Quicktime X progress bar

Hi,
I am trying to find out if there is a way of changing the quicktime view to a "classic" mode or something similar.
I often have videos open that are 2.5 to 3 hours long open, on the old quick time I could find a point in a video with much greater accuracy as the bar went the whole way across the screen, however on Quicktime X the progress bar is very small.
I would be very grateful if anybody knew of a way round this (other than using VLC).
Regards
David

Snow Leopard users can have two versions of QuickTime and they can both run at the same time. Each has a different GUI and feature set.
To install QuickTime player 7.6.3 insert your Snow Leopard DVD and double click the "Optional Installs" package. You'll find QuickTime Player 7.6.3 in your Applications/Utilities folder after the install.

  • Customize Quicktime Progress Bar

    Hello,
    I have a question regarding customizing an embedded quicktime player. I would like to know if there is a way to customize the progress bar of the player. Nothing too much, just the width/height and colors.
    There are several tags for customizing quicktime but i havent found anything on how to customize the progress bar.
    Can anyone please help me with this, or at least point me towards the right direction?
    Thank you,

    The QuickTime controller has been removed (hidden) and this new controller is used.
    Complicated javascript and CSS files make it work.

  • ITunes store won't load. The progress bar freezes at about 50% and I get nothing but a white screen.

    I'm running iTunes 10.5 beta 7 but this issue has been happening since I was running 9.  One day I clicked on a link for an app I saw on techcrunch and it pulled up in iTunes as being in the UK store.  I clicked ok and my iTunes hasn't worked since.  I can log into my account but can't access anything in the store or Ping.  I've googled this issue and found some similar sounding stories but none of the solutions have worked.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled, turned of the itunes store in parental settings and checked "except for iTunes U", I've uninstalled apple aplication suport and installed safari and every other option I have found and nothing has worked.
    Sometimes if I let it sit long enough what looks like an unstyled version of the store comes up but is completely unusable.
    Just to be clear, this has been happening since before I was running any beta software or OS.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you gchin.
    I emailed apple support and they got back to me, I did what he said and it's fixed! SOLUTION found- see below.
    I said:
    "I can't access the iTunes Store. When I click on it the progress bar stops at 50% and I'm left with a blank white screen (no error msg). I have uninstalled and reinstalled, run the iTunes diagnostics (it said all was ok), gone through all of the online help material and I've tried turning off my firewall. Nothing works. I can't sync my iphone either (stops on verifying iPhone so I think it's getting stuck on trying to contact the store). Plzz help."

  • Progress Bar/Fast Start

    I exported a hyperlink only movie out of Keynote 3. I then inserted into my webpage. If a person clicks on the first hyperlink to go to the next slide it only goes a few frames and then freezes. There is not enough information buffered to move it along.
    What I would like is to have some kind of download progress bar that shows up below the QuickTime so people know to wait. However, I don't want to lose the hyperlinks.
    You can see it at: www.youbelong.net > journal information > instructions
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Granny, I love your apples.
    You could try opening your movie in QuickTime Player (Pro) and then going to the Window menu, Show Movie Properties.
    Click on the Video track to select it and then click on the "Other Settings" button in the gray area below. Check the boxes for "Preload this track" and "Cache (hint)". Repeat for the Sprite track (not sure that that's necessary though) and then save the movie...

  • No progress bar when embedding/viewing QT movie.

    Hi everyone,
    I am having an issue I've not had before.
    I have setup a web page with HTML to embed a Quicktime 7 movie file (exported as a download, not as streaming since my web host doesnt support QT streaming).
    With previous versions of QT I recall seeing a progress bar while the .mov would load. However this time the user is ONLY presented with the Quicktime logo, without any hint as to how much is left to download.
    Is this a problem with the new version? How can I have the page so that the user sees the progress as it downloads (controller instead of just the "Q" logo)?
    Thanks in advance.
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    The html code must be correct for a file to "autoplay" but the file must also be saved to "Fast Start".
    If you made any edits to a previously saved fast start file you may have "broken" the fast start feature. It can be repaired by using the "Save As" menu using QuickTime Pro.
    Instructions for embedding QT content and the proper use of the "tags":
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011
    Direct linking to a QT file is bad form. You should use the proper html code to insure proper playback.

  • No progress bar during audio encoding

    Since the lack of a progress bar causes many users to think that iDVD has frozen (and forces us to resort to look into the package contents to see if this is the case,) I think that anyone who has had this problem should post a feedback enhancement request to Apple so they realize how important a feature this is.

    I filed a report and I'll bet a lot of other Apple users have filed a report. In Dec. 2005, Apple released a bulletin on this encoding problem - their solution was to just wait it out.
    A recent post in this forum indicated that the person called Apple Care and received the standard answer - wait it out.
    In case you haven't read the other posts, you can do one of the following:
    1. From iMovie - export as a Quicktime movie, then reload into a new iMovie project OR.
    2. Export iMovie to a video camera and then reload back into a new iMovie project.
    These work arounds combine the added audio to the existing video clips so when you reinsert the movie into iMovie, audio and video are combined. Then insert chapter markings, export to iDVD and you'll have your burned DVD in an hour or less - depending on your Mac's horsepower.

  • No progress bar for QT movies?

    Is there no progress bar in Safari or QT for to show the completion of downloading of embedded or separate QT movies? My .mov files just do nothing except show the big Q, say nothing, until the whole movie has been loaded.

    Hi William,
    I think I understand: You say you do "NOT want the movies to play automatically". This means that you don't want them to stream.
    In that case, I don't think there is a progress bar, unless the movie author has developed one. The built-in "progress bar" in QT is for streaming files. Even with Flash movies, the progress bar is authored; there's no automatic progress bar.
    If you do NOT want streaming, then maybe Enable Instant On should be un-checked.
    Otherwise, there are two preferences that affect a movie's automation: QuickTime >> QuickTime Preferences >> Browser >> Play movies automatically, and back up to QuickTime >> Preferences (plain ole' "Preferences") "Automatically play movies when opened".
    I happen to have the former checked, and the latter unchecked; but can't say how it affects the files (which I allow to stream).
    Have you tried the QuickTime Discussions to see if anyone has answers to your "stutter"? It might be worth searching around and posting your problem there; because it seems what you are saying is that you would want streaming if the delivery was smoother.

  • No Progress Bar during file transfer

  • Not a preloader bar, but a movie progress bar

    I have a Flash slide show, and need to be able to tell the
    viewer how far along they are within it. Something similiar to what
    you see at the bottom of a Quicktime movie. Is this possible in
    Flash?

    Gailspencer,
    > I have a Flash slide show, and need to be able to tell

    This is possible, but the complexity involved depends on how
    you've laid
    out the rest of your slide show. If your slides are linear
    along the main
    timeline, then you might just be able to tween a
    circle-shaped symbol along
    a track-shaped symbol -- no ActionScript involved. That would
    indicate
    progress but wouldn't be draggable or otherwise interactive.
    If your slide
    show is *not* linear (maybe you're using nested movie clips,
    for example)
    then the complexity increases.
    A programmed approach might take note of the total frames in
    a given
    movie clip (including the main timeline) and also take note
    of the current
    frame, then use that ratio -- frame 5 of 65, say -- to
    position a
    circle-shaped symbol along its track. To position objects
    with
    ActionScript, you simply have to set its x or y property as
    desired. In
    ActionScript 2.0, that would be _x and _y for movie clip
    symbols. In Flash,
    just about everything can be considered an object, and
    objects are defined
    by their (usually) namesake classes. Think of a class as a
    blue print or
    template used to create an object of a certain kind. Movie
    clip symbols are
    defined by the MovieClip class, non-static text fields are
    defined by the
    TextField class, and so on. Classes typically have one or
    more of the
    following categories: properties (characteristics, such as
    MovieClip._x and
    _y), methods (things the object can do, such as
    MovieClip.gotoAndPlay()),
    and events (things the object can react to, such as
    MovieClip.onRollOver).
    If you plan to use ActionScript, and the total frames /
    current frame
    idea makes sense to you, check out the MovieClip._totalframes
    and
    MovieClip._currentframe properties. Here are a handful of
    short articles
    that may give you a leg up on how to retrieve and set
    property values, use
    methods, and the like.

  • Why the Q, Not a Progress Bar?

    I have a page-o-Qs for the Quicktime movies on my iWeb page. Yes, the movies are a bit over 12MBs, but that's because I want them to retain quality. I am not willing to showcase pixelated junk.
    The trade-off seems to be that my Movies page is a page full of the Quicktime symbols -- a sure turn-off. What I want my visitors to see is a box with a progress bar showing that the movie is loading.
    Out of the question alternatives: Links to YouTube or Vimeo. I want these to live on my website only.
    My Thinking: Create a page per movie? In that case, I'd need to nest some movies. I will try that while waiting for a reply.
    Thanks in Advance!

    In case you're not aware of +.Mac Web Gallery+ as an alternative...
    You could publish your movies (via iMovie '08) to a .Mac Web Gallery and make a simple hyperlink to it from your web site. Here's info about .Mac Web Gallery:
    Or you could pseudo embed a .Mac Web Gallery into your site. Here's a video tutorial briefly showing that about half-way through:
    And to really embed a .Mac Web Gallery into a web page, use iWeb 2's HTML Snippet window:

  • Ipod won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Ipod video classic 5th gen won't play video/podcasts or audio only a black screen with the play symbol and volume/progress bar. games work fine! any ideas?

    Here's some more info.
    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?

    A month ago I applied the latest security update to an iMac CRT CD 500MHz slot load no firewire running Panther v10.3.9. At startup it does 99% of the progress bar, then hangs. I can log in to it with another Mac via my network and access my files. I can't boot from my Panther DVD because CD drive and no firewire (the HD was a transplant from an identical iMac which died). I can however boot into Single User Mode as root. I have read that trashing login prefs can fix this problem, but I don't know which file to trash in Panther. I want to run Disk Utility to correct permissions, but I don't think that's possible in Single User Mode.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks Robert, that link was very useful. Booting without extensions was the very first thing I tried I tried step 5 of the link you provided, then I manually installed Applejack and ran all 5 tests. Although fsck did correct errors and some QuickTime and iTunes permissions were bad, boot behavior is as before: hangs just before login screen. Applejack did however make boot time a bit shorter.
    I'm giving up, I'm just going to copy my data to another Mac over the network or remove the disk drive to copy the files, then just install Panther on a new hard disk and swap that one in.
    It sure limits things to have no DVD drive and no firewire.
    Thanks

  • Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

    Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

  • Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

    Hello:
    I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
    I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
    Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
    It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
    Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

    Then you have a Hardware Problem.
    Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
    Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
    To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

  • After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

    The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
    PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />
    Another possibility is to use:
    * [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
