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 .mov files

    i have a problem with quicktime. it doesn't play .mov files. if i try to play .mov files that are embedded in a .pdf file, a window opens but stays blank, although the progress bar moves. if i try to open the files in quicktime, there's no window, just the progress bar that moves. i run the latest version. i've already tried reinstalling - didn't help, uninstalling completely and installing - didn't help.
    help?
    many thanks!

    Quicktime>Quicktime Player Preferences>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that Streaming-Streaming movies is enabled (checked).
    While you’re at it make sure all the boxes are enabled by clicking on the corresponding triangles so that they are pointed down.
    This will show the “hidden” boxes especially the *QuickTime Movie* box. This box will enable you to play .mov files.
    Click the OK button.

  • Quicktime not playing movies

    I have quicktime pro and am trying to play my movies. Usually I put the dvd in and qt reads and plays the movie by default. I don't understand why this is not happening anymore - any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thank you

    According to the Quicktime Pro manual it should.........and there is no mention of third party software needed. I was sold this product to burn my DVD collection and Quicktime cannot even play a DVD... Here is the manual text:
    Opening and Playing Movies in QuickTime Player
    You can use QuickTime Player to play media stored on your computer’s hard disk, a CD,
    a DVD, or the Internet.
    To open a movie on your hard disk, a CD, or a DVD, do one of the following:
    Â In the Finder (or Windows Explorer), double-click the file or drag it to the QuickTime
    Player application icon.
    Â Choose File > Open and select the file.

  • 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 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.

    Why does Quicktime tell me it can't play certain videos created with my Phantom 2 v3 drone ? I fly the drone and switch back and forth from video to still pics and while I may have filmed four videos , sometimes Quicktime tells me that one of them can't be played . Checking the info shows that each of the unplayed videos was saved in the same mp4 format as the playable ones yet some of my most important videos won't play . It's getting very frustrating .

    first; I use Perian, that helps even though it is no longer supported, (must have for avi files)
    the apple-cores at apple have gotten very sloppy -- quicktime is a bit finicky and flakey. 
      example,   occasionally (when copy file from quad's card to hard drive)  the avi will show up as a 'mov' file and qt plays it no problem and no conversion.
    but that is very occasionally,  most of the time qt won't convert the file,   -- iMovie won't open an avi without Perian installed  ,  I don't know how that effects qt.
    qt 7"pro" is no good either, (qt 10 does everything it does and for NOT the extra $35)  
    I have gone to VLC  and MPlayerX  for direct playback for drones and cameras.  

  • Quicktime 7.6 NOT playing movie trailers from Apple site???

    I have all the latest software OSX 10.56 running on a 3.06GHz Intel Duo but Quicktime 7.6 will not play movie trailers when on the Apple site. When I try, the site advises I need the latest Quicktime which I have already downloaded and installed fresh. It just doesn't seem to recognize it no matter which movies I try and view.
    Please help if you can?
    Thanks

    It's a piece of component software that's used by QuickTime to allow it to decode or encode different types of video/audio formats. The issue for me was that I had an old codec still in my system that should have been deleted/replaced during the last update, but was not. So when QT tried to access what it thought was an appropriate up-to-date decoder, it couldn't process the video with it and gave me a blank screen. Something similar could be happening to you as well.
    Try deleting all of the QuickTime components and folders in your system. Because you're using Leopard, I'm not sure all the files will be where they are for me. Do a thorough search of your system and clean out any QuickTime files you find, they'll be in HDD/Library, HDD/System/Library, and HDD/Users/"yourusername"/Library. Then reinstall QuickTime using the installer from Apple's downloads page(or Software update will probably work as well). You'll have to restart afterwards and make sure to repair permissions after you've rebooted(use Disk Utility). Then test out the trailers again and see if that solves it.

  • Playing .mov video with flvPlayback

    I have some .mov files I need to play with the flvPlayback component. When I had them in my actionscript it does not work. I've read allot and it says that the component will play mov video but it does not for me.
    I am running CS4 with FlashPlayer 10 and AS3.
    Any suggestions?

    There are many different types of .mov files. I think that flvPlayback can only play .mov files that have been encoded with the H.264 codec. So if you have Quicktime open the mov file with that and check the information for what codec was used on the video stream.

  • 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.

  • Latest version of itunes does not support Quicktime can not play movie from library

    Latest version of Itunes does not support Quicktime.  I can not play movies out of my itunes.  Please fix

    I don't usually download video from the iTunes store. I had a couple of long plane rides coming up and thought I might have time to watch the Stanford IOS7 programming class. On the plane I discovered this issue which has gone unaddressed since 2011 and has been worsened in Mavericks. in 2011 the advice was to open iTunes' get info pane and click run in 32 bit. That worked at least for some people. In Mavericks, iTunes will not launch in 32 bit.
    For the files you can locate in the finder ( mine are at
    /Users/raine001/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/iTunes\ U/Developing\ iOS\ 7\ Apps\ for\ iPhone\ and\ iPad/1.\ Class\ Logistics\,\ Overview\ of\ iOS\,\ MVC\,\ Objective-C.mp4
    ) you can click on the file in the finder and it will launch in QuickTime. For some reason on the plane I could see the first lecture in the iTunes view but, although I could see all the other lectures in the finder, I could not see the first one.
    Ah well, maybe some other year I'll think about getting up to speed on ios7. Heck, maybe by then they will design a decent user experience.

    Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.

  • After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. Iran

    After recent QuickTime updates fcp and QuickTime will not open .mov files captured on my FS-H200. I put this onthe quick time thread and they sent me here.

    and NEVER do a software update unless you've got a clone of your startup drive so you can restore your system to it's working state if something goes wrong.

  • 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.
