QuickTime Pro won't recognise .qtch (cache) files

I've been viewing QuickTime clips on the Internet, and have set my preferences to both view the clips through my Safari browser, and to save them (when possible) to cache. It has been doing this.
The QuickTime cache is in my User Library, and all the files there (including several I viewed today) seem to be there, in the .qtch format. When attempting to open them from the QuickTime player, I received the message "The movie could not be opened. This is not a movie file."
I'm using a registered version of QuickTime Pro 7.6.4 (on my non-Intel Powerbook for System 10.4.11).
Anyone know the workaround or solution?

Years ago one could poke around in the browser cache and pull out files. Not anymore.
You can open the files via the QuickTime Player File menu / Open Recent (up to 50 items) and save them using the Pro upgrade.

  • Quicktime Pro won't open an MPEG movie file with the Quicktime icon

    What am I missing? Not getting? I have several MPEG movie files that proudly sport the Quicktime icon, but the Quicktime app tells me they're not movie files.
    If Quicktime won't open them, is there conversion software I can use?
    So much for productivity.

    Didn't even consider it. I thought that because the file displayed the Quicktime icon and because I have Quicktime Pro, that Quicktime would play the file.
    Unfortunately, this is a common misconception. However, now that you understand the problem, you can work on a solution. Basically, if by MPEG your are referring to common MPEG-2/MP2 content 'multiplexed" to an MPEG container, these can be played in the QT Player (or Front Row or iTunes) if you install the QT MPEG-2 Playback component ($19.99). However, be advised that this is a video only component, so it does not make "muxed" AC3 MPEG-2 files playback compatible with the QT player. Luckily, if you do decide to install this component, the free MPEG Streamclip application will allow you to play or convert such files to any QT compatible audio and video format for which you system is configured. Or, if all you want to do is play MPEG-2 video files without investing in the QT component, then you can view them with VLC but may have trouble converting them to a QT compatible format. HandBrake will also convert them without investing in the MPEG-2 component, but greatly limits your conversion possibilities. I personally would recommend buying the component as Neil recommended since it offers the greatest flexibility for playing without conversion, as well as, the most conversion options for all normal MPEP-2 Program and Transport Stream files you are likely to encounter using QT 7 Pro and/or MPEG Streamclip depending on the specific source content what you want to do with the final files.

  • QuickTime Pro won't let me save a file from a website

    I have QuickTime Pro 7.0 Normally I can right click a link in Mail and select, "Download linked file" and it will allow me to save an MP3. Not this time. Other times, once actually on a website, I can click on the button on the web based version of QuickTime and save a local copy. However, I can't do that on this website:
    http://survive2thrive.gsradio.net:8080/120309.mp3
    Does anyone know why?
    Thanks!

    Copy the URL.
    In Safari open the download window (Cmd-Opt-L)
    Paste.
    OR
    Paste the URL in the Addressfield
    Option-Return and the file will download.
    Know thy Mac.

  • Registration for Quicktime Pro won't open

    New mac and installed QuickTime 7.6.6 (rather than 10) and Preferences or Registration simply won't open.  Trying to register QuickTime Pro.  Any suggestions?

  • Windows Quicktime Pro problems - no video screens [under "file"]

    I have downloaded and installed Quicktime Pro and keyed in correct registration codes. [Quicktime 7 Pro is displayed] When in Apple Quicktime Pro- I am unable to see any kind of video screen data under "file" - Audio info is there [New audio recording]- but no video screens of any kind. I thought that maybe Quicktime Pro could not recognize my web camera [Panasonic]
    I have tried: switching firewire cards[3 others] and switched around quicktime preferences ie - Video to Safe mode/Direct X - still no change.
    When I connect camera, Digital Video device on computer acknowledges that there is a camera and gives me 4-5 software choices ie - Adobe, Windows Media Player but Quicktime Pro is not one of them.
    Help ! - Any suggestions would be appreciated.

  • QuickTime Pro won't load to Snow Leopard

    I own QuickTime Pro. By virtue of owning Final Cut Studio.
    But it doesn't work right on my newly Snow Leopard-ized 8 core tower.
    I download QT 7 from the QTP page, but it won't install because:
    "QuickTime can't be installed on this disk. This version of
    QuickTime 7 can't be installed on this disk because
    QuickTime X is already present. Please use Software
    Update to install the appropriate version of QuickTime
    for your Mac."
    %$#@!!
    The "QuickTime Player 7" menu item isn't the same as on other Macs. It doesn't show a "QuickTime Preferences" item, only a "Preferences" item, so many things can't be done with it.
    Registration shows three blank lines but "Apple Pro Apps User" in small type at the bottom.
    Even though it announces itself as QuickTime Player 7, it does most things that QuickTime Pro has always done, but I can't even update it with a fresh install, it seems.
    I don't care at all for QuickTime X, but it seems intent on blocking my way.
    How to get around it?

    That version fails to show the "QuickTime Preferences" item in the drop down menu that includes "Preferences," which was my reason behind trying to update it.
    Yes, it was replaced by the single registration option which no longer accesses the system preferences window.
    Its QTPro features seem to work, but I can't, for instance, select Kiosk mode through any of the current menu items... Am I stuck until Apple brings out a non-interim version? They've had a year...
    Haven't tried using it lately, but the "Kiosk" option is still available as a QTL file option if you can use a QTL file for whatever you want to do.

  • Macbook Pro won't let me move files to HD without authentication. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them.

    My 2013 Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.5 won't let me move files to the HD without authentication. So I have to keep putting my password in. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them. This just suddenly happened last night. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks

    See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US - I doubt that it will solve your problem, though. You may want to post on the iPhoto forum - that's where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.

    Drat ... so much for subtlety ...
    Right, let's scrape all the QuickTime files out and reinstall from scratch.
    First, let's download and save a "standalone" QuickTime installer to your hard drive (don't run the install on line, and don't start the install just yet). Get the version that doesn't mention iTunes:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
    Next, we'll make sure we've got your *Pro Key* secured. (Uninstalling QuickTime will remove the Pro Key, and we'll have to reenter it in the Register Tab after reinstalling QuickTime.)
    Head into your QuickTime, preferences and take a note of precisely how the Key *and the name in the "Registered to" field* appear. (I've been known to take and print out a screenshot of the Register tab, in order to be quite sure of the precise details of both those things.) Don't tell us what your Key is.
    Now, head into your "Uninstall a program" and uninstall QuickTime.
    After the uninstall completes, we'll clean up any leftover QuickTime program files on the PC. How we do that will depend on whether you've got a 32-bit or 64-bit version of 7.
    *With a 32-bit 7*
    (1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files folder.
    (3) Right-click the QuickTime folder (if it still exists there) and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\system32 folder (if they still exist there). Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (6) Restart your computer.
    *With a 64-bit 7*
    1) Open Local Disk (C:) in Computer or whichever disk programs are installed on.
    (2) Open the Program Files (x86) folder.
    (3) Right-click the QuickTime folder (if it still exists there) and select Delete and choose Yes when asked to confirm the deletion.
    (4) Delete the QuickTime and QuicktimeVR files located in the C:\Windows\sysWOW64 folder (if they still exist there). Click Continue if Windows needs confirmation or permission to continue.
    (5) Right-click on the Recycle Bin and on the shortcut menu, click Empty Recycle Bin.
    (6) Restart your computer.
    After the PC restarts, don't open any applications. Disconnect from the internet and/or your network, and switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
    Reinstall QuickTime by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe you downloaded earlier.
    Reenable all security software prior to prior to reconnecting to your network and/or the internet.
    Now launch QuickTime. Go into your QuickTime preferences, and reenter your name and Key *precisely as they were prior to the uninstall.* Click apply. You should see "QuickTime 7 Pro" appear in the Tab.
    ... now let's try giving the export another shot. Any better luck this time?

  • Quicktime Pro won't display JPG or create image sequence

    I'm having a problem with QT Pro in that some of my jpg files will open in QT as blank white. When I resize the window, the window blinks with a scrambled image. Same thing happens when I try to create an image sequence.
    This doesn't happen on all my jpg files, maybe about half of them. Also, the same files that don't open properly in QT Pro on my Mac Pro open just fine in QT Pro on another computer. These files also open fine in Preview, Lightroom & Photoshop - it's just QT that's having problems.
    I've deleted and reinstalled QT with no luck. Any ideas what the problem could be? Help is greatly appreciated...

    Try the following:
    System Preferences>Quicktime>Advanced
    Click on the MIME Settings button.
    In the next window that opens up make sure that click on the triangle next to Images - Still image files.
    Make all items are enabled (checked) except for PDF Image.
    Click the OK button.
    Restart your computer.
    ==============
    Take a look in your Home/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder - if you see any QT plugins or webplugins file there, remove them to the desktop or trash.
    Restart your computer.
    ===============
    Are you trying to view JPG files from a browser or from your HD? Asking because most browsers have a +"file helper"+ preference. For Firefox, it's under the Applications Preferences. There, you can select which type of files you can map to the QT browser plug-in.

  • A/V tweaks made in quicktime pro won't appear when imported to imovie

    I have a file I pulled from the internet, tweaked the sound and color in Quicktime Pro and saved the file (tried both .mov and mp4) but when I try to import file into imovie or export file from Quicktime to imovie the movie file does not have the adjustments I made in Quicktime.
    The file will play the same way as the original I pulled from internet.
    Notes:
    Quicktime will open and play the new file with tweaks as saved.
    I have burned the tweaked Quicktime file to a disk, given it to some to try in their computer and the file plays without the tweaks.
    I would really appreciate any help you may have!
    Thanks!

    The A/V "tweaks" are local to the QT player -- not embedded in the movie file. If you plan to edit in iMovie, make your adjustments in iMovie. If simply converting the content from one compression format to another, use an application like MPEG Streamclip (free) to make such adjustments.

  • 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

    Why won't this puppy install?

    There is no such thing as a QuickTime pro download.
