What QuickTime plug-ins do I need?

I have a Microsoft file format MP4S (which is apparently MPEG 4) that I need to open in QuickTime.
Can anyone suggest what QuickTime Plug-In in necessary to open this file.
Many Thanks
Marv

Thanks Colin & others,
I finally resolved the issue.
Here is a synopsis of the problem & the solution that worked for me. I should add this Forum (and several other friends who helped) never cease to be a wonderful source of ideas & support. Grateful thanks to them.
The test file was 30 seconds of colour bars (PAL) recorded as HD 1080p and the file was encoded by a default Microsoft MPEG-4 format called MP4S with a resolution of 720x576.
Ultimately I needed to be able to import the file into Final Cut Pro V.6 for editing & so the file needed to be transcoded into a QuickTime supported format.
VLC was the only software I found capable of opening this file as QT would not. When I attempted to open it, a QuickTime dialogue box responded - This file is not a movie file.
After a long search an application called VisualHub
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/visualhub.html
offered the ability to transcode the existing format which was MP4S to H.264 (also MPEG-4). QuickTime was then able to open this new file & subsequently importing it into Final Cut Pro was made easy.
I love happy endings. Thanks to all.
Kind Regards,
Marv

ID CS5.5 IDML file and missing plug-ins...need help

I'm currently running ID CS5.5 and trying to open a CS5 file, ( I think). However, even after converting it to a IDML file extension it just hangs and forces me to shut down. The whole purpose of this is there are several plug-ins including InBooklet SE that I no longer have access to. I'm unable to find the other plugins as well but need to be able to work in this file as the original creator. Any help or suggestions?
Here is my report:

You can't convert to .idml by changing the file extension. You must export the file from the oringal version as a .idml file.
That said, you can use jongware's script to identify the version of the file, even if it won't open: Adobe Forums: [Ann] Identify Your InDesign File
That said, InBooklet SE was part of InDesign CS3, but I see it listed inthe plugins used. I also see a number of what look like third-party plugins listed, and that may be the problem. What's happening when you try to open the file?

WMP OR Quicktime plug ins????

I need to look at clips on e-mail, and my G5 won't read them. Should I download Windows Media Player or Mac or the plug-ins from MS which make QT work with it???
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/mac/mp9/default.aspx
OR...
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
(BTW, my iMac did not know what to do with the WMP download...)
Thanks all. Again, a GREAT site with great folks.

"Microsoft says so..isn't that the kiss of death."
Well, normally I might agree, but since it means that they are getting out of "supporting" Macs - if you want to call it that - by finally ditching Internet Explorer (which they haven't updated in eons) and Windows Media Player (ditto), then it really is a good thing.
I am no Microsoft basher, but recently the only good thing that they have done for the Mac is Office.

What Flash plug-ins do you recommend?

Hello,
I have been using Red Giant's Text FX plug-in for Flash to
easily create text FX for a while now. It's a discontinued product,
however, and it won't work in Flash CS3.
What plug-ins do you recommend for Flash?
I've downloaded an app called Text-Osterone. It's not a
plug-in, but is a standalone product that outputs Flash.
I've also found PJ Components, but I haven't checked it out
yet. It doesn't seem like they offer a demonstration version and I
don't know if I want to pay money before trying it.
Thanks!

The dpi is not relevant, just the actual pixels. If you have Photoshop CS3 then create the project at 1440X1080 using 1.33 PAR just like your video.
If not, use 1920X1080 and Premiere Pro will deal with it.
You could make your title in After Effects and either use Dynamic Link to bring it into Premiere Pro, or export it as a Quicktime Animation with the alpha channel and use that in Premiere Pro.

HT5271 "blocked plug-ins"?? Need assistance.

Updated operating system now getting "blocked plug-ins" on everything...Help

In Safari Preferences, see the following:
You will also need the latest Adobe Flash Player plug-in (12.0.0.44), or due to security issues, the built-in Apple malware protection will block older versions.

Odd noises, Plug-ins, and the Need to upgrade

Hello my computer specs are as listed, i am running Logic 9, and using Toontrack's Superior Drummer 2.0 and T Racks mastering compression plug in. I get these odd snapping noises from certain tracks, usually when they come in. if I track audio while using one of the T racks EQs or compressors, these noises show up on the audio. I have put in a query with IK multimedia's support and they are spectacularly unhelpful. I suspect that this noise is due to insufficient memory or processing power. I've been meaning to upgrade anyway as I can't seem to run Superior drummer in 24 bit mode, and would like to, but I'm wondering if I should only get more memory, a better processor, or both.
Thanks
Christian

Thank you, found it! However, my real issue is a blocked plug in. Another person was having the same issue and they where told to do this:
Additional Information
If you need to re-enable an out-of-date version of Flash Player, you can do the following:
Navigate to the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (Disabled) folder.
Drag "Flash Player.plugin" into /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.
If the browser is running, quit and restart it.
Which I do not have a Internet Plug-Ins (disabled) folder? Can I just drag the Flash Player Plug In to the trash and start over? Help!!

Clearing cookies, cache and what are plug ins?

Greetings,
I followed a post here from SANIBEL explaining how to successfully clear my cache. Then to clean out the cookies under the Security tab of Preferences by clicking on REMOVE ALL WEBSITE DATA. I then clicked on DETAILS and see that there are still lots of "PLUG-INS" there. Is it necessary to also remove them, i.e. will they also perhaps contribute to interference and if so, must I remove them manually?

Those are cookies you see not plug-ins.
Root and user plug-ins are stored in: /Library/Plug-Ins and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Plug-ins or extensions are add ons that can enhancet the way you use a browser.
This is how to clear the Safari cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Select: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.

Missing plug-ins CS5 - help needed

In the filter menu I haven't got the first plug-ins. I have blur, noise, pixelate, sharpen, stylize, other and that's all. Where are the others and, more importantly, how can I get them?

Ah, they're just missing entirely from the menu. Have they always been missing like that, or did they go missing at some point? I see that you have some Nik plug-ins... Is it possible you saw the problem occur on installing those? I ask because there are several current forum threads on the bad things some Nik plug-ins are doing to the Photoshop user interface.
That has the look of a possibly incomplete Photoshop installation.
It's also possible that your menus have been edited...
Some things to try/check:
1. Do the menus return if you choose Windows - Workspace - Reset Essentials from the menu?
2. Do you have this file on your computer:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Plug-ins\Filters\Liquify.8BF

What additional plug ins needed for video

http://veehd.com/video/3724046_Derren-Brown-Investigates-1
says I need additional plug in to play.But no plug in shown when clicked. I already downloaded DivX Plus Web Player
I then get a message that a manual install is available but that brings me to the media player page at http://www.divx.com/en/software/divx-plus and that is already installed. Tried downloading again and running and get a GUI saying its installed. see screenshot below

Thanks cor -el. I cannot check options as i cannot open the player. It says it is there as in screenshot but when i look in C:\program Files\Divx it is not there. it does not show in a search of the start menu either

Quicktime plug ins

Hi everybody,
I am using Mac OS X but had the same problem with other OS macs or windows alike.
When Quicktime tells you it cannot play the file and send you to the plug in page. How do we find out which plug in is the missing one without having to install all of them.
hank you for your precious and wonderful help.
Francis

I think you mean the components page, and yes, it can be confusing. If you have QuickTime Pro and can download the movie that had the problem, or if you view the movie in Safari and option-double click on the movie file listed in the Activity window to download it, you could then open the file in QuickTime Player to see the movie info. In there you should be able to see what audio and video codec is used.
You could also directly open the movie URL in QuickTime Player. You should be able to get the URL from the web page source html.
Is there an example movie you can give the link to, for us to see what special component it might need?

What MIME plug-in do I need?

Hello,
I'm a new Mac user so things are still a bit foggy.
I'm trying to open "what's on now" from a radio station but it gives me this message:
The page has content of MIME type “application/x-oleobject”.
Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
How do I get what I need to be able to listen online?

You need Flip4Mac which replaces Microsloth's Windows Media Player. However, you don't mention which machine. IIRC, it's only for PPC machines. There's nothing comparable for ICBMs (Intel-chip-based Macs).
BTW, since you're a newcomer to the Mac, peruse Switching from Windows to Mac OS X and Basic Tutorials on using a Mac

QuickTime plug-ins: Filters

Is there a plug-in for QT that allows Photoshop-like "Levels" adjustment?
The one that comes with QT is very limited.
If I export the QT video with a Filter active, are the filter-results "burned into" the exported movie?
Thanks

Years ago (10 years) Apple had filters that plugged into Quicktime. I think the only filter are the ones that come with Quicktime now.

Quicktime Plug-ins/Codecs

Can anyone tell me where or how to get things like DivX and other things that don't run on quicktime now to work on quicktime? Help is greatly appreciated.

Nawid,
Here you can find a plug-in from DIvx that allows you to play Divx with Quicktime. If you reed carefully you will see that it's free:
http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/
at flipformac there is a plug in (fee) that wil allow you to play .wmv with Quicktime:
http://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_features.htm
The free/shareware players VLC and Mplayer OS X will support most media types, you won't be able to read with the Quicktime player.

What are plug ins.

I am trying to listen to a download and it says I need a plug in

which website do you need a plugin for (copy and paste link then post here).

Mac Lion 10.7.3, LR 4.1, CS6, Canon 5D Mark III and all the plug ins upgraded! Need the RAW update!

My workflow has tripple because nothing wants to run smoothly! I am so bent because Adobe, Canon, Apple and every other plug-in software provider can't seam to get on the samer fricken page and I've spent BIG $ over the last 2 months trying to make everything run better... Where is the latest RAW?
I Purchased the Upgraded Adobe LR 4.1, CS6 Beta & got the Canon 5D Mark III, Mac Pro server update to Lion, WHEN is next dot release Camera Raw? My workflow has trippled in time because of this issue. I'm so frustrated with having to convert images in a slowed up piece of crap canon software package and then wait another decade for the newest LR to load the images I could crap fire! Come on Adobe, where's the release? After a few grand you'd think we'd get a better response time. As for Canon, they are not consistant with community software sharing and can kiss my *!! because to leave Adobe hanging sux!
There should be new laws that penalize jerks that screw with workflow!
Time is money, let's go Adobe!

Let's see:
5 Minutes of research would have told you about 5DMKIII support availabitliy but that is too much time to spend additionally researching a 15K purchase.
You paid 79.00 for the LR Upgrade and 14,000 plus for the rest of the package.
You bought a camera that was released after the 79.00 software.
You are using a Public Beta for the other software (no cost to you)
A Camera Raw release candidate with support is availabe. I(again no cost to you
Yet you say:
"Come on Adobe, where's the release? After a few grand you'd think we'd get a better response time. "
So far, you've paid 79.00
Finally: this is a user-to-user forum-not a direct conduit to Adobe.

What QuickTime plug-ins do I need?
