Quicktime playback not in browswer window.

Help. When I click a link on a site that points to an .mov the file is played back inside the safari window. Is it possible to have safari launch the file in quicktime player instead of playing inside a window? I find this annoyning because I want to enlarge the size the video. I realize I can always save the file then play it through quicktime, but this is a hassle.

I am having the same problem. I haven't changed any settings, but when I export my movie my voice becomes a chipmunk. How do I fix it?

Quicktime Will Not Close Open Windows

After I record a video Quicktime refuses to close any windows from those recordings. When the red X is clicked quicktime will lag out for a few seconds at the end of which the window has not been closed. The only way to get the window to close is to quit Quicktime with the "Close windows when quitting an application" preference enabled in the System Preferences > General. If this preference is not enabled, Quicktime will refuse to quit and the program must be Force Quit.
I've gone and done the usual troubleshooting steps like rebooting, deleting preferences, etc... This does not solve this issue leading me to believe it's either a poorly thought out "feature" or a bug. Unless there is some new paradigm of closing windows that I am not familiar with of closing window, thanks to Apple;s new paradigm of changing tried and true methodologies for new "simpler", "let us do that for you" ones, this is extremely annoying for someone who want to itterate through multiple video takes quickly without unnecessarily tieing up system resources. If I make a video that I don't want I want to just trash it and be done with it.
Anyway, does anyone know if there is any way to fix this so that I don't have dozens of videos active?

Lets do a few things.
1. Update QuickTime. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
2. Open up QuickTime player.
3. Click on Edit> QuickTime Preferences>Advanced.
4. In the center of this section there is a "Video" section select Safe Mode.
5. Click on Ok and go ahead and close out of QuickTime.
I have also noted that there are SEVERAL bugs with QuickTime and Nvidia Chips.
A few things I suggest you do is to update all of your drivers, and install any pending Windows Updates.

Quicktime will not install to Windows Vista "could not open key..."

I have been trying to install Quicktime for some time.
Get error message: "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\9c430...... Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your local support personnel." The installer then rolls back.
I kept trying and was able to install QT, but it would not open. Error messagesaid something about a "side-by-side" configuration.
I am the only user/administrator of this pc. I have tried all troubleshooting steps on this website, including uninstalling all Apple software and all remnants.
I tried all troubleshooting steps. My next step is to re-install Windows.
HP d5000t Windows Vista Vista Ultimate 64-bit, Intel core2 quad Q9450 @ 2.66GHz 8GB RAM

Get error message: "Could not open key: UNKNOWN\Components\9c430...... Verify that you have sufficient access to that key, or contact your local support personnel." The installer then rolls back.
Doublechecking, Alex. Have you tried the procedures from the following post?
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2475687&tstart=30
(Although that's about an iTunes install problem on 7 rather than QuickTime install problem on Vista, similar sorts of troubleshooting proicedures can apply in your circumstances too.)

QuickTime does not start on Windows 7. Error 2093.

I am unable to launch QuickTime on Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit, I get a "QuickTime failed to initialize. Error # -2093" error message. This is particularly disturbing since for some odd reason iTunes seems to require QuickTime and I need iTunes to sync my iPod (nice set of dependencies).
Anyhow, I've been getting this error since upgrading from Vista to 7; I've uninstalled both apps completely (though the problem seems to be exclusive to QuickTime) and reinstalled a lot of times. Oddly enough, from time to time a reinstall works, iTunes launches and I get to change my music, but that lasts until a reboot where it stops working again, and now I'm there; further reinstalls haven't been able to make it work again and I'm growing more and more frustrated.
I've read that the problem could be a missing quicktime.qts (or something like that) in the system32 folder of Windows, but I checked and it's there.
Between reinstalls I've also cleaned my registry for stray QuickTime info on it, but to no effect.
I am desperately in need of help; my iPod is pretty useless without iTunes.
Thanks in advance.

*Replying to astrodyn*
I am getting the error message you show. Ie. Entry point etc. in Windows Vista.
Okay. Go "Start > Computer". In Computer, go "Tools > Folder Options". Click the "View tab". Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected and that "Hide extensions for known filetypes" is unchecked. Okay out of the tab.
You next step depends on whether or not you've got a 32-bit or a 64-bit Vista.
*If you're 32-bit:* Open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. When you find the QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop. Does QuickTime launch properly now?
*If you're 64-bit:*
First, open the C:\Windows\system32\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Second, open the C:\Windows\sysWOW64\ folder. Look for a QTCF.dll file. If you find a QTCF.dll, drag it out onto the desktop.
Once you've cleared System32 and SysWOW84 of any copies of QTCF.dll, does QuickTime launch properly now?

Quicktime will not work in Windows

For the past few months, I've experienced trouble with Quicktime. I would try to view a video on Apples website, and it would fizz out like a bad tv broadcast, then lockup saying there was an error, report, blah blah. I figured it was Apples website. Well today I tried to install a Total Training video, and when it searched for Quicktime, I got the same error, the program install locked up, and asked me to report the error, etc. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no luck. Please help!

Quicktime error: not a valid windows 32 programme!!!

i have been trying to download quicktime wit futile efforts..
it's apparantly not a windows.exe programme!
witout this the iTunes is not installing as well..

If this occurs for a certain executable, this indicates a corruption of the file, redownload or reinstall it. Perform a chkdsk.
If this occurs on multiple executables,causes might include disk corruption/failure, memory corruption, malware infection,...
Check if the issue also occurs in safe mode. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=windows-7
Run chkdks on the affected drive(s) ,run antivirus/antimalware and do (from an elevated prompt) sfc /scannow to scan for and repair system files.

Quicktime export not available for Windows 8?

Hello,
I have imported .mov footage from my Canon 60D into a Premiere project and edited it on the timeline. It plays fine in Premiere. I would like to export it in the same format. I go File -> Export -> Media and in the format dropdown "Quicktime" or "MOV" are not available.
I tried installing Quicktime from the Apple site, it didn't affect the export setting in Premiere. The version of Quicktime I installed was an x86 for Windows 7 version, I could not find a 64bit or Windows 8 version.
I am on Windows 8 64 bit with CS6 Master Collection.
Does anyone know how I get Quicktime into my export format options?

You're honestly better off not using QT.
What is the basis and foundation of this comment ?
(apart from personal bias of course)
We have never had any issues in using QT in a cross platform, cross facilty workflow.
My peers and colleagues agree.
Thing is Jim..if one works within a cross platform, cross facilty workflow...one often runs into QT. eg Uncompressed .mov (8, 10, 16 bit) required. Not AVI or H264!.
They wont change setups based on Jim Simons humble opinion on all things Apple.

Why does Quicktime 7 not open in Windows 7?

When I try to open the Quicktime 7 player an icon appears in the tray, and when I click on it nothing happens. I am using Windows 7 Professional 64 bit- service pack 1. QT7 worked before. It simply stopped opening. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. If someone has an answer for this problem I would appreciate knowing how I could fix it. Thanks.

Hold "Shift" key down and launch Safari.

Itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..

Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again.

I can not upgrade to quicktime 7.7.3 for windows vista. Error message says there is a problem with the program installer. Any clue as to how to get around this.

QuickTime will not open (Windows 7 64-bit OS)

I have the latest version of iTunes with QuickTime installed. I have completely uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with QuickTime several times. iTunes opens fine, but QuickTime will not open. It used to open fine about a month ago, but will not now, I have no idea what changed on my computer to cause this problem. When I try to open it, the Quicktime icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no window opens on the screen. I have a Windows 7 64-bit operating system. Has anyone seen this before or had any success correcting this problem? Thank you, Josh

When I try to open it, the Quicktime icon appears at the bottom of the screen in the Windows 7 taskbar, but no window opens on the screen
That's consistent with a QuickTime display preference gone bad, josh.
If that's what is afoot, rebuilding the QuickTime preferences can help, although it can be a bit of a trial to track them down on the 64-bit systems.
Close any of the QuickTime Player buttons that are currently in your taskbar.
Now we need to change some view settings on the PC. (The preferences are kept in hidden folders.)
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected.
Click OK.
Next we'll navigate to your AppData folder.
In Computer, open Local Disk C:\ or whichever drive your user documents are stored on.
Open the "Users" folder.
Open the folder with the name of the Windows User account in which the QuickTime Player isn't displaying properly.
Open the "AppData" folder.
Now the hunt for the QuickTime preferences begins.
Open the "Roaming" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
*If there was no QuickTime folder in \Roaming\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly*
Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "Local" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
*If there was no QuickTime folder in \Local\Apple Computer\, or if the QuickTime Player still isn't displaying properly*
Quit any QuickTime player buttons in the Taskbar.
Go back into the "AppData" folder.
Open the "LocalLow" folder.
Open the "Apple Computer" folder.
Do you see a "QuickTime" folder in there? If so, drag that out onto the Desktop. Now try launching the QuickTime Player.
Any of those measures help with the display problem?

Quicktime playback error and Final Cut Pro

Hi,
I'm having a problem watching a quicktime movie that I made in Final Cut Pro. I'm working on a project at school and the computers there are all G5's. I put the film together at school and I exported the movie using the default settings in Final Cut for quicktime for the web at the medium bandwidth level. Part of the assignment is to post a clip from the film on for playback on the net. The film is playable on computers with quicktime 7 installed, like the ones at school or my PC which has the latest version of quicktime on it. But on my Ibook I only have quicktime 6.5.3. I have an older Ibook, it's a G3 700Mhz running OSX version 10.2.8. The latest version of quicktime requires 10.3.9+. When I click the link for the clip it loads on a new page and then gives me an error message saying quicktime is missing a component and it's not available to download, I click ok and the video appears as a white box with the playback controls at the bottom. The audio works fine but there's no picture.
Is there an update somwhere for quicktime 6 that will fix the problem?

How to Identify the file*, video and audio** format of a movie or sound file
In QuickTime Player
Open the file
Window menu > Show movie info
Look in the Format: field
Note that QuickTime Player may fail to display any audio information for some files.
In MPlayer OSX:
Show the playlist window if it isn't already visible.
Drag the movie file into the playlist window.
Select the movie in the list
Click the "i" button for info
In VLC
Open the movie in VLC
Window menu > Info
Click the black triangles so that they point down
Note that VLC does not display the file format, only the format of the content (audio and video) within the file. A file ending in .divx for instance, is probably in actuality an avi file but VLC doesn't show that information - MPlayer will and QuickTime Player will - if - QuickTime Player will open the file to begin with.

Hi whatisitagain,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If the movie you downloaded from the iTunes Store is not playing in iTunes for Windows, start with the troubleshooting tips in this article:

All the best,

Video Playback not working in Version 12

The new version of Itunes was automatically downloaded to my machine. After the download, my videos will not play. Video playback is grayed out. An error message appears stating that "Quicktime" is not supported by this version of the software. Anyone else having the same problem. I am running Windows Vista. None of my movies will play, even the older ones. I tried to re-download the software and it didn't work. THANKS

Hi there,
I got a solution from the Adobe Captivate technical team.
As an attempt to resolve your issue
Uncheck the option “Accelerate 3D graphics” under VM Settings by going to VM >> Settings >> Display>> 3D graphics
Once done please try capturing and hopefully this must resolve your issue
I did this and it worked, yeah. However, it is still incredibly frustrating using VMWare, when I am recording using Presenter it keeps freezing and I have to shut the entire system down. Guess I'll try the Partition!!!
Thanks again
