Depending on what format your video is, quicktime may not be able to play it. I like VLC for a video player. It plays every video format I've ever tried. It's free to download. This could also be because of the type of file it is, as mentioned before. If your computer doesn't recognize the type of file (.wmv, .mov, etc.), it will either try to open it in a program it thinks is best, or it will ask you what you want to open it in. Sometimes it is just a bad file, and cannot be played at all, even with the correct player for the extension. Also, look at the extension (.mov, .wmv, etc.). '.mov' (a common video file extension appearing after the file name) is able to be played in QuickTime, and .wmv (another common file extension) is able to be played in Windows Media Player. Look at the extension and find the corresponding Video Player that plays that extension or file type. As mentioned before, it might just be a bad file, and needs to either be redone, or redownloaded, depending on where you got it from.

How do you put your own videos on your iPod without buying quicktime 7 pro?

Without buying Quicktime 7 Pro, you should have iMovie '06 HD or later. iMovie HD ('06) allows you to convert whatever video is in that file to an iPod format by going to Share, and then click iPod (if iPod does not show up as an option, click on Quicktime, and then change it to iPod through the top bar of options). This will transfer the video in iMovie to iTunes and will work on your iPod in amazing quality.

How do you convert videos from a Quicktime format to a format that you can edit in imovie on a Mac?

As I was watching a Microsoft TV commercial the other night advertising Windows XP, I noticed that one of the primary features being promoted was Digital Video (DV) editing. Funny how the XP interface looked very much like Apple's iMovie. Yes, like its older cousin QuickTime (that by the way just celebrated its tenth birthday), iMovie is destined to be imitated time and time again because it's truly a breakthrough application. Dare I say Killer App? But iMovie has its frustrations too. The two complaints I receive most often are: * I can't import my analog video into iMovie, and * I can't use iMovie's powerful feature set for my QuickTime videos and stills. The truth of the matter is that both hurdles can be overcome, and the solutions can be summed up in this sentence, "Convert your existing media to DV, then you can use iMovie to edit it." Today I'm going to show you how to import your QuickTime video and stills into iMovie for production, use all of those powerful iMovie tools, then export the content back to QuickTime for playback. I will walk you through this process using a series of tips.

What happens if windows movie maker doesn't show your video on the side?

If Windows Movie Maker does not show your video in the Preview pane, then it is not in the correct format for the program. Sometimes the audio works, but the video doesn't. That means the file is partially compatible -- at least the audio portion is. Check to see what file name extension (format) the video is in. Right-click the file and choose Properties from the drop-down menu. Note the file type. If it is not one compatible with Windows Movie Maker, then it will not show in the Preview pane.
