QuickTime Player displaying chapter names at top of screen
I have QuickTime movies created with Final Cut Express, with chapter markers that I use in iDVD. All that works fine. But now I want to take still screen shots of various points in the video, for use in marketing.
I am trying to use QuickTime Player to export still frames from the video. QuickTime Player displays the name of the current chapter in a white bar across the top of the screen. This is also exported when I export that frame to a still image. (The chapter navigation pop-up menu also appears at the bottom of the Player window, so I don't see why the current chapter name has to appear at the top as well).
Is there any way to turn this off, so that the exported still frame doesn't have the white bar across the top with the chapter name? I want pristine still frames, not those with the white bar. Or if it can't be turned off, is there any similar player that I could use, which can export full-size still frames?
Thank you
Go to the movie properties ...Apple key+J....turn the chapter text track off.

In 1st row i want to display tech.name where as in 2nd row i want to display discription of tech name of the fields.

Is there a way to automatically display the name of clips on screen?
As per the heading, I want to be able to display the name of all clips used on screen so that when it is output to a video file, the viewer can see the name of the clip they are viewing for easy reference. Is there a way to do this, or perhaps a plug in that does it?

Hi all,
Is there some way (or setting) in DSP to make "Named Chapters" display in the thumbnails generated in DVD Player in Full Screen Mode rather than just the names Chapter 1, 2, etc? Or any other Software Based Player for that matter.
This is what I have done:
1 Named each Chapter Marker
2 Named each Track
3 In the track tab of the DSP Prefs I have the "Check for Unique Name" box selected. and tried it unchecked.
In the player each thumbnail shows as just Chapter 1, 2 etc.
Is this something that can be accomplished in a script and if so uh.. how?
ThanksWhen you name tracks and chapter marks, its just a guide to help you during the authoring process. No player will honor the names you've given it from DVDSP?

See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. It may pay to uninstalll all Apple components and delete the folders set out in the second box before reinstalling. In principle you ought not need to reinstall QuickTime.

Project exported with new name opens in QT Player displaying original title?
When I export a movie I frquently put a new name in the "Save as" box.
The video file displays the new name on my desktop but when I open it in QuickTime Player the title at the top of the window has reverted to the original title of the project.
Why does this happen and is there any way of stopping it?Thanks Tom, it does indeed solve my problem.
This has been going on for over 2 years and I never thought that the title in the info window could be changed as it looks extremely "permanent" and I never thought of clicking on it.
I had long accepted that I could do nothing about it but a friend phoned me up with the same problem and as I was unable to give a solution I posted on the forum, not really expecting an answer.
For the information of anyone else viewing this thread, I would point out that the "Description", "Creator" and "Tags" can also be altered should you wish. -
H.264 vs MPEG-4 and Quicktime Plug in vs the Quicktime Player.
I am currently setting up a webpage that will have over 100 videos (30 minute videos)that will be in the quicktime format and ipod format. So I have a few questions about setting up this page and wanted to get someones experienced input on a few things.
I'm setting up the videos with links as there are so many videos. When setting up the page, should I have the entire quicktime player download or just the plug in?
Should I use the H.264 or Mpeg-4 compression setting. I realize that H.264 requires the Quicktime 7 download but I could put a link that sends them to this page, I'm just wondering what the best choice for compression would be.
Do you know of any webpages that have videos that are available for the user to be able to click on the video link and watch the video in quicktime or to choose the ipod
download? I wanted to see how this is set up on one page.100 videos on one page? I hope you have enough bandwidth to serve all of this data.
I would use "poster" movies that target the QuickTime Player (not the plug-in). No data would download until a viewer clicks a "play" button (a simple image file save as a .mov file). An example of one of my files that uses a poster movie and targets the QuickTime Player. The escape key exits full screen mode.
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/03war/
To set up a page that allows a download you could use a text based link to the same file. Just tell the viewers to right-click (Control-click on a Mac) and save the file from the pop-up menu.
This save you bandwidth and makes creating the page fairly simple (even for 100 files).
I would use MPEG-4 using MPEG-4 video codec instead of H.264 (broader base of possible viewers). I would encode the files at 480X360 dimensions and use the QuickTime playback "Presentation" option to play the files. Big "wow" factor as you can see from my example file.
The page would look something like this:
Name and description of the file as text.
Poster movie (simple image that says Play) sized at 25X30.
Text based link to the "download" version.
Instructions right-click to save (text).
You could make the page using a "three across" (like columns) so the viewer doesn't have to scroll down a long list. Even with 100 linked files the html code would be under 30KB's. -
Quicktime player does not play video clip on desktop but plays in iPhoto

QuickTime Player - Partial Screen Recording?
Hello everyone,
My idea was to use AppleScript to:
- Launch Quicktime Player
-- Start Screen Recording
-- Check that 'Show Mouse Click in Recording' is marked
-- Click 'Record' button
--- Let user drag his desired portion of the screen
--- Start record
--- Stop record
-- Save movie
- Close QuickTime Player
So far I only got to the point where the user needs to 'drag his desired portion of the screen'.
But I also have a problem detecting that 'Show Mouse Click in Recording' is checked or not.
I can click it, but if it's already checked - it'll just go off. The problem is that it's not really a checkbox element rather a menu item.
Is there a way around it?
Also, and more important, how can I tell when the user finished his recording I.e. clicks the 'Stop' button so the script
can move on to saving that file.
Here is what I got so far (pretty basic):
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "QuickTime Player"
click menu item "New Screen Recording" of menu "File" of menu bar 1
click menu button of window "Screen Recording"
click menu item "Show Mouse Clicks in Recording" of menu 1 of menu button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
click button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
end tell
end tell
So, am I crazy or is it possible?
I am pretty new to AppleScript, if there is a different, better way to do it, I would love to know.
Thanks!

Can Apple TV display special characters in movie chapter names?
I have an Apple TV 2.0.1. I have encoded my own movies with descriptive chapter names, imported them into iTunes 7.6.2.9, and synced them to my Apple TV. Does the Apple TV have the ability to display special characters (ó, û, etc.) in movie chapter names? The movies play fine and in iTunes the chapter names are all displayed correctly. I also have an iPod Touch 1.1.4 and it can display the chapter names with special characters fine as well. When playing the movies on Apple TV, only the chapters that have special characters in them display nothing at all for the chapter name. All the other chapters display fine.
Welcome to the Discussion Forums.
I can't really confirm your observation one way or the other, I don't use chapter names. I suspect though that your observations are correct. Unusual characters can often cause issues in a variety of ways, illegal characters in your filenames for example can cause the video not to be found at all or in some cases simply not play. If you are using ie instead of safari for example the in my welcome my well not display properly whereas others will clearly see it as an apple symbol. -
How to display the name of the audio tracks on a dvd player?
Hi, I use DVD studio pro to make a dvd with a video track and two audio tracks. One is for stereo and the other is for 5.1 surround, in the same language (A1 and A2) . Is it possible to set the stream language in the way that on the display of the dvd player appear the name of the audio stream: stereo or surround?
Thanks in advance,
mNope, not somehting authoring in DVD SP can do.
I have not heard of it, but maybe some players have a feature to show info there (?) would be cool to have that as a feature to show info there -
I often access published papers from our university library. Since I updated Firefox, the QuickTime Player icon displays on my Mac, the papers load properly, but only the first page is displayed. If I copy the full URL from the Mozilla address line into another browser, the full article is loaded with that browser. Can you help, please. Firefox is my FAVORITE browser, but lately is causing me problems. Thank you.
Totally agree with this post. I like my swr30 a lot less now. Some ideas of the updates are good, but the execution is poorly and unusable. How do you do a roll back as you mentioned?

Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update. -
Context menu oddity: 2 "QuickTime Player" items on OSX context menu?
Hi,
This pertains to QuickTime Pro 7.0.4. I never noticed this before I upgraded to QuickTime Pro 7--when I right-click on a file that can be opened in QuickTime, I see two QuickTime Player items on the context menu. Either one opens the movie.
More specifically--when QuickTime is specified as the default application for a file, QuickTime Player appears at the top of the context menu as well as in the list of other applications that can open the file. When QuickTime is not the default application, two QuickTime Player items appear in the list of other application that can open the file when right-clicked.
I looked through the Contextual Menu Items folders, but couldn't find any duplicate files. This affects both my G5 desktop system and my PB G4; both are runnning the latest version of Tiger (10.4.6) as well as the latest version of DivX. On my G5, I have Final Cut Studio installed; but not on the PB.
Anyone else experience this oddity? Any idea how to get rid of the duplicate item on the context menu?
TIA
MThe contextual menu "Open With..." command uses data from the Launch Services app (part of the system software).
Having duplicates in the menu is a very old issue and there are dozens of reasons why multiple apps show up. It could be reading a "backed up" duplicate app or multiple copies (I have 4 versions of the QuickTime Player app installed) of the software.
Cleaning out the Launch Service list can be done with some third party software (I don't know the names) or with some Terminal commands (don't know them, either).
Maybe a Google search or a search at http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx can help you out. -
Quicktime Movies Causes UI To Lock Up (Safari & Quicktime Player)
When a page in Safari has an embedded Quicktime Movie, it causes my computer to lockup. It will not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input. The whole UI just locks up. Same with opening movies in Quicktime Player. I can SSH into the box, and when I run "top", I don't see anything pegging the CPU. The biggest problem is, Safari and Quicktime Player don't "crash", so no crash report is generated, and I have nothing to reference. I can issue a "sudo reboot" and the machine will restart.
If I set Safari to run in Rosetta, I experience no problems. Same with the Quicktime Player. However, Firefox work perfectly displaying Quicktime Movies.
I have the most current firmware and system updates. The problem is reproducible with a fresh user account, as well as with a clean system install. I even went to the trouble of zeroing the drive, and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS. I tested pre updates, and post updates, and it is reproducable across all instances. This was all done in front of a Genius at the Apple Store.
He was stumped...I'm not a QuickTime engineer but I noticed that the QuickTime Plugin.webplugin first appeared in Tiger and version 7. It caused me some grief when using the Safari Activity window to find source URL's for QuickTime files in pages. Removing it allowed the URL to appear in the Activity window.
Now most pages use javascript (.js) files to display QuickTimme files so they don't appear in the Activity window.
I beleive that the plug-in is used by Dashboard Widgets (also html files) to do some kind of "voodoo" similar to the plug-in architecture of Web browsers.
I've just applied at the La Cantera Apple Store for a job. Is that where you "stumped the genius"?
