QuickTime Pro won't play video clip

I downloaded a video that plays fine in windows media player, but will not play in QuickTime Pro 7.1.3. It only plays a black screen with no sound.

The Apple Pro Res codec is installed along with Final Cut Studio 2.
The FCS 2 license allows you to:
"install on one desktop and one laptop Apple computer that you own. You may not use the software on both at the same time".
You don't even need to do that anymore. Apple recently released a standalone ProRes decoder for Mac and PC:

Just install this and you should be good to go.

  • Quicktime Pro won't play my .avi videos

    I got a bunch of .avi videos, they are encoded using xvid codec. They play fine in media player but don't play at all in Quicktime. What codecs do I need for Quicktime Pro 7?

    You need a codec that plays the compression a particular avi is encoded in. You can try these two sites for codecs that play most recent avi files

  • Quicktime player does not play video clip on desktop but plays in iPhoto

    QuickTime player opens the video clip but the screen remains blank and no sound either. What am I doing wrong? It plays perfectly well in iPhoto.

    Do they not play in iTunes?
    They should play in VLC:

  • Quicktime Pro won't play FCPro exported Qtime mov

    I exported mov files from Final Cut. But Quicktime won't play them.
    Have installed some 3rd party Codecs but no joy.
    What do you think is the problem?

    I exported mov files from Final Cut. But Quicktime won't play them.
    What audio and video compression formats did you use? Are you trying to play them back on the same computer or a different one?

  • Journal won't play video clip in iCloud

    I created a journal on my iPod Touch (4G) with pictures and a video clip and then published my journal to iCloud. My question is why I get the error message "An error occured while playing this video" when I view my journal using Safari on the iCloud Journal site? The pictures can be viewed just fine but no the video clip?

    Wow, that was easy. Thanks a lot for that help!!! I was worried it was something serious, hah hah.
    I have no clue how that got turned off, but now I know in case it happens again.

  • Quicktime Pro Won't Record Video or Audio

    I'm trying to record a movie with Quicktime Pro 7.5 on my MacBook, using the built in iSight. I can see myself on the screen live, but when I press the red record button, I just instantly get this message.
    Recording failed to record a movie.
    Ditto for audio.
    I quit, restarted the computer, to no avail. What's up?

    When I had this problem awhile back, it was because I had set QuickTime Player to open with Rosetta previously when troubleshooting a problem. That might be something you want to check as well.
    Also, try creating a new user to see if you can capture under that user. (That's how I successfully determined what my problem was)

  • Quicktime plugin won't play videos in firefox

    Every time I go to a page the has a quicktime video on it, I can't get the video to play. It loads up with the quicktime logo and a question mark superimposed on top. I have quicktime installed and have gone into the settings, telling it to play god and everything. Still, I can't get the videos to play.

    Your "direct link" code doesn't give any instructions to any browser plug-in. Without instructions each different page visitor will get different behavior. Some visitors settings would download the file and others would play the file using a different browser plug-in (Real Player or WMP for example).

  • Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

    I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

    I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:

    I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

  • Is there a way to play video clips that use adobe flash and if not when are you going to resolve your problem with them ? I won't buy another apple product until you do and I Know I,m not the online.

    Use the search feature and type in Flash and there are like thousands of posts on this.
    You seem to think you are addressing Apple with your post.  This is a user forum and we are all users just like you.

  • Quicktime Player Pro won't play any movies?

    Ever since I restored my computer about a month ago, my Quicktime Player won't play any video formats correctly. .avi files don't play anymore, and mp4 files only play sound with the screen black. Then when I try to close the application, I get the pinwheel for a long time, thus making me force quit every time. How can I fix this so it can play movies correctly?
    (I'd also like to know how to get it to play .mka format movies as well)

    Courtney,
    There are a lot of possible CODECS used with .AVI file, not all of which are available for the QuickTime player.
    If you just want to play the AVI files use the free VLC media player found at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

  • Quicktime Pro won't recognize my video camera.

    The video camera is attached to the computer via Firewire. I checked and the computer recognizes that the camera is attached by Firewire.
    I'm trying to transfer already-shot video from the video camera into Quictime Pro, but when I turn on the camera and play the video and click the NEW MOVIE RECORDING link in Quictime - I get a message "NO RECORDING DEVICE FOUND".
    Does anyone know what I have to do to get Quicktime Pro to recognize the video camera?
    Thanks

    When I import the video into iMovie, iMovie squashes the widescreen video into a rectangle with the dimensions of a TV screen, and there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it back into a distortion-free widescreen image.
    I would upgrade iMovie (from 3.03), but Apple doesn't seem to sell the upgrade anymore (not that will work in OS X 10.3.9.)
    I have Quicktime Pro and iMovie and I can't get the video out of my camcorder and into my computer.

  • My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start

    My quicktime player won't play any videos on my Mac X os. The video will start on quicktime then automatically start. I installed DiV X today and all this happened is there anyway to fix this?? I went through everything dragging the icon to the trash and deleting it from safari extentions.

    Download and install
    Perian from  http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page  http://perian.org/#support   in case you need to delete older codecs.  In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from  http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac  Note that Perian will be discontinued after the release of Mountain Lion:  http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57434082-263/perian-plug-in-for-quicktime-t o-be-discontinued/?tag=txt;title

  • MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files.

    Since "upgrading" to Lion my MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files, all I get is a black screen and the audio.  It's so frustrating!!    
    I've read many other posts all along the same lines and wherever possible I've tried to follow the advice which has been given but nothing works.    I've updated all the drivers I can and I've even reinstalled Lion, nothing makes a difference.   
    I'm not really looking for any more advice, all I want is someone from Apple to read these posts, realise there is problem and get working on a fix or update.   
    I had no problems when running Snow Leopard and it would seem, looking at everyone else's problems, that the common issue is Lion.   Seriously, this is one area where Lion is a backwards step.   It should just work (like most things from Apple), but it doesn't.
    Personally I believe there is a problem with Lion but from what I've found out from speaking to friends with other Apple kit, this might be a random issue only affecting some people as some have said they've had no problems while others have had the same issues as me.    One guy reinstalled Lion and it resolved the issue for him, I've not been as lucky.  
    As I say, I'm not really looking for more advice, simply some sort of update from Apple to fix it.   PLEASE!!!

    This is a peer-to-peer user forum. Perhaps you would see more action if you and others would file a formal "Bug" report with Apple QuickTime technical people rather than repeatedly reporting a possible problematic problem which may or may not affect others on a random basis. QUICKTIME PRODUCT FEEDBACK
    Since you aren't seeking further advice here is what I have observed. Not being a regular WMV file user, I had to create my own sample file to test—a WMV 9 file containing WMV3 compressed video and WMA2 compressed audio. Since I normally use QT 7 as my primary media player, I also stored the WMV data in its partially decompressed form in an MOV file container to avoid pre-playback delays in "classic" player routines and also provide a secondary playback test of MOV wrapped content. These files play as follows using the Flip4Mac component/player support and uncoded URL uploads:
    QT 7.6.6 "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    QT 7.6.6 "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    QT X.1 "Open File" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file plays video without audio.
    QT X.1 "Open Location" - WMV file appears to open but plays with "black" screen and no audio. MOV file plays video without audio.
    VLC "Open File" - WMV plays correctly. MOV file doesn't open,
    VLC "Open URL" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file appears to open but nothing plays.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    GarageBand - WMV file will not import but MOV file does.
    iTunes - WMV file will not import. MOV file container is accepted but as soon as iTuness sees the compression formats, it aborts import.
    Safari - WMV file URL auto-downloads and playes in the QT X.1 Player. The MOV file URL opens and plays in Safari.
    As you can see from these results the files do play but are subject to many different constrints based on old/new video technology support, independent QT subsets and/or container trapping constraints. In short, individual user results will depend on presence/absence of component support, actual compression formats, file container, application being used, and how the application is being used. Unfortunately, most users here can't or won't provide the prerequisite information or a sample file for independent examination. This makes it next to impossible to give advice in these matters or categorize the specific nature of the problem.
