QuickTime only plays videos when the program itself is started

Hi there.
When I open a file in QuickTime and the program hasn't been started before, everything works like a charm. Do I close the video then, though, and try to open another one while the program itself is still running in the background, then it won't do anything. Only if I close QuickTime once again, I can open a new file with it.
The problem exists as of recently foremost and is getting quite annoying. I hope someone else got the same problem or at least an idea how to solve it.
Greetings,
Daniel

The problem exists as of recently foremost and is getting quite annoying. I hope someone else got the same problem or at least an idea how to solve it.
If using QT X, have you tried deleting any/all of the erroneously created individual QT X Player PLIST files or tried using the QT 7.6.3 Player to see if it has the same problem?

  • N96 only plays videos from the start

    My N96 only plays videos from the start. Whenever I press the 'play from where it stopped' function the sound works okay but the picture isn't there. Also the same problem occurs when I try to fastforward or rewind videos. As you can imagine this is not much use when I'm trying to watch a film in stages.

  • There are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline and wont play video in the program monitor.

    After reconnecting some origianl files after a hard drive crashed, there are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline that wont play video in the program monitor. They do however play in the source monitor.

    Those stripes are most likely the missing media indicators, which means you've relinked to the wrong clips.

  • How do I prevent snags when buring my DVD with a soundtrack for playback on a DVD player?  It only plays clearly on the computer itself.

    I totally get how to create a DVD with a great soundtrack on my computer.  I put the whole thing together and when I play it back in preview, it plays beautifully.  However, when I select "burn" and burn it do a disk and then go to play it on my DVD player hooked up to my TV, there are rough spots---times when the sound goes out and then comes back on, etc.  
    Someone wrote me and said to choose "save to disk" first and then use disk utility or Toast to burn it at a slow speed.  I tried doing this and when I selected "burn to disk" it only came up as an audio file and a separate video file, so I was lost at that point. 
    Any ideas of why this discrepancy might be happening?  I'd appreciate any of your thoughts!
    Thanks!
    Rick

    okay, I can help you a little bit. your dvd player (standalone) plays mpeg-2, I think, so
    in order for a disk to work in it, both the audio and video have to be combined into a whole package, which i think is video_ts.Using Toast, choose video, then dvd-video then drag n' drop, and it may work. As far as  i know, disk utility cannot make video dvd's, but  I may be wrong, and you may be right. I used iDVD, but there are probably other programs that may do as good a job of burning. Oh, and this is most important: Some blanks will work ok, and others won't. Verbatim, maxell ( I think) and Taiyo Yuden will work fine. the other ones are a gamble. I think what it's supposed to do is called muxing. I'm sure someone will correct me on this. You could try using "Burn" which is relatively cheap or Handbrake and see if that will do what you want to do. not that it's super important, but the amount of Ram in your machine is helpful too
    anyways, good luck

  • Quicktime not playing videos on the internet

    I recently got the Quicktime update and its messed everything up. First I got an error about the QTCF.dll file. I googled it and found that if I take the QTCF file and move it to windows/system32. It will work. So I did that and it worked, quicktime would open and it can play videos. However, when I go to a site and try to play a video that used to work, it just opens a blank screen. Any fixes?

    It was fixed after a restart.

  • QuickTime only plays half of the video, imports the same way into Premiere

    It's updated to 7.7.5 - I don't know what to do to get it top see the full image...?

    Thanks for the screenshot.
    Hmm. I don't recall any other reports of a problem like this with MTS files. [Just today I was working on a similar issue with P2 content, but it was limited to spanned clips. Hence that question...]
    First thing I'd try is to clear the media cache files, at least for the affected clips. You should find those files here: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Common\. If not there, then check Preferences>Media.

  • How do you play videos from the "Videos" app in the background IPod 4G

    Hey
    I used to have an app which allowed me to play videos from the "Videos" app on my ipod touch 4th gen. But the other day I had to wipe my ipod and can no longer get this app. Is there any other app which imports your videos from the "videos" app or is there a way to play videos in the background using the "videos" app.
    Anny help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Karl

    You can only play videos in the Videos app when the Video app is on the screen. Video, and any audio with it, do not play when using another app.
    You can try changing the Media Kind in Get Info>Option in iTunes on the computer to Music Video and see if that works

  • TS5148 When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".

    When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".  I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
    Any ideas out there?

    I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work.  It says "the connected display is not supported"  What's up?
    Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.  But trying again later doesn't work any better.
    Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen.  It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

  • Why does a standalone program created in Labview 8.5 try connecting to the internet when the program only reads data through the serial port? Firewalls object to progams that contact the internet without permission.

    why does a standalone program created in Labview 8.5 try connecting to the internet when the program only reads data through the serial port? Firewalls object to progams that contact the internet without permission.
    The created program is not performing a command I have written when it tries to connect to the internet, it must be Labview that is doing it. How do I stop this from happening? 
    Any help would be very appreciated.

    It looks that way..
    "When LabVIEW starts it contacts the service
    locator to removes all services for itself. This request is triggering
    the firewall.This is done in case there were services that were not
    unregistered the last time LabVIEW executed- for example from VIs that
    didn't clean up after themselves"
    This is not yet fixed in LV2009.

    How are you trying to play them, in the iTunes store or the Music and Videos apps ? Downloaded and synced music and videos should be in the Music and Videos apps, and you can stop content that is only in the cloud from showing in them via Settings > iTunes & App Store > Music and Videos 'off' (under the 'show all' heading).
    If you don't have your music and films/TV shows in those two apps then you should be able to download them into those apps via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.

    - A while back, i did something to where when i open a file in photoshop, it no longer is one window, now it's two separete ones. one for the program itself, and another for the actual file how do it get it back to where it's all one window without having to be in full screen mode? I've managed to go some time like this, but right now it's just really annoying me. HELP!!!

    Just drag the small window to the top right below the toolbar, you'll see the area highlighted and when you drop it the file should dock.
