Quicktime Plays only sound no video

I have had this problem for a while now and never really tried to figure out the problem until now. I just upgraded Quicktime to 7.0 today but I still can't see any video when playing a .MOV file all I get it sound. That goes for if I try to play it in anyother type of player. I have tried to find help but so far I have come up empty. I just want to be able to play .mov files and see video. I hope someone can help me out here thanks.

The first thing I noticed was that you used Microsoft Word to make your Web page code. Bad choice and sloppy code.
Your movies do not "stream" (they download) so the extra hint tracks are a waste of bandwidth and are not needed in the movies.
You are linking directly to the .mov files (also bad). Many computers (PC's) will simply try and download the files. Each movie link should be in it's own html coded page and should have the proper object and embed tags or the QuickTime plug-in may not work. Internet Explorer requires these tags to turn on ActiveX. Many PC users will never be able to see your movies without them.
Last is the fact that you've used the H.264 video codec in the files. This codec requires the viewer to have QuickTime 7 or the Windows Public Preview 3 installed on their computers. This leaves out Windows 95, 98, ME and Mac users running anything under 10.3.9.
Sorry for all the negative news. This is how most of us learned, too.

  • Videos playing only audio, not video

    i recently added a bunch of ripped videos to my iphone (MPEG-4 video). when i try to play them, iphone transitions to landscape mode as if it were going to display the video, but it only plays sound. the screen remains black. videos purchased from itunes in the same format play fine, other MPEG-4s don't. any thoughts as to why only the audio is playing and not the video as well? thanks.

    l'age d'or,
    MPEG-4 has several possible encoding options. If you open the video in Quicktime, and choose Window -> Show Movie Info, it will list the encoding options.
    You may want to verify the videos are not MUXed, and they have the appropriate video encoding. This tutorial gives the steps for converting videos with Quicktime:

  • Airplay only sound no video

    airplay only sound no video

    I am trying to watch NBC, ABC, CBS and other channels. I tried from Safari right from the net work and the app they provide. I get the sound and no video. I see this problem all over mac forums and Mac rumors. Then it hit me duh, why aren't I asking this question in apple support? So here I am. I have never had an issue with airplay it has always work flawlessly. Now it is a no show tv shows.  I hope I can get a answer here. Are they somehow blocking the video from using airplay? Some one please give a Apple TV addict a hand. Thank you for your time, David

  • TV@ANYWHERE can record only sound no video

    I have just bought tv@anywhere master even the seller recommended PixelView not MSI but I have MSI Motherboard (875 neo) MSI FX5200 so I took this tv tuner.
    It works fine the picture is clear and the sound is mono (Strange It doesn't support stereo !! even I connected the composite connection) but whn I capture every thing seems alright but when viewing the mpeg file there is only sound but no picture (only black screen)
    Any help please because If it doesn't work I have to return it within 3 days only

    Are you certain it's the "master" (8606)? The older non-"master" is MONO only.
    If it is the "master" and you are in a PAL region, check the chipset (881) suffix. If it is -17, return the card. Get a later stepping, if you are determined to stay with the card.

  • Quick Time Plays Only Sound... No Video

    This problem only exists on ONE of my XP machines. For some unknown reason, QT will only play sound and not the video from a website. I tested this at Apples website where all video should stream using the QT Player.
    Did not work with Safari or Firefox. I hear the sound but no video from all the Apple tutorials for example..
    Furthermore, when I click to watch the most recent Keynote, QT tries to open but states that "unsupported media type". Of course, I'm like ***, Quicktime can't play an Apple Video! Something is wrong.
    ANY help would be appreciated. I'm quite capable with computers, both Mac and XP, but this one has me baffled....Yes, I reinstalled QT 7.6...Thank you.

  • Plays only sound with a white screen in Quicktime

    Hello all,
    After I export my HDV file into a .mov file I try to view it in Quicktime. When I play it in quicktime it shows up as a blank white screen with only the audio working. This is odd because the video file plays perfectly fine in Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro.
    This is really bothering me how Quicktime cannot play a movie file but these other programs can. Any solutions?
    Thanks

    I'm having a similar issue (movie file is white and plays audio but no pic). I have to export uncompressed 10-bit files for another company to compress as needed for various uses. When they got the files - they didn't play properly but I can play them on all my computers that have After Effects and FCP. Is there a work-around for this? I can't give them compressed files...what to do?

  • CNN video clip news play only sound but no video

    I downloaded the latest windows player and also Quick time Flip for windows. None seems to work. Only the sound of the streaming video came through but no picture. What's wrong with my Safari? Anybody got some input what I did went wrong. Apple computer is not very good with playing most web movies.

    I have a MacBook with Quick Time 7.1.1 and I'm having the same trouble with .avi files; the sound plays, but no video just white screen. Also, when I try to use QT a screen comes that says I need some QT components and directs me to the QT website. I have tried to download some of the components and still no luck.
    Is there anyone having this same problem, and if so does anyone know how to fix it.
    Thanks

  • My iPhoto library does not play the sound from videos by my digital camera

    Hello, although the videos from my digital camera used to play sound from the iPhoto library, now they don't. only videos playing sound are the ones from the iPhone.  The digital camera videos, do play sound on media player.  Please help.  Thank you

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If the problem persists log into another user account on your Mac, create another test library and test to see if the problem persists there.  Does it?
    Can you export a video from the digital camera to the Desktop as Kind = Original and play it with Quicktime Player?  Does the sound play then?

  • 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?

  • QuickTime plays mp4 audio, no video

    I was surprised a few weeks ago when I tried to open up an .mp4 video file I had opened several times in the past, and it suddenly wouldn't play. The picture is black, with the sound intact. When I import them into my iTunes movie library, they play just fine.
    Anyone else having this problem/know a fix?
    Update: When I tried changing the file extension to .m4v, the icon changed to an iTunes icon and it automatically opens in iTunes. Thoughts?

  • HT4363 Ipod touch 5th generation plays only audio of videos

    Hi,
    My new Ipod touch 5th generation that was released in October  2012 does not play video images in tv through Apple tv. It plays the audio of the video, but no images. How can I get it to play you tube videos with images? My Ipad has no problem connecting with the Apple tv and videos play without an issue. Help please!!
    Regards

    Agreed, but the dents are extremely minor, its not like the entire case is cracked and its coming off, or the screens broken. It's just a slight chip. And ispite it being so minor they have declined the replacement.

  • Stream only playing sound (no video) in latest Mac browsers?

    I built an app using SMP 1.6.274 inside Flex Hero targeting Flash 10.1.102.64.
    The  app ran fine in an OSX 10.6.7 running Firefox 3.4, but not Safari 5.05  or Chrome 11.0.696.65 on a Mac: the stream plays only sound and shows no  video.
    I installed the latest version of Flash Player  10.2, on the chance that there was a conflict with the older Flash  Player and the newer Chrome and Safari browsers, but that didn't solve  the issue. I then downloaded Firefox 4.0, and it also plays only the  sound.
    So I tried to install Flex 4.5.20967, the latest  build and target Flash Player 10.2, but ran into a number of problems  (mainly losing the connection to the spark.components.Application), so  rebuilt the application back around Flex Hero, but still have no video  on all three Mac browsers.
    I verified that everything is working fine from the FMS server by running older players.
    I am not sure what else to do at this point and am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks.

    With Flash Player 10.2 the new StageVideo API became available. Using this new API enables hardware accelerated video rendering, boosting video performance and reducing CPU usage.
    In the latest OSMF builds (starting with the OSMF 1.6 Sprint 1 build) support for the StageVideo is enabled by default.
    What you've experienced it's a known limitation of using OSMF or SMP in a Flex application, where the video is shown behind all the Flex components.
    To make your video visible, you have to set backgroundAlpha=”0″ for your mx:Application or other flex containers of your video.
    Alternatively, if you don't want the performance boost you get from using StageVideo, you can disable it and your app should work as expected.
    Here's how you do that: OSMFSettings.enableStageVideo = false;
    As for your latest post, Chrome has it own version of Flash Player bundled with the browser and it manages the updates by itself.
    I suspect you still have 10.2 installed in chrome. Use Chrome to visit this link to learn what version of Flash Player it's using: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    I hope this helps!
