Slight flicker just before a QT movies begins to play in my project...

I have several QT movies started from a mouse up script on
buttons and all set without pause control, and they all flicker a
few frames before getting revved up to play smoothly. Anyone know
how to fix this? The files start fine on their own with a smooth
fade from black. I don't think I can use transitions, as everytime
I try that in new Dir11, the program either crashes or I get
beachballs for a long time. (no matter, don't like the transitions
in Dir anyway). Well, thanks!

Good thought--worth a try! But no, it doesn't play then either.
The site IS awful (I didn't make it--I'm just troubleshooting this issue). But the code that plays this video is straight from Apple:
*<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" WIDTH="320"*
*HEIGHT="256" CODEBASE="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab">*
*<PARAM name="SRC" VALUE="Ebru.mov">*
*<PARAM name="AUTOPLAY" VALUE="true">*
*<PARAM name="CONTROLLER" VALUE="false">*
*<EMBED SRC="Ebru.mov" WIDTH="320" HEIGHT="256" AUTOPLAY="true"*
CONTROLLER="false"
PLUGINSPAGE="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/">
</EMBED>
</OBJECT>
I should mention that Safari/Snow Leopard WILL play this video when not embedded in a page: when you directly access the movie itself: http://unlimitedloveinstitute.org/media/Ebru.mov
(As for the HTML 5 video tag, I suppose that's probably testing the same thing, but for the sake of cross-platform support with the existing files, I want to figure out why the seemingly correct, time-tested QT embedding code is failing in Snow Leopard.)
Also, FWIW, I tested in Windows to confirm what others have told me: it plays in IE (once QT is installed). Interesting that several of you say it won't work in Firefox: that browser plays fine for me, even in Snow Leopard!
(The other videos on the site share the same problem but are coded in a more complex way with Javascript. So this video is the best simple test case to solve.)
Thanks, all!

  • Why do I get an error just before a rented movie finishes downloading?

    I rented a movie on my Mac, with the intention to then transfer it to my ipad 3 and watch it there. When I transfered it to the ipad, somehow something happened and it dissapear. I have been trying to re-download it whithout success because just before it finishes, and error appears.
    Anyone has any solutions?

    The error goes: err = 5102.
    I looked at other posts and it seems people are trying to delete the file complitely. It is not my case, I just want it to finish download so I can watch it on my mac or transfer it to the ipad.
    As you can see in the photo its supposed to have downloaded complitely.
    Appreciate your help!

  • Iphone 5 starts to flicker just before the UserID and Pwd dialog appear

    Is it a software problem or hardware ? If it is hardware, then I would take it to Apple store. Please advice.

    I had this same problem with my new MBP 15", but only with the USB port on the left side. The USB port on the right side worked fine. Perhaps the ports on the left don't have enough signal energy for the iPhone.
    Anyway, try using a different USB port, and if that doesn't work, perhaps you could try a powered USB hub.

    What to do?? - I just updated my iTunes to ver 11.2.1 because of the annoying messages they keep sending out.
    Now I can't play the movies and TV series I've purchased and were watchable before.
    Comes up with "This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)."
    The cheek of the matter is everytime I tried to get Apple support it comes up with a request for me to pay $54 for their support package, to fix a problem I didn't have until I complied to one of their update requests.
    End of Rant!!! - Anyone know how to fix please?

    Well, I wonder about all the responses...:)
    Anyhow, I wound up "fixing" the problem by using the System Restore disks for the Mini. It's now running Tiger 10.4.11 (with all updates) and I copied my iTunes library over. It all works now. <shrug> I have no idea what the problem was, and I'm a bit leery of upgrading it to Leopard, so I think I'll just leave well enough alone.

  • Cartridge holder makes a sound like a machine gun when it moves to the right just before printing

    Product is HP Deskjet 4440 all in one.  OS is Windows XP.  
    When the cartridge holder goes clear to the right just before printing it makes a loud noise like a machine gun just before it starts printing.  It prints fine.  But sounds like the cartridge holder is sticking and makes this machine gun like sound.

    Hi @gramdeb, 
    I see by your post that the carriage makes a loud noise when it moves to the right, but you can still print. I can help you with this.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    Remove and reinsert the cartridges, to make sure that they are correctly installed in the unit.
    I have provided this document for different areas of the printer to check for any obstructions or broken parts in the carriage path. 'Paper Jam' Message Displays on the Computer. Disregard the title.
    Did you just change out any of the cartridges?
    If you need further assistance, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    I've just found that three movies I've bought from iTunes on on my iPad are not showing up on Apple TV or anywhere other than that iPad.  What's up with that and will I lose these films if I reset this iPad?

    Thanks.  The reason this has become an issue is that I recently bought a new Macbook Air that the iPad is not synced to.  The one is was synced to was stolen.  If I want to sync this iPad to the new Air, won't it be wiped before I'm able to copy these films or am I wrong about that?

  • TS1424 Just downloaded a rental movie to my mac in SD... chose watch later ...15 min later....cannot find anywhere on this computer itunes says all available downloads have been downloaded why is this so @#$%%^ difficult!

    just downloaded a rental movie and can't locate it anywhere in itunes downloads never use to be this hard not reallu worth it but would still like to watch my movie.My account info says all purchases have been downloaded.. hmmm wbere is my movie?

    This is bad - I have an Apple automated response that they got my report on 12/6, 12/10 and 12/14, and I haven't heard anything from them since the 6th when I got one reply that told me to do things I tried before reporting the problem. Between the 6th and 10th I replied to their response 4 times and they ignored me, forcing me to report a problem with two more items that wont download but getting no response.
    How do they get away with this kind of behavior, especially for someone with FIVE Core 2 Duo macs and thousands of dollars of of iTunes store purchases? I'm getting really ******.

  • Help: Data validation before commit or move to next record

    The form that I am working on allows data insert. It needs to have a feature to inform the end user for incomplete field(s) before commit_form or move to next record for updating. Please let me know how you would do it.
    Thank you,
    Jimmy

    To prevent cursor movement out of a field in a When-validate trigger, all you do is    Raise Form_trigger_failure;However, if the field is null and the user does not enter anything while tabbing through, or just clicking in then clicking somewhere else, the When-validate-item trigger does not run. You have to specifically check if the field is null in the When-validate-record trigger.

  • Image jumping just before transition

    I'm using iDVD and still images (ie JPEGS) to make slideshows for burning onto DVD and playing on the television, I find that it's ok apart from a very slight jump or shake in the image just before the transition between images. Is this a problem with iDVD or the way it's burnt to disk?
    PS I've noticed that if I make the slidehow up in iPhoto and export the whole slideshow into iDVD it seems ok - it just seems a long way round when I could l do it all in iDVD.

    can you put a screenshot of your timeline with the still images on it here ???? that might help us see what your transistions
    are doing etc...tell us more about what transition you're using ( cross dissolve ? ..) stuff like that...

  • The file "Acceptance Letter.pages" doesn't exist. Since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro I cannot save or export from Pages. Just get the message at beginning of this post. How to solve problem?

    I cannot save or export from Pages since installing Yosemite on MacBook Pro . I just get the message at beginning of this post “Acceptance Letter.pages” doesn’t exist or whatever file title I have inserted How to solve problem?

    Thanks Peter but I was not seeking to store with I-Cloud. In fact I never store documents with I-cloud.
    I was in fact trying to store the files to Documents, which is where I usually keep such things.
    Have now discovered that if I leave the file untiled and simply close it, rather than saving it then it will save, oddly, to Documents. I then have to re-title it and move to the folder I want it in.
    Despite the above, even once it is titled and saved in Documents then if I reopen it I still cannot then Export it to a Word or PDF file. I still just get the message . xxxxxx.pages does not exist!
    Bad news as I am constantly exporting documents to Word and PDF to send to others who do not use a Mac

  • HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
    i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
    But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
    my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
    the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

  • How can I retrieve the temporary backup which is done just before ios 5 update?

    How can I retrieve the temporary backup which is done just before ios 5 update? Because I set up wrongly as new iphone and want to retrive the backup before the ios 5 update. But I never sync to itune before. When I find the previous backups, I can find only one backup which is done after ios 5 update.

    I've never faced this case myself, but from the documentation it would seem that the INSTEAD OF DELETE is also a FOR EACH ROW trigger. Therefore, you don't really have to worry about the actual "where" clause of the original "delete" operation: Oracle has it all parsed for you, so you just need to redirect, in turn, each view record being deleted to the appropriate table.
    In extenso: for your
    delete vt12 where m = 1;
    => the INSTEAD OF trigger fires once for all records in vt12 where m=1, and I would guess that you trigger code should look like:
    begin
    delete from t1 where m = :old.m and n = :old.n and o = :old.o;
    delete from t2 where a = :old.m and b = :old.n and c = :old.o;
    end;
    It's a bit of overkill compared to the "where" clause of the original "delete" statement, but it should do the job...
    BTW, if by any luck you do have some primary key on tables t1 and t2 (say: columns o and c respectively), then obviously you can make the thing simpler:
    begin
    delete from t1 where o = :old.o;
    delete from t2 where c = :old.o;
    end;

  • I just finished creating a movie in IMovie and now want to burn it to a DVD and make it loop.  Since I just purchased this IMac it no longer comes with IDVD.  My question is how to burn and loop a dvd without IDVD.  Thanks for any help.

    I just finished creating a movie using IMovie and want to burn it to a DVD and loop it.  Since I just purchased this mac it looks like they no longer include IDVD.  Is there something out there to help me do this.  I am new to MAC and any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    There is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
    If you wish to pay for software, there are many, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
    Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates.
    Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain.
    Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates.
    Burn, I have never tried, since I have iDVD and Toast for those ocasions when I need to burn a DVD. However, since it is free, I think it is worth a try.
    Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can alsouse SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.
