QuickTime Plays Audio But No Video

For the past few days everytime I play an mpg or mov on my QuickTime Player (7.3), I hear the audio but instead of seeing any video, there's only the native aqua gray screen. This not only happens with downloaded mpgs or movs on the Internet, which
plays fine in whatever browser I'm using, but also with mov files I've made myself with Final Cut Pro.
I've already researched similar problems within this forum from the past few months and I've tried various suggested solutions, like trashing the QuickTime preferences, restarting, repairing permissions, but nothing has changed. I've also gone into QuickTime preferences>advanced>mime settings, checked the "video" box, clicked okay, and restarted, but when I drag a mov file onto the QuickTime icon in my dock, the SAME THING happens, audio without video.
This hasn't affected anything within FCP, but I can't see any of my files in QuickTime. The only thing I did lately was install a third party program to change the look of my iTunes interface, but I completely trashed my iTunes program, all related files, including my music library, and reinstalled them from my backup drive, in case that affected QT.
Any ideas?

  • Flash player 11.6.602.180 plays audio but not video...

    Very similar to problems reported by others.  Just started recently... flash player  on Win 7 and IE 10 plays audio but no video... just black box or blank.
    Have reinstalled flash player several times... including following all clean install instructions several times.  Installation completes and and tells me it's installed successfully.
    Have carefully matched IE settings to allow activeX content and have enabled the flash player object and turned on active scripting for all zones, etc.  Still no video.
    Going to the flash verification page shows a blank box where the current installed version should be.
    If I look in control panel under Flash Player it tells me the activeX version is 11.6.602.180 and that the plug in is "Not Installed"... could that be the problem?
    What can I do to fix this?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Can someone help with my apple tv 2 playing audio but no video sometimes.  The icon comes up in the bottom corner the same as when I play a song and the video does not come on once Ina while.

    Is that because AirPlay will not do streaming videos, just ones already loaded on the device?
    It's as clear as mud but the explanation is here.  My interpretation is that it's a licensing issue.
    AirPlay DOES do streaming videos.  Crackle is one example.  Netflix is another but, in the case of Netflix, there is no need for an iPad/iPod.

  • Blu Ray Burned in Encore CS4 play audio but no video

    I've burned this project multiple times and everytime I get the menus and the audio, but no video when played on a Blu Ray player. The same disc plays fine in computer/laptop. And when I tried a shorter version of the project (10 minutes vs. an hour and a half for the original) it plays fine everywhere. Could the file size be causing my disc not to play in a BD-R player? Then why would it play on a computer/laptop?

  • Quicktime plays audio but no visuals

    Hi
    My quicktime player plays audio but not visuals.
    The footage is Hdv footage which was filmed on a hdv camera recently.
    I have quicktime version 7.5 & os 10.4.3
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Mark

    Hi Mark and welcome to the forums!
    You really do need to update your OS to 10.4.11:
    The 10.4.11 Combo Updater for PPC Macs is here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eppc.html
    And for Intel Macs: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10411comboupdat eintel.html
    as well as updating Quicktime to 7.5.5 from the Apple download page.

  • .m4b files play audio but no video in QuickTime

    I recently upgraded to Lion, after which QuickTime no longer displays the video with my .m4b files.  It plays the audio fine, but none of the video slides that are in the files. I spent time on the phone with tech support, and all they could suggest was using another media player such as VLC.  But that doesn't answer the questions as to why QuickTime no longer plays the video in .m4b files.  Does anyone else experience this?

    I have found the solution - forget about QuickTime, use NicePlayer,

  • QuickTime 7.5 Plays Audio but no Video on .avi file

    Found a good clip to use in a classroom setting, but it is .avi. I updated QuickTime to 7.5, but still only plays audio - no video whatsoever. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Install Perian on the computer; if it doesn't work, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu and check the video format. An AVI file may contain audio and video of any format, and some formats cannot be used on Mac OS X.

  • .MOV files play audio but no video

    hi, does anyone know why that when i open a .MOV file from my digital camera in quicktime, the audio plays fine but the picture however is a fuzzy green and purple mess? i have tried re-installing quicktime and everything but it makes no difference. do i need a new plugin for .mov files? the video plays fine in realplayer, but i would like to be able to open it in quicktime for realplayer tends to jump and freeze quite a lot.
    any help would be most obliged!
    Sam

    Yes, this fixed my problem too.
    The problem appears to be that Quicktime for Windows is set to require DirectX support as the default and my Toshiba Tecra M2 notebook with NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M discrete video adapter probably doesn't support that.
    Quicktime Preferences (Advanced tab)
    ========================
    Safe mode (GDI only) <-- works, displays video correctly
    DirectX <-- video scrambled, brown/purple/other colors mess, but audio works
    Enable DirectDraw acceleration
    Enable DirectDraw on secondary monitors
    Enable Direct3D video acceleration

  • .mov file plays audio, but no video on win7

    A friend sent me some .mov files he recorded with his camcorder and loaded onto his mac. I have tried viewing them on my win7 machine using quicktime, windows media player, and vlc media player. On the first two the audio plays, but no video displays. the vlc player says:No suitable decoder module:
    VLC does not support the audio or video format "m2v1".
    Has anyone else seen / worked around this?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Ask the Mac author to use "delivery" codecs like H.264 video and AAC audio instead of the iMovie editing codecs.

  • Clicking on Transition and Title browsers causes '11 iMovie crash and projects/events play audio but no video

    After several years of working fine, my old iMovie started acting funny. Clicking on the Transition or Title browser would cause it to shut down. I just bought/downloaded the "upgrade" to '11 iMovie, 9.0.4, yesterday, and now, not only does it still do the same thing, but the projects or events won't play any video portion, only the audio.

    I seem to be having the same problem. I'm running a mac mini and I have like 5 photos, 1 song, and 2 movie clips (not a lot of stuff) in the movie, and when i go to preview it... I see the pictures, and hear the music... but no video.

  • MP4 VIDEOS OPENS IN QUICKTIME WITH AUDIO BUT NO VIDEO?

    I have downloaded may video clips from youtube with tubesock and they worked fine in quicktime pro and I was able to place them on Iweb, now they only play audio no video. What do you think happened.
    I can play them with my VLC player and they are fine.
    PLEASE HELP
    Michael

    Tubesock had a bug in their software which was allowing it to create invalid MPEG-4 files. The latest version of QuickTime will no longer play these invalid files, so if you just recently upgraded, that's your problem.
    The fix is easy, though. The developers of iSquint have released a Debreaker application that you get for free with the download of the free iSqint (it's all free is what I'm saying Download that app and use the Debreaker to fix your files, and you should be set.

  • Burned dvd plays audio but not video

    I just completed the first part of a wedding video and it burned fine. I just finished the second part and it looks and plays fine in imovie and idvd preview. However when I burn it and try to play it the dvd will only play the audio. the dvd starts like it's going to be fine, but the video stalls on the first frame and the audio continues. does anyone have any suggestions. I am trying to avoid starting over, but I don't know what else to do. I tried eliminating the first clip in case it was corrupt, but that didn't help.

    First thing you might do is in iDVD, use the menu option to "Delete encoded assetts" in case the previous garbage from the last project or burn is messing things up. If that doesn't work here are my standard list of things I do when I have issue or even just before I go to burn a new project...
    Run Cache Out X (free download) to clear all system and application caches.
    Run MacJanitor (free download) to do all the Unix Cron Maintenance scripts.
    Run Disk Utility (Applications -> Utilities) and repair disk permissions on your start up drive (typically your internal drive). Also verify any other drives mounted on the system.
    Run Preferential Treatment (free download) to check for corrupt/damaged application and system preference files.
    Reboot your Mac.

  • HD footage in Quicktime Pro 7.5 plays audio but no video / PC

    Hello,
    I'm trying to play HD footage in QT Pro 7.5 on my PC Notebook. I have the latest version for QT as well as the latest updates from MS.
    Can anyone shed some light (no pun intended) as to why I'm not getting video? Am I missing a specific codec for Windows QT version or won't HD footage play in QT Pro 7.5 for Windows?
    Any help would be grately apprecited.
    Thanks very much.

    Given this infomation what does this tell you? I don't see anything listing a

    Additionally, this prompt comes up:

    +may be available from the QT Components page.+
    +Make sure your internet network connection is active, then click+
    +the Continue button to check for the software.+
    When I access this page, there is a variety of QT Components available. I have read them, tried a few but no luck yet. Here's the link. Maybe you can tell me which (if any) component will solve this problem.

  • Front Row plays audio but not video of MP4 H264 AAC files

    SL 10.6.6
    Here's the problem:
    Take an MP4 movie file encoded with H264 and AAC thats plays with no problems in QT, iTunes, Front Row
    Open this file in QT7Pro, add a mask using a GIF file then export as MP4 using video and audio pass through to avoid re-encoding
    The new video file plays OK in QT and iTunes but only plays the audio track in Front Row - the video is just presented as a blank screen
    This happens to every file i've tried it with.
    I've tried trashing all front row caches/prefs/app support folders, installing/uninstalling/re-installing perian. i've tried changing the file extension to .mov .m4v .3gp - still the same problem the file plays perfectly except in Front Row
    All the posts I can find on this topic seem to refer to subtitles causing a problem - these files have no subtitle track
    Any suggestions?

    I have faced the same problem exactly. Some seasons and one movie I have detected so far, do not show any video at all. If I open the same files in iTunes, they show ok. If I open the same files in QuickTime thought no video also. I guess it has something to do with QuickTime then. Try it yourselves in order to see if it is the same problms with you guys. If that is the case I will try to extract an older version of QuickTime from the installation package via Pacifist and see if that works.
    Even if it doesn't work I am pretty sure they will come up with a new update fixing this, but the point is that Apple isn't used in making bugged updates, up until recent. What is wrong with them lately?
    Anyway, as soon as I have news in the afternoon I will let you know

  • Chromebook flash player works except at IMDB, plays audio but not video for movie trailers.

    Using Flash version 15.0.0.189.
    14 q039 Chromebook
    I have been using my new HP Chromebook for a couple of weeks now.  Very trouble free and fast, with little bloatware.  This leaves me with time to pursue funny little inconvenient glitches like trying to figure out why I have audio and a black video screen in native (small) and full screen modes at IMDB (Internet Movie Data Base).  Yes, I tried their FAQ and the Adobe FAQ without a resolution.
    I am an old mouse who knows that somebody above the maze that I am in, will know exactly where the cheese is.

    I'm having the same problem on both windows and mac OS. This seems to be a bug because QT 7.6.5 plays them fine on either machine, but QT 7.6.6 does not. I have over 2000 files encoded using h264 which played perfectly before the upgrade. I tried logging in under a different user which does Not work. I notice also when I view them in the finder window there is no poster frame, only the letters MPEG4 under the quicktime logo
    I hope this is an easy fix. I don't want to re-encode all those files and upload them to my web gallery.
    Help!
