Quicktime not playing internet videos

please help! quicktime works very well with iTunes and by itself but it gets stumped when put up against a "challenging" task like playing a youtube video!

That should not be the spec the site say will work are the following: copied from their site.
HQ Downloads are large files (approx. 300-400MB) and will take between 60-180 minutes to download. You MUST have a stable high-speed internet connection (DSL, Cable, T1, T3) to download these movies. Dial-up and ISDN connections will time-out and you will not get your download.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS - WINDOWS:
• A Pentium processor-based PC or compatible computer
• At least 500MB of free hard disk space
• At least 128MB of RAM
• Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or XP
My machine far exceed what they are saying you need. I guess they could be wrong though. I dropping out I think my problem and brownieboy are different.

Flash player not playing internet video content

HP Pavillion 60-1120 Touchsmart
My flash player is not playing internet video?? Any ideas.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
Try the following.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Desktop.
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/current/uninstall_flash_player.exe
When the download has completed, close all browser windows and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
Next, download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.
Regards,
DP-K

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.

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.

New to Quicktime-Please Help-Not Playing Streaming Video

_PLEASE HELP, I AM NEW TO THIS._ I can't see that Quicktime is playing streaming videos. I have the latest version of Quicktime including Perian and every other plug-in I can find. In System Preferences I have tried Automatic and Custom (Port 80) for the Transport Protocol. I have everything checked in the MIME settings. In Safari Preferences I have all the plug-ins enabled. The streaming videos play in Safari, but if I try to open ANY URL in Quicktime, it says URL INVALID. THANK YOU.

I dont believe you can put a youtube link in quicktime itself. An easy way to download them however is to add &fmt=18 for HQ videos or &fmt=22 for HD videos to the end of the youtube url ex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRSbC6HAgNE&fmt=18 Then load that page and then in safari click window then activity. Find the one with the largest size (should be the only one in MB) and double click on it. THen it will download to where you set safari to download your files.

Blackberry 8830 World Edition -- won't play internet video

I cannot get my Blackberry 8830 World Edition to play internet video, such as YouTube videos, etc.
When I click to play them on my phone, I get this message:
"a problem occurred when trying to render page"
Can anyone help?

If I'm not mistaken, you need OS 4.5 to do that and OS 4.5 has not been "officially" released yet despite what RIM tried to suggest in an email they sent out the "Blackberry Owners Lounge" members a month or so ago. I'm running the latest beta of OS 4.5 and it runs Youtube vids with a small tweak.
Unfortunately, you'll probably just need to wait until RIM finally gives us 4.5 officially.

HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

Flash player 11.8 does not play YouTube video Windows 7 Enterprise

Since I spent days troubleshooting this, I thought I might save others the same.
Environment:
windows 7 enterprise 32 bit (System meets requirements for flash player)
Workstation part of an AD Domain
Occurs on all workstations
Using a proxy to access the internet (this is not the problem as chrome works fine and HTML5 works fine)
Flash Player 11.8
Browsers: IE 8, IE9, IE10, FireFox, Chrome
Chrome plays videos fine
HTML5 Player plays fine in all browsers
IE8, 9, and 10 do not play videos; it starts to play then loops then dies with youtube error message
FireFox does not play youtube videos same as IE
I tried all solutions found on the internet, adjusting browser settings or uninstalling and reinstalling flash none of it worked.
solution down grade flash player

"Chrome plays videos fine
HTML5 Player plays fine in all browsers"
Chrome has its own embedded Flash Player - the installed version DOESN'T affect it.
HTML5 DOESN'T use Flash (It's MP4 or webm)
Download the Flash Player uninstaller. Flash Player uninstaller
Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the following links.
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
SAVE all files.
On each workstation:
Run the uninstaller to remove both ActiveX and regular Flash Player.
Reboot and then run the installers to replace both plugins.
Check to be sure FP is enabled for IE: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/885448

What do I do?I can open youtube but could not play the video's? I can play the video in youtube when I use Explorer.

I have updated to Firefox 14.01 and Java.
I could open youtube but could not play the video's.
But when I use Internet Explorer the video in youtube is fine.
What should I do?

There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings.
* Support article with workarounds: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].
* If you want to keep using your Real downloader, consider disabling the new protected mode in Flash 11.3. See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493 Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector. This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it? Please help.
Thank you

Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

Hi Mohan_111
Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia forum!
Things to try:
1. Uninstall and reinstall the Youtube downloader.
Restart your phone
1. Press and hold the power button until the phone vibrates and switches off.
2. Switch your phone on again.
Reset the settings
Restore the original factory settings (Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore). This reset will not delete any data on your phone it will just restore the settings back to default state.
Update the software
Make sure your phone is running the latest software. Use Nokia Suite to update or reinstall the phone software.

Safari not playing streaming video

Hi,
For some reason safari 4.3 is not playing streaming video such as that shown on CNN. Also, my Macbook is not playing streaming audio. If any of you folks can help with an answer I'd appreciate the help. I am using 10.61 on both machines.
Thanks
