Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?

Why do only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone?
I have noticed that only some QuickTime movies play on the iPhone, does anyone know why?
Thanks,
Brandon

Depends on how the movies are encoded for Quicktime (i.e. which compression/codec). The iPhone supports only H.264 video.

  • I have an unwanted quicktime movie playing in the background.

    I was watching a youtube iMovie video.  I quit QuiickTime Player, but a little later it started to play again. It is still playing, but QT Player is not running. I have checked every browser tab I have open. I have checked Finder and it is not showing anything.
    I restarted and the youtube started up again. All I can figure is I have a ghost in my iMac. I am totally puzzled.

    Cycle through open applications by holding the Command (⌘) key down while pressing the Tab key. Each press of the tab key selects the next open app in sequence.
    From that interface you can quit the open app by releasing only the Tab key and pressing the Q key.

  • PREMIERE PRO SLOW & NO RT FOR SOME QUICKTIME MOV

    My premiere pro is very slow when  loading a project of 45.5 GB source files. It takes about four  minutes to load this project of mpeg 2 HDV files which it captured from  my Canon XH A1. The files are located on an eSATA RAID 0 HDD partitioned to 2TB and 1TB respectively and is powered by  Mapower TB 32 Raid controller.
    Secondly my Mercury  Playback Engine is not offering real time playback on some quicktime mov  files. The footage is really choppy when playing back in CS5. These  files have been generated and rendered in after effects using Animation as the  compression type @ 1440 x 1080 25fps. In addition to that I have some stock footage 1920 x 1080 24fps from Actionbacks which have an  alpha channel. These files are not playing back in real time, despite  having the EVGA GTX 285 2GB GPU. Please note that I get a yellow bar but  no RT at all and I can't even render them to get the smooth playback required. Anyone knows qhy is this happening?
    The software is installed on C drive 250GB HDD which is about 70GB free.
    I have got a  Matrox RT X2 card installed with the beta drivers which is also  exhibiting the same problem. But this problem is non Matrox project.
    Is  there anything I can do to improve perfomance and realtime playback  here. I have invested a lot in my current system to the extend that I am  now very disapoointed with the current perfomance.
    Thank you for your assistance.

    I'd throw back to harm's explanation.

  • Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video?

    Using QuickTime Pro with an .mpg movie, why can I only get it to play from the beginning, but not from any other point in the video? How can I fix this?

    What format of MPG is this?  Is this an MPEG1 or MPEG2 video?  How was the video created?

  • Some QuickTime movies won't play after 10.4.4 upgrade

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded to 10.4.4 and now some QuickTime movies - mostly from Safari won't play any more. I do online training and none of those QuickTime movies will play. They load perpetually. They also work fine on my other machine (which I haven't upgrade from v10.4.3 yet)
    According to System Profiler, I'm running QuickTime 7.0.0 - but I can't find 7.0.1 in the Apple downloads section. I'm not even sure if that will help.
    Any ideas?

    Most current version of QT is indeed 7.0.4, but Apple has removed that update and instead posted one that backs 7.0.4 back to 7.0.1.
    Apple is now passively recommending against 7.0.4
    One of the links that no longer works is any of VTC.com's training videos.

  • Help! Quicktime Movies playing only five still frames

    When I try and play quicktime movies on my PC (Windows Vista) they play back with sound, but only five still frames from the movie play on the screen. How do i fix the problem?
    I'm running windows vista and Quicktime 7.3.1. The problem shouldn't be the video card as all my other video player applications playback fine.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    I have found the solution to this problem I presented.
    Sorry, I didn't realize that a computer monitor cannot support these images accurately.
    http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rossshane/fcpfaq.php
    I had a Canopus ADVC-110 sitting right here.
    Plugged it up to the TV,
    and the images appeared fine.
    But this brings up one more question:
    Is there a way to have all these images from Final Cut accurately displayed on a computer monitor ?
    I've got a lot of more of them around than TVs . . .
    Sorry to have bothered you with this, but I would appreciate further information on displaying the images on a computer monitor.
    Thanks !

  • Small white square in top left corner of some Quicktime movies I make?

    I have been wondering what that Small white square is that appears in top left corner of some Quicktime movies I make? When I export to Flash and upload, or even just upload to Vimeo an H.264 file, there it is, little white square. I put a still frame up online here http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4036/4682390438bb0c16da2eb.jpg
    Cheers.
    Final Cut Pro 7.0.2., Quicktime Pro 7.6.6, Quicktime Player 10.0...

    Solved it by de-installing Adobe Flash Player plug-in and installing it again. All good now

  • Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

    Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

    First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

  • Why do only some of my photos load to photo stream even when taken on the same day?

    Why do only some of my photos load to photo stream even when taken on the same day?

    Hello Karelyn,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
    I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
    Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
    Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • Why are only SOME metadadta selectable?

    Why are only SOME metadadta selectable? (and this cmd - C copy-able)
    If your try to select 'Pixel Size', you can.
    If you try to select 'Aperture', you can not.
    If you try 'Orientation', you can.
    If you try 'Exposure Bias', you can not
    Why on earth does it do this? Why not just give access to all the fields?
    Aperture is so great at letting me attach metadata to my images, but it seems so limited in allowing you to get it back...

    itunes only back up photos in your camera roll.

    Updated iPad 2 last night.  All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed.  The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this

    Quit the app and restart the iPad.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Try the videos app again.

  • Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?

    Why does my ipod no longer play all the items in a playlist?  I have to go to each item individually to select it as it no longer goes from one item to the next.

    what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

  • I have over 50 gigs of music on iTunes; can I store only some on my laptop and the rest on a backup HDD?

    I have over 50 gigs of music on iTunes; can I store only some on my laptop and the rest on a backup HDD?

    Just copy the music from one computer to another over your network or via a USB flash drive.
    If you are in the US, have the latest version of iTunes (10.3) and the media was purchased via the iTunes store, you can redownload all the content via iTunes.
