Why Can't QuickTime Do This Anymore?

About a year ago, I used to be able to create muxed MPEG-2 TS (transport streams) using Compressor and open them using QuickTime. Of course I have the MPEG-2 plugin for QuickTime too. However, it seems QuickTime can no longer open MPEG-2 TS files. I can still create them using Compressor, but only MPEG Streamclip can open them, QuickTime cannot. I can't believe this shareware program can do something Apple can't. It MUST be a legal issue involving QuickTime. Does anyone know for sure? I have spent a lot of time looking for the answer to this. Why can't QuickTime play TS files?????

MPEG Streamclip is a better all around solution so instead of figuring out why Apple did something move on to a superior multipurpose and conveniently, free, application as you have found.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

  • Why can I not copy paste anymore in Dreamweaver CC?

    Help! Why can I not copy paste anymore in Dreamweaver CC? It was working fine a week ago, did not install or delete anything in this time, the options from the pull down menu are ghosted, ctrl+c ctrl+v doesnt work. I could use paste special from the pull down menu and did.  Paste special worked once, now is ghosted too.

    Try renaming the Configuration folder to Configuration-backup.
    The folder can be found as in http://www.dmxzone.com/go/16740/clearing-dreamweaver-s-cache/

  • I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    I am unable to apply my downloaded update. When I try to apply it and restart firefox, it still says 'apply downloaded update now...'. Why can't I apply this update and what do I do about it?

    Checked out that link and everything seems to be in order on this machine at this time.
    I only have CC installed on this one machine, not even my secondary machine like is permitted. it seems odd that I'm asked to re-accept the Licence Agreement as often as I am. If I had to guess, it's almost every week, if not multiple times some weeks, that all the software will decide I should have to view the licence agreement.
    Edit: I've never had any noticeable "errors" activating or anything like that. I just get asked to do it quite frequently.
    This activation screen isn't too annoying (it involves clicking one single button), but like I stated earlier, if I'm trying to launch the software by double-clicking on a PSD, AI, PPROJ, AEP, etc... that file will fail to open.
    I feel like that's probably not really a bug, but it is frustrating, since I did launch the application with the intent to edit that specific file I tried to open.
    Again, something that you guys may consider working on.
    Another annoyance is that: agreeing to the licence agreement is a per-application task, so if I see that Licence Agreement dialogue window by opening Photoshop (for example), I know that every other piece of software I have in the suite (Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, Audition) will be showing me that screen on it's next launch. Probably deliberate for legal purposes that I can't just agree once for the whole suite, but heck, it would save me a lot of minor headaches if it was a unified agreement.

  • I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?

    I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?, I want to change my primary email address, and use one already associated with my account why can I not do this ?  I don't want to create another one if I really don't need to
    Any ideas ?

    I'm afraid that once an address has been associated with an Apple ID you can't re-use it in any way. You will have to create another address (such as a free on from GMail or Yahoo for example).

  • Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    Whenever I modify a photo in Iphoto it puts it in a "modified" subfolder. Why can't I move this modified file (I changed and saved file name) back to the Iphoto main file so I can see it when I open my photos?

    A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.
    If that does not cure it backup up your iPhoto library and rebuild it - depress the option and command keys and launch iphoto and use the options there - exact option depends on teh version you have
    And always remember - NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - nothing - no deletions - no name changes - nothing

  • HT1528 Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

    Why can't I bookmark this page like I can with support.discussions pages?

    Hi UI Guy,
    I can't provide the technical reason, however, I'm farilry certain it is a function of Forum structure itself.
    Don't know if you are interested in suggestions to meet your need to "bookmark pages within the Apple Support system so you can refer back to them easily", but I use them regularly, and do this one of two ways (I use both):
    If it is strictly an Apple Support page that I retrieved from Apple, I bookmark it with clear easy to find names, and put them in my Apple Support Folder in my bookmarks (I use Firefox). That way, when I need to provide a link to someone I'm replying to, I can quickly find the item I want them to be able to link to.
    I also bookmark discussions that have links in them that I may want to use, and tag them so I can find them later.
    I have to say, however, that for Apple Support Pages, the best solution for me has been to have my Apple Folder with my personally named bookmarks in Firefox. Easy to find, easy to cut and paste into a discussion on a separate window, easy to reference when I need to know something.
    Again, don't know if you even wanted to know any of that, but thought I'd share!
    Cheers,

  • A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?

    In iTunes I have music Playlists set to shuffle (blue double arrow button) and audio books Playlist set no shuffle. I have been unable to get my iPod to follow these settings. A suggested work around is to use the iPod Settings to set the shuffle function to "songs" when playing music and then switching to “off’ for audio books. There has to be a better way. How do I set the Playlists on my iPod to function the same as it does on iTunes?

    LeftyLucy,
    Using your process are you able to set your iPod to shuffle then listen to the audio book without it shuffling the chapters? I have tried your suggestion with the iPod setting set to shuffle and the chapters shuffled. This is the issue from my original post. I want to listen to music with the shuffle function and listen to audio books (no shuffle) without having to change the settings every time I switch.
    Keep in mind that is not a purchased audio nor a imported book.
    Using a tip from the following post:
    Tom Graves, "A Playlist idiot. Why can't I get this to work?" #11, 05:26pm Sep 28, 2005 CDT
    I have attempted to make the audio book file into an authenticate file but that did not help.

    What apps?
    When do they get "lost"?
    What model iPod and iOS?
    Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

  • Why can't Quicktime Pro demux MPEG1 files?

    After buying QuickTime Pro I discovered that I couldn't convert muxed MPEG1 files without losing the audio. I understand that QTP simply doesn't have that capability and now use MPEG Streamclip to demux the audio then I can import the video and demuxed audio file into iMovie and export it from there.
    But why can't QTP demux it itself, to begin with? I don't see how a simple freeware app can do it but QTP, which isn't free, can't. I probably wouldn't have bought QTP if they spelled out clearly on the pages about Quicktime that it couldn't do this, just like how they point out the extra MPEG2 plugin you may need.
    I don't regret purchasing QTP; I'm just disappointed that I didn't get everything I thought I was paying for, and that I have to take extra steps to convert old video clips.

    Mike, it can't edit or convert Real, WMV and a lot of AVI's using some codecs as well. I think it would be a fair question if they ever represented that it could which they don't - in fact they say it will not export audio with muxed MEPG 1 , and 2 files.
    It edits "editable" video while MPEG is a delivery format that is not that great to edit even if it is decent enough quality (since there are not actual frames each 1/30th of a second to edit for starters).
    MPEG Streamclip is best looked at as not better than QT Pro but an adjunct to help do some file conversions (and with the latest version a LOT of file conversions) to a QT format that you could then use in QT pro to edit, add tracks to and so on. Or to DV for Life/FCE for editing more complex jobs.
    This complaint or observation is often heard for iMovie and Final Cut as well and Apple says the same thing, don't use MPEG as source video for these editors - they are not MPEG editors and were not sold as such.

  • Two Apple IDs Why can't you fix this?

    Why can't you fix the problem for those of us who ended up with multiple Apple IDs and permit us to merge just once? I understand that IDs are tied to software updates but surely you chave the capability tod o this?

    These are user-to-user forums, they are not monitored by Apple (there are too many forums/threads/messages for that to happen). It is not currently possible to merge, or transfer content between, iTunes accounts -  if you want to leave feedback for Apple then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Why can't I delete this video file from my trash can?

    I have a video file that I will not disappear from my trash can when I click the "empty track" button. I managed to move the folder containing the video file from documents to the trash after a lot of effort, but it kept telling me that I didn't have the privileges necessary to delete the video permanently. Now the video file is sitting inside a folder inside the trash can where I can't move anywhere else. If I try to move it anywhere else, it simply copys to that folder but stays inside the original stays in the trash can as well, but I can still delete the copy and the original stays sitting in the trash can. Can anyone help me so I can get rid of this file once and for all.

    ho yeah .. i know that, but i tried even in a low quality and it's not worked.
    Maybe it's related to the TimeQuick?

  • HT5527 Why can I not share files anymore now that MobileMe is gone?

    Previously, I could send large files to clients via links with MobileMe. I cannot find how to do this anymore. Is this option still available?

    No,  iCloud does not provide such a service. Look inti Dropbox or Sugarsync for iDisk-like features. Basic accounts are free.
