Viewing Quicktime Movie?

Hello,
I'm working as a transcriber on a show that just switched its format to HD. They've given me the files on an external hd with firewire, and I'm supposed to type out the dialogue using InqScribe, which is basically Quicktime with a little notepad that lets you put in time stamps, as I understand it. (You guys probably know all of this stuff, but I just wanted to be safe.)
The files play the audio, but not the video. I read that I need some sort of proprietary codec from Final Cut Pro in order to view the files in Quicktime, so my supervisor provided me with a copy, but it requires 26.7GB to install, and I don't have nearly enough space available and can't easily make it. Is there any way I can extract just the codec I need without fully installing FCP or any other way I can get it?
Here's the file info in case that helps:
Kind: QuickTime Movie
Codecs: DVCPRO HD 1080i60, Integer (Little Endian), Timecode
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Google is failing me so far!

No it doesn't. FCS 2 requires 4gb for all the apps, less for FCP only. FCS2 has another 55gb of content (templates etc) for the various apps, but you don't need them.
Seeing as your quoted 27gb doesn't tally with this I'm assuming you're using an older version, but the apps themselves still shouldn't take up any more than 4gb, probably less to be honest.

How do you view quicktime movies from MAC to TV?

I'd like to view quicktime movies from my MacBook Pro to HDTV. What do I need to do?

Not every retailer carries mini-DP to HDMI adaptors, so you might want to call ahead. If you find one, make sure that it carries audio - some won't. You can certainly find them online. Apple normally stocks a Moshi version which supports audio, but they're back-ordered at the moment. If you have trouble finding them locally, try newegg.com.
Edit: meant to add, a newer option is to get an AppleTV v3 connected to your TV, connect it to your wireless network, and mirror your Macbook Pro to the AppleTV using Airplay Mirroring. May even not be much more expensive than the adaptor+cable option. Details here:

Viewing quicktime movies in Safari

What are the specifications for viewing quicktime movies in safari? I've tried several different sites, most without luck. One very useful site (http://mac.sillydog.org/qt/compare.php) has several different QT formats posted. I was surprised to find out that I could not view the H.264 format, but that I could view the MPEG-4 (basic) and MPEG-4 (Improved) formats (these are the last 2 examples on the page). Also, does anyone know if it is possible to view any streaming quicktime video from within Safari? TIA
-peter-

Update: No it is not possible to stream quicktime video to ipod touch or iPhone at this time. Only Audio streams are supported.
I don't know the exact specifications off hand, although I know for definate that Apple's trailer site now redirects you to a iPhone-friendly version when browsed from either iPod touch or iPhone.
Maybe you could look into what spec the videos are encoded there? - Hopefully you can, I'd also be able to upload video in ipod touch compatible format(s).

Viewing quicktime movies from iphoto 08

I just upgrade to Snow Leopard, I use to be able to view quicktime movies from Iphotos in Leopard, now if i click on the movie nothing happens, From Quicktime doesnt seem to want to open my library where the movies are located. These are small video max 30 secs from my digital camera?

If I upgrade to iphoto 09 will this problem go away?
No. Not if you don't install Quicktime 7 Player from the Snow Leopard install disk. You can do a custom install and select the Quicktime 7 Player as the only item to install. That should fix the issue.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Can't view quicktime movies in email anymore?

Before the 2.0 updates, I could easily view quicktime movies sent to me via email. Ever since the 2.0 update, it says it's not able to play the movie. Why is this? And what do I need to do to fix it?
Thank you.

Thank you Quicktime Kirk, That worked. I just have one other question. I dragged the plugin to my desktop as you directed, but should I now toss it? or, uh, what?
Thank you again,

IMac 10.3 cannot view Quicktime movies created on MacBook 10.5.4

I'm creating movies using iMovie on my MacBook to be viewed in html files. No problem viewing the movie on line using Safari on MacBook. No problem viewing the movie itself with Quicktime on my iMac. But when I access the html page on line with iMac, I cannot see the movie regardless whether I use Safari or IE.
Also, these html pages are veiewed by potential home buyers & since not every household has the latest computer & software, is there a way to export the iMovie files in a more universal format?
Thanks in advance

MMM...I think your iMac/10.3x has seen it's day. Even if you install (or can) 10.4x on it, it might be worse off. Someone gave me a iMac like yours last year. I did what I could with it. A few days later I packed it up and got rid of it.
Some may come in here and tell you to do this and that...but I don't think you or your fiend will be happy.
Sad to say, but I think it time for a new or a recondition Mac for your friend.

How to view Quicktime movie on iPad

Hi,
I have the most recent iPad Air. Yesterday I took a video with my iPhone 4S. I emailed it to myself and some others, straight from the photos app. They were able to open it up on their computers. My iPad won't play it. When I click on the attachment, it just displays a grey screen saying "Video.MOV QuickTime Movie."
I searched and others with this problem seemed to have an issue playing other formats like WMV. This is straight from an iPhone. So I can't imagine the iPad should need a third party app for this. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

Try playing with free OPlayerHD Lite app.

Can't view Quicktime Movies on the web

this is what im trying to view
http://www.solent.ac.uk/360/hamwic_bedroom.html
it worked a while back but not now, now i get the light blue logo with the question mark

i found qtp whatever it was in regedit changed everything to full control
moved quicktime .xml file onto desktop from apple computer folder
uninstalled and installed quicktime a few times
tried with ie8 google chrome and cometbird
no luck
quicktime is terrible, i dont know why so many things on the web need it to play, they may as well ask notepad to open the files.
cheers

I'm having the exact same problem... Don't know when but IE and Firefox are refusing to play quicktime files. I can run the quicktime player and play MP3 and MOV files (which is what I normally do) but nothing is playing from the browser.
I've tried pretty much everything I can think of... in the end, QuickTime is not showing up under Set Default Programs or Set Program Associations (via QuickTime Preferences->Browser->MIME Settings or File Types).
I can install QT-Lite, and everything works for the browser... except now I don't have a standalone player that plays MP3 and MOV files because I cannot have QT-Lite installed alongside QuickTime.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jason

Possible to view quicktime in full screen on external monitor?

Hey All!
Im wondering if there is any way to view quicktime movies in full screen (or use front row for that matter) on an external desktop set up us as an extended desktop (as opposed to mirror). This seems like quite a dumb thing to not be able to do.

This is a problem for most software on the mac, especially games. My experience has been most software uses the primary - in this case the macbook lcd - as its display monitor. There are a few ways to fudge it to force it on another screen, but quite frankly I find that the only way to use a macbook pro and external monitor is with the lid closed.
This is generally the best solution as the menu bar is always stuck on the primary anyway.
To use the macbook closed simply wake the computer from sleep with an external keyboard or mouse the laptop and the primary will now be the external monitor.
The only real downside is how do I now use the isight????

Safari 6.1 on MacOS 10.8.5 not play quicktime movies

Trying to view quicktime movies in Safari brings up the Quicktime Q graphic with a big question mark. Safari->Help-> Installed Plug-Ins includes:
QuickTime Plug-in 7.7.1
The QuickTime Plugin allows you to view a wide variety of multimedia content in web pages. For more information, visit the QuickTime Web site. — from file “QuickTime Plugin.plugin”.
in the list of plug ins and the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder does have the file "QuickTime Plugin.plugin".
I have tried downloading the older Quicktime Player 7.app and then rebooting the computer and I still cannot view the Quicktime movies in Safari. I can view the quicktime movies in Firefox (version 24.0).
I have also deleted the items in the Library folder:
Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Preferences/com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
Preferences/QuickTime Preferences
rebooting and relaunching Safari all with negative results.
All of these have been suggested by people in previous postings dating back to Fall 2012 or earlier, so I'm out of ideas.
Is there anything else I should try?
Running Safari 6.1 on Mac OS 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro with Retina display.

Well, this was on webpages I had created as lecture slides for my classes. I've just discovered that Safari acts differently if I view other websites than if I view webpages on my own computer's harddrive. If I put an example page on the webserver
http://www2.bakersfieldcollege.edu/nstrobel/astronomy/s3test.htm
and bring it up in Safari, I can see the quicktime movie in Safari.
When I view the same webpage (s3test.htm) that has the quicktime movie embedded in it on my local harddrive, Safari displays the shaded Quicktime logo with the big question mark.
Why Safari should care whether the webpage is on some webserver vs. having the same file and graphics on the local computer harddrive is beyond me.
Since all of my lecture slides are webpages I have created, I'd like to know what hooks or coding I now need to put in the html to get Safari to display the movies in my lecture slide webpages on my local computer's harddrive.
Here's the very simple html code for the s3test.htm file:
============
<html>
<head>
<title>Sun's Interior</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>The Sun is entirely hot gas all the way to the center.</h2>
<center>
<embed src="circS10.mov" width="640" height="500" loop="true"></embed>
</center>
<H2>Interior</H2>
<UL>
          <LI>
            <h3>Core: 16 million K and density 20 times greater than iron but still gaseous!
              Energy generated here in the innermost 10% of the Sun's mass.
      </h3>
          <LI>
            <h3>Radiative Zone:
      Photons carry energy outward. About 85% of the Sun's radius.</h3>
          <LI>
            <h3>Convection Zone: Photons blocked, so huge chunks of gas carry energy outward to surface. Outer 15% of
the Sun's radius.</h3>
          <LI>
            <h3><em>Photosphere: </em>here the photons finally escape to space. The part we see. Only 500 kilometers thick.
About 5840 K.</h3>
</UL>
</body>
</html>
===========
That code works just fine if I put the s3test.htm + circS10.mov quicktime movie files on the www2.bakersfieldcollege.edu webserver (or any other webserver), but it does not work if the files are on my local harddrive. Firefox works fine either way.

Install OPlayer HD and enable the QuickTime plugin to play your movies.

Viewing embeded quicktime movies in the player?

Is it possible to view a movie that's embeded on a webpage in the Quicktime Player instead, therefore allowing the viewer to watch the movie at a different size?

Its the browser, not the web-page or file that decides how to handle files of any particular type. Safari does not allow the user to configure it to a great extent (and insists on using the QuickTime Plug-in even if it isn't installed...) but other browsers do.
If you use Firefox ( http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/ ) the first time you go directly to the url of any mov file, ( paste in the URL of this mov file for instance: http://images.apple.com/macbookpro/gallery/images/macbook48001122006.mov ) and a window will appear. ( see http://wings.buffalo.edu/computing/documentation/mac/Sorted%20Images/norton10/no rton10_01.jpg )
If you then choose to "Save to Disk" and "Do this automatically for files like this one from now on" a Download action is created in Firefox's preferences.
To view or change the Download action:
Menu bar > Firefox > Preferences > Downloads > View & Edit Actions
Select the "MOV" action.
Click "Change Action"
Select whatever you wish - save to disk, open with a plug-in (QuickTime Plug-in for instance), open with the default application or pick any application with which to open this type of file.
Click "Ok"

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.

Viewing iWeb Quicktime movies on PC

Greetings,
I've posted several Quicktime movies on my iWeb site and am getting reports from most of the PC users who've tried to view them that the movies won't open. I know that Quicktime 3 or later is needed. Is there any other advice I could give PC users toward viewing these movies?
Thanks!
BnB

Yes, Quicktime 3 is wayyyyyyy outdated.
Post a hyperlink on your web page with this link
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
add hyperlinks on you site in iweb easily by highlighting your text-
then menu>
insert>
hyperlink>
webpage>
the inspector will open on the right hand side of your screen
first drop down menu should say link to "external page"
second input your full web page link in the next text box
repeat as needed.
Good Luck

Streaming QuickTime movie without any links (i.e.:"file, edit, view, help")

Hello all,
I am streaming videos, using 'VitalStream', for items I have for sale. The local governing board of the organazation/web site I am posting these movies on will not let me post any 'links to other areas of the web site where there is promotional information'. So, the 'file, edit, view, help' on the quicktime player or movie is considered 'links' according to the organization.
Is there a way I can export the movies, from iMovie HD or GarageBand or QuickTime Pro, so those links do not show on the streaming video? All I want to show is the movie and the play/pause functions, or if I can get it to just show the movie and sound that would be o.k. too. The majority of people who will be viewing these movies are using PC's. Should I get 'flip 4 mac' and convert it to wmv, will that cut out the 'links'?
PowerBook G4 1.67 Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPod 80 G, iLife '06, iWork '06, QuickTime Pro, Sony DCR-HC96.

Not familiar with Vitalstream...but if you embed your QuickTime movie into a web page, you can control whether or not there is a controller, and there is no player skin involved. The movie you embed can be either a full movie, or a reference to a movie running on a streaming server somewhere.
The key is that instead of opening the movie in QuickTime player, you want it to run in the browser plug-in. Here, let me show you a couple of examples from my own pages. The code is fairly clean; feel free to rip off my embedding code if you want.. 8-)
The most basic form of movie embedding can be seen on this page where a movie plays within the page, with its controller, which includes a play/pause control and a scrubbing bar.
By comparison, on this page, about halfway down on the right-hand side there is an embedded movie with no controls on it, set to loop continuously. Again, you can look at the source to see how it was done.
Please note that I'm using an old form of object embedding that has some issues in Internet Explorer. It still works, but in order to use the controllers the user has to click on the movie twice. Also, in my case, the movies are stored on my web site, and are not streamed at all. If I were using a streaming host, I could put a reference movie on my site and use it to point to the stream.
