Original source file opens and auto plays with "black" screen and no audio in QT X Player. I see what you mean about the lastest changes.
Flip4mac wmv components for quicktime software#
Not a regular WMV user so I had to locate a WMV file to test lastest Flip4Mac software update. (At the moment I don't have Flip4Mac installed for QT X it seems, as the program won't open. The "preview" function is based on "QuickView" technology (about which I know nothing)-not QT technology.

wmv files using QT 7's 'engine', would it be possible to somehow get Preview to instead use QT X (+ Flip4Mac ?) so that it can immediatly show me the full file? What I'm wondering is, it seems Finder's Preview function shows me the. It employs its own built in codec support which targets both program and transport streams using open source routines developed over the years since 1996 while Apple has only recently turned its eye in this direction with the advent of QT X. VLC does not rely on QT technology at all. One of the major changes in QT X "new" technology is that it is more transport stream friendly. In the WMV file container, QT must read through the data in every car to get from the engine to the caboose while in an MOV file container, QT just looks at each railroad car and jumps to the next car without having to actually read the data inside each car-a much faster operation.) (You can think of this as a string of railroad cars. This process does take time but can be avoided thereafter if you simply use the "Save As." option to save the expanded data to an MOV file container which can then open immediately but is proably twice the size of the original WMV file container. QT 7 is based on "old" program stream video technology which requires QT to pre-expand the data to locate the end of the file and ensure that it is properly terminated. I work with video and I like the editing capabilities of QuickTime Pro, and would rather not use VLC for opening. WMV files and I do not want to convert them as it would take weeks.

I'd just like QuickTime Pro to do the same thing instantly open and play any. I'm guessing that VLC is using a different codec or way of playing back WMV files. I think it changed at some point, either updating the OS or installing a newer version of Flip4Mac. But this problem has been around for a few years actually. I'm running the latest version of OSX Lion: 10.7.4 with the Flip4Mac Windows Media Components for QuickTime. WMV files that QuickTime needs to import. The strange is however, that in VLC I can open and instantly watch the same. WMV file in QuickTime (Pro, 7.6.6) it needs to first ' import' the whole file which can literally take minutes depending on the file's size. WMV files in QuickLook, it only shows the first 5% (or so) of the video. I know this topic has been covered many a time in some form or another, but I have never been able to find an actual sollution.
