Viewing a QT movie on PC created on a Mac

I burned two Quick Time movies onto a data disk on a Power Mac G4 yesterday and brought them home to play on my PC. Windows OS tells me that it cannot read my disk and that it might be corrupted. I should be able to view QT movies whether on Windows or Mac right? Do I need to set different parameters when creating a DVD data disk and burning on a Mac? Or was Windows correct in saying that the disk was corrupt?

<First look at both computers' QT version for compatibility>
From the original posting it would appear that the problem lies with the windows machine being unable to even read the disk. Any problems that may or may not occur with the QT setting are something else.
Did you set your burner software to produce a data disk that can be read by both Mac & windows?
I use Toast which is great and gives lots of options.

  • HT2518 I am trying to move across & view my home movie clips from my PC to Mac, but I can't view them.  What do I need to have installed on the MAC to view such files? (Originally put onto the MAC from a Canon video camera)

    I am trying to move across & view my home movie clips from my old PC to my new Mac but I am unsure what software I need to view them.  They are from a Canon video camera originally.  Please advise how this is done!

    Do they have a file extension?
    How about anything on the camera which might indicate what it is, like AVCHD?

  • After creating a new slideshow I export it with the  setting HD 1080p it is then saved as a .mov i then create a dvd in idvd and the quality is not  as good as the original photo's when viewed on the monitor or a TV, am i doing something wrong?

    DVD's are only 640 x 480 (interlaced), so yes, the quality is not nearly as good.  You should probably create your .mov in DV format to best match the DVD format

  • How to view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto, on iPad 3

    Slideshows I have in iPhoto on my mac-mini, do not show up in the iPhoto on my iPad 3 (Just Photos, Events & Albums).
    How do I get the slideshows (Saved with music in Mac-iPhoto), to show in my iPad´s iPhoto?
    Do I need another app for this?
    By the way, the same applies to the iMovie on my iPad (Do I need to import the movies/Slideshows
    from iPhoto (Mac) into iMovie (Mac) to be able to see them on my iPad?
    All I want to do is view Slideshows/Movies created in my Mac-Mini´s iPhoto,
    on my New iPad (In iPhoto or iMovie if possible).
    Thanks in advance for any help
    AMI

    Thanks for the tip Demo!
    Sadly it is so.
    Don't know why Apple didn't include slideshows into the iPhoto for iPads!
    Solved the problem with Phtosync &amp; Sugarsync Apps.
    Another super apps for transfering Movies/Slideshows to your iPod, is VLCstreamer.
    You can even watch movies that are on your Mac or extension drives via WiFi , streamed to the iPad
    without even having to upload them to the pad (Which you can do also !).

  • Problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files

    I am having problems viewing 1080i/60 .mov files. When I open the file, it shows all white. I have exported some HD footage shot on my HVX 200. I am using FCP 5.0.4. I also have created some animated clips from Vue 6 Infinite and it does the same thing.
    I have Quicktime Pro 7.1.5
    does anyone have any suggestions on what to do, or what I need to download in order to have this work?
    Thanks

    Export from Final Cut using the Apple Intermediate codec to view in QuickTime.
    You've probably exported using an HDV codec only used by Final Cut.

    My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
    Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
    Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
    thanks.
    Sorry my bad Inglês.

    Try a reset hold home/sleep buttons until Apple logo appears

  • How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    How can I get a movie that I created in IDVD to load in ITunes and stream to Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't, but you have a few alternatives.
    Best option: If you made the movie on the DVD in iMovie (or even another editing application) and still have the project, go back to the project and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Next best option: If you still have the original movie that you put on the DVD, open it in QuickTime and export it for Apple TV (using the Apple TV preset)
    Worst option: Use something like Mpegstreamclip (Quicktime Mpeg2 playback component required) to convert the DVD to h264.

  • How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the fonts?

    How can I view an AI file created on a MAC on a PC without corrupting the original fonts?  An AI file was created with an image and text on a MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, the text fonts were not the same as originally created.  Also, the same AI file was saved to PDF on the MAC.  When the AI file was opened on a PC, there wasn't anything visible.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Are you using the save version of Illustrator on both Mac and PC? If so, and you have the same fonts installed on both machines you should be able to open it without any problems. You may need to tell it which fonts to assign, they are not always named the same. If you don't need to edit the text, you could convert the text to outline and eliminate the need for fonts.

  • When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes.  Not a fix.  Help?

    When I open itunes to play content I've already purchased and while attempting to view trailers for movies in the itunes store, I receive a generic error message from windows, and I'm directed to reinstall the latest version of itunes.  Not a fix.  Help?

    after perusing other subjects with playback issues: 
    this is the fix: 
    -Launch Control Panel - Double click Quicktime, If you do not see quicktime, look on the top left side of control panel and switch to classic view. This will then allow you to see Quicktime.
    -Now click the advanced tab and click on Safe Mode GDI Only, Apply, then ok.

  • Updated iPad 2 last night.  All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed.  The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this

    Updated iPad 2 last night.  All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed.  The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this

    Quit the app and restart the iPad.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Try the videos app again.

  • I have a Panasonic FZ38 HD camera. I can load and view my hd movies onto iMovie with no problems via my camera or a card reader.  When I try to copy my hd videos from my old Windows pc to my new iMac, the picture speed has doubled but the sound is normal.

    I have a Panasonic DMC-FZ38 HD camera and have lots of hd movie clips stored on my old Windows Pc using Photofun software supplied by Panasonic, which I want to transfer to my new Imac computer.   I am able to copy my most recent movies that are still on the memory card from my camera onto Imovie and view them with no problems at all.  When it comes to copying my old existing hd movies stored on my Windows Pc (and which are no longer stored on a memory card), I discover that when I view them on the Imovie, the speed has doubled but the sound is normal.   In order to transfer my old movies I have copied them back  onto a memory card (SDHC - the same card as previously used) and then put the card back into my camera and then copied them onto my Imac via the camera USB.   I have also used a card reader but get the same result.     If I view the same movie through my camera, or look at it on my old pc, it plays at normal speed.    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening please?

    have you read and watch the Tutorials..? :

    iM is a bit.. iffy, when it comes to the definition, what a 'camera' is. historically, only tape based machines were a movie-camera. nowadays still-cams allow movin' images too..
    but, as mentioned above: the intended workflow is: material from photo cameras (even when they move) => import via iPhoto; material from video cameras (even when they don't move.. ) => iMovie
    when the import is done, you'll notice in all iLife apps the 'media browser' - in iM09, on the very right, the icon with a camera on.. click it, presto, all (incl. your 'videos') your iPhoto Library at hand for usage in iMovie.

    Hello, eco1. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    This sounds like you are wanting to move your iTunes media folder to an external drive and have iTunes this folder from this location.  If this is the case then I would recommend taking a look at the article below.

  • Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.

    Safari is giving me a missing plug in message when I try to view things like movie trailers. The trailers play on Firefox, so I'm not sure what's missing from Safari.  I have Safari 5.0.6 and Mac OS X 10.5.8.

    I just noticed that it won't play some newsite videos anymore either. What plug in do I need to update (if that's the problem)?
