Quicktime video vanishes with Firefox 4.0

I just updated my web browser to Firefox 4.0, and suddenly the embedded Quicktime video in my iWeb-created website has become totally unpredictable. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not. Mostly it's not. And when it's not, the spot where the video should be is totally blank. Not even the big Quicktime "Q." If you click on the blank space a big dotted rectangle appears.
The video is fine on every other browser I've tried: Safari, Chrome, I.E., and the Firefox version I was using before. I've wondered if it's a missing plug-in, but I'm not getting prompted for anything.
Any ideas?

The QT movie opened promptly for me in Firefox 4.0. The fact that it's intermittent for you with FF indicates that it's a connection issue and not an iWeb issue. For some reason not all of the files are being loaded by FF at those times. (The server is probably being run by an Ohio State graduate )

Go Blue!
Note: using Quicktime for you slide presentation will exclude all those users from the dark side who don't have Quicktime installed on their PCs. You might look into a java based method for the presentation. There are lots of them out there. With the free Jalbum you have over 100 themes/skins to choose from.

ITunes / Quicktime Video Problems With Windows VISTA

I took up Windows Vista as soon as it was available and initially had no problems with iTunes. Then later, video clips (those purchased from iTunes and those I had converted myself) started stuttering / freezing and eventually crashing iTunes and finally I lost audio as well.
Ayyway to cut a long story short, I have uninstalled / re-installed Vista now about eight times for problems with installing drivers for USB devices (I've finally solved all these problems). After the last install the first program I installed was iTunes, tried video and it worked flawlessly. Then, each time I added a hardware device or program I would restart Vista and retry iTunes video.
The first item I added was a USB thumb drive (as I had on all previous occasions to take advantage of Vista's 'Ready Boost'). The thumb drive is a 'Sony 2GB micro vault tiny', and meets the transfer speed requirements for 'Ready Boost', as soon as I had set the drive up for 'Ready Boost' I started having the same problems with iTunes video and Quicktime.
Removed the thumb drive, restarted iTunes and had flawless video playback again. Have tried this over and over with the same result.
So my question is, has anyone else had video playback problems with iTunes / Vista and found similar problems. Trying to tie down whether this is a compatability problem with 'Ready Boost' or the thumb drive used. I have also tried a Sandisk Titanium 2GB with the same result.
I am not sure exactly how 'Ready Boost' works, I thought it added memory that was used to cache page files to the thumb drive instead of to the HDD making a faster seek /access time? Which should make things faster. Another article I read today was talking about 'Ready Boost' being an affordable extension to RAM, in this case I could understand the problem as I would think the access to a USB 2.0 thumbdrive would be slower than that to RAM.
Any help appreciated, but I guess my bottom line is anytime I want to watch video on iTunes, I just pull the USB thumb drive .
PC Pentium 4 Other OS Windows Vista Home Premium

I have the same stuttering video issues with iTunes and Vista. While I have used a thumb drive to transfer files (not Sony) I have not yet messed with Ready boost. I have seen several others complain about the video problem, perhaps they will chime in as well. Unfortunately, your solution doesn't work for me. I pretty much ignore iTunes, waiting for the next version (only god knows when it will be released).
I do have an external firewire drive connected, I'll disconnect later today and see if that has any affect.

QuickTime/Flash problem with Firefox - Redux

I know people are having problems getting Flash content to play on the latest version of Firefox (7) for Macs. I know it has something to do with QuickTime interceding on behalf of Flash Player and screwing with Firefox's mind. Following instructions on this forum, I downloaded the latest version of Flash Player 9, loaded it, and everything worked fine -- as long as I didn't quit Firefox. Opening Firefox again, the problem's back. Returning to your forum, you suggest I go into QuickTime's preference menu and turn off Flash in the Advanced section. Trouble was, it wasn't on. So, now what do I do?
Also, I really don't want to turn off Flash in QuickTime. I will be making Flash movies again soon, and QuickTime is integral to that. I also like Firefox. I really don't want to stop using it. Has anyone told Mozilla they really screwed up and need to fix this problem?

You mean Firefox version 2.0.0.6. That's the latest version.
In the preferences for Quicktime-->Enable Flash-->leave unchecked. That's to play .swf (flash) that is wrapped in a Quicktime container. And Quicktime only supports .swf (flash) version 5 and below... Really not a selling point... What are they up to version 8/9 now? To me not worth making any more. Unless your using flash to make sprites to use in Qt. And at that point you knew to know actionscript for version 5 of flash.
If you come across a .swf/quicktime a popup window will ask you if you want to activate it. When you close out the browser window it will revert to being off again.
Go to the MIME Settings that is just below that Enable Flash box. Scroll down to the bottom... Miscellaneous file Formats. Uncheck Flash media. This one really needs to be off!!!
As far as I know Quicktime really doesn't play a part in Flash anymore. As a container.

[SOLVED] sound and video issues with firefox

I decided to change my browser due to some problems with the last chromium update (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=182218).
I'm using the last version of firefox but I can't watch any videos in this browser. I'm having two main problems:
· There is no sound at all in the videos played. But there is sound if I play something with Clementine or mplayer
· The videos stop after a few seconds automatically. The videos keep loading, but they are not played anymore.
This is a weird thing. I can't use a browser! Please some help!
PS: I change the player on youtube to HTML5 and it's working now

Hello,
While the whiteboard itself doesn't have an upload command,
the FilePublisher can upload images into the Cocomo room. From
there, your clients can download the image and display it (say,
through an image component). The SharedWhiteboard can have its
backgroundAlpha set to 0 - try myWB.setStyle("backgroundAlpha", 0).
As far as your audio is concerned, it seems as though you're
compiling against the FP10 cocomo.swc, but aren't requiring player
10 in your Flex project (check Project Properties->Flex
Compiler). I'd either use the FP9 swc, or require 10.0.0 or higher
in the project.
hope that helps

Quicktime Video Taken with iPhone4

I have an iMac (2GHz Power PC G5 / 2 GB DDR SDRAM / OS X 10.5.8). I am trying to play video through QuickTime that I have taken with my iPhone 4.
The video really stutters and never gets smooth.
Is this an issue where my graphics card / processor just cannot handle this type of video or is there something I can change via settings preferences? I noticed this issue lately with videos streamed through the internet as well.
Thank You!

I am having the same issue with Quicktime Player Version 10.0 (114).

Quicktime video sluggish with Logic

I'm using LP 7.2.3 ,and am noticing a significant lag in playback when using it with Quicktime. When I hit play, for example, it may take 2-3 seconds before anything happens.
This seems relatively recent, and I thought connected to my upgrading to QT 7.1.3. But when I downgraded to 7.0.2, the problems persisted. Any thoughts? I've tried both the boot drive and various firewire drives for video playback. All of these drives played back QT movies in the past just fine, and play Pro Tools picture without a hitch.

sorry mate, but can you go through your trouble
shooting checklist?
the combo you are talking about works everywhere
else....logic 7.2, DAE, QT - all works fine.
does it work normally when you play it back
internally - ie as a window on the monitor?
does it work noramlly when you use built-in audio
with a fresh autoload?
how much other things do you run from the same drive
as the video?
do you have other devices on the FW bus the video
converter uses? (don't forget macs only come with 1
FW bus!)
i agree with you it is likely a QT issue but
downgrading logic will not help. QT and logic are
seperate. try downgrading QT. you can do this by
installing a standalone installer and removing the
receipts script from library->receipts (you may know
this already - you sound like you know what you are
doing but its for anyone else following the thread).
the issues with the latest version of QT seem to be
intel specific though - you're running a G5 aren't
you?
It does not work well in any config-on the monitor or through a canopus box to an external monitor. Video in Pro Tools works fine. Logic without video works fine. Video playing off internal ATA or ext firewire both not functioning.
Trying it without DAE is interesting. I will try that, although I wonder what it says if it works?
What version of QT do you use? 7.1.3?

Flash video hesitates with Firefox 9.0.1

Hello,
I'm new to Firefox so just installed it the other day, latest ver 9.0.1. Found that running flash videos embedded in a web page has a jerky, hesitating apperance with the sound working fine but doesn't always match people talking. If I scroll it forward with the slider bar, it hangs for awhile. Flash works fine with IE8. I've tried all the usual fixes I've read about;
Uninstalled Flash with the Flash Removal tool, reinstall Flash for Firefox (several times)
Turned off Hardware Acceleration in Flash
Updated Java according to Firefox's plugin check screen
I have a Windows XP sp3 system with 3g memory
ATI AllInWonder 9600 with latest drivers
Any other ideas? It's funny as Firefox runs faster bringing up web pages but then dies on Flash.
Thanks

Turns out that Firefox became a little more fussy about standards than IE. (Imagine that!!) Code created hidden inputs of type="text" , then called a javascript function and passed the values in the hidden inputs as parameters. The original code just passed the name of the input as a variable. The Firefox Webconsole then complained that the variable was not declared. Once I passed the variable.value, then the error went away, Firefox was happy, didn't break IE, so I'm happy.

After exporting on FCP, quicktime video freezes with perfect audio.

First off, this is my first video I've exported with FCP.
I made the video, edited and everything with no problem. When I exported, however, a 10 second clip would turn every color of the rainbow and flash, but the audio was perfect.
After researching a little bit I used compressor and it somewhat solved my problem. It went from colors, to freezing. Again the audio is fine but the video freezes for the duration of the clip.
I'm lost at this point.
Thanks!

Without any information regarding original material codec, seqence settings (codec) and output format (codec), it's just generally useless guesswork.

Firefox Embedded Quicktime Video does not seem to be working

Hi,
I am having trouble with Quicktime Videos that run using the Quicktime plug-in in the Firefox browser. I am not having similar problems with Safari and much of what I have been reading seems to talk about the Flash problem (which is not the same). I am on OSX 10.4.11 (852167), kernel Darwin 8.11.1, Firefox version 2.0.0.9, and Quicktime plug-in version 7.3.
The videos I was trying to play are on the startrek.com site (specifically, http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/series/TOS/episode/68730.html then click on the "Remastered Episode Preview" link -- it is a JavaScript popup from that point). The result is a pop-up with a white box where the video should be and all of the quicktime controls at the bottom. At first it seemed intermittent (maybe one out of three times the video played). Now, it doesn't seem to work at all (could just be that I cleared the cache and it was picking that up).
I did try it with Safari and this video (and the others, of course -- that is just a test case) always works. I dug through the Apple support forum and the mozilla forum for firefox, but couldn't find anything specific to this problem.
Thank you for your help,
Jim

HI and I am perplexed.
I have the newest update for Quicktime on my Powermac Yosemite, 1gb ram and Flip4Mac installed. I have configured the prefernces for both the system prefs part and the QT prefs but I can not see the video...I can hear the music which this makes the 4th time I have installed it and I finally hear it but no pictures.
I don't know what to do. I have OS 10.3.9, updated QT to the latest version, installed Flip4mac, fixed the prefs and even rebooted to the Panther 10.32 cd and used the Disk Utility to repair all hd's and repair permissions to the OS partition.
As I said I can now hear the vid but no images appear. We are trying to use the vids (.wmv) to show off our members chosen each month but the few of us mac users only get moozik...lol
I have tried .avi, .wmv and .swf, the latter I can see and hear but very choppy. In OS 9 I knew there were several codecs that needed to be installed but I thought they were installed with Panther.
The url of the movie is Stormi's Artist of the Month Video ***may contain some nudity but it is not real people it is 3d art***

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 video looks different in Firefox and Safari, is there a fix?

My full problem is described in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4451761
but to keep it simple, my immediate issue is that Safari and Firefox are displaying my video differently. Firefox appears darker and Safari appears brighter. With my monitor set to a gamma of 1.8 (default for OS X) Firefox looks perfect and Safari looks washed out, and with my monitor set to 2.2 (Windows default and all-together better looking) Firefox is too dark and Safari is perfect.
All I want to know is WHY they look different and how to fix this.

Thanks for your response. While this may work with audio and video originating from your own computer it doesn't seem to effect audio and video viewed from the Firefox 5.01 browser which uses a QuickTime plugin. Audio and Video viewed from Safari and Firefox 3.6.19 work fine which leads me to believe the QT plugin and Firefox 5 browser are not working correctly.
