Quicktime that works on a PC

hi,
I'm exporting minidv NTSC footage using FILE>EXPORT>QUICKTIME MOVIE
The result is a "Final Cut Pro Movie File". This will open using quicktime player on my mac. I want to show the project on a PC though. The PC won't open the Final Cut Pro Movie File. I tried opening the FCP Movie File on my mac quicktime player and exporting it as a quicktime file. This second generation file can be opened by PC quicktime player, but even with the export setting set to the best, there is still huge degradation in the image. Is there any way to export a PC readable file from a FCP mac project (either in FCP itself or some other programme)? Thanks for any help!
Tim

For a PC to look at, or work with?
Look at, export as a Quicktime Conversion and choose Sorenson 3 or MPEG-4.

QuickTime movies that worked in 10.7 don't play in 10.8

I have several movies and clips, YouTube videos, etc. that worked just fine under Lion (10.7) but don't run at all under Mountain Lion (10.8). Some will open but not do anything when I click play. Others don't even open. What's up with this and how do I fix it short of dumping 10.8 and starting over with 10.7?

I don't think that I had any additional codecs installed before. It was pretty straight forward QuickTime.
I did have "Flip4Mac" installed to play WMV files through QuickTime under Lion and it worked fine, when I updated to Mountain Lion I also updated Flip4Mac to the newest vesion which says it runs under Mountain Lion.
The suggestion that I install VLC player does play the movies but each one has to be opened individually in VLC which is a bit of a pain.
I reinstalled QT 10.2 (603) and the problem remains. QT will open MOV files, but won't play them no matter how many times I click on the play button or open/re-open the file. So far any new movie file I downlad will play, it's just anything downloaded uner previous versions of OS-X that won't work. It's really weird.

Including Sound In A Rollover that works on all browsers

I am working on a website for my company that we wanted to have a musical logo play when you rollover the logo on the page. I added a behavior to a hotspot link that uses "onMouseOver" to playsound. This works great in the safari browser. However, in internet explorer, when you rollover the logo, another page opens up and quicktime plays the mp3 we created. I also opened firefox and the mp3 does not play at all.
Is there anything I can do to allow the rollover to play the mp3 in any browser? Please advise.
Here is my page that works in Safari:
http://www.mymusicalprodigy.com/index.html#

I'm afraid you'll never get this to work for everyone. It requires the end user's browser to have JavaScript enabled and the latest media player plug-ins installed. To many ifs.
Sound and other special effects are mostly found on Flash Sites.

Making a DVD that works with surroung Sound

I am trying to make a DVD that works on surround a sound system (DTS system) There are 2 front speakers, 2 rear, and a sub woofer. I imported several film clips into iMovie (I believe what I did is called "down mixing") then created a Quicktime file that I imported into DVD Studio Pro. I created the disc, but the audio did not sound good. So I have been fooling around with Compressor to try to turn the audio into the correct format, and I still have not found the right combination to get the audio to sound correct. What can I do to get the disc sounding clear when I play it on the DTS system. I am assuming that there are certain steps I must make in both Compressor AND DVD Studio Pro (version 3) - I would be very appreciatvie to the person who can give me the magic formula to get everything sounding right. Thanks!

The answers posted don't fully address your question, since they are talking about AC-3, not DTS which is what you indicate you want.
First, you can use iMovie to edit the visuals, but you won't be able to use it (easily) to create the 5+1 tracks you'll need for surround encoding.
This is more a job for an actual multi-channel mixer, like BIAS Deck....
http://bias-inc.com/products/deck/
Basically, once you have each of your audio channels edited and mixed, you export each channel as an individual mono track. These are then imported into the audio encoder and assigned to the appropriate channels.
Apple does not provide a DTS encoder, so you'll need a third party encoder.
DTS sells their own...

And Surcode has one as well...

DTS has a good document re: authoring surround discs...

If you can live with Dolby Digital, then you can use A.pack which is included with DSP.

You posted the same question in DVDSP forum; look for the answers:

You can use A.Pack (look for it into your apps. folder) to generate the Dolby AC3 files.

Everytime i close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. 6 times.

browsing normally, close firefox, i get an error message about quicktime not working. i click ok. then another comes up. i click ok. 6 times total this error message comes up, every time i close firefox. really annoying.

If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
*Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
*Install the new version that you have downloaded
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installing_Firefox#Mac_OS_X
Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

You can also try to repair the disk permissions:

QuickTime not working even after reinstall

For some reason QuickTime is not working in Safari 5 for a page on my website even after a reinstall of QT 7.6.6
Yet for Firefox 3.6.6 it is.
I added an extension ("Deanimator") for Safari 5 a few days ago, but then removed it soon afterwards.
There is a chance this extension may be the culprit because even Firefox had QT disabled so I had to reactivate it.
Unfortunately I don't see any easy way to simply reactive QT for Safari (and as I said... I did reinstall QT 7.6.6 and restart my computer).
Any ideas? Is there something simple I am missing?
FWIW... HERE (click) is the webpage that works for Firefox but not Safari.
It is normally a popup window so it will be way off center when the link above is clicked on... but you get the idea...

QuickTimeKirk,
"I opened it using QuickTime...""...I don't see any "animation."
Strange indeed since if my very first link in my first post is clicked on (while using Firefox 3.6.6 or Camino 2.0.3) the simple animation displays.
I did open the .mov file in QT and I agree it does not animate for me either in this fashion.
I had not viewed this page, or .mov file, in some time and when I last looked (many versions back on both QT and Safari) there was no problem.
Again... very strange that it would animate in Firefox and Camino since when directly opened in QT it does not.
"The html code uses the "embed" tag but yours is missing the closing tag."
According to Apple there is no closing tag for this... and my syntax checker does not indicate a missing closing tag. Would you refer me to a URL that defines this?
Thanks.

I am unable to get quicktime to work in IE10

I am unable to get quicktime to work in IE10 each time it just redirects me to the quicktime download, I've uninstalled and reinstalled quicktime, I've done a reset on IE, tried unchecking ActiveX filtering...Any other ideas?

I'm working my way through Dreamweaver CC Classroom in a Book. The template in the exercise I'm trying to complete has sections that you can edit and those that you cannot. The links involved are to buttons in the non-editable sections. Since they're non-editable, you can't employ Property Inspector to alter content in those sections. I surmise that the through the Assets Panel approach is supposed to give you the capacity to add hyperlinks to those sections. Double clicking the template does not give you access to those non-editable sections. I've tried that along with a number of other circumventing the Assets Panel approaches. I've dug up a verson of the template from an earlier exercise that doesn't have any non-editable sections and the Property Inspector works fine. With some fumbling aboutI 'm sure I could go right to the code as well.
Ultimately, I don't think I'll have any difficulty with my project working around the Assets Panel. The deal is... it's supposed to work... and it doesn't. And being blown off by support really ticks me off. I'm sure yoou understand.
Thanks for your time and effort on my behaf. Being a really stubborn son of a *****... I'll probably keep after this until I get an answer... whether I ever need to use the Assets Panel or not.
Thanks again.

Javascript functions to control QuickTime not working in Firefox

I am using the provided Javascript functions to control QuickTime (7.6.2); however, the functions are not working in Firefox (3.0.11), whereas they are working in Safari (4.0.1).
I create a QuickTime Player, as follows:
QT_WriteOBJECT('Music.mp3', '0', '0', '', 'AUTOPLAY', 'True', 'KIOSKMODE', 'True', 'CONTROLLER', 'False', 'LOOP', 'False', 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp', 'emb#id', 'qtpID', 'ENABLEJAVASCRIPT', 'True', 'SHOWLOGO', 'False', 'VOLUME', '256');
The Music.mp3 file starts playing in both Safari and Firefox; however, the Javascript functions to control that playing work only in Safari, not in Firefox.
Examples of QuickTime functions that work in Safari, but not in Firefox:
document.qtp.Stop();
document.embeds[0].GetRate();
document.embeds["qtp"].GetTime();
document.embeds["qtpID"].GetQuickTimeVersion();
The GetRate and GetTime functions always return a "0" in Firefox, the Stop command is ineffectual in Firefox, and the GetQuickTimeVersion function aborts the Javascript code in Firefox.
Any ideas what's happening?

Dave, what you have done is very similar to what I have done, with the following exceptions:
1. I'm using the regular HTML version of QT_WriteOBJECT rather than the XHTML version.
2. My first parameter is an .mp3 file rather than a .mov poster in combination with an 'href'.
3. I'm not using some of your parameters, such as, 'target', 'targetcache', 'scale', 'href', and 'name'.
4. Instead of 'name', I'm using --- 'obj#id', 'qtp', 'emb#name', 'qtp' --- which allows me to then reference the QuickTime functions as --- document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Stop(); --- etc.
5. I'm not creating HTML buttons as player controls; rather I am using my javascript program to detect and control the player operation with functions such as --- document.qtp.GetRate(); document.qtp.GetTime(); document.qtp.GetDuration(); document.qtp.SetVolume(); document.qtp.SetMute(); document.qtp.Play(); document.qtp.Rewind(); document.qtp.Stop() --- etc.
6. I change my .mp3 files using --- document.qtp.SetURL();
7. All my javascript is contained in an iWeb HTML snippet using an iframe.
Essentially, I've created a jukebox with button images of album covers that can be visually scrolled and then clicked to play an album via the HTML onClick, onMouseOver, and onMouseOut functions.
This all works without a hitch in Safari; however, in FF, NN, and Opera, it only works if the iframe is completely visible on the screen. It can't be scrolled offpage, and the HTML album cover buttons in the iframe cannot be dimensionless, hidden, or blocked from view.
I really think it's the iframe that is causing this behavior in all the browsers (except Safari).
BTW, as an aside, I don't have a Windows machine, but no one I know using IE on a PC has been able to get my QuickTime Player working. I think it's because, when I want to collapse an album cover, I set its width to '1px' ('0px' works only in Safari), but I think IE may require a minimum width of '2px'. I have not tried changing my image widths to '2px' yet.

Why won't quicktime player work? I own Mac Book Pro with Retina Display and connote get the quicktime player to open or play quicktime movies?

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.

Newer Version of Quicktime that Doesn't Exist?

I'm having issues with Quicktime. I tried downloading iTunes 7. Got that done, rebooted, didn't work. Said I needed quicktime 7.1.3 - so i went to the site to download the new quicktime + iTunes. Did that, it's installed. Quicktime is working, I checked for updates - says there are no updates available. iTunes is STILL telling me it won't run without quicktime 7.1.3 - quicktime is telling me that I already HAVE version 7.1.3.
I have tried completely uninstalling and reinstalling several times, the same error keeps happening. I would give up if I hadn't already spent so much money on iTunes in the previous versions. Really the only reason I want it is for the easy way to backup my iTunes... that and I no longer have the old version, new version deleted it. headesks Help please?

Try to go through this whole article making sure that you remove all the components and reinstall itunes from the web making sure that you download a new installer.....

Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

Quicktime not working after loading Lion. It is in Applications folder. It is dark when trying to play. Audio is there, no video. Is something set wrong?

It is supposed to be dark.
Is it all videos that don't display or just some. You may have installed something like Perian or Flip for Mac that translates the video codecs for Quicktime. They may need updating.

Welcome to Apple Communities
Install VLC. QuickTime is limited in Mac, so use VLC

ITunes and Quicktime wont work

did the usual upgrades and know iTunes and Quicktime wont work - They wont even launch. Im running 10.3.9 and cant upgrade to 10.4 do to the fact that my Pro tools system is not compatible w/10.4. the upgrade said it would run on 10.3.9 now im dead in te water. I tried to install the early version of both but it wont let me "because it knows I have a newer version on there" QT 7.0.3 and the iTunes upgrade- If uninstalling QT & iTunes & then reinstalling earlier version again will work HOW DO I UNINSTALL THEM ? IF IT WONT WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP - I HAVE TO GET THIS SYSTEM UP AGAIN BY TOMMOROW.

I will tell you how to do it but first promise that you will run Disk Repair (single user mode, install disk, or shift key held down at boot) and then repair permissions before trying to reinstall the packages.
Also, download the combo installer for 10.3.9 and run it again.
If none of the above works then you can go to Library/receipts/and the version of itunes and Quicktime that you want to install.
Drag them to the desktop and try reinstalling the updaters for itunes and Quicktime. It should work.
