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.

  • 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.

  • HT204291 Plays audio but no video sometimes

    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.

  • HT3775 Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos?

    Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos? Is there a download to help resovle this.

  • 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

  • Audio but no visual in DV

    Received some .dv files for editing recently that while they play in the preview window in finder, when opened in quicktime, they only play audio, with a black box for video. When opened, a quick flash of video shows, but converts to black. These import to FCE fine.
    Codecs on file that play fine in Quicktime 7.5.5 from the same import session list DV/DVCPRO - NTSC, Integer (Little Endian), Timecode.
    If 'Timecode' is not present as a codec, the don't play correctly in quicktime.
    Any thoughts on how to correct this?

  • I have 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car and 30 to lighting cable and adapter plays audio but does not charge.  Is there a fix

    My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone.  it charged and played audio.  I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge.  It only play audio.  I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine.  Is there anything to fix this?

    Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Ipod Plays audio but video is tiny

    I have a video that I edited in Final Cut Pro and exported as a .4v file. When I transfer it to my 80 gig Ipod it plays the audio but the video is extremely small on screen. I transfered to a 60 gig Ipod and it played fine.
    Any Thoughts?

    Try not using Final Cut Pro. If you need to use it, export it as mp4 not 4v. After doing that, play the video in iTunes (in a separate window). Is there a black space around the edges of the movie? If so, edit the movie to not have those black spaces.
