White screen when playing back .mov files in QT.

I have two different .mov files created using an older version of QT (7.0.3, I think). The content is the same on both, but one has a bitrate of 750k and the other has a bit rate of 1200k. The one with 750k still plays just fine, but the other only gives me a white screen.
The problem started when I upgraded to 7.1.5, and I can't find the old installer for 7.0.3. Can anyone help?

Thank you very much for trying to figure this out. I have noticed that a lot of people have had the same problem. I have tried to change pretty much all settings on the different computers at work and even taken the files home to try them out on my Mac and also on my PC. Both have QT pro. But still the same problem.
I have now uploaded screenshots of both files' info pages, just ot make sure I'm looking at the correct thing. They are uploaded to

  • White screen when playing StageVideo iPad 2, can this be controlled?

    Hello,
    I am currently building an application where the background of the application is a looping video using the StageVideo API. The video plays fine and runs smoothly, however there are cases where the video will get interrupted (and as a result displays a white screen). One of these cases include double tapping the home button on the iPad, attempting to switch apps. When the screen slides up to reveal the currently available apps, the screen video stops playing and the screen goes white. Another case is when the iPad receives a notification or alert. When this happens, the video stops playing and the screen goes white. Finally, I have tested this on two iPads (one Verizon and one AT&T). When entering any view that has this video playing, the AT&T iPad 2 would quickly flash a white screen before playing the video. However, on the Verizon iPad this does not happen.
    I would like to know if there is any way that this can be controlled so that I can produce consistent behavior across devices. Would setting persistNavigatorState to true help? Or should I be listing for some sort of status on the StageVideo instance?
    What are your thoughts?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I actually figured out what was wrong. On my "viewDeactivate" event, I was cleaning up all object references (including the StageVideo instance). So everytime viewDeactivate was dispatched, the blank white screen would show up.
    For anyone who runs into this situation (on the iPad), you should know that the viewDeactivate event is dispatched not only when moving between views, but also when alerts (or notifications) popup, when going back to the Home screen, and also when you double tap the Home button for the multitasking bar. Likewise the viewActivate event will fire when you return from any of the above mentioned states on the iPad, not just when moving between views. Knowing this helped me to fix the issue I was facing with StageVideo.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • White screen when playing .avi file

    I recently upgraded to Quicktime Pro, and when I try to play a video that I downloaded, all I get is a white screen. The time counts up perfectly, but there is no picture. The same thing happened when I had just the basic quicktime.
    I'm not sure if it's an issue with the quicktime, or if I need to get a new component?
    If anyone could help me out with this, it would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,

    The Xvid package should come with a read me that tells you where the files need to go. Also, does the movie you're trying to watch use Xvid? Get Info when you're in QuickTime Player, what codecs does it say are used by the movie?

  • Why do I get a white screen when playing movies?

    Recently, for no apparent reason, when I play movies on my AppleTV 1st gen, the screen is completely white, no picture or sound. When I play TV shows, everything works like a charm. But whether they are movies I already own, or movies I rent, there is only a white screen and no sound.  Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    AD

    Try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general.

  • White Screen when playing Movie

    Hey, I'm downloading Ironman (bought) and its already past the part when I can begin to watch it, even though it's not finished downloading. When i hit play, a white screen pops up and nothing plays, it stays like that even when fastforwarding. I go to play my other movies and the same thing happens with all of them except Speed Racer which plays fine. Why does my apple tv's screen go white?

    I had exactly the same problem, you will find many posts saying that quicktime and other programs need to be upgraded. Quicktime will not do anything here if it is about your appletv. Just make sure that your appletv is up to date with 2.2 software and that itunes on your connected computer is the latest. What will definitely work after all the updates is that you restart your appletv to factory settings, install all available updates, set it up again as if you just bought it and it will definitely work again.

  • White screen when playing mpeg4, sound ok

    I have downloaded the latest version of QT and updates. I have two types of MP4 files I want to play, one is a movie format that my Olympus compact films in, and the other is a video podcast downloaded from the BBC. When I try to play either, I just get a WHITE SCREEN with sound. Any ideas?
    Thanks for any replies

    Hi Stormcab. I am receiving the same result when streaming .mov files. Everything worked great until I install QT 7.1.5 and have tested on several PC with same results. I posted a similar questions last week with several replies but no fixes yet.
    Best.

  • White screen when playing dvds. Please help.

    When I fast forward or rewind a movie on my Macbook the screen becomes white while the movie still plays. It takes about a minute for the white screen to go away. This has never happened before. Is there a problem with my Macbook or is it the dvd?

  • No video when playing QuickTime MOV file in iTunes

    I received a QuickTime MOV file from a business associate who transferred it from his Canon Vixia HF10 camcorder to his Mac. When I load up the file in iTunes on my Win XP machine, it will play back the audio, but there is no video. When I try to play it back in QuickTime, a window comes up telling me that additional software is needed. When I click the button to go download the software, a browser window comes up listing about 15 different products -- with no indication of which if any will solve the problem. I don't know for certain that any of them will, and I don't have time to download 15 products to test each one. Is there not a more simple way to find out what I need and where to download it? Alternatively, is there a way to convert this file to a friendlier format? This is video of a business event that we need to edit for distribution.

    Thanks. That explains it. The person who made the .wmv file says it was made with Camtasia Studio. Do you have any idea what he might have done for it to choose this MSS2 codec over something more universally compatible?
    Camtasia is a screen capture application for Windows (like Snapz Pro for mac). We use it here, it works quite well but you get WMV files and tough darts, I guess if you want other than that. I presume real time capture of activity on the screen calls for a codec simple enough to keep up and not drop frames. It does work quite well though.
    Play it on WMP in Parallels, Boot Camp, etc.

  • Webpage hidden behind a white screen when going back a page?

    Sometimes when I go back a page by swiping the trackpad, the page gets stuck on a blank, white screen. Interestingly though, you can still click links through the white screen. In other words, all the content is still there, but you only see a white page.
    Anyone else getting this? Any solutions?

  • Why do I have a black screen when playing back TV shows?

    I am running Win 7, and iTunes 10.7.  Recently, when trying to play back episodes on my PC of a TV show that I purchased, the playback screen is black, with no video or audio.  The time counter is counting down the clock as if it's playing, but there's nothing to see or hear.  If I re-boot my PC, the show will play properly, but the black-screen instance has occurred several times now, and I'd like to figure out why it's happening at all.

    Because there is a problem. Want to try fix it?
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • White screen when importing AVI QT file

  • Scratchy sound when playing a .mov file in QuickTime

    I just got a new camcorder (Insignia NS-DV1080P) and took a video that is about 33 minutes long. I uploaded it to my mac, into iphoto, and when I try and play it in QuickTime, the picture is great, but it is very scratchy sounding. When I plug the camcorder directly into my tv, the sound is fine. When I play it back from the camcorder, the sound is fine. Please help with what I am doing wrong and how I can fix this.

    What I have always done is to add a Build In of Start Movie automatically after transition. Then add a Build Out of Stop Movie and adjust the delay to fit the timing of the movie. There are two problems with this technique.
    First, the delay can only go up to 60 seconds. So if you have a longer movie, you need to add a shape, set the fill and line to none and then add build ins and build outs (or actions) to equal the time needed to fit the length of the movie. For example, if you have a 3 minute movie, you can set the build out for 60 seconds, but then need to add 2 minutes worth of other actions to fill the time, so the build out happens at the end of the movie.
    The other problem is that if your movie is exactly 96 seconds and you have 96 seconds of builds, it might not still quite end right at the same time. There seems to be a bit of difference in the time from the movie and the builds. So you might have to play with the delays a little to get it to work just right.
    Hope that helps.

  • Problem with Quicktime X - Green screen when playing back screen recording?

    I've read up on changing Quicktime preferences, but I could not find them. I think this is because Quicktime X apparently does not need preference?
    I'm not sure.
    I've tried changing the quality of the recording, but to no avail.

  • XP hangs when I try to play a .mov file

    Windows XP consistently hangs when I try to play a .mov file using QuickTime 7.4.1. There is no way to regain control of the system without powering off the computer. I've seen a number of postings indicating that people who have RAID disk systems are having similar problems, but I have an ordinary EIDE drive. Also, my .mov files are typically small (less than 40 MB). Device manager shows that all devices are working, and I've made sure that I have the latest graphics and sound drivers installed. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

  • 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!
