Snow Leopard QuickTime Flip4Mac

Hi, I'm hoping you can help me with a problem I am having with my imac and Snow Leopard (and another with XP Explorer under bootcamp). I have an imac with 1gb of memory. I found a web site that has some great videos that I want in my iphone. I have (so far) 4 of their videos in my iphone that I just watched on my hdtv via a component cable to my iphone--so I have had some luck. On the web site of
http://www.embroiderylibraryprojects.com, I was able to click on the video, wait for it to load to my imac, then click to download video to my desktop (making sure that I added BERNINA to precede the assigned name to the video.) Then I was able to click on the video on my desktop and select itunes so that the video would be imported into itunes
and become part of a smart playlist of anything that has the name BERNINA in it. Then I was able to sync the videos to my iphone.
Today, I watched an online video on Thick Threads but it was cut short (so was Clocks). I updated my Flip4Mac, but it didn't help. I tried Firefox, but had the same problem. So, I thought, maybe the video on the web site might have been cut short, so I went to XP and used Internet Explorer to view the video. With Explorer, I can hear the entire video (it isn't cut short), but the video is ugly (look like ghosts) and I didn't see where I could download the video, and then xfer it via flash drive to SL, so I could get it into itunes.
Does anyone have any idea of what I need to do in order to get complete videos onto my desktop? (I haven't yet had a lesson on my embroidery module of my Bernina 440qe, but I was having fun viewing these videos in preparation for my lessons.) Thanks for any help you can give.

HI,
If your profile is correct and you are running 10.5.4, then to go the Apple Menu / Software Updates.
The most recent Mac OS X version is 10.5.8.
You could also try Firefox as an alternative browser to Safari.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/mozillafirefox.html
As with any updates, repair disk permissions afterwards.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Snow Leopard, quicktime H264 playback, cinema speakers cause video freezing

I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 on an early 2009 MBP 17 (2.66ghz) with 9400 and 9600 graphics chipsets. This version of Snow Leopard supports hardware-accelerated H264 video playback on the 9400 chipset. I have a 1080p video which plays back flawlessly using Snow Leopard's Quicktime player with hardware accelerated decoding (averages less than 5% of the CPU during playback of 1080p video).
Since I added the Apple Cinema Display 24 (ACD24) with its built-in USB speakers, I can no longer play this video back smoothly with the ACD's speakers in use for the sound. This setup causes frequent video playback pauses and freeze-frames (sound continues to play).
If I switch the system audio back to the MBP's built-in speakers, the playback immediately returns to being flawless.
I've also noticed that Windows 7 under Bootcamp does not work very well with these speakers, which frequently pop and click under Windows 7 when music or video is being played.
Any suggestions for troubleshooting these problems?

I seem to have fixed it.. I spent an hour troubleshooting. I logged into my vanilla guest account and the glitches were still there, so I knew if the problem was from 3rd party software, it was installed system-wide or at least for all users. So I removed all my 3rd party PreferencePanes and the problem disappeared. I slowly added them a couple at a time and the culprit was the Unsanity software (Application Enhancer, FruitMenu, MenuMaster, etc) .. I went to their site and the last update is about Leopard compatibility.. lol. So I think I'm just not going to use their software anymore. Problem solved!

Creating an animation from a series of image, snow leopard Quicktime 7 fails

Quicktime 7 allowed a user to be able to select a series of images and create an movie file with a time interval..
The Quicktime 7 for Snow Leopard from the Snow Leopard Installer dvd does not allow you to select more than one image..
How can I create a movie from a series of images jpgs.s...
We do scientific work climate modeling and this was a great tool to create animations..
Where did it go.. there is no ability to do this in Quicktime X..
Does anyone know how to make this functionality work?

Ok I got it...
Just select the first frame and then you get a dialog box that sets the time interval...
It AUTOMATICALLY selects all the rest of the images if they are sequentially numbered...
doh..

Under Snow Leopard, Quicktime 10 (and 7) stutter on frame-by-frame playback

After I upgraded to Snow Leopard I found that Quicktime 10 stuttered very badly in frame-by-frame playback of .mp4 or .mov files. I use this feature very frequently to study dance videos. I pause the video with the space bar, then move forward or backward frame-by-frame using the cursor keys.
After the upgrade I went back to my Leopard back-up disk and grabbed Quicktime 7 and installed it on my laptop. Quicktime 7 has much less stutter in the playback, but it is still not as good as it was under 10.5.
This is on a January 2009 Macbook Pro with a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4 GB of RAM.
I tried changing the settings in Energy Saver to Higher Performance but that did not make any difference.
A friend of mine just bought one of the new 27-inch iMacs and I checked this issue on his computer - frame-by-frame playback is smooth.
Any suggestions or comments appreciated.
thanks
Paul

I had this problem on my old mac mini and then my new mini worked fine. I upgraded to snow leopard and this QT 10 choppy video is BACK! Get this fixed apple! Funny but, if you right click and "open with" the application grapher, it will play the choppy video smoothly/completely normal.
why can't this be resolved??? WHY WHY WHY!!!!!

FCP 7 on Snow Leopard - Quicktime gamma shift!

i am running Snow Leopard 6.0.2 and Final Cut Studio 3 in a 2008 2.8GHz Mac Pro Quad Core. My monitors are two 23" Apple Cinema Displays, both calibrated to a gamma value of 2.2.
Since upgrading to Snow Leopard i have noticed, that when exporting a Quicktime movie, color corrected using the canvas, the output file, opened with Quicktime X or 7 looks washed out. When i compare the output file with the picture in the canvas there is a big shift.
i currently do not have the budget for a professional Broadcast monitor, so i need to rely, to a certain extent on my Apple Cinema Display.
i have searched far and wide for a solution, but have been frustrated immensely.

However, when I try to download Quicktime 7 for Snow Leopard, it tells me I cant install because Quicktime X is already present.
When you say "Quicktime 7 for Snow Leopard" are you referring to the normal QT 7 download page or the special "QuickTime Player 7.6.6 for Mac OS X v10.6.3" download page? Snow Leopard requires a special version of the QT 7 Player that gets installed in the "Applications > Utilities" folder.

Snow Leopard Quicktime Export?

I used to have Quicktime Pro, which had an Export option in the File menu. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, that function has disappeared. How do you convert video formats now?

Thanks Capt Kirk.
Apple’s Share button hints at a simplified method of converting and exporting video. Whereas QuickTime 7 has an Export option that let you choose from different codecs and customize your audio and video options, QuickTime X only has the aforementioned Share choices as well as slightly-updated version of the Save For Web option of QuickTime 7, and a Save As menu item that offers presets for Apple devices and 480p and 720p videos. Interestingly, applications such as iMovie—which are built on QuickTime—still offer the same custom export options as they did under Leopard. If you really want to customize output, QuickTime 7 Pro is still an option if you have it.

Snow Leopard Quicktime No Apple+J Audio

Hey!
I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard from Leopard.
I used to use Quicktime Pro.
It had this really nice feature of 'Apple + J' which would bring up
the movie properties of the audio and video track. I use to just delete
the audio but deleting it and now it seems in Snow Leopard it doesn't have this option anymore.
Does anyone know how to delete the Audio out?
Thanks,
Dan

I'm having Audio/Video syncing issues and thought it could be resolved in some way but i don't see anything in the Utilities folder for Quicktime X

Snow Leopard Quicktime plug-in won't work with VR movie

I'm trying to view a ship stateroom on royal caribbean's site (just dreaming....)
Here's the url:
http://www.royalcaribbean.com/multimedia/popup/cabin.do?br=R&cabincls=B&cabinTyp e=DO&shipCode=EX&popuptype=virtualTour&shipName=Explorer+Of+The+Seas
When I try it on my intel laptop under os 10.6.8, safari 5.1.7, quicktime plug-in 7.6.6, I get a bunch of gobbledygook on the screen. If I try it with firefox, I get a "missing plug-in" message but it's unable to find the required plug-in.
However, if I try it on my good old ppc imac, under os 10.4.11, safari 4.1.3, quicktime plug-in 7.6.4, it works perfectly.
Anyone have any good ideas? It couldn't be that the newer software is incompatible with older sites? That'd be bad. I hope there's an easy solution to this.
Thanks!

Thanks, but it didn't work for me. I did click on your link (a bit different from the one I'd posted) and got what appeared to be a weird text file. Since it was supposed to be a movie, I saved it with .mov extension and, sure enough, it played fine in quicktime player. However, safari did not recognize it as a movie to be played with the quicktime plugin. Weird.

Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Quicktime X YouTube Uploader BUG!

Found this bug while trying to upload a video. 3 times I tried it, and it hangs at "Publishing - About 5 seconds". It hangs there for hours until I quit the application.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgyDTxYw7Qw
I uploaded this video via YouTube web uploader.
Anybody experiencing this? Any cause? Any Fix? Thanks!

Yep I have 4 intel macs and they all have the same problem so you are not alone. I am going to write to all the mac magazines, I suggest everyone who has this issue do the same. It reall is awful that this fundamental feature does not work!!

Quicktime and start-up with Snow Leopard...

I just installed Snow Leopard, Quicktime X seems to be a little choppy in HD (streaming video) now and also the start up is rather slow from re-start. I only have about 5% free disk space, will this help with lagging start-up? What about my choppy Quicktime when streaming??

Yes! And possible data loss.
Most here say 15% should be available.
See things in Freeing up Disk space.
Once you have freed it up,
Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
You could have some directory corruption due to not enough disk space. Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them. Disk Utility's Disk Repair is not perfect and may not find or repair all directory issues. A stronger utility may be required to finish the job.
After that Repair Permissions.
No need to report Permissions errors....we all get them.

Snow Leopard Freezes, Reboots, Crashes, Kernel Panics

I have a Unibody MacBook Pro 15 inch, late 2008. I got it with Leopard, and I had absolutely no problems at all with it until I stupidly upgraded to Snow Leopard in September 2009. Since then my computer crashes a lot. Here is a list of problems I've had so far, most of them on seemingly random occasions:
- Kernel Panics (happened around 2 times, both while rendering a video in Final Cut Pro)
- Complete system freeze where the screen freezes on the last thing displayed, the last sound played keeps looping (if I'm in the middle of a Skype conversation or listening to music, for example) and nothing will react (including mouse, caps lock, eject key, the system won't even sleep when I close the lid) requiring a hard reset by holding the power button (happened at least 3 times). This has sometimes happened when all I was doing is listening to music on iTunes, I wasn't even touching the computer, and all of a sudden I just hear the last half second of music looping forever.
- Complete freeze where the mouse would still move, but the system would reboot automatically after a few seconds (happened once or twice)
- Reboots without any warning (happened around twice)
Basically these are my major problems, and all of these have happened in 10.6.1 and 10.6.2, except the kernel panics which have not happened (so far) since I updated to 10.6.2.
I have tried repairing permissions, it didn't change any of the above behaviours.
This is what I noticed:
These problems happen regularly, around one or two times week.
_*The problems only seem to happen when I set my computer to use the dedicated graphics instead of the integrated graphics*_ via "System Preferences > Energy Saver > Higher Performance". If I set that setting to "Better Battery Life", then the problems don't seem to happen at all.
However, I use Photoshop and Final Cut Pro a lot, so I need to set the graphics to +Higher Performance+. Dedicated graphics is one of the reasons I bought this computer, so setting it to Better Battery Life isn't a solution for me.
As I've said before, I'm running OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2, and my machine is a late 2008 Unibody MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and processor of 2.53 GHz.
I have performed an upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard, as opposed to a clean install. Trying a clean install of either Leopard or Snow Leopard will be my last resort if nothing else works, however, I am asking you whether you can think of anything else to solve my problems without having to do a clean install, as it would require lots of work and it would be a big hassle for me.
Thank you very much.

I am having the EXACT same problem, however I have an iMac (24"display, 2.93GHz, 4GB ram.) I think I've narrowed it down to Quicktime, but can't figure out a solution. I have both Quicktime Pro (7.6.3) and the version that comes with snow leopard - Quicktime 10.0.
Here is a list of applications which have been running during a freeze, shutdown or restart.
-iDVD
-Quicktime 7.6.3
-iMovie
-Safari (only when playing video)
-Adobe soundbooth (one time only)
I've tried everything from permissions repair to a clean SL re-install to everything in between.
Any ideas out there??

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 X in Snow Leopard 10.6.2 - No 32-Bit option in Get Info

My daughters school has made a solo performance she gave at Christmas available via their website but it is only available as a .wma stream. I am able to play it fine thru Quicktime X using the Flip4Mac plugin. I own Audio Hijack Pro and thought that I could just capture the performance using that but I found that AHP won't work with QTX since it's 64-bit. I found several posts saying to just use Get Info on QTX and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" option. Problem is that when I do a Get Info on QTX that option does not exist. If I look at other apps (such as Safari) I do see that option... but not for QTX. Just wondering if there is any way to force QTX to open in 32-bit mode so that I can record it from Audio Hijack Pro.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Weird. Sorry, no further ideas at this time. Perhaps someone else will have run across this and have a suggestion.
Meanwhile, you might try playing and capturing the audio file using QuickTime Player 7 which should be in your Utilities folder (if not, you can install it via the Optional Installs on your Snow Leopard install disk). That might work with Audio Hijack.
Regards.

QuickTime (Snow Leopard 10.6.1) Problem Playing Media

Hi there,
QT X doesn't want to play any media files. If I click on a file on the desktop then it says "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application". However, if I open QT and then choose the same file it will play it!
Also I see that I no longer have any Preferences in QT Player main drop down menu. Is this normal? I previously had QuickTime Pro installed prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.5.8. Is there perhaps something in the upgrade that was not completed properly?
Advice on how to get QuickTime working properly would be much appreciated. Thank you for any suggestions.
Lynn

Too broad of a brush you paint with and I'm a little confused.
QuickTime (any version) doesn't play WMP (Windows Media Player) formats without the help of http://flip4mac.com. Flip4Mac does have a "beta" version that works (for most) under Snow Leopard.
MPEG-1 files will only open using QuickTime Player 7 (the one in the Utilities folder). MPEG-2 formats will require additional components sold by the Apple Store and I've not tested them with QuickTime X.
QuickTime X requires the "modern" audio and video codecs and you'll be "told" this when you try to open such a file that X can't handle. Click the button option to use QuickTime Player version 7 when that happens.
Use the Finder "Get Info" window to change the default open with app for your WMP files to QuickTime Player (after you've installed the beta software).
QuickTime Player still plays files I made in 1998. Support for Flash tracks was ended in QuickTime Player version 7.3.1 and only older versions can view them. Some of those older versions do not work (as originally designed) in conjunction with Snow Leopard.
Use the Movie Inspector window to tell us more about the files that give you trouble.

Flip4mac & Snow Leopard

Hi Am having problems with playing WMV files.
Have installed the new Flip4mac Beta, but now get a simple error message "The document .... could not be opened"
Any ideas?

Hey,
I went through the same issue after installing Snow Leopard. I did not install any beta version, what I did was copy the Flip4Mac icon into the QuickTime Player 7 Plugin folder (+Applications/Utilities - if you installed it previously with the SL DVD) (Once you get to that folder, Control-click and select Show Package Contents, there you will find the Plugin Folder)+. Once the Flip4Mac icon was copied just select the wmv file and Control-click on it to select QuickTime 7 and you should be able to watch your movie.
I don't know if it is a reasonable answer, but at least it worked for me. Hope it helps.
