Quicktime X (Snow Leopard): No More Autoplay?

I have read some developer reviews of Snow Leopard and the new Quicktime X and it looks like there is no autoplay when any Quicktime file is opened directly (opening within Quicktime X). Apparently, the files no longer begin to play automatically, rather the user has to press the play button every single time! Can this be true? How can a Quicktime "upgrade" result in this "downgrade" of what the application is capable of doing?
Any developers out there that might know of a solution before 10.5.8 users choose to upgrade to Snow Leopard yet?

As I am reading everything I can see on the QT X. There is an option some may over look for installing QT7 Pro from within SL. They said to install that if you want the full functioning version we have now as well as the new one. I am not quite understanding that yet but will continue to watch to see whats what. QTX only exports like with only 3 options and no preferences. That is very weird. I never heard of an app with no preferences. I wonder if we install the new version and not the extra option of the 7 Pro, will the new over write our pro version. Ah so many questions

  • Problem with opening .wmv files in QuickTime since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Until upgrading to Snow Leopard any .wmv files would open automatically in QT when double clicked.
    I now get an error message which says "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application".
    I can open the file by launching QT(pro) and opening it from within the player - kind of a long way round.
    Any suggestions what the fix might be would be gratefully received
    Thanks

    Hi,
    try upgrading your Flip4mac plugin to the new Beta version which supports Snow Leopard.

  • Quicktime 10 - snow leopard update

    so I upgraded to snow leopard. including quicktime 10. but when i opened up iPhoto and opened a video file, i kept using the previous version of quicktime I had, 7 something. so, being a genius, i dragged the older version into the trash, dumped it, and tried it again. this time nothing opened. I have to manually drag the files onto the new quicktime icon to get it to open.
    so, anyone know how I can set quicktime 10 as my default media application?
    thanks!
    p

    Select a file of that type in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, change the Open With entry for it to the desired application, click on Change All, and confirm the action.

    Thanks for the reply. What I mean is in 10.5, leopard, the page set up and print settings would not keep after printing the first file. Like say I'm in Preview with a .jpg open and I set the print setup to 4x6 borderless, which is a setting my wife uses a lot. If I print the file, which isn't a problem, save the settings for both page set up and printing preferences, close the file and open a different one, the preferences reset to whatever the default is.
    I've tried going into System Preferences and tooling with the Printer set up there, but there's no setting for 4x6 borderless that I can select for a default, not in 10.5.x at least.
    There were numerous threads in the 10.5 Leopard printing forum concerning this and it was an issue I hope is fixed in 10.6.

  • Snow Leopard uses more RAM?

    I just installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro and found that RAM usage is obviously a lot more than 10.5 when my system is not running any demanding programs at all. With only Mail, Safari and iTunes running, RAM usage is already more than half of my 3GB RAM, which is the maximum for my 2.33Ghz MacBook Pro. I've heard some people say that to use 10.6, you need at least 4GB RAM to make your system really meaningfully workable. Is that true? Is it really true that 10.6 itself uses more RAM than 10.5?

    If you've got the ram, SL will use it. It's supposed to be that way. Reading files from a hard drive really can't keep the OS running as fast as the other hardware can provide. New program features don't work as well with limited ram.
    I think that every new OS uses more ram than it's predecessor (same for Windows). Snow Leopard may take less hard drive space, but part of that is because code for PPC Macs has been removed.
    Every time a program has to use a hard drive to store part of it's code it's running too slow. I look forward to new memory management techniques that will allow for immediate use of the computer, but still continue to load itself into all the ram it can use. Some of this is already happening, but it will get even better.
    As the CPU's get faster, and the memory management systems become more powerful I expect to be able to use even more ram in the future. My 3 year old MBP also has a 3GB limit, but my iMac supports 8 GB of much faster ram. I don't expect to be doing the same type of work with my laptop which shipped with Tiger as I do with the iMac and will probably sell the older laptop in another year to offset part of the cost of the next killer MBP.
    Typically I need the MBP to run Windows at a clients site, and XP with 1GB assigned in Parallels has been good enough. Soon I'll need to run Windows 7 on a regular basis, and it requires 3 or 4 times as much ram as XP to get the best performance, plus the IC2D processor can use an update with a couple more cores
    Ram is still the cheapest way to help a computer perform at it's best, so when I can, I add all the ram a machine can use and expect changes in the OS and programs to eventually 'obsolete' my machines every 3 to 5 years. I say obsolete because I tend to voluntarily upgrade to the latest hardware and programs when the prices taper off a little.
    We are only seeing the beginning of what Snow Leopard can do. The more powerful programs aren't really ready for SL's performance enhancements yet, but as they come online in the next year or so I think they'll take advantage of even more ram...
    Meanwhile, there aren't any programs that really require SL and there are still a few that won't work well or at all. Leopard worked very well on my laptop.

  • Quicktime pro/Snow leopard

    I am planning to do a complete erase and reinstall of my computer to Snow Leopard which currently is running Tiger. My question is, will I lose my Quicktime pro if i do this?

  • Does Snow Leopard support more than the originally recommended 2 GB RAM?

    I have a MacBook Pro I bought in 2006 and it has 1.5 GB RAM. I know, not the best combo. So I want to upgrade it.
    Are the specs for 2GB max RAM suggested for Tiger or Leopard only?
    Would it make a difference to bump the RAM up to 4GB on my old machine now that I have Snow Leopard?

    If it's a Core Duo model the max is 2 GBs. If it's a Core 2 Duo model the max is 4 GBs but only 3 GBs will be usable so you can install 3 GBs or 4 GBs with the same net result.
    These limits are hardware determined. The OS does not affect it in any way.

  • Quicktime X, Snow Leopard and "record" video @ 30fps?

    I finally got the Logitech Vision Pro camera, and it records my video at 30fps.
    I was about to upgrade to Snow Leopard, but I tried QT X & QT7 on my friends MBP after he installed SL, and we could not get the same camera... at the same settings to get 30fps. (low motion blur).
    I plugged the camera back in my MBP (10.5.8) and get the 30fps every time.
    I'd like to install SL but this is holding me back. It took me a long time to finally find a solution to be able to record with a webcam at 30fps.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Please post here if you can figure out how to get 30 fps.
    I need to capture my hands on the guitar without blurring for sharing quick ideas.
    Also.. overhead piano.
    I had finally solved it, but Snow Leopard has taken it away for some reason.
    Thanks

  • Why is Screen Recorder not showing in Quicktime on Snow LEopard?

    I need a screen recorder feature to record some  videos and presentations for uploading onto my website. With all the video and audio features included on OSX 10.6 I expected Quick Time Player to have a screen recorder feature - but no dice. There is no feature on the Quick Time menu. I have Quick Time Pro, iMove ( 09 and 06), the entire iWork suite, on an older MacBook (07) with plenty of RAM.
    I must be missing something.
    Also - will there be sound with this feature? Or must I opt for another app and if so, which one? And where are there tutorials about how best to do this? THe need must be fairly commonplace by now.
    Thanks
    RA

    Just found another post that tells me QuickTime Pro doesn't have a screen Recorder Feature. So can QT fromSnow LEopard be uploaded alongside Pro?

  • Encode Motion JPEG Quicktimes with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    I know this is a common question, but I couldn't find a definitive answer that makes sense with what I'm seeing on my computer. I'm trying to make Motion JPEG A Quicktimes (in Compressor or QuickTime Pro) but that codec is not an option in my menus. I've read that the solution is to activate "legacy encoders" in the Quicktime System Pref, but on OS 10.6.2, there is no Quicktime System Pref pane. I have Quicktime X and Quicktime Pro 7.6.3. How do I make this work?

    I don't know if you sorted this out yet, but thankfully it's quite simple. Open a Terminal window and enter the following, followed by the return key:
    +qtdefaults write LegacyCodecsEnabled yes+
    You should see the response:
    +Legacy encoders have been enabled.+
    They rid of the QT preference pane in 10.6, so this is the back door method to achieve the same end.

  • QuickTime stopped working after installing upgrading to Snow Leopard

    Hi,
    I am using a MacBook Pro and was running Mac OS X Leopard, and QuickTime worked perfectly. After I upgraded to Snow Leopard I can´t get QuickTime to work. When I try to reinstall QuickTime for Snow Leopard it tells me it is already installed.
    How will I get it to work again?

    but now I can not open QuickTime at all.
    I hate to ask, but what does this mean? Are you double-clicking or "drop" opening a movie and no player is opening? Are you simply clicking on the application icon and no player is opening but the application name does display in the top-left area of you monitor? Do you get a modal message saying something is wrong or saying the application quit unexpectedly while opening? Please try to be more specific regarding what is actually taking place as this may provide additional clues as to whether the problem is in the application, the operating system, 32-bit/64-bit mode switching/access problems, missing playback components for 32-bit routines, component list ordering conflicts, etc.

  • Quicktime quality worse under snow leopard

    hi does anyone know why the picture quality appears to be more grainy in the new quicktime on snow leopard , it was like this in leopard much sharper and overall better quality

    Recently upgraded from OS X 10.5 to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and am finding that both Quicktime Pro 7 and QT Player X save movies EXTREMELY slowly - like a factor of ten slower than before.  Can't find anything about this, but it can't be right - it's really unusable.
    Are you "saving" or "exporting/sharing" the content? (I.e., what are the containers, audio and video compression formats, and dimensions of both your source and output files?)

  • .VOB for Quicktime X in Snow Leopard

    In Leopard I purchased the MPEG 2 and Pro upgrades for Quicktime. This allowed me to open files from DVD with the extension .VOB. I could play the file (with no audio) and that is all I wanted. I can longer do this with the new Quicktime in Snow Leopard. How can Apple overlook something like this? Any help?
    Mike

    I went to the apple store and find that I would have to pay for the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You suggested there is a place to download it.
    If we don't have the component in our Utility folder (I don't) that means I must purchase?

  • Slow since upgrading from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 Snow Leopard

    Hello,
    In order to sync with my iphone I recently installed Snow Leopard on my MacBook and since then it's running very very slowly. I was wondering why this might be and what I can do to resolve it. From doing a little research it seems it might be to do with a lack of memory, but I don't seem to have that much on my mac. Any thoughts gratefully received.

    Put at least 1 GB RAM for Leo to run decently or stay with Tiger, which is reasonable with 512, but also better with 1 GB. Your machine must support at least 2 GB, if not 3 or 4, put as much as supported.
    download Mactracker, a database of all macs, identify your model, and see what memory you need and how much is supported. It is worth it. If you MB is not the first, early 2006 series with core duo, you may upgrade to last OS, Lion. if that first series, stop at Snow Leopard, but more memory is mandatory.
    Go to upper left corner (the Apple logo), click, go to About this Mac, More Info, copy serial no., then go to a site like
    http://www.appleserialnumberinfo.com/Desktop/index.php
    and see when manufactured and where + other details.
