Quicktime - "play on startup" setting ???

Quicktime, how to set "play on startup" option?
Can't find settings for this option on my iMac quicktime.
In ms windows, there was a setting for this, but on quicktime X ???

Glad you found something that works - not sure I deserved a star, but thanks anyway!

HDV - FCE - Quicktime plays right - squished video on burned DVD

i looked thru the forum a bit and didn't quite find what i was looking for, though it seems there are a number of similar problems.
i've imported HDV video from a canon hv30 into final cut express. no problem. edited the video. no problem. export as quicktime movie. no problem. quicktime plays movie. no problem. create idvd project. no problem. preview dvd in idvd (set idvd to 4:3 because i want it to play on normal tv's). no problem. burn the dvd. PROBLEM.
the theme screen is fine, but the video is squished. no letterbox. i've tried doing this a few times, and the results are the same each time.
i certainly don't know all the crazy quirks of video, but this certainly seems buggy in light of all the similar posts.
any work arounds with HDV and FCE?
thanks!

hey there josdaviar,
afaik, there is no way to do this except to create a new sequence that's anamorphic, then place your existing sequence in it, but as i explained a 16:9 video onto a 16:9 DVD will display as letterbox on a 4:3 TV & as 16:9 on a widescreen TV. so i'm not understanding your issue, if making the video(16:9) & DVD(16:9) match & the DVD will play on both types of TVs--as fullscreen 16:9 on a widescreen TV & as letterbox on a 4:3 TV? are you exporting @ "current settings" to maintain the 16:9 aspect ratio? if so, make a 16:9 DVD & check it yourself on both types of TVs. i have a 4:3 TV +DVD player & check all my 16:9 DVDs on it(i have clients who pay me), so far every one has played as letterbox on the 4:3 TV + DVD player rig & as fullscreen 16:9 on my widescreen HDTV + DVD player rig.
the "flag" for playback of the DVD(as fullscreen or letterbox) is in the DVD player's initial set-up/top menu--it may need to be set(depending on the age of the DVD player).
good luck.

HT3775 why won't quicktime play .mp4?

why won't quicktime play .mp4? I just downloaded a 1.2 gig mp4 video that won't play.

Thanks. I just found it strange that it was one of many files that I ripped from a DVD ( part of a box set of a TV series, and all the others were fine so far. Funny that this one in particular was causing a problem.

Quicktime plays video in slow motion

Quicktime plays my video from a Sony NEX-3 camera [H.264 MP4 files] in slow motion. The images plays at a reduced speed, while the sound plays at full speed. One consequence is that image and sound is completely out of sync. The video plays fine in iMovie and MPEG stream clip.
I tried in two Macs: a Macbook Air (10.6.6) and a Macbook (10.6.5) and on both the video is slow motion, but on the Macbook it is extreme slow motion, while on the Macbook Air it is slight slow motion [mainly noticeable through lack of sync between image and sound].
Video from iPhone 4 plays without problems in Quicktime.
Since iMovie plays the Sony video fine, I would assume it is not a Sony video problem, but a bug in Quicktime. How do I get Apple to fix that bug?

Data Execution Prevention stops quicktime playing.

I can't get quicktime to play at all, every time I try Data Execution Prevention stops it.
I have tried to turn off DEP for quicktime but it won't let me.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled both quicktime and i tunes, also removed any Codec Packs I had installed,( I read to do this on another forum).
Still windows won't let quicktime play, either stand alone or on the net.
I am running Windows Vista.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Just to say "me too".
Fresh copy of Vista, fresh download of itunes & quicktime, installed - quicktime won't start because of a DEP, uninstalled & reinstalled - the same, cannot turn off DEP for Quicktime.

Startup Setting of sql 2014 Clustered "SQL Server" Service

New cluster in testlab:
          Windows Server 2012 R2: N1, N2 (node 1, node 2)
          Sql Server 2014 installed on N1, N2
          Storage server (uses SMB share for Sql Data and Quorum).
N1 is active; N2 is passive. What is the proper setup for the SqlServer and SqlServerAgent
services on both boxes? (Should they be "manual" for both?)
TIA,
edm2
PS. I wonder if the startup setting option is used to implement the Active\passive state.

N1 is active; N2 is passive. What is the proper setup for the SqlServer and SqlServerAgent
services on both boxes? (Should they be "manual" for both?)
Hi edm,
In a two-node Windows Failover Cluster with SQL Server, one of the physical nodes is considered the active node, and the second one is the passive node for that single SQL Server instance. A single SQL Server instance can run on only a single node at a time;
and should a failover occur, the failed instance can failover to another node.
When we create a SQL Server Failover cluster, The startup type is set to manual for all cluster-aware services, including full-text search and SQL Server Agent, and cannot be changed during installation. Microsoft recommends that you configure service accounts
individually to provide least privileges for each service, where SQL Server services are granted the minimum permissions.
For more information, you can review the following article.

HT3775 Why won't Quicktime play a .mpeg file?

I have a .mpeg file and can not get it to play. I am so frusterated!

Try installing Perian. It helps quicktime play lots of different formats.
Or, try VLC. It plays lots of video formats.
mpeg isn't one specific format. The video can be encoded in lots of different formats and still be called an mpeg. You have to find something that can play the particular codec that was used to encode the video.

Quicktime booting on startup

how do i stop quicktime booting on startup?

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1727694&tstart=45
You can also try starting ins Safe Mode to isolate issue of third party drivers.
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
[What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392]
[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
Safe boot mode runs a directory check command similar to that used by Disk Utility's repair. In Tiger it ignores some stored information (cache) that is normally read that speeds up the boot process, and it moves some other caches to the trash. It also uses only System fonts and disables all Startup Items, third party items, and any Login Items.

How can i make quicktime play avi. files?

pls..how can i make quicktime play avi. files? because i have some avi files on my ipod or data cd but i can't play them on my laptop. pls help me..
and also, im trying to make a music video but i dont how to select different clips from a movie.

Hello,
You can get from Microsoft, the flip4mac free player. Since Windows Media Player for Mac is no longer supported, this is the way to go.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
In my opinion, it is by far the best solution for playing .avi or .wmv files, because you get all the advantages of Quicktime.

Cannot play DVD on Set-Top Players

First project with DVDSP. Created the DVD and it plays fine on my MAC using Apple DVD player. Won't play on any set-top player, and I've tried 3. Please help.

Bitrate is probably the key factor in authoring DVDs for compatibility with recordable discs on set tops.
For example, if you encode an hour long video at 8 .5 megabits per second, then it is likely that no set top can sustain that throughput.
Bit rate is done in one of two places.
In the preferences section of DVD SP, or using a preset in Compressor.
Without knowing more about your workflow, or whether you have authored previously with success in DVD SP, nor your experience, or how much of the manual and tutorial you have gone through, it's hard to assist.

HT3775 Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos?

Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos? Is there a download to help resovle this.
I am running Mountain Lion, I have also installed flipformac, divx, and vlc. They are working fine.
Appreciate your answers.

You can only use QuickTime Player 7 to play that 12 year old format.

How to may a 16 x 9 quicktime play in that aspect ratio

I've got a problem whereby quicktimes that are corrected created at 16 x 9, play in a 4 x 3 aspect
ration screen when you open them in quicktime player.
If there some setting I'm supposed to be changing so that the movie plays in the correct aspect ratio?
Thanks.

Thanks. It works! Prima!

After installing Windows XP SP3, iTunes and Quicktime crash at startup

I use iTunes almost every day, and until now have had almost no problems. But as of Sunday afternoon 5/11/2008, I found iTunes crashed on startup. Soyon after, I discovered Quicktime had the same problem. For both apps, I tried rebooting, upgrading, uninstalling/reinstalling, running Norton 2008 virus scan and registry cleaner. Same problem no matter what I did.
I just noticed, though, that my Windows Update (which I have naively set to automatic) history shows that, on that same day, it automatically installed Windows XP SP3. Coincidence... hmm.
So while I patiently wait for the uninstaller to complete the removal of SP3, I'm wondering if anyone else has had similar problems.

Great link, thanks for posting it. I followed the advice therein, but unfortunately it didn't help. For the record, here's what I've done recently:
0) Removed SP3.
1) Removed all of the following:
Apple Mobile Device Support
Apple Airport Express
Apple Software Update
Bonjour
Quicktime
iTunes
2) Deleted all remaining folders related to the above apps from c:\Program Files.
3) Ran Norton 360 (2008) registry cleanup.
4) Ran Norton 360 (2008) virus scan (nothing found).
5) Deleted the following folders (Angela is the user account):
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer
c:\Documents and Settings\Angela\Application Data\Apple
c:\Documents and Settings\Angela\Application Data\Apple Computer
c:\Documents and Settings\Angela\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple
c:\Documents and Settings\Angela\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer
6) Rebooted.
7) Downloaded and installed iTunes 7.6.2.
8) Rebooted (just coz I love rebooting).
9) Tried to execute iTunes, get error dialog: "QuickTime Player has encoutered a problem and needs to close."
10) Tried to execute QuickTime, get same dialog.
At this point I'm thinking I've got a bad DLL under c:\Windows...

Can quicktime play an video track with multiple alternate audio tracks?

Hi,
If I have a video track with multiple alternate audio tracks (say different languages), can a user select the audio track of his choice and play in Quick time?
Thanks,
Apurva

Does quick time/ safari have this capability?
QT (i.e., the QT structure embeded in current Mac OS/device IOS versions) has the ability to switch between alternative audio tracks assuming the file is properly encoded and the compression format is supported. QT 7, QT X, iTunes, and similar app player GUIs can switch between such tracks during playback but the QT plug-in cannot. In a similar manner, devices like TV can switch between such tracks but an iPhone cannot just as an iPhone can select "Chapters" but the QT browser plug-in cannot but an iPhone file programmed with both chapters and alternate audio tracks can be played back through a TV device and access both chapters and alternative audio tracks.
What I want to use is one video track with alternate audio tracks in a set level manifest and play this using HTTP Live streaming. I'm using the manifest mentioned here :
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-pantos-http-live-streaming-07#section-8.7
Since I do not use playlists, I am not familiar with the approach in your example. If I want alternate audio and/or video tracks, I create standalone video files with these features built in. Nor do I use RTSP if that is what you mean by "live streaming" of content. If I want to "stream" the content, I use "Fast Start" files programmed to open in the QT player app which supports these features or create reference or QT Media Link files that do the same thing.
As you mentioned, Safari on my iPhone is playing the default/first alternate audio track mentioned but not giving an option to switch tracks.
Neither Safari nor the Video app GUIs on your iPhone have a built in switching option. The only way to switch to alternate audio tracks is to do so with QT 7 Pro or possibly iTunes before loading or streaming the video file. (Am still speaking about a standalone file here and not a programmed playlist/RTSP switch.)
However Quick time on my Mac machine only plays the audio with the the video stream and not the alternate audio track.
The QT player app GUI only switches between tracks that are stored as part of the standalone file. Basically, QT files may contain up to 99 individual data tracks. In alternative audio videos, multiple audio tracks are added to the file by an editor like QT 7 Pro but only one track is designated as "active." All other tracks are designated as "inactive." The QT player GUI allows the viewer to select which audio track he or she wants to hear and then turns off the current audio track and turns on the selected audio track. Otherwise all active tracks would play simultaneously.
Is there a way to switch tracks on my iPhone on Safari?
As previously noted, the default track can be manually changed by QT 7 Pro or, I believe, iTunes (used to have this capability) before actually loading or streaming content.
Does quicktime have this capability?
As far as I know, only with regard to stand alone files programmed with multiple alternate tracks. I am not a HTML, HTML5, or Java programmer so I assume there may be web alternatives here but they would be beyond the scope of my expertise.
Do you know any free player that can do this?
Again, I don't use either playlists or RTSP so I've never had a need to look for/use alternative players that might meet your needs. I simply find it easier to build files that work correctly in current player app/device GUIs already having these capabilities.
Or the very last option, can I build a player to do this? If yes can you suggest where/how I start?
Once again, I assume this might be possible but not part of my experience since, for my part, easier work flows are available.

Quicktime playing movies off centre

Quicktime is playing my movies off centre! VERY frustrating! I've tried altering screen size - no luck. I've tried exporting to iTunes - encounters an error. These movies worked fine on PC media player.

I'm using the Quicktime app and my movies are being played (and opened in Quicktime) off centre - titles and the picture is being cut off on the right.
Still trying to determine if you are referring to the QT 7 or QT X display window or the actual content within the window. Have therefore posted an image below:
Does he QT player window look like this? That is is the player window itself playing beyond the edge of the display screen or is the QT player window located in the center of your monitor screen. In the image above, the QT player window has been moved beyond the display limits of the monitor and merely needs to be dragged back into the monitor display area by clicking on the QT player window and dragging to a more centralized viewing position. This is the simplest problem.
Unfortunately there could be other possibilities here:
QT also allows the embed of display values which allow the content to be offset within a defined QT display window. QT normally prevents a users from manually setting negative value here, but I suppose it might be possible to make changes using special utility apps which may or may not result in a "cutoff" of displayed content with the player window located in the center of a screen.
Another possibility is the application of an embedded mask.
Lastly, there the movie and/or PLIST file for the app could be corrupted.
Example of a masked file played in the VLC player which ignores the mask
Same file as played in the QT 7 player with a mask to "chop off" the top and bottom of the display area during playback
As indicated by the samples above, files can be edited (embedded with settings or masks) that are ignored by third-party players but which can affect how a file plays in QT based apps in terms of the display area or when playback starts and/or stops. While I doubt you would forget performing such edits, I mention then as possible ways in which a file could play one way on a PC and differently in QT or differently in different QT players.
I can't open the movies in iTunes and can't export the files.
This normally implies that the files were not encoded with compression formats compatible with iTunes and/or mobile devices. Unfortunately, this contradicts the ability of you files to open and play (albeit off center) in the QT X player under mavericks unless you failed to mention that the files were being automatically converted by the QT X player and, in which case you should save the converted copy of the file for use in iTunes or with mobile devices.
And I have no idea if the media contains embedded display offsets (I don't even know what that means).
The QT 7 Pro keyed app contains track level property settings that allow a user to move graphic content around to different locations within the QT 7 player window. The is handy when creating a "movie within a movie" or "movie within a still image" graphic effect. QT 7 Pro can also scale the video track content independently as well as move the scaled content around the display area. (E.g., I have created movies that play within the display area of a TV set in a still photo or played on a monitor screen of a second movie playing in the background of my clip.) However, based on your comments, I doubt this is the problem here.
I just had these files on my PC and recently brought a mac. These files were fine on my PC.
It is always helpful to indicate what kind of movies we are talking about here in terms of file container of data compression formats within the file container as the combination of the two may affect how a file plays and/or converts—especially under Mavericks which includes totally new embedded media playback structures within the Mac OS.
Is there another app I should be using?
Since you are dealing with content possibly created on/for PC playback, you may want to try the free VLC player download on you Mac. It employs the FFmpeg codec package which better supports PC media formats.
I've looked through the settings for quicktime and there are no options available for chaining the video dimensions or something like it.
If you are saying the "View" menu playback settings and/or keyboard shortcuts do not work, then either the app or the app's PLIST file is most likely corrupt.
