What do I do to make Quick Time the streaming video player?

I want Quicktime to be the streeaming video player, but Windowz Media Player keeps taking over.
What do I do to correct this?
Thanks,
KeyW

Sorry but the confusion will just get deeper.
The Web page authors actually have control of what browser plug-in is used. If they write code for Real Player that is what you'll need to use. The same for QuickTime formats even though Real Player can handle most of them.
You can can set the "MIME Types" for the QuickTime browser plug-in and that could release more file formats.
QuickTime Control Panel / Advanced tab MIME Settings button.
Maybe if you posted a few URL's that are giving you trouble we could help with solutions or answers.

QuickTime supports many different file types & codecs, but not all. In many cases you can lookup, download & install specific codecs if you need them.

How can i make RealPlayer the default video player?

I use safari 3.0.4
When it accesses sites containing video, it plays it in Flash (eg YouTube)
How do I get safari to use realplayer instead? (Even my Firefox 2.0 uses flash) (I have RP 10)
I am teaching a course in media literacy and show some of the uploaded old tv commercials to my students. i want to show next year's class some of the same commercials, so i want to save the ones I find this year while they're available.
At school, I work on a pc, and it plays video back in RealPlayer which gives me a 'download' option, so i can save these commercials.
But when i find good clips at home, on my mac, all I can do is note the urls, then do it all again at school to get to them to download. it would be much easier if i could download them as I find them, then take them to school on my portable drive.
any solution?
Thank you
Elizabeth

RealPlayer v. 11.0.0 (may still be in beta) now includes that Downloader - a very useful item!
It is a free download but they will ask for money in July. Must be why they call it RealPlayer Plus!
You can get it here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
I have had it for a couple of weeks and have had no problems.
As for making RealPlayer the default video player, IMO that is not a good idea. There is a lot of stuff out there that RealPlayer would not be able to handle.
These are the downloads and the settings you need in order to view/hear pretty much everything that the net can throw at you: The setup described below has proved repeatedly successful on both PPC and Intel macs, but nothing in life carries a guarantee!
It is known to work in the great majority of cases with Safari 3.0.4, QT 7.3 or 7.4 and OS 10.4.11. (If you are running Leopard, ensure that all plug-ins have been updated for OS 10.5.2, but please see my footnote).
Assuming you already run Tiger versions OS 10.4.9 or above (this has not yet been verified with Leopard) and have Quicktime 7.2 or above, and are using Safari 2 or 3, download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer 10 for Mac from http://forms.real.com/real/player/blackjack.html?platform2=Mac%20OS%20X&product= RealPlayer%2010&proc=g3&lang=&show_list=0&src=macjack
The new RealPlayer Plus (v.11) is still in beta and therefore free, but works well on Tiger. It includes a download function, and you can get that here:
http://uk.real.com/player/mac/
Flip4Mac WMV Player from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx (Windows Media Player for the Mac is no longer supported, even by Microsoft)
Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs.
Adobe FlashPlayer should first be uninstalled using the appropriate uninstaller available here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=2 and then the latest version obtained from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash and installed.
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS, but please see my footnote if you are running Leopard.)
In earlier versions than QT 7.1.3 in Quicktime Preferences, under advanced, UNcheck Enable Flash, and under Mime settings/Miscellananeous only check Quicktime HTML (QHTM).
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11 or Leopard, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2007-009.1.1, which also deals with the Quicktime/Flash issues you may have experienced, such as the '?'. What happened was that both Quicktime as well as Adobe FlashPlayer tried to play the Flash video at the same time. This no longer happens. (N.B. Security Update 2007-009 1.1 requires both a restart and a permission repair.)
If you get problems with viewing video on a website try moving this file to your Desktop:
Hard drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/QuickTime Plugin.webplugin
and then restarting Safari. If all now works, you can trash that file.
In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
Now go to Safari Preferences/Security, and tick the boxes under Web Content (all 4 of them) to enable Java.
Lastly open Audio Midi Setup (which you will find in the Utilities Folder of your Applications Folder) and click on Audio Devices. Make sure that both Audio Input and Audio Output, under Format, are set to 44100 Hz, and that you have selected 'Built in Audio'.
Important: Now repair permissions and restart.
You should also consider having the free VLC Player from http://www.videolan.org/ in your armory, as this plays almost anything that DVD Player might not.
FOOTNOTE
If you are running Leopard:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1

Thanks.

Hello ak_kanan,
Welcome to the forums.
Try doing the following. In the browser swipe down from the top and choose Settings, now choose Content, here where it says Enable Flash change this to Off. Now try going to the website that was not working (it will not work again this is fine) Once on the page swipe down from the top again and this time enable the Flash setting. Now reload the page and test to see if you have the same issue.
Let us know how you make out.

Hello, I bought a song on iTunes that has a music video to it, but I don't want the song to play the music video. How can I make it so the music video isn't played?

Hello, iBillyxD.
Thank you for the question. The best way to avoid this behavior would be to delete the music video from your library. You can always download it again free by accessing your previous purchases. To delete and item in your iTunes library, select the item and hit delete on your keyboard.

HT204382 What do I need to down load to make Quick Time play different types of files, like mPeg etc?

I'm new to this site and to my REfurbished 13" Mac Book Pro. I really love this note book! IO wish I had gotten the REtina Display now. I passed on it because It didn't have a lot of storage space. But what was I thinking....I don't want to fill this note book with hundreds of Albums and load my nearly 5000 photos onto it. I wouldn't want to slow it down by having to wait for it to load all the data everytime I turned it on.
I tried to down load a file from a trusted friend, the Quick Time Player icon appeared in the Dock when I opened the down loadopened. Along with it, a message of sorts came up saying I need to download something else to make this file open/play. Any idea what I should get to make the Quick Time Player able to play more different types of files/clips?
I'm just not so computer savy......like most of you.
So, LOL.....could you please talk in simple language if you respond to me question?
Thank You all,
mike

You could download VLC - it plays numerous formats:

10.5.2 iTunes on Windows 7 x64 bit laptop - Quick Time will play videos but not iTunes

I'm hoping you can help, I've looked for a solution to this for a while now.
I store my itunes library on an external hard drive. I completed a clean install of x64 bit Windows 7 on my laptop - all went perfectly. Downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of 10.5.2 iTunes and located my library...the music plays fine but no videos. I opened iTunes in safe mode and it said that I needed the up to date version of Quick Time. Downloaded and installed that...no problems. Now my vidoes will play in the Quick Player but still not in iTunes! They apprear in the "Now Playing" pane but the timer doesn't move - even after pressing pause and play. Can anyone help me please? Do I need to open iTunes in 32 bit mode? If so, how do I do that in Windows 7? i can only find solutions for Mac's....
Thanks in advance

I should have posted this earlier, but anyway. I restored my laptop to factory version after backing up any useful data, and the first thing I the laptop was restored was connect to the internet, download and install the latest version of iTunes. And Bingo! It worked.

How do I play videos on my new mac that wont show in Quick Time? windows media player

I just got a new imca - switching from a pc. When I receive attachments etc that are not formatted for Quick Time, I can not open and play the video. IS there some other software that I need onmy new Mac that will allow this? Or is there some other configuration to the Mac's current configuration that I should be using?

First read this: Adding additional media format support to Quicktime:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3526
Download and install (or re-install even if you already had them) the latest versions, suitable for your flavor of Mac, of:
RealPlayer SP for Mac from:

Perian from http://perian.org/
You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them), particularly any DivX extension to Safari. However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac/player

Quick Time 7.67 video and audio not playing in CourseCompass MyMathLab

When I first used MyMathLab through Course Compass, the video and audio played with the digital picture broken up. Since then it stopped running the video and audio. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quick Time more than once without any change. Now when it is trying to load,I just get white screen with Q logo and an arrow running across the bottom of its window.

I forgot to mention I use Firefox. I just updated to Firefox 3.6.9 today. The quick Time problem already existed before I update Firefox.Is there a problem with Quick Time being compatible with Firefox?

Quick time not streaming properly since software updates

I have recently updated to Safari 4 and at the same time a quicktime update was installed.
Now quicktime just wont stream video properly. I cant even watch Apple's on keynote with it.
BBC iPlayer streams perfectly with no glitches!
Any clues? Makes me feel like quicktime is just an inferior piece of software. It has always given me the most trouble.
Message was edited by: Robert Borley

Macintosh HD
Library\quicktime
AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component
These are the only 2 files in here.
Interestingly, for example, when I try to stream the WWDC keynote and scroll towards the end to the new iPhone Ad, it streams perfectly for 10 to 15 seconds before stuttering and turning to gobbledygook. However, when I view the same Ad from within the Apple Website, it streams perfectly on all resolutions. I am fed-up with QuickTime because it has always seemed temperamental when used for streaming.
Any more ideas anyone?

Setting Quick time as my default player

Hi
I cant seem to set the quick time player as my default movie player, its using I-Tunes at the moment
Can any one help me.

iTunes is the "default" Open With application for the .m4v file extension. QuickTime X is the default for the .mov file extension.
Other (older) file extensions like .avi would use QuickTime Player version 7.6.3.
You can change the default Open With on individual files with a simple Control click on the icon in the Finder. That "change" is only for "that" file.

Video Playback - Need a way to make students watch the entire video without taking away their controls.

We want to give our students a good viewing experience for our videos so we'd like to give them playback controls. BUT, we need them to watch the entire video without being able to skip ahead. An ideal situation would allow the user to move to any point in the video, just as long as they have already viewed that portion of the video. Make sense? The only option we have to make sure they are watching the video, is to take away their playback controls.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Jesse

Think about it. How does taking away their ability to NAVIGATE prove the learner actually WATCHED the video? They could still easily go do something else while the video is playing. Does this somewhat draconian 'state' of which you speak also mandate that someone is present when the student is forced to watch this entire video to verify their compliance?
This whole approach is futile. Get the person to tick a box either at the end of the slide or on the next slide requiring them to verify they DID watch the video in its entirety. If they choose to lie, it's on their adult head.

What's the best video player

Hi all, I have been looking into video players for a website I am building and I wanted to get your opinion on what you think is the best out there.
I would prefer to have the videos hosted away from my server (embedded) to reduce strain on it, but I can't use vimeo because some videos are blatant adverts, and my client doesn't want to use youtube because of the adverts that appear all over the place!
can you recommend services that would allow me to embed video rather than host
OR can you recommend a method that isn't going to drain resources of the webserver I am hosting the site on.
This site will be linked with national TV advertising, so it needs to be fairly robust just in case there is a huge load placed on the site for streaming video.
I don't mind if your solution is flash based only because the site revolves around a flash game, so they need to be on a PC that is flash capable.
Thanks.
