I think I found the solution. Some further digging revealed that I did not have as previously assumed the latest driver for my graphics card installed. I was mislead because the manufacturer (Dell) did provide some updates, but not all of them (none in the past two years to be exact). I grabbed the newest driver kit from the ATI website and installed it. Strangely, the installer produced several errors and I get another error message at startup, but I think only the control software was affected and not the driver itself.
After some first tests, QuickTime movies behave as expected, the preview renders are working again and the crashes on exit are also gone. Yay!
Strange how much trouble a driver which is otherwise working perfectly can cause.

  • How to show mouse clicks when recording screen with quicktime?

    How can i show the mouse click when i record the screen using quicktime player?

    Why? What program feature do you intend to offer, by knowing what a user clicks on (besides the application itself).Hi, well what I have to do is to start the application minimized in the system tray. Then the application must be listening for crtl+shift+left click in any part of the desktop or an opened application, when that happens, I have to show a window asking if the user want to take a screenshot starting in the x,y point he clicked, once done, I have to take an screenshot...so on.
    How can I do that? Can anybody give me a hint? Thanks in advance.

  • MBP temporarily freezes in finder and when playing movies in quicktime/VLC

    Hi my MBP 2.16Ghz Core Duo on 10.5.2 has been hanging/freezing randomly for the last few weeks but it seems to be getting more frequent.
    It primarily happens when watching movies in quicktime or vlc, the picture will freeze and the sound will skip like a stuck CD. But this happens with DVD and movies off my HD. Also it happens sometimes in the finder, for no apparent reason the cursor freezes and the system doesnt respond.
    When it happens I cant move the mouse or do anything, its a total system freeze, but strangely if I pull out the power cord or the headphone jack, it starts running again as if nothing has happened. But it also freezes when i run off the battery, but then pulling out the headphones works as well.
    Anyone have any ideas what I can do to fix this weird problem?

    Hi!
    I've excatly the same problem. That is, when I plug my 16:9 TV to the S video video output of my Mac, and set a 16/9 resolution for the tv (NOT 640x480 but 856x480, e.g.), the picture does not strech automatically on the tv, but it usually does stretch the pitcure with a dvd player (with a 16:9 disc of course).
    Anyone, a solution?
    Detail: a dvd player will send to the 16/9 TV some info in the video signal (even in cvbs, compositte video), to make the tv stretch the picture automatically. Apparently, the video card does NOT send this info, as a dvd player, or a 16/9 camera does.

  • Manual focus while recording movies with sony HX100V?

    does anybody know whether one can manually focus while recording movies (also in 60p) with the hx100V?
    wondering - that would really make a difference.
    thank you very much!
    dom

     Hi domi,
    After doing a bit of research on this it does seem to be possible to use the manual focus feature of this camera while shooting video. When you turn the mode dial to Video the camera defaults to Intelligent Auto mode, which will not allow you to manually focus your videos. While the camera is set to shoot videos you need to go into your menu settings and change the camera's mode from Intelligent Auto to Scene mode.
    I hope this helps!

  • Cannot record movie with external iSight

    I'm trying to use an external iSight camera to shoot some video on my MacBook Pro.
    When I select the built-in iSight cam in QuickTime preferences, I'm able to capture video without any problems. When I select the external iSight cam and try to capture video, the green LED on top of the cam is lit but there is no output to the movie recording window.
    If I click on the red record button, wait a few seconds, and then click it again, I get a pop-up that says: "Recording failed because no data was received."
    The external iSight works just fine with both Skype video and iChat.

    I have the same problem. I have a mac pro and i have an external iSight that doesn't work, however my laptop works fine with quicktime and its built in iSight. It works fine with iChat and iMovie, but i cant seem to make it work with Quicktime X or 7. I also get the same error. The Video feed from the iSight isn't showing in QT, the screen is all black, the counter stays at 00:00 after pressing the record button.
    Ive heard of a fix, replacing this file: QuickTimeUSBVDCDigitizer.component
    I just cant seem to find it anywhere.

  • No sound when recording videos with iphone 4s - ios7

    Since I have downloaded ios7 to my iphone 4s I am no longer getting any sounds when recording videos. When looking back at past videos I have recorded, they still have sound in the playback. I have tried resetting my phone and reseting it to factory settings. Any recommendations?

    Hey Bryan3939!
    If I'm reading this correctly, it sounds like you might be experiencing an issue with your microphone recording during videos. I have an article for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:

  • Subtitles when renting movies with Apple TV Take 2?

    Does anyone know if subtitles will be available when renting movies via iTunes and Apple TV? Besides, I wonder if local films/TV shows will be available?!

    We're not really sure as yet - there certainly seem to be no comments on subtitling as a feature.

  • Can I record movies with iChat backgrounds?

    I was curious if it was possible to record movies in Leopard using the cool new backgrounds like Yosemite, Aquarium? If so how?

    Open PhotoBooth.
    Click the left hand tab for Video (looks vaguely like a piece of film)
    Select Effect.
    Press record Button.
    Talk to your self.
    Is this what you meant ?
    (Also not sure on Time limit if there is one)
    The File is put in Home folder/Picture/PhotoBooth and called movie (number).mov which is a Quicktime Movie

  • Crash 0::42 when Exporting Audio with Quicktime:

    Hello Folks,
    We're having an issue with exporting .mov files from After Effects.  When a user tries rendering a project through Make Movie > Ouput Module > Quicktime Movie, AE crashes with the error code 0::42 if the user simply clicks the 'Format Options' button for Audio output.  In addition, if the user selects File > Export > Quicktime Movie, the movie will get about half way done and crash with the same error.
    This error occurs on all of our workstations.  We are using CS4 and HP workstations of various makes and models, the only direct similarity is they all use Realtek built in audio.  I have done some troubleshooting using procmon.exe and the issue that seems to be coming up points to a conflict with our audio driver and Quicktime (see the following regesty entries below)
    The following kept coming up with a BUFFER OVERFLOW and NAME NOT FOUND results:
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\0001\System\CurrentControlSet\Enum\HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0262&SUBSYS_103C 130A&REV_1002\4&705ED8E&0&0001\DirectSound\Device Presence
    HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
    Also, both registry entries point to the file
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CS4\Support Files\(Media Core plug-ins)\Common\AsioWdm.dll
    Does AsioWdm.dll have some conflict with our HD Realtek audio and quicktime?
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Sound card drivers / codecs.  This actually allowed me to export Quicktime movies without crashing via File > Export.  However, we're still experiencing the crash when clicking on 'Format Options' from Make Movie > Output Module > Format Options.
    Does anyone have any idea what's causing / how to resolve our issue?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    Hello again,
    Thank you for your responses, here is an update on our status:
    I am testing a simple scene with a .wav file.  AE only crashes when we're using the Quicktime module and if we click on Format Options in the audio settings.  All other modules seem to work just fine.  Interestingly, if we choose File > Export > Quicktime Movie, we can access the audio compression options and AE does not crash.
    In regards to ASIO, as far as I know, we are not interfacing with anything else.  The workstations we're using have built-in speakers, but I don't see how that could be an issue and nothing else is plugged in.
    As for the codecs, we have the k-lite package installed as well as DivX, Xvid and whatever comes with the Realtek drivers.  I tried uninstalling k-lite and xvid, but neither seemed to help.
    Other things I have tried:
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled AE
    - Updated Quicktime to the newest version
    - Uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime to version 7.65
    - Disabled openGL support
    NOTE: we recently tried this on one of our workstations (z600) with windows 7 64 bit and we got the same issue.
    No matter what we do, AE still crashes when we have the Quicktime format selected and click the Format Options Button for the audio settings.
    Any other ideas?

  • Recording videos with QuickTime

    Is there any way to record videos other than from a video camera, using QuickTime Player Version 7.1.3? I want to record videos already saved on my computer, but when opening a new recorder it says that no recording device is found. Is there any way to switch to an internal recording device?

    QuickTime Pro "New Video Recording" requires a Firewire connected camera.

  • Lose sound when exporting MPEG with QuickTime to iPod format

    I paid the $30 to be upgrade to QuickTime Pro in the hopes that I would be able to export MPEGs from my digital camera for viewing in iPods. The video comes out fine but there is no sound. Any suggestions regarding how to get the sound to export too?

    Thanks; the discussion is helpful.
    When I downloaded the MPEG Streamclip software from http://www.squared5.com/; the conversion process was agonizingly slow. As an example, a single 6 minute Quicktime movie took hours to convert. After it was converted, then it not was recognizable by iTunes. So, MPEG Streamclip has not worked for me.
    This seems like such a straightforward process that Apple would support. Basically, you can create iPhoto albums that synchronize with iPods; however you CAN NOT create Slideshows that synchronize with iPods. This is so frustrating since the slideshows have much more functionality and presumably would be what most people would find most useful. The process to get a slideshow to the iPod requires you to go through Quicktime and then Quicktime to ipod; this process only occassionally seems to work.
    Anyway, Quicktime Pro, the $30 application, seems to sometimes work and sometimes not work for conversion of Quicktime files to iPods. I tried using non AAC protected audio files for the iPhoto slideshow sound and the conversion from Quicktime to iPod worked. In other cases, the conversion from Quicktime Pro to iPod did not work. I am at a loss to explain consistently what is happening when you use Quicktime to export to the iPod. When I open the Quicktime movie file the option to Export to iPod is grayed out. However, when I open the Quicktime application the option is black and available.
