Upload quicktime movies over IP

Question is, can you upload quicktime movies over IP. If so, What codec is the best for uploading and playing. Also, can Apple TV automatically play multiple playlists.
The reason that I asked is that I want to replace our Digital Sign-age displays with quicktime movies that play all day.
Thanks in advance.
Gene

You can only upload to AppleTV via iTunes (iTunes machine on same wireless/wired network rather than a USB connection like an iPod). You can't log into AppleTV using a web page and upload video to it remotely if that's what you want to do.
Unfortunately it doesn't even do video/movie playlists let alone multiple ones.

  • Uploading Quicktime Movies to iWeb

    I've exported a photo slideshow with music to Quicktime movie format, but even though I've selected the small size file, when I try to upload it to iWeb, I get a message saying that the file's too big. I can't figure out how to make it any smaller, and it already looks to me like the quality is compromised -- the pictures are blurry in the smaller file size, and I'd like people to be able to view it in a larger window. Suggestions? Thanks!

    Just because iWeb says your file is too big does mean that you can't use it. It just means that it will take longer to download for the end user.
    The file size selected as being "too big" is arbitrary. It really all depends on the speed of the internet connection used to download the file.
    The best thing to do is publish it and see for yourself if it takes too long to download.
    One of the things you can do is to put a text introduction on the same page for viewers to read while the movie downloads. As long as people have something to hold their attention they will wait a bit longer.

  • Quicktime movies with both pics and videos don't upload correctly to YouTub

    I have a Quicktime movie with pictures, video clips and music. The quicktime movie plays fine in Quicktime, but only the video parts upload to YouTube. How do I fix this? I have tried converting from mov to flv before uploading and same problem.
    I have uploaded Quicktime movies successfully with just pics and music and it has worked.

    I'm hopeful this explanation will fix this same problem I've been banging my head on for several days now as I thought I would get fancy and add some graphics from .jpgs but stretch them into video segments by properly adding them to the working video in QTPro on Windows. Both Youtube and Yahoo Video removed my graphics (tracks) so hopefully flattening will solve it however I am concerned about quality.
    Before the graphic .jpg adds I was doing the following:
    1. My vids strart off as MP4's from various clips taken from nother device. I load them into QT Pro in segments and then end up saving so they go to the .MOV format.
    2. I upload to Youtube and all is good.
    Now with the flattening of .MOV back to MP4's how much quality will I lose? Should I really add the graphics as part of step one and then the one time save to a default .mov cause me one generation less of video quality loss?
    Tks for the help.

  • IWeb and Quicktime Movie Upload 2013

    Three or so years ago, I made a website using iWeb (the last version Apple produced; i.e. the current version), and I included some videos. The videos were from a digital (tape) video camera, edited with iMovie HD, and were old-format 640x480. I managed to work out how to set the movies to start quickly (before fully loading) using iMovie and QuickTime. I dropped the movie into a regular iWeb page, resized it, put the settings up with the iWeb inspector, and all was well. The movies played (and still play) on Safari and Firefox, on my Macs and on an Asus Windows machine I have. (They won't play on my iPad - if anyone can tell me why, I'd be grateful; I'll probably put the original DV through a more recent version of iMovie and QT, and upload again.)
    I want to make another similar website. However, my camera is now a HD tape model, and I have made my peace with iMovie '11 and worked out how to use it. My machine is the latest Mac Mini, and so QT is the latest also. I run Mountain Lion.
    I made a movie with iMovie '11, and exported a quality version. I opened it in QT and chose 'Export for Web' and selected the option which gives me three different sizes. After some struggles, I worked out how to put this into my uploaded iWeb (test) site (although I have to say that the instructions Apple's QT gives are not the clearest), and it works, even on my iPad.
    My questions concern the code which QT says you should upload. The code in the <body>, I understand, and it's obviously necessary to play the movie.
    But about the <head> tag QT says:
    Please note, to properly validate as XHTML, the <style> tag and the first <script> tag should be placed within your page's <head> tag.
    Here's the code QT says to paste into the <head>
    <script src="scripts/prototype.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="scripts/qtp_poster.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="stylesheets/qtp_poster.css" rel="StyleSheet" type="text/css" />
    However, the movie playback still seems to work without uploading the code for the <head> of the page.  And there is NO <style> tag, and why only the FIRST <script> tag?
    The <head> on the page iWeb produces for my test page already has a lot of code:
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
        <meta name="Generator" content="iWeb 3.0.4" />
        <meta name="iWeb-Build" content="local-build-20130116" />
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=950" />
        <title>Ed's Video Test</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,print" href="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.css" />
        <!--[if lt IE 8]><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='screen,print' href='Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_TestIE.css'/><![endif]-->
        <!--[if gte IE 8]><link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' media='screen,print' href='Media/IE8.css'/><![endif]-->
        <style type="text/css">
    /*<![CDATA[*/
        @import "Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.css";
    /*]]>*/
    </style>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebSite.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebImage.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/iWebMediaGrid.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/SharedResources/WidgetCommon.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Scripts/Widgets/HTMLRegion/Paste.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="Eds_Video_Test_files/Eds_Video_Test.js"></script>
      </head>
    Questions:
    1. Should I put the QT code in the <head> tag anyway, even though it seems to work without it?
    2. If I don't put it in, does that mean the choice between the three movies doesn't take place? I don't have a smartphone, but the playback on my 27" screen, my Asus netbook, and on my iPad all look fine without the head code.
    3. If I do put it in, where exactly do I put it, and do I need to replace any of the code that is already there?
    4. The original iWeb drag and drop method still seems to work fine with movies direct from iMovie (and plays even on my iPad), but obviously you can only put one version of the movie on a page. Is there still a good reason for using the multi-size version which involves manually uploading the movie and opening the page after uploading and inserting code for every movie? For example, I have a very fast internet connection. Maybe it's kind to those with a slower connection to put up the smaller movies also?
    And, since I'm here, I have a couple of slightly related questions:
    5. I designed my site (it's non-commercial, just a trip report, but with a lot of pages) to not need any scrolling even on quite a small desktop screen (you click on from page to page like a book, but you can also navigate around sections more easily this way; anyway that's how I like it). But on the iPad, held horizontally, the width is resized to take up the full width of the sceen, so you then need to scroll down. It's really annoying me. Is there some code I could put in to tell the iPad not to do this (there are plenty fewer vertical pixels on my website's pages than on the iPad screen)? (I don't care about phones, because the site is photo-based so looking at it on a phone is pointless in my opinion. And netbooks with only 768 vertical pixels are not particularly important to me either, but the iPad screen is plenty big enough for the site to work the way I want it to.)
    6. And I want to include slideshows of photos without using the iWeb/iPhoto system (which brings up an external window in a different colour). I want the user to be able to see the thumbnails, to start and stop an on-page slideshow, and for me to be able to put captions (descriptions) with the slides. There seem to be a lot of options, and I still haven't finished looking at all the ones I got from the web. But does anyone have a good recommendation - paid or free?
    Thanks for reading this long thread, and for any advice.

  • I can't view any Quicktime movies from a drive that was uploaded by a Mac

    I have a drive with approx 250 GBs of Quicktime movies that I need to edit. The movies were uploaded onto the drive by a Mac running Quicktime 7.1.3 Pro. This is the same version of Quicktime I am running. When I try to view the movies or import them in AVID Liquid or Express Pro, I can hear the audio, but the screen remains black. I have tried to convert the files in AVIs, MPEGs, and AVID files to no avail. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? What seems so strange to me is that I can't even view them.
    BYW: I am able to access the contents of the drive because I am running Mac Drive.

    Pick one of the files and open it using QuickTime Player. Open the Movie Info window (Control-i) and note the video codec used.
    Not all codecs are compatible with Mac's and PC's. If it was rendered using a Mac only video codec you'll need to have the Mac export the files again using a cross platform codec.

  • Safari Crash When Microsoft Scrollwheel Used Over Quicktime Movie

    Lets say I have a Quicktime Movie displayed in a web page opened in Safari. If I put the cursor over the movie and scroll up and down with the scroll wheel, the movie will go into scrub mode briefly before completely crashing the system. The computer will not respond to mouse clicks or keyboard input. I have to ssh into the machine and issue a 'sudo reboot' to recover (not really a recover though). I have the most current firmware and system updates. The problem is reproducible with a fresh user account, as well as with a clean system install.
    • I tried a different Microsoft Mouse that was of the same model and it did the same thing.
    • I just tested a Kensington StudioMouse, and the problem doesn't exist.
    • I also tried the Microsoft mouse on another MacBook and it did not exhibit the same problem.
    Anyone have any insight to what might be going on?

    New information: I guess the mouse was a Red Herring, as the problem is now happening with any type of mouse, as well as the trackpad. So, scratch that information. Actually, whenever a page with Quicktime embedded is displayed, it crashes. Same with opening movies in Quicktime Player. Something is fundamentally wrong here...
    Yes, it happens in a test accout as well. I even went to the trouble of zeroing the drive, and reinstalling a fresh copy of the OS. I tested pre updates, and post updates, and it is reproducable across all instances. This was all done in front of a Genius at the Apple Store.
    The problem is, Safari doesn't "crash", so no crash report is generated. The whole UI just locks up. I can move the mouse around, but it does not react to clicking or keyboard input. I can SSH into the box, and when I run "top", I don't see anything pegging the CPU.
    Firefox work perfectly displaying Quicktime Movies. Also, if I set Safari to run in Rosetta, I experience no problems. It has something to do with Safari and the Intel Quicktime Plugins.
    This is all too baffling...

  • Failure to upload MPEG-4 QuickTime movie to YouTube

    Tried several times, yesterday and today, to upload an MPEG-4 QuickTime movie to YouTube. I created it according to their specs. I emailed them twice in two days and haven't got a reply yet.
    This is the Safari message I get after about a minute of what seems like uploading to the YouTube web site—from their upload page:
    Safari can’t open the page “http://v168.youtube.com/myvideospost”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)
    I spoke with Apple tech, Earthlink (ISP) tech, and searched Google with keywords, but still don't know what's going on. I'm hoping YouTube will reply to me. Has anyone else had this problem recently?—and solved it?
    (Did you also prepare your upload according to YouTube's specs?)

  • QuickTime Movie File-Uploads on iWeb but no playback on the internet

    Hello, Forum Techies,
    Always trying to go beyond and want a movie clip on my website,  but I may have met my match
    I have the following QuickTime Movie file uploaded to the web page as noted below.
    The file extension is MVI_038-#3-13. The file size is 663.8 Mbs
    The website space is 1 GB using 10 Mbs upload speed.
    The movie clip does not play on the website.
    Question arising: I believe the space is sufficient on the website, but not sure if it this is a internet speed issue? I have other movies mounted successfully on another website, but their file size is not a huge and the webspace is not as much.
    Therefore, I am curious to know if it is an internet speed issue?
    Here is the URL for the page that I have included the movie clip:
    http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Backgrounder_Trail_Scouting.html
    It's a well visited site internationally and because it is a major project in our County, documenting the construction of a new trail is an interesting feature to include on this website.
    Hope there is a solution. And, YouTube is not an alternative because for some strange reason I cannot get signed on no matter what efforts have been made with Google and I am not able to find a channel that applies to this kind of a movie, which is not entertainment, musical, etc. It's an information-based movie.
    Thanks!

    This is the movie :
    http://thebigbenmemorialtrail.ca/Media/MVI_0368-%233-13.MOV
    It's not an extension, it's the filename. Sanatize it.
    Size = 632MB (Megabyte)
    663.8Mbs = Megabits per seconds = speed
    Videosize = 1280 x 720px
    Filesize after download = 10.3MB (download stops at this size)
    Nobody will wait for this.
    Resize you movie to something smaller ie. width x height = smaller filesize.
    Use common sense.

  • Quicktime movies slow to upload

    Dear Team
    Is it possible to get Quicktime movies to be ready to play on accessing the page? At the moment I have four very short movies – each under 4MB on a page. It is taking about a minute, sometimes more, for them to upload. I’ve tried them on individual pages but the same problem.
    Also impossible to get them to play all the way through in the program itself – they stop, start and jump.
    I have followed instructions and converted movie to Quicktime movie, and then compressed them even more. The file size doesn’t seem to make much difference.
    Any help very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Sometimes depends on how you encoded it to begin with...
    For example:
    Starts right away (that's a tag in iWeb to auto play)--
    http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ZacharyFilms/Entries/2007/9/1_ElmoShirt.html
    Loads right away but must click play --
    http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ThreeBoysMovies/Entries/2007/6/11_Entry1.html
    and
    Won't register until almost fully loaded
    http://web.mac.com/captmench/Site/ZacharyFilms/Entries/2007/8/25_Portion_ofThyself.html
    Not sure why the last one is like that other than in previous versions of QT not associated with iWeb08 (that seems to have fixed this)... I had to encode these movies with fast internet play. But then, if I changed the posterframe it would loose that tag and I'd be left with a slow internet play.
    How did you encode and is what's happening to you the THIRD option here?

  • How can I get a Quicktime movie to play over a background slideshow?

    I created a slideshow in PowerPoint 2003 a few years ago and would like to update it using Keynote '09. PowerPoint had a "play once" and a "Play in foreground" option that let the movie play in the same spot continuously until the last of the 21 slides are displayed. The slides were timed with background graphics and lyrics that matched the song being sung in the Quicktime movie.
    It's a song my daughter wrote and performed and it's something I think could be vastly improved using Keynote's amazing transitions, etc.
    When I tried simply importing the presentation from PowerPoint, the video will start to play but when the second slide is displayed, the video is no longer visible. I tried to set Keynote to play it on all slides, but that just restarts the audio to a "row row your boat" round kind of thing. The video doesn't play on the remaining slides.
    Is there a way to make this happen?
    Thanks!

    That's a shame. It takes some tweaking, but PowerPoint can do this. I know it's not something that is needed all the time, but it's something I've needed on a few occasions. I wonder how well the timing would work out if I broke the video up into sub clips and simply assigned a clip to each slide? It's a lot more work and I suspect I'll pick up some clips and pops during the slide changes.
    Keynote is still far better at what it does than PowerPoint, but do I ever wish it could do this so I could really show it off to people.
    Thanks for the reply!

  • QuickTime movies cannot display properly, refresh doesn't work propely for html files on hard disk, opening a new tab doesn't work

    Hi!
    I have tried Firefox V4 (but have since reused V3.6.16). The following problems were found:
    a. Cannot display the controls used for QuickTime movies.
    b. The refresh button doesn't function at all if the html files reside on the hard disk. I do this because I need to test the appearance of the web page before uploading to the server.
    This problem also exists for v3.6.14 to v3.6.16
    c. When opening a new tab, it doesn't work. Instead, it will open another instance of the browser. By right, it has to open the web page on the same instance of the browser.
    This is my feedback.
    Thanks!!!!! :)

    I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide.  Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
    The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
    Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
    Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
    1 - In Inspector > Transitions;  use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
    2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
    This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

  • Big grey bar & grid emblazoned across Quicktime movies

    Hi,
    I'm having an odd problem I've never had in nine years of editing video on Macs.
    I recently got a new MacBook. I had been using an iBook G3, which was running Final Cut Pro 5.
    I have Final Cut Express on my new MacBook.
    Now I understand Express won't open Pro projects. But projects which I had saved as Quicktime Movies will not display properly on the MacBook either. When I view the clips, they have a grey grid and grey bar superimposed over them.
    When I drag these clips in Express or iDVD this gray bar / grid pattern remains.
    Even unaltered Quicktime clips which I had uploaded using Final Cut Pro are displayed in this manner.
    Is this a sign I need a more sophisticated version of Quicktime, or do I need to upgrade to the latest Intel version of Final Cut Pro? Or is it some other problem?
    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks. According to "Get Info" it says:
    Quicktime Movie

    Quicktime will play these clips correctly, but Final Cut Express and iDVD 7.0.4 will not.
    Yet the older versions of iDVD on my iBook -- 7.0 and 6.0.4 -- had no problem with these clips.
    Thanks for any insight!

  • FCP export to "QuickTime Movie" distorts aspect ratio of all text, displays video correctly.

    Hi you all,
    My name is Alexander, I'm from Belgium.
    I'm working on Final Cut Pro 6.0.6, on a MacBook Pro with a 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, running version 10.7.2 of Mac OS X (Lion).
    I'm editing a 'making of' of a Flemish feature film. I shot this 35 minute documentary short with my own Canon HDV-camcorder (XH-A1). The Final Cut Pro-project is stored on an external hard drive (1 TB LaCie Minimus).
    I've been doing exports to "QuickTime Movie" for years now, without any problems, but since a week or two, FCP started messing up the titles over the video - and the titles only. Their aspect ratio is messed up once exported, but they look just fine in the FCP Timeline (in Viewer, I can verify that the aspect ratio of the titles is always "0"). I'm trying to export this to "HDV - 720p25".
    Here's a comparison between the two:
    As you can see: the MOV has the titles' aspect ratio all weird, the upper one partly covering the lower one. All titles and text in the docu come out like this, but the video (and audio) is exported correctly.
    Any ideas on how to solve this very annoying problem?
    Many thanks!!
    Alexander

    Hi Studio X,
    Thank you for your quick reply.
    The producers of the film want to upload this making of-documentary on YouTube. Therefore, I need to give them a high-quality-mov with the least possible Megabites. My film has a 35 minute running time.
    So I figured: Let's start with the 'smallest' high-quality FCP-export to begin with (HDV-720p25), and throw that one in Compressor, in order to end up with a 'small' but good looking H.264-MOV for YouTube.
    But for some reason, those "HDV-720p25"-exports mess up the titles. And I can't figure out why.

  • More  on  QuickTime  movie autoplay problem

    I am trying to understand what is going on with the QuickTime movies that feature progressive load, and autoplay... as in they are loading, but they are not autoplaying on ANY of my machines, where this used to work just fine before when the same movies were hosted on pages created with .mac homepage.
    I have a bunch of movies on my website, nearly a gig worth. When I got iLife, I wanted to recreate the movie pages using iWeb. I went to my iDisk, and simply copied the folder of web movies down from the Movie directory on iDisk to a local folder. All of these movies were compressed using H.263, and featured progressive loading, play immediately, etc. This feature WORKED when the movies were on Homepage.
    So I get into iWeb, make my movie pages, and load these movies into the pages via the media browser. I upload the movies using iWeb's publish button.
    AND when visiting the pages, I am given a big blue Q, with no indication of what is going on until after the movie is completely loaded. No autoplay, no quickstart, nothing, despite the fact that the local QuickTime settings indicate that I want to have these things play as they download.
    Even when the movies are totally loaded, one must still click the play button to get them to start.
    There is something very strange happening in between taking the source movie, copying it into the iWeb project, and uploading it. The result is that fast play during loading doesn't seem to work anymore.
    One user gave a procedure for fixing this, but it does not seem to remedy the situation. I have tried copying the original movie to my local drive, re-exporting it with the appropriate settings for fast start, copy it back to the proper iDisk folder, and still no autoplay during download.
    Is this a bandwidth problem of .Mac? Is this an issue with the movie file being tweaked by iWeb? Any ideas?

    I don't use Homepage or iWeb, or even my iDisk, like most users. Probably not as Apple intended, too.
    I create a page the "old fashioned" way. Hand coding the html files.
    Why have your nice movie file shoved (and scaled) to fit into a template? Why not have some more control over its playback features?
    The first part of my hand coding is to use "blank" pages. Black or white backgrounds (color if you wish) and a display to take advantage of the newer video codecs.
    I export using H.264 at 320X240 size to keep the file size low. By hand coding I can display these same files at 640X480 or even 800X600 in my Web pages.
    Changing the html code from scale="aspect" to scale="tofit" and editing the dimensions used in the code to these new numbers is an easy fix.
    Some of your current 100MB movies could be remade (from the original source files to preserve visual quality) into 10 to 20MB H.264 320X240 (or even smaller if you want to use the template pages) movies.
    We all win! Faster uploads and downloads. Free up valuable iDisk space!
    Another neat trick about hand coding is that you get to use the full set of features found in modern browsers and QuickTime. Many of my pages use "Presentation" settings and call the QT Player app instead of the browser plug-in. This allows you to display your movies "Full Screen".

    There are our iDisks! And they should reflect our work (not Apple's templates).
