    Apple Quicktime Conferencing Kit

    I recently listed an Apple QuickTime Conferencing kit and was contacted by an eBay member with a LOT of vintage listing saying it couldn't be sold because it was a prototype and that I needed to unlist it. I don't think this is true, but I've been looking through old Mac magazines and searching...

    Videos rotating outside of player (bug)

    This is a strange bug that popped up after updating to 13.0.1 - videos (whether played in QT or in Safari (like YouTube)) all rotate 90 deg clockwise and clip outside of the player! Moving the mouse will immediately correct the video, only for it to glitch again a few frames later. What's more...

    Screenshot utility is blacking out recording video on streaming apps and sites

    It just started happening in the past two days. I spoke to Apple and it seems like this is a copyright issue when recording on streaming services. For example, I did a quick video shot of the show Jeopardy. I took a screenshot image before I started recording and then another one after. Only the...

    Screenshots/save location not working in QuickTime on Monterey

When attempting to do so I get the message 'Your screenshot can't be saved - Cannot write file to intended destination'.

    The Best Tiger Media Player, VLC 0.9.1?

    I wanted to play some ‘industry standard 720p’ ;) encoded video on a Mac mini 2006. I found QuickTime to be a laggy mess. PPCMC7 FFplay, in its native PowerPC build is also not able to keep up. I am excited however to see what happens with a native Intel build. VLC 0.9.1 saved the day, was able...

    Importing AVCHD Files on Big Sur

    Hi all! So I just updated to Big Sur but I'm having some trouble importing AVCHD video files from a Sony Camera through Quicktime Player.

    Play Audio file (with Quicktime) without opening it

    Not sure if this is a Big Sur or an M1 Mac issue (or a combination of both). Before upgrading to M1MacBook running, of course, Big Sur, I could hover over an audio file on my desktop for instance and get a little 'Play' button so I could audition a file without having to open it. This feature is...

    External Webcam stopped working (Zoom, QT, etc.)

    I've been using an old USB camera (ZOOM Q4) as a webcam with my MacBook Pro 2019 16" (it's positioned above my external monitor since my Mac is low and off-center on my desk). Didn't need drivers (other than for the audio) and the system recognized it when it was plugged in. I've been using it...

    QuickTime freezes on launch

    Hi I was trying to create a simple (image sequence) slideshow in QuickTime X -- I miss QT 7 Pro's basic but useful editing features -- when, apparently, I did more than my old Mac mini could handle (somehow). And after several minutes of non-responsiveness, I decided to force quit QT -- which...
