  • QuickTime Player Won't Record from Sony Camera

    Odd problem. I have 2 Mac Book Pro 13 laptops running 10.8, identical configurations, both running the latest version of Quick Time. I also have 2 identical Sony HD Professional Video cameras. We use these in our studio here at Stanford.
    I start the QuickTime program (free, built-in), and select the Sony DVR camera (connected via Firewire to the MBP), and hit Record. On one of the laptops the counter begins running, and when I'm done I hit Stop and then I can select what to name the recording and where to save it.
    On the other laptop I hit Record, the counter does NOT start running, and when I hit Stop, it returns an error: Cannot Record - please try again. There is no other detail about the error.
    Both laptops are completey updated with the latest patches, and there's no other difference between the two laptops. Both have the same version of QuickTime.
    I can't find anything in the forums anywhere that describe this specific issue.
    Ideas?

  • 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!

  • 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!

    QuickTime Player 10.2

    I don't know much about QuickTime Player. Nevertheless, maybe the following script, tested with QuickTime Player 10.3 under OS X 10.9.1, can help you.
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
        set theDocument to new screen recording
        activate
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "QuickTime Player"
            tell menu button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
                click
                tell menu item "Show Mouse Clicks in Recording" of menu 1
                    if value of attribute "AXMenuItemMarkChar" is missing value then
                        click
                    else
                        keystroke return
                    end if
                end tell
            end tell
            click button 1 of window "Screen Recording"
            repeat until exists menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
                delay 1
            end repeat
            repeat while exists menu bar item 1 of menu bar 2
                delay 1
            end repeat
            repeat until exists window "Untitled"
                delay 1
            end repeat
            click menu item "Save…" of menu 1 of menu bar item "File" of menu bar 1
        end tell
    end tell

  • Quicktime Player won't play avi files all of a sudden

    All of a sudden Quicktime Player won't play my avi files. They worked previously. I could play them with Quicktime 7 with or without Perian. I'm running 10.6.4.
    They'll run fine on my MacBook and I don't have Perian installed on it.
    Any ideas?

    I just uninstalled Flip4Mac and everything is working as it's supposed to. Very strange. Perhaps a conflict with Perian? But then again, QT didn't play the avi files with Perian installed. So, I guess the conflict is with Flip4Mac and something else.
    Thanks anyway

  • Quicktime player won't open anything. Mac pro

    My quicktime player won't play anything. Need suggestion on what to do.

    Can you launch QT by itself, not clicking first on a file? If so, then use Open and navigate to your file. Do you have any other media players installed (Windows Media Player, Realplayer)? Maybe one of them is set as default. Also browse through the More Like This threads to the right to see what others have tried.

  • My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start

    My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start. I installed DiV X today and all this happened is there anyway to fix this?? I went through everything dragging the icon to the trash and deleting it from safari extentions.

    Download and install
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac  Note that Perian will be discontinued after the release of Mountain Lion:  http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57434082-263/perian-plug-in-for-quicktime-t o-be-discontinued/?tag=txt;title

    Search the App Store for "photo timer" (without quotation marks).
    Click here for one free example that may do what you want.
    There are others that offer different features.

    When I record with my iSight camera, after a few seconds it stops recording and tell me there is "Dropfame" images. What do I have to make?
    A few weeks ago, my camera doesn't do that, but since 1-2 weeks it becomes impossible to record with it.

    Hi mstearns59,
    If you are having issues with the audio in a movie in iTunes and video playback issues I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Quicktime Player won't screen record

    I have Quicktime Player 10.0 (but it doesn't show a "Q" icon - see my other post about this), and Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8).
    When I launch Quicktime Player, I have a selection under "File" for "New Screen Recording", but when I select it, nothing happens.  From what I've reasearched, I'm supposed to get another screen (black, with a red button to start recording), but nothing happens on my screen.  The "New Screen Recording" is now greyed out, but I don't see that it's recording anywhere.
    help?

  • Quicktime Pro Won't Record Video or Audio

    I'm trying to record a movie with Quicktime Pro 7.5 on my MacBook, using the built in iSight. I can see myself on the screen live, but when I press the red record button, I just instantly get this message.
    Recording failed to record a movie.
    Ditto for audio.
    I quit, restarted the computer, to no avail. What's up?

    When I had this problem awhile back, it was because I had set QuickTime Player to open with Rosetta previously when troubleshooting a problem. That might be something you want to check as well.
    Also, try creating a new user to see if you can capture under that user. (That's how I successfully determined what my problem was)

  • New iMac w iSight won't record with iMovie

    I got a new iMac G5 w a built in iSight, but I can't record video with the camera. Every time I try to record with iMovie, it doesn't recognize the built in camera and it always comes up as "no camera attached." How do I record video?

    This is the same topic as another thread started today. Quicktime Pro does record from the built-in iSight as does EchoFX's USBVision. Several people have submitted to Apple an iMovieHD feature request to enable direct capture from the built-in iSight. Maybe Apple will offer that in a future iMovie update.

  • My Quicktime player won't startup.

    *Can anyone help me please!*
    *If I want to start Itunes it says that it needs Quicktime player to start up (I know that). But the weird thing is my quicktime player is already installed on my pc. And if I start up Quicktime Player it won't start up, and after 30 seconds there comes a message Quicktime Player does not react, do you want to send this rapport or don't you want to send the rapport.*
    *I tried reinstall, compatibility mode, reboots. But it all doesnt work. The same problem I have wil realplayer too.*

    Er is een uitzondering opgetreden tijdens het uitvoeren van C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL ''C:\Program Files\Quicktime\QTSystem\QuickTime.cpl'',Quicktime
    Thank you!
    It's looking for the QuickTime.cpl in the correct place. So I think we might just be dealing with a badly broken QuickTime.
    Let's try the following procedure. (My apologies, I don't have a Dutch translation for all of this.)
    Download and save a fresh copy of the QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line and don't start the install just yet.)
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Sluit QuickTime Player.
    Kies Configuratiescherm in het menu Start.
    Kies Software in het Configuratiescherm.
    Kies QuickTime uit de lijst van momenteel geïnstalleerde programma's en klik vervolgens op Verwijderen.
    Als u wordt gevraagd indien u QuickTime wilt verwijderen, klikt u op Ja.
    Andere vermeldingen van Quicktime in Software (indien aanwezig) moeten ook worden verwijderd.
    Now we'll remove any leftover program files and folders.
    Start de computer opnieuw op.
    Nadat de computer opnieuw is opgestart, opent u Lokaal station (C:) in Computer of het station waarop de programma's zijn geïnstalleerd.
    Open de map Program Files.
    Klik met de rechtermuisknop op de map QuickTime (als die bestaat), kies Verwijderen en kies Ja als u wordt gevraagd het verwijderen te bevestigen. Klik op Doorgaan als er in Windows wordt gevraagd om bevestiging of toestemming.
    Open Lokaal station (C:) in Computer of het station waarop uw besturingsprogramma is geïnstalleerd.
    Open de map Windows.
    Open de map System32.
    Klik met de rechtermuisknop op het QuickTime-bestand (als het bestaat), kies Verwijderen en kies Ja als u wordt gevraagd het verwijderen te bevestigen. Klik op Doorgaan als er in Windows wordt gevraagd om bevestiging of toestemming.
    Klik met de rechtermuisknop op het bestand QuickTime VR (als het bestaat), kies Verwijderen en kies Ja als u wordt gevraagd het verwijderen te bevestigen. Klik op Doorgaan als er in Windows wordt gevraagd om bevestiging of toestemming.
    Klik met de rechtermuisknop op de Prullenbak en klik op Prullenbak leegmaken.
    Start de computer opnieuw op.
    After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Now start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Does QuickTime launch properly now?

  • QuickTime Player: New Screen Recording question

    When creating a New Screen Recording, it is possible to only record the audio coming from the speakers and NOT record the audio in the room where the macbook is sitting?

    Soundflower allows you to route system audio into an application.
    Install Soundflower-- http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/ (instructions for use) and http://code.google.com/p/soundflower/downloads/list (application)-- to add system audio (core audio) inputs to the line-in and microphone options already present in QuickTime Player (i.e., QuickTime 10).   Once it's installed,
    1. System Preferences > Sound > Output.  Select Soundflower (2ch).
    2. Open QT and begin a New Screen Recording.  In the Screen Recording window, click the dialogue triangle on the right.  Under Microphone, select Soundflower (2ch).
    3. Begin your screen recording.
    Note, however, that you won't be able to hear system audio while using Soundflower as a QT input--the audio that was going to your speakers is now going into QT instead.  When you finish your recording, go back to System Preferences > Sound > Output to route the audio back to Internal Speakers or your usual default audio output.

  • 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 - QuickTime Media Formats
    Video - QuickTime Player
    Video Player - Divx
    Video Player - VLC
