Quicktime Player Show movie info window

How do you set it up that Quicktime Player automatically opens that window when it launches? I've have my QT player set so that it does this for so long that I forgot how I set it, but I accidentally closed the info window one day & quit QT Player. When I opened it again, I had to manually open the info window for the movie I was watching. Since then I've been unable to get that window to come up automatically as it did before. What do I need to do??

Okay, good news. Mac OS X hints has the solution for the problem. Just go to: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060130071542683
and that's all you need to do.

Movie Info Window

Hi.
It used to work this way in Tiger: if I quit QuickTime Player with the Movie Info window open, it would be opened the next time I would run QuickTime Player. Now it doesn't work this way anymore (I am not sure when it happened though).
I am using QuickTime 7.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.4.3. Is there any (hidden) setting that I should use in order to get the old behavior?
Thanks in advance,
LFOM

I've found the answer in the site MacOSXHints.com:
Running this from the terminal will do it:
defaults write com.apple.quicktimeplayer QTPMovieInfoShowPanel -bool true

Show File Info window disappearing

I am trying to access a Pages document in a file sharing arrangement, but Pages won't allow me to access it. I checked permissions on the Pages document and need to add permissions, but the Show File Info window closes before I can do anything to change permissions.

Eversave.app was the problem. It apparently was causing the issue - closed the app, problem disappeared.

J,
Not to dodge the issue, but you are having an OS problem, not a Pages problem. If nobody comes along here with an explanation, you might do well to post in the Snow Leopard discussion area, assuming your profile is correct.

Quicktime Player play mov issue

Hi
Why Quicktime Player play mov have wave line?and MPlayer play is look fine.

a very old version of Final Cut, Final Cut Express HD 3.0 ... I bought a Nikon D3100 DSLR
The Nikon D3100 records video as H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. This is not usable in FCE. You will need to convert the video to QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec in order to edit the video in FCE. Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the video clips from your D3100. Also, before importing the converted clips into FCE, select one of the FCE Easy Setups that matches how you shot your video ... 1920x1080i60 for example ... create a new sequence and then import the converted clips.
That said, I think you may still run into some issues with such an old version of FCE. FCE 3.0 only supported DV and HDV video, neither of which exactly matches what your D3100 can do. You will be better off upgrading to Final Cut Pro X, the current version of Final Cut.

Snow Leopard. Quicktime Player Squashes Movies??? HunH?!

Hello,
After upgrading to snow leopard, when I launch movies that I have authored in Final Cut Pro or iMovie HD. (That I rendered BEFORE Snow Leopard) The Quicktime player SQUASHES all of them now. If I open same files in VLC, they look correct. Tonight I gotta screen a film.
HELP... any quick way to fix this? What gives?

HELP... any quick way to fix this? What gives?
If using a system with the QT X player, switch to the QT 7 player. If using a system with the QT 7 player and you have QT Pro registered via FCP, simply open the the properties window and reset the "Current size:" setting for the video track to the correct aspect ratio dimensions with the "Keep Aspect" option deselected. Once corrected, you can then reset the "Keep Aspect" option and save the file. This is a quick and easy fix as long as the playing application does not rely on/look for a PAR value and ignore the "Current Size" specified (like iMovie '08/'09 or the QT X Player).

Making Quicktime slide shows (videos) with Windows

Hello. With the Mac platform, I am able to use my photo program, iPhoto, export photos from it and make a Quicktime slide show (video, with accompanying music from my music program, iTunes. Is this also possible with Windows, ie: where would the 'Export' command be and how would music be integrated into it? Any other helpful comments would be appreciated. Thank you.

You can open many different audio and image formats with the Windows version of QuickTime Pro. To assemble a slide show of still images you could open a folder of liked sized, sequentially named images and add that new file "scaled" to the audio track.
You could also open the audio track and "add scaled to selection" your individual image files. This method would allow you set the duration of each slide to different values but would limit your show to 98 images (99 track limit).
This method could also use different image dimensions, different "offsets", transparency "blends" and mask layers. Depending on your intended distribution format you could make HD sized QuickTime movies with multiple images displaying simultaneously (Brady Bunch style).
One of my older QuickTime files made using still images:

QuickTime player turns movies white

I have the new intel Mac Pro and the QuickTime player turns the movies that I need for homework white, it says that I need a third party software then it takes me to a page of them but doesnt say which one I need, I downloaded one of them but it still doesnt work. Im pretty sure I have Quicktime 7.1 but I downloaded the newest version 7.3.1 again just to make sure and it still doesnt work. One of the videos plays audio but just white video, the other one has nothing. One of the video clips has a v210, Integer (Big Endian) Timecode codec and the other is DVCPRO HD (1080i60) codec. They are not long in length only a few seconds but when I open them they just turn white. Help me please!

It could might be that because your MacBook is brand new it may not have the codecs needed to play the files. I had problems playing avi (white screen with sound). If you download a few third party codes they may help. I loade up 3ivx (www.3ivx.com) and Divx (www.divx.com) and they did the trick. These are both UB and solved my problem. But if they are some fancy new codec only playable with the software that created it mayby a player other han Quicktime will play them. I'm not realy familiar with the codecs you mentioned and not sure if they are codecs that can be contained as an avi format. VLC (www.videolan.org/) plays almost anything.

Crashes while trying to copy info from "Movie info" window

Hi,
does anyone experienced this thing also? When i play streaming media and try to select and copy info from "Movie Info" QT crashes instantly (QT 7.1.3)
Any idea
PowerMac G5 2x2GHz, PowerMac G5 2,3GHz DC Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Also, see this ARTICLE from the Tips & Tricks sub-forum, for things to look at with crashes and hangs. It covers the hardware, the OS and the software, and offers links for tuning up the system, and getting it ready for video editing. I know that there is a lot of material in there, but Neale has done a great job of putting things into a checklist, and offering links to other material.
That rec. is for use along with John T's links, which are a bit more specific to your burned DVD's.
Good luck,

Quicktime player opens behind browser window

I have have a webpage that has several quicktime movies, each one is linked to another quicktime movie that opens a rtsp stream which is located in a password protected directory (using htaccess).
When a movie is clicked a password dialog box opens, after the username and password are entered the player begins the stream. On mac's, the player opens in front of the browser... on pc's(windows xp), the player opens behind the browser. Does anyone know how to make the player open in front of all windows on a pc?
Here is the html code:
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="200" width="128"> <param name="controller" value="false" /> <param name="src" value="####.mov" /> <param name="href" value="#####.mov" /><param name="target" value="QuickTimePlayer" />
<embed src="####.mov" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" controller="false" href="#####.mov" target="QuickTimePlayer" height="200" width="128">

Error message when trying to open Quicktime player 7.2 in Windows Vista

I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the Q Player a couple times but I still cannot get the player to run. This is the error message that pops up:
Microsoft Visual C + + Runtime Library
Buffer overrun detected
Program: C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QuickTimePlayer.exe
A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program’s internal state.
The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated
Thank you in advance for any help you might have for me.

Let's try swapping out your QuickTime one more time, taking a few additional precautions this time.
head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. In the Start menu, click "Computer".
2. In "Computer", open "Local Disk".
3. Open "Program Files".
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime and QuicktimeVR.
7. Restart your computer.
Now try another QuickTime install. Does it go through properly this time?

Flash player shows "Movie not loaded" on Firefox 7; would 32 bit version or mode solve?

Flash Player 11.0.1.152 is loaded on my machine. Firefox 7.0.1 is my browser. Running Windows 7 Home Premium. Flash content which worked before now does not. When I visit Flash enabled sites, the display area for the Flash content remains blank. When I right click in the display are, I get the "Movie not loaded" message. I have seen suggestions that the current Flash version does not work in 64 bit browsers. Is a 32 bit version of Firefox 7 available or is there a way to run it in 32 bit mode? Does it sound likely that this would resolve the issue?

This computer has two different versions of Flash Player for Internet Explorer and two different versions of Flash Player for other browsers.
A clean install is recommended:
Windows
Download the current 32 bit uninstaller Uninstaller for 32 bit Operating Systems
Close all browser windows and run the uninstaller
Restart Windows
Delete all remaining files and folders located in the following directories. (tip: copy and paste these paths into the path bar in an Explorer window)
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flas
%appdata%\Adobe\Flash Player
%appdata%\Macromedia\Flash Player
Verify that the file “FlashPlayerCPLApp.cpl” in C:\Window\system32\ for 32 bit systems has been deleted.
Download the following installer files:
32 bit Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
32 bit Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
Physically disconnect from the Internet and run the installers.

Quicktime slides show movies not working in iweb

made keynote (hyperlinks only) slideshows, then exported to quicktime. slideshows work on desk top but not online in iweb o8 ( movie pages). Largest show is 4.4mb. they sometimes work, but mostly run on arbitrary loop. if i cant figure this out I might have to leave iweb. have I missed somthing simple?

I solved the problem by simply removing Safari and using an other browser. I'll have to remove the sentence on my webpages that advises people to use Safari.

Quicktime player shows no picture

Safari 3.0.4, Quicktime 7.4.1, iMac OS 10.5.1; best example of the problem is trying to watch Movie Trailers on the Apple site. Control bar opens half way up the allocated space where the picture should display, instead of at the bottom. If I pause and allow the trailer to fully download, then click Refresh, it then loads properly.
However, Quicktime loads the trailers correctly using Firefox 2.0.0.12.
I've tried removing and doing a clean re-load of Quicktime, but there is no change. Did a miss a setting somewhere, or is there another fix?

Hi,
Hmm.. in System preferences->Quicktime -> Browser tab is the Play movies automatically box selected? if not tick that on
QT-> Streaming tab, is your Streaming Speed on the appropriate setting> for your connection?
Is the Enable instant-on box selected, again if not do so.
