QuickTime VR Panorama doesn't play correctly from a webpage

http://www.nps.gov/features/glac/gallery/082105b.htm is supposed to play a QuickTime VR Panorama (082105suelake.mov). It contains the following <embed> tags:
<embed src="../video/panoramas/082105suelake.mov" width="600" height="465" autoplay="true" controller="true"></embed>
To play it, all you do is drag your clicked mouse across the image and it's supposed to play as long as your mouse is clicked.
That worked through Snow Leopard (Safari 5.1.10, etc.).
But with Lion and Mountain Lion (Safari 6.1.1, Firefox 27.0, and Google Chrome 32.0.1700.107, and earlier verisions), instead of moving with the clicked mouse, it would jump to what should have been its final position when the mouse was released.
Safari 7.0.1 correctly plays it (one of the reasons I upgraded from Lion to Mavericks), but sadly, Firefox 27.0 and
Google Chrome 32.0.1700.107 both behave on Mavericks as they did on Lion.
All three use QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3 to play it; so, I figure Safari 7.0.1 must be providing some <embed> parameter values that Firefox and Chrome don't know about.
The standalone QuickTime Player 7 plays the panorama fine. It shows the following Properties:
everything else is either blank or the default values. The Inspector display shows
with the Video Track unchecked, and
with it checked. I can only imagine what happens on Windows (Internet Explorer, etc).
If you install the DivX Web Player (divx.com), DivX Web Player version 3.1.0.13 — from file “DivX Web Player.plugin” takes precedence over QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3, when playing .mov files in Safari (doesn't get installed by default in Firefox or Chrome).
To get around that, I added type="video/quicktime" to the <embed> parameters, in http://home.comcast.net/~mybrandt/082105b.htm, hoping it would fix the problem Firefox and Chrome were having. A similar fix made Safari choose QuickTime over DivX, when playing a QuickTime movie.
But instead of playing it, like it did without DivX installed, with type="video/quicktime" added, Safari 7.0.1 now shows
where the panorama image should be. And, adding to my frustration, the extra parameter had no effect on Firefox or Chrome.
All are using QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.3, but don't behave the same — making this problem beyond my level of comprehension.
So, what are the necessary <embed>, or <object>, or QT_WriteOBJECT_HTML, or QT_WriteOBJECT_XHTML parameters for a QuickTime VR Panorama?
I can find all sorts of documents about QuickTime movies, but not that. Maybe I'm just looking in the wrong spot. But I've sort of run out of time. If someone could provide a template to use, it would be most appreciated.

I have to correct something. With type="video/quicktime", Safari 7.0.1 does play the QuickTime VR Panorama, so it's effective for both QuickTime videos and panoramas. But, what I wrote about Firefox and Chrome hasn't changed.
I did get the QuickTIme with a "?" symbol when I tried to play it with Safari 7.0.1, before submitting the question; but maybe that was a side effect of an earlier attempt.

Quicktime 10.3 doesn't play

I just bought a Mc Book Air. But when I try to play any video mov or avi it doesn't play. I need any additional program or update?
File information: codecs MP42, MPEG Layer 3.

File information: codecs MP42, MPEG Layer 3.
MP42 and MP43 are Microsoft video codecs. Not sure if the free VLC player supports these formats or not. If not, you can always try the Flip Player from Telestream.

QuickTime Problem. Doesn't play video.avi.

I have updated the system up to the latest - Maverick. After that QuickTime Player doesn't play video.avi. I have tried restarting the app - worthless. Yet, it has been showing 'Converting' for 30 mins. Please, help!

Hello, thank you for your reply. I have several more questions if you don't mind.
1. Does it always take that long to convert a file (more than 30 mins)? It seems that it doesn't work. It stops at the beginning and than nothing changes.
2. Since when QuickTime needs convertation for avi? I thought this is a standart format.
3. How can I use QuickTime 7?
Here is what I see during 30 mins.
Thank you beforehand!

Downloaded music doesn't play correctly

I've recently downloaded two albums from the itunes store and they don't play correctly on the computer or my iphone. All of my previous downloads have worked fine. I even purchased one of them a second time in case the problem was on my end. How do I oursue this with Apple?
Thanks!

Could you walk us through what happens when you try to play the songs, please?

Midi doesn't play correctly with plugin

I cannot get midi to play correctly in applets using java plugin (of any version). It does not stay "synced" when it is played. It does work with the appletviewer though. Not even the example in the java tutorial/sound is played correctly. Is there any walkaround?

What OS are you using? Please clarify what versions of java you are using? And, are you sure you have the latest sound bank installed correctly?

Loop auditions correctly but doesn't play correctly in Logic project

I've found this particular loop, "Euro Move Synth 3" play correctly when I audition it but as soon as i drag it over into a project, the file will not play as auditioned. I've tried deleting the loop and reinstalling and creating new projects. Using totally default settings. Can anyone confirm the same problem and/or help?
Thanks

Hello,
don't forget that Apple Loops adapt to the speed and key of your project. Maybe you have prelistened the loop in it's original speed and key and said "cool!", and now in your project (other tempo, lower or higher key) it sounds "....".
Another possibility is that you had selected a Midi Loop which is dependend on the software instruments. Maybe you have inserted only the midi data of the loop into an existing software instrument track. In this case, the loops are played back with the wrong sound.
Instead, insert the loop below the existing tracks into the arrangment window. It automatically creates a new track with the right software instrument settings.

Exporting Video w/ Sound From Premiere Doesn't Play Correctly in After Effects.

I export a video from Premiere with sound and Import it into After Effects, however the sound seems to be sped up and glitching. The wave form is compressed and shows that the sound does not play for the actual duration of the video?

We can't know. You have neither provided any exact export settings nor any other useful info like system info, versions, audio hardware prefs and so on.

Quicktime X Player doesn't play wmv files correctly!

I have a brand spanking new MacBook Pro 13" with Snow Leopard installed. When I play WMV files with Flip4Mac installed, I'm unable to use the scrubber to move to different parts of the movie being played. I have to wait for it to cache (basically play back) before I can skip around in the movie.
Funny thing is that my previous machine was a Macbook v. 1.1 and I upgraded it to Snow Leopard from Leopard with WMC. QT Player worked with WMV files just fine. What gives?

RE: +I found a solution that works from the Flip4Mac boards.+
+Go to System Preferences, select Flip4Mac then player, then advanced.+
+Then select QT Player 10 and all works fine.+
*For those of us w/ a different version of QT you won't need to specifically select QT 10, just hit the "plus" then browse to your applications folder and select whichever version of QT you have and this fix works. You don't need to have QT 10. (For those of us not blessed to be in Leopard yet.) I have QT 7.6.4 Pro and it works fine. Brings back the quick little "import" bar we love so much when opening WMV files. Turns out there was a purpose for it after all! Unless QT is told to import all media prior to opening the file, it imports as it plays causing the afore mentioned issue.

Quicktime X exports do not play correctly in Firefox

Get a movie and export it to 'save for web' option 'Computer. Quicktime X will make a folder on your destkop or movie folder. Now open the index file with firefox. click on the movie to play it.
BROKEN
On the other end if you drag the movie to the screen it will play in firefox with the quicktim 7 interface...huh?

Here is my two cents on this subject.
1) If you follow the direction here (http://www.creativetechs.com/iq/embediphone_friendly_videos_on_yourwebsite.html) at this website using Quicktime 7 it works just fine after you make the necessary changes to the html(i.e. the correct path to your movie/poster image). But if you follow what is essentially the same steps with Quicktime X (where Export for web is now called saved for web instead) I dont get it to work. One major difference is the code that is generated. The scrip that goes in the <head> section if slightly different as they seem to use different java.
see below
<head> script with Quick7
<script src="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/scripts/ac_quicktime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>

<link href="http://www.apple.com/library/quicktime/2.0/stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
The other major difference is the <body> code that is generated between the two versions. See below

Quick X
Now I'm more of designer than a coder, but even I see the huge difference between the two. With Quick X the body code is way less and is a link.
This would be cool if it worked perfectly, as less code is good with me, but it doesn't. It wont play in Firefox. It works for the most browsers, especially safari.
When I tried to get to work in Firefox locally on my Mac, I was able to make it play after correcting the html, but it would open in a new page and center the movie all by itself. Not exactly the results I wanted.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem.
The new interface with Quick7 looks slick and I would like to use it,but not if its going to be this broken.

Quicktime 7.2 doesn't play files with audio

I just upgraded quicktime to 7.2 and I can not open files that have audio. Mov files that video only open just fine.
When I updated quicktime, the installation was "successful". The web test on the apple site says quicktime is installed correctly and displays streams correctly.
itunes won't boot up
Final Cut gets stuck booting at the "audio filters" extension
Safari displays quicktimes video and audio just fine. Apple movie trailers look and sound great.
I have installed the ilife conflict fix update.
I am running a G5 with 10.3.9 OSX.

To Apple Discussions!
Did you run fsck/repair permissions after the installation? If so, then check out the following:
KB article - No sound from some applications, but system alert sounds play (Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4)
Another trick: If you have GarageBand installed, open it (maybe open a GarageBand document) and then quit out of the application.

ITunes 11.1.2.31 (win7 x64) doesn't play music from my 5s anymore.

iTunes shows the songs on iPhone, after doubleclicking it shows the "normal" player as if it would play the music but doesn't start, stucks at 0:00.
I deinstalled all the stuff from APPLE cleared registry (ccleaner), restarted my PC, installed iTunes, restarted PC, connected iPhone... Remark: I cannot be sure that ccleaner has found all the keys in the registry.
Is there anything what I've forgotten? What setting can I make to force iTunes to start the player?
Thanks

I forgott to mention, on my other PC with same OS and iTunes Version it works pretty well

Hi all!
I've been installed JMF 2.1 on Ubuntu 9.04 and it's a Virtual Machine . It's seem successfull. I only have error "Can't open video card 0...." but i think it's not important

i tried some ways but it doesn't change
i use JMStudio to open them.
Please help me. I need to solve it now because my project is out of date.

it's rate is 1.0 and although setRate((float)0.1);Then it sounds like an issue with using JMF in a virtual machine. Don't know that there's anything you can do...

IPod doesn't play music from certain artists

Every time I select about 5 of my songs from Linkin Park they will not play (this goes for only some songs by this artist only). When I play the song, it shows the beginning screen, and then skips to the next song. If I pause it and skip ahead it goes back to the beginning. Why is this happening?

Do the songs play ok in iTunes? Have you tried
deleting them from the iPod and then re-load them?
They do play in iTunes, but I haven't tried reloading them yet. I got them from iTunes about half a year ago and about 3 months after that they just stopped playing.

E5:RealPlayer doesn't play correctly

mp4 video play but error for 1sec then play continue again error 1sec............The mp4 video play normal in pc and smartmovie of lonleycatgames .what does that means .........either to be updated.........or........? the video is downloaded from youtube by mobile.
thanks

MP4 and 3GP are just container formats, near to every video codec could be included. Please, have a look with MediaInfo and report back. By the way, I recommend to go for MPEG-4 Simple-Profile as video codec because this has broad compatibilty and is not that much larger than the newer formats.
