Settings of Quicktime and QT Broadcaster

I must be very stupid, because even with the guide of Broadcaster I cannot make a live broadcast even on my own LAN. I use a multi pc DSL-modem with ethernet connections to two Apples.
My questions are:
- what are the exact settings for Broadcaster for a unicast brodacast?
- what are the settings for the ports to be used by Quicktime?
- should I change my ethernet settings?
The video source is a Canon Xl2.
Thx in advance.

Double click on QT or iT, nothing happens for a few seconds, then MS Windows pop-up apprears, telling "QT does not work any more" / "iTunes does not work any more" (hope my free translation makes sense - my system is in German).
Two options are available:
1) Search online for a solution and close application
2) Close application
Further, with an arrow I can make show "problem details" - that is what I then attached to my original post.
One more remark: removing/uninstalling with Vista System Control seems to work, but all the files are still available when checking with the Explorer under "Programms" - even after a restart.
Thanks for any additional input, Kuno

Lack of practical settings in Quicktime

Hi, viewing movies/video footage can be a bit of a lottery using Quicktime and amazingly this is true 'even' if referring to the same video file format let alone the countless other formats available.
Within one format, i.e. .mp4, .mkv, .avi, or other, etc. the source may have a setting that was overlooked or not changed beforehand and these can be:-
1. One of my .mp4 (H.264) 720 video clips from a holiday; when viewing you can clearly see exaggerated lines within many areas of the picture. Having previously viewed this in Final Cut Pro or DVD Studio Pro's timeline (one of those) I noticed that the problem disappeared when applying the de-interlace setting for viewing the playback in the viewer window on the 'fly' (no reprocessing, transcoding or rendering involved), this resulted in the picture being perfect! Yet frustratingly there's no such option within Quicktime.
2. Again, there's no option for correcting or at least adjusting the 'Aspect'! I have a different movie file at 720p, the quality is excellent but the aspect is slightly squashed making all circles elliptical (i.e. the included padding within the movie file needs reducing to stretch the picture vertically to make it in proportion.
3. Needs setting to correct the pixel type on the fly to either 'square' or 'rectangular'.
4. And finally. The subtitle option appears to never work. The Subtitle option within the Quicktime View options appears to be permanently shaded/ghosted-out leaving you never able to select or deselect it and often if the tick is shown (to confirm them as being set Off) does not correspond to some movie files that have subtitles still showing. I enabled Perian to try and help by setting it's 'Load external subtitles' to OFF, but this makes no difference at times, especially when some movie footage have subtitles contained within the same movie file as an internal track i.e. .mkv.
I'm not sure why Quicktime appears to be limited with regard to flexibility on the above issues and don't understand why there's not even a settings menu under the main menu quicktime tab. It can be a further hinderance to have to resort to either lengthy transcoding and tweaking, or installing another video viewer program, which is a shame because I would rather prefer the Quicktime's shell integration within Snow Leopard for things like quick-look (quick view).
Is there a deeply routed 'Quicktime - Settings' Menu within Snow Leopards operating system?
I couldn't see anything to this effect within the 'System Preferences' control panel.

Is there a deeply routed 'Quicktime - Settings' Menu within Snow Leopards operating system?
No, the settings are located in/only apply to the QT 7 "Pro" Player app.
1) High Quality/Single Field/Deinterlace settings are located in the QT 7 "Pro" Properties window.
2) While QT X only uses the PAR encoded value to set the display aspect ratio, QT 7 "Pro" Properties window allows you to turn off the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" setting and re-scale the display to user desired display dimensions which can also translate to changes in the aspect ratio.
3) With regard to broadcast/DVD standards (DV/MPEG-2) compression formats, QT 7 and QT X are Square/rectangular pixel aware and automatically display using the correct "pixel aspect" dependent on the viewing device as long as the flag is not lost. (I.e., if flag is lost, the content defaults to "square" pixel display.) In a similar manner, both apps are aware of the size of the original encode matrix dimensions and the PAR display dimensions for user custom PAR values.
4) As to subtitles, I can't help you there as I do not use them and habitually remove them as part of my normal work flow.
Basically, QT X is a "new technology" media player in its infancy. While based on "old technology," QT 7.6.6 still has more user oriented features available—especially when upgraded for "Pro" capabilities/features use.

Unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie, camera not recognized.

I am unable to capture in FCP, Quicktime and iMovie.
I have been dealing with this problem for quite a while now, and I think I have tried everything posted on these forums regarding this issue. I have been to the Quicktime, iMovie, and this FCP forum looking for the solution. Hopefully someone has a suggestion that I have missed or have not tried yet. I have a Powerbook G4 running OSX Tiger 10.4. I am running Quicktime 7.04, and FCP 4.5.
My problem is this… I am unable to capture from my Canon ZR-200 Mini DV camera, using Final Cut Pro, iMovie and also Quicktime. FCP says no camera recognized. iMovie says no camera attached, and Quicktime says no recording device found. In FCP, I am using the Firewire Basic setting, and NTSC DV settings. I have captured in FCP with the same camera several times in the past. I think the problem started when I upgraded to OSX 10.4, or one of the Quicktime upgrades.
Here are the details…
- Camera is connect via Firewire. I have tried the built in ports, as well as a Firewire Carbus card.
- OSX recognizes the Canon ZR-200 in the System Profiler, so I know the computer sees the camera.
- I have tried the camera on a Windows XP machine, and capture works perfectly, so I know the camera is functioning properly in VTR mode.
- Deleted my FCP pref’s using FCP Rescue.
- Deleted the Quicktime receipts, and re-installed Quicktime 7.04
- Reverted back to Quicktime 7.01
- Set the audio to 44.1 in the the Audio MIDI setup in the Utilities folder
- Tried the “GarageBand” fix, opening the programing, playing a few notes and closing.
- I have installed Quicktime using the program “Yank” to completely delete Quicktime and re-install.
I may have tried more solutions, but these are the fixes that I can recall.
If anyone has any others suggestions, it would be much appreciated.
Brent

Hi Brent:
Although it looks as if you have tried all of the 'fixes' that are normally suggested here, please read through this Apple Article to see if some obscure thing applies to you.

Unfortunately, the error message gives no details about what codec might be missing or what it needs.
If the file can't be opened in QT, it only means you cannot use the QT "Inspector" window to check what compression formats were used to create the file. It does not mean you can't use the Finder "Information" window to check on the compression formats or use a third party media information window (e.g., like VLC which will open many compression formats not supported natively by QT) to determine what kind of data is included in the MOV wrapper. If the file cannot be opened in any app, it is usually a good sign that the file itself is corrupted.
It's a stupid error message. Apple should do better than that.
Error trapping is quite extensive but there are still many areas which require human oversight. The message is telling you that either the container has a problem (e.g., not properly terminated, non-standard, or corrupted) or that one or more of the compression formats used is not supported by your current codec component configuration or that the data was encoded using non-standard settings or preferences not supported by QT or that the fourCC code does not match the data contained in the file or that there are timecode inconsistencies, etc., etc., etc. In short there are a near infinite number of possible problems for which it would be very difficult/nearly impossible to program error trapping depending on your sourcing of content and how you process it before it reaches the player app. Think of it like trying to play a BD disc in an DVD player.
I'll call Apple support when I get a chance.
Chances are good that they will end up sending you back here. In any case, it is often a good idea to post a sample file for examination by other QT users. At the very least, they should be able to tell you if the sample file will play on other systems which would indicate whether or not the file itself is bad and under the best of circumstances whould allow them to examing the file in detail for various common problems.

Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later; Have been trying to fix for ages.

Hi Everyone, been struggling all day to restore my settings on my ipod, as my little brother has put a restriction password in place and made me not able to get into Safari, iTunes, Camera which I really need. I have tried everything, resetting my proxy settings, turning off the firewall, changing my network location, ran diagnostics. Everything seems fine on that, I post below my results. I also tried restoring from the device, but with the restrictions code in place I can not do so. And everytime I am dowloading the software update before the restore it comes up with 'Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later'. I have been using google for ages and am not sure what I have missed.

Hi Diesel vdub,
Did that and I tried again, download stops halfway through and comes up with same message I have already quoted. Wifi Signal is 5/5, network is working, just not letting me download via iTunes.

Mail, App Store, Quicktime and others don't work!

I downloaded OS X Mavericks but mail crashes every time i open it with my IMac.
Also App Store, Quicktime and other software don't work.
I'm really in difficult! Help me please!

Mmmmm I tried this an it didn't seem to solve my problem, but I think it helped me understand what's going on slightly more than before. I restored my system and files after my HD became corrupted by duping the drive. When I restored everything, it seems there might have been some conflicting problems with the OS and two identical users were created. So now in order to access my personalized settings and what not, I need to unlock my user settings and leave it unlocked for a few hours. This wouldn't be a problem if my MBP didn't give me kernal panics every time I run Safari or some general application for more than 10 minutes. I'm going to declare AppleCare as it's been under 3 years, but want to wait before my replacement iMac comes. Thank you for your help.

Hi,
Trying a 'Find' in the 'Web Application Designer', for this template.
If not available, go to 'RSA1', 'BI Content', choose 'BEX Web Template' and double-click on 'Select Objects'. The template should be here.
Highlight and 'Transfer Selections' and you will install the template.
Now try your broadcasting again.
If it still does not work, you will need to go via 'SPRO' - just reply and I will explain if the first part above does not solve it.

Exporting HD Sizes for Quicktime and AVI?

Okay, LOVE the new CS4, but have a problem.
For tech notes in case it means anything, I'm shooting with a JVC HD-110, editing M2T files. Everything in THAT respect works perfectly - NOW I even have an FS5 drive so it goes even better - dropping all capture time and processes. The Projects are all set up as HDV, 720p at 24p - basically, everything about the Project is set to HD.
When I choose Quicktime or AVI as the Export format, the only Preset options that come up are DV related. Meaning, SD... And when I have to manually type 1280x720 as the export size (upping the default from 720x480) it even reads "1,280" - not a straight "1280", get it?
The resulting render looks horrible - completely unusable - unless my goal is to simulate the old Fisher Pricer Pixel Camcorder ;-)
How do I Export from Premiere's Timeline to an HD format? Or can I download a set or HD Presets to put in the Export Settings (or something) folder for each codec?
Thank you for your time, and any thoughts-
-Lew

Oh yeah - there's a whole huge list for WMV! MAN you have options there!
No, none of those options are (or seem) available for Quicktime and AVI.
I bounce files back and forth for clients (and myself) for FX work and edits (they prefer the Quicktime Animation codec at 100% - gotta admit, it's beautiful!), and would like to do final output to HD in the end for a project I'm working on right now.

Missing registry settings for importing and burning?

When I start iTunes, I keep getting the message saying that "registry settings are missing for importing and burning CDs and DVDs. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
I've reinstalled iTunes ten times (and I've done the "Repair" option through Microsoft Window's Control Panel). Nothing works. I keep getting this message.
(I have QuickTime and RealPlayer already installed on my computer, in addition to the Microsoft Windows cd burning tools.)
Can anyone please tell me what I need to do?

I too have experienced the same problem. The fix to add an UpperFilters with "GEARAspiWDM" followed by a return only resolved the error message relating to the warning indicating that the iTunes drivers used for importing or burning CD's & DVD's are missing. While I can now import CDs to iTunes 8 still no luck in getting it to burn. I have installed the GEAR drivers and followed the steps in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302976
but to no avail. I also tried the suggestion related to Vista that appears below but to no avail. Hope Apple has spent at much time trying to eliminate this problem as I have trying to fix it!
From GEAR works:
It appears that the AFS driver does not meet Windows Vista driver signing requirements and thus is not compatible with Vista. As a result, the AFS driver prevents the GEARAspiWDM.sys driver from functioning correctly resulting in CD/DVD drives ‘disappearing’ in Windows Explorer and applications using the GEARworks API, such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost.
Solution:
Disabling the AFS driver appears to resolve the issue.
This can be done by renaming the afs.sys driver file in the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers directory to afs.txt and rebooting the system. After the reboot the CD/DVD drives should re-appear in Windows Explorer and be available in GEAR and GEARworks powered product (such as Apple iTunes and Norton Ghost).
Note that disabling the AFS driver may result in the loss of the CD recording functionality in the above mentioned software that uses the AFS driver.

Color settings in viewer and canvas?

Have been experimenting with some custom presets of the Canon XH A1.
After importing in FCP the footage seemed very colorful -- mostly much warmer.
Played the same clips in quicktime and they looked completely different, much more nuanced, natural and as intended.
Is there a way to change the color settings of the viewer and the canvas in FCP?
thanks

#49 - Quicktime movie lighter than what I see in FCP.
Shane's Stock Answer #49 - Why is the Quicktime Movie I made much lighter than what I see in my timeline in FCP?
Because it is designed to be bright enough to be seen on most monitors, some that might be too dark. But, if you want to see the same image you see in your FCP timeline, just open Quicktime, and in the Quicktime Player's preferences window under the General tab you can choose to Enable Final Cut Studio color compatibility.

Cannot reinstall Quicktime and upgrade ITunes

My wife and daughter both needed to upgrade itunes but I could not upgrade Quicktime. Someone mentioned you needed to delete quicktime which I did. I have turned off all firewalls and virsus software. When i go to down I get many error messages such as "Local_machine\software\classes\Quicktime\CLSID.
As someone mentioned I went into the registry and added 'Administrators" to the permissions. This process did not work.
Any idea how to get rid of all these"verify key" messages?
Thanks
Bob

pac_80 and Skita,
Well folks, I have spent 4 hours trying to figure this out! I did everything you asked me. I changed the settings under users, I erased all the ipod, itunes, and quicktime files, exactly as instructed.
I went back on, and downloaded quicktime ( one of you suggested just downloading quicKtime separately, but for the life of me, I could not find it) because everytime it wants to downloaded both quicktime and itunes.
I still get the same message:
COULD NOT OPEN KEY
HKEYLOCALMACHINE-\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\QUICKTIME.QUCIKTIME\CLSID
VERIFY THAT YOU HAVE SUFFICIENT ACCESS TO THAT KEY.
One of you gave me a thread to where I go to the registry and change the settings. I tried this but unfortunately there is no way to change it as per the instructions.
In addition, both users are administrators.
I guess I have a few options:
try to find a way to download just quicktime (cannot find the link)
go back into the registry and delete ALL lines with quicktime (not too sure what would happen)
or
give up!
Any other suggestions to help this usually cool under pressure person would be appreciated!
Thanks Bob

Ideal HD settings for projects and exports

Hi all I have just upgraded to Hi def I am using a canon XH A1s camcorder recording to compact Flash cards via Focus FS-CF Pro and i am having several issues including de-interlacing of footage exported movies various qualities from pin sharp to pixcellation the end quality compaired to the sd footage I was getting from a Canon XLS 2 pro is inferior.
So I need Help..... can anyone reccomend what my capture settings should be and the Ideal export settings (Quicktime) I would appreciate any help you guys can provide.

this is related to FCP not imovie
You neglected to say that in your initial question. In any event, you can't make HD video discs with iDVD. Since you mention using Toast and a Blu-ray burner in another of your post, why not ask your questions in the Roxio Toast Support Forums? http://forums.support.roxio.com/

Keynote export options using Quicktime and iDVD

I am not happy with the output of HD Keynotes exported to iDVD...they work well with triggering the events with a click but the fonts look blocky. There is no way to upgrade the export settings to improve the quality.
I'm trying to squeeze as much out of Keynote as possible... and it seems I'm hitting a few problems.
Exporting the same Keynote to QT gets the clarity I want...because I can select the higher settings...and I can even "click" to trigger the events in QT Pro on my MBP... but as soon as I burn it in iDVD the clicks fail.
I am hoping to combine the clickability of the export to iDVD movie with the quality of the export to QT movie.
And I am soooo close.... I have discovered that the "clickability" seems to be controlled by a layer in the file called a Presentation Pause Track (found when I look at the movie properties).
Have you come across this before?
My plan was to extract the track and then add it to the hi res QT movie!!! I burnt the resulting QT to iDVD and the clicks were there!!! But the were all out of sync!
I discovered the Presentation Pause Track is a different length than the QT export... and even when I've subsequently added the PPtrack using "add to selection and scale" it is still out of whack!
Your help, guidance, commiserations would be appreciated...
Surely there is a way to have my HD Quicktime cake and eat it too!

Cheers Brian
I'm green with envy re the 8 core Mac Pro!
To add to the info: I'm trying to find out how you can export to QT and iDVD and get a 2 movies of the same length... which should allow me to copy the pause track over and not lose sync with the clicks.
My latest test involves a 2 page Keynote (HD res) and the resulting QT export gave me a movie of 43 seconds while the iDVD export came out 57 seconds...
That's with the default settings for slide and build duration of 5 and 2 sec. (could that represent 2 pages of 5 + 2 sec?)
iDVD lets you alter these settings but to a minimum of 1 sec for each... QT export doesn't let you change these except for a self playing movie... so I'm now testing a self paced QT set at 1 and 1 sec and an iDVD set to 1 and 1 and see what happens...
Do you think I'm on the right track or am I wasting my time?
At least 8 cores might help reach theat conclusion a little faster!!

Quicktime and Safari

Hi,
After updating Quicktime (Pro) to 7.0.4 both Safari and Firefox have stopped loading quicktime content in web pages.
For example, when I view trailers on Apple Trailers, the quicktime Q appears and then a question mark is imposed on top of it.
Elsewhere on these forums it was suggested that I remove the file "QuickTime Plugin.webplugin" from the library. I tried this, and no change. Still the question mark.
I have also checked plugin settings in System Prefs and Safari. All seem to be in order, with the correct file extensions flagged for quicktime, and plugins enabled in Safari.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Sorry I can offer you no help. I'm having the same problem. Although not with all pages that use Quicktime. I'm able to view the trailers from it's own website, but with not with most other pages elsewhere.
Hopefully someone can help us out. Thanks for posting the question, I thought I had done someting wrong in updating or something.

Quicktime and mono files...

Why can't QuickTime play mono files? From the Finder or as an open file.
And how do I go about getting QuickTime to play mono files? Perhaps some setting has been altered that I'm not aware of.

I previously posted a fix that didn't work out but if someone is still trying to figure this out I made a discovery today. My mail app would no longer play my voice mail wave files from inside the actual emails. When I played through the internal speaker i heard it fine but through my sound card nothing. I had noticed that the files were mono and if I opened them in quicktime and reassigned the mono channel to right or left I could hear it but I didn't know how to change the way quicktime would rout mono files by default. Today I had some time to kill so I experimented. I found that on my system with my sound card the solution was to go to the speaker configuration setting in the audio devices panel of the audio midi setup window. There I went to the multi channel setting and switched it from 5.1 surround to stereo. Perfect sound from my mono file now on both speakers for the first time. I had to close and restart my apps to be sure these settings had worked. A little more work showed that the mono sound was previously being routed to the center channel which was not connected on my system. It appears to have resolved my issue but why the importance of these setting was never mentioned by apple is beyond me. If this works for anyone else let me know.
