Streaming Larges Files with Quicktime

Hey guys - I am in need of some serious help. I have streamed files with quicktime before, no problem. But now I need to stream about 75 minutes worth of video. How do I do this and keep quality video and sound? I don't mind having a large file as long as it streams. But 1.2 gigabytes is a little ridiculous. I have seen this done with WMV but I am having trouble doing it with quicktime. It's very frustrating because there are so many compression packages and options within those. I would like to finish before I die. Anybody have any ideas?

Streaming ANY size file is really an issue of bandwidth out of the server. The closer the server is to a backbone and the better the connection to the backbone, the better feed you have.
Everybody sing!
The backbone connected to the T-1,
The T-1 connected...
Oh nevermind.

  • Try to open mov file with quicktime, says can't open pdf files.

    Hi to everyone,
    Suddenly I try to open a mov, any mov file, with quicktime 10.4 and some times opens the finder and nothing more, some times says that it cannot open one pdf document ( a document I actually have but never try to open with QT). some times QT says it canot open some png or jpg file.
    But I double click mov files. And the incoherence is permanent, I mean that for the same movie file says it can't open the same pdf file, and in other file the same png, or the same jpg.. it depends on the mov file I try to open.  Like if somewhere, somme kind of cache, adresse or reference is wrong.
    this is the text of one of those messages when I double click a mov file:
    "The document “phoenixRoomfillerB_v001_0104.jpg” could not be opened. QuickTime Player cannot open files in the “JPEG image” format."
    And if I try again and again, at some point QT open only the finder window.
    The weird thing is that on the finder window i can see the preview and play the preview. and the same mov files play well with VLC. And if I copy the mov file to my desktop it plays well unless QT start to open only the finder window, if that happens it does not work anymore with any file.
    The files are on an external drive with 3 partitions.
    And I make all the possible cleaning that I can:
    I am the administrator of the imac and I am the only one to use it.
    I am the owner of the volume
    I use disk utility to check and everything is ok
    I use onyx to clean as much as possible, cache, boot, volume structure, smart status, home folder permissions, kernel, extensions, QT components, etc. and everything works fine.

    Try QT v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder.

    No. To do so you need to install Flip4Mac WMV Player 2.4.4.2.

  • Large file with fstream with WS6U2

    I can't read large file (>2GB) with the stl fstream. Can anyone do this or is this a limitation of WS6U2 fstream classes. I can read large files with low level function C functions

    I thought that WS6U2 meant Forte 6 Update 2. As to more information, the OS is SunOS 5.8, the file system is NFS mounted from an HP-UX 11.00 box and it's largefile enabled. my belief is that fstream does not implement access to large files, but I can't be sure.
    Anyway, I'm not sure by what you mean by the access to the OS support for largefiles by the compiler, but as I mentioned before, I can read more then 2GB with open() and read(). My problem is with fstream. My belief is that fstream must be largefile enabled. Any idea?

  • I can't blow up PDF files with QuickTIme 10.1

    I can't blow up PDF files with QuickTIme 10.1 on my MacBook Pro 10.74. What am I doing wrong? For example, on-line menus for restaurants come up very small and only show me one page.

    I updated from within the Adobe Reader X program (Help > Check for Updates) and it tells me: No updates available. Installed: Adober Reader X (10.1.8) MUI
    Is 11.0.5 something I would have to access another way?
    Also, I'm still not sure if that would fix my problem. It seems most people with the "Access Denied" error had it fixed with the very first 10.1 update, and I have 10.1.8, so I'm not sure what's causing mine.

  • Converting mov files with Quicktime Player for iDevices

    I wasn't sure if should post this under iPad or here or at all as it is about coding, but it is about coding for Apple iDevices that can't display Flash, using Quicktime Player or QT Player 7 Pro:
    I'm trying to add the ability for Apple iDevices that can't display tutorials I created in Flash, to see them with H.264. I read that I can simply open the original tutorial that luckily is a .mov file with Quicktime Player 10 in Snow Leopard and File > Save For Web and QT will convert to H.264 and also output several files needed to upload to your server.
    But the only options are for iPhone, iPhone (cellular) and Computer. I assume an iPod would use the iPhone file, but iPad didn't exist yet.
    I chose iPhone and Computer for my test. I got 2 .m4v files a .jpg, a small .mov and a .html page with the code I needed to copy/paste to my target html page.
    Uploaded the files and could see the tutorial movie with my iPad fine. Using FireFox, I saw the beginning of the movie, then got the beachball. After a long wait, I tried a force quit and found that my Mac Pro was crashed too so had to hard shut down. Hate that.
    Rebooted the computer. Tried accessing with Safari this time and it worked fine.
    I also own Quicktime Player 7 Pro pre Snow Leopard (I'm running Snow Leopard now) and tried the conversion with it and noticed a few more config choices, like for frame rate. But the resulting code was about 29 lines of code with expected parameters versus 2 lines of code in the QT Player code which actually really surprised me. With both apps they have JavaScript references for the head tab to files on Apple's library on their site.
    So.. I'm wondering why FF and my computer crash, I did output for computer as well as iPhone. And what to do for FF users and the fact that there's no specific output for iPad, am I OK just using the iPhone output since I can see the file OK on my iPad test.
    Last, I've been reading about HTML5 versus Flash, but assume that what both my QT apps are outputting is HTML4. In the QT Player code there isn't even an embed tag, let alone the video tag I've read about, just a href to the exported Saved For Web .mov file, which I assume must point to the .m4v files that QT outputs and puts in the same folder as the other files, but there's no direct reference to them.
    Sorry for the length, or if this isn't the place for these questions, but I do want to get this right before I convert about 20 tutorials
    I wonder if I should wait until Lion and see if QT is changed to fix the FF crash and adds output for iPad?
    One last thing: when you access the converted file with an iPad, first you see a jpg of the first frame with "Click to Play" in the center. When you do, you get the movie with a play triangle which you have to press to actually start the movie. But when you access the same html file with Safari, all you have to do is click the "Click to Play" and the movie starts as expected. Bug?

    QuickTime X and QuickTime Player Pro create slightly different html code (but it all works about the same way). The "click to play" image file, a "reference" movie, multiple versions for different devices and the html code to preview the page and use as copy/paste into your Web page.
    QuickTime X has fewer options than QuickTime Player Pro. The iPhone preset works just fine on the iPad.
    Your Firefox crash may have been just coincidence and I doubt it was caused by the page code.
    You may want to wait a while longer for the HTML 5 code because browser support is still in the learning stage and millions of PC users still use out of date browsers.
    The reference movie points to the different versions of the file. The code "reads" the device and serves up the correct version for it.
    I don't own an iPad but I suspect it works like my iPod Touch. All of my QuickTime files have the play "triangle" so the click to play image style page requires two clicks on it.

  • Can't view .mov file with quicktime

    Hello. I need help viewing a .mov file with Quicktime 7.5. It was recorded on a Canon Vixia HV30 camcorder and given to me on a dvd. But when I try to view the .mov file with Quicktime, I can hear the audio but the screen is black. Sometimes, it asks me to continue to the following link:
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/components.html?os=Windows&ctype=696d64 63&csubtype=69636f64
    I'm not that computer savvy - what is wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Sorry. My "then" (above) should have been "they".
    They sent you a data DV containing the "source" from the camera and the HDV codec isn't available on your PC so you can't view the file.
    Ask the authors to convert the file using H.264 Video codec (or others) so your Windows version of QuickTime can play the file.

  • Question about opening a file with Quicktime..

    Hello,
    I would like to open some audio files with QuickTime and not iTunes.
    With Panther I used to select ALL the files i needed to modify and then select the default app. for opening them (in this case QuickTime)
    Now that I'm running Tiger when I do that all the INFO of each files opens up and I have to make the change one by one.
    Any idea?
    Many Thanks

    Use Option-Get Info.
    I don't think this changed from Panther to Tiger, however.

  • My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    My QuickTime player us not playing .avi files and says I need a codec I can't play no .avi files on QuickTime. How could I fix this because I want to play these files with QuickTime.

    Hmm . . . comes with a Utility MPEG2 Component ML app with no explanation of what it's for?
    The utility app is an "assistant PKG installer." It allows Lion and Mountain Lion users to install the older QT MPEG-2 Playback Component installer PKG file which is not allowed to run on its own under Lion or Mountain Lion since these operating systems already have a QT X only MPEG-2 component embedded in the QT embedded structure. Without this utility you would have to either copy the component from an older system to your Lion or Mountain Lion system, use Pacifist for installation, or manually open the PKG contents and transfer the component to the appropriate component folder.
    As to your "discussion" regarding the playback of AVI file types, there are really only two strategies here:
    1) You can add component support so that QT can play the files natively or
    2) You can convert the file contents to compression formats that are natively compatible with the unmodified QT component configuration.
    Each user should decide for his or her own self which approach best suits their needs for a particular source file. In most cases, conforming the system's codec component configuration to play the source file directly results in higher video quality since no transcoding takes place but this strategy will not work if a codec which is required is not available for the user's operating system. On the other hand, converter utilities tend to support more built-in codecs and are easier to use since the user does not have to concern him or herself with the nature of the particular source compression formats but at the risk of some potential loss in visual quality. As to what converter to use, once again this is a matter of personal choice. In the case of commercial converters like iSkysoft, the codecs are built in while MPEG Streamclip accesses the host operating system's QT codec component configuration. I personally prefer the free HandBrake app for AVI, MKV, TS, MTS, and M2TS conversions since it has an exceptionally full-featured X.264 GUI with some user options that 97% of users are likely to never use.

  • Playing .asf Files with Quicktime?

    I have downloaded some video files, but they are .asf files, which are played with Microsoft Windows Media Player. Is there a way I can play these and possibly convert them with Quicktime? I am using QT Pro 7.0.3. I am currently using Flip4mac to open wmv files with Quicktime, but it doesn't work for asf files. Can anyone help?

    You could probably use SnapzPro X2 ( http://www.ambrosiasw.com/utilities/snapzprox/ ) to capture the clips as they play on your desktop.

  • How to upload large file with http via post

    Hi guys,
    Does anybody know how to upload large file (>100 MB) use applet to servlet with http via post method? Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Mark.

    Hi SuckRatE
    Thanks for your reply. Could you give me some client side code to upload a large file. I use URL to connect to server. It throws out of memory exception. The part of client code is below:
    // connect to the servlet
    URL theServlet = new URL(servletLocation);
    URLConnection servletConnection = theServlet.openConnection();
    // inform the connection that we will send output and accept input
    servletConnection.setDoInput(true);
    servletConnection.setDoOutput(true);
    // Don't used a cached version of URL connection.
    servletConnection.setUseCaches (false);
    servletConnection.setDefaultUseCaches(false);
    // Specify the content type that we will send text data
    servletConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type",
    +"application/octet-stream");
    // send the user string to the servlet.
    OutputStream outStream = servletConnection.getOutputStream();
    FileInputStream filein = new FileInputStream(largeFile);
    //BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
    +(servletConnection.getInputStream()));
    //System.out.println("tempCurrent = "+in.readLine());
    byte abyte[] = new byte[2048];
    int cnt = 0;
    while((cnt = filein.read(abyte)) > 0)
    outStream.write(abyte, 0, cnt);
    filein.close();
    outStream.flush();
    outStream.close();

  • Problem viewing AVI files with quicktime plugin

    I have quicktime 7.6 and perian installed
    When I try to stream an AVI file I can hear sound but no video is displayed
    If I download the file and I then play it with quicktime everything is fine
    If I remove perian then I will be able to stream from the website but of course unable to play MKV, Divx and Xvid files
    I have removed all obsolete codecs and I am running out of ideas on what is wrong with the system

    In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them).
    However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from
    http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

  • Reading large file with JCA Adapter in OSB

    Hello,
    We are searching for a solution how to read large file (>50M) from network drive and deliver it to queue via OSB 11gR4 (10.3.4). The problem is when reading the file with JCA File Adapter. It seems that it cannot handle as large files as we have. The documentation provides a way to bypass file size limitation by using Chunk Read but it seems to require BPEL Process execution which is not possible in our environment. Does anyone know if there are ways to implement this without having BPEL Process?
    Our usecase:
    read file from network drive -> transfer with OSB -> deliver MQ
    Other options than JCA File Adapter can be considered, if anyone can advice...

    If it's a plain routing use case and no message processing is required then you may simply use OSB's FILE transport instead of JCA adapter. Create a messaging type proxy service and select request message type as "binary". Also enable the content streaming (Disk buffer, compression).
    From OSB Dev guide -
    Oracle JCA Adapter for FTP and Files – Attachments (large payload support), pre- and post-processing of files, using a re-entrant valve for processing ZIP files, content streaming, and file chunked read are not supported with Oracle Service Bus.
