Quicktime Player X Show Movie Properties is gone?

I still have QT player 7 on my machine, but why is "Show Movie Properties" gone from QT X Player? I need that in order to turn on and off text layers to get chapters to work in BitVice. So I guess the fix is just use QT Player 7 in the meantime? Thanks for any insight!

Hi,
Maybe there should have been an option for Quicktime Pro users to ignore the Quicktime X update.
I don't see the point of Quicktime X (other than the cosmetic changes) Why do we need two copies of Quicktime when everything we need from Pro is absent from X.
I hope that X gets a Pro option in the near future before Apple brings out another OS update that makes Quicktime 7 Pro obsolete.
Regards

  • QuickTime Pro keeps crashing when I open "Show Movie Properties"

    I keep getting the "QuickTime Player has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." crash when I try and do "Show Movie Properties" on .MOV files.
    The error signature is:
    EventType : BEX P1 : QuickTimePlayer.exe P2 : 7.65.17.80
    P3 : 4afa5828 P4 : QuickTimePlayer.dll P5 : 7.65.17.80 P6 : 4afa5820
    P7 : 0000130d P8 : c0000409 P9 : 00000000
    Any suggestions?
    I'm running the latest QuickTimePro (7.6.5) on WinXP SP3

    in fact it's one of the few bits of Quick Time that seems stable on my PC!
    Hmmmmm ... your symptoms aren't typical for what I'm about to check on. But I think we ought to check to see if any other application has sprayed old QuickTime componentry into unorthodox places on the PC. (That's one possible cause of a BEX.)
    (1) Go Start > My Computer.
    (2) From the Tools menu, select Folder Options ...
    (3) Click the View tab.
    (4) Make sure Show hidden files and folders is selected and Hide extensions for known filetypes is unchecked.
    (5) Click OK.
    Now head down into your C:\Windows\system32\ directory. What files and folders with QuickTime in the file/folder-name can you see in there?
    (In a standard QuickTime installation, you should see precisely two files, QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx, and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

  • Use QuickTime Player to convert movies to iPod video format......

    I don't know if this has been posted but, thought everyone might find it useful.
    You can convert quicktime movies to readable ipod video format without having to purchase Quicktime Pro. Thats right, just the Quicktime player.
    Now, I know that you can use Handbrake along with other converter programs for free. but just in case you want to use Quicktime Player here is a link that will show you how via applescript or automator.
    http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~ari/scripts/Quicktime2iTunesVideo.html

    Here's a step-by-step of ONE of the ways (I have a Mac) you can convert your videos (mpgs) to mpeg4 files to view on your 5th gen iPods so your videos will have sound:
    I use Mpeg streamclip found on www.squared5.com.
    (This is from memory and I don't have the program opened in front of me so apologies if this is not totally accurate!)
    Once you've installed Mpeg streamclip, and opened up a new window, drag the mpg file you want converted onto the new window. You should now see the first clip of your video in the window.
    Go to File and choose "Export to MPEG4". This will open up another window. Click the button "iPod" on the upper right corner of the window and that will automatically input the settings for an iPod. Then click the button "Export to MPEG4" at the lower right corner of the window. You have to choose where you want your file saved. I just place them in the Videos folder of my hard drive. Then this will start the conversion of your mpg.
    Depending on how large your file is, this may take awhile.
    When the conversion is complete, simply take your new file (now with ".mpeg4" as an extension) and DRAG it into your iTunes library. I don't remember if you have to actually drag it onto your iPod as well.
    As you drag the mpeg4 file onto your iPod, it should say "updating song" at the top of you iTunes window, then you know it worked.
    So now you have a VIDEO on your iPod that plays SOUND!!
    Hope this was helpful.

  • Why won't Quicktime Player open a .mov VR file ?

    (I'm on a new MBP, with Yosemite 10.10.2, QT Player v.10.4)
    Nothing opens except the app when I double click on a .mov file, the playback controls don't even come up.
    This does not happen on all .mov files, but several VR files which were outputted to Quicktime. 

    I think I figured it out:
    The new osx QT (with Mavericks and Yosemiteseems to be the issue (see http://osxdaily.com/2014/07/20/run-quicktime-player-7-in-mac-os-x/)
    I downloaded the older Quicktime Player 7 and the files work perfectly

  • Quicktime crashes while showing .mov file in dual screen presenter mode

    This is a recent occurance, but often I will connect my computer to show movies and lately no matter what the format, after a few minutes while presenting the movie on a second monitor, quicktime crashes. I have to start it all over again, often 3-5 times while watching one movie. Any ideas how to prevent this or what is happening? Is it possibly my video card? This makes me apprehensive to buy an apple tv with the video crashing.

    No solution, but didn't like it hanging around...sorry.

  • New quicktime player:  can I move the play buttons off the video?

    Can I organize the Quicktime player like the old version?  With the play buttons / time line on the bottom, outside and away from the video?
    E.g., I do not want the play buttons / time line to "float" over the video window. It's distracting for times when I need to pause and scroll over video to find certain spots.  It is really in the way.
    Quicktime 10.1
    Mac OS 10.7.3

    Wow, that is unfortunate.  It's really annoying to have that in the screen.
    Do you know if Quicktime Pro has the same thing?  If so I won't spend the money for it.
    thanks

  • Quicktime player for .avi movies

    Hello,
    I have downloaded the latest QT version pro and i can't play the avi movies i have. QT always ask me to instal component for quicktime. I have installed divx codec and xvid to... no difference.
    the only movie i can play is a small avi movie made from a camera.
    thanks for helping me

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you can identify the codec used (if QuickTime's Movie Inspector won't list the codec, another player such as VLC Media Player probably will), you can post that information here and someone may be able to point you to the appropriate codec or confirm that a QuickTime-compatible codec doesn't exist.
    Regards.

  • HT3775 QuickTime Player cannot play "mov" file

    Hi,
    I have a problem to play "mov" file.
    regards,

    As Linc said, download VLC media player. Quicktime has limited codecs and would require a plugin to play .mov files, but I personally prefer VLC over any plugin available.

  • Quicktime Movie Properties and FCP

    If I open a file in Quicktime, and go to Movie Properties, there is a button for High Quality, which seems to sharpen the image. Can anyone tell me exactly what it does - is it just a sharpening filter? If it really is improving the playback quality, can you select this as enabled when exporting from FCP?
    Cheers
    Steve

    By default, QT Movies are set to NOT playback at highest quality when playing back on your system. There's a freeware program called HiQual you can use that sets the high quality flag automatically when you drop a QT movie on it: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/14255

  • 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.

  • Editing Movie Properties in QTX?

    Anyone who may have used the "Show Movie Properties" in QuickTime 7 to edit the metadata of a movie file knows its a bit cumbersome, I was wondering how QTX makes this process - if indeed it includes it at all?
    I read that some of the features QuickTime 7 had are absent from QTX, so how about this one?

    There is no "Movie Properties" window in QuickTime X.
    Snow Leopard users can use both QuickTime Player (upgradable to Pro) and QuickTime X.

  • HT3678 Registering QuickTime Player Pro

    When I hit tab (as the directions state) in the registration window for Quick time player 7 Pro nothing happens, it tabs up to the first window. I know I need Quick Time Player 7, I have downloaded it, I have found it in the Utilities folder of my Applications folder. By the way I have no idea if I have clicked on the correct community to pose this question to.  I have version OS X 10.6.8, it doesn't state Lion, Mountain Lion, Snow leopard or Gazelle... (that would be frustration sarcasm).  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    From the Help menu:
    Resizing, Flipping, or Rotating a Movie
    You can change the size and orientation of a video track of a movie.
    To resize or rotate a QuickTime movie:
    1. In QuickTime Player 7, choose Window > Show Movie Properties.
    2. In the Properties window, select a video track and click Visual Settings.
    3. To resize the movie, type new numbers in the Current Size fields. To keep the same height-to-width proportions, select Preserve Aspect Ratio.
    4. To rotate the movie, click one of the rotate buttons.
    To restore the movie to its original appearance, click Reset.
    I opened a sample video to show where they mean:
    Note that the name of the video is Yosemite.mov, which is what is first highlighted when I open the video. You cannot perform the changes you want while that is the highlighted line. I clicked on the Video Track and then had the options to scale and/or rotate the video.

  • No sound from my quicktime player

    While using quicktime player to watch movies I am able to view the movies fine. However I am unable to hear the sound. Also When I play .AVI movies same result. Excellent video zero sound. Can someone assist me in this matter. I have done the basic trouble shooting of checking the audio level both in quicktime and on my Mac. Thanks.

    You need to download and install these plug-ins:
    Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
    Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.

  • Quicktime Player won't play Sketchup animations

    After switching to Lion, Quicktime player renders animation .mov files exported from Sketchup as just black. I can get the movie to play by importing the .mov file into Final Cut Express, then re-exporting it as a .mov from that program. After doing that Quicktime Player plays the movie okay. What gives? Using OS10.7.2,  Quicktime 10.1, and Sketchup 8 on a Mac Pro.

    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
