edit in to a music video.
    My current problem is:: there is absolutely no playback of video in 5.0.4.   not in the tiny project window preview,  not in the source preview, and not in the timeline/canvas window.   when i push PLAY, the button turns into a square STOP button, but nothing happens.   this is independent of project or file type.  The project i was working on when playback stopped is using uncompressed 640x480 32bit Quicktime files and one 44khz/16bit .AIFF file.   as a quick doublecheck, I just added a 640x480 Apple Intermediate Codec file and it also will not play back.   I opened older projects and none of them will playback.
    My problem started while i was working on a project.  I was working on the project for probably an hour and a half with no trouble.  Then it seemed to get a bit sluggish and i could hear the HD churning a little more.   After rendering out a short section (just under 10 seconds), PPro did not play back the just rendered (now greenline) section.  Immediate playback of rendered material was the default behavior, and this was the first time ever that the just rendered section did not play back.   I then discovered that no video would play back at all--in any of the windows.   I can scrub through all the video without any trouble--all the frames are there.  
    I shut down PPro, & restarted.  No change.   I restarted my computer.  No change. 
    Realizing that the problem was likely related to a lack of space on my data drive,  i deleted approx. 500GB of files off my 2 TB drive, leaving just under a 1/3 of it free.  i checked the drive for errors, and defragmented it.  Premiere Pro still wouldn't play any file from any project.
    The files are fine, they will playback anywhere else (several different file types involved in different projects).  The files are compatible with Premiere Pro (uncompressed VGA resolution Quicktime .mov), i was editing on the timeline with them for hours before all video playback stopped.   All other Adobe programs  (After Effects, Photoshop work fine).
    I tried to find an answer/solution on these forums, unsuccessfully.   After uninstalling PPro and reinstall (did not help), and entire Suite uninstall, Adobe Clean, and reinstall,  neither version 5.0.0 or 5.0.4 will play video --the no playback problem has persisted.
    I was running out of HD space --i had less room than i thought -- down to about 7% of free space, a bone-headed move on my part.  I'm not  surprised that playback performance got compromised due to lack of space.   But i'm shocked that the problem is persisting.   Fortunately, i had just backed up my entire system the day before.  (i've backed up many times before and this never affected PPro performance)
    i tried to "CLEAN" the media cache for the sequence but it had no effect  (in searching the forums, i saw somebody else have their 'crashing Premiere Pro' problem solved by hitting this button).  I just took a look in the user/application support/adobe/common/5.0 to look at the "Media Cache" folder and the "Media Cache Files" folder.   Neither of them are empty, even after hitting the CLEAN cache button in the main preferences 'Media' settings window.   I don't know if this is the correct behavior or not.   (i'd expect a "clean" command to empty the folder, but i'm not the programmer)
    This does not appear to be the ATI/5.0 problem that so many Mac users suffered (i was lucky to never have that problem).    Again, i've never had any problems with Premiere Pro over the last year and a half, until working on this latest project with the Hard Drive very low on space.   I'm 99.9% positive that's at the heart of the issue.
    I don't understand why a clean reinstall did not help in this regard.  The problem is clearly PPro specific.   I found one topic in the forum where someone else experienced this same "no video playback" problem, but there was never follow-up from the user saying whether or not his problem was solved (or what was done to correct the problem).
    I'd love to get some help--- seems to be a very rare issue, but right now, i can do no video editing.  btw,  i started a new project as well and imported a .mov file -- same problem, no video playback.
    the weird thing is that i can actually still edit video.  i just rearranged my timeline assets and rendered out a minute-long quicktime (Apple Intermediate Codec) .mov and it looks and plays as it should.    This is really weird.  I'm baffled -- there must be some way to fix this.   I don't want to have to go back to Final Cut,  certainly not when i've already paid for Create Suite 5 Production Premium and EVERYTHING works except for video playback in PrPro.
    thanks in advance for your help

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

  • Quicktime not playing .mov videos captured with my iPad2

    I moved some videos that I took with my iPad to my macbook pro, but quicktime will not play them (.mov files). What's the deal?

    On the camera and after the transfer from camera to computer the files ended in .tod, as they always have. I had originally exported them into H.264, but the video quality was fairly shotty compared to what I typically get when exporting to .mov, and I really need the better quality. My biggest question is really why QuickTime will not play the converted .mov files now when it used to. What's the deal with it?
    You say you are exporting to MOV. However, as QTKirk previously pointed out, MOV is a file format and not a compression format. So we still have no idea what video format you are converting to when you select the "Export to QuickTime" option. If you are using the default MPEG Streamclip video compression format for this export option, then you are converting the TOD file video to the Motion JPEG A compression format. Although I do not have a problem using it, according to the Apple Web Site, Motion JPEG is supported by Snow Leopard but no longer natively supported by Lion.

  • Quicktime not playing any of my movies

    i've run software update recently and now Quicktime won't play any of my movies (that used to work just fine...). Now it opens fine, but if i try to open a movie (avi, mpeg4, whatever...) it just "beach balls" and i have to Force Quit (it shows not responding...). Does anyone know how i can fix this? it's so annoying!

    There may be an encoding issue with the files. Can you play them if you download the VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html)?
