Quicktime Player controls -- able to move outside of window?

Hi, when playing quicktime movies in the regular sized window in which they pop up (not full screen, etc) is it possible to move the control display (for play, reverse, etc) outside of the window?
thanks

You can move it around but can't move it off the window.

Show quicktime player controls in Keynote for iOS?

I am trying to build an interactive iPad presentation in Keynote, which is essentially a wrapper for hundreds of training videos. On the mac, you can pause and scrub through a video housed within a Keynote presentation but I do not see that option on iOS. Can anybody confirm this, or does somebody know a way to enable quicktime player controls on a video playing in Keynote?
Thanks!
Brian

FOUND THE SOLUTION:
I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

If the videos are .wmv files, VLC from VideoLAN will play them and pretty much any other media format.
BTW, we are not Apple; we're just users like yourself.

No Quicktime player controls in web browser plugins

When using the Quicktime plugin under Firefox or Internet Explorer I do not get any player controls (play/pause, progress, volume etc). All that displays is a black bar where the control bar should be.
I am running the latest version of Quicktime player (downloaded it yesterday). I am using Firefox 3 RC2 and Internet Explorer 7.
Please advise how I can get the player controls to work, because as you can imagine, its pretty hard to play videos/sounds without them.

I have seen similar problems on latest QuickTime v7.5.5 on Vista SP1 64bit platform... when viewing Lynda.com training videos under IE v7 and Firefox v3.02/v3.03. Specifically, the controls are not visible and/or do not work properly (eg reset to start when click on mid-point of timeline) and other times the video blanks out in windowed of full-screen mode with no suspend or power issues... and I am forced to restart QuickTime for video to re-display. The video controls in windowed mode also sometimes do not work.
I found the solution was to change the ADVANCED settings of the QUICKTIME player...
Open Quicktime 7 player... but do not open any content.
Click on Edit tab and go to Preferences, then click on Quicktime Preference.
On window that opens, click on the Advanced tab
You will see a selection under VIDEO heading for Safe Mode (GDI only) or Direct X.... click on Safe mode (GDI only)
Then click on Apply, then OK.
Restart Quicktime and play a movie to test it.
For me, this resolved all my problems... even though had latest DirectX installed. I hope this helps in your case!

QuickTime Player won't play movie bought from iTunes Store.

Finder's Quick Look says that QT Player can play it. QT Player says to first authorize through iTunes. iTunes says that it's already authorized.
I've seen the same problem in various places all over the net but it just started happening to me with 10.8.3. Never had a problem in 10.8.2 or earlier. Any ideas on how to fix?

Some information on Quicktime player. The last two links are you other applications you can download to see if they can play the movie:

Video Player - VLC

Quicktime Player - won't play movie

I have a movie file which works on my old 10.6 Snow Leopard machine (it's a m4v file), but Quicktime player under 10.8 refuses to play it. Whenever I try to open it, it complains of a missing codec (but doesn't state what). However I can watch the preview in Quicklook. If I try to watch it in VLC, the sound comes out all distorted and sounds like something from the 80s, while the 10.6 machine plays it nicely.
I've tried to copy it via various methods incase it's getting corrupted in transit, but I get the same result.
Any tips or recomendations for a movie player that might play this file?

Hi Sam,
.m4v is the format and codec is the component / resource used build the movie i.e m4v is a box that is carrying the movie and the movie was created using codec like MPEG or MPEG2 or H264 and so on...
http://perian.org try to get this App or http://mplayerx.org/download.html, try to update your VLC player....
Good luck...

to see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie

Generally, this requires installing Perian, or the free version of Flip4Mac if the movie is an unprotected WMV file, or using VLC. Some formats, such as protected WMV files, can't be played in Mac OS X.

Quicktime player won't play movies from old camera

about a year ago I put some video clips into iphoto taken on my camera.
the info on them says
title P(some numers).MOV
format QuickTime Movie
it used to play when I clicked on them. Now nothing happens, quicktime starts but the player doesn't play it.
I get no error.
thanks

Thanks. Apple certainly does not make that fact clear when they try to sell you Quicktime Pro. I'm having a real problem with their corporate ethics; I'm a very sorry owner of a Generation 5 iPod so I'm batting 1000!

IPhoto (7.1.5) doesn't start automatically Quicktime player 10.0 with .mov

Hi
I'm running iPhoto 7.1.5, I'm using OS 10.6.2 and Quicktime 10.0
I don't know why all .mov sequences under my iPhoto library don't start automatically anymore.
I have to locate the original file into finder and double click the .mov file into its folder.
Does someone can help me
Thanks.

I'm running iPhoto 7.1.5, I'm using OS 10.6.2
It's possible Snow Leopard is not compatible with all the settings in the older versions of iPhoto.
I don't know why all .mov sequences under my iPhoto library don't start automatically anymore.
Did it work prior to updating to Snow Leopard?

Quicktime Player - how to hide the transport mini window ?

some of my animations are titles- when I double click them the FF/Play/RW controls mini window obscures a large amount of the window
I dont wish to have to maximize the playing animation
Is there now way to simply hide the the controls ?
I know it will disappear after a few seconds but I dont want it to show at the start of play....
I can simply use the spacebar on my keyboard to stop and start ....

this is not currently possible. the best you can do is reduce the time delay before the controls fade out. to do that quit QT player and run the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGUIVisibilityTimeout 1
this will shorten the fade out delay to 1 second. also, the following command will make them never appear after you start playing the movie and they disappear the first time.
defaults write com.apple.QuickTimePlayerX MGUIVisibilityNeverAutoshow 1

Quicktime frame controls do not function in Lion, window unresponsive

This appears to be a trending topic on the support fora, but the solutions I've seen offered don't help.
In brief: QuickTime on Lion loads and appears to play videos for me, but I can't access any of its frame controls. I can't resize the window, I can't minimize or maximize it, I can't close it, and I can't drag it. Attempting to click any of the associated controls simply brings the Finder to the foreground. Quicktime will then not respond to any further mouse clicks untill I click its icon in the Dock and force it into the foregroud.
It's as though the QuickTime window is invisible to mouse clicks - with the exception of the play, pause, ff/rew control bar.
Looking over other discussions, I uninstalled both Perian and Flip4Mac. I don't have the BetterTouch program. This did not change the behavior.
I am disintersted in booting to safe mode or under a new user account every time I want to play a video, so do not suggest that, please and thank you. I'd prefer other than canned, page-1-of-the-script style replies. I realize that sounds abrupt, but such entry-level suggestions do not constitute useful or meaningful solutions, and those who offer them should be made aware of that.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Solved the problem.
What I did, actually, was download the Lion beta version of OnyX from http://www.titanium.free.fr - under 'Parameters', in the 'QuickTime' section, there's a button you can click to restore defaults. Did that, and sure enough the window corners went wounded again - and I could grab all my frames as before.
Thanks for the pointer. Very nicely done.

I've having a problem with not being able to move the browser window around on my desktop. My last alternative is to uninstall Firefox and try a reinstall, but I'm afraid I'll loose all of my bookmarks. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks--

QuickTime movie not opening in QuickTime Player?

I recorded a video using PhotoBooth which now will not open in any of my players, QuickTime, VLC, HandBrake.
Finder tells me that it's a QuickTime Movie file, but QuickTime Player says "QuickTime Player can't open "Movie on 4-12-12 at 8.20 PM" because the movie's file format isn't recognized."
Why won't it open, and how can I get it to open?
Additionally, I recorded a different video this morning and it plays just fine.

If a Photo Booth movie is interrupted--by clicking the red "traffic light" button in the upper left corner of the PB window, by putting the Mac to sleep, by a sudden power disruption, etc.--the recording will usually be left in an unfinished, unplayable state. There is no simple, free fix to create a playable movie from the unrecognized file. At least two companies offer repair services/software--at a price. Both offer free diagnostics to learn whether the interrupted movie might be recovered before you think about plunking down your cash.

No Quicktime (and other player) audio in AVI movies and no Quicktime on web

Audio and video playback works fine with CDs, DVDs, etc.
AVI movies downloaded with Torrent play excellent video but no audio. When the movie starts I am informed that a Quicktime component is missing and I am directed to a website that offers many 3rd quicktime components. I have installed all of the free plugins. No go.
Websites show the quicktime logo dimmed with a "?" mark in the center. I have downloaded and installed all of the 3rd party Quicktime plugins that I can find.
I have also changed Safari and Quicktime player to open with Rosetta (as suggested by Shockwave). No joy.
HELP!
20" Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) 1.5 gig of RAM

Open one of the "no sound" files in QuickTime Player.
Open the Movie Info (Window menu) and note the audio codec used in the file.
Do a Google search for "codec name" +Mac and find a version compatible with your OS and computer model.

Quicktime does not convert my .MOV file into a watchable format on Quicktime

Hi guys!
I won't give you all a long sob story but basically, I went to my first music festival over the weekend and uploaded my videos onto my friends computer, I then uploaded these videos (i took with my iPhone) to Google Drive. When i got back onto my own computer, I download the .MOV files from Google Drive, these videos would not convert into a watchable format. It gives me the message -
"QuickTime Player can't open "IMG_8788.MOV". To see if additional software is available that will enable QuickTime Player to open the movie, click Tell Me More."
It says that Quicktime should support MOV files. I am using version 10.3 Quicktime player with iOS Mavericks. I really want help with this issue as I will be devastated if these videos are lost. My friend obviously deleted them off his computer because they did take up alot of space!

iPhone recorded files should already be compatible QT X v10.3 (and QL) as is in the MOV file container. However, the process of downloading, uploading, and again downloading the files may have created some sort of issue causing QT X to not properly "recognize" the content and thus, wants you to check for additional support.
In any case, will the files open in any other media players? (E.g., VLC, MPlayerX, NicePlayer, QT 7, MPEG Streamclip, etc.) For instance, if the files open in QT 7 Pro, MPEG Streamclip, or VLC, you may be able to copy the data to a new MOV file container which QT X will open and play. (I.e., this procedure does not recompress the data and is reasonable quick. Also not sure if using the "Command-D" Finder option to "duplicate" the file will create a "readable" file or not but you might try it.)
