Open your file in quicktime pro, go to movie, then get movie properties. On the left drop-down menu pick video track and on the right one pick format. What does it say on the data format line?

Hi - thanks for getting back to me. Much appreciated. There were loads of files (they are the rushes from a film) and I chose one at random (for all the clips it’s the same problem -sound plays but not picture).

For video track, it said:
data size: 7.85 Mb
data rate: 35.07 mbits/sec
format: HDV 1080i50
Channel: N/A (it said n/a which might explain why the picture isn’t playing?! but how can I get a channel to apply to it)

For sound track, it said:
data size: 352.50 KB
data rate: 1.5 mbits/sec
format: Integer (Big En...)
Channel: 2.0 (mono mono)

look forward to hearing from you soon.
thanks
Kara

I thought it may have been a codec problem, but maybe it’s not. Let’s try something else.
Go to edit/preferences/quicktime preferences. There should be video settings somewhere. Set it to safe mode and see if anything changes.

Hi - thanks for that. I just put the video settings in safe mode but I still can’t see picture.

Also, when I first start up quicktime and try to open one of the .mov files from the film rushes, a box comes up saying that a component file of Quicktime is missing and then I press continue and I come to an apple page with a load of third party programmes (codecs?).

Look forward to hearing from you.
take care
Kara

Hey Robin - I got in touch with Apple and they said HDV was not supported by Quicktime. I spoke to a level 2 in Apple tech support. He was so certain about this that they offered me my money back (for Quicktime 7 pro)!
Best of luck with your film project.
all the best
Kara

I don’t know if U R talking about High Definition Video Files (HDV)or Hyper Digital Video..but U can try this player.
Alambik McPlayer 1.53: Enables you to play Hyper Digital Videos (".HDV” files) and Alamgrams (".ALG” files) as well as ".MPEG”, ".AVI”, ".WMV”, ".ASF” " and ".OGG”. The Alambik McPlayer is set up with control buttons which allow you to interact on these linear productions (play, pause, stop, forward, rewind, skip to the desired track, etc.)
Just google 4 Alambik McPlayer 1.53

Have you guys heard of this program called HDVxDV? It seems to be quite a good solution to transfer the HDV (highdefvideo) into quicktime files.

I have the total opposite problem, when i export a video to the iPod form, it exports the video but no sound. When i clicked on options to changed the audio to ACC, i was unable to click on the audio option. Please reply with help.

you can play the files, if you rename them .mpg, instead of .mov. then windows media player, and after effects can play them, haven’t tested anything else. maybe if you have MPG2 quicktime codec, Quicktime can play them as well, but that costs extra,a nd I haven’t tried it...well, good luck,

Same problem. Tried with QuickTime MPEG2 component and doesn’t work. Though I was skeptical, I also tried renaming the file and it won’t play in WMP11 nor import into Adobe PPro2. We’re out of luck here until Apple decides to support HDV in QuickTime for Windows.

I can play .mov files inside a flash presentation, but when I try to play this files out of the presentation, only playback sound (Quicktime Pro).

Does anyone know what´s this about?

Thank you.

Hi there you need to get Final Cut Pro to get the codecs then they will play.
