Why can't I stream quicktime movie clips from mac book to apple tv

I have converted old analog camcorder video to .dv format and futher to .mov when opening and viewing in QuickTime.  I recently purchased a new 1020 Apple TV device in hopes of viewing these movies in a wireless fashion on our Samsung Smart big screen TV.  I am able to play these movies through a Lightning to HDMI adaptor, however, I am having no success in streaming these movies through AirPlay.  The files appear to be too large to load and play.  What to do? Thanks in advance, Jon

I suspect there isn't any need to convert from the QuickTime format. The Apple TV is quite capable of playing QuickTime movies, just not all of them. QuickTime movies (.mov) come in many shapes and sizes but have one thing in common, "the container", the container holds all the various types of video, audio and sometimes some other stuff.
Providing the contents of the container can be played by the Apple TV, the Apple TV will play the QuickTime movie. The audio profile, dimensions, data rate and video codec as posted by the OP are all compatible with the Apple TV.
.mov containers containing contents that can't be played by the Apple TV, can't be played by the Apple TV. The file in the page you linked to contains video that uses the 3ivx codec which is why it needs converting.
The OP's issue is either that the file is corrupt or that they have a problem on their network, hence why we need to ascertain whether the Apple TV will play content that we know should work.

  • I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore

    I can no longer play quicktime mov files from a canon firestore from an HDV camera that play on other macs and play in vlc. It happened all of a sudden. Files that I could play before no longer play. It seems to be something wrong with the quicktime codec management because the files do not play in premiere and final cut pro. In FCP it says: File Error: 1 File(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown. These files work on other computers. I have four drives and it doesnt matter which file i attempt to open on each drive, these files are unreadable on this system. Please help. Possible issues might be a corrupted index, but i dont understand how that can go across four different drives.

    Apple kindly updated Quicktime and rendered Firestore files unplayable. I think a recent update of iTunes was the culprit.
    Solutions: What I did. Wipe the system disc. Re-install Snow Leopard. Re-install FCP7. Don't update Quicktime or iTunes to anything after Jun 2011. QT v7.6.6 is the last good version. That'll get your files back.
    A colleague tried a different approach. For this you need a pre-July 2011 version of the file QuickTimeComponents.component.  It is in the system/library/QuickTime folder. Delete your current one and drop in an old one.
    However if you're working with Final Cut X, I think you screwed until Focus and Apple work something out. My address is on my contacts page at teevideousadotcom if you need any further help.

  • Why can I no longer play movie files from within iPhoto '08

    After uploading all my stills and movie files from by digital camera to iphoto '08, I used to be able to click and play a movie file from within iphoto. The frame and duration still appear but no response. Have I inadvertantly switched something off or has the funtionality changed as a result of my upgrading the OS.

    Make sure you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed.  It was an option when installing Lion.  Or you can get it here: QuickTime Player 7 for Mac OS X v10.6.3 or later.  Install it, reboot and try again.

  • Why can't I send quicktime movies via attachment?

    Hello everyone
    This is my first post since making the transition over to mac a few months ago. While the transition has been pretty smooth, I have run into a little problem which I can't seem to get my head around.
    I have recently started using .mac as my primary email account. Most of my friends do not have a .mac account (80% have hotmail accounts) but sending photos and text-based emails have not been a problem.
    However, I've been trying to send quicktime movie files as attachments (< 10 mb limit) and I keep getting a error message "Can not send message using server "smtp.mac.com".
    From quickly browsing the discussion boards, there was a suggestion to change the port settings from 25 to 587 which I tried. Unfortunately, It didn't made a difference so I've changed it back.
    I am currently participating in the 60 day trial - does apple place any restrictions on what I can or can't send during that period?
    I know I've probably made a silly mistake somewhere - I just can't seem to find it.
    Any help would be most appreciated
    Thank you

    Usually webmail servers with size limits refuse to accept a message
    that is too long and generally notify you of that.
    True if a message that exceeds the overall message size limit for the recipient's incoming mail server is actually sent.
    I'm basing my conclusion this is an overall message size limit problem on the size of one of the pre-encoded QuickTime files the OP has tried to send and the following copied from his first post in this thread.
    I have recently started using .mac as my primary email account. Most of my friends do not have a .mac account (80% have hotmail accounts) but sending photos and text-based emails have not been a problem.
    I don't believe he is accessing/using his Hotmail account in Mail to send these messages since he referred to trying to send a QuickTime file attachment to his Hotmail account with his .Mac account via the Mail.app but I may be wrong.
    Since you are a relatively new Mail.app user, I'll give you an example of an improper error message provided by the Mail.app.
    If the incoming mail server for an account that you access with the Mail.app is down or experiencing a temporary problem, the Mail.app will prompt you to manually enter the account's password when checking the account for new Mail even though this password is stored in your Keychain instead of a more proper error message such as:
    There was a problem communicating with the incoming mail server for this account.
    The incoming mail server is not available and may be down or experiencing a problem.
    Please check with your ISP or email account provider for this account.
    Sometimes there is a problem with the Keychain password for the account that running Keychain First Aid will (or should) resolve but the problem is not having any idea where to look or where the problem lies based on this prompt to manually enter the account's password only.
    I've been using the Mail.app exclusively since Jaguar was introduced and such an improper prompt without a valid error message is my biggest complaint about the application.
    Sorry to get off topic here.

  • Why can't I import quicktime .mov movies into iMovie 08?

    I exported my iPhoto slideshow to a .mov quicktime movie and tried to import it into iMovie 08 and couldn't. It won't drag in, and it is greyed out if I try to go File>Import Movie. I thought iMovie 08 could support quicktime movies!
    Thx

    I tried converting my .mov file that I created in iPhoto into a MPEG-4 using MPEG Streamclip as suggested.
    Thanks for posting. My original post was not to address conversion of an iPhoto slideshow in MPEG Streamclip, but rather its saving in an MP4 container in order to strip the "Tween" track that iMovie '08 doesn't like. However, while reviewing your comment, I noted that the iPhoto slideshow export options have changed and no longer offers the "full animation MPEG-4/AAC" compression format. Unfortunately, my original post is now outdated, so here is an update:
    1) The best approach is still to use QT Pro if you have it. I too the morning off and created a quickie tutorial which demonstrates how you can do this. CLICK HERE TO VIEW
    2) Since you seem to be having problems with MPEG Streamclip when making conversions, I also put together a secondary quickie tutorial demonstrating how GarageBand can be used to make your iPhoto slideshow iMovie '08 compatible if you don't have QT Pro. CLICK HERE TO VIEW

  • TS4455 Why IMovie no longer shows all movie clips from movies from Kodak camera

    I am on an IMac 10.6.8   2.16 ghz intel core 2 duo with 3 gb memory
    I am using IMovie 11  (9.0.4)
    My camera is a Kodak Playsport shooting hd video
    On all of over 300 videos I have shot previously IMovie worked perfectly.
    On the last 3 movies imported from the camera, I movie loads the preview and I can drag it into the stage but instead of opening up and showing all of the clips, it remains a single image exactly as it displays in the playlist
    Nothing I click opens the frames.  Thus the only want to edit is to open the file into the fine editing frame
    But this is not as easy as it was before where I could see the clip and make the edits right there on the stage.
    What has changed?   What am I doing wrong?

  • Making a Quicktime movie clip from non-commercial DVD

    I want to capture a five minute clip of video from a non-commercial (i.e. homemade) DVD and save as a Quicktime movie. How do I go about this?

    You will need QuickTime Pro and the Viewer, both available for purchase from the Apple Store. One word of caution, when I try to pull video from my home-made DVDs, QT only play the first 2 to 6 seconds of the video that may be almost an hour long. I am trying to find a solution, but before I would recommend that you spend the $50 to purchase Pro and Viewer, I would wait until there is some resolution to this problem.

  • How do you move pictures from Mac book to ipad2

    I just bought a iPad 2 and this is my very first computer device. My girl has a Mac book pro and has pictures of us on the Mac book. I would like to put them on my I pad so I can show them to others. My iPad is sync to her Mac book and I can move stuff from my iPad to the Mac book. Could someone please help. I am not real good with computers but I'm picking it up real easy.

    First make sure the photos you want on your ipad have been put into iPhoto on your girlfirend's Mac Book Pro.
    Connect your ipad to your girlfriend's Mac Book Pro and run iTunes on her Mac Book Pro. You should see your ipad listed in the left hand column of iTunes. Select your ipad and in the right hand part of the window select the folder than has the photos you want on your ipad. Then select Sync at the bottom of the window.

    Are you getting any error messages?  What do they say?  Exactly what occurs when you try to open the .mov file?
    Which app & version are you trying to use to open the .mov file?  If QT, which one, vX or v7.x which is located inside your Utility folder?
    Per your system profile:

    Let us start from the beginning.
    It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
    There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
    For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
    If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
    We will be watching for your follow up with details.
    Thank you.

    Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

  • Error -2002 when importing quicktime movie clips into iMovie Project

    When I import QuickTime movie clips into my project, the scroll bar fills about 1/3 of the way, and then I get this message:
    Can't open file "DSCN0812.MOV"; skipping it and continuing. I CLICK "OK," and then this message appears:
    Error during import
    The file could not be imported: (-2002)
    This happens to every movie clip. Anyone have any idea what's happening here?
    Thanks!

    I guess, you try to import 'moving images' from a still cam, right? these are in a codec (=mov is no format, just a container) , iM doesn't support. Use the free tool *Mpeg Streamclip* www.squared5.com to convert these files to 'dv stream' BEFORE importing to iMovie.

  • Why can't I import a .mov created with QT screen recording into FCX?

    I created a .mov file with QuickTime's Screen Recording mode. The movie thus created opens in the QuickTime Player and plays fine, but when I try to import it into FCX's editor with File>Import, I get an error message: "File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown".
    Why can't I import this .mov to edit it in FCX?
    Thanks,
    George

    Bengt, I believe the OP's "FCX" does mean FCE.
    Like Al said, they need to be transcoded (say, to AIC) in something like MPEG Streamclip, QT Pro  or Compressor.
    Actually, FCP X will happily open them.
