Streaming .mov files through shockwave with Quicktime 7

I'm running a site (www.soundjunction.org) that streams quicktime audio and video files embedded in a shockwave player. This worked fine with QT 6.5.2 but with the upgrades to QT7.0.x, it now sticks on the 'buffering' stage forever and never loads in the movie. The same issue occurs with OSX tiger. In certain cases, loading the page with the shockwave player (embedding QT) closes the browser window without prompt. In summary, the problem occurs with
Win XP, IE 6, Shockwave 10, QT 7 public preview
Win XP, IE 6, Shockwave 10, QT 7.0.4 (latest)
Mac OSX Tiger, Safari, Shockwave 10, QT 7.0.1
Mac OSX Tiger, Safari, Shockwave 10, QT 7.0.4 (latest)
but not with
Mac OSX Tiger, Safari, Shockwave 10, QT 7.0.2
Mac OSX Tiger, Safari, Shockwave 10, QT 7.0.3
Win XP, IE 6, Shockwave 10, QT 6.5.1
Win XP, IE 6, Shockwave 10, QT 6.5.2
Previous communications with Macromedia revealed that they were aware of the incompatibility and were in communication with Apple, awaiting a solution. Can anyone help?

Here's Avids answer:
Pro50 codecs only work in Macs, so the original files need to be EXPORTED from FCP with a special codec Avid created for Mac.
So that's that issue solved ... hopefully, let's see after the next export.
But .mov files are still screwed up on my PC.
Kirk - I did reboot the machine in SafeMode, reinstalled QT, but nope - version 7.2. still doesn't play any .mov files properly that are stored on my C-drive that previously were just fine.
Thanks again.

  • Sound, but no video when streaming a quicktime file through shockwave

    When I stream a quicktime movie in the html file hosted on localhost using the Apache server, I get sound but no video. I saved the quicktime movie as part of my cast, linked to http://localhost/~username/mymovie.mov 
    When I play the quicktime movie itself in my browser, or in a projector, or just within director, the video and sound play simultaneously. But in the browser after converting the dir movie to a dcr and html file, and hosting the dcr and html files on the server, when I open the html file in my browser, only the sound plays. Anyone else encounter similar problems? Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi guys,
    here's some quick notes on how I handle shockwave videos with my projects.
    I tend to find that .swf format videos work best under all browsers using shockwave
    easiest way:
    you can do a standard import of a .swf  video straight into a your cast. (not linked)
    the problem with this is it tends to create a large dcr file for you users to download
    'preloadnetthing' way:
    upload your videos to a url location - something like  www.mywebsite.com/the_programs_title/dsmedia/videos/video1.swf
    (I never use capital letters or spaces)
    file - import - internet - <enter the full url pathname to the file>
    this will add the file to the add list
    set media to : Link to External File (Don't use Standard Import)
    now press Import
    at this point Director will try to connect to your url - and do a trial download of the linked file
    if it works you should now see a new linked video cast member added to your cast
    if it fails - (which mine tend to do half the time?) - try it again until it works.
    Here I normally view the linked videos property inspector - and change its settings - I turn loop off - and make sure preload is not set.
    now comes the code part
    To get your videos to play correctly, you will need to preload them into memory, before you play them.
    (although it's possible to stream videos - I've never been able to get this to work well - there is a whole bunch of lingo code to deal with streaming videos)
    *** a frame script for preloading a swf video ***
    on beginSprite
      floatPrecision = 2
      tellStreamStatus(TRUE)
      global gVideosName
      set TEMP to "http://www.mywebsite.com/my_program/dswmedia/videos/" & gVideosName & ".swf"
      global mynetID
      set mynetID = preloadNetThing(TEMP)
      set the text of cast "preload_results" to "0 %"
    end beginSprite
    on exitFrame
      floatPrecision = 2
      global mynetID
      pStatList = getStreamStatus(mynetID)
      if (pStatList.bytesSoFar > 0) then
        pPercentDone = (pStatList.bytesSoFar * 100) / pStatList.bytesTotal
        if pPercentDone > 99 then go NEXT
      end if
      set the text of cast "preload_results" to ((the string of pPercentDone) & " %")
      go loop
    end exitFrame
    *** a frame script for playing a swf video ***
    on beginSprite
    -- I create a blank 'place holder' cast member (a black filled rectangle) the same size as my video, on to my stage - into sprite 1
      set the visible of sprite 1 to TRUE
      set the puppet of sprite 1 to TRUE
      global gVideosName -- REM the name of my linked video cast member
      set the castNum of sprite 1 to cast gVideoName
      updateStage
      sprite(1).play()
      updateStage
    end beginSprite
    on mouseDown
      sprite(1).stop() -- This stops the SWF movie playing !!!
    end mouseDown
    on keyDown
      sprite(1).stop() -- This stops the SWF movie playing !!!
    end keyDown
    on exitFrame
        if sprite(1).playing = false then
           set the puppet of sprite 1 to FALSE
           go to "somewhere" -- REM somewhere you want to go to after the video have finished.
           abort
        end if
      go loop
    end exitFrame

  • Can't move files - white circle with white line through it?

    OsX 10:4:10
    Suddenly I cannot move files from one drive to another, or from drive to desktop. Recently updated everything.
    White circle with white line through it appears.
    Network awaiting news footage. I'm stuck. What might this be?
    Any help would be most appreciated,

    Hi megagram & dreed2,
    Thanks for staying with me on this.
    USB drive and errant file both have 'read and write' clicked. There is no 'ownership' choice in the info pop-up.
    Nor is there 'Ignore ownership on this volume' choice for the USB drive.
    I'm using an administrator account. I created a 'root' account, but it didn't seem to have any effect - didn't fix the problem. (I don't like messing around with 'root' account stuff.)
    I'm not running as a 'client in a Mac OSX Server environment'. Just as an 'admin' with the one tower and a rotating bunch of external drives (projects).
    I did a work-around for now ... shipped the 'unmoveable' file out to an ftp site (it would allow me to do this), and I haven't heard if the downloaded file is causing any problems on the other end (yet).
    If I come across a solution I'll post. It may have something weird to do with that funky drive (now returned to its owner), and me creating this particular file that same day as the funky drive was giving me problems. (Though the file was not ON the drive.)
    And the (almost new) computer did go down for a day last week ... would not reboot ... took it to the shop, nothing wrong with it, brought it home, it's been working fine ever since. Go figure.
    Thank you kindly for all your suggestions...

  • How do you burn a video file not compatible with quicktime?

    Hello all,
    I am very new at this so I apologize if the solution is very simple - i just can't seem to work this iDVD thing...
    I've searched through the forums and can't seem to find exactly what I need, please point me in the right direction if a solution has already been posted elsewhere.
    Okay, so my problem is trying to burn movies to DVD. I don't actually have to use iDVD, but it's the only solution i've come up with. My problem is when I add a movie file (lets say, something that will ONLY OPEN with VLC), and press preview, no movie files show up... but when i put in a video file that will play with quicktime, the preview works fine.
    So i suspect the preview wont play because the file is not compatible with quicktime.
    have any of you tried this? All i want is to be able to play a downloaded movie on the dvd player downstairs
    regards,
    Peter

    iDvd is not a general burn utility. However, there's a very good chance (whatever that file is) that Toast will burn it to Dvd-R. And if not (which is unlikely) then do as suggested already and use Mpegstream Clip. It's 100% free! However Mpeg 2 playback component may run you a few bucks (if needed).
    Or the alternative is to invest hundreds of dollars in Apple software and use apps like FCP and DVDSP (or FCS) along with QT Pro. Nine times out of ten this combination tends to work well ... but it ain't cheap (not to mention a rather steep learning curve).

  • How can I convert .mov files for use with other apps?

    When loading movies taken on a friend's digital camera to my PC, the video files were saved as Quicktime .mov files. I am now unable to pull those files into any other software program (I want to put them onto a CD or DVD and play on external players.) How can I convert .mov files to a .wmv or .avi or mpeg?

    Kodak Digital Camera QuickTime MOV Problems
    After battling a number of serious problems with the videos taken by my new Kodak Digital Camera, I decided to write up this page so that anyone searching the web would find out the true answers without as much grief!
    I’ve also made some other comments about my experience with the camera, in case anyone was considering buying a Kodak camera in the near future.
    I bought the camera just before Christmas 2004 in the US. At the time of writing, it is a pretty good model for domestic use—about 5.2 megapixels, costing about US$400 (or AU$600 back here in Australia). From a company as reputable as Kodak, I expected no problems.
    The first disappointing thing was that the spring inside the spring-loaded battery clip, inside the camera, came loose within days. It proved impossible to reattach it without completely dismantling the camera, which (despite my engineering qualifications) I was not willing to do. This would usually have been a warranty item, but Kodak’s warranty does not extend to other countries. I’ve since had to jam cardboard in to keep the battery clip engaged, and have taped the battery bay shut to avoid it opening accidentally when taking the camera out of the case. This works fine with the docking station (an extra AU$100!), but it means I can no longer charge the battery without the docking station (since you need to take it out to charge it). I was not impressed!
    The camera takes good photos, and I have no complaint with that. The controls and camera menus are well-designed. The large display is excellent.
    The EasyShare software is not as easy to use as it looks, has a habit of crashing, has a web update program that is always running in the background of Windows, and transferring images is nowhere as easy or quick as it should be. I’ve now uninstalled it completely, and simply copy the photos directly from the device. (If the camera memory is nearly full, and you just want to transfer the last few photos, then it’s impossible to use the EasyShare software to browse the camera’s photos without it actually downloading the whole lot through the USB cable—and it takes forever! Copying from the device directly doesn’t hit this bug.)
    The capability to take video using the camera was a great attraction when I selected it, and, if it worked properly, it would make it quite a handy little camcorder in its own right. With a 512 MB memory card in it, over an hour of video can be recorded at Video-CD quality (320 x 240 24fps video, 8 kHz audio). It’s not full digital video, but it would still be a pretty good feature for a US$400 camera. If it worked.
    The first disappointing thing about taking videos is that the optical zoom cannot be adjusted while the camera is recording. It can only be adjusted between video sequences. I don’t know why this restriction was made in the design.
    The real problems, however, start when you try to do anything with the video clips captured by the camera. Kodak has chosen to capture the videos in QuickTime format. This is fine—QuickTime is, technically, excellent—except that there is no simple way to convert QuickTime MOV files to AVI or MPEG or VCD. The Kodak software comes with a QuickTime player, so you can see the video clips on the computer you installed the software on—and they look good. Problem is that you can’t just dump those MOV files onto your Video-CD creator (it will usually want AVI or MPEG files).
    It takes some time to realise that Kodak have not even bothered to include any software with the camera that can convert these MOV files to a more useful format. This is a serious PR blunder, and anyone bitten by this is unlikely to go near the Kodak brand ever again.
    After some web searching, owners of these cameras generally find that the best (only?) freeware solution to convert MOV to AVI is Bink and Smacker’s RADtools program.
    RADtools is amazingly powerful for the price (i.e. free), but it hits two fundamental problems with Kodak Digital Camera MOV video files, that are the fault of the Kodak camera, not RADtools. (I know this because every other MOV converter hits the same problems—except one, as you will see below.)
    The first problem is that the sound cannot be converted properly. When you convert any Kodak MOV files, there is an “aliasing” of the sound at the upper frequencies. This is a technical description—you get a whispery, tinny, C3PO type of echo to everything. It really destroys the quality of the video clips (especially bad when I am trying to capture priceless memories of my 4- and 7-year-old sons—I don’t want their voices destroyed for all time).
    Every conversion program I tried ended up with the same audio problem. I concluded that it is something strange in the way the Kodak cameras store the MOV files.
    Strangely enough, I noticed that the QuickTime player didn’t distort the audio like this. The audio sounds just fine through QuickTime. More on this shortly.
    The second, more serious problem is that RADtools could not properly convert some of the video clips at all. (This problem only affected less than 10% of the clips I originally filmed, but most of those clips were very short—less than 20 seconds. It seems that the probability of this problem gets worse, the longer the clip.) RADtools would misreport the number of frames in the clip, and would stretch out a small number of frames of video (in slow motion) to match the length of the audio.
    Again, I confirmed that this is a property of some of the MOV files stored by the camera. Other conversion tools also had problems with the same MOV clips.
    After more angst, I found a number of websites in which frustrated owners of these Kodak cameras have reported the exact same problems.
    It was only then that I discovered that QuickTime itself can convert MOV files to AVI. Believe it or not, it’s built into the QuickTime Player that Kodak supplies, or that you can download free from apple.com. The problem is that you can’t use it unless you pay Apple to upgrade to QuickTime Pro.
    After realising that this would probably be the only way to get decent audio for these clips, I paid the AU$59 to Apple Australia to get the licence key that enables the extra “Pro” menu options in QuickTime.
    Sure enough, you can “Export” any MOV file to a number of formats, including AVI. And guess what? The audio comes out fine!
    So, the first piece of advice I can give is: pay Apple the US$29 (or whatever amount it is in your country) to upgrade QuickTime to QuickTime Pro.
    From here, however, there are still a few snags to untangle.
    The first is that the default settings for Exporting to AVI don’t give a great result. It defaults to the Cinepak codec, medium quality. This looks terrible compared to the original QuickTime movie. Even on maximum quality, that codec just doesn’t give good results.
    I finally found that the best option is to use the Intel Indeo Video 4.4 codec, set on maximum quality. This creates AVI files that are 10 to 20 times larger than the original MOV files, but the quality is there. If (like me) you only want the AVI files so you can dump them into your Video-CD program, then you want to keep the quality as high as possible in this first step. The extra hard disk space is not really a concern. When your VCD program converts the AVI files to MPEG, it will compress them to the usual VCD size.
    Now for the biggest snag: those problem MOV files are still a problem, even for QuickTime Pro. Unbelievably, these Kodak cameras are spitting out MOV files which have some sort of technical flaw in their data specifications. QuickTime is able to play them back fine—and that seems to be all that the Kodak engineers really checked. However, if QuickTime Pro tries to export them, then when the progress bar gets to the end, it never finishes. It just keeps going. If you check the output folder with Explorer, and keep hitting F5 to update the file listing, you can see the file getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It never stops.
    That this happens even for QuickTime itself (the native format for these files) confirms that the problem is with the software built into these Kodak cameras. It would be nice it they issued a patch or a fix. I couldn’t find one.
    Fortunately, there is a “workaround” for this problem. I found it when trolling the net trying to find solutions to all these problems. The workaround is to use QuickTime Pro’s cut and paste facility. Open the problem MOV file, then press Ctrl-A (the standard key combination for “select all”—in this case it selects the entire film clip, as you can see by the grey selection of frames at the bottom of the player). Then hit Ctrl-C (i.e. copy, which in this case copies all the frames, but not the incorrect data structure in the original MOV file). Now hit Ctrl-N (i.e. new, in this case a new MOV file or player). In this new player, press Ctrl-V (i.e. paste). Now you have a new version of the MOV file with the bad data structure exorcised. You can save this under a new name, but make sure you specify “Make movie self-contained”—otherwise, it will simply be a link to the original (bad) MOV file, which you are probably going to delete once you save the exorcised version. (You also cannot overwrite the original file, because it needs to access that to make the “self-contained” movie. You need to give it a slightly different name, save it “self-contained”, then delete the original and rename the new copy back to what you wanted it to be. A pain, I agree, but at least the **** thing works—finally!)
    The exorcised MOV file can now be used to Export to AVI format. (I also keep all the MOV files on a separate CD, in case I want to reconvert them to a different format in the future. I figure it’s better keeping the exorcised ones than the haunted ones.)
    So I hope that all this answers a few of your questions. No, you weren’t being incredibly stupid.

  • Playing .mov files from iMovie with Quitime for Windows

    Hi,
    Been searching but cannot seem to find a straight answer on this in these forums. My wife has a mac, we import all movies on to that using iMovie 08. I want to simply play the same movies on my PC. I copy the .mov files over, run them in quicktime and get audio but no video, just a black screen. Same for any other player. Quicktime Movie Inspector shows the following:
    Format: 'm2v1', 768x576, Millions, 16-bit integer (Little Endian), Left, 48:000 khz, Right, 48:000
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: 25.00
    Data size: 7.26 MB
    Rate: 5.97 mbits/sec
    Current time: 00:00:10:20
    Duration: 00:00:10:20
    Normal Size: 768x576 pixels
    Current size: 768x576 pixels
    My first prefernce would be to just find a player that I can use to run the videos on the PC without converting them. If not, then if there is a simple way to convert please let me know. I just want to play these files, not edit them.
    Cheers,
    Scott.

    The PAL sized QuickTime file is in its "raw" codecs found in iMovie.
    To view it on any other machine it should be compressed with "delivery" codecs like H.264 video and AAC audio. Do this directly in iMovie.

  • Some .mov files wont work in quicktime player(10.2) and itunes 11.

    Hi,i have quicktime player version 10.2 on my os x mountain lion (10.8.2).i am using macbook pro.the problem is i cant play some .mov files on quicktime and itunes 11.i can play this files with other media players such as vlc and quicktime player 7.My real intention was to create a playlist which includes some .mov formatted files on my itunes's sidebar.i have imported some files with the same format to the itunes without any problem but i cant these files.i even cant see these files in finder's preview.and also,i have tried to open this files in my wife's macbook pro,with os x 10.7.5,it opened and played well.
    when i try to open these files in quicktime 10.2,the quicktime windows pop ups at the same time.it's trying to open and play files but cant.

    Hi,when i use contextual menu's " get info " on .mov file,these things are written:
    Dimensions:880x660
    Codecs:Sorenson Video 3,MPEG Layer 3,PNG.
    While I personally would like to know if the PNG track is being used for the display of a PNG image in the background or foreground or for Motion-PNG video, it probably makes no playback difference here... (I.e., if you have QT 7 Pro installed, it would be nice to get a look at the "Properties" window.) However, if you regularly export to "legacy" codecs like Sorenson or Motion-PNG, then you will need to re-enable your legacy audio and/or video codecs which are, by default, disabled for export use under Mountain Lion.
    Basically, this looks like a legacy file (i.e., Sorenson/H.263 video with MP3 audio is a common FLV file codec combination). Since legacy codec support is, in general, being dropped from QT, I would normally recommend keeping both the Perian codec component package and the QT 7 player installed to handle older content which may or may not play in the QT X player any longer.
    If these feedback is not enough,can u pls suggest how i can get more information about compression type and codec component of those files ?
    If a file will not open in any media player, then the Finder's "Get Info" may provide the most basic information. If a file opens in a media player, then the best thing is to use that app's media information window (window may be called Inspector, Media Info, Clip Info, etc.) to provide additional information. One handy, independent, dedicated utility gor general use would be the free MediaInfo app which can be downloaded from the internet. Since most of my video content targets QT, iTunes, iPod, iPhone, iPad, and TV use, I normally prefer opening files in QT 7 Pro and examining the content as depicted in both the "Inspector" and "Properties" windows as depicted below:
    And also,is there any way to see which codec components i have in my quicktime player ?
    Apple "Pro" Editing and third-party add-on codec compnents are normally stored for global use in the "~/Library/Quicktime" folder. Here is the configuration for my system:
    System, add-on AppleProResDecoder, and older QT 7 MPEG-2 Playback Component are all stored for blobal use in the "~/System/Library/QuickTime" folder as seen here:
    Codec components can also be installed in similar folders for "local user" use in each user account but this practice seems to have generally ceased with the release of Snow Leopard.
    Suggest you check to see if your wife's third-party configuration includes the Perian codec component and your system does not since this is the codec which my sytsem defaults to for the playback of Sorenson/MP3 MOV content as seen here:
    Good Luck!

  • Mov file plays ok in quicktime but video is black in final cut

    I'm using Final Cut Pro X - just installed the newest version 10.1.3 and applied all updates.
    I have a .mov file that plays fine with QuickTime 7 - but when I import the file into Final Cut pro  only the audio imports.  All video frames are black.
    Not all .mov files do this - I have another that worked just fine.
    The file was created 7 years ago - probably with Final Cut Studio 2 (I no longer have any older version of FinalCut).
    Here is the info from the file that is causing problems:
    Screenshot of the import:
    Screenshot of same file opened in QuickTime - with Inspector open:
    Any suggestions on how to resolve this problem?
    Thanks -

    Thank you! 
    Looking at the properties in QT7 shows 2 Video tracks - I disabled the second and that corrected the problem - although it does show that it doesn't start until after the 1st Video track is over.  But, I can work with this - thank you.

  • Audio file as hyperlink with QuickTime export

    I am trying to export my presentation as QT .mov file in which the movie plays without the user having to manually advance each slide. Seems like it should be simple (it is in PP) but I’m stumped.
    The presentation is simple slides with no builds or transitions.
    On to each slide I dragged a small .aif file of me speaking for a few seconds.
    What I want is a QT movie that advances to the next slide when the audio is completed.
    What I am getting is a movie in which the user has to click at the end of each audio to advance to the next slide.
    My setting under the document inspector is Presentation: normal
    The four options under the QT export menu include Manual Advance (which I don’t want), Hyperlinks, Recorded Timing (does not work for a separate file on each slide), or Fixed Timing (but each audio differs in length).
    I tried making each sound a hyperlink (link to next slide) but that does not work either. The resulting movie still does not advance at the end of the audio.
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    Alan

    But think I need more step-by-step directions.
    1. I have RealPlayer (9) already.
    2. MIME settings in QuickTime Preference Pane. Set it to use RealPlayer for the Format .SMIL How?
    3. In the QuickTime Preference Pane, there is a box for .SMIL, one box only, under "Miscellaneous." It IS unchecked already. But NPR still opens with QuickTime.
    4. By "Change your Mac to use Real Player to open .SMIL files - ." I assume you mean, I will be on NPR, download a QT file and then try to change it to a RealPlayer file under "Get Info?"

  • In 10.4, an internet audio file now opens with Quicktime?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    When I was using 10.3 (and before), when clicking on an audio file on the internet, RealPlayer 9 automatically opened.
    One could see the % of the file being downloaded and then (quickly), one would automatically hear the audio clip.
    Most often, I am talking about audio clips available on NPR (National Public Radio).
    Since I have installed 10.4 (now at 10.4.3), when I click on the same audio file, now Quicktime opens instead. And then nothing happens. Quicktime opens, a Quicktime Player is seen, but I hear nothing and nothing tells me whether the audio file is being downloaded, is ready to be listened to, or anything.
    With Quicktime 7, is RealPlayer now supposedly superfluous?

  • PLEASE make PS CS6 open RED R3D movie files through Camera Raw 7 as 16 bit/channel files

    Hi All,
    Why does CS6 Photoshop only open Red R3D movies files as  8 bits per channel ???
    This is VERY disappointing , R3D movies should be opened through Camera Raw 7 as 16 bits per channel
    Hey Adobe please, Please, PLEASE make this very desirable change
    Many thanks
    Steve

    Hi Chris,
    Thanks for the prompt reply.   I understand what you are suggesting however in CS6 PS  when I open a Red R3D file (on my windows machine)
    photoshop opens the file as 8 bit/ch  WITHOUT going through ACR, not offering the option of opening it as a 16 bit file in ACR.
    I presume PS "thinks" the R3D file is just 8 bit and doesn't "know" to start up Camera Raw 7 to allow opening it as a 16 bit file
    No easy fix I'm guessin' ?
    Many thanks
    All the best
    Steve
