Thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files?

Hi
Is there a way to make Windows Explorer create thumbnails for QuickTime MOV files? I'm really desperate to get a solution. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Alfred

Hi,
You should have known this would be caused by some registry entries were modified incorrectly by some software, especially third party codec pack.
I would suggest you import the a good known copy from a good display windows 7 computer, just import such this content:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov]
@="WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"
"Content Type"="video/quicktime"
"PerceivedType"="video"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\OpenWithProgids]
"AppX55e91fphzr8a583p8cbxv7jpr8bk6xb9"=hex(0):
"AppXhjhjmgrfm2d7rd026az898dy2p1pcsyt"=hex(0):
"WMP11.AssocFile.MOV"=hex(0):
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11D1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\ShellEx\{e357fccd-a995-4576-b01f-234630154e96}]

  • No thumbnails for some .mov files Bridge CS5

    I'm using Bridge CS5 to organise some video which has been digitised from a sony camera in File Maker Pro X. My operating system is Mac OS X. I have Quicktime player 10.1 and have just checked for updates.
    Some of my .mov files show thumbnails which can be watched in Bridge. Other folders just show the thumbnails as black rectangles - these can be watched in a pop up window but not directly in the Bridge preview panel.
    The files were all digitised in the same way and recorded on the same camera so should be the same format.
    After looking at discussions on here I have tried updating QuickTime and clearing the cache but no dice.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Claire

    That is odd that if it was recorded on same camera they are different.  I do know that the thumbnail is a complex issue.  A little foggy on this as it has been awhile, but if you get a black thumb it is the way the marker of the first frame is recorded.  In some cases this shows a black frame.  Hope this gives you some clue to do a web search for the real answer.

  • Creating thubnails for Quicktime .mov files.

    Is there any way to create thumbnails for .mov files?

    1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
    2] If its only happening in your account:
    Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
    Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
    3] If its happening for all users then try:
    Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
    4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
    Let us know if you still have trouble.

  • I can't view video thumbnails for Quicktime Movies?

    I noticed on my Macbook that when I mouse over a Quicktime video file, a play icon appears and I can play the video directly from the thumbnail without having to open up Quicktime Player.  This works both on the desktop and in Finder.  On my iMac, this is not possible.  I've looked through the view options, and I have show icon preview selected.  Any suggestions for how to fix this?

    Fixed it! Turned out I just needed to enlarge the icon size in view options.  If the icons are too small, then playing thumbnail videos is not possible.

  • 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.

  • Thumbnails For QuickTime Files In Windows XP?

    Windows XP shows thumbnail previews of video files in Windows Explorer. However, it doesn't show thumbnails for QuickTime files. Does anyone know why this is? Does Windows Vista also share this problem? Is there a way to add this feature to Windows XP?

    One other thing to explore - do these particular files begin with Black Video?
    Good luck,

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

  • Export settings for quicktime movie to use in DVD Studio Pro

    The workflow:
    I created a movie and did extensive sound adjustments in iMovie and a few video edits, and exported it to a quicktime format:
    compression H.264
    Quality: High
    Frame reordering: yes
    Encoding mode: multi-pass
    Dimensions: 1280x720
    Since then I upgraded to FCS, and tried to create a DVD with DVD SP and import the movie, and I get this error:
    Import error:
    One or more files failed to import. Common reasons for this are that they do not match the current project's video standard or their file format is not supported.
    I'm fairly sure I have matching video standard...and the file format has always been supported before.
    I imported the quicktime (.mov) file to FCP and added some edits, recreated the chapter markers, and early on there was a pop-up that said my movie format did not match the project settings, so I checked the "okay" to adjust the video file to match.
    When I finished, I exported the file from FCP to a quicktime movie with the "current settings" that have always worked with DVD Studio Pro before, and I'm getting the same error.
    I don't know where the problem is.  Both the original movie I created in iMovie and the movie I recreated in FCS will import to iDVD.  I wanted the better quality production from DVDSP....
    I no longer have the iMovie project file.  (I thot I was done.)  I do  have the original footage, but I'm already three days in and hoping to  avoid starting over.
    I would sure appreciate any help!
    Thanks!

    The specifications you listed are the problem.
    I can't comment on iMovie -don't use it personally.
    From FCP, you would export a self contained movie using the current Timeline settings (not H.264 ever)
    Bring that file into Compressor and apply one of the time based DVD presets that the running time of your movie fits into. This will produce a MPEG 2 video file and an AC3 audio file. Bring both into DVDSP and author.
    A DVD video is always standard def 720x480 (NTSC) or 720x576 (PAL).
    Converting the output from FCP to H.264 is adding an unneeded compression stage that will compromize quality -because DVD assets are always MPEG 2 / AC3. Even if DVDSP accepts that H.264 file, it gets transcoded again using DVDSP's own compression system.
    All of this is covered in the DVDSP user manual. Take the time to read it. DVD authoring is complicated if you just jump in and start poking around, simple if you take the time to understand the basics.

  • How do i export a sequence to an uncompressed quicktime .mov file?

    hello everyone.
    I have a little problem.
    I have a 20 secs sequence that needs to be exported from my FCP 6.0.3 to UNCOMPRESSED quicktime .mov file. Its HDV footage.
    These are the steps I've taken.
    I go to FILE>EXPORT>QUICK TIME MOVIE. I have all the settings to current setting, and I have checked the "Make Movie Self-Contained" option.
    When I'm done exporting, I get a .mov file, but its a Final Cut Pro file, not a quicktime file.
    This means I can't open in a PC, where I have to do some compositing.
    I would really appreciate if anyone can give me some advise or tips on how to get my export .mov file to be a quicktime file uncompressed .
    Thanks
    -r

    The Uncompressed 4:2:2 codecs only come with Final Cut Pro. Two ways:
    1) In FCP, go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Set format to QuickTime Movie and click Options. Go to Settings under Video and set Compression Type to None. Put all the sliders at maximum. Click Ok, deselect Prepare for Internet Streaming and click Ok. Export the file.
    2) This is the one I personally prefer, as it will be compatible with any system, even if they don't have QuickTime. Go to File > Export > QuickTime Conversion. Under Format, select Image Sequence. Go to Options, set Format to TIFF and enter the FPS. Click Export and you will have a series of sequentially-numbered images that most compositing apps will treat like one big movie clip.

  • Snow Leopard iTunes 10.5 will not play multiple video tracks in QuickTime .MOV files

    I recently discovered that Snow Leopard iTunes version 10.5 won't play multiple video tracks in a QuickTime .MOV file.
    Both video tracks appear and play correctly when playing the file in:
    - QuickTime Player 10 or QuickTime Player 7.7 on the same Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.3.1 on another Snow Leopard machine
    - iTunes 10.5 on Leopard or Windows 7
    So I think the problem is iTunes 10.5 on Snow Leopard (although I haven't been able to test iTunes 10.4).
    First test file is two 640x480 video tracks side-by-side (total dimensions 1280x480):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-1280x480.mov
    All I see is the first (left) video track, and not the right one.  iTunes "Get Info" command incorrectly reports the video dimensions of the file as 640x480.
    Second test file is two 640x480 video tracks played one after another (duration of 10 seconds each):
    http://160.94.17.23/demo/two-video-tracks-640x480.mov
    All I see is the first video track, and although it reports the correct file duration (20 seconds), the second video track never appears -- it simply freezes on the final frame of the first video track for the last 10 seconds.
    Anyone else see similar behavior?  Unless I'm missing something, I suppose I should submit this as a bug to Apple.

    I have the same problem, i tried re-installing, converting it to AVC H264 but none seems to work so far

  • How to Get QuickTime movie file from DVD disc Video_TS Audio_TS ?

    5/6/2009. I have a DVD with a Video_TS and an Audio_TS folders. How can I create or transfer this into a QuickTime movie file? With iMovie? With Roxio/Toast Titanium ? (what editions?) For recording DVDs, I have a LaCie accessory d2 DVD-RW for DVDs and DVD DLs. My equipment is an iBook G4 with OS Leopard 10.5.6. Thank you for your suggestions. C Yopst, Chicago area

    There is a step by step tutorial about how to convert DVD files to QuickTime.

  • Combine QuickTime-mov files

    I have QuickTime pro and so I can combine Quicktime mov-files. It is however
    rather time-consuming so that adding small films for example twenty is
    a work of long duration. Is there an alternative?

    I was experimenting on different formats (they are converted to mp4, m4v and mov files before uploading to Youtube) at the beginning before I settled on .mov files. My Macbook only have 80 gigs so I want to preserve all of the clips I did in DVDs before I erase them from the hard drive before importing/starting a new tape. All of them were captured using a Sony Digital 8 camcorder.

  • How to play quicktime .mov files on iphone

    I would like to be able to play quicktime (.mov) files on my iphone4s but I get a message that my file cannot be played on this iphone.
    I created the file in keynote, exported it to a quicktime movie with the manual advance option.
    My goal is to be able to use iphone to connect to a projector with a iphone to vga adapter and thus project my presentations from the iphone.
    But I cannot import import it using itunes to the iphone.
    Wondering if there is an app that plays quick time movies or some other option.
    The reason I cannot export from keynote is that it does not give the option for manual advance.
    It only provides a fixed time option.
    Appreciate any help
    thank you

  • Soundbooth CS4 Problem with Quicktime MOV files

    I know that Soundbooth CS4 should support Quicktime MOV files but I just get a placeholder image and the video doesn't play.  What should I do?  I don't know if it is an issue with Quicktime or with Soundbooth.
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    It's probably an incompatible codec in the QT. If the audio isn't AC3 and on a separate track from the video this can happen. There are still a few applications out there that will write the audio into the video track, and QT will still play it that way.
    Are you attempting to edit video with Soundbooth?
    If you are it's not a good idea.
    You really should be using Premiere or Efter Effects to edit video, and leave Soundbooth for audio work.
    If you have QT Pro, try extracting the audio from the MOV and save THAT as an MOV of just the audio. SB should have no problem opening that/

  • Quicktime .mov files crash multiple applications.

    I've been having issues for some time now with quicktime .mov files hard crashing multiple applications. Basically quicktime movies crash Safari and iWeb/iLife when I try and view them. Quicktime player itself quits occasionally, or just doesnt even play the movie. iWeb will crash as well consistently. Bad thing is, that it's a hard crash for me, and there is never even a box stating that it crashed. So I get no opportunity to send a bug report. The applications just quits instantly. nothing in the crash report either. all other movie formats work fine, ie. mpg, avi, wmv.
    Firefox can view the same movies fine for some reason.
    I can even make a new site in iWeb, add one movie page, drop a movie in, go away from that page creation, then go back to it and the app will crash, with no dialogue boxes whatsoever.
    I've tried tossing all quicktime prefs, going back to QT 7.01 then back up to 7.04, no help. My powerbook works fine, and it's on the same level, all OS updates like my G5. If I bring the iWeb file over to the G5, from the powerbook, that I was having no problem editing on the powerbook, it will crash iWeb immediately upon viewing a page with the movie in it.
    I'm really close to re-installing teh OS completely, but hoping we find a solutin before then.
    I do have a retail Mac Edition Radeon 9800 Pro in this machine, could be issues, but I have found no articles stating such. I also have flip4mac installed. I updated it to the latest, and I do not have any .avi files in my movies folder, so it shoudn't be an issue. This all started happenning around the install of iLife '06 when I first repeatedly noticed it on the movie pages in iWeb. It might have happened earlier, but I wrote it off. It was just really annoying when trying to make iWeb pages with movies.

    1] Try it with another user account (make one if you need to in Apple menu > System Preferences > Accounts)
    2] If its only happening in your account:
    Inside your hard drive, in the Users folder should be your user home folder (with your account name.) Within that folder is a folder called Library... open that and look for a QuickTime folder within, pull that QuickTime folder out to the Desktop. Do the same for Internet Plug-ins and throw away the ~/Library/Caches/QuickTime folder too. Then, open Preferences and pull out com.apple.quicktime... (all of them) and the QuickTime Preferences file.
    Then log out (Apple menu) and back in (or restart) and try again.
    3] If its happening for all users then try:
    Pull the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plist to the desktop (Your QuickTime Pro registration is in that file so don't throw it away, just move it out, restart and try again.)
    4] If there are still problems, try repairing your disk either with the OS X install disc (run Disk Utility from the menu bar) or by rebooting in Singel-User-Mode and running fsck. Then repair permissions with Disk Utility.
    Let us know if you still have trouble.
