Safari, view movies with QuickTime problems

Problem with quicktime plugin in safari.
Safari dont play movies.

Thanks for the link to the film adaptation of Pullman's 'Northern Lights' trilogy - looks promising!
Sorry, back to the problem at hand:
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
Assuming you already run OS 10.4.9 or above (but this has not been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
Adobe FlashPlayer from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
In Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
The world should now be your oyster!
You should also have the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.

I purchased a Shakira movie (HD). I watch it OK in my PC, but when trying to watch it in my TV using Apple TV I get an endless rolling wheel. I can watch other Apple Store movies with no problem. Any ideas of what's going on?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try repopulating iTunes with the problematic files.

Need Help viewing Podcast with Quicktime

I'm having difficulty viewing my podcast movies in quicktime 7.1.5 When I start watching a podcast movie (the Russell Brown photoshop lessons) , it will suddenly change to white/yellow. As soon as I move my mouse, it will become normal again. If I keep moving my mouse constantly, it won't morph into the white/yellow visual. Your help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!

If it won't work natively, that is in QT alone, and needs the browser for proper functionality I would have a look around to see what codecs you have installed. I would also be curious as to what was used to make the podcasts you are watching, there might be some incompatibility issues. Also, you say things are great when you are using your mouse, perhaps this forces the system to focus it's resources on the Quicktime player. IM me if I can be of help

I cannot open my movies with Quicktime or imovie

Hi - I've run into a major hurdle. I try to export a movie as a Quicktime file, self-contained with audio and video. Each time I export it and try to open it with Quicktime or imovie, those applications crash. It was working fine a week ago. Have Final Cut Express 3.5.1 and Quicktime 7.1.3. Please help as this is really messing up my progress towards a deadline!!!

Here's two paths which might help:
1) Try opening the saved movie in FCE (not iMovie)
2) Try saving it as a reference file (not self-contained option) and see if that will open in FCE or Quicktime
Are you using 'save as quicktime movie' or 'quicktime conversion'? And what is your final target codec and settings?

Loaded movie with sound problem

I have some movies with attached sound. The movie uses the
sound position property and preset cue times to drive action in the
movie. They play fine on their own but when they are loaded into
another movie using either loadMovie or loadMovieNum, the sound
does not play and the cue driven action don't work. I made sure to
set the _lockroot property to true in the loading clip with
loadMovie and also put it in the original movie and tried using
loadMovieNum.
What happened to the sound?

when instantiating your sound object try:

How can I record parts of movies with Quicktime on my i5 Macbook Pro?

I love the options Quicktime offers me in screen recording. Before I went over to the "Mac-Side" I played around with different Windows-based screen recording software but couldnt find any that offered seamless recording. Quicktime gives me just that. My problem, however, is this. Whenever I try to record a movie or video clip with screen recording, all I can see of the video is a bunch of white and grey blocks. Why is this? Is there an option I need to click or a specific resolution I need to record in so I can clip parts of videos?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Not that way, no. As to how you could do it, the hosts here don't like discussion of such things... Movie studios would be disturbed at the idea of putting their movies in the iTunes Store if the Apple site was being used to discuss potential piracy methods.
So, I could tell you, but then they'd have to kill you. (Or remove my post maybe. )

PDFs won't open in Safari; blank screen with Quicktime logo opens instead

When I click on a link to a PDF file within a Safari browser window, the PDF file does not open (in Acrobat or Acrobat Reader) as desired, or as it once did. Rather, now a new window opens with a Quicktime logo showing agains an otherwise blank white field and no other info is present. I can't seem to open any PDF files from any web source, nor can I right click to download them to my computer for opening later. I have read other postings on this subject, and upon opening my library/internet plug-ins folder, I find that no plug-ins at all are present.
How can I get Safari to open PDFs normally? I can't seem to find any relevant preference settings in either Safari or Acrobat which have any effect on this problem.
My operating system is 10.3.9, and my version of Safari is 1.3.2. My version of Acrobat reader is 7.0.9, and my version of Acrobat is 5.0.5. Thanks for any advice...!

I downloaded a movie with Quicktime 7 Pro onto a DVD, but it won't play in my DVD player.

I downloaded a movie from the internet using Quicktime 7 Pro. I put it on a DVD so that I could watch it on my television. The disc isn't recognized and won't play on my DVD player. What can I do to get it to play?

In addition to what Gary listed - VisualHub (direct download). If you have issues with the direct download, you can obtain VisualHub directly from this site - http://www.wyodor.net/MoreEmbed/embedmedia.html

Anyway, rebooted the computer photobooth ok but slow, threw preference files relaunched fine. tried quicktime, and the image is reversedright is left and left is right how can i fix that???? Thank you for input.

I think I found the solution. Some further digging revealed that I did not have as previously assumed the latest driver for my graphics card installed. I was mislead because the manufacturer (Dell) did provide some updates, but not all of them (none in the past two years to be exact). I grabbed the newest driver kit from the ATI website and installed it. Strangely, the installer produced several errors and I get another error message at startup, but I think only the control software was affected and not the driver itself.
After some first tests, QuickTime movies behave as expected, the preview renders are working again and the crashes on exit are also gone. Yay!
Strange how much trouble a driver which is otherwise working perfectly can cause.

I may be mistaken, but I do not belive that quicktime lets you burn DVDs. Search google for a program that lets you burn quicktime movies to DVD.

Automator and Applescript to export movie with quicktime

I have started a work flow that asks for some files from a folder and then passes the list to an Applescript. So far the script is:
on run {input, parameters}
set output_items to {}
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
close every window
end tell
repeat with i in input
tell application "QuickTime Player"
open (i as alias)
-- HERE HERE HERE
close front document
end tell
end repeat
return output_items
end run
What I cannot figure out is how to get the file name excluding the extension where I have "HERE HERE HERE". I want to be able to get Quicktime to export the file to the desktop with the same file name as a Quicktime Movie. I cannot figure out how to do this...any help?

Thanks to both of you for your help.
I have made (well still in the process of finishing it up) a folder action work flow that takes movie files, converts them to an iPhone format and moves them to iTunes.
I would like to give credit where credit is due. If you guys are okay with it, can I add your info (name, email, profile on apple discussions, whatever) to the credits?
Thanks

Unable to edit movies with Quicktime Pro 7

I recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro from Quicktime 7 although I am not able to edit movies. After moving the markers to the correct postion, all of the editing commands remain greyed out (i.e. cut/copy/delete/trim to selection). I've verified that the upgrade took place properly, reinstalled, and still nothing. Any ideas?

QT does not support editing mpeg-1 or mpeg-2 video. QT Mpeg Limitations
Open the movie and check MovieInfo to see if that is the format of the clips you are attempting to edit. If it is, you can use this freeware to do some editing and also can export both sound and video to other formats with it. Mpeg StreamClip
Even if the video is not mpeg it may have been flagged by the creator to not allow editing. If you try to save such flagged videos you usually get an error message that the video cannot be saved.

Magic Move to Quicktime problem

I have a slide show that plays automatically from start to finish with music, transitions, timed up perfect with a magic move on the final slide. It works great. When I attempt to export the slideshow to a Quicktime movie, it stops on the next to the last slide and never executes (or records) the magic move. I welcome any thoughts on what is going on and how to fix the bugger... Thanks!

Well with the newer version of Quicktime and copyright protection, it is very possible that it will prevent you to export a song bought from the iTunes/apple website, becasue it violates the copyright laws.
Somethings similar could happen to songs that are "locked" becasue they have been copied from another computer. That is why mp4 replaced mp3. Higher audio quality,true, but also came with lock mechanism to prevent unauthorized use!
That is why I am staying with 10.2.8 and QT 6.5. Whn I use my wife computer, 10.3.9 and QT 7.0.3 I get some songs that do not show on the slideshows, because they came from my computer....
Hope this helps!

Streaming/playing movies with Quicktime

Whenever I click on a movie clip, the computer starts downloading the movie instead of just playing it. How can I tell QT to just play the clip without downloading/saving it?
Thank you.

I would click on a certain clip and it would play in WM or QT (without being saved).
Where or not a cached movie can be saved is another matter. Just because a movie is cached for playback does not necessarily mean it can be saved as an independent, self-sourced file, QTM, or reference file. As far as viewing on a PC is concerned, you have yet to indicate whether or not the files you were viewing were in fact real time streaming or being temporarily cached the same as QT or whether or not the files your are viewing in QT are real time screaming, being cached as progressively downloads for "fast playback," actually being saved as "standalone" files (which requires a manual save on your part), or merely QTML/Ref/Clippings which cache but actually resource data the remains online. Both the Mac and PC, as far as I know, only cache the data temporarily until the cache is filled and then reuses the cache memory applying a FIFO strategy. Under Leopard, for instance, I allocate 4 GBs of memory to caching movies so I can recall them without having to return to their source URL and reload the data.
What exactly is a RTSP file?
Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) "is a network control protocol... used to control streaming media Servers. (See RTSP Wikipedia.) Most QT content is dispensed online using normal (non-RTSS) servers to progressively download files for "fast start" playback. That is, the files load to your computer but in such a way that you don't have to wait for the entire file to download before you can begin playback. On the other hand, RTSP controls the dispensation of "packets" of dat from special Reat Time Streaming Servers (RTSS) that play immediately on your computer and are, or all intents and purposes, are gone from the computer. These types of files cannot saved locally and must be screen captured if you want to copy them. These true streaming files are the type of files found on most news, sports, and similar commercial web site. WMV and Real content were specifically designed for this purpose. QT was designed more to emulate the manner in which files are physically stored on magnetic or optical media as files of data rather than packets of data.
Not a specialist/technician speaking here, so I hope this relatively simplistic explanation suffices. That is, there are two ways of serving data and each is somewhat different. Most users prefer non-streaming data if they intend to save it (e.g., those who download and save movie trailers). Most site managers prefer streaming data when they want to prevent users from having the ability to save the content (e.g., news, sports, music radio, etc. web sites).
