White screen (no video) w/ QT&+H.264

I downloaded an H264 .mp4 file and when I view it in QT7, I get a white screen with sound. I've read similar posts and the answer seems to be that those folks weren't running QT7. I am most certainly using QT7 (running Tiger 10.4.3). Am I missing something?

as an update... I got the file to play just fine using VLC on my Linux box. This is really frustrating. You'd think that if an open-source player can play it, then surely Apple's proprietary player could! Apple still has a long way to go as far as supporting a wider variety of formats, especially the one it's promoting! (H.264)

White Screen: xf86-video-ati and Compiz After Trying fglrx? [SOLVED]

I have an ATI Radeon X1200 graphics card. I recently tired the ATI proprietary catalyst driver (and catalyst-utils) from the AUR. They did not work well for me, so I uninstalled them. I had run "aticonfig -initial" but, after removing catalyst and catalyst-utils I restored my old xorg.conf. For some reason, with xf86-video-ati set up again, compiz starts, but goes to a white screen. I can see and move my cursor. Everything functions normally, I just can't see anything. I right clicked my desktop and created folders as a test. When I rebooted without compiz, the clicks had been received and folders had been created. How can I fix this? I'm using Gnome (if that means anything). Here's my /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

White Screen when Video Plays

I am using Premiere Elements 9 software. When i add clips to the timeline and hit play, the video does not play in playback screen, instead i just get a white screen. Once i hit the puase button, the picture of the frame the playerhead is on goes back onto the screeen, but as soon as i hit the play button, the screen turns white again. I have updated my graphics card drivers and the prject settings are correct. What is causeing the issue?
This is what i get when i hit the play button:

Thank you for that info. You have got a pretty recent (did not check, but that might be the latest) video driver. I sort of expected to see a date about 6 - 8 mos. ago. If there IS a newer driver, I would definitely try that. Also, as over the years, both nVidia and ATI/AMD have issued drivers, that were just bad with Adobe programs, I keep older (known good) drivers on my HDD, just in case I have to roll-back.
Do you have a Dell, HP, Lenovo or Toshiba computer? The reason that I ask is that those companies very often re-wrap the nVidia (and ATI/AMD) drivers, to work with their tweaked hardware.
With the latest video driver, and that Canon footage, if you have the proper Project Preset, things should edit fine. The smoothness of editing/playback will be heavily dependent on your CPU's speed, but should not affect the display.
Good luck,
Hunt

White Screen when "video" chatting with PC

My friend is running AIM 5.9 on Windows XP and when I try to video chat with her, all she sees is a white screen, but still can hear me. I have rebooted my computer, and so has she. We used to not be able to connect at all, but she rebooted and now she can hear me.
What should I do?

Hi Brendon,
What has she done to set up AIM on her end ?
Has she enabled it though her XP firewall ?
Has she enable the ports AIM needs in her modem ?

IPod Video - white screen, no video, won't turn off either

Greetings.
I have an iPod video that recently has been giving me quite a bit of trouble. The lcd doesn't display the menu or anything 95% of the time. The backlight turns on so it looks like it's powered, but I can't see the menu or anything else. When I turn it off, dark lines, sometimes horizontal, sometimes vertical go across the screen. The lines also sometimes appear as colored lines when the screen is lit.
Also it doesn't want to turn off via holding the center and menu buttons. It will go dark, then I'll feel some minor mechanical vibrations followed by an audible click (not the wheel). If I let the buttons go after about 10 seconds the screen turns on again to white screen without any video.
If I keep holding down the center and menu buttons, then it will continue to do cycles of the mechanical movements followed by the audible click, then do the movements and click again and again. Once I let go, the white screen reappears.
I've tried accessing the diagnostic mode, but that doesn't work since it just starts up in the white screen mode with no video.
I'm way past my warrenty. I've already opened my iPod several times to ensure all of the wires are firmly attached. I think its the LCD, but since it has trouble turning completely off, I wasn't sure if that means it's actually the logic board.
Any suggestions? Would it be a smart to try replacing the LCD screen? Or is it R.I.P. for my iPod?
Thanks!

Hopefully the battery has leak after long disused.
Recharge the iPod battery for at least 4 hours, normally it would take 30 minutes of recharge before the screen comes to live.
Disconnect the iPod, safely, after charging.
If your battery is good and can recharge fully.
Hard Reset the iPod - Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Select your preferred language.
Connect your iPod back to the Mac, and see if it is recognised by iTunes or Finder
Good Luck! and you will need it when syncing your iPod.

White screen (no video)?

Hi all,
A few minutes ago, the screen on my girlfriend's s10 went completely white. It seems that the machine is still working as I can shut it down by holding the power button.. and it boots back up.. but there seems to be no video at all now aside from the white screen.
During bootup, it will flash off and on a few times.. and I can still turn the brightness up and down with the FN + up/down keys.
Is the monitor on it toast? Not sure what to do.. she's pretty upset too

Hi, machine is still working ( with ext. monitor) thats at all better than nothing
... that could be a broken or loosen cable, too ...

Compressor outputs white screen for video?

Hi Folks,
Just bought FCP Studio 3 a few days ago.
I'm on a new mac pro quad 2.66 running latest rev of SL.
Here's the deal:
I took a 1 hour 33 minute edited DV movie from within FCP 7.
output a reference QT file.
went into QT and saved the text files (if i don't, i won't save the chapters).
following this great video for setting up a cluster between my 2 mac pros
http://vimeo.com/1799266
chose the Best 90 minute DVD setting for ac3 and mpeg2 at 6.2
ran it.
video is completely white. sound is there, but i don't get it?
when I go into compressor and click on my video file, I can see the footage in the screen on the right hand side. I thought maybe the reference file didn't include the video (ie. maybe I selected it wrong), but it's there.
Any ideas?
I ran a search on 'white screen' and 'white video', but nothing came up?
Cheers,
keebler

Hi folks,
just wanted to let you know that I believe the problem stemmed from me not choosing the DV NTSC 48 khz setting instead of 'current settings'. Once I chose DV etc... it was good to go.
Cheers,

Bright white screen when video is paused.

Hello All,
I've looked everywhere for a solution to this problem and there has been no previous discussion. Basically, whenever the Video is paused, instead of the paused frame being shown, there is a bright white screen. It is worth nothing that this issue happens when I use the Darwin Streaming server. If I serve the video using IIS, the issue is not present.
This issue using the Quicktime plugin is present in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and IE.
If someone could push me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

WHITE SCREEN of DEATH (ipod shows only white screen on VIDEO IPOD)

i was dumb enough to unplug my ipod when it was updating.
the result was a white screen that never went off and came back after resetting.
im dedicated to helping others fix this problem with out sending their ipod to apple.
THE SOLUTION:
reset your ipod by holding select and menu, THEN when you hear the wierd beeping sound hold down the select button and play button FOR ONE MINUTE OR MORE....... FIXED!!!!
it should display a check mark and say OK TO DISCONNECT!!
then just plug it into the computer and copy ur library back onto the ipod.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

What happened when you placed the iPod in DFU mode and then restored?

Sound, but white screen - no video

I have Quicktime 7.0.3 and someone sent me an AVI file. When I opened it, I can hear the sound, but can't see anything. It also opened automatically a webpage titled "Quicktime Components" which listed 3rd party components like ON2 VP3 for Quicktime. It has codecs that are supposed to make all the features of 7.0 work, so I installed it as the directions said, restarted and nothing. I can still hear the sound, but no video. Any ideas on which codec I need and where I can find it?
Any help appreciated!

You have to relaunch QuickTime player for it to pick up the new codec.
If you have done that and are still unable to see the video, hit Command-I to get info on the file in QuickTime Player. It should tell you the codec used to encode the media. post this information (or a snapshot of the Info window) here.

White Screen When Streaming .MOV videos

Hey everyone -
Any thoughts as to why I'm seeing a white screen (no video) and audio when streaming a .mov file from a website?
The computer in question has Quicktime 7.7.2, plugin is enabled and is running Windows XP SP3.
I've tried removing and reinstalling Quicktime, upgrading to 7.7.3 and downgrading to 7.7.1 - no change.
The issue persists using Firefox, IE 8 and Chrome.
I can play the video fine on my MacBook Pro (running Lion) and on another Windows workstation - different PC model but everything else is the same.
Any troubleshooting suggestions would be fabulous.
~Lyssa

Went through and disabled any plugins that could be grabbing it & no joy...I can get it working on another PC that is absolutely identical (same graphics card, software installs & network configuration). Most puzzling!
I think we'll just download the videos from this point forward and try the plugin periodically; eventually it'll start working again.
Thanks for your help!

White Screen in ITUNES after Quicktime Export. Samsung CL65

I have a Samsung CL65 digital camera. When I shoot movies I transfer them from my camera to IPHOTO, along with my pictures.
When I open the movie in IPHOTO it opens in QUICKTIME and there is an option to EXPORT TO ITUNES. No matter what quality I select (Iphone - Appletv) the result after the export in ITUNES is always a movie WITH SOUND but with a WHITE SCREEN for video.
I have 3 digital cameras, samsung, panasonic and canon. I only have this problem with Samsung. The video file that the Samsung camera makes are mp4.
I want to be able to export from Quicktime to Itunes without getting a white screen movie with sound. Any ideas????

I want to be able to export from Quicktime to Itunes without getting a white screen movie with sound. Any ideas?
The Samsung video codec does not appear to be "conversion compatible" with any application employing the QT embedded structure. It took me over an hour to find what I assume to be a true, non-YouTube converted "CL65/ST1000" sample file for testing purposes (i.e., it would have been a lot quicker if you had uploaded a sample file for testing) before actually running a series of tests under both Leopard and Snow Leopard. Basically, it seems you can use an alternative application which contains its own codec and does not need to "prepare" the file content before initiating the conversion. I found that the free HandBrake application which defaults to the X.264 codec worked for me. As I consider not changing the frame rate rate to be more important then retaining full 720p dimensions, I only ran tests using a 960x540 @ 30 fps setting for TV device.

White screen/preview

I saw various questions and responses to this problem, but wondering if there ever was a definitive answer. Suddenly my .mov files are showing a white preview and playback window in Quicktime player, though the audio works, and there is no rhyme or reason as to why some play and some don't. It does the same thing in Real Player and Grapher. Grapher will play most of the .mov files, but it's choppy, like it needs more memory. I installed Perian and restarted, but to no avail. I repaired permissions just in case, no change.
These are .mov files that I've never had trouble playing for months and years, so I don't understand why this is suddenly a problem. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

I recently started having the same problem with .mov files on both my G5 and Mac Pro.
White screen (no video track) even on .mov files that I downloaded from Apple's movie preview web site.
VLC plays the files without any problems.
OS 10.5.2 and QT 7.4.5 on both systems.
Anyone?

I cannot play a video .mov file in Photoshop Elements 12, it shows as a blank white screen

I cannot play a video file (.mov) in Adobe Photoshop Elements, only can hear sound, and shows as a blank white screen.

Margie
Thanks for the replies.
I did some homework on your camera, and it appears to be recording H.264 video compression, Linear PCM Stereo, with a .mov file extension.
Let us do a check list to make sure we agree on the details...
a. You cannot play back the video in the Elements Organizer 12
b. Can you import this video into Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace with the program's Add Media/Files and Folder/Project Assets? Does it then show up in Project Assets with an image in the thumbnail? Can you drag the video from Project Assets to the Timeline and have the Edit Mode monitor display that video and play it back there when you hit the monitor play button?
From what I have read of your camera, you could be recording 1920 x 1080 @ 60 progressive frames per second. Can you supply an information on that? What are you or the project setting as the project preset (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio.)
Could you explain what you mean by
and can play it in the video editor, but it just shows the frames, not a real video play.
I am searching the Internet to see if I can find a sample file that I can download.
More later.
