#102693 — QuickTime plug-in?

FromPatty Winter <patty1@wintertime.com>
Date2017-03-21 02:23 +0000
SubjectQuickTime plug-in?
Message-ID<oaq2qe$6q7$1@dont-email.me>
I was just trying to play a video that I posted on my website
some years ago. In Firefox, I got the error message, "Video
format or MIME type is not supported." In Safari, it said,
"Missing Plug-in." When I clicked on that notice, I got a 
new window that said, "This webpage has content that requires the 
'QuickTime' plug-in. To view this content you need this plug-in. 
For more information, visit the plug-in's website." But when I
clicked "More Info," I was taken to the main Safari site. A 
search for "QuickTime plug-in" on Apple's website turned up no
results.

The video in question is in .mov format. Do I need to convert
the video (and other .mov videos on my website) to some other
format in order for them to be viewable nowadays? Or are there
different variations in the .mov format and it's still usable
if I use some other form of .mov?

open the .mov in quicktime player and determine what codec was used.

According to the Inspector in QT10, it's H.264.

The QuickTime plugin is a standard one included with the OS, but it has
been disabled by default in the last few OS versions.

https://support.apple.com/HT205081

In addition, some web browsers are now actively blocking most plugins,
so it might not work in Firefox even if you enable the plugin.

Converting the video to a more modern cross-platform format (e.g.
MPEG-4/H.264) would be a better choice, as many people will be unable to
view QuickTime video from web sites without a lot of mucking around.

Thanks, David, that page was very helpful. I wonder why I got no
results when I searched for "QuickTime plug-in" on Apple's website.
I thought that search included support.apple.com.

I found the instructions for reinstalling the plug-in on my MacBook.
The video is working for me now, but of course that doesn't let me
share it with other people. (Since I originated the video, I already
had it in a viewable form off the web.)

It's working in Safari, but not Firefox. I might be able to do
something about FF, but now that I know that that won't fix the
problem for other people, I'm not sure it's worth it.

Yeah, apparently not.

I'm not seeing any codec options when I choose Export from QT Player 10.
It just asks what resolution I want and for what device. In QT7 Pro, I 
see several export options, including MPEG-4. Do you recommend that?

BTW, what are we all going to do when QT7 Pro eventually stops working
with some future Mac OS? I don't want to have to buy some expensive
video-editing program!

BTW, I just discovered that the .mov file on my website is actually
just an 85KB pointer to an .m4v file that has the actual video.
However, that doesn't change the results of the Inspector, which
says that it's an H.264 video.

So the real mystery is why QuickTime does not just play it.  That is 
about as universal a format as you could expect to get.  QuickTime, 
iTunes, and QuickLook in Finder should all play it.

Does it make a difference if you play the file directly, rather than 
use this .mov pointer?

A.

When I put the direct URL to the m4v file, Firefox wants to download
it. I even tried changing the prefs in FF for m4v files, but opening
them in FF wasn't an option.

that's an issue with the web server. however, you should be able to
play it in qtplayer.

I can play the file anywhere I want; it's my video, so I already have
the file on my computer. The question is how I can make this video and 
other old videos on my website easily viewable by other people. IOW,
viewable via a web browser; not making them download a video and use 
some other application on their computer to view it.

Okay, but I doubt that it will work for anyone who doesn't have the
QT plug-in.

Well, I'm getting a cat walking around on a bed.

However, it occurs to me that I do actually have QT 7 installed 
alongside QT 10. That may or may not be relevant.

/Library/QuickTime/ contains 2 items:

AppleIntermediateCodec.component
AppleMPEG2Codec.component

I'm wondering if the latter might be involved since it has a copyright 
of 2011 leading me to believe it was installed by QuickTime 7.

poking around I also have ~/Library/Components/XiphQT.component

But IRC that had something to do with getting the ogg vorbis files on 
wikipedia to work properly.
