What codec for Quicktime 4?

Hi,
I have to make a QT for someone with an old MAC with Quictime 4.
Which codec should I use?
Many thanks,
Mark, UK

I have to make a QT for someone with an old MAC with Quictime 4. Which codec should I useThe original Sorenson Video codec ("Sorenson Media") and original QDesign Music codec were introduce in QT 3 (30 Mar 1998). QT 4 (introduced on 8 Jun 1999) allows the use of the more advanced QDesign Music 2 codec which should still be available to you for use with the Sorenson Video. (Note: Sorenson Video 3 requires QT 5.0.2, so don't use it here.)

Problems with mpeg2 codec for quicktime

I just downloaded the mpeg2 codec for quicktime and installed it. My computer doesn't recongnize it and I still can't play mpeg2 clips. When I check the video codecs installed on my computer, the mpeg2 codec doesn't appear in the list even if I did install it. I'm using windows XP. What can I do?

The QuickTime MPEG2 Component comes with an installer. Did the installer run? Did it show any errors?
It is working for me in QuickTime on Windows XP.
Note: Even with this component there are some limitations. It cannot play AC3 sound tracks. It should however be able to play MPEG2 video from .m2v or .vob or .mpg files.

Is there any codec for QuickTime Player ?

Is there any codec for QuickTime Player ?

Do you mean are there other codecs you can install and play in QT, yes there is, just this and it will take care of them all just about.

If you don't have Flash, install it here
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Others are Silverlight (free) and Flip4Mac (payware) for protected Windows media files.
You can also install the free VLC player, it plays a lot too.
DivX, I don't know about, VLC likely can play that.
There is also RealPlayer, but I think that's dropped off the face of the planet

P2 codec for quicktime 7.1?

how do you play hd formatted DVC PRO cards (p2)
on quicktime 7.1? (they have already been imported through final cut and converted to quicktimes) STILL CAN'T PLAY THEM.
what codec do I need to get? where?
will quicktime pro help?

I have Q.T. 7.1.2 do I need a plug-in for DVC PRO HD codec in quicktime? like a motion 2 or something.
QT is an underlying "structure" shared by all Apple multimedia applications from QT/iTunes to Motion/FCP. To unlock the export/conversion options in the QT Player, you have to purchase the "Pro" registration. However, iMovie/FCE/FCP/Motion etc. all gain access to these routines (or free QT Pro registration) by virtue of purchasing theses applications. (iTunes is free, of course, but Apple assumes free conversion access will likely prompt media purchases in the long run.) Whether you use the QT Player, iMovie, FCE/FCP, Compressor, Tunes, etc. for export/conversion, they all access the same "tools." Most codecs/components are stored in the start-up drive "Library > QuickTime" folder. The rest will likely be found in the start-up drive "System > Library > QuickTime" folder. Unfortunately, your HD components are likely to show up as DVCPROCHDodec.component, DVCPROHDMuxer.component, DVCPROHDVideoDigitizer.component, DVCPROHDVideoOutput.component, DVCPROHDVideoClock.component, DVCPROHDVideoOutputCodec.component, etc. That is why I asked you to access an export option and see which HD formats were actually included in the component package and whether or not you have gained any additional playback capabilities that do not rely on the P2 card being installed.
I brought up final cut pro b/c maybe a downloadable component for FCP would allow the 4.5 version to read the quicktime file that I have.
Purchasing QT Pro will not add any new components. It merely allows you to export/convert to the formats already available or those you additionally download/purchase yourself from within the QT Player. DVCPRO HD is the "native" environment in which most editors work. That is why they are/must be included in the editor packages.

DVCPROHD Codec for Quicktime?

Wondering if anyone knew where I could download this codec for people without Final Cut Pro. It's for being able to play DVCPROHD Quicktime files on MAC OS X. Thank you!

Not that I know of...I (would) guess suggesting a workaround would violate FPC licensing.

Xvid Codec for Quicktime 7.0.3

What codec for MP4 file

I downloaded a MP4 file from a website. Under easy setup what codec should I select in order to edit in FCE

FCE 4.1 can only edit DV, HDV and AVCHD properly.
Your only hope is to drop the file on the timeline whereupon you will probably get a warning message saying it does not match your sequence settings and offering to change them.
Click "Yes" and maybe it will work.

Is there a WMSpeech codec for Quicktime?

I have some WMV clips that use the WMSpeech codec for Audio. The FourCC code is A.
Is there such a codec available? If so, where?
If not, which utility can convert this clip with audio to something I can hear?
Thanks,
harv47

I would guess that Google or another search engine might point to a sample.
None of the searches I tried produced anything but other people looking for codecs. It is said to be DRM'd, unsupported for at least three years, unsupported by any media players with which I am familiar, etc.
However, QT says nothing... VLC says (in its debug log) that the fourcc code is wmas.
Also tried various searches on wmas FourCC with same results.
Are we at a dead end here?
So it would appear.
Here is everything I found:
FourCC is not registered.
No known developer,
No known developer URL.
No known download URL.
Popularity rating: 1.82%
Audio Tag: A (WMSpeech)

Where is the required codec for Quicktime 7.2 to view MPEG-2 files?

I have quicktime 7.2 running on Mac OSX 10.7.2. I have some movies in the MPEG-2 format. When i clik on them to play them, quicktime opens and says the required codec isnt available. Whats wrong, and where do i find the right "codec" to play the files?
PLease help...
Thx in advance!

OK, did some digging and this is the deal.
Inspite of Apple's vague description, the MPEG-2 codex works only with QuickTime 7 (which matches my installation). You do not need to have QT 7 Pro to view MPEG-2 files, but you do need it to transcode MPEG-2 to other formats. The plug in does not allow creating of MPEG-2 files.
You can also try searching download sites such as MacUpdate. There are shareware and freeware utilities that claim to convert MPEG-2 files, but I can't vouch for them personally.

Description of the add on is here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D2187Z/A#overview
You can download QT 7 for free from here: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
You can download QT 7 Pro from here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1Mw

Sound Codec for Quicktime

Hi there, no-one seems to be able to help me from those I have spoken to about this; can someone here proove me wrong?
I have Quicktime movie files where the picture is perfect but there is no sound whatsoever!
A window pops up to tell me necessary software is missing but have no clue as to what software or codec I nedd; could someone please help me at all?
Many thanks,
Stevie x.

Installed these and nothing has changed and all seems the same. What would you suggest I try next?I would suggest trying to play the file(s) with VLC and/or MPEG Streamclip. If they load/play there you will have some idea as to "commonality" of the audio. AVI containers can, for instance, use a number of exotic or "custom" audio and video combinations not commonly found on/compatible with QT -- e.g., AC3, MPEG-1/layer-3, or VBR audio. If they can play the audio then see if the audio is better identified here. Remember, QT is basically a "frame-to-frame" synchronization application, so it only partially supports interlaced streams or interleafed track formats if at all. It was not designed as a hybrid application for all forms of multimedia playback. Some windows codecs have never been ported for Mac use. Others are so old that they can only be used with Classic/OS 9 Mac systems. Of those codecs which are compatible with OS X, some are not compatible with Intel models and have yet to become available in universal binary format. While QT files tend to adhere to very strict format standards, Windows media frequently does not. That is why it is so important to properly identify the specific file containers and codecs in use and be a bit circumspect when downloading multimedia files and/or installing codecs to try and support them all.

Wmv codec for quicktime

Is there a way to play .mov files on windows xp that have wmv video in them. My iMac G5 recently died recently. I am now accessing the hard drive w/ my xp pro laptop via USB. I had spliced together many videos using quicktime for mac. They are all self contained .mov files. but in various codecs like wmv, dx5, and flv. I would prefer to get a plugin that allows quicktime to open the files... if possible. I have been search all over the place for a solution to this problem w/ no luck.
any help is appreciated

Tell us more about the file.
Where did you acquire it? What was the page you were directed to?

Codec for Quicktime

I exported a Quicktime Movie from Final Cut Pro. It was shot at DVCPOR HD 1080p24 23.98. Quicktime says it doesn't have the appropriate software to play it.
What do I do to be able to play it? Is there a free codec to download or something?

Well, there's this:
http://www.calibratedsoftware.com/QDVCProHD.asp
But I think it is a decoder only. But worth checking out.
FCP installs the original DVCProHD codec, so it needs to be installed on the computer where you are trying to play the footage

Where do I get the XviD codec for quicktime?

I tried googling but no dice. Quicktime seven sometimes tries to get the Codec when some Xvid movies are played but it comes back with a message of unavailable. I can play Xvid on my computer but not with quicktime.

You were very helpful, I found out after visiting the link you kindly posted that the current codec does NOT work with quicktime 7. That answers all the related issues I have had and why I could play Xvid before (I had a older version of quicktime 6.x). Now I have to choose whether I want H264 viewing abilities with 7 or XviD with a version less than seven. For now I will watch with other players. One thing I like about quicktime pro is the basic movie editing feature. One can cut out a piece with general accuracy and same the result as a self contained file without having to encode again, that saves a lot of time when I have some commercials to cut out of a tv episode before viewing the show.

Updates to codecs for Quicktime Player

I want to update codecs used by QuickTime player 7. Do I just use the update feature in the program, or do i need to manually update the codecs online somewhere?

QuickTime includes the most commonly used codecs with each install. When you encounter a file that you don't have the proper codec to view you may be directed to the third party component page offered by Apple.
But it doesn't tell you which to install because it doesn't actually "read" the file. It only knows that something is missing.
Best practice would be to use the MOvie Info window on files that give you trouble. You'll be able to view the codecs used in it and need only do a Google search to find what you need.
