Quicktime will only play my video once

When I download a video sent to me via my FTP server, quicktime will only play it once. If I try again it will post a message saying something along the lines of "Quicktime is unable to open this file" because it's not a format it recognized. The files were made on a Mac and were exported with quicktime pro as a "export for web" changing the file extension from .m4v to .mov. Also when I upload it to youtube, the audio does not get uploaded. Could it be that changing the file extension is creating all these problems? If so, how can I get around it? What setting could I use to export a small version of the quicktime as an .mov comparable to the web export?

Unfortunately this will not help you much, but I discovered this problem on my XP Media Center box AND my Vista laptop. It happened around the same time. All of a sudden, QT movies would only play once. I'd close the browser and it would work again, just once. I use Safari and Firefox as well...guess what, they both work fine. So there is a work around...don't use IE. I do get a QT plugin error though, it says the plugin did not initialize. Seeings that it used to work fine and stopped on both machines at the same time, I'm assuming it was some update, but using Safari or Firefox is quicker and easier than troubleshooting IE...

  • QuickTime will only play ONCE

    Running QT (latest version) on a WinXPsp2 machine.
    Every time we run QT content from a website, it will run once but not run again. There is no error, just unresponsiveness. If we close the browser and reacquire the webpage, it works again ... once. Updating did not help.
    Any ideas?

  • Firefox will only play YouTube videos up to 720, how to fix?

    This afternoon I watched an old video of mine on YouTube. Afterwards, YouTube now only gives the option of 360 or 720p playback. Internet Explorer will play the same videos at 4K, and I was able to watch 1080 up to 2160p before watching this old video, how do I fix Firefox?
    http://youtu.be/Je0sQwVynzI
    There's the newest video, with a 4k playback option, I don't want to post the old video that caused the glitch but it's the first video in my channel.
    Please help!

    After going into about:config I did 2 things:
    media.mediasource.enabled set to True
    then added
    Right-click and select New > Boolean
    Name preference media.mediasource.ignore_codecs
    Set value to True
    A ton of technical stuff just from playing an old video! Is there a simpler to fix this without hard setting things in the configuration?
    And now I cannot replay youtube videos! It will pause if I try to go back. Considering a video will auto play so I will select the highest quality then scrub back to start this happens usually every time so this fix is worthless.

  • Quicktime will not play any video files

    When trying to play any compatible video files .mov, .mp4 etc... all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen. The computer is not frozen I can close the window with the red x. I can open Quicktime and the web stuff opens but opening a video file on the computer causes this. I confirmed the latest version of Quicktime in installed and I have confirmed the video files I'm trying to play work on another computer and the .mp4 file plays in media player on this computer. The video card driver is up to date. I want to play my .mov files from my iphone but can't.

    all I get is a small black box in the upper left corner of the screen.
    Curious ... I wonder if this is a blown-out display preference?
    Could you check something for me please? Create a new user account on the PC with full sdminidtrative rights. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. Try playing a file in the new account. Does it display properly?
    If it works okay in the new account, let's try to get things working in the normal account again with the instructions from the following thread:

  • After mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please

    after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive

    Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD  and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
    Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
    You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

  • You Tube videos will only play at 360p and 240p, no 480p. Was working before yesterday.

    Standard definition You Tube videos will only play at 360p and 240p, no 480p. HD videos will play at 720p, no 1080p. It was working until yesterday. I have not made any changes to Firefox. I tried upgrading to the latest version. This is not helping either. I don't have this problem when using Internet Explorer. The problem exists on both of my computers.

    hello kmcvety, this should be an issue which is going to be resolved in firefox 36 - you could try it out right now in the beta version:

  • ITunes 10 will only play the first track of a CD, including brand new CDs.

    I reinstalled my operating system and had to reinstall iTunes. Now I have version 10 and after I import a CD it will only play the first track then progressively go track by track skipping through the rest without playing. Does it even whether I try to play from the CD or from the music section I imported it to. Even have 3 brand new CDs that it is doign the same thing to, so I have a hard time believing it is a disc reading issue.

  • Since syncing my Ipod classic three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it just stops. After a little while, it moves on to the next song.

    I have an old iPod Classic, 5th generation with video 30 GB. I sync via a pc. Since syncing it three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it moves on to the next song or if it's the last song, it goes back to the menu. I just synced again and it it still doing it.It also has a small group of dots near the middle of the screen that weren't there before.Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?  Thanks.

    Please disregard this question. I have a better worded version coming up.

  • HT3775 My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files

    My Macbook Air (still with Lion) will not play .avi video files (brought over from an older PC where they play with another viewer). This site implies Quicktime Player should be able to do so. Is there a codec or something else I'm supposed to download?

    I had found this through other threads, but it is what worked, even allowed my AVI files to be played in PowerPoint. Changing to 32-bit encryption did not work, BTW.

    Either this needs to get fixed or i will request my money back because i will not work for my money while other lie about what i spend it on.

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

  • Ipod Mini will only play some songs

    My ipod mini has 43 songs. It will only play some of my songs. The other songs won't even play a single second. I've had some success with restoring via the ipod updater but it keeps coming back. Help?

    I've already written to Apple, several times. They sent an auto-reply expressing sympathy that I couldn't find where I had downloaded my iTunes, and directing me to the correct folder...not exactly a helpful answer.
    I'm using whatever software came with the blue mini last August when I bought it. I can't be positive, but it seems that the only iPod software updates since then have been related to the shuffle, the nano, ot the new iPod (video), or a system bugs (Tiger) which I don't have yet.
    What would have made iTunes stop recognizing the system and the iTunes version associated with the music I bought? What prevents iTunes, at some future point, from suddenly not recognizing my right to play music I paid for and/or insisting that I upgrade something which had been working just fine--until I went online?
    Don't get me wrong--I've had Apples for almost 20 years. I have been a fervent supporter of Apples, have referred many people to Macs over the years, and have no intention of using Windows....Maybe that kind of loyalty is what gives the impression that I'll put up with whatever happens, unfair or not. A more accurate interpretation, however, would be that I'll just keep one Mac offline all the time so I can choose what software to upgrade, and when.
    But this is an iPod forum...and I digress...
    Thank you for your attempt to get to the bottom of this.
