Quicktime will not allow playback of .mov files (format DVCPRO HD)

hi
i'm unable to play .mov files with quicktime application. i am using mac 10.4.11 and have the latest version of quicktime 7.4.5.
when i click the files the screen shows only white, and sometimes only audio, no images.
i am unsure if upgrading to quicktime pro would solve this, or if i need to download additional plug ins to support .mov playback.
i have opened to the movie inspector page and it does not tell me what plug in is needed - it lists the source, format, fps, playing fps (when available), data size, data rate, current time, duration and normal size.
how do i find which plug in i need?
thanks for hopefully helping. sara

I actually found a link to download the missing components that you listed. i installed the package and it now shows under hard drive / library / quicktime but the HD files will still not play in Quicktime.
could this be because i do not have FCP?
I do not need to edit with the clips - merely to be able to playback to review.
thanks sara

  • Premier Elements 10 - Organiser will not allow me to move files anymore

    I have been using Premier Elements 10 without too many problems but I now have a problem with organiser which is driving me nuts. 
    For some reason organiser will no longer allow me to move files around in the left hand folder window. I move files to the new folder but the video file does not move. 
    Not only that but for some reason organiser has taken two videos from each and every folder and added them to the folder below.  I have tried refreshing, allowing premier to re import the video files, pressing show all etc etc and nothing seems to work. 
    OS is windows vista
    Has amyone else had this problem and more to the point got it sorted.
    Thanks
    David

    Has no one come across this problem?????   Even more frustrating is the fact that now this excuse for editing software will not open any of my projects fully because it has taken it upon itself to mix all my files around and not let me sort them.
    ABOBE THIS PIECE OF SOFTWARE IS UTTER CRAP.  IT IS FULL OF BUGS.

  • Quiz Will Not Allow for Backward Movement

    I have a short 10 page presentation, on page 5 I have a single question.  It is optional, I have it marked for backward movement, it does not show a score afterwards.  When I publish, I can work my way through all pages, however, when I go backwards, I get stuck at the quiz screen, it will not allow me to go back to pages prior to the quiz.  Any suggestions?

    Hi kirkisbetter,
    As per my understanding , you are facing the following 2 issues :
    Issue 1 : You are not able to see the score (Result Slide)at the end
    Issue 2 : Backward movement from the quiz slide.
    We would like to suugest you to follow the steps as mentioned below to resolve the above issues :
    Suggestion for Issue 1:
    Once you delete the result slide from the presentation, then for the result slide to reappear , please go to Quiz -> Manage -> Select the Quiz. The Quiz Settings dialog appears. Make sure the "Show Score at the end of the quiz" option is enabled and then click on OK.
    You can now see the result slide in your presentation.
    Suggestion for Issue 2:
    Once you come to the Quiz slide then you come to the quiz pane in place of the outline pane. In the quiz pane , you can see slides which are presnet after the question slide.
    In order to go backwards from question slide, you need to use the backward button available in the playbar or use the Thumb tab in the right side panel. Once you browse to one slide before the question slide,then you can again see the Outline tab in your right slide pane which lists all the slides available in the presenation.
    We hope this resolves the issue.
    If you are still facing the problem then please do let us know with the exact steps and if possible please share the project file which causes this issue.
    Thanks,

  • Photoshop CC will not allow me to save files

    Photoshop CC will not allow me to save any files.  It will bring up the "save as" window, but then it immediately disappears when trying to select a save location.  No error messages, it just disappears.  Any ideas?  Running it on a Mac OS X Mavericks.  Have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, created a new profile which worked for a few saves, but started doing it on the new profile as well.

    Curt Y, you are a mad genius.  That seems to fix the problem.  You've saved me a lot of time and trouble, thank you sir!

  • ...QUICKTIME will not open it's own files....

    ...it states that the files are the "THE MOVIE COULD NOT BE OPENED. THE FILE IS NOT A MOVIE FILE." Prior to a system crash I had before Christmas followed by a data recovery operation and data transferred to a LaCie 1TB external drive...could the filebe damaged? Could there be another way to open the file? The size 472MB is correct but I can't open the movie. There are a couple of other files that also will not open. All QUICKTIME files that are on my main computer and on another external hard drive open fine. Puzzled! All ideas welcomed. Thanks

    ...thanks for replying. I've tried everything imaginable including VLC and nothing seemed to urge these files to open. Fortunately they are not huge elaborate projects and may take less than a day to reconstruct. Some of them were backed up as QUICKTIME clips and again some of those opened and some didn't. Oddly enough I opened some that wouldn't open under the menu "OPEN" or double clicking but when opened from the "AUTOSAVE VAULT", some of them opened! It is not so much the files I'm concerned about as much as the "problem", something I would want to know how to get out of at a later date. thanks

  • QT 7.3 will not allow me to move, rename or delete QT movies

    Hello, I just recently upgraded to Windows XP Service Pack 2 and QuickTime 7.3. I can watch QT movies, but I can't move, rename or delete them. I get a message saying that the file is being used by another program or user. I have shut down all QT programs and used Task manager to shut down anything else that might be using the movie file. I have removed QT from my startup, and set all file associations except for QT movies to other programs. But still the only way I can manage .mov files is to completely uninstall QT 7.3. Please let me know how to fix this.
    Thanks, SDC

    This is awkward. Right... I have used Aperture since it came out.
    In fact, after all these failures, you should try the rebuilding your library first.
    Hold down Option and Command when launching Aperture, though you couldn't back up your files... which was recommended by Apple before you rebuild it.
    It should correct and repair any broken links or permissions. See if it works.
    After, you can simply COPY and not MOVE the library to the external HD. Do you use Firewire? It's much better and reliable. After the library is copied, point Aperture to use the external HD in preference. Close and reopen, it should open the library from the external HD.
    The better bet is to make sure you are using an external HD with Firewire 800. I have some experience with USB2 drives when Aperture crashes a lot. It may seem some kind of bandwidth problem which I couldn't understand. It seems find with small jpg files but if you start importing RAW or do something with the RAW files, USB drives always fail.
    I have moved my library to an external drive since Aperture 2 as my library has grown beyond the internal capacity. My standard practice is now, after working the files, export them in TIFF or JPG, export the 'Project' with the RAW files to DVDs, remove from the library and re-import the JPGs back to keep the library size. Also I keep two faults in separate locations.
    I hope it works.

  • Help major issue, quicktime will not play my HDV movie?

    I have a major problem here.
    I have a movie i shot and edited when I was at university using Final cut pro and HDV cams.
    I need to show this movie on my macbook pro, but I purchased final cut express, and have just found out my Quicktime does not play this file.. the screen is just black?
    I assume I need a HDV 1080i50 codec for quicktime??? is this correct?
    Where can I get it?
    I intend to give a presentation was going to use OpenOffice or use my Quicktime just for moving image
    Any suggestions?
    Regards

    You were given a video that can only play in Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Express doesn't have that codec.
    You going to have to go back to whom ever gave you that video and have them export the video to a codec that either Final Cut Express can play or a codec that Quicktime can play.The later would be better because, if a video can play in Quicktime it can play in Final Cut Express.

  • Im trying to install itunes but quicktime will not allow it due to an update, i have downloaded the update but it wont install. ive tried everything i know to do. any suggestions.

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Which version of the operating system is it running now? (It is impossible for an iBook G4 to run Mac OS X 10.0.)
    How much RAM is installed?
    What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)

  • RPLN Plug In Missing - will not allow me to open files

    I have InDesign CS 3 version 5.0.4, Windows XP, on a PC. I created a book using several chapters for a 200+ manual. When I left work on Wednesday, 12/31/08, all files were fine. I did not change anything that I am aware of.
    This morning I came in, opened the INDB and most chapters had the warning triangle beside them. When I clicked on it, I got the message the plug-in was missing. I chose the option to open it anyway, but it would not open. Please, please, please tell me there is a quick fix to this.
    My customer is waiting as I write this for me to send her an updated PDF of the book for her to review.

    It seems very odd that so many others have had the exact same experience. Is it possible that Adobe put a time limitation on the version so that files done before a certain date wouldn't load. I wouldn't put it past them.
    No, there is no time limit on files created in any version (I still on occasion need to open files from 2001). Files created in Pre-release versions prior to CS5 will not open in release versions, but they usually produce a differnt error message that tells you that. Please send me one of these files and I'll take a look and see if I can determine the version it was saved from for you. I'm sending you a link to my drop box by the private message system.
    It's not terribly surprising that this comes up with some frequency. There's quite a bit of confusion about the version numbering system CS labeled versions all have "actual" version numbers two digits higher than the CS number and many users think they have CS3 when they have Version 3. This sort of warning virtually never turns out to be anything other than a version problem.

  • MacBook Pro will not allow me to attach files to email

    After completing a software update last week, my MacBook Pro will now not allow me to send email attchments through Hotmail or Mocrosoft Outlook. I have been unable to upload photos to Facebook now either. The message I am getting is the Safari has quit unexpectedly due to the IA plug in  (I have no idea what that means!).  HELP!!

    You (or someone else) has installed on your Mac software which causes Safari to crash. Are you being monitored?

  • OS X will not let me delete .mov files, error says "file in use" but files not in use, still happens after restart

    Hi
    I have a folder full of .mov files but can't delete any of them, I get a message "File in use" but it isn't. Have managed to delete using Terminal, but that is a pain. New files have the same problem, have tried unlocking them and restarting the computer, but no joy. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello
    you may try this
    - use little app like Onyx download here
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
    - start from an external system hard drive , then navigate to your file to delete it
    - by luck if you have a second mac and a firewire cable , have a look at

  • Aperture 2.1.2 crashing constantly, will not allow me to move library/ create vaults

    Hi, I've searched for threads on this, but nothing came up with my particular situation. First, I'll state my specs
    iMac 24" (aluminum)
    3.06GHz Core2 Duo
    4GB RAM
    500GB HDD
    So, after much procrastinating, I decided this weekend that I would organize my photos better, and move my growing Aperture library off my internal drive in hopes of speeding up my recently lagging computer. I migrated from iPhoto to Aperture back in August of 2008 and have always been meaning to make a vault of all my old work and just store that offsite somewhere so I don't have to worry about the disk space or losing the files. But I never got around to it.
    So now my Aperture library is 35,000 photos large, and weighs in at 302GB.
    The first thing I tried to do (before I even knew Aperture was going to start crashing) was to move the Aperture Library file from its default location in the users/pictures folder to one of my external 1.5TB drives. However, the transfer would fail around 6GB in and say "some files could not be read or written." I tried several times to no avail.
    Giving up that route, I read around online and decided that I could just make a vault of my entire library on the external drive, then create a new library there, and restore from the vault.
    So I open Aperture to try and make a vault. It "unexpectedly quits" right when the interface loads. I tried again and got as far as naming the new vault, then it crashed again. Now it crashes even if I am trying to just view my images. I went on a short roadtrip with friends and got back last night, and it crashed halfway through the import of 400 images, but finished importing when I reopened it. I don't know if that's what started off the whole thing.
    Anyway, I noticed that I only had 4(!)GB of space left on my internal drive, so I did some quick cleaning and rearranging to external drives and freed up about 45GB of space. I figured that would give the app plenty of room to breathe.
    Nope. Still crashes.
    Rebooted several times, no help.
    Reset PRAM several times, nada.
    I am in real trouble here. I'm a photography student with three studio classes this quarter and I can't have this happening. I paid top dollar for this machine less than six months ago and now it's puttering along like it's 2 or 3 years old. When Aperture is open (when it would still work) the rest of the computer would just slow to a crawl. I have 4GB of RAM, why doesn't Aperture use more? I was reading that it would only use 1 or 2GB max. Why?
    But that part is not important.
    I need to get this fixed, so ANY help is GREATLY appreciated! I have the crash report saved from the last crash, so if anyone wants to see any part of it, let me know. It told me which thread caused the crash but it looked like generic usage stuff, nothing special (I was just trying to look at my trip photos).
    Thanks in advance,

  • ITunes will not allow me to drag files onto my desktop or a USB drive. The files still come up in finder and I can drag from there but I need entire playlists transferred. It started this when Yosemite went public and I updated out of BETA.

    Songs and Playlists cannot be dragged from the itunes app onto desktop or usb drives.
    Files can be dragged from Finder but only one at a time.
    The issue started when I updated Yosemite out of BETA.
    I am running:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10
    2013 Macbook Pro
    iTunes 12.0.1

    Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!
