Why does Quicktime crash on "New Movie Recording?"

I have been trying to fix a bizarre problem.
When I open Quicktime and select "New Movie Recording," the application crashes. When I open any other Quicktime driven application that wants to do movie recording, it crashes. When I try to open Quicktime Preferences for "Recording" the application crashes.
I have repaired permissions and even set up another user to see if these make a difference. They do not.
What can I do?
Thanks.

SOLUTION FOUND!!
I called Apple Care this morning...they had me run through a bunch of steps that were of no use to me. The Rep was in the process of getting more info when we were cut off. So I tried the logical step: UNINSTALL Quick Time, and DOWNLOAD a new one.
I have QT PRO, so I made sure I copied my authorization key before I did this. Go to your applications folder, drag and drop Quick Time in the Trash. Then empty the trash.
Go to the Quick Time page on Apple, download and install Quick Time. You'll be prompted to restart the computer.
After signing on, I double checked to see if my version was current. I also double checked by checking software updates. I went to the QT PREFERENCES page...and believe it or not, my Pro Registration Key was already filled in for me! If yours isn't, I suggest you enter it and then try and record a movie.
Btw, I'm also an Apple Care customer, so I did a Tech Tool Deluxe scan before and after the QT Uninstall/Reinstall. Prior to the uninstall, the Video RAM test FAILED. After the reinstall, the Video RAM test PASSED.
I just recorded three short video and audio tests...works like a charm!
I don't know what could have caused this, but I found it unusual that you and I had the same problem on the same day. Hopefully the gang at Apple will recognize this if it is indeed a wider issue.
Good luck...and let me know how it went for you!

Quicktime Pro crashes whenever new movie recording is selected

I just got a brand new Macpro 2x 3ghz quad core with OSX 10.4.1. Running Qt 7.2 using AVDC-110 for capture. Seems to work with imovie. But I can only capture video with quicktime if Pro Tools is open. Playback in Pro Tools through AVDC-110 seems to be hit or miss after capture with either program, (the same file only playsback through the 110 about 1/2 the time) though videos captured on my old G5 with the same capture device playback flawlessly on the new computer. If Pro Tools is not open, Quicktime crashes when either "new movie recording" or "recording preferences" are selected. The problem seems to be a conflict between my AVDC-110 and quicktime, like quicktime doesn't see the device until another piece of software has recognized it. Any ideas?
thanks for any help.

I'd try upgrading your system software... any reason you haven't yet?
Also... try repairing permissions in DISK UTILITY.
See if that doesn't help. If not, we'll go in and do some other stuff too.

Why does quicktime 10 keep reloading movie and won't quit?

When I try to quit quicktime after watching a movie, it just keeps reloading the movie. I've tried force quit, and clicking on file to quit, but it keeps reopening. I'm using Firefox, so I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it?
Any help would be apprecitated!

Hey there AmandaJoelle,
It sounds like your Quicktime application is quiting unexpectedly. I recommend the following article to help troubleshoot possible issues with 3rd party plug-ins, named:

Why does Quicktime freeze when opening .movs?

For the past few months, I have experienced intermittent screen "blackouts"; essentially the screen goes black as if the computer has gone into sleep mode (while still working in a given program) but there is nothing I can do but a hard shutdown to exit this state. Recently, both Quicktime and VLC have stopped working properly; I've discovered that Quicktime will open .AVI files, but freezes when opening .mov files. VLC will open neither. Both programs work fine when working with audio files. I have updated my mac's graphic drivers (to the best of my knowledge) and have worked around various preferences (open GL video output in VLC for instance) to no avail. My only remaining theory is a corrupt .mov codec file, or a compounding issue stemming from the initial screen blackouts (which I've discovered could be an actual hardware problem with mac pros sold around 2010..), but I feel it's time to outsource for some new solutions. I'm still running Snow Leopard 10.6.8; 2.66 GHz Intel core i7; 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; MacBook Pro from 2010. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated, as I've researched for hours and have yet to find a solution or even a potential cause for these issues.

Here is the output from the Etrecheck program. It should be noted that I was only able to run this in Safe Mode. I've bolded the lines which were highlighted in red by the program.

Why does Quicktime crash my computer? Windows 7 64 bit

So I like to edit videos and for my camera I need quicktime to view and import files. I got a new computer and whenever I open quicktime to do that, my computer lags a bit and then just crashes. It says that the card is not in the right drive (F) but it is in the F drive. It then slowly destroys my computer until it crashes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled too, it didn't work. Is anyone else having this problem and if so how do you resolve it?

and i cet error ( 42110 )

Why does pprocs6 crash when i move clips in timeline??? [ error: ... linkcontainer.cpp-245 ]

I am currently editing a short film which is only about 25-30mins long with nothing out of the ordinary in the timeline. There are a couple of nested sequences but most of it is .MTS (AVCHD from Sony NEX VG20) and .WAV files for audio (inc some 5.1 audio from camera).
Some of the channels are locked so they dont move but other than that nothing strange or particualry intensive is being done. Some of the clips are 25fps and some are 60fps but this shouldnt be a proplem for PProCS6!
The sequence settings are AVCHD 720, 24fps,
I am running a core2duo 2.16cpu/8gbram/ creative cloud OS and program on C: drive, footage on esata G: drive and scratch drive O: drive is another usb 2.0 drive.
As soon as I move the clips in the timeline as a group I get this error come up (see screengrabs below) "... linkcontainer.cpp-245"
please help
None of my searches have given me an answer, one person even said "reinstall software" [nonesense!!!]
I am just days away from submitting my short film for my final major project at Uni and the film is worth 50% of my module... basically I could fail if film isnt handed in!

The CPU hasnt been too much of an issue before, I shot a 1hr30min documentary last year at it only lagged at the final export stage.
In saying that it isnt the best, thank God my upgrade is coming soon!
What I mean by "moving the clips in a group is..."
using the tool (right facing arrow and shift - sorry I cant remember the tool's name) and selecting every clip to the right of it, for the purposes of moving to an earlier point in the timeline to close a gap, moving clips individually is out of the question and there are too many and loads are specifically sync'd and have intricate sequencing and timings.
I havent tried 'grouping' the clips but I shouldnt need to for a simple move like this.
All I need to do is close a few gaps in the timeline.
thanks
Allan

Quicktime not recording audio in New Movie Recording

Audio is not recorded when using an audio interface as the input in New Movie Recording, but records fine when in New Screen and Audio Recording. Using my laptop's internal microphone is fine, cannot work out what the problem is, as it has worked absolutely fine in the past, but has stopped.
Sound can be heard and the volume meter in Quicktime responds to sound coming in, just doesn't record at all in that mode.

Are you launching Captivate with Run As Administrator privilege?
If one of your co-workers logs onto your PC with their user profile, does the same microphone that doesn't work for you work OK for them?

The Quicktime Pro New Movie Recording Feature

I just got the Pro edition, and it says in the guide that to record a new movie all I have to do is plug in my camera and then go to File menu and click on "New Movie Recording", but I don't have that item on my menu? I'm guessing it should be there, and I checked that I typed in my key correctly, so what is wrong? I have a camera and mic but what I really want is to do it with quicktime.
Thanks for your help.

I just bought the powershot canon s21s and followed drom the quicktime pro 1) file
2) new movie recording
3) quick time does not recognize my camara. Any Ideas ??

That won't do. What I mean is you have to navigate to the file and make it active in pastebin and then copy the highlighted line like this

Why does Safari crash in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Why does Safari crashes in the middle of a movie or show from the internet?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Quicktime - no option to do 'new movie recording'.

I have upgraded to Quicktime pro but only have the option in the file menu to do 'new audio recording'. I want to be able to do 'new movie recording'. The software is installed on a new Toshiba laptop with an inbuilt cam. I have also tried plugging in an external webcam. Any suggestions?

Thanks Kirk. Not the outcome I wanted but it is good to have a definitive answer
Appreciate you taking the time to help

QT Pro new movie recording

Is there any way to choose window size and bit rate when using the new movie recording feature(directly from firewire)? Recording preferences only lists good, better, and device native - without the ability to "fine tune". When recording TV using the better setting(h264) I get a different bit rate every time - from 215 kbps to 1164 kbps. I realize I can use device native then save it however I want but was hoping to avoid the extra step and long encoding time.
powermac 2.0 DP G5 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

In QuickTime Pro, choose File > New Movie Recording (or File > New Audio Recording).
I do not get the option New Movie Recording?
Do you have a compatible video device connected to your system to provide video input? (I.e., QT 7 Pro does no include a "Screen Recoding" option if that is what you are trying to do. It only records video from a built-in or compatible externally connected video device.)

Record 16:9 in new movie recording?

Hi,
Is it possible to record a DV 16:9 image from a camera as a DV 16:9 movie without letterboxing using the new movie recording feature? If so, how can this be done?
Also, can I take a 4:3 DV movie with letterboxing and convert that to a real 16:9 movie without letterboxing with an aspect ratio of 320 x 180? If so, how?
Thanks..

I don't know why my frame rate varied 3 times but I find it strange that with your G5 2.0 ghz, you are only able to record 29.5fps. Do you have other programs or widgets/dashboards running?
Guilty as charged. Can usually remember to exit Safari, Mail, and/or iChat but never remember to shut down the widgets. (Usually have 4-9 active at all times.) In addition, SnapsProX is always left active and since I'm always updating clips for the family on my DotMac account the blasted MirrorAgent is constantly coming on when I least expect or want it to do so. (Frequently find myself manually terminating it in the activity monitor just so I can turn the computer off.)
I will be recording only approximately 1:30 at a time directly from my DV camera to Quicktime on iMac G5 with nothing else running. Do you think I'll have a problem with frame rates less than 29.97?
Don't see it being a major problem for most "light" work which you intend to target at say "QT Trailer" frame rates/data rates/quality settings or less. Would not use it for sourcing DVD burns and don't like using it for iPod/Podcast targeted files or when capturing a 2, 3, 4-hour movie or marathon of old TV shows. Won't say there is anything specifically wrong with using it. It is just that I prefer a dedicated capture application with better known and more consistent characteristics. Would say it is all matter of "the exegencies of the moment" really.

No New Movie Recording Command

I downloaded the 7.16 Quick Time Player and then upgraded to Quick Time Pro. The registration appeared to be successful, as the Preferences page now shows the user name, key code, and "Quick Time 7 Pro". However, on the File menu, there is no command for New Movie Recording. There's only New Player and New Audio Recording. What am I doing wrong??

First, everyone here is just a user like you. With rare exceptions, Apple employees do not participate in the Discussions. So it's not "our" advertisement.
As to "advertising", nowhere on the QuickTime for Windows site does it ever say that video capture is a feature. If you read the Mac feature list and just presumed that it applied as well to the Windows version, then that was obviously an unwarranted assumption. It's never wise to presume features hold consistent across platforms, as it's rarely the case.
You can ask for a refund, but it's extremely unlikely that you'll get one. Apple's terms of sale clearly state that download software isn't eligible for refunds, and this isn't a case of a feature being promised but not working but rather of mistaken expectations.
Sorry, but you're probably out of luck.

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after i put on disk using idvd

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after burning to a dvd using idvd. Its about 90 minutes long.

Hi
As Alchroma writes - more info needed.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Why does Quicktime crash on "New Movie Recording?"
