Still no support for MKV files??

I read that the new Quicktime X can't play MKV files even with Perian installed. Aren't we almost in the year 2010 and Quicktime still can't play HD MKV's on it's own? So what do I do? Install QT 7 over again? MKV's should be fully supported by now because they are the most common HD file type on the internet. Get with it Apple developers!

Hi,
I have a question about HD (720 and 1080) mkv's. I installed Niceplayer so Quicktime X is now able to play mkv's. BUT! The main reason I want Quicktime X to play mkv is because most of the HD content is in mkv. My problem is is that HD content (720 and 1080) stutters like crazy. This is quite strange because when I use Plex it plays very smooth. Okay I agree that I can use Plex instead of QX but I prefer to use mac programs. The stability and usability of native mac programs is one of the main reasons I bought a mac in the first place. And the fact that Q7 stutters while playing 1080p content was one of my main reasons to immediately upgrade to Snow Leopard. So my question is, are you guys working on this? Because I can't really get why a freeware program is able to play the content while such a "sophisticated" program as QX isn't?
I love mac, but this is really a problem I like to see being solved soon.
Regards
Nick

When do we get native support for MKV?

I love Quicktime, and I mean it when I say that I am currently stuck with VLC. When can we expect MKV support for QT?
VLC is a nice player, but it just lacks the simplicity and style of QT. Too many bells and whistles, I just want to run a movie file and thats it. And I have always been a big fan of QT. Before Prerian was the answer, but they have packed their bags and gone, so that optioin won't help me either.
I wish Apple would be faster with implementing native support to new file-types as the emerge.

I suspect never from Apple or as soon as you install Perian support for the file container and the QT 7 player together with whatever codec component support that may be required for whatever particular forms of compressed data you may be using. You can, of course, request file type support be added as an enhancement in the product feedback form but likely it won't happen because then you would probably want support for all possible compression format combinations the file could possibly ever support which is the same problem AVI file containers have and Apple is, of course, trying to modernize QT in line with compression formats the support mobile (iPod, iPhone, iPasd, and TV) devices.

Still works for me under Mountain Lion (although there is no telling how long this will last). The main problem is then maintaining support for file content itself. E.g., my latest problem was learning that some of my MKV files contain WVC1 (Microsoft VC1) video and coherent DTS audio which, even after I found could be handled by the Flip4Mac codecs drop too many frames for proper playback (typical data rates are 150% that of AVCHD content and are interlaced rather than progressive), display an Windows icon when not played in a BD player, and at 29.97 fps are not always correctly supported by even the latest 3D DB compatible commercial players. (I.e., I suspect these are the types of issues Apple is trying to avoid.)

Hardly a new file container since the project is already a decade old. (I.e., MKV was supposed to be a modern, completely open source, universal file container that would likely be the successor to the containers like AVI.)

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?

Why is there no support for RTF files in Pages?
This is nuts!

You are not alone.
Actions speak louder than words, but Apple does manage to still distract many from what is self evident before them.
I am astonished by those who swear that non-existent features, or features that pre-exist the current version make Pages 5.2 a major upgrade.
An affect that does seem to wear off with familiarity, as each version of Pages 5 gets a boost in the App Store, only to see the disapproval rating surge back again.
Pages was always one of the top purchases in the App Store, now it doesn't even rate.

Thumbnails for mkv files

After installing Perian and Movist (a video player software), I believe that I have solved most of the problems for mkv files in Leopard. I can play .mkv videos in either Quicktime or Movist, and I can tap the spacebar to quicklook the video when browsing in Finder. But one thing that I cannot change is that the thumbnails for these files remains a generic icon, unlike .mov files that have thumbnails of the screens of the movie. Thus when I'm browsing with cover flow, I can only quicklook the mkv files in pop-out window, rather than playing it in the upper part of Finder as what I can do with .mov or .avi files.
Is there anyway to improve this? I know Mac may not support .mkv files as good as .mov, so I'm wondering if there's any third party softwares that I can rely on to resolve this problem? I'll be grateful if somebody could shed some lights on this.

Hope someone knows it. Thanks again!

Support for Growing files (DNxHD wrapped in MXF) from EVS in Premiere Pro?

We are using Premiere CC Pro on the Mac-plattform against a shared storage soulution. We need to be able to open growing files from an EVS system to edit soccer-highlights while the matches are still playing. The problem is that the codec is DNxHD 120 and the wrapper is MXF op1a. This works fine with a QT-wrapper, but not with a MXF-wrapper. It is not possible for us the change the wrapper on the EVS system, so we need to do something on the editing side. We have tested it, and confirmed that this works fine in Final Cut Pro and Avid, but we want to use Premiere Pro. Can you provide us with a solution? Please do not say that the solution is to use FCP... ;-) Thanks in advance for all help!

Hi Peter!
Latest version. Cc 2014 with all updates.
Mac OSX 10.10.2 Yosemite.
Error during opening. As soon as the file is closed, it opens fine.

Feature request: Slideshow module support for video files

I'm very excited about your MTS support!
Feature request: Slide show module support for video files...
Say you have 10 takes to choose from. Are you able to almost like SLIDESHOW view the 10 clips full screen so you can decide, like a playlist? Or rate them as they play? It would also be great, like SLIDESHOW to be able to export a MP4 with a title, the 10 clips you are working with, and maybe add an end title and a song, just like SLIDESHOW.
I have found editing stills like this in slideshow far faster than in any other editing program.
Basically, I just need a fast means to view or export an MP4 of a set of video clips to review. You are almost there.
great job!!!
Max

I was also disappointed that video is not supported in the slideshow module -I currently have to use another solution when I want stills mixed with videos, would be great to be ablo to keep it all in LR!

How to add support for new file type.

Using the ESDK, I would like to add support for new file type ( a new extension). this new extension will function like any other non visual code editor but will have specific syntax highlighting, code folding and explorer.
I am trying ot figure out if I need to create a new editor or use existing JDeveloper code editor and add support for new file type. Does anyone have a high level outline on how to do this using the ESDK that is specifically targeted at adding new file type support for a text based code editor?
I have looked at the Samples and keep going in multipe directions. It would be cool if there was an example that was how add syntax higlighting for new file type.
Thank you

Brian, thank you. I looked at this extension and it answered a lot of questions for me. I was going in the right direction but needed a little help and bost of confidence, this is just what I needed. I created the LanguageSupport, LanguageModel, Addin, Node and TextDocument that are specific to the new file type. I was getting hung up on how to hook this into the JDevelpoer editor. I keep thinking I have to create a custom editor but it looks like I don't have to and it looks like I can associate this file support with the editor framwork, for version 10.1.3.2, with the following in the Addin Initilize() method.
Recognizer.mapExtensionToClass(MY_EXTENSION, MyNode.class);
CodeEditor.registerNodeType(MyNode.class, MY_EXTENSION);
LanguageModule.registerModuleForFileType(new MyLanguageModule(), MY_EXTENSION);
I have done this but still not able to recognize the new file type.
At this point, I just want to be able to recognize the new file and display it's associated icon or display a messare to the message log. I put a System.out.println("test") in the Initilize() method of my addin. then I registered MyAddin in the extension.xml. JDeveloper sees this new extension and it is loaded but I have not been able to show the test message or display the new icon when I open the new file type.

OS X support for offline files

Dear all,
I have a mixed environment of workstations running both OS X and Windows that connect to file shares hosted on Windows file servers. In order to be able to manage the storage space effectively, tape based archiving was implemented using Symantec's Enterprise Vault for File System Archiving. EV and many other archiving solutions use the Windows Offline file attribute to mark a file that has been archived off and install a filter driver into Windows so that archived files can be recalled directly from Windows Explorer without requiring additional software (this is also known as a reparse point). Please note that this is different from how Microsoft intended offline files to be used for synchronising between a roaming laptop and a network share (see KB 312717).
OS X does not have any support for offline files natively, both for how Microsoft intended it to be used and for use with archiving software as a reparse point. There are a couple of offerings on the market which add the required functionality to OS X, but recent updates to OS X have rendered these offerings non-functional:
10.6.7 - I understand that Apple replaced the SMB/CIFS modules with their own code. At this point, it no longer became possible to recall archived files using said software offerings, when connecting to a Windows file server via SMB. See Apple bug ID 10836961.
10.7.4 - a kernel update is included which means said software offerings are now not able to block the icon preview in Finder. The icon preview in Finder causes archived material to be recalled which we do not want it to do (imagine the problem when using tape as the archiving platform - this will cause a huge recall job on the tape drives)
This is going to cause significant difficulties as it effectively means that we can't use archiving with OS X to manage our storage costs.
I'm writing this as I'm hoping that someone will know of a product or solution that is able to work around the 2 difficulties noted above, or that someone from Apple is going to read this and realise that this is a serious problem. The ideal that is required is to add support for the offline files, in particular reparse points, directly into OS X.
Many thanks.
A frustrated storage engineer.

Color space support for png files

kindly suggesting :
color space support for png files, requiring the support (read/write) of the chunks: iCCP, cHRM, gAMA, sRGB

Hi ChrisT,
Thanks for the suggestion. I went to:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4148...
Which is the software update page for my model. I see 10 items under Software Solutions, 8 of which are just video tutorial updates, not actual application updates (and none of those are for the Photo App). The two application updates are:
HP TouchSmart Recipe Box Application Update
HP Support Assistant Application Update
So, are you saying that PNG file types are supported in some versions of the Photo App and I don't have the correct version? Or in other words, what am I missing?
Cheers,
D

Still no support for Pentax K20D RAW???

I could understand if the camera was just announced, or just came out last week, or even last month - but this camera has been on the market for 3 months now! C'mon Apple!
Any word about when we might see support for RAW files from Pentax/Samsung CMOS cameras in Aperture or even iPhoto? Adobe is already there...

I totally agree. PEF is matched to the new CMOS sensor and you are right, the files are considerably smaller. I really hope Apple will support PEF. I have sent feedback, but I imagine if there isn't much call for it, they won't feel it's urgent.

Please add support for MXF files created by Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio

We have a Hyperdeck Studio that records DNxHD220 files in a MXF wrapper. Right now it is not possible to import them into Premiere CS5.5.
It would be great if Adobe would add support for those files.

IOS Newsstand app, add support for .folio files

Hello!
We have an iOS Newsstand app to provide our issues to our clients, and we use a PDF reader.
We would like to add support for .folio files in the app, by using a folio reader in our app.
Searching around, I've only found the specifications for the .folio files and the Adobe Content Viewer app.
Is it possible to have some more specific information on how we can make something like the Adobe Content Viewer app that we can integrate in our app?
For example how we would parse the xml files, what views/controls to use (eg. UIWebview?) etc.
Thank you very much!

Neil let clear something:
- After the .folio specification became public (with license off course) the "This really isn't possible to do" is not truth.
I believe that what people need to know is that: "Are we allowed to build a viewer?" / "Does Adobe allow programmers to give it a go?"
Before March this wasn't allowed but since the spec became public we all hope (and I believe Adobe too) that this format will have an industry standard acceptance - like the PDF. In this case many people will try to create viewers, software, builders etc.
The DPS is a great platform but VERY EXPENSIVE. Companies around the world have developed and are in a position to develop great experiences and great apps. Sharing the .folio is big and this is what we need to clear - and not the number of staff working on the DPS Viewer.
Thank you in advanced.

'open in' function not working for MKV files

Does anyone have an issue with using the 'open in' feature to play MKV files in another application? I have 3 applications that support MKV movie files but if I copy a MKV movie to GoodReader or FileBrowser and then use the 'open in' feature, it says there are no registered applications that support this file type. AVI files on the other hand work fine with all 3 applications offering themselves up in the 'open in' feature.
I have 3 media players that support MKV files and I have tred reinstalling them all with no effect. I have also tried the open in from FileBrowser, Dropbox and GoodReader and then reinstalled these apps as well but still no success so I believe it is an issue with IOS. They all work fine on my iPad 1, this issue ony affects my iPad 2 but I set this one up as a new iPad and didn't restore it from my iPad 2 so not sure why this is. I spoke with one of the DEVs who was very helpful but he couldn't replicate this issue on his iPad 2.

If "Open Containing folder" is grayed then the files are not longer in the original download location.
