Quicktime / Windows Media

Is it supported on the iPhone?

Quicktime, yes. Windows Media - I was unable to get iTunes to recognize WMA files, so I assumed I have to convert them to MPEG or something before I can transfer them over to the iPhone via iTunes.

All Plug-Ins in Safari are not working... flash, windows media, quicktime.

Hello to anybody that might be able to help me,
None of my plug-ins are working. Flash, Quicktime, Windows Media etc. are doing nothing. When I go to nba.com for example, the whole top flash element is just not there.
When I go to help menu and look at installed plug-ins... it appears as if they are all there. Anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
James
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Well... that was stupid... I just figured it out. Setting I just managed not to notice before. In preferences under security, I had to check "enable plug-ins". Don't know how it got unclicked, but anways, yeah.

Windows media plays instead of Quicktime

I'm currently running 10.4.8 and both my internet browsers Safari and Firefox used to play video files in quicktime format. I did an update in firefox an all of a sudden the default player is windows media in which i dont like. I did have Flip for mac on my desktop but have since deleted it. i have also went through the preferences in both safari and firefox and selected quicktime as the default player but still no luck. I do not like the windows media player at all. any suggestions?
Thanks

try the following:
open quicktime.
from the menu select "quick time preferences"
this will bring up a new window.
click on the "Advanced" tab
once there, click on "MIME settings" (bottom left button)
Thta should open a new window "Select the MIME types that...."
There you should be able to select and deselect your preferences and "MPEG" should be ALL ticked (so the initial view is a tick" the other one to lock for is
"Video". now that's likely to havea "-" in there. It all depends on your system setup.
good luck

QuickTime plug-in for Window Media Files?

Microsoft recently announced that they will stop developing any update or improvement for Window Media Player for the Mac: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060113/apon_hi_te/microsoftapple
It is a little disappointing aspect because sometimes I keep running into cool websites that have many WMFs but few or no QT support. Right now I'm unable to play any WMF because Window Media Player is very buggy.
Is Apple going to push for some kind of WMF plug-in support for future QuickTime app since Microsoft is going to kill off development for WMP for the Mac?
Please advice.

Windows Media Player 9 for the Mac has not been updated since 2003 so Microsoft's announcement is disingenuous to say the least. They haven't supported or developed the thing in, literally, years.
I cannot say enough good things about the Flip4Mac WMV player that allows you to view WMV files in Quicktime. There is also a browser plugin that lets WMV files play in Safari just like WMP9, only BETTER! And the player is now FREE. Strangely, Microsoft is even recommending it as a replacement for WMP9. It works perfectly on sites like CNN that use Windows Media Player for their video content and is compatible with more codecs than WMP9. Check out Microsoft's website for information and download.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/flip4mac.mspx
I highly recommend you download and install the Flip4Mac WMV Player. You can say goodbye and good riddance to WMP9.

Windows media is corrupt, I have QuickTime but don't know how to make the change, can you please help me?

Hi, I am new to you and I am having problems with my Windows Media. I ran a fix it test on it and it came back saying that the player is corrupt and can not read the dll. Plus I have gotten pop-ups saying the script on the page had quit running 2 or 3 times, that's what made me check it. I have Quick Time on here, I have never used it before. How do I properly go about making the the switch? Do I delite the Windows Media? Do I need to do anything to QuickTime other than just open it? Thank you so much for your time & help.

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

How to get quicktime files to play in Windows Media Player...

Hello. I've got a Mac and use iMovie to create vid's. I need them to export in a format that can be played in Windows Media Player on a PC. I've installed WMV (even bought the Studio version) and they were converted to mp4 files. They play great on the PC using Quicktime in the mp4 format, but when opening them into windows media player I keep getting a codec error. Is there anyway to get around this? Unfortunately, they have to be played on a PC in media player to be presented. Thanks for your time once again!

Your bought WMV? Do you mean Flip4mac? If you just mean the ancient Windows Media Player for Mac, it won't work.
Reading this set of directions you export to WMV and name the file with a WMV extension:
http://www.flip4mac.com/pdfs/Flip4MacWMVQuickStart.pdf
If you don't have Flip4mac, that is, the $50 version, not the $29 version, you can't export, just import.

Windows Media Player plugin & Safari - Quicktime opens up???

Everytime I'm on a website and I click on a video clip that is a windows media player video file (wmv), the file opens up with the quicktime plug in - and the whole wmv won't play. I have to download the clip to see the whole thing in my Windows Media Player.
How do I set up Safari so it will play wmv clips with a windows media player plug in so I don't have to download a bunch of video clips that I just wanted to see on a website.

This is what you need flip4mac. Just go to the link and download it.

Windows Media Player Extension Overrides Quicktime Plugin in IE 7 & 8

I have some .mp4 videos on my website that stream brilliantly with the Quicktime plug-in, in Firefox.
If I use IE, the information bar drops down and wants to use "Windows Media Player Extension." If a user allows it, the player turns into a WMP GUI. At that point it is impossible to switch back to the Quicktime Plug-in.
I'm afraid users will allow the WMP Extension and then never be able to watch the videos. Any suggestions?

Proper html page code would "force" the QuickTime browser plug-in be used instead of Windows Media Player even if the user had the .mp4 extension assigned to it.
http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/
Free software that can write the code. You need only copy/paste it into your page.
You could also put the same codecs into a .mov container (simple Save As using QuickTime Player Pro). Nearly all users have the .mov file extension assigned to QuickTime.

Not able to open Windows Media Player files with Quicktime Pro

Hi,
I have recently downloaded a couple of videos that I am planning to use in FCP. The file extension of the downloaded videos is .asf and I am able to play them with Windows Media Player. However, to use them in FCP I have to convert them into Quicktime format. I have Quicktime Pro version 7.0.4 and I was told that I should be able to open the files in Quicktime therefore automatically converting them into quicktime files. It's not working and I am completely out of options and ideas.
Please help if you ever had that problem.
Thanks in advance

As I understand it M$ is providing additional distribution as a sort of "seal of approval."
Don't forget WMV/WMA is a proprietary codec from M$ and involves licensing. In that sense they're providing resources. Apparently the Flip4Mac folks are actually building it themselves though.
Think of it as being in the construction business and you're required to buy the lumber from only one source but you still have to build the house yourself.
I've just got done downloading the newer version and
I hope for improvements.
It looks like M$ is giving some resources to the
flip4mac creators. Maybe a M$ "plant" all along?

WVC80N - AVI recorded files cannot be viewed in Quicktime or Windows Media Player

I have tried on two seperate PCs and the AVI files will not load. I have inspected the AVI files to be ISO MPEG-4 Video V1 standard and therefore should be able to be played by Windows Media Player and Quicktime but they both complain they cannot be played. Anyone else ran into this? I should have the specific codecs by default. The error message from quicktime is that there is required software needed to play this file and I get redirected to a generic page of possible plug ins. Windows Media player gives me a generic error with a link to some random troubleshooting steps that dont apply.
As a side note Nero Showtime can open the file and play it...

To Download VLC Software, Go to http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ and download and Install the VLC Media Player on your computer. Once the Installation is completed then you will be able to play the Video Files using VLC Player.

Quicktime and windows media player question??

i have sent a quicktime file of a spot i did for a client, they like it and have uploaded it to their website, but they are getting some that say they can not view it because they only use windows media player, i know this maybe a stupid question but how can i send them a copy they can use in media player so they have both?? thanks for you help!!!

you can buy and use the WMV Studio windows media export components from Flip4Mac which wil allow you to export to a windows media format directly from FCP and other suitable QT compliant apps ...
or you can copy the file over onto your own quicktime enabled PC and use the free, and much faster, windows media encoder there.

Audio sync different between QuickTime and Windows Media Player

I've run into a new problem I've never encountered before. When playing a video on QuickTime on a Windows PC, the audio is in perfect sync. However, when I play the same QT video on Windows Media Player, the audio is out of sync by as much as three seconds. The Windows software is current. The source content is created using ProTools 10 on a Mac running Yosemite, from an original QT mp4 converted to a .mov via quicktime for import into ProTools. The output was a standard .mov. I also tried converting it to an mp4 via QT, but the result was the same.
This is a pretty alarming discovery as I now have to test any videos bounced from ProTools on a PC Windows Media Player to make sure someone doesn't view it this way, with the audio sync appearing incorrectly.
Anybody know why this happened? Or how to prevent it in the future?
