ROTS Trailer/Quicktime Plug-In & No Video

[mdahc]

For some reason, whenever I try to play the Episode III trailer or TV ads from starwars.com, I don't get any video, only audio. This happens with IE and Firefox, and only with Episode III videos. Every other Quicktime movie I've tried (including other trailers from other StarWars movies) works just fine. In addition, I have the same Quicktime settings on my laptop, and ROTS plays just fine as well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Could this be b/c of DEP (that's the only real difference I can think of)? Any suggestions?

Desktop Setup (where Quicktime is malfunctioning):
Windows XP Pro 32-bit SP2
Quicktime 6.5.2 (latest version)
AMD Athlon64 3200+ (OC'd to 2.2GHz)
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.5)
1GB OCZ DDR466 Gold Ed. Rev. 3 (220MHz @ 2.5, 4, 4, 8, 2T)
eVGA AGP Geforce 6600 GT
Chaintech AV710 VIA Envy 24PT sound card
21" Sony CPD-E540/B Trinitron CRT
single WD 36.7GB Raptor

Laptop Setup:
Windows XP Pro 32-bit SP2
Quicktime 6.5.2 (latest version)
Intel Pentium4-m (2.0GHz)
1x512MB Micron DDR266 SODIMM

May require a newer version of QT. Go to QuickTime.com and get the latest.

Let me also strongly recommend you uninstall that code bloated, advertising popup excuse for a video player and instead install Quicktime Alternative: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4100

Replace Real Player while you're at it as well: http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4094

Hope this helps...

Sweet. I've never heard of these. I had the latest version of Quicktime, but I'll try the alternatives.

 

[mdahc]

Tried the alt's and still no effect.

 

[FlyingPenguin]

You uninstall QT first?

 

[mdahc]

Yep, and the RealPlayer alt wouldn't play back several Real Media sources.

 

[FlyingPenguin]

I use them both and they play everything I've ever thrown at them. Not sure what's going on.

Latest video card drivers? It's possible the codec is trying to render the file using overlay mode, and something with your graphics card is screwed up. Worth a try, anyway.

Well, I thought I had the latest official nVIDIA driver. I have 71.84 installed, and I was waiting on 71.89 to get WHQL certified, and I just noticed it's now certified. So I'll try installing it. I just think it's so strange that all other QT movies will play except ROTS ads/trailers.

I am in the same boat.

All Quicktime movies work fine, except ROTS clips. I can actually play ROTS clips if they in 320 X 127 size. Anything else, I just get audio.

I have uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and installed the standalone version they recommended on their website.

System specs are in my sig.
