Quicktime (Pro) v. 2.1.7 not retaining Mime Setting "miscellaneous"

Another 2.1.7 issue, evidently: when I open Quicktime Preferences>Advanced>Mime Settings and select "Miscellaneous" ... then hit OK and close the Preferences window --- and then (either closing QT altogether or not) when I go IMMEDIATELY right back to the QT Preferences window, the Mime Setting for Miscellaneous is NOT set. Ditto for images. Audio seems ok.
I have NEVER had so much trouble with an Apple product as this version of Quicktime. Please give us some hope that the biggest problem - freezing streamed video after a couple of minutes of playing, which is heavily documented in this forum - is being actively, agressively, addressed and will be fixed soon! Thanks.
iMac and MacBook Pro - both Intel Mac OS X (10.4) Flip4Mac 2.1.70 part of configuration ...

What setting in the Miscellaneous do you want on? The one for flash should be off. As for the other settings not holding, they don't. There a couple of these setting that don't take....
As for videos streams freezing...never had that problem.

QuickTime Pro 7.1 sound edits not saving

In QuickTime Pro 7.1 when I adjust the volume level in the movie Properties dialog, then save the file, the edits are not saved with the file when I reopen it and play it. The volume level reverts back to the way it was before.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
TIA

If you're the adventurous type and the missing functionality of QT 7 is a real burden then you can do the following:
1. download QT 6.5.1 from here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime651.html
do NOT install it.
2. download Pacifist here:
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Use Pacifist to open the "QuickTime651.pkg"
(What we do next is extract only the QuickTime 6.5.1 Player from the package.)
From the "Application" folder in the open Pacifist window, choose "QuickTime Player.app"
In the Pacifist icon menu choose "Extract To..." and choose your Desktop.
* Important: Rename the "QuickTime Player" on your Desktop to "QuickTime Player 6.5.1"
Put it into your Applications folder and use as you have in the past.
Any changes you make to the video or sound can now be saved as before if you use this player to open your movies.
The QuickTime 7 player will still function as it did before.

.mov files work on my Quicktime Pro 7.1.5 but not on others

I have .mov videos on my website that are working fine when I look at them in Firefox or IE but only show an audio track for others on older Macs and Windows machines with no video. I am using Quicktime Pro 7.1.5 for Windows, and some of those movies were created using this version but others are older and were working fine before. Any ideas?

Works just fine for me (Tiger and Safari).
PC viewers would only need QuickTime 6 (or higher) to view.
Your file uses MPEG-4 Video codec and AAC audio. The hint tracks are not needed as any .Mac page merely downloads.
http://homepage.mac.com/sammscript/.Movies/Miami%20Impeachment%20Protest%201.mov
Copy (do not click) the URL above and use QuickTime Player's Open URL menu to paste.
BTW, MPEG Streamclip (free) could crop out the black and some html "tricks" could display the same file at twice the dimensions. That would require "custom" page code not offered by .Mac but very easy to do.

Quicktime pro 7.1.3 does not detect webcam

I have an IBM T41 laptop with a logitech notebook webcam. my newly installed quicktime pro 7 lets me start a new audio recording session, but not a video one. My iMac lets me record a video as well. Why can quicktime not see the logitech cam on the IBM? confused.
thx

"New Video Recording" is a Mac only feature of the QuickTime Player Pro upgrade.

HT1926 After I installed Quicktime Pro, on Windows Vista am not able to open from desktop.

After downloading Quicktime Pro I can't open it from Quicktime at all.

There isn't a QuickTime Pro download.
Only the free QuickTime Player can be downloaded. You can then enable the Pro features after you purchase the registration.

Quicktime Pro 7.7.5 save not working on win 7

Good afternoon, i have just purchased QT PRO to correct the H644 issue as reported here: http://www.videocopilot.net/blog/2008/06/fix-quicktime-gamma-shift/
The problem is that whenever I hit SAVE on QT PRO, no file is saved. I have tried to change folders, and to uninstall QT and re-install it as administrator with no success. SAVE and SAVE AS are not working if I choose "Save as independent movie".
I am on Win 7.
Thank you for any kind reply friends!

As you can see additionally the file dimension looks 27Kb with both the possible chances, while original file is about 30Mb - any help? Thank you !

Samsung PS50C6900 not retaining network setting af...

Equipment:
samsung PS50C6900 with samsung WIS09ABGN wireless LAN adapter
bt home hub 3
Problem:
Can connect TV to home hub OK, using wifi LAN adapter. Accepts WPA key, gets IP etc and connects.
When TV is switched off (standby) and back on, it forgets the WPA and need to reconnect and enter WPA again.
Facts:
1. This problem does not happen with any other device connected to the home hub 3
2. This problem does not occur when the same TV is connected to 2 other (non BT) routers.
Any ideas what may be causing this, it's doing my head in.

Adam,
I am having the same data connectivity issues with my Stratosphere. I purchased it in October, and it has been spotty for two months. Verizon sent me a replacement about a week and a half ago. It seemed to be doing a little better, but I am now without connectivity again today (for at least 4 or 5 hours now). I've checked every setting, rebooted, took out the sim card, everything. Needless to say, I'm quite disappointed with the technology. I am not in a 4G area, so I keep it on CDMA mode. Will Verizon just simply continue swapping out the phone for the same model, or will I have the opportunity to swap it for another model? I'm only three months into my renewed contract.
Thanks,!

Completely uninstall Quicktime Pro 7 for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit

I am trying to uninstall my Quicktime Pro 7 registration, and to not ever see it again in control panel (classic view).
Unfortunately, there is a visible registrationcode shown for Quicktime Pro 7(somehow, it simply detected that I had Final Cut Pro installed at one point and automatically registered).
I cannot figure out how delete Quicktime Pro, via the control panel and registry, and make it go away. Please advise.

thanks ... I see now from your other post that you're probably getting either a "missing QuickTime.msi" message or being told that a "newer version of QuickTime" is installed when you try to go ahead and uninstall QuickTime after you're told about the Key?
Unfortunately, these sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Quicktime Pro and Indeo Codec 5?

I have a Casio Exilim camera and my .avi movie files do not play on QuickTime 7 on my Mac OS X. I have sound but no video output. I tried downloading a variety of players/codecs and converting the files to other video file types (.mov, mpeg) but the files ended up only playing successfully on the VLC media player. Unfortunately, I'm still unable to upload my movie files to iMovie - no video, only sound -(which is frustrating because one of my main reasons for getting a mac was for its video editing capabilities). I read that the codec that supports Casio .avi files is an old one called Indeo 5. I also read that Quicktime Pro supports this codec but not for Mac OS X.
Can anyone confirm whether or not Quicktime Pro supports Indeo 5 on a Mac OS X before I drop $30 for it?

I read that the codec that supports Casio .avi files is an old one called Indeo 5. I also read that Quicktime Pro supports this codec but not for Mac OS X.I don't see it listed on the Official Support Page for QT Pro. Some Indeos may been ported for use with OS 9, but I don't believe any were for OS X.

Can't find my registration key for quicktime pro?

I have to go through a lot of searching in finding it under 2 accounts. It's just a lot easier getting it sent to me again rather trying to find it here where it should be easy to find, but not. It sure is not under my account history? Been like 5 or 6 years when I bought Quicktime Pro. But still should not make a difference in why it's not under account history. Can you please send me the registration code so I can have it registered on a new pc? Thanks.

This is a user to user forum: you aren't talking to Apple here and no-one on here can help you. I assume you've checked your back emails?
Apple's word on the subject says:
You can retrieve purchased registration keys with these steps:
Visit the Apple Online Store.
Click "Account" in the upper-right corner.
On the "Your Account" page, click "View Order History".
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Additional Information
You can only retrieve a lost QuickTime Pro key if you purchased it through the Web. In most cases, the key will be identical to the key you lost.
If you purchased your QuickTime Pro upgrade from another source, the key is not available for retrieval and you must purchase another key from The Apple Store.
If you have already tried this and cannot find it, you can only contact the Store and ask them.

Quicktime Pro 7.3 and error code -8961

I'm an absolute newbie to using Quicktime but I went to the apple site last night and after reading a lot of very bad reviews decided to purchase Quicktime Pro 7.3 anyway. I used it successfully to take an mp3 audio file (not from itunes) and transfer it to 16bit 48k which was one of the reasons I purchased the software. It works great. Ironically after the download of Quicktime pro my itunes account would not connect to the itunes store. I don't know if it had anything to do with the download but I searched on other forums and literally found hundreds of users having the same problem. I upgrade itunes to 7.5.0.20 and now everything seems to be working fine.
I do video editing so I want to be able to take an avi file and convert it so I can trasfer it to my ipod (classic 80gb). The avi file is clean and works well on pc 1 (pc 1 doesn't have quicktime on it). I imported the file into pc 2 (pc 2 has Quicktime pro on it). When I went to export the first time nothing happend, it wouldn't work. The second time it said something to the effect that I was missing components or whatever and displayed error code -8961. I figured I needed new or different codec(s). I'm familiar with what codecs are but not how to install them or which ones I need or even where to get them. So I took a chance and downloaded what I believe were various codecs that were listed on a linked page (that apple suggested). Interestingly, after downloading the codecs (I read the descriptions and the two I downloaded seemed like the only possibilities) I tried to play the avi clip again in quicktime pro and this time it played but only the audio portion no video. Any ideas what the problem is and if it can be fixed? I'm sure error code -8961 is at least part of the problem. Thank you. David

You will not lose your key. You only need to re-purchase when upgrading. You are merely updating which is FREE!
On the computer w/no sound, try the following:
Repair permissions & restart.

Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
Quit out of the GarageBand app.

Quicktime Pro: movie from stills, movie size

Hello all,
I am planning to buy QT Pro, and have 2 questions about it:
1. I want to convert my DVDs (music concerts) to QT so that I can organize them in iTunes and watch without having DVDs. What will be the size of a QT file converted from a 2 hr concert, with acceptable quality?
2. I am doing some modeling (finite element) and am not sure if the PC software can make animations. I was thinking of taking the stills from the results and make a movie in Quicktime, for my Keynote presentation. Can Quicktime make movie from stills? . I know it can do slideshow but this would be like a slideshow changing images every .25 second or even faster. Do you have any other suggestions in this regard?
Thanks in advance!
Alpesh

You'll need some third party software for your MPEG-2 (DVD format). I use HandBrake (free). It allows you to set movie dimensions and compression to a "fixed" (you control) file size.
QuickTime Pro can import image sequences. You can set the frame rate at import from 60 frames a second up to ten seconds per frame.
You can even add audio or export these image sequence movies to DV Stream for use in iMovie or iDVD.

Quicktime Pro captioning for iPhone/iTouch

Okay bear with me here, I am a teacher for the deaf/hoh. My students have a iPhone for their classroom use and I want to enable closed captioning on their iPhone. We are using a webcast like iTunes U. Here is the dilemma.
I have a Quicktime pro and was wondering how do I create captioning to ensure captioning will show up on the iPhone. I understand that most iPod/iPhone device requires SCC format so that captioning will show up.
I am already using MovCaptioner (http://synchrimedia.com/) and the developer gave me an advanced copy that has SCC enable. I already installed a closedcaptionimporter.componment for Quicktime pro. Mostly, it has not been successful because Quicktime reads a binary numbers instead of text.
Question,
Is there a way around without using SCC so that captioning will show up on the iPhone/iPod?
Why the didn't Apple have SCC codec if iPhone/iPod would have closed captioning?
Please help, I do not understand why of all things considered. I been a loyal Apple user for years and I love the ease of using Apple. However, working with Quicktime and ensuring captioning will show up on the iPhone/iPod is such a difficult thing.
The deaf/hoh kids needs the educational benefit and they are behind in their hearing peers. Hope you understand my dilemma and the question I am asking.
Thanks!

Try Muxo. SRT is a much easier format to deal with. I can't even import scc with QT Pro! I wasted time reading articles about SCC and copying tracks with QT Pro... This makes adding srt tracks to m4v's very easy:

QuickTime Pro - preparing movie to go on .Mac so it can be downloaded to PC

I have created a movie using different applications (i.e. iPhoto; GarageBand; iMovie; Quicktime Pro, etc.). I have it posted on my website using iWeb, and I am able to download the movie to my desktop where I can resize it to fill the screen. I would like others to be able to do this on their computers.
When I tried it out on my PC, the triangle on the lower right side of the QuickTime movie wouldn't even open. I have QuickTime Pro installed on both computers. Is there a way to save QuickTime movies to .Mac websites so that others can download them to their desktop no matter what kind of computer they have?

Thanks for the reply.
I will take your answer step by step to make sure I understand. You said:
1. "Saving" a QuickTime movie using the controller is a feature of the Pro upgrade so only Pro owners can save your iWeb files using the controller menus.
My response:
My original question mentioned that on my PC I also have QuickTime Pro and yet I'm not able to activate the controller menu (I'm guessing the downward pointing triangle at the bottom right is called the controller menu - if I'm wrong please let me know). I have also told my friends who want to be able to download the movie, that they have to have QuickTime Pro.
You also stated:
2. Make sure your page layout in iWeb doesn't have some page element "covering" the controller part of the window.
My response:
You are right about that. I've discovered that problem several times. It isn't an issue here, however. I also have tried several different ways to save the movie. First just using a blank page with nothing but the movie on it. Next, using the movie page with nothing but the movie on it. Also using both the .mov format (original QuickTime self-contained movie format), and the .m4v format. It still can't be downloaded to the desktop on my PC.
You added:
3. To allow others to keep a copy of your file merely requires you give them the direct URL to the file. They can then use any Web browser to keep a copy.
You can add this to your iWeb page as a "text based" link.
I'm not sure I understand this last piece of advice. I have the movie on a website I created through .Mac and iWeb. My friends are able to view the movie on my website. Since the width of the movie is determined by the way iWeb is set up, you can only view the movie ON the website in the width you use when you save it to iWeb. I have resized it as large as possible on the page on my website. When you are able to download a movie from a website to the desktop, however, you can resize it or "Present the movie" so it fills up the screen. You also can open it in iTunes and then convert it to play on an iPod if you wish. That is what I would like others to be able to do so long as they have QuickTime Pro.
I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "They can use any web browser to keep a copy." How does that allow you to download the movie to the desktop?
Thanks again for responding. If you have any thoughts to add, please send them.

Quicktime Pro 7 won't play .flv files

For some reason, after I export .MOV files as .FLV file for use on a website, Quicktime Pro 7.6.4 will not play the file once it's been exported.
I get an error saying "This is not a movie file". Quicktime used to play these files just fine on my other computer, and I cannot figure out why. Any suggestions?

Quicktime used to play these files just fine on my other computer, and I cannot figure out why.
QT no longer supports Flash/FLV natively. Do you have the same QT components installed on both computers? (E.g., is the Perian component package installed on both?)
