.VOB for Quicktime X in Snow Leopard

In Leopard I purchased the MPEG 2 and Pro upgrades for Quicktime. This allowed me to open files from DVD with the extension .VOB. I could play the file (with no audio) and that is all I wanted. I can longer do this with the new Quicktime in Snow Leopard. How can Apple overlook something like this? Any help?

I went to the apple store and find that I would have to pay for the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component. You suggested there is a place to download it.
If we don't have the component in our Utility folder (I don't) that means I must purchase?

Quicktime 10 and Snow Leopard

I've just upgraded to Snow Leopard and I wanted to watch some previous keynote speeches and the latest rock and roll one, but the video is all blocky on Quicktime.
When I load it up the sound is ok but the video is all blocky and the movement is jumpy.
Any ideas?

The Quicktime downloads on Apples web site aren't full installations of the program, they are only updates. If you did by chance deleted Quicktime X repost back for instructions on reinstalling Quicktime X. You do not need to reinstall the OS to get Quicktime X back.

Quicktime 7 and Snow Leopard 10.6.2

I just got a Mac Mini (Late 2009) and running 10.6.2. I have downloaded QT 7 and tried to install it however I get a message that QT V10.0 is installed and that I should get latest version of QT for my system. Everything is up to date according to Software Update on my system.
Do I need ti uninstall or delete QT 10.0 in order to install QT 7?

Quicktime Player in Snow Leopard cannot download Apple HD Trailers

Hi!
I've had this same problem since couple of months ago I bought this MBP 17". I cannot watch the movie trailers from Apple. They download normally the first 45seconds (1/4 movie) or so, but then it completely stalls. The download rate drops dramatically. What can I do?
I've got 10.6.2 and all latest updates. Quicktime player is 10.0 (90.3.1). I can watch the same trailers with Quicktime on Windows. Also, curl is able to download the files easily. So, no problems in my network or the servers that I'm connecting to. Originally I thought that it might be a problem in the servers and I just figure that I'd try another day. Here is example with curl:
$ curl -A "QuickTime/7.6.2" -O http://www.apple.com/movies/fox/avatar/avatar2009aug0820a-tsr_h1080p.mov
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
100 166M 100 166M 0 0 1101k 0 0:02:34 0:02:34 --:--:-- 1245k
So, as you can see, it comes with nice 1Mb/s speed all the way. However, opening the same URL in Quicktime player only manages to load about 1/4 the file in the same time because it first starts with over 1Mb/s speed but then drops to about 150kb/s according to iStat. Basically I cannot watch any of the trailers.
So, the problem is definitely in the Quicktime player in Snow Leopard. Can't find anything with Google for this. Please, does anybody know how to get Quicktime Player to download correctly? Thanks in advance to all hints!

Anybody any ideas?
Do you have access to a site having progressively playing/caching HD video files that play in the browser? It might be interesting to see if the problem was with the ISP. I recently switched to 25 mbps FIOS because my broadband ISP had thousands of correctable errors/second every time it rained and the ground became soaked. (Appears they had underground cable problems and were slow to update to above ground lines.) Finally, I just gave up and switched providers. In any case, in the test I previously ran, the playback data rate for the HD file as it played during cache downloading was in 8-9 mbps range.

Remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard

Hello!
I am experience some problems with QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard in cooperation with Perian and DownloadHelper (a FireFox add-on).
Every time or better said sometimes I use DownloadHelper with Firefox under Snow Leopard on my MBP a process called "QtKitServer" crashes and I get a black screen.
And yes, I installed QuickTime 7 on this machine. I also tested this on my iMac (QT X only!) there this doesn't happen.
This must be a bug in OS X. But I need this tool on MBP without getting any black screens just because of QtKitServer crashes.
So, I found a solution: I want to get rid of QuickTime 7.
But how can I remove QuickTime 7 under Snow Leopard?
Can someone help me?
Thanks a lot!

Hello folks!
I found a work around. A few minutes ago I deactivated the icon preview for "Desktop". And until now everything seems to work.
It seems to be that in this moment when DownloadHelper and Firefox are writing a file on the desktop who isn't downloaded completly QuickLook wants to access that file, can't understand it, and crashes.
So it must be a Mac OS X / QuickTime bug.

Migration assistant update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

Hello -- I downloaded SNOW LEOPARD successfully that past week. I did a software update as well afterwards.
Now in preparation for upgrading to LION OS X, I read an article that mentions one must make sure to have the MIGRATION ASSISTANT UPDATE for Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed. I am unsure if this was included in the software updates I performed. One would assume it would be there. BUT there is not a detailed listing of what these combination updates include. HOW can I tell if I have the desired version required to continue on to LION?
Another suggestion was for one to perform FIRST AID on the start up disk. It only says to select your Mac HD and then to "verify" ..... do they mean to VERIFY DISK or VERIFY DISK PERMISSIONS. I have on occasion performed a REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS but not the others mentioned. I do not know what the difference is?
THANK YOU

I have the same console mesages repeating ad-nasium as you do. What is interesting is I do have the StartuoItems directory but it is empty. The problem I have is that the log-in window comes up as normal, but I can not type in it for about 5-8 seconds. This has started after the latest updates which you mention. Don't know if this issue is related or not. Have deleted the loginwindows and loginitems preferences to no effect.

Quicktime X in Snow Leopard 10.6.2 - No 32-Bit option in Get Info

My daughters school has made a solo performance she gave at Christmas available via their website but it is only available as a .wma stream. I am able to play it fine thru Quicktime X using the Flip4Mac plugin. I own Audio Hijack Pro and thought that I could just capture the performance using that but I found that AHP won't work with QTX since it's 64-bit. I found several posts saying to just use Get Info on QTX and check the "Open in 32-bit mode" option. Problem is that when I do a Get Info on QTX that option does not exist. If I look at other apps (such as Safari) I do see that option... but not for QTX. Just wondering if there is any way to force QTX to open in 32-bit mode so that I can record it from Audio Hijack Pro.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Weird. Sorry, no further ideas at this time. Perhaps someone else will have run across this and have a suggestion.
Meanwhile, you might try playing and capturing the audio file using QuickTime Player 7 which should be in your Utilities folder (if not, you can install it via the Optional Installs on your Snow Leopard install disk). That might work with Audio Hijack.
Regards.

Cannot stream QuickTime .mov files - Snow Leopard

Since upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have been unable to stream movies using the new QuickTime Player 10 - ironically the Apple Event of yesterday! It won't play in either Safari or Firefox. The window will open but no streaming will take place, nothing at all is downloaded.
I have both QuickTime Player 10 and QuickTime 7 installed on my system.
There appears not to be a preference pane for QuickTime in the System Preferences any long, so I am unable to check the streaming settings?
Movies already downloaded into iTunes will play just fine in QuickTime Player 10 however.
Can anyone help me with the streaming problem? It's not an ISP problem as if I use another Mac still running old Leopard with older Quick Time 7 Pro, it works just fine.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hello and thank you for your responses.
The problem is solved! It was Glimmerblocker preventing QuickTime 10 from streaming. I turned off Glimmerblocker in the system preferences and all is well.
If anyone else is having this problem, I suggest you look at your ad blocking software (like Glimmerblocker).
Thank you for your kind suggestions - response was greatly appreciated. Sorry about my profile still showing a PowerBook - that is very out of date. I am running a 2 year old MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard.

HT3678 How to get Quicktime without a Snow Leopard Install Disc?

I purchased Snow Leopard through apple as a download. So I never received a disk. And I deleted Quicktime because it would not play audio. I thought I could just fresh reinstall it and it might fix the problem. Where can I download it without the disc? I have scoured the forums, changed Text files to qtz (but since I do not have quicktime on my machine anymore I can't ask Apple to download it for me)... Any ideas? Thanks!

Worth checking which version you deleted (deleting QT is never a good idea as it is an integral part of the operating system).
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

Revealing "In" and "Out" selection indicators in Quicktime 7 after Snow Leopard Upgrade

When I upgraded to snow leopard, I used quicktime 10 for a while. But recently I wanted to edit a long movie, and trimming sections out of the middle was unworkable.
I found the Quicktime 7 program in my Utilities folder (I guess it was put there during the upgrade process). I reinstalled my Quicktime Pro registration.
But when I opened the movie, I couldn't find the "In" and "Out" markers to select the sections I wanted to cut. Trolling the web for answers didn't help. Typing "I" and "O" didn't help.
Finally I looked through the Preferences Pane for the third time. The item "Hide selection indicators for empty selection" was NOT selected. Yet the selection indicators remained hidden.
So I selected that choice, to hide them. Closed the program. Opened it again (they remained hidden). Then I UN-selected it and voila! The selection indicators appeared, and have remained present ever since.
Hunhhh.

Installation Options for iMovie HD on Snow Leopard system with iLife '09

Greetings and thank-you for contributing suggestions on what is a well worn subject. I have read many of the posts existing on this topic and am trying to nip some details.
I have a late 2006 iMac that came with Tiger and iMovie HD which is now at version 6.0.3. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard (Boxed Set) I got iLife 09 but, as it was supposed to do, it left me iMovie HD which is what I have used. I have both sets of installation DVD's. (from the iMac and the SL upgrade)
Today I got a new MacMini and am plotting how to get iMovie HD on it.
I gather that I first need to remove iMovie 09 from the Mini. I do that by dragging its application bundle in finder to the trash and removing any receipt packages.
Do I have to remove all of the iLife 09 applications or just iMovie 09?
Then, I reinstall either all of iLife 06 from the iMac DVD or just iMovie HD. After that I can load iLife 09 from the SL DVD. That will leave the iMovie HD on the system but upgrade everything else.
Should I run software update from iMovie HD to try to get the 6.0.3 version or download and run the upgrade image? Does it matter?
I am good to go. Did I miss anything?
I also have a SuperDuper clone of the iMac system. Another possibility is to boot from that and clone it to the new Mini. Does anyone think this is a better idea?
Thanks again for the insights of your experience.

I think the issue is that if you install iMovie 06 on a system with iMovie 09 installed, iMovie 6 has no knowledge that iMovie 09 exists. Therefore iMovie 6 installs itself in the iMovie folder in the Applications Folder and assumes anything in there is old and can be trashed.
Apple fixed this with iMovie 6.04, but this is no longer available.
But if you install iMovie 6 first, and iMovie 9 second, iMovie 9 knows about iMovie 6 and will move it to a folder called "iMovie - Previous Versions".
In your case, I would uninstall iMovie 09 as you started to do, then run the migration assistant, then reinstall iMovie 09.
It should also work to create a folder on your old system called "iMovie - Previous Versions". Drag the iMovie 6 app into this folder and verify that it works. Then do the Migration Assistant. This should work, but I hesitate to recommend it because I have not tested it. Best case, it installs and you did not even have to uninstall iMovie 09. Worst case, delete the iMovie folder and reinstall iMovie 09.
For what its worth, I recently did a Migration Assistant from a SuperDuper clone (after a failed hard disk) that had both iMovie 09 and iMovie 6 installed, and it worked fine. But I have not tried your scenario.
I would use Migration Assistant because then you have the correct version of Snow Leopard for your system. You may not if you use a clone. A new machine may have microcode that is not released to the general release of OSX for several months. If your Mini is a used one and at least 6 months old, a clone should work OK.

Do I need OS 9.x.x for my G4 with Snow Leopard

I have a language learning set of CDs. They load, but will not operate as they did before I upgraded and had my computer 'key' documents transferred to a new iMac several years ago. Now I would like to reformate the PowerBook G4 for language learning again.   Can reload the "Classic" behavior someway. Perhaps load OS 9 which did operate the course in the past? Tech support from the language software company confirmed that I need to have "classic" on the computer. I was phased out as OS X evolved and my G4 apprently crossed over to an upgrade which did not support the "classic" evironment. Advise please!

    Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
