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.

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).

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.

QuickTime Player's H.263 capabilities and "white"/"blank" video

Hi All,
I recently recorded a set of 3GP files, all of which have H.263 video tracks and AMR-NB audio tracks.
- When I play these files with Quicktime Player, I see "white" (or maybe "blank" is a better term) video.
- When I extracted the video track from these 3GP files as a raw H.263 bitstream, and decoded it with TMN 3.2.0 H.263 decoder, the decoding proceeded without a problem, and when I played the YCbCr file created by the TMN 3.2.0 H.263 decoder, the video looked absolutely fine.
- When I play these 3GP files with another media player (VLC), the video looks fine.
My question is - what are the limits on H.263 content that can be handled by Quicktime player (in terms of profiles, levels, annexes of the H.263 standard)? I am extremely surprised to see that bitstreams which can decoded even by the TMN decoder, which is very old, buggy and restricted in implementation, Quicktime Player could not handle.
Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks.

2:20:02:01 is a big file, just how big is it?
Anyhoo.. try open in MPEG Streamclip and using the file, export to MPEG-4 and an iTunes preset, iPhone specifically, and see what happens. You can select just a minute of the clip with setting the I/O points and CMD+C to copy, CMD+N open a new player and CMD+V to paste , save that and test with it as it takes of course 1/2:20:00:01 of the amount of time.
MPEG Streamclip is free.
Also from a QT point of view what happens if you copy say 1 minute or 5 minutes, paste into a new player and then export that in QT?
I think this file may be too large, just off the top of my head.

QuickTime Player Problem with iWeb v3.0.4 and Safari v5.1.2

iWeb v3.0.4 published web site with Safari v5.1.2:
I'm in the process of creating a web site (www.koinonia.com) using iWeb v3.0.4. There is an inserted QuickTime element on the home page which is playing an mp3 music file. The QuickTime player (Show movie controller option in iWeb) does not work with Safari v5.1.2 (but does work fine with Firefox v9.0.1). There should be a Movie Controller below the album jpeg image, but is not there with Safari. Also, the movie (mp3 audio file) does not play automatically (plays fine with Firefox). This looks to be a bug with Apple's iWeb / Safari applications.
Does anyone know how to get the QuickTime element to play with Safari v5.1.2?
Thanks

Safari 5 running in Snow Leopard has been a problem for me. It screws up html, loads a distorted control bar in HTML5 and crashes every now and again when I do a Google search. Reporting these issues is a waste of time as the latest update had no fix. I test all my pages in Firefox and Chrome and don't bother much with Safari since less than 3% use it.
I have the same issue as the OP. The file will only load in Safari if the page is open in Firefox at the same time.
This problem arose over a year ago and is related to files imported from iTunes via the media browser. If the OP will confirm that the file came from iTunes, I will have a look at the meta data to see if there's anything there that iTunes has added.
The only time I am forced to use iTunes is for apps that don't allow import from the finder such as certain situations in Keynote. Otherwise, I wish it would disappear down a black hole in the universe along with Windows and Internet Explorer.
I converted the file to MP4 with QT Pro to prove the point that its the actual MP3 file that is causing the problem - along with Safari.
I haven't depended on the QT Plugin for playing media for quite some time now. HTML5 now works in all modern browsers and should also work in IE 8 if the HTML5 Shiv is included in the head of the page.
Its also a breeze to get flexible movies in responsive web design using HTML 5...

I don't bother too much with flash fallback anymore since these designs are mainly for mobile devices and I can ignore those who are reluctant to upgrade their out of date browsers.

Quicktime Pro Turns My Movies Bright Blue!

I'm trying to turn a flash .mov file into a .dv file. When I do this it turns my file bright blue! I don't understand. The software is worthless. Is there anyway I can get a refund?

QuickTime Control Panel / Advanced tab
Try "Safe mode" on the .dv file.
A quit and relaunch of QuickTime Player is required.

Movie trailer or any other links in the quicktime player does not work

When I click on the movie trailer/Hot picks/Quick picks links on the player interface nothing happens. When I move the Mouse it changes to a hand showing the link is clickable.
Also when I click on the "Quicktime Website" or the "Quicktime Player Help" from the Help Menu, nothing happens.
When I go to any apple website and clicks on the sample trailer movies links, it is playing the trailer.
Anybody may please tell how to solve the problem.

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

I have lots of .MOV files on my iPhone5 that I need to transfer to my PC. Using QuickTime Player 7.7.4 I am unable to view them once they have been copied to a hard drive or directly from the iPhone via USB. 1% of the time a vid is viewable

I can tranfer them to a hard drive on my PC, but am unable to view most of them using QuickTime Player 7.7.4. Doesn't matter if I'm viewing them via a USB connection to my iPhone5 or from a hard drive after the file has been copied via USB. 1% of the vids are viewable, 20% open with a black screen and audio only. The rest open with a blue, purple and green stryrated mess and no audio. Yes its a Quick Time problem I know but where do I post this question in the community? Also searching my drives for other .MOV files downloaded from the net I find the same problem with them.

Heres what I don't like about VLC, but at least the files are viewable...somewhat.
1. You can't flip the image 90degrees, needs to have a rotate feature for sure. This needs to have keyboard shortcut so vids can be rotated easily as one may have shot video horizontally and vertically in the same take.
2. Opens file to a very large window, most of it off the screen, it should REMEMBER what you resized it to, so the next time a video is played you don't have to drag the window back on the screen so you can get to the resizing handle in the lower corner.
3. Doesn't buffer while playing, so the movies are extremely erractic, starting and stopping every 3 seconds, highly annoying.
OK so maybe my PC is too slow, its a dual processor 486 Hyperrthread 2.8G but I only have 2Gigs of memory, however, bettery than 50% of the memory is still available while playing a vid (memory is checked every 4 seconds with a program), but I have 90-100% CPU useage going on while playing.
Maybe I should think about a new computer.

Help with .mov files that QuickTime Player says it can't read

Help. I have .mov files (on an external hard drive) I can see that they are there, but every time I try to open any of them with QuickTime Player I get the error message "could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."
Help....suggestions...ideas????

Same boat, hope someone has some ideas on this.

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. It gives me the following error "You can't open the application "QuickTime Player.app" because it may be damaged or incomplete." What can I do?

After installing Maverick, my downloaded movies will not play in Quick Time. I receive the following error message:
You can’t open the application “QuickTime Player.app” because it may be damaged or incomplete. So I tried to unistall QT and I get an error that says, You can not delete this application as it is a requirement for the OSX.
Well I did find a way to delete it, by going into the various components and one by one deleting it. Now I reinstall it and the message is that this Quick Time is for an earlier version before Maverick 7. SMH....Now what.?

Hello, terrygav.
I would recommend processing a reinstall of Mavericks.

Quicktime Player Pro won't play any movies?

Ever since I restored my computer about a month ago, my Quicktime Player won't play any video formats correctly. .avi files don't play anymore, and mp4 files only play sound with the screen black. Then when I try to close the application, I get the pinwheel for a long time, thus making me force quit every time. How can I fix this so it can play movies correctly?
(I'd also like to know how to get it to play .mka format movies as well)

Courtney,
There are a lot of possible CODECS used with .AVI file, not all of which are available for the QuickTime player.
If you just want to play the AVI files use the free VLC media player found at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

TS1859 I have a .mov file that won't play in QuickTime Player, MPEG Streamclip or in FCP but plays in VLC, how can I convert it so I can use it in FCP?
