Quicktime Video Halting on web

I have uploaded a video to my website.. I want to do a basic HTTP stream. The video works just fine in Firefox.. it streams perfectly.. but when I open it in IE, it halts at loading in random spots each time I refresh. The video never fully loads in IE.
http://www.skrubed.com/test.htm - This is a link to my video.. it is using the Sorenson 3 codec.
If anyone can spot some problems, please let me know.
Windows XP Pro

Now I'm getting QuickTime with a question mark (PC hasn't timed out yet, so not sure what it'll get).
What I'd do now is to create a link to the QuickTime movie... ok, THAT was wacky...
I was going to suggest that you just create a link to the .mov file to see if there's some code somewhere on that page that's causing a problem. I noticed that on the top each movie page you have an option to click to download. Well, just clicking on those open the videos in a plain white window and that problem movie played just fine. Then, of course, when I went back a page, the movie was able to play.
SO, since this is only a test page, I'd remove all the descriptive tags first to see if that makes it load (it'll be too small and won't autoplay, but we just want to see if it works). So remove controller, scale, autoplay, cache, and playeveryframe. Download the application from here

To help you switch quickly between tag settings. If all of them off works, then turn them back on one by one. I'm leaving work, so I won't be able to try on a PC until tomorrow, but give it a shot!

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.

Quicktime videos in new web-page not loading.

I'm completely baffled by the following and hope someone might be able to help me.
I'm busy with a clients web site which has a gallery where quicktime video clips of their projects can be viewed.
http://www.arconafrica.netfirms.com/gallery.html
We've gone trough the process of placing each clip in its own page, but for some odd reason when you open a page some videos will start to download and play, other pages just give you a white Question-mark over the Quicktime logo. The really bizarre part is that some videos that we can't download and play on our computers, downloads and play on our clients computers, others play on ours but not theirs... it's really weird as all the settings for each clip is exactly the same.
All the machines that we tested this on are Mac's, we haven't tested a Windows machine yet.
I have a suspicion that I might have made a mistake with the encoding of the videos to Quicktime, maybe I've selected a setting that I shouldn't have which plays havoc with various servers... It's the first time I'm trying to put video clips in a web site...
The video clips where converted in compressor. Using the Quicktime 7, H264 at 300 or 800 kbps streaming. As they are all PAL files I've selected a frame rate of 25 per sec at Medium quality. Hinted streaming is on.
I'd appreciate any advice!!!

Part of the error could be caused by your out of date page code. Yours only uses the embed tag:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60883
When I went looking for your individual files I could only find one:
http://arconafrica.media-nf.netfirms.com/Quicktime%20movies/Martin%20Keyzer-H.26 4%20300Kbps%20Streaming.mov
The %20 is used for spaces in file names.
No need to use hinted movies as your file are not "streamed". They download and only need "Fast Start".
Double check your server to be sure all of the QuickTime files are properly uploaded and are named correctly.

Quicktime Videos Blank on Web Pages...why?

I wanna watch the Apple's Get A Mac adverts of the Apple website using my Sony laptop (Windows XP) but all I see is blank. There are no sounds, no videos, nothing. I've upgraded my Quicktime Pro even installed the latest DiVX and Flash Player but still nothing happens. Please help.

Oh nevermind. The videos are fine now. It's probably some minor problems with the connection.

Getting tight quicktime videos on the web?

Assuming, of course, that I start with a good quality video, how can I make the videos I post on my website look as tight and vivid as the Mac commericals do on the Apple website? Is there a trick in rendering them out, some other type of software I need? My videos don't look muddy or anything, they just don't pop like the Mac commerical.

They are maybe shot in HD and exported to H264 at very high bitrates. Shoot in HD and export with very high bitrates in H264.

QuickTime "Lightbox" on the Web

Does anyone know what technique Apple and others use to create that Lightbox-like frame when playing QuickTime videos on the Web? It's the frame that, after clicking on the play video link, jumps out of the Web page and plays the video in front of the page. An example of this can be found at:
http://www.apple.com/education/teachers-professors/
(click on the vide "Mac for any major" on the page).
Can this be done with a Javascript widget in iWeb?

Roger ~ Apple probably uses their own proprietary method, but see the Movies section here:
http://www.shadowbox-js.com/index.html
...iWeb's HTML widget uses iFrame and according to THIS old thread, there appears to be a problem with that:
It's said that the lightbox and shadowbox are not supported with iWeb's iFrames... and its true, I have tested it, sadly the lightbox is opening in the iFrame.
You'll also need to insert code in the <head> section of your iWeb pages. +iWeb Buddy+ lets you set up any custom scripting to be injected into the <head> portion of each page:

You may find some tutorials for Shadowbox in iWeb by searching HERE.

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?

Quicktime videos on web will not play

on one website in particular, the quicktime videos will not play. on another website, they will.

This won't work because you have to pay to view the videos. However, I was told that others can view the videos.
I discovered that if I disable my security software, the Web protection part, then I can view the videos. I tried just typing in the website URLs as "exceptions" to the web protection, but that did not work. perhaps my security software firm can help.

Quicktime video (.mov) slow start up on web page

Hi,
I have a 15.5 MB Quicktime video file (.mov) embedded in a plain html file. When I load the page from the web server (i.e. http://mywebsite.com/movie.mov), it takes about 3 minutes to load up the video file. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks!

HI AltaExile,
You can enter BIOS setup, and check Recovery Policy item. Change the setting to automatic. There should have a confirmation page ask you to accept after reboot.
Thanks,

Can I maintain original aspect Ratio when making web Quicktime video

Hello there,
I have to convert at 16:9 Premiere file I originally made for DVD into a web ready format. Can I do this without distorting the image? In other words, I want to reduce the file size and keep the proportion intact.
Also, for future reference, what is the optimum aspect ratio when creating video content for web with Premiere?
Thank you in advance for your help.
M

Thank you Jim. Sorry for not replying sooner; I've been offline for a couple of days. Your reply is helpful and I'm
happy I won't have to squash my original 16:9 format movie to put it online.

Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

QuickTime videos stutter in Safari but not Firefox

hi guys,
i recently built a website using lightwindow (http://stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/) to display quicktime videos in modals. the videos play beautifully in firefox but are very choppy in safari. i've tried it on a couple different macs and the result is the same. if you go to the link above, the first demo called "quicktime movie example" is choppy in safari as well but not any other browser i've tried. any idea what could be causing this or why performance is so spotty with safari?
any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

I have just visited "http://www.sg-karting.com/Racing/Photos/Pages/KartingEdgeRound-1.html" using both Safari Version 3.0.4 (523.12) and Firefox version 2.0.0.9 on a G4 PB 10.4.11. And both browsers displayed the same information from what I can see. All the pictures revealed themselves.
Have I picked the correct album for your example?
I tried other area's of your web site and all appeared to be the same as the Safari. Maybe you need to clear your cache.

Quicktime videos take forever to load on my system

Is it me alone, or does anyone have the same problem? I have a excellent system, and nothing takes forever to load on it, only Quicktime videos. The only reason why I use quicktime on my XP machine is to watch the videos that are downloaded from my Kodak camera memory card since the camera saves its video files as quicktime videos, but it takes forever for the video files to load after I have downloaded them and saved them into a folder on my system. When I want to go back and view the videos, the folder freezes until all the videos, even if it is only one video in the folder loads. Why is that? Other video files load immediatley from avi,wmv,to divx,etc.
Does anybody have a solution?

Can't see video on my web page, just click to play button...

Hello!
I just made my first video tutorial and created a Quicktime video. I also made it web ready, which created a folder with the "how to," a poster image, etc. I read the directions and viewed the code for adding it to my web site, but I am new to HTML, etc. and seem to be doing something wrong. All I get is the "Click to Play Button" when I view my page in the browser.
I want to add a link on my blog that will open the page with the video on it in a browser window so it can be viewed. Like this one:
http://cdn.libsyn.com/cspodcast/podcast-BR-flatview.mp4
If anyone can help, here is the link to the page where I have the code:
http://robenmariesmith.com/psactionstutorial.htm
Much appreciated!!
RM

Here is what I did...
1. I created the video in Snapz Pro. Then I saved it to my desktop.
2. Next, I uploaded the image file, which is a .mov file to my web site. I put mine in a folder called img.
3. Now this is the best part, go to this web site:
http://cit.ucsf.edu/embedmedia/step2_qtv2.php?mediatype=QuickTime
4. I selected Web Server and then went to the next screen. On the next screen, add the web server name and the file path. I am a newbie so I made the mistake of adding the entire file path. You only need to add the info. after the web name. Example:
My web server is: http://www.robenmariesmith.com
My file path is: img/tutorials/PSActionsTutorial.mov
Select the pixel image size for your largest image for width and height.
Make the other selections that it requests and click Submit.
5. On the next screen you can actually test your media. If all is working, copy and paste the code into your web site.
Let me know if you need any more help and I will help if I can!
Cheers,
RM
