Swf Quicktime Pro iTunes

Until the latest OS upgrade it was possible to save .swf (in use as soundfiles) files with Quicktime Pro as .mov files. These files you could import into iTunes and play them as any other .mp3's in this program.
But after the latest OS 10.4.3 upgrade this seems to be history. Although iTunes still 'plays' the files, I can't hear them anymore.
Does anyone know about this problem and have a solution?

Thanks for the advice. Really appreciate it.
Third party software?
I moved my old QuickTime to the desktop and reinstalled using the Installer from the Apple site (this after performing an Archive and Install). It is now a bare-bones QT with no third party software.
Out of date DivX?
All DivX components removed and placed in a "quicktime plug=ins temp" folder.
Does the QuickTime browser plug-in still work as expected?
Interestingly, yes it does.

QuickTime Movie Files Won't Convert For iPod using iTunes and QuickTime Pro

I've got a ton, and I mean a ton of QuickTime movie files of music videos that I want to convert to use on the iPod. I tried using "Convert Selection For iPod" in the Advanced Menu on iTunes, but got the following message trying convert a QuickTime file of U2's Beautiful Day:
""Beautiful Day" could not be converted because this file does not allow for saving or conversion."
I purchased QuickTime Pro hoping that the features on Pro would convert the file. When I opened the same file to convert using QuickTime Pro, "Export" under the file menu was grayed out so I couldn't select it.
You'd think that an APPLE QuickTime Movie file that can be played on APPLE'S iTunes and APPLE'S QuickTime Player would be able to be converted to be used in APPLE'S iPod player. (Anybody notice how APPLE is capitalized to point out that the the hardware, software and file formats are ALL Apple?)
Instead I wasted money buying QuickTime Pro when it won't do what I specifically bought it for. Now I have all these QuickTime files which won't play on the iPod.
Can anybody provide some help or assistance on how to accomplish what I'm trying to accomplish???

If the file doesn't allow saving or conversions then it is protected by DRM (Fairplay).
Nothing can help QuickTime Pro convert protected files.

10.6, quicktime, and itunes on a macbook pro 2.53 w/ 4gb ram and ssd

Hi,
I am experiencing something extremely weird, and extremely frustrating...
What I am experiencing is that after I've been using my system for a while, I will launch quicktime, and I will get the spinning ball forever.. If I launch iTunes it will just bounce on my dock forever and not launch.
Then I have to reboot, which is sometimes impossible to do, so I will have to manually tell my system to shutdown via the terminal.
When my mac reboots, everything is fine.. Quicktime launches, iTunes launches, happy world...
... So I thought it was perhaps something that I was doing (applications that I was running, websites I was visiting etc.), but now I have evidence that it's not. Which is even more confusing. Last night, a friend wanted me to pull up something on quicktime-- I got the spinning ball.. Said "ugh, I don't understand what is up with my system". Clicked restart.. It wouldn't restart.. lauched terminal.. sudo shutdown -h now... Ok.. it's off.. turn it on.. Launch quicktime.. hooray.. there's the video..
Ok-- That was the extent of me using my computer. I left it on after that for many hours.. and eventually closed the laptop.
In the morning, opened it up.. Clicked quicktime, and.. SPINNING BALL. Had to reboot.
so, the only thing I can think is that something is occurring inactivity, or sleep, something that is causing QT and iTunes to mess up... I tried doing various tests, but could not come up with anything. I tried just running my screensaver for a while, but quicktime still comes up no problem.
Very frustrating.. I want to know if anyone else is experiencing this, and if there are any suggestions for what I should do. I have zapped p-ram, I have repaired permissions...

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
1. That's a risk, and more in a MacBook Pro, that has got everything soldered except the hard drive and memory.
2. If you want performance, buy a SSD. It will get the best performance but they are expensive, so you should consider the option to buy a SSD with a small capacity to store OS X and applications and an external disk for other data.
3. SSDs are much better than hard disk drives because they haven't got mechanical parts. You will notice this difference in read and write tasks like a startup, that will be much faster. However, in other tasks, it doesn't mind if you have a HDD or a SSD, because performance depends on the processor and graphic card. Also, you will notice a difference with a 7200 rpm hard disk.
4. You can take it to an Apple Store or reseller to see what they can do in order to repair your computer

Cannot use itunes or quicktime since buying quickTime Pro

Itunes and Quicktime were working great. I purchased the key for QuickTime Pro and input it. Now, whenever I start itunes I get "please wait while windows configures itunes..." but it never configures.
When I click "Quicktime Player" I get "Could not load or find the quicktime active X control".
I have tried running both programs as an administrator, rebooting, reinstalling, etc. The programs are both hosed.
I tried the registry edits suggested. When running AS AN ADMINISTRATOR I get "pcast cannot be opened. An error is preventing this key from being opened. Access is denied"
How do I get this working again? I'm going to challenge the charge on my credit card if I can't get my system back the way it was.

I have the same problem. Is there any soluations?

Can someone shed some light on this? (preferably before my wife gets home and kills me)

Right click/CTRL-click the mov file and tell it to play in Quicktime vs. iTunes. That's all you have to do.
In iTunes if you CTRL/right click on the file and tell it to show file , the finder will open to where iTunes has put the mov file and you can copy it to the desktop so you can see it there or to movies etc., in your home folder.

ITunes AAC import settings relative to QuickTime Pro settings

QuickTime Pro has the following two additional AAC import settings that iTunes does not have:
Quality: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Encoding Strategy: Average Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate Constrained, Constant Bit Rate
iTunes does have a Use Variable Bit Rate check box, though.
Which values for these settings does iTunes use? Is it different if you have purchased QuickTime Pro? Wlll the settings in QuickTime Pro affect iTunes?
I tried converting the same WAV file in both iTunes & QuickTime Pro. I varied the settings in QuickTime Pro, and used VBR in iTunes. The closest files that I generated in QuickTime Pro used Normal Quality with either Average Bit Rate or Variable Bit Rate (though I didn't try every permutation of settings). Both files were different than the iTunes file, however.
Thanks for any info in advance,
Ross

FWIW, you're not alone - I am hitting this bug too.
version: iTunes 10.0.1 (22)
OS: MacOS 10.6.4
machine: iMac 27", Core i7, 8GB.
I did find a workaround just now:
In my experience, when you choose "Custom..." from the "Settings:" drop list, the custom settings window flickers (as in, appears/disappears) rapidly for a couple of seconds before iTunes finally crashes and you are prompted to send a support dump to Apple.
I have found that after selecting "Custom..." and seeing the flickering custom settings window, if I very quickly hit and release Command-Tab to switch to another application (in this case Safari, with an open browser window - not sure if it makes a difference), instead of iTunes crashing, I will see iTunes bouncing away in the Dock as if it has something to say to me, and when I Command-Tab back to it, the custom settings window is sitting there, not flickering, and I have now successfully made changes to the AAC import settings in this way.
The weird thing is, I found this out a few minutes back as I was composing iTunes feedback to Apple stating how to reproduce the bug in a Safari window, and so I was carefully noting what steps I needed to take to cause the bug... after seeing the flickering custom settings window, I Command-Tab'd away from iTunes to Safari, and in doing so stumbled upon this workaround.
I hope this is of help to you,
Jason

Importing Itune tv show to quicktime pro

I am trying to create a season dvd and have some episodes in Quicktime pro and a few episodes in Itunes. How can I get Itunes to allow me to export the files to Quicktime?

The files found on the camera are MPEG-2 format and QuickTime Player Pro can't even open them without additional software:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/components.html
But QuickTime Player Pro isn't the tool for editing MPEG-2. It will not even extract the audio track during export.

Upgrading itunes without losing Quicktime Pro features

I am running Quicktime Pro 7.4.1. Is there a way to upgrade to itunes 8.0 without losing the the Pro features? When I upgraded to itunes 7.6.1.9 I lost the Quicktime Pro features and had to pay for the program again.

Your current key is good for all versions of QuickTime 7 running on Windows. QuickTime 6 and earlier keys won't work with QuickTime 7.

Can I take my home DVD's and add to itunes via windows and Quicktime pro?

I use my iphone for watching video (train commuter) and have been playing with different software to add my movies/TV dvd's to itunes. I can't find one I really like and I thought I read that I could do this via Quicktime pro, but I also thought that this feature is only avail on the Mac OS version. Can anyone confirm that it will or will not work for me? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Converting "copyright" protected video can't be discussed in these Discussions.
The Windows version of QuickTime allows the same export features found in the Mac version.

Can I use a single QuickTime Pro key on more than one computer?

I would like to use QuickTime Pro at both home (Windows Vista) and at work (Windows XP). Can I do this using a single purchased key, or do I need to buy two separate keys, one for each machine?
It's a rather stupid question, but I can't find an straightforward statement one way or the other in the FAQs. Perhaps the answer's too obvious!
Cheers,
Andrew.

Thanks! I thought this would probably be the case, but since iTunes allows me to authorise more than one machine, I thought that it was just possible that QuickTime might do the same. Back to the drawing board ...
Cheers,
Andrew.

Quicktime or iTunes will no longer open

I upgraded quicktime to 7 then no .mov files would play. So, used the uninstall/reinstall 6.5.2 now neither quicktime or iTunes will open. I am on a powerbook G4 OS10.3.9 and have never had any problems. Can anyone tell me what's gong on? I first tried deleting any quicktime file from the hard drive and reinstalling QT7 before using the uninstall/reinstall of 6.5.2 now that I think back. Please help.

There are older posts on this site with the same problem. OS 10.3.9 with Protools hardware will freeze itunes and quicktime 7, the solution is as follows,
It is from a protools forum and worked for me.
"Basically the problem has been that the new Quicktime freezes, and takes ITunes with it, when you also have Pro Tools loaded on OSX 10.3.9. Some have remedied this by disconnecting their Digidesign hardware, but it's a temp fix only.
Re-Installing ITunes will not solve this. You must go to your Digidesign Folder and enter your Digidesign Core Audio Setup then remove ITunes. At this point ITunes should work fine.
Apple has issued a Quicktime 6.5.2 Re-Installer for anyone who's havimg trouble with the new Quicktime. Here is the link
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime652reinstallerformac.html
It will take care of the Quicktime problem, but not the ITunes problem.
Hope this may help...

Video files exported with QuickTime Pro 7.2 can't be transferred to iPod

If I use the default Export to iPod export choice in QuickTime Pro 7.2 to export video files and add them to my iTunes 7.3 library, when I try to sync them to my 5th generation iPod with video (November, 2005), I just get the "can't be played on this iPod" message. I can create, transfer, and play video files on my iPod if I create them a different way (by using iSquint, ffmpegX, or No Frills DVD2iPod, for example). Exporting to mpeg4 using h.264 results in the same problem, even though I've used settings I know worked before. The export to iPod export choice does not offer any customization of settings. Although this problem is new, I can't be sure the immediately previous version of QuickTime Pro didn't also have the problem, but I know I have successfully used QuickTime 7 to create videos that could be transferred and played on my iPod in the past. How can I use QuickTime Pro 7.2 to create video files that will be compatible with my iPod? Thanks.
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I can also verify this (QT Pro 7.2 exporting to .mp4 not compatible
with video iPod [firmware 1.2.1 on both 5G/5.5G units]).
This results in the unusual situation where custom H.264 output
is operable on the iPhone but not the iPod.
Example: your iPhone should play
http://homepage.mac.com/retiarius/sample.elements.mp4
but it won't transfer to a video iPod.
Yes, the workaround is to 'export for iPod' or do the conversion
within 'iTunes', but this in many circumstances will generate
larger files.
The closest description of this situation is:
http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2006-September/015930.html
Perhaps Apple will release a video iPod firmware update soon
to get the 'uuid' atoms and whatever watermarking they are
using these days straightened out.
I'm surprised this hasn't been noticed more by video podcasters
who dutifully use Apple's own QT Pro encoding tool to optimize
filesizes via the tunable H.264/.mp4 codec settings.

What is a M3U file and can QuickTime Pro convert

I am on You Tube, and am having all kinds of people wanting to be in my video's. So I had this girl shoot some footage and send it to me, and it came as a M3U file. When i clikc it , iTunes opens, I think it's some kind of streaming file? She has a Sony camera, and just uploads from her camera onto You tube, with NO prolbmes. Will QuickTime Pro convert this to a .MOV file, or is there a program that will do this? i slo have Final Cut Pro...but I could not get that to do it.

The .m3u extension is a "playlist" file and is audio only.

On my Mac OSX 10.4.11, having trouble upgrading to Quicktime Pro

On my Mac OSX 10.4.11, I upgraded Quicktime 7.6.4 to Quicktime Pro. My problem is, when doing transitions in iMovie, I get the message to check the "enable flash checkbox under the Advanced Tab in Quicktime Preferences" . There is no such option offered under Preferences on my 10.4.11 Mac.

For iCloud, you need a version of iTunes 10, and 10.4.11 only supports up to 9.2.1. 10.4 offers no iCloud access, while 10.5 and 10.6 have limited access. Only 10.7 and 10.8 are integrated with iCloud.

QuickTime and iTunes video playing fullscreen on external monitor automatic

Hello, on my Toshiba laptop with nVidia video card, I have an external monitor hooked up to the laptop. Every time I go to play video from QuickTime or iTunes, it plays the video at full screen size on the external monitor while also playing in the normal small window of QuickTime or iTunes on the main (laptop) LCD. I don't have the QuickTime Pro key installed on this machine, nor have I somehow selected to play videos at full screen. It does this whether I want to do it or not, which is quite annoying as the full screen version is usually flickering to boot.
Help please. I've looked in the QuickTime Control Panel and don't see anything that would cause this problem, nor in iTunes.
Cheers, Andrew.

A couple of things you might want to try. Open the QT Player settings, not to be confused with the QT Control panel. There should be settings in there for monitors and dual monitors I believe.
For the flickering, open the Display control panel>Settings>Advanced>Monitor. Listed under Monitor settings-Screen refresh rate: try changing the setting to 85 Hertz.
