Quicktime Pro and getting videos off the web

I am bound and determined to get videos off the web and use them to make my own videos and what not. I was wondering if quicktime pro is the best program to use for my project. I have downloaded other programs that don't work and I am sick of the hassle. If there is a sure thing program anyone knows about, I'd love to know. Otherwise, it would be great to hear about quicktime pro and it's adeptness or otherwise at successfully getting videos off the web.

Okay I figured out how to do that, but once it is downloaded, I am still having trouble. I don't know which application to use to open the file. Quicktime won't open it because it says it's not a movie file. I downloaded a standalone player and that couldn't open it either. What do I do?

  • So I have an iPad 2 for two years. Has never been dropped or in water or damaged in any way....now the volume is distorted and I get booted off the web all the time. Plus it shows and no service in top left corner. Any one have these issues?

    So I got is iPad as a gift and the same issues I had with my iPhone 4S is also happening with my iPad. Will Apple cover the problem as it lies within there updates or something. All I know I have taken perfect care of both products and volume is distorted. Can't listen to music, I get booted off the web all the time, I can't even chat with Apple icare it won't work and no service shows on top left corner. What is wrong with Apple products? I'm thinking it's time to switch! I've had to change my iPhone twice now......first time for mic not working and then camera shutter kept sticking. Same on my iPad........ I don't want to pay to get this fixed as it's not my fault this is happening...... It's software apparently?

    This really is starting to feel like a hardware issue than a software one.
    Especially if hearing noises when you connecting up your iPad for charging.
    Something happened to your iPad that has nothing to do with a software update.
    This is why I recommend that
    I can't help you any farther.
    It sounds as if you really need to take this iPad in for a repair.
    Since you are reluctant to do this, there is nothing more I can suggest to you.
    Good Luck on whatever you decide to do.

  • I'm trying to find a app that will download video off the web like realplayer or orbit

    Does anyone know if its a App that will download video's off the web like realplayer or Orbit?

    Never heard of Orbit.  As far as I know RealPlayer streams but doesn't download video (and audio).  So are you looking for another streaming app or one that actually downloads the video file?  And what kind of video?  For example, you can download flash video from sites like youtube with many flash video downloads.  There are many youtube flash downloaders.  Just search macupdate.com for them.  FWIW, a somewhat more general flash downloader is Jaksta.  Use the macupdate link I provide to Jaksta and look at near the bottom of the page for related apps.

  • I need to get videos off the iCloud.

    I'm in a domestic abuse situation, an I've been gathering video evidence of the abuse. I have it saved on the iCloud, but not on my iPhone anymore. I only have a Chromebook for a computer. I need to send these videos, so I need to get them off of the cloud. How do I do this?

    How did you save them to iCloud?  Are they saved as part of your iCloud backup or did you add them to a shared photo stream?

  • 13" MacBook Pro Keeps getting kicked off the Internet

    My 2009 13" Macbook Pro keeps disconnecting from the internet somehow. It happens every once in a while when I'm browsing through the internet.
    Whenever I try clicking to another page, all of a sudden Safari says it cannot connect to the server. At first I was begining to think that the issue was with Safari but I then found out it was also happening with Firefox. The only way that I could connect to the internet again is if I literally close my Macbook and wait a few moments before opening it again. For some reason my laptop is the only one in this house having the issue, my sister's 2011 13" Macbook Pro works just fine and doesn't have this issue. So I know it can't be a problem with the router. Does anyone here have suggestions???
    I am really annoyed with this issue!

    Check that your time and date are current in System Preference and being updated for your location.
    Your likely being dropped by your router as your DHCP lease is expiring because your date and time are off.

  • I need a plug in that down loads videos off the web sites you had a simple one with a little fish avitar Icon on right side of my toolbar I loved it I have windows 7 now and can't find it anymore

    the above question

    Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
    If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

  • Please help--iphone restore and getting pictures off the phone

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me. My friend's iphone 3GS (OS 3.1.2) has a message on the screen that says "Restore needed" and she can't get beyond this message to get to what is on her phone. A restore would wipe her phone of all data and the problem is that she has pictures on her iphone (not on the camera roll, but in the picture app) that she wants to keep and she erased the backup in itunes and doesnt have a backup of the photos in her iphoto on her mac. Is there anyway to download the photos she has on the iphone in the picture app before she does the restore? I told her I don't think there is, but any suggestions?

    Thanks for your answer. I don't have the iphone in front of me or her computer, just the info she told me, but I gather the problem is that she got all the pics on her iphone using her office computer and then deleted it all off her office computer once everything was on the iphone (she hasnt synced in a long time so I am guessing that is why she has 3.1.2 on there) so the iphone is the only backup of those pictures and now she wants to find a way to save them. Any possibilities or should I just tell her they are lost for good when she does the restore?

  • Replacing an imac and getting data off the backup drive with different OS

    Hello. I have a 2008 imac 27 inch. i backup with a toshiba portable drive. When my machine dies, i may get an android tablet or a windows laptop. If i use a different OS, will i be able to get the data off my imac's backup drive? thanks.

    Well, Pictures & photos should be easy enough, Documents depends what kind exactly, calendar I'm not sure what might work.
    Other things like Bookmarks will be more work, on Address Book you need to Select All & Export a vCard for them all.

  • Saving Quicktime videos from the web?

    I downloaded quicktime pro because I wanted to save other quicktime videos off the web. But it turns out I can only save one or two.
    Is there a way to save the other videos?

    Exactly what is happening when you are trying to save the other videos? Need details.
    Please post the link/URL of the video website for others to check for you.
    If you are trying to download streaming videos, make sure QT streaming settings are enabled.

  • Sorenson Squeeze V Quicktime Pro and FCE

    I want to buy a video compression program to work along side FCE. Has anyone worked with either, and would they recommend either.
    I want to use them for compressing and uploading video to the web - obviously quality is the most important factor here, and filesize as well i guess.
    thanks

    I actually went to the Apple store today to look at them. That tipped me over to the low end MacBook Pro, but I cannot "rent or borrow" a camera for what I am doing (multiple uses at odd times) so I'm spending LOTS of money on that piece of equipment. Hence the reasonably priced Pro with a couple of upgrades will do the trick, I think. Thanks for your response:)

  • I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have.  Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording?  If so, how?  Step by step needed.  Thank you for your time.

    Did you remove Quicktime X?
    On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
    You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
    I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

  • I am getting a firefox.exe-Application error. The instruction at 0x77029d13 referenced memory at 0x77ebe57c. The memory could not be read. Click on OK to terminate. Then it boots me off the web?

    I use Wildblue.net for internet server. This morning I could get my e-mail but when I went to the web, the message above came up. The only way to get if off the screen was to press OK. That brought me back to my desktop. I deleted Firefox and reinstalled it, but received the same message. I don't get it all the time, but for the better part of the day, I have been trying to operate around this message.Thanks for you help.
